Remarkable Second ,Growth,
We had something of a vegetable
curiosity brought to the Sentinel Office
;this week, in the shape of a leaf of
oats barley and flax, all a second -
growth of the season. The cats and
barley is out in head and the seed pods
are on the flax and well filled. The
grain developed on the farm of Jacob
Miller, 2nd con. of Kinloss. A consider-
able second -growth of such grains is
not uncommon, but it rarely reaches
the stage of developing heads. The
explanation of this freak, of course, is
the remarkably mild weather of the
past two months,—Lucknow Sentinel
eceives Letter from Brother.
Mr. C. H. Copeland of this town, re-
ceived a letter from his brother, Ermin,
who is at present in England with the
first Canadian contingent. The letter
was written on board the steamer
Laurentic on October 14th. He writes:
—"We expect to land at Southampton
to -morrow morning. The long voyage
of twenty-one days was entirely unevent-
ful and we crossed without any attempt
on the poet of the Germans to molest
us. We were strongly guarded by six
cruisers and three battleships. We
travelled slow on account of the trans-
ports, carrying freight and horses, not
being able to go as fast as the passenger
boats."i
Speaking of Hospitals.
The Goderich Star last week, speak-
ing of hospitals, says: "The benefits
of these local hospitals are now gener-
ally admitted even by those who form-
ally doubted them, and where, as is in.
evitably the case, the revenue will not
meet the expenditure, the hospitals are
worthy the help and encouragement of
of the citizens generally. Those who
have not required the care of the hos-
pitals cannot fully appreciate how valu-
able an addition they are to the worth
and welfare of the community as a
whole. Sickness comes to every home
some time or other, and the aid of a
good home hospital is a welcome relief
to both the afflicted one and those in
the home who would otherwise have
the burden of their care."
Runaway Accident.
What:might:have proved a serious
accident happened on Friday afternoon
when a team, belonging to Mr, For-
tune, of Turnberry, became frightened
while standing in the Baptist Church
sheds and dashed down Edward street
towards Victoria street. They had not
run far, however, before the team
came in collision with a cow, belonging
to Mr. Roderus, which was knocked
down and badly cut and bruised. For-
tunately at this point one of the horses
fell, while the men, working at the
sewer only a few rods away, rushed for-
ward and caught the other horse by the
head. Had the team travelled only a
few rods farther they would, in all
probability, have ran into the open
sewer at the corner and serious results
followed.

The Liberal -Conservative Association

Death of John %Hick.
There passed away at his home in
Teeswater on Sunday last, a former
well-known resident of Lower •Wing -
ham in the person of Mr. John Sillick.

teemed by a large circle of friends.

Clothing for the Belgians
At a meeting of the Executive of the
Ladies' Patriotic Society, held on Mon-
day, the 19 inst., it was decided to pro-
cure and send clothing to the Belgians.
Those in town and country who can do
so, are asked to send woolen clothing to
the Council Chamber on Friday and
Saturday, October 30th and 31st. It is
especially requested that the clothing
be for winter wear and that all second
hand garments be clean and in goad re-
pair.
Support Home Merchants
The man who buys his goods in his
home town has the satisfaction of
knowing that his position is sound
and sane from ever point of view. He
may occasionally pay more for an art-
icle than it would cost him outside, but
in the longrun he is the district gainer.
Every local transaction enhances the
value of his own property and gives to
local industry an impetus that is bene-
ficial to the whole community.- Burk's

All the potatoes and apples were care-
fully packed in barrels so as to insnre

to Montreal on Saturday, from which
„point it will be shipped to England as

Delivered Good Addresz
A fairly attended meeting, under the
auspices of the Liberal -Conservative
Association, was held in the Town Hail
on Friday evening when the Hon. Arthur
Meihgari, Solicitor -General of Canada.
gave a splendid address on "The present
War." Mr. Peter Scott occupied the

dy A. H. Musgrove, M. P. P. and James
Bowman, M. P. for East Huron, who
introduced the speaker of the evening.
Mr. Meighan gave a vivid description of
the German aggresaiveness from the
founding of the Prussian Empire down
to the present time and showed con-
clusively the cause of the great war at
present being waged in France and
Belgium. Mr. Meighan isa very pleasing
speaker, handled the subject with the
thoroughness of a scholar. It is to be
regretted that many, who would have
otherwise been present, did not know
the nature of the meeticg.
Those Observatton Towers.
As many enquiries have been made
as to the object of the towers on the
7th con, of Morris, the following in-
formation has been received: — For
scientific purposes the Department of
the Interior has erected a ntimber of
these towers throughout the province.
The towers in reality consist of two
tripods, one inside the other. The
inner one is sixty feet high and on the
top of it is a small platform on which
the observer's instruments rest. The
other tripod, 66 feet high, is topped by
a platform supporting a high ct.i.dle-
power acetylene lamp. A little lower
down is a platform for the observer
Between the two tripods there is no
connection. On the ground directly
under the platform on which the ob-
server's instruments rests is is cement
pillar four feet under ground and as
many above, which is supposed to re-
main for all time. It will have an in-
scription placed by the engineer in
charge so that the exact point where
the tower stood can easily be ascertain-
ed if desired, after the tower has dis-
appeared. These towers are being
erected all over the province at distances
of from twenty to one hundred miles,
and are according to the nature of the
ground froni thirty-five to a hundred
and sixty-six feet high. The ground
required for each tower is one hundred
and fifty feet square which is rented for
a period of ten years and at the expir-
ation of that time the tripods go to the
owner of the land. The observations
are made at night, the observer with
his instrutnents being located on one
tower and his light keepers on the three
or four other towers nearest him
