' 1'lie ties, patch goes on to say that he .at- tended service iu the ebapel, attaeh- 'ed to the mete of hishost the day, previous but It didn't say that he .showed any repentance for his sins, It is being suggested that Nov, :llth be set apart as a national thanksgiving day to be; annually ob- .served in Canada. The idea is a good one. Canada's thanksgiving ,day has been for years little •better than a-" farce, Let's have Nov, 1lth and have a real one, properly .observed. The Bo ton o• rad advertises thatt Its , minimum rate for obituary poetry is one • dollar a line. The 'Oriilia Packet says that in the, forty-eigiib years of its existence it has "'never published an obituary `poem,'auniformtariff of 10 cents per line proving prohibitive," The News - Record has had for years a uniform tariff of ten lents per line but oc- 'casionally the tariff is paid and a ;few lines go in at that price. • e * Seaforth subscribed $325,000 to the 'Victory Loan, realizing nearly twice f:.. the objective set, which was $175,- • '000. This is a record not equalled by any town of like population in Western Ontario, and we are proud •of the record, -Huron Expositor. Seaforth certainly did well in the campaign and we do not blame the people -for "blowing" a little bit. But how do the Seaforth people ,make their money, anyway ? That's what we'd like to know. There seems to be an idea abroad that the German revolution is not the genuine article ; that it is a sort of a "made -in -Germany" revolution, so to speak: The Toronto Daily ,Star puts it this way "The revolution in Germany has 'been so quiet and orderly up to this time that it reminds one sofnewhat ,of one of those revolutionary Chang- es in business which occur when a titan puts his property in his wife's name and keeps his debts in his awn.„ • • * The Germans must net be asked for indemnities above `their ability td pay say some people. The ex- Kaiser is busy now getting his s wealth out of Germany so that it will not be taxed, waggon loads of kd, and , silver coins ; having been en across the border into Holland during tits "Bast •few 'days_" • Ger- many should . be colnpeiled to pay right up to her ability and a bit beyond ; she showed no mercy to Belgium and would have had none for Britain or France had she been victorious. It is only by teaching the German nation that war does not -pay them that they will be weaned away from war, The papers have had a great time accounting, or rather trying to ac- count, for the: election of a farmer -in Manitoulin. The News -Record has no theory to offer, not knowing local condition, but the fact remains that more votes were cast for, the farmer candidate than for his oppon- ent and he -.was elected. And LOW that he is in the legislature we wish him success, There ought to be more farmers in the .legislature and in- the, parliaments of Canada. If farmers as a class were more fully represented in both ?leases it would be all the better for them- selves and for the country at large. Make the election of a farmer so common a thing that it will excite no comment, * * • Orillia can do anything it makes up its mind to -except build roads. The Bradford Witness says "The -�. '-Mud on Orillia's main street is so dangerously deep that whenever any- one is missing around town they immediately drag the mud hole." One of the mud holes, does the Wit- ness meati ?-Orillia Packet. The.,Orillia councillors should visit Clinton, drive down its main thor- oughfares this line fall weather and see for themselves what it means to have good roads, A few more ap- plications of tarvia will make our streets like pavement. Clinton has the best streets for a town its size anywhere. When it is not actually raining or snowing the dust is fly- ing on our main streets. * * Thursday last, was "'Der Tag," which has, been for forty years the toast in the German navy, tate day when the German fleet would meet the British fleet, But could disap- pointment . he more bitter 7 The German fleet comes out of its hiding to meet the British fleet only to • give itself up, defeated without fight- ing- a battle. There ate few better sports than the Briton,either sea- man or landsman, and few who are ,-; a more generous to a defeated foe, I but it would have required them to be something more than human for British naval officers and mon to ,,stiperess every feeling of exultation 011 Thursday last. What must have g been the feelings of the "proud ped- . pie, accustomed to Victory" on this occasion 7 Now that the vat loan campaign is .over, it cannot he counted disloyal to say what many people think, namely, that it was &inducted on altogether too extravagant a scale, . Whitt good purpose was served by • the ;diener flaps," the mittens, and it lot of the other' paraphernalia :et the eanipafgn ? Godericli Signal, The News -Record has often thought that the various, eaintiiiaigns carried on, either by the Government; or by organizations, usually . are con- ducted on an extravagant scale but in the present case we understand that the Honor Flags were donat- ed by itis l.xcelleney, the Duke 01 Devonshire, Governor General, of Canada. If he wished to spend some of bis surplus wealth in that way wo suppose' no obleetion can <ho: Made, He was a Well-known Figure in Goderich Township In the death of John Cox of the sixth concession of Godericli town- ship on Tuesday of last week the section lost one of its best known and most highly esteemed residents. Mr. Cox was born on the sixth, July 20th, 1842, and resided with his father until hevas twenty-four ur years of age, then •moving to the farm on which he died. Two years later hi was married to Mary A, Elliott, daughter of the late John Elliott of the same concession, who survives him with a family of live, four daughters and one son : Mrs. S. D. Dawson, Mrs. W. R. Mair and - Mrs. Weston, all of London, Mrs. T. . The Late John Cbx 5l. Woods of Goderich township and Howard, who is on the homestead. The family have the sympathy of the community in their loss. IIe was a member of the Orange Order for nearly sixty years. In- deed he may be said to have been born in an Orange Lodge, the meet- ings having been held in his father's house in the early days. In politics he was a staunch Conservative and. on more than one occasion was nom- inated by the Conservative conven- tion for the Legislature - but could never be prevailed upon to stand. `At the age of twenty-eight 1\'Ir. Cox entered municipal life and for ten years sat as councillor. After- wards he was elected reeve, holding that position for fourteen years continuously. The first year that county commissioners were appoint- ed he was elected warden. Mr. Cox never lost interest in public affairs either of the township or county and was always willing to give counsel and advice, and his advice was valued by many. He was a . member of the municipal board -of health for many years and until the day of his death. He was also a director of the Fire Insurance Com- pany of West Wawanosh. The late Mr. Cox was a Methodist in religion and as long as health permitted he was an active worker in the church. He was a kindly man, fond of his family and, his friends and one who stood for 'what he be- lieved to be right. Ile will be much missed in the community as well as in the home. The funeral took place from his' late residence on Thursday last to Maitland cemetery, and was very largely attended. The funeral was under the auspices of the Orange Or- der. The Rev. E. Anderson of Bay- field conducted the service at the house and graveside, The -pall- bearers were six nephews : Benson, Leslie and Herbert Cox, ,Wilmer Mc- Lean, Percy Jenkins and Reggie El- liott. Mrs. Cox and family wish to ex- tend their sincere thanks to the friends and neighbors for the kind- ness and sympathy shown to them in 'their bereavement.

A public reception and supper was given in his honor, Some young nien shot up a rural mail box near Kincardine- recently and if they do not make immediate reparation the affair will probably be made a serious ono for them, ac- cording to The Review, A Kincardine dentist, who was in Ripleyon the day that the signing of the armistice was celebrated, was surrounded at ,the station there and accused of hoisting the Ger- man flag when the news came. '1'he doctor protesteSl, that it was an American flag but the• crowd did not cease their bombardment of stale eggs, etc., until . he boarded the train. Then when he arrived in Kincardine he was met by another crowd and given a • like reception. The mayor came_ down and tried to appease the crowd. by saying that the flag used was an American peace flag but nothing would do but that the doctor would carry the Union Jack up the street, width he did, and afterwards gave a donation of fifty dollars to the Red Cross.
