Nearly all the lights have been placed in position in the Sarnia tunnel and the big bore is now lighted by electricity throughout. "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs." Nothing odd about the statement and probably untrue, but nevertheless it contains all the letters of the alphabet, which few sen- tences of that length do. The Huron County Branch of the Ontario Prohibitory Alliance is regis- tering a complain about the sale of liquor in the military camps, and asks every respectable young than to refuse to enlist until the oRicers enforce the law prohibiting the sale of liquor. The Exeter bowlers who were in London last week without an excep- tion are loud in their praise of the grand old game and although they did not do any winning they are well satisfied and are wishing the tourna- ments carne more frequently than once a year. It takes a sharp knock to break an egg from the outside, while a week little chick with its soft bill can break it from the inside. It is the same way with a town. The knocks from the outside have little effect; it is the blows at home that hurt. If you are an in- side knocker, take the hint and move out. You're not needed here. A school girl was required to write an essay of 250 words about an auto- mobile. She submitted the following: "My uncle bought an automobile. Ile was riding in the country when it busted going up hill. I guess this is about fifty words. The other two hundred are what my uncle said when he was walking back to town, but they are not fit for publication. An eminent legal authority states as follows: "Persons operating engines and machinery of any weight. must lay down planks of sufficient width and thickness to fully Tirotect the floor- ing of all bridges and culverts crossed; and that for engines of 8 tons or over, the owners must strengthen at their own expense all bridges and culverts crossed by them and keep the same in repair so long as the highway is used, the cost to be borne by the owners of the different engines an proportion to the number of engines run over the bridges or culverts." The G. T. K. management is reduc- ing expenses in every possible way, one of the latest being an order to the section foremen that they are to dis- pense with the cutting of weeds along their heats. This job keeps the aver- age foreman and his assistants busy for a week or ten days and the Com- pany have figured out on reducing the expenditure to that extent. As it so happened a few of the foremen had partially finished the work before the new order reached them, but others bad not yet started. The farmers along the line are likely to be heard from.—Clinton News -Record.

Elbert Hubbard isn't the best au- thority in the world on all subjects, but he is unquestionably correct in pronouncing against the use of cigar- ettes, especially by the young. In a late number of the Philistine he says: " As a close observer and employer of labor for over twenty -flue years, i give you this: Never advance the pay of a cigarette smoker ; never promote hits; never trust hits to earry a roll to Garcia, unless you do trot care for Garcia and are willing to lose the roll. Cigaretts smoking begins with aneffort to he smart. It sooner becomes a pleas. tit e, a satisfaction, and serves to to idge over a moment of nervousness or em- barrassment. Next it becomes a neces- sity of life, a fixed habit. This last stage soon evolves into a third condi- tion, a stage of fever and unrestful, wandering mind, accompanied by loss of moral and mental control." Nicks' Forecast+ For August. A Reactionary Storrs) Period is ren• tral on he Sth and Oth, the Moon be- ing at greatest south declination on the f►th. A reaction to atom condi- tions will snake itself felt on these dates in failing barometer, rising tem- perature, cloudiness and possible rains. Under the Venus influence threatening weather will most likely be prolonged over the 10th and lltb, emerging into the storm period follow- ing. Fall Moon near perigee falls on the 11th, which facts promise not only to bridge the time between the two storm perinsls, but to increase seismic probabilities on or within three to four days of the 11th. A regular storm period begins on the 1'lth. ex• tending to the 1Rtb. it is central on the 14th, with Moon on the celestial equator on the 13th. The storni dia- gram for August shows that Earth's Autumnal equinox will also be a fac- tor in storm and other disturbances at this period. Low barometer and threatening forceful storm• are to be ant kip tied during this period. Nest India storms are not improbable. and those who live along exposed southern coasts should interest themselves in All storm indications at this and all subsequent August periods. As above stated. marked storm conditions may prevail over the llth. tint the period wall rnlntinate on and tourhing F'ri• day, Sat miler and Sunday, the Itth, 15th end lath. Six tennis players frotn Parkhill are expected here Friday to play a game with the Exeter boys. Mr. Wm. Bawden has purchased the 100 acre farm, being lot 25, con. 2, Stanley Tp., from Mr. (leo. Stanbury, paying therefor $3,110. There are no building on the land. The storekeeper who does not adver- tise and who does not systematize his business might as well put up his shut- ters. Judicious advertising means fi- nancial success. Never in the history of the commercial world has advertis- ing occupied so dominant a place as it does today, The heavy rain of Tuesday after- noon and night was very welcome, al- though but little damage had been done by the dry weather of two weeks duration. Plant life was just begin- ning to show the need of rain. The oat crop in places would receive a good drenching, but would not be material- ly damaged. A few good-sized hail stones fell in town. Alonday, Civic Holiday, was a quiet one in town, a good many of the citi- zens taking advantage of the single fare and the special night train to go to London to attend the old boys Re - Union. About 200 tickets were issued from this station. The day was fairly well spent by Most of those who went to the city although many complaints were heard that the show for which they had to pay fell sadly short of what they had been led to expect, and that it was nothing short of an im- position on the public. Mrs. Bobier with her daughter-in- law, Mrs. S. Bobier and two children, had a very unpleasant experience Thursday evening. They were driv- ing on the London Road North when the horse becoming frightened of a pig made a quick jump to one side with the result that horse, rig and occupants rolled ovzr into the ditch. The children were unhurt but the ladies were considerably bruised. They were soon up and with the assist- ance of some men near by righted matters. The top of the buggy was much damaged. Messrs. Ed. Treble, Geo. Anderson, and Cliff. Spackman are enjoying the quoit tournament in London this week.

How to Make Money. All shrewd newspaper readers, espe- cially the ladies, readily acknowledge that the real news that affects the pocket is found in the advertisements of local merchants. The merchant who advertises is e► reporter. He re- ports to the newspapers what he has to offer and it is real news. If some merchant is making a run on shoes and selling them, that is news to any one who needs shoes. If another Is offering special bargains in overcoats, underwear, corsets, bats, dress goods, carpets, furniture, groceries, coal or wood, stoves or anything that the family needs, why It is news that means money to every family and the people know it. That's why mer chants advertise in newspapers. A "Let -Go" Sale Got 'em again. Another Bankrupt Stock of Groceries bought by Auction in block at London for fifty-one cents on the dollar.
