The Boston Transcript says— "The farmers lighting the ,daylight saving law queer their case by asserting that God understands arranging the hours of daylight and darkness better than, do the palitiioiazas, since it was the Maker at the universe who first plan- ned to have the sun get up an hour or more earlier during the summer than it does during the winter." The corning refrigerator is one that will keep the foot 'chambers cold without the use of ricer, It is already on the American markets, but will not be likely to reach Canada for a season or two. It has coals and pipes and retorts. and ;cools as an as-tine/4 freez- er does by rapid evaporation produced by chemicals. These chemicals cost Iless than ,natural ice, and are far less trouble.

Is it not about time that some ferm- iers would exercise a little commas sense anal judgment when they come to town about drtv;:ng up on, peoples' lawns and boulevards? People in:town pride Themselves in keening their lawns and boulevards nice during the summer and put all kinds of time end work on them, then to. come home some lime and find that some one has driven a team and heavy wagon up ova- then- lawn or boulevard is more f than the overage man can tolerate, and if he say, something eneotnplimentary about the g&lty :one he can; be readily excused. As an instance on Monday evening when the writer got home he found that a farmer had .not only driv- en up an his boulevard, but had al- lowed the team to strip several feet of bark from a beautiful young shade tree of six years standing. A heavy fine should be meted out to such wil- ful carelessness, and we would sive a nice little reward if any person will give` us the name of the offender, Exeter Council Exeter, July 14th, 1.919 A regular meeting or the Munici- pal council of the village of Exeter was held with all members present The minutes of the meeting held June 23rd were read and approved.

Adjourned, 'Jos Senior,Clerk The Glorious Twelfth Tweifth Saturday issued forth in a manner that would daunt the spirit of the thousands who had pleasurable antic- ipation; of celebrating the Gloriosa 12th of July in Exedee. It came with a morning that looked anything but favorable. Low hanging cloyls and an atmosphere presaging a continuation of the rain that started about eight o'clock, was not very encouraging, but it ,4etieloped into an afternoon of ideal weather conditions, and not- withstan,iatg the drizzly intermittent showeez large numbers were gathering an before the (*rmatit.t of the pro- cession it is estimated that between four and five thousand people were here. The comrutteo in charge of the celebration had left nothing un - :,o ie to provede adequately for the collation and lrosp;table entertainment of their guests. The town was neat- ly decorated for the ocrasion and am- ple provision had been made by the churches, hotels, and ocher places for refreshing the immense crowd. fhe streets went;: literally .heunge l with visitors. and the cheer; .ounds of life ani drum, and other gnu ' \tl 'iaa.L, :mewling the Clinton leistea; add 1 x- eter-Bras, bands, were a marked ev d- ean: of enthusiasm, At the ap, o'.ttted time tha brethren forme`] en prozession and the means lode to the number of 28, followed be an immense crowd, marched to Vie tole Park, Huron 'Street, where ".fie sp.aking took place. The park le ad - tunably adapted for an event of tate kind, being' shady and convenient, and it afforded excellent ac omodation tor the large crowd. In the centre of the park the band stand accommodated the speakers and around this the large crowd assembled, On good order being restored the following speakers delivered stirring addresses r—Rew, dr. Parnaby of Elimvnlle, Capt. Rev. S. E. iNfciegney 'of Clinton; Rev, A. A. Trumper of Exeter; Rev. M. J. W;1 son sof Exeter; Rev. Mr. Moulton, County Chaplain of the order; Reeds.

In the cv'ening a concert was given en the Opeat2 House by Kilty enter - Miners. Dancing was in progress dur- ing the altcrnaon at the rink, A tag day for the G. W. 'V. A. of Exeter was liberally responded to a. neat sum was collected. The proceedings throughout the day were of the usual orderly char- acter and creditable alike to all in- tlerestied; It is about 20 years since an Orange demonstration has been celebrated in Exeter and it is to be hoped that it will be at no distant bate when se shall have them again, this event being a huge success and a great credit to the committee in charge. Horse Races at Exeter The horse races here on Wednes- day, July 9, were a great success{, The weather was ideal for such an even, the crowd was large and 'there was nothing whatever lacking that would contribute to a more successful .lay. It was easy the greatest day's racing Exeter has ever witnessed—inn fact the horsemen iat attendance expressed themselves that it was by long .adds. the most ,successful races held any place ,an :Ontario, or would be held this year. The committee in charge are to be congratulated oat the success of the gleet. There were four races and all were well filled, 'there being 6 starrters mn the .Named race, 8 in, the 2.30 class, 5 in, ,the 2.24 and 7 in the 2.10.
