SUCCESSFUL ANNIVERSARY Targe congregations were pres- ent in James St. ohurch ,pn Sabbath last to -listen to lar. S. Baran- Nel- son of Hamilton, the occasion being the 57th ennivepsary of the church. Dr, Nelson spoke in the morning on the value of exchange. He oP traced the origin money and, stated money was nothing, just a means of exchange to keep us from going crazy. If the 'money were all burned up we would still have the things we have - now. But without this means of exchangea merchant would need several hundred cost marks to indicate the value of a n article. The theme of his sermon was the giving up of the lesser value t and receiving the more valuable. in return. Men are quiele to make a n '•ion wher the tra saeLi e y think they can benefit by it. The scriptures are full of promises and examples that where the lesser things are given up i greater things are given in return. At the evening service Dr. Nelson delivered a• second sermon that for over an hour held his congregation in rapt attention,. The choirof the church appeared for the first time in their` new sur- plices which adds greatly to the ap- pearance. The music furnished was of a high o±aer..At the- evening ser vice Mrs. Wright sang a solo with i violin obligatopayed by Miss E. I Ford_ - • The Trustee Board of the church asked for special contribution of thousand one "dollars,over nine hundred and fifty of which was promised. On Monday evening Dr. Nelson gave his lecture on "Russia and Us" A large audience, was again present to listen to this entertaining speak- er pearer who. keeps bis audience in good humor and at the same time makes them think. Before commencing the lecture Mrs. `Wright sang an Irish solo and Dr. Nelson was presented with a choice bunch of grapes in appreciation of his services on Sun-, day. . Russia was presented to the and- ience in such a convincing manner as to throw a new light on the sit- uation ituation that prevails in that troubled country at present. Theproceedsof the lecture amounted to $130.00. Miss Terry of London will sing at the evening service of Main St. church next Sunday. CHILDREN'S AID SOCIETY.

Mr. and ,Mrs, John Rowe whe re - candy left Exeter to spend the win- ter in California are •enjoying the beautiful climate and scenery. The following taken from a tetter to relatives here ere will be read with int- erest est by their many friends. Ontario, Calif., Nov, 12,`19 We re a ve c i detc our y letter some time ago and we were certainly glad to hear from you. It was the first let- ter etter we had from home. We were glad to hear that you were all welL We are all fine here now. I was in bed one day with a very bad sore throat and a cold. It is going around here. John is just fine. He has been pull- ing oranges all day to -day. He pul- led 15 bales today and we all went for a little car ride in the bargain. We went down to the cemetery. Say it is a beautiful place. The flowers are beautiful and some of the most beautiful shrubs. The roadsand. walks are all cement. You can't im- agine what it's like. The roads out here are all cement, 'all over the country. I never go ear riding but I think of Harry and wish they were - here here with their car. How he would enjoy running it here. Yesterday we went to Long Beach. It is a beautiful place and we saw the ocean and the tide go out, but we didn't wait until et came in. The lowest tide was at five in the evening. Down on the beach it is all cement streets and all kinds of eating places and stores of all kinds; everything you could mention. We all went on the Jack Rabbits they call them. There are two tracks and two little cars that will hold about eight people. They both leave the place at the same time and go together all the way but on separate tracks. The first place you go up you go very slow, then you go almost straight down, then you go up just as steep a place and you are up that high you can see all over but you haven't much'time to look for they go like Billyo. We laughed until we cried. Then John, Toni, and the girls went through another place but Sade and I didn't go. We had a great day. John enjoyed himself, I think to his heart's content. We had our dinner in the park and it was fun to watch the squirrels. They were so tame they would come and take 'things out of your hand. The park is fine and they say it isn't as nice as it will be in the spring. It is 54 miles from here. ; We went through some beautiful - places. You know the. groves come right to the side of -the road and there' are rose treesand flowers planted right along the sides of the roads here and,there. 0e course they have weedhere, too, just the same kind as we have at home, such as pig -weed and marsh- mallow, he, ha. We passed (and a lot more passed us) thousands of cars and at the beach they were din- ed up on both sides of the streets as far as you could see. We only passed one horse and buggy and John said he thought it as going to the bone - yard. )EXETER 'I: SHORN/3 JURE YOU TRYING' TO t."1',:Th Ii . SUBSCRIBE 7.700).

During the last few weeks the Times has advertised a number of articles for sale and in most cases we have been able to bring buyer and seller together to the mutual advantage of both_ Perhaps you have something you are not in need of and that someone else is looking for. Small advts, of . two or three lines costs only 25c. La the case of auc- tion sale advts. experience has pro- ven that to try to save- two or three dollars by not advertising is false economy. If your advt. attracts the attention of only one or two buyers the extra bidding will more than re- pay you for the small amount we charge. For instance if one bidder that has been attracted to the sale through the advt. in the Times, rai- ses the bid on an animal $5.00 more than if he had not been there, it means that the advt. has not cost you one cent but on the other hand the advt. has made a couple of dol- lars for you. But supposing the bid- ding continues. s. Ever bid increases Every sex the. revenue of the advertiser, the direct result of his advertising. In- stead of spending money when you advertise a sale, you are losing money when you fail to advertise in "The Times." The same is true of the auctioneer. We . have known auction- eers who thought they were saving their customer money by failing to advertise the sale properly. The sale does not turn out as well as it might have. The proprietor is money out of pocket. The auctioneer has hurt himself for it is often the case that a poor sale reflects upon the auc- tioneer. The opposite is also the truth. Where the auctioneer makes a success of the sale he gets a rea- sonable amount of credit. HOCKEY What is going to be doing in the line of hockey for the winter? It is I time now that we were thinking of it. With Exeter and the good towns I around here, with allkinds of good i hockey players in them, we should be able to pick a team that could go . through and easy land . the sil- verware. What is wanted is some good fellow to take hold of it and get the players together. With Cred- .,ton, Zurich, HensaIl and Exeter it should be easy to get a few good fellows who would see that the best team that could be had would be got together and the thing made to pay. Last winter the two Hoffman boys of Zurich played with Seaforth and were easy the two best men on the team, and they didn't get much cre- dit for it either. There are a lot more good men around here if they • could be gotten together. With, a! rink like Exeter has, with a little, more sitting room, and a ilttle bet- ter lighted, a good -hockey team would pay well. We have the largest sheet of ice in Western Ontario and there is no reason why we should not have the best hockey team. If some of the sporting goods of Crediton, Zurich and I-Tensall would take this matter up Exeter would be greatly pleased to have a meet- ing some night in any of these places and see what arrangements could be made. We are sure it would be a great help to the four towns. It would not only develop some star hockey players Via, it would bring us all closer together and as the dis- tance is not far we could easily have a nice little sporting circle in all lines of sport.Exeter wig be only too glad to take her part in the game and if we can get together and make this hockey team a success it will put old South Huron on the map, If she were once on the sporting map she would always be on. All it wants is a start. So lets get to'. gether'and give it a good big start.. Here's hoping that we get together at once and see that this team is put on the ice andgets going Are, you trying to siitnb where chosen are, Where the feet of men ate few a Do you long for "a job that is worth: one's while?"
