Soldier's Steady Nerve
The calm and brave philosophy of a
soldier and patriot is conveyed in this
paragraph from a letter of Sergeant
S. E. Eastlake to his father, 0, H.
Eastlake of Ridgetown:
"Whatever you do, don't worry
about me. If there is a shell for me
I will get it and that's all there is to
it. You must realize that a chap
over here is not only the son of his
father and mother but a son of the
nation, and it is going to cost more
lives to lick the Germans than most
people think."
Mr. Eastlake was teller in the Trad-
ers Bank at Kincardine a few years
ago, and is remembered by .several
Wingham citizens.
Beekeepers' Field Day.
Next to doing a thing yourself, the'
best way to learn it is see it done. It
is one thing to sit in some convention
room and hear a man tell how he
manages his bees; it is far better to
go with him into the apiary and have
him show you, That is what you will
have a chance to do at the apiary of

All "Showers" Except Rain Are Wel-
comed by the Bride.
Bridal showers are now planned with
wuch originality. While more or less
collaboration is necessary in order that
there may be no duplicate contributions
to the,shower and that alt gifts may
be suited to the occasion, the actual
manner of presentation is a matter
which the hostess 6fteu prefers to keep
secret. In order that there niay be
ample time for carrying out whatever
arrangement the hostess has decided
upon all gifts intended for the shover
should be delivered at the Home of the
hostess at least two days In advance
of the fostri'ity.
A. tea table shower is a little out of
the ordinary and serves as a moons of
providing the prospective bride with
many small details for the amete:noon
tea service. At a shower of this ktntr
recently given the articles were all
used for the entertainment of the parts
and toasts` were drunk in tea to the
beide. Gifts included a handsome tea
cloth, 5 o'clock teakettle, .a lemon
dish and fork, a wicker framed cake
plate and various pretty things in the
way of sugar holders and sandwich
dishes. Just before the party disband-
ed the various articles were all neatly -
packed, ready to be stowed away in
the automobile of the'bride.to be when
she took her departure.

June 6th, 1015
Dear Mother and all;
Thank you very much for the nice
rake and chocolate you sent we, I can
tell you I was delighted to get thews,
also the cigarettes, as I hadn't ane.
WeIL we have just come out of the
trenches again after 1,3 days and feel
very tired I can tell you, The Kaiser
calls us Canadian rats, but I guess we
abased them alright, Lauchie Aitchi-
son and I were fixing a parapet when
we heard a terrific bang and I was
hurled up against the trench filing
but was not bunt at all. I got unlock-
ed around me, there was Aitchison
and two others on the grcnnd wound-
ed. I ran through the trench and
found Lieut, Hodgson and passed him
the word for the stretcher bearers to
come we all helped and got them ban-
daged up a little, they were sent off to
the Hospital two miles away, I uould-
'nt say how badly Lauchie was wound-
ed as I have not heard anything yet.
We are only 4 left now of the Wing-
ham boys so I think 1 am a very lucky
chap so far, we were in the midst of
the explosion and I can't thiuk how I
escaped, however, the arrival of a
letter from home with eatables as well
made up for the unpleasant exper-
iences we have had.
Dear Mother I should like you to
send mo if you can some writing paper
and envelopes as I havn't one, I have
bad quite a lot of German helmets,
but they are all smashed up too bad to
send home but I am looking out for a
good one then I shall send it on to
you. I hope everybody I know is well
also all of you at home and hope
it won't be long before I am home
with you again. Remember me to all
and thank you dear mother for what
you sent me theywere very accept-
able, I hope things are getting brighter
in Wingham and lots of work doing.
Well I • must close now hoping
you are keeping well and not
worrying about me, I am fine in
health only very tired so please do not
worry as I think I am very lucky so
far and have a feeling that I will yet
come out of it all right, Love to you
and all at home. Write soon, I shall
try to write to you every week.
Your loving son

A joke, too good to let pass without
mention, was sprung to Mr. John
Hewer on Saturday. The O i t i z e n s
Band sent for a new bass horn which
was daily expected and Mr. Hewer
being secretary of the band, it was a
very likely thing that it would come
to him, and it came, a large box was
brought in by the express man with a
charge of 45 cents which Mr. Hewer
readily paid, A citizen cattle in pres-
ently and enquiring what the new
horn was like was told he might take
the lid off the box and see it, Mr.
Hewer being too busy to open it, al-
though quite anxious to see it also.
When the' bo"x was opened to the sur-
prise of both gentleman it contained
the worst looking old -horn imaginable.
Naturally there was soon many happy
faces enquiring of Mr. Hewer how the
new horn suited,
