Gammas of `Irish pills" are urged to m eke a careful selection of seed "taties" this Fall to ensure the proper class of tubers before the prophesyed famine prevails next Spring. Now its'roronto aldermen who throt tle oue another and bump their heads against the wall. The electors should leave these hot headed pugs at borne next January and perbaps they'd learn sense, S ase talk again of Fort l'Vllllam and Port Arthur uniting under some name to be agreed upon. It would make e great city if it could be consummated with a malty of purpose and good feel icg. '- EVERY Canadian woman should be pnt on tem 11 terms with the men in the use of the franchise. Ontario should set a good example by enacting a female suffrage law. Such a day is not far dis- tant and the sooner 5t conies the better, PxussJAN militarists are said to have preferred a charge against the allies for using the "tanks" on account of them beiug inhuman If some people were guessing they would say this is surely a case of Satan reproving sin. The "gentle love taps" administered to the allies in the past 2 years were delight- fully humane and jolly, you know. Now would be a fine time for every Christian man and woman to buckle into a forward crusade in the congrega- tion to which they belong and stir up the spiritual life of the membership and seek to draw into church connection those not now enlisted, both old young. Will you be one of the number? A COUPLE Winnipeg editors were jail- ed and fined for being too free in criti- cising a Judge who had called them down for their misdeeds. The pen 5s said to be mighter than the sword but a fellow needs to have sense enough to know who he is prodding with either. As a rule the press is to he commended for the course they followbut sometimes a man's judgment 5s badly warped by his politics and perchance be walks into bis own trap WRY do you swear ? Is it because the Deity has not been good to you ? A few things should be remembered by users of profanity :—It is a violation of the law of the land, as well as a Divine com- mand. A man should set a better ex- ample before children and youths. It does not add weight to statements being made by interjecting an oath into every sentence. There might be some possible excuse for being profane if a man were in a passion and his blood hot but to cooly and deliberately spue out the vilest kind of talk deserves a touching -up in the shape of the largest fine permitted by law, A few such object lessons would probably impress on the swearer the folly and inadvisable character of continuing such a senseless practice. Tex verdict of Police Courts 511 many cities is that the Prohibition law has nearly cleared out the long docket of drunks and violations of law attributable to the use of booze. There should be a strikingreduction in law w costs and the removal of officers to maintain law and order. Business men say they have al- ready felt the benefit in cash sales in- stead of a credit system that was a const- ant dread. Violators of the law who are well fined for their unwillingness to respect the Statute should soon wake up to the fact that it is not only a costly job but a mark of disloyality to set at deft anee a plainly written law. The fellow who aids and abets and thinks he is do- ing a meritorious deed has another ''think" coming. Ger ready for a united "lift" on an- other British Red Cross offering during October, Trafalgar Day is suggested for a genuine hustle. While such a gift goes to the Motherland many a Cana- dian soldier boy may be a recipient over- seas as he may require the attention of physician and nurse, This locality made generous donations lest year when the call was made and the same willingness will be in evidence now. When everybody does their part the load is out berdeusome to anybody, Brussels cor- poration through the Municipal Council voted SSoo in I0r5 and to this sum was added S7oo or $Bon by the personal sub- scriptions of the people. The Red Cross Funds of either Britain or Canada are Worthy of hearty and liberal support and it should be regarded as a privilege to aid such a cause. We get off Very easy if the payment of a few hundred dollars Settles the bills in days 0f such stress and strain to the Empire, Get behind the effort and shove, Ir will noon be time to select treat y •at 's Council. The work should not be , left to the last minute but tlonti:fel eleetots should consider the best avail- able timber who will do the meat for the t careful management of the municipality (concerned and broad minded enough I end p-raseseed of enough public spirit to Flee that coo't5slent progress is made from year to year.

They deserve oar heartiest support in every possible way. Rtnos'rew•N Fall Fair will be held . next week.

