JUVENILi CRIME.
Some of the latest statistics afford-
ed by the records of our Canadian
punitive fustitutions illustrate crime in
a very startling manner. The Provin-

the following figures for 1919-20:-

TRE LATE JOHN JA1 )TT,
Another of the few remaining of
a generation passed away in Exeter
on the 29th ult., in the person of
Mr, John Jarrott, formerly of Hay
and Stanley Townships, at the ma -
tune age of 82 years. Born in the
township of Vaughn in 1839 he
came with his -parents to 'Huron
County and settled in Stanley town-
ship. As. a bay he beheld. Huron's
prjtneval forest and the rudiments of
a country which by industry was to
become a beautiful land of harvests
and happy houses. To the youth of
that day fell the task of transform-
ing the wilderness. His was the great
achievement to remove the forest
and create the modern, homestead.
The stalwart young woodsmen of
slaty years ago. now so rapidly pass-
ing, are deserving of the highest
tributes. They were the architects of
physical destiny, the 'builders of the
century, and reared the foundations'
of a nation„ We are standing today
on the service and sacrifice of :Vr
Tarrott's strong and noble genera-
tion which honored honest labor,
which enthroned simplicity above
luxury, law above anarchy, devotion
above greed, and faith above blas-
phemy. In 3 85 8 Mr. Jarrott was
married to Miss Nancy Jamieson,
daughtgir of 14Ir. and Mrs, John
Jamieson 'of Stanley, and for sixty-
two years they shares each others
devotion. For many years they re-
sided in Stanley township and later
In Hay township, and finally retired
in Exeter. During the last two years
Mr. Jarrott has been a patient and
uncomplaining sufferer abiding the
Master's call, and passed sweetly to
his reward.
The funeral. took place on Sunday
from his late residence in Exeter to
Exeter cemetery. The services were
conducted by Rev. Mr. Lundy of
I 1ppen, at the house, and at the
graveside. hir. Jarrott is survived
by a devoted wife, three sons and.
Jive daughters: James and William
of Hills Green, and Norman of To-
ronto; Mrs. John Cochrane, of Hills
Green, Mrs. King, and Mrs. Jones,
of Monore, Washington Territory,
and Mrs. Edward Jones of London,
Ont.
ODDFELLOWS AT CHURCH.
Ove'- one hundred members of Ex-
eter Lodge No. 67, L 0. 0. F., and
visiting brethren from Hen salt and
other places attended divine• service
in \fain Street Methodist. Church, on
Sunday evening, and heard a very ap-
propriate ;sermon, by Rev, W. G, H.
McAIister. They were marshalled by
Past Grand Taman. On their return
to the, lodge the usual vote of thanks
was 'tendered to the officials of the
church, the choir and the minister, to
which Bro. McAlister replied. A num-
ber of the visiting brethren gave short
+addresses.
Before commencing his sermon Rev
McAlister welcomed the brethren to
the service. Oddfellourship, he said,
was a by-product of Christianity, as
all such Orders ;are, and it is only
through Christianity that these Orders
live. II wall speak, he continued, on
the two characters frequently nnen-
tioned an your work—Jonathan and
David. 'The 'text is from II. Samuel,
1-26, "Thy love ,to ;me was one pass-
ing the love of women'. The lives
of these men fell on troublesome times
—we cannot understand the mien un-
less we understand the times in which
they lived. Mr, McAlister gave • a
sketch of those' days, when there was
almost constant warfare with some-
times victory and sometimes defeat:
Saul was a kingly man in every way
except that he failed to follow the ad -
mice of God's prophet Samuel and be-
came untruthful and a hyprocrit. Thus
st ,became necessary to choose a suc-
cessor to Saul, and Samuel sought
out David from among the sons cf
Jesse. The preacher,described David
in appearance, gave a description of
his coming to' the court of Saul, cf
his defeating the great Gol'ath, and
arousing the jealousy of the Ding.
Then" followed 'the beautiful friend-
ship that grew up between Jonathan
and David, by which the former had
everything to lose in a worldly sense.
But Jonathan had the high qualities
of courage and faith, and waived lila
'eget to the throne in favor . of his
f_eend whom he regarded as greater
than himself, thus standing aside .in
'truer humility of soul,, willing to ,take
the lower place. How different .had
Jonathan been elfish ! Is your
fr.endsts•'Odd e11c s unselfish and
true as this friendshop? If the lodge
does not mean thrs, what does it
mean—an aggregratioun of the selfish?
It peas a wonderful friendship. &ro,
forth to the work •of ycur lodge and
1 ve up i the ianteror tat°on of this
triendsliip, and may Heaven's blessing
go with you.

OUTLOOK. FOR. LIGHT• CORP.
The outlook for the year 1921 seems
at present to be a light eroo of ap
res in this district; early or harvest
varieties very light; some fall variet-
'e:, such as Ribston. and fall p raoins
fain Macintosh promises a medium
bloom, but ..n winter apples the buds
are very scarce, except on On;ta*o"
and probably spy, which are not kat.
far enough, advanced to make an esti-
mate. .Cliezres, plums and pears
promise an average bloom, and no
damage caused by the cold weather,
On the average farm orchard, after a
.full crop such os 1920 an almost bar-
ren 'year follows'. Last season every
old tree, whelther cared for or not,.
was over -loaded with fruit, and owing
to this fact being general there was a
large waste.

destroyed the.shop and T. Murdock's
livery barn, and the wood shop of Co-
lin Hudson. The buildings were of
frame structure owner
't •tuTe and by
Mr,
:Murdock. The horses were saved, as
was also the residence of Mr. Mur-
dock, which is close to the livery barn,
but ,several carriages were destroyed.
The int:lamable nature of the build•'ngs
and contents made the blaze a spec-
ea•cuiar one and many were presenit
from ,neighboring` 'towns and villages.
The loss is partly covered by insur--'
ance.
