It is a serious matter fora soldier to be absent without leave or to 4ai1 to report for duty when called :and it is also a serious offence to aisles( soldier to evade the law. Anyone who has placed. himself . in this position would do well -to take advantage of the leniency offered. Harvest Help According to Registration returns .of June 22nd, there are over 2,500 men in the County who . have had lam experience or are willing to as- sist in the saving of the harvest, The Organization of Resources Committee have had abstracts made •of the cards signed by the above, ' These cards are in our office and liists have been prepared for each town and village in the County. The lists are in the hands of the local Organization of Resources Commit - .tee. It is hoped that in this way those -who require help will apply to those in charge of the list and that those -'who are asked to assist in harvest- ing will make an effort to comply -with the request. A little co-opera- tion between urban and rural dwell- -ers will aid a great deal at this time. The list for Clinton is in our of - fico and we will do all in our power to assist you. —S. B. STOTHERS, Dept. of Agriculture, Clinton Farmer of Morris Township Killed by Binder Blyth, Aug. 5,—A fatal accident -happened to John McElroy, a farm- er living in the township of Morris, about three miles from here, this morning. He was alone at the time, but as far as can be learned he was leading a team of horses attached to .a binder out of his barn, when the horses took fright, became unman- ageable and knocked him down, and • dragged the body under the binder across a field about forty rods. When he was found life was extinct, -death being supposed to have been instantaneous, as bis neck was brok- •-en and his body badly mangled. A Will Casa Front Seaforth ' Judgment has been given by, His Honor Judge Dickson in the Surto- ;gate Court in the case of Larkin et al. vs. Wortley et al,, which present- ed some unusual features. The plain- tiffs, laintiffs, Rev. Dr, Larkin, Presbyterian minister, and William Somerville of Seaforth sought a declaration of the will of the late Agnes Wortley of the same town. The defendants were the sons and daughters of the testator. After providing for the payment of 3t01is, funeral expenses, etc., the re- mainder of the estate, about $750, was lett to the executors for their trouble in closing up the estate. The -testator left only one dollar to each of her children, who sought to show that she was subject to "delusions" and incompetent to make a proper • disposition by - will. It appeared from evidence that the relations be- tween.tho deceased and her family had not been of the most cordial nature, Judge Diokson upheld the will, declaring the executors were en- titled to probate, and relying upon their goodwill to see that the be- quest should be used in a fitting man- ner. '.Goderich Signal. Huilett Township Mrs. John Grainger and Miss Jew- el visited Summerhill friends this .week. Master James Roberton is visiting at the home of his aunt, Mrs. John • Grainger. PORK RESTRICYIONS REMOVED Owing to the success of the hog production campaign in Canada and the United States, and conservation 'ertts of both countries in the con sumption of pork, the Canada hood Board has removed the restrictions applying to public eating places on pork of all kinds which may now be served at any thne by such places operating under a Canada Food Board License. Net exports of pork from the Dominion have been in - ,creased by 125,000,000 1300005 per annum, or 571 percent. over the live year pre-war average. r, 'The British schooner,oner, Gladys }Tollett, was sunk by a stibinnrine en vont* front Newfoundland to Now 'York.

H, R,intoul on Monday found a copy of The Toren - .to Daily Mail, dated June 4, 1874. The paper is of four pages and the aunual subscription price was $0. A dispatch from Ottawa shows the Dominion revenue for May, 1474, to have been $1,088,541.04, and the ex- penditure, $1,947,440,02. The Tor- onto markets of that data showed tali wheat selling at $1.27 to $1.30 per bushel ; spring wheat, $1,20 to $1.21 ; oats, 52e to 53c ; barley, 75e; peas, 700 t0 720 ; hay, $18 to $24 per ton. A dispute has been continued for several years between the Township of Wawanosh and the Township of Turnberry over the repairing of the boundary road between - the two townships, starting in Lower Wing - ham, up to the boundary, and going to Whitechurch. Turnberry's con- tention ontention is that it has no right to do the whole road, 'as Wawanosh makes more or as much use of it. Appar- ently the matter has been adjusted between them 'satisfactorily, each township to do half. Huron County Engineer Patterson will make pre- parations for the work to start as soon as possible. Mrs. Annie McEnvon died in Banff, Alta,, on Saturday, July 27th. She was the widow of the late Wm. An- derson of Glennanan and was in her 77th year.

Mr, David Elliott of the (Bayfield Road, Goderich township, arrived home one evening last week after having had some accident. Ho was driving along the Cut Line and can- not remember what happened as he was rendered unconscious. But his buggy looked as if it has been over-. turned and dragged along the road a distance. It is thought that he may have collided with an auto and been thrown from his rig and ren- dered unconscious from an injury to his head, and that the occupants of the auto might have righted the buggy, placed Mr. Elliott back in it and started the horse for home, Mr, Wm. Reid of Lucknow, while riding a rnotorcicie near Exeter one day recently struck a slippery bit of road and his machine skidding ho was landed on the hard road, His collar bone was broken and his wrist sprained.
