R. 11. Parnaby, to return again for another year. His salary was increased from ,+11100 to $1350 for the coming year and also made retroat- tive to include the present year.

Medd has taken over the management of the Winchelsea and Ex- eter creameries and will conduct the business of both making his hone in Exeter. He has purchased the hand- some brick residence of Mr. H. Rowe on Andrew street and will move to town in the near future. The price paid was $3,500, Mr. F. Bruce Medd, who has been conducting the creamery business in town will move back to a farm near Clinton. During their stay here they made many friends who will regret their departure. Mr. and Mrs. Medd and family who are well known will receive a hearty welcome from the citizens of Exeter. BLYTH HOTEL MAN SENT TO COUNTY JAIL. William Mason, proprietor of the Queen's Hotel at Blyth whose premis- es were raided on Saturday, Feb_ 22nd, when whiskey was found concealed in two different apartments, was brought before Magistrate Reid, of Goderich, on Thursday, and after evidence had been produced he was found guilty, sentence being reserved until last Sat- urday afternoon, when he was commit- ted to the county jail at Goderich for twenty-four days with hard labor. The temperance workers in Huron are right after the whiskey sellers, as this makes the third offender in the county to re-\ ceive a jail term within the past few l months. REV. J. W.

The concert given in the Opera House last Friday evening under the auspices of the Ladies Aid of Main St. church, was a decided success and the ladies deserve credit for the able man- ner in which each took her part, and al- so Mr. B. W. F. Beavers, he being the, only man taking part, and his debut a- mong the ladies, as was expressed by theism, was a decided success at their "Pink Tea." "The Parliament of Ser- vants" was also very ably handled by seven other ladies, and provoked a great deal of laughter from the audien- ce. The only outside talent was Mrs. Maybelle Templin of Kincardine, whose solos were exceptionally well rendered, she having a wonderful range, taking her high notes as clear as a bell. As this was her first appearance before an Exeter audience, she will be gladly wel- comed back again. Mr. Case Howard also gave two very fine instrumental solos, which were nmch appreciated. The musicians for the evening were, Miss Medd and Mr. Case Howard, and their duels were very pleasing. The 1 adies Aid wish to thank Mr. Gardiner for his generosity in giving them the 'tse of the Opera House, also Mr. Wil- r`er Martin for use of piano and Dr. and Mrs. Medd for securing the services of their neice Mrs. Templin, The Ladies are being urged to put the entertain- ment on again in the 'tear future..

He explained that the meeting had been called to secure the feeling of the farmers as to the advisability of placing candidates in the field to contest the riding at the coning election for both houses. Ile said that there seemed to be a feel- ing that farmers are working against the interests of the local towns and vil- lages which is a mistake as the fanner could not get along without these marketing centres any more than the centres could dowithout the farmer. The aims of the clubs are to bring the retailer to a little better working basis; to eliminate the extravagant way of purchasing through wholesalers and travellers; the ideabeing to bring pro- ducer and consumer together. He said the farmers pay double for what they buy and get about half for what they produce. He believed conditions could be bettered through legislation. He said the farmrs have been voting party and splitting votes. The big in- terests vote in their own interests and ingCLass . Mr. de J. tG.

No arrangement had been made for speakers for the afternoon it being thought the honest conviction of the members could best be secured by a 'CLINTON BEATS EXETER 13-3. The Exeter hockey team got a bad trimming on Wednesday night of last week by the Clinton O. H. A. team, the score being 13 to 3. The Clinton team had it all over our boys in every way. Onlyin the first period did Exeter show any hockey and that ended for Clinton 3-3. From then on it was all Clinton and if it had not been for Harness in the nets for Exeter and the defence of A. Pickard and Stock, it would have needed an adding machine to keep the score. These three played a good game. Stock was easy the best man on the ice but Clinton watched hien pretty close. A. Pickard played a good game but left the defence open a little too much. ' Our forward line 'after the first twenty minutes were of very little use to the team. They could not carry the puck and forgot there was such a thing as back checking. Once the Clin- ton team got away there was nothing but our defence to stop them and it is hard for two men to stop three or four together, but they never gave up and worked hard all the time. There was some very heavy body checking throughout the game and our defence had to use their body to stop the big Clinton men. Ingranm and Graham were put out of athe game for a short time from heavy checks but gamely came back. Exeter was forced to use their subs the greater ,part of the game and it was well that they had theism. Clin- ton has a big team. They have been in the O.H.A. and have been playing together all winter in the same group as Seaforth. Although they lost in the group they were second in the stand- ing and that speaks well for them as Seaforth won and is still winning, We believe with some practice that Exeter will put up a better game next time. If some of the fans that "ball out" the players would turn out to practice and help instead of knocking, we would have a better team. The man who works for a job is the man who gets it and the man who turns out to practice is the man who plays in the games. For the game Exeter was beaten and beaten fair. The line-up for Exeter was:goal, C. Harness; 1. defence, A. Pickard; n. defence, Stock; centre, Senior; r, wing, C. Pickard; I. wing, Ingram; subs. Treble and Heywood. Referee— A. Mitchell, Clinton. WHY NOT INFORCE THE LAW? It is a matter of doubt if parents realize that there is on the statute books of Ontario a law which pro- vides for the fining of parents who allow their children under sixteen years Mr. R. T. Luker spoke of his exper- ience with the Grain Growers of the West. The first thing they did in Manitoba was to cut out politics and work in the interest of fellow -farmers. Some have the idea that they should get immediate benefit from their mem- bership but it was ten years in the west before they started to reap a benefit. The first thing started in a big way was the grading of Western wheat which is now bought and sold on its merits. He said the Western farmers were not against the merchants but with the merchants and that it worked out to mutual advantage. His remarks were heartily applauded, W. D. SANDERS Mr. W. D. Sanders, U. F. O. director for Huron County, outlined the policy of the farmer_ While one object in the organization was uniting the farmers the great object is to unite the com- mon place interests against those who sit in high places. The war has ended and Ieft a tremendous debt hanging over the people. The way things are shaping at present the common place interests will pay very dollar of the debt. He cited an instance stating that an express company had appeared before the Railway 'Commission asking for an increase in rates. They showed the Commission a deficit of $47,000. A deputation waited on the Commiss- ion and not being satisfied made fur- ther investigation and found that two interests were being charged up one against the other, and instead of a de- ficit there was a profit of 5137,000. Had the raise of rates gone into effect every man would have to contribute towards it. Such things as these are rousings the interests of farmers. Any man that says anything against the farmers' movement was cutting his own throat said Mr. Sanders. The speaker said that_.the agricultur- al interests are nearly double that of any other yet their representation in parliament was only 13. Professional risen could not represent the farmer. Could any farmer in the house say he ever made a dollar out of politics. The time had cone for them to stand solid. The common place people only could bring Canada up to a place worth living in. The big interests are manipulating to keep the common people hewers of wood and drawers of water. Forty-five per cent of the money being collected goes into the hands of officers before the balance is properly spent. He said there were too many officers, too many laws and too many men getting some thing for nothing. The county coun- cil is conducted after the same manner as the provincial parliament Ten per cent of the money collected for good roads is expended in adminijtration said the speaker. W. R.
