Tindall has received the following letter from her son, George Moffat, who is with the Canadian soldiers in France:— France, July 2nd, 1916. Dear Mother and Dad:— I am afraid that you did not get my, last letter, 1 just got a letter from cousin, Florence, wondering why I had not written and I wrote both letters at the same time. We were moving then and I left them . with a fellow to post and I guesa he forgot to do so. I will post them myself in the future, We have had some exciting times since I wrote you last, as you have doubtless seen by the papers, but both Joe and I are 0. K. and in the best of health. I got put in the ditch the other day in a rather funny way. I was carry- ing despatches along a road which they were shelling very heavily in places and just before ;. came to a curve in the road a large piece of shrapnel hit the road just in front of me and filled my eyes with sand. I wasn't wearing goggles at the time because I was travelling fast and could watch the road better without them, there being plenty of holes and large stones to say nothing of dead horses to dodge. The sand completely blinded me and I couldn't see to make the curve and before I couldget stopped I hit the ditch and made a beautiful somersault.- It muei have been a funny sight had any one been looking to see me sitting up trying to rub the sand out of my eyes enough to find the machine which was lying in the ditch with the engine racing away like mad. I bad to grin myself when I finally got one eye open. The machine was practically unhurt and I only got a few bruises which I found when the excitement was over, Be- lieve me it's a great life. Joe got partly buried by a shell which knocked some of the parapet on top of him but be was unhurt. The fellows like it better when there is something doing, otherwise it gets rather monotonous. The weather is just fine now, al- though when there are any clouds around the artillery seems to bring the rain down, but it is warm and does not last long. Everything is pretty quiet again and we are having a sort of rest. Well I think that is about all of interest that I can tell at present and I'm very sorry about the other letter if you did not get it. So bye-bye for the present, Your loving son, GEORGE THE PICTURE HOUSE Cleo Ridgley, in a Chorus Lady. A very strong feature. On Wednesday and Thursday evenings. See "Neal of the Navy," a great serial story. Lillian Lorraine, the most beautifully gowned woman in the world will appear. Friday and Saturday evenings. Sold Residence Mrs. F. G.

He had been investigating the two recent barn fires in this section. In the fire which destroyed Mr. Geo. M. Robertson's barn in East Wawanosh, Mr. Bousfield can come to no other conclusion than that the fire was started by a spark from the chimney. In connection with the fire of the barn on Mr. Davidson's farm in Morris, no definite Conclusion could be reached. Mr; Bousfield is doing a good work in looking into the Causes of the different fires in Ontario. The Govern- ment is endeavoring to reduce the fire losses if possible. The Dominion of Canada has the heaviest fire losses of any country in the world and if this heavy loss can be curtailed it Would mean lower fire insurance rates. The British guns have spoken, And Bill may lose his crown, The German line is broken And saur-kraut is down. The gallant French are storming The Huns with iron hail; They've given Fritz a warming. And limburger is stale. The Russ. is westward pushing, Herding the Huns like sheep, Thus ends their big four -flushing, And liverwurst is cheap. King Victor's brave Italians Are driving back pell-mell The Austrian battalions, And weiners will not sell, The Belgians too are holding Their end up with the rest, They hear the Teutons scolding, Bolonga's past its best. Roumanians, and others, Who now are standing pat Will call the allies brothers When lager beer goes flat. WAYFARER.