For the smallest and hest looking lady on the 1 grounds ; Largest family at the Fair. Talose Kent Co. folk must have more nerve than Huron County to put on 3 beauty shows at one Fair and no stipo- lation as to wbether they must be blon- des or brunettes, naturally curly hair or the paper or rag variety, stub nose or the Roman type. The judges should have wire cages and police protection to permit of their reaching their own fire side without broken heads, dislocated neck or being kicked on tete shins. So many Kent mothers think their little cherubs are "It" and a man who runs contrary stands a good chance of having his heirs drawing bis life insurance, Friday afternoon of this week three prizes are to be given at Brussels Fair for best looking kiddie under 2 years. People who pride themselves ou their ability to pick the winners shou'd be on band.

Some of our men were in Lon don when the mammoth zeppelin was brought down at Enfield.

It's raining every other day here and we are up to our ankles in mud. We are pulling down our tents with the intention of going to 13ramshott for the Winter and will be in huts of course, We have lost two more of our officers Sergeant Major Massie, of Stratford, bas gone to, Whitley as Brigade Major and Capt. Rewald as Brigade Capt. The 71st is gettiug all kinds of promo- tions here, besides doing good work in the trenches. They have made a name for themselves already. Col.

Stale -MON, Ethel, DEAR FRIEND —Jest a line to let you know that I am well, hoping these lines will find you the same. I received your letter some time ago and was glad to hear from you as a few lines from home always cheers one up very much out here where one knows very few except those whom he makes friends with but that isn't what you would call very hard either as we are all working together in a common cause and all seem like bro- thers. We have here a nice Y. M, C. A where we do all our writing and buy what little we need. We have them • • richt up from the trout line as well as back in the billets. I am certain there isn't an institution in the world to -day that has done more for the men than the Y. M. C. A. 'rleey have a concert somelimes and at one p'ace where we were they had a regular theatre, It is a fine place for any soldier on active ser- vice to spend his idle hours in. . Well 1 suppose you know by this time We are not allowed to say anything In our mail about where we are or what we are doing and it is very hard to write letters when they are subjected to cen- sorship but anyway this Is an awful place out here.

Some Scotties, believe me. They are fine fellows and 1 am very proud to be in a Highland Battalion. This is all I have to say for this time.

OCTOBER WEATHER FORECASTS A reactionary sl orris period is cent- ral on the 2nd, Bed and 4th. The moon is at greatest South declination on the 2nd, and at first quarter on the 4511. The Mars, earth and mercury periods bear with their combined per- turbing forces on this period. We mayreasonably,ex pact that the mer- cury brace,n e coming with t Yg he Mars nrul earth periods over from September, will bring a prolongation of cloudy, unsettled and even stormy weather with it, over into the period central on the 2nd, 8fd and 4th. 011 and touching these dates storm forces will be angruented—the bat .uneter will break down, temperature will rise, and increasing cloudiness, merging in- ; to rain, wind anti probably snow and sleet, will take up their accustomed I march over. the country from West to j East. These reactionary storms will reach Eastern extremes about the 4511 1 to 5th, with high baromel n I, pressure, Westerly galea and touch eulder wea- ther pressing closely behind. A regular storm period is central on the 9th, covering Saturday the 7511, to Tuesday the 12th. The Moen is on the celestial equator on the 9th, the cent- ral clay of this period. apd in opposi- tion with earth and atm on the llth. In the West there will be indications of brewing storms as early as the 7th and 8th. These indications will bring clouds, wind and rain promptly in Western States. By -the. 9.11 storms of wind, rain and possibly thunder gusts, will develop and start on their Eastward journey. 0.1 mat about the 10th and 11th these elnrtns will be central over a vast area, stretching' tip and down the great central valleys. Heavy galea will naturally attend h , these storms breaking. into possible 1 far 1 as theypass over the lake regions. r p g Close on the Western flanks of these storms the barometer will rise rapidly, still, boreal gales will set 511 from the Northwest, and an unseasonably cold wave will follow 5n the wake of these storms, over almost the entire country, - •••••••••••••••••••••••••• •••e•e••e•e••••••••••••••• • •• • • • • • • • e • • • e • • • • • • • • • • Boots and Shoes At former Prices Early buying and with the cash enables us to place Footwear of all kinds before you at former prices: We have our Fall and Winter stock nearly all complete and your early buying will save you money. • w' Harness Department • Heavy and Light Harness, Robes, e Blankets, huge, Whips.
