County of ifuron and Hay Tp. is given; all of them except the county grant. is from 'towns and villages. The ques- tion is asked what is Usborne and other townships doing? Usborne iy probably !living more closely to the Divine direction. "When thou doest thine alms, let not thy left hand 'know what thy right '.Land daeth." than some other places. This year Usborne has given $800.00 to Belgian (Relief, $75.00 per month to the Iliad Cross +societies of 'the Township and gave each of the Usborne. boys that have enlisted a $5.00 gold coin as ap- preciation of their course and has willing assented to her share of the county grant which will be over 1200.00. Much more has been done by personal 'contributors. Some of which are credited to other places. Much more could be done by a personal can ivas. • but it is quite a task to reach a population very little larger than that of Exeter but scattered over en area 'of 43,000 acres, instead of 1200 acres. We have good reason to balatv,' that the municipalty grants voted by any council will be propartiona1ly funded by the 'county, but if it istnot the towns and villages .considering their population and the share of county grant they pay and that they I largely absorb the, weathy retired farriers. from the surrounding town- ' ships; s`iou,ld be Calow to find fault, The Red Cross work 'deserves all et can do far it, a,nd.

M'y impressions - of England was that it was very thickly populated and that everybody here was enjoy- ing that evening at any rate. 'We ;were cheered by boatload after boatload of people and 'they were not small boats either. It seems that they had received news that we had been sunk by a German Submarine, but we did. not - feel inclined to think of any such thing. Cheriton is only a very small place one mile from Folkstone which is on the English Channel, I think, 4t any rate it is on the water, so that we can have a pleasant tune bathing every evening. , , t e The houses vary so mu.a•h, in wise and shape that I 'could not attempt to describe these in a letter, but on the whole they look very Pretty,, especially those covered with ivy.
