MISS MARY BALKWILL PASSES There passed away In London on Friday of last week one of Exeter's most highly respected residents in the person of Miss Mary Balkwill aged 60 years. Theedeceased bad been ailing for several months. Miss Balkwill was born and raised in Exeter spending nearly all of her life in town. She possessed a beautiful character and was esteerned by all who knew her. The funeral, private, was held on Sun- day from the horde of her cousin, Mr. I. R. Carling, interment in Ex- eter Cemetery. DIED OF PNEUMONIA ances are graded as follows: First child, brother or sister, $12 a month; second , $1.0 a month; third, subsequent children, brothers or sis- ters $8 a month each. First orphan child, $24 a month; se- cond, $20 a month; third, and subse- quent orphan children, $16 a month each. All children of disabled soldier pen- sioners are similarly increased on a sliding scale in proportion to the dis- ability of the pensioner. Thus a man drawing a total disability pension re- ceives additional allowances for his children on the same scale as is al- lowed for the children of dependents receiving pension; in the case of a man drawing an 80 percent of the a- mounts given above. The announcement is expected. within a few days of a 20 per cent increase in the pensions of dependents of soldiers who have died or been killed while on active service. This will bring the pension for a soldier's widow or dependent parents to $48 a month, with additional alloivances for children according to the scale already outlined. A soldiers' widow with three children, therefore, will re- ceive, when the expected increase goes into effect. $78 per month. Mr. T. 0.
