In loving memory of Earl Johns

Sept. 12th. 1917.
There's a hallowed spot in Flanders

As life's journey we pursue,
Recalling sweetest memory
And dearest thoughts of you.

THE MAN WHO WINS
The man who wins is an average man
Not 12uilt on any particular plan,
Not blest with any peculiar luck;
Just steady earnest and full of pluck
When asked a question he does not
"guess"—
He KNOWS and answers "no" or
"yes."
When set to a task the rest can't do
He buckles down till he puts it thru.
Three things he's learned; that the
man. who tries
Finds favor in his employees eyes;
That it pays to know more than one
thing well;
That it doesn't pay, all you know to
tell.
So he works and waits; till one fine
day
There's a better job with bigger pay
And the men" who shirked whenever
they could
Are bossed by the man whose work
made good.
For the man who wins is the man
who works.
Who neither trouble nor labor shirks
Who uses his hands, his head, his
eyes,
The man who wins is the man who
tries.
WEINER ROAST.
A number of boys from the Exeter
H. S. held a successful wener roast
on the bank of the river last Friday
evening. A are was kindled, in the
hollow on the river bank. Kettles
were swung for the boiling of corn
and making coffee while weners
frizzled over a smaller fire for the
purpose. Songs and stories filled the
air and a real good time was enjoyed

A number of young men appear-
ed before Magistrates Jos. Hawkins

turbance on Main St. late one Sat-
urday evening and during the early
hours of the Sabbath. Several plead-
ed guilty and paid the fine, two were
allowed off and three will appear a-
gain this Friday evening.
RUNAWAY BREAKS
TELEPHONE POLE.
A team of horses belonging to Mr.
John Colwill of Hay ran away and
collided with a telephone pole,break-
ing the pble, and part of the wagon
and harness. The team was left
standing untied at Exeter North when
they took fright at an auto and start-
ed off. The team tried to straddle
the telephone pole and the tongue of
the wagon struck it with such im-
pact as to break it. The horses were
unhurt.
ANNIVERSARY A SUCCESS
The anniversary services of Tri -
vitt Memorial church were held on
Sabbath last when many of the old
Mr. Foote will also preach in Beth- friends of Rev_ D. W. Collins, former

BROKE SHOULDER BONE tances. ]lir. Collins is stationed at
Windsor_ Communion services were
On Saturday last, after Mr. Rich-
ard Davis had just left the gravel
pit with a load of gravel, in some
unfortunate way the seat of his wag-
on broke causing him to have quite
a nasty fall. Mr. Davis fell backward
He broke his shoulder blade bone,
cut the back of his head and was
badly shaken up. It is feared it will
be some time before he will be able
to be around again.
FIRE DESTROYS FARM HOME
The. fine brick home of Mr. John
Blackwell of the 3rd concession of
Biddulph was destroyed by fire on
Tuesday evening together with most
of the contents. The fire started in
the summer kitchen about 11 o'clock
at night after the occupants had re-
tired. Mr. Blackwell was aroused
by the smell of smoke; Neighbors
were called by phone and were soon
on the • scene. A couple of auto loads
from Exeter. returning from London
were among the first on the scene
acrd succeeded in taking out the piano
phonograph and some of the parlor
and bedroom furniture which was
badly scorched by the heat. The rest
was all destroyed. The loss was part-
ly
artly covered by insurance but the loss
to Mr. Blackwell will be heavy.
BUSINESS TRANSFER
held in the morning. Large congre-
gations were present at both the
morning and evening service. The
choir rendered some excellent music
for the occasion. The Contributions
for the day were most gratifyiug
to the management. Master Paul
Collins accompanied his father.

vice and Evangelism of the Metho-
dist church in connection with the
coming referendum on Temperance.

up the party.
NEW VICTORY LOAN CAMPAIGN
An Ottawa despatch: An official
announcement is expected in the
course of a few days as to the new
victory loan. In the budget debate
Sir Thomas White intimated that
Mr. E. A. Follick has disposed of the amount would be $350,000,000

ness to Mr. A. Moore who has 'been 000hat will be nominally -$,000;
conducting a similar line of business with a real objective of0of. $4'20,
in the store on the corner of John 000,000.
and Main St. recently purchased by The loan campaign will be put on
Mr. Thos. Harvey. Mr. Moore will fora period of three ovelcs probably
take possession about the 1st of Oct from Oct. 27th to tiNovember 17th.
Ober but before entering will have
several alterations made to the
building. Mr. Follick has been in
business in Exeter for the past 30
years being among the oldest busi-
nessnien in town. While Mr. Foliiek
has not taken an active part in Mune
icipal affairs, few have followed with
keener interest the welfare of the
town. He is of a quiet retiring dis-
position, yet by his industry, hones-
ty and integrity he has won the ad-
miration of all who know him. In an
unpretentious manner he has been a
warm friend to the needy and in his
retirement from business many will
miss him. Be has not get decided
what he will do but we hope that 40 cents. Reserved treats 60 rents.

The bonds will bear interest at Via
per cent and be of the currency of
five and 15 years, but the issue price
still admits of some uncertainty.
While par is hoped for the fact that
the new bonds are taxable may poss-
ibly be an influence calling for a
price a bit below that figura,

LITTLE LAD DIES,
Following injuries on Friday of
last week Master Joseph ;Phiueas
Hunter youngest son of Mr. and Mrs.
Geo. Hunter of Usborne who on Aug-
ust 19th was kicked in the face by a
colt succumbed to the injuries at IDe.
Hyndman's hospital. After two necks
of hard nursing and tender care the
little spirit, which for several days
hung by a slender thread, took its
flight. At the time of the accident
the lad and his older brother were in
a box -stall with a young colt to
which they were much attached, The
deceased was kicked fairly in the
face receiving the greater impact of
the blow on the forehead. He wan re-
moved to Dr. IIHrndman's hospital
and for over two weeks many anxi-
ous friends were solicitious of his
welfare but it became evident that
his chances of recovery were only
slight. He was the youngest of three
children, a brother and sister sur-
viving. The funeral was held on ttat-
urday afternoon from the home of
his parents, 4th con, of Usborne. The
sympathy for the parents was mani-
fest by the large number who attend-
ed to pay their last respects. Inter-
ment was held in the Exeter cemet-
ery.
PROVINCIAL RED CROSS
A meeting of the Red Cross Societ-
ies of Ontario was held in Toronto
Sept 3rcl, In spite of the fact that
Ontario is the centre of the Caned -
fan Red Cross Society, the Province
had never been officially represented
at Council meetings. The need was
felt to be absolutely necessary as the
Red Cross Work has now a new out-
look, special efforts should be made
along the lines of health.
Mrs. Piumpter emphasized :ht:
fact that the wounded mart. (timet lea -
the first interest and care of the Red
Cross. Because the British North
America Act gives each province con-
trol of its own health Iaws, it follows
that these laws are different in each
province. In organizing the work fur
Peace there must be no competition
but rather co-operation. Infant life
to make Canada safe for infancy will
be ones of its care.
Provision should also be made or
emergencies, such as the disaster .at
Halifax, the influenza epidemic; Miss
M. Power of the Provincial Board of
Health pointed to the example of
New Zealand where they have reduce
ed their infant death rate to .,(= in
1000 or about half what we are ' nt-
fering in Ontario. Because the Heti
Cross belongs to all people it will he
most fitted to combine the work of
all agencies.
A resolution was moved by Colonel
Ponton of Belleville and seconded by
Mrs. Dunstan that we form a Prov-
incial branch, which was unanimous-
ly carried.
