The photo slto`vn above was. received after considerable delay, and Immediately a cable was rushr d back to this effect; "A mistake has been made. An official picture is desired. One you sent shows the Prine . without bat or coat and with khaki shirt collar turned in, Charming des- habille, but hardly dignified enough." Then came the answer: "Sorry you dislike it. It's the Prince's favorite picture, taken with the Canadians in France and in every sense official." And that l.; the reason why filo Peo- ple's Prince will appear on tha Cana- dian National Exhibition 1919 medals, hatless, coatless and in the careless attire of the Fighting Man in Prance.

CARS ANI) (ARS I have a large and costly car, up- hoistred in the richest plush; and when I wish to jaunt afar, I ought to get there with a rush. It truly is a gorgeuos boat and should with ease my person haul; the man who sold it sprained his throat explaining how it beats them all.But every time I take it out, it gives me nought but grief and toil, the carburetter has the gout, a cylinder starts. pumping oil. And while in agony I try to find what makes its works complain, the cheap tin cars go whizzing by, their drivers grinning with disdain. My tumbril cost 4,000 bones, and every time I drive she quits; she coughs anti backfires, heaves and groans, and throws a hundred kinds of fits. And always when sfie sheds a sigh, and leaves me stranded far from home the cheap tin cars go whizzing lay ane%'kick up gravel, dust and loam I'm often stalled; it is my • fate to have a car that will not run; and ail the cheap cars in the state whiz by 'and have all kinds of fun. With pat - 'lance I could bear my load, and make some showing too, of glee, if I w re stuckupon the road, Were I ryas no one else to see; but and there t when I feel the motor die, and know I'm stalled for half a day, the cheap'tin cars go whizzing by, so insolently blythe and gayt. . -Walt Mason eosall The death occurred at the home of. her father on Tuesday, July the 29th of Hannah Gertrude Donaldson, 5th daughter of Mr. G. C. Petty In her 26th year. "Gertie" as she was so well known to her many relatives and friends trained as a nurse at Stratford, graduating at 1914 and then bravely volunteered to go as a nurse overseas nearly three years ago She enlisted with an Ontario Mili- tary Hospital and was over a year at Orpington Hospital and nearly an- other year with the Canadian Gener- al Hospital at France. She retired from active duties in November, 1917 and 'was married on the 14th of Dec- ember in 1917 to Lieut J. M. Don- aldson of Brandon, Manitoba, but some little time afterwards was taken very seriously ill through disease contracted from nursing patients and continued to become more seriously ill until she had to be taken to sever- al Sanitariums, the last being in Gra- venhurst, and while there became very anxious to return to her father's home here which she did, accompan- ied by her husband In a special car with a nurse, and although very low made the long trip here a few weeks ago, but since then has been sinking very fast until on Tuesday last she passed away.The deceased was a par ticularly bright and engaging young woman and was a general favorite and her early death in life is indeed, mourned not only by her heart -brok- en parents and many relatives, but. by a host of friends. The funeral on Thursday to the HensalI Union Cem- etery was a private one. The death took place in Hensall of Robert Carlile one of the pioneer residents of the township of Hay, and for the past ten years living retired in our village. The deceased was a native of Ireland, being born in County Down in the year 1832, coin-, ing to this country with his parents in 1849 taking up his residence first on the second concession, of the township of Hay, when the county was litle better than a wilderness. In the year 1856 he was married to Eleanor Carlile of Usborne township settling on the farm adjoining that of his father, remaining there until ten years ago when he retired to his late home in Hensali on Albert St. where his wife predeceased him some seven years ago_ In.religion Mr. Car- lile was a stauncli' Presbyterian, be- ing one of the first members of the old Presbyterian church at Roger- ville, a mile or south of where the present church stands. The deceased leaves a family of five sons and five 'daughters. The son are: Robert J. and Ernest of Indian Head, Sask., William E., of Winnipeg; Alfred E., of Detroit and C. Percival of Toronto The daughters are: Mrs. Andrew Buchanan of Usborne; Mrs. W. A. Thompson and Mrs. G. A. Found of Winnipeg; Mary A., and Anna C., at home, and one sister, Mrs. Crawford, of Kippen. The deceased had attain- ed the good old age of nearly 88 and was a wonderfully active and heal- thy man up until a few months of his illness and death. He was of bright cheerful disposition and was well read and informed on all public matters, and took a great interest in our village and was one of our far- mers after a very active life on the farm that thoroughly enjoyed life in our village. He will be much misseff from the farm community and village where he had resided for so many years. The funeral to the Hensel' Un- ion. Cemetery on Tuesday afternoon was largely atended. The Judges Act recently passed in parliament increases the salary of County Court Judges from $3,000 to $4,000.

A ease which, deserves much thoughtful considoratlea is that of Win. a Barron, 103 Morgan Street,. Bennington. For ten years Ittr. Bar- ron suffered the agonies caused by Rheumatism. At times he was bound hand and foot by the grip of Rheu- matic pains. On the advice of a friend he .stood ter a new trial and used T.R.C.'s. Read what he bas to ear.— "I have been a. sufferer from. Rheu- matism for ten years. Rive been ao bad at times I could not move band or foot for months. A friend advised me to try Templeton's Rheumatic Cap- sules, and I have been thankful ever singe. They worked wonders for me, and I have never felt any return of the disease" Tt's practically impossible to obtain evidence stronger than this testi- monial, and a word to the wise is always sufficient.

NOT PROFITEERS Speaking in Parliament the other day regarding'the investigation into the causes of high prices of the nec- essaries of life made by a committee of which he was a member, Mr Don - Sutherland took occasion to defend the farmers of the country from the aspersion of being profiteers. He said: "One of the first things that the committee undertook to ascertain was the cost of rood supplies in this country, and with a view to doing that, we brought berfore the commit- tee those who might be supposed to be informed with regard to that mat- ter. It was settled conclusively that there is no class of people in this country to day who are working for a smaller wage than the farmers of Canada. That was clearly established by expert evidence."
