Those housekeepers who have put up fruit this season using new rub- ber rings and have been alarmed re- garding the scare about said rings being poisoned are advised not' to destroy the fruit. It has been as- certained from an investigation of the matter that only a small portion of phenol has been used in the manu- facture of the rubber rings, not enough being present to cause harm to anyone. It is advisable that rings be boiled if any odor is de- tected and if any odor is detected in the fruit previously canned it it is exposed to the air it will soon pass off and no harm will result. HIS LAST FLIGHT. The unfortunate cadet, who was killed in this case was W. Harold Bousfiold of MacGregor,, • Man. He was a grandson of the late S. G. Plummer of Clinton and a nephew of hi'rs, II. J. Hibbs of Goderich town- ship .and of Mrs. L, Scott of Toron- to. He was twenty-two years of age and expected to complete his training in Canada in two weeks, "Beannsville, Sept. 11.—A fatal airplane collision occurred about ten o'clock this forenoon; about three and a hall miles from the Beamsville Av- iation Camp. As a result- a flight - lieutenant and a cadet were killed and incinerated, and another cadet was severely injured ; one machine was totally destroyed by fire and the other reduced practically to matchwood. They were about three hundred feet in the air, and the cadet who had the miraculous escape from death and sustained no broken bones was making a solo flight. They were engaged in camera -gun practice, The remains of the aviat- ors who• were killed were burned be- yond recognition. Up to this even- ing their indentity had not been as- certained at the camp," AMONG 'i''iE CHURCHES. Turner's. church, Tuckersmitli, will have its anniversary services next Sunday, when the Rev. T.

The county council has .been interesting itself In regard to this natter for some time and at its last meeting appointed a com- mittee to wait upon the Government to urge that this be done. It will mean that these roads, which both run through Clinton, will be put in- to first class shape, sixty percetrt. of the cost of construction and of maintenance to he borne by the Provincial Government, This ought to he a good thing for Clinton. as we are about in -the centre of the coun- ty and the road leading in from every direction will be under the Good Roads System. The work -of construction will probably itot be undertaken until after the war. Reeve Ford of Clinton has taken a keen interest in the Good • Roads scheme and was a member of the committee appointed by the county council. W.P.S. NOTES.

The morning session was given up to the transaction of routine bus- iness, such as comes- • betore this autumn meeting, the business not being completed until after hni hoot. One' item of interest was the adop- tion by the District of the enact- ment by the Conference of the Con- ference Fund for the paying of del- egates expenses to Conference. In this way delegates residing at a dis- tance front the place chosen for the annual Conference will be placed up- on an equal footing with those near at hand, as all expenses will be pro- vided for from a Conference Fund., The Itev, W.

(Syl) Watts had returned to France after spend- ing fourteen days' leave at his old home town, Ilfracombe, Devonshire, England, "Syd'' went overseas a year ago last February with a draft attached to the Canadian Engineers and has been over fifteen months in Prance, FARMS CHANGE HANDS. It sure pays to advertise, especial- ly when you choose a live medium like The News -Record. To prove this we might say, that M'tessrs. Win. and Geo. P. Gould had their farm ad- vertised in only, one issue of The News -Record when it was sold to air. H. .J. Trewarthafor the sum of 910,000. The farm contains 170 acres with good buildings, also 13 acres of good hush land and is in a high state of cultivation. The Messrs. Gould intend locating in Goderich where they will take life easier. They have been practical farmers, always keeping well stocked with cattle, horses, hogs and sheep and believe in putting. everything on the market in a finished state. Mfr. H. J. Trewartha has sold his 40 -acre farm, south of Holmesvillc, to his brother, E. J. Trewartha, and has rented his grass farm on the 0th concession to his brother, N. W. Trewartha, for a term of Ove years. The Trewartha Bros. are also practical and up-to-date farmers and amongst therm now own over 700 acres of land. There never was a better time to be a farrier and 'the man on the land is to be congrat- ulated. RULES FOR PUBLISHERS. On another page in this issue we publish an article summing up the regulations, which the United States Government Itas recently brought in- to effect with regard to newspapers. The end aimed at is to conserve newsprint and help out the fuel situation. It will be noted that one of the regulations ]e to the ef- fect that no paper can be continued to a subscriber after the elapse of three months after the date of ex- piration. Such an order, if put in force in Canada, would very mater- ially reduce the subscription Lists of the vast majority of weekly papers. It may be that some such order will be issued by the Canadian Govern - !newt. 11 so there will be no alter- native for publishers but to obey. The News -Record world like to be in a position to be able to render instant obedience to any order is- suing from the Government looking toward the welfare of the whole Dominion and with the least poss- ible inconvenience to its large list of patrons. We would, therefore, sug- gest that within the next few weeks, before the end of the year at the latest, every subscription he paid in advance. Titus we shall be ready to carry out tite behests of the Gov- ernment should it see fit to take drastic measures in regard to Can- adian publications. RESULTS WILL FOLLOW. "Several dray loads of the trade catalogues of a well-known depart- ment store in Toronto have just been delivered iu Peterborough. The post dOJtce Is cluttered up with these volumes, every one of which weighs over a potted, and the letter carriers are weighted down with them out their rounds. The rural mail, deity - eters, too, are finding their duties somewhat more than doulilod for a few clays in the work of distribu- tion, as a large percentage of these catalogues go to the country. "Every such catalogue so received is a dead loss to the city as it will divert money to Toronto, money. that would be better invested at hoose. And the pity of it is' that anything listed in the catalogue can he. secured in Peterborough on terms just at advantageous as those offer- ed by the department store. It is the advertising that draws the cus- tom to the larger centre, and the title can be turned by the house tnet- ehants staking the same free use of printer's ink,'—Peterborough Re�" view. That it is by advertising that the large department stores reach the people will hardly he denied by any- one. The wonder it that merchants do not wake up to rho ,fact that they must light the mail m:der house with thele: own weapons.

NC)' SUNDAY MOTORING HERE, The (Government's appeal for a sav- ing of gasoline by refraining from pleasure motoring at Sunday met . with a pretty tutanintous respouco in Clinton. The garages •kept their floors closed and Lvery few cars.were • seen throughout the clay and the few that did appear wore frowned upon by the puhilo. The weather was such that there was -little temptation to go pleasure riding, of cotirse, but We believe the people will cotitiriue to respond and should. Sunday next and the one after that be tine that they will still keep. their cars in the gar- I age unless urged by dire necessity to use theist. It is not much.- to ask that we should give up a few hours' pleasure. Motoring for pleas- ure has been cut out in England for the past two or three years. II1 DIED ICOR IIIS COUNTRY. Froth a letter received this morn- ing from Mr, Seth Fisher of Edger- ton, Alta., The News -Record was sorry to learn that he had received word that his son, Pte. A. Leslie Fisher, had died ot wounds on Sept. 2nd. A few weeps ago Mr. Fisher was notified that his son, Pte. Robt.' P. Fisher had been admitted to hos- pital suffering from a gunshot wound, but he had since written to say that his wound was not considered ser- ious. 'these young then both enlisted with the 161st battalion here and will be remembered by practically all our citizens, the family having resided here before loaving for Al- berta. Mfr. and Mrs. Fisher will have the sympathy of many old friends here in the loss of their promising and gallant son. LITTLE LOCALS.
