EXETER Our Corner. MR PARDEt✓, LIBERAL M. P. ON CONSCRIPTION "These men are .gone, They went voluntarily They went'as young, red- blooded Canadians should have gone. Does anybody think for a •, moment that they went because they loved the fight and all that it meaans? They went from the highest motives and imperial feelings;; they went to uphold all that aur fathers and fore- fathers have secured and handed down to us. In a nut -shell does not the matter come down to this, that now they have gone, now that they are there, dying, bleeding, sacrificing. themselves in this great war for print ciples, honor and liberty, is it not apparent that the duty of the Canad- tan people and of this Parliament is toe t: t t tthewho have o thatmen gone shall have the backing of the. man who stays at home." Wingham merchatats have adopted the Wednesday half !holiday, going in- to effect the second Wednesday in July. and ending the 2nd Wednesday, in September, the stores closing' at 12.30. Nearly ' every other town an4 village in Ontario is doing the same thing, why not 'Eeter?' School Boards have receive,d copies of the new superannuation act and are now according to instructions from the Minister of 'Education deducting 2g per cent, from each payi ent on teachers' salaries as the teachers' con- tribution to the fund. The 'governs- ment then deducts this amount from the grants to the schools. In the Flighway Travel Act, as amended at the: recent session, a new rule is made ,with regard to theright of way at cross-roadst This rule ap- plies to all vehicles, whether horse- drawn or motor 'driven. Where yte- hecles meet at cross-roads or at cross - streets,' the driver must give the ve- hicle coming towards his right the right of way.

I1' a coalition of minds is impass- T ®`., 7 News s ible in Parliament a:coalitian of hearts and hands is 'not impassible in the c ountry, Sir Wilfrid's latestp olitiical creed— "When England is At war, Canada, is at tear but Quebec is riot necessarily in the conflict," Works The Minister of Public o s 1 rlc has recommended that for three' years; commencing Sept, 14, 197:7. the purl chase or sale of snipe, quail, wood- cock and partridge be prohibited. Lieut,. -Col., Bart. Robson of Ilderton who commaaded the 135th Middlesex Battalion and took it to England, was nominated by the Liberals of East Middlesex to be their standard bear- er at the next contest for the Prov- incial Legislature. Many prominent Ontario and West- ern Liberals have already, spoken in the House of Commons in favor of the Conscription Bill, and some. e.of the•, Quebec Conservatives are stand- ing with X3ordetn on the bill. Thereiis every probability of it passing the House, but not for -a week or two as many others wish to speak. "A regular automobile carnival is carried on all over the country every Sunday, and still we wonder the war goes on. Canada has • so far -escaped her chastening, but just as surely as a famine is new peeping over the hor- izon, so will Canada receive that chastisement, in order to teach , .her that Sunday is a day of rest and not a day for pleasure:,-Bobcaygeon' In- dependent. - said when Hon. A. J. Bal- four addressed the Canadian Parlia- inent, "God 'bless Engtland for all the sacrifices she has made, for thedut- ies she has undertaken, for the risks she has assumed." Why are not these Patriotic words backed by patriotic. action? Reading then to day in the light of Laurier's action on conscrip- tion, England may rwwell exclaim, ' "These people honour me - with their lips, buttheir hearts are far from me." Returned soldiers or sabre who decide to settle an the land in On- tario will be paid $1.10 per day' •for every day spent at the. training farm at Monteith; and ,in the case of mar- ried men their wives will get the sanie, separation allowance as they got while the husbands were serving in. the forces while each child under six- teen years will get 56 per month, tvhich is slightly more than is allow- ed by the Patriotic Fund. The wives also get'the same amount as they got from the Patriotic Fund. Single men will receive $1.10 per day,and those with dependents will get an allow- ance- at least equal to that of . the Patriotic Fund. The British and-Freinc,h have made some further advances on the West and apparently are preparing for an- other big smash. if Russia has really recoverled from the Revolution and ready to take her. place in the fight, as would appear, it is nothing short of wonderful,. Late reports would indicate that she l,as resumed fighting and ;if it is serious something may yet be accomplished tit is year. on the •eastern side. Italy and Austria have been fight- ing very hard during the week, but the progress in that ntout�Itaine,ous region is necessarily ,slow.
