The even- ing was most thoroughly enjoyed and before its close Mr. and Mrs, Wallis' guests sprung a surprise upon them by presenting them with a handsome water bottle, accompanied by an ap- preciative and somewhat humourous address. The gift was an acknowledge- ment of the many courtesies extend- ed the rest of the campers during the holiday season and though, the recip- ient§ disclaimed any special right to such consideration it was felt by all that it was but a small return at best.

LIKE TO 13E 111-11VIEMI3ERED, Many of the members or the Auxiliary have received letters from the front thanking them for the par- cels which wore recently sent to all the Clinton boys in the firing line. The trend of the letters plainly prove that the little remembrances Were appreciated far above their actual value and that the boys who are fighting for us like to .know that the home folk have them often in mind, A COUSIN DE.A.D. Mr. J. J. 'McCaughey received a telephone, pessage from Brampton on Sunday evening informing him of the death of his cousin, Mr. Alvin Coats, who died that morning after a brief illness. The young man was only a- bout twenty-three years of age. He had visited in town on several occas- ions. 01,1.713 ENTERTAINED. Mrs, J. A, Robinson entertained the members of the Unity Club or Goder- ich township at the Rectory on Thurs- day afternoon. The ladies of course brought along their work for Since the beginning or the war it is out of the question to waste afternoon doing nothing and the Cnity Club has been most diligent in Malting soldiers' supplies. Thus in patriotic wait and chat and the enjoyment of the dainty tea served bp the hostess the after- noon spedi by all ton quickly, W. P. S. NOTES. On Friday last the Women's Patri- otic Society had A most enjoyable tea. Also the following supplies were made ready for shipping : 6 shirts, 60 sheets, 3 scarfs, 174 pairs of socks, 71 pillow sties.

The tendency among merchants in the towns ol' Ontario ile Iavor of a general delivery seems to be growing. In several of the larger places the sys- tem is working splendidly, the meth- od being something like that of mail delivery. There was several years ago a strong feeling in Clinton in favor of this system but it gradually wore away and merchants continue to de- liver their own parcels at a cost far exceeding what would be necessary if one firm made all deliveries. The de- velopernent is in line with the modern methods of the elimination of waste and is worthy of consideration by up -tee -date business men. Two or three deliveries per day with an ex- tra one on Saturdays and before hol- idays should serve every purpose. NEW AUXILIARY OFF1CIERS, The Young Ladies' Patriotic Auxil- iaryheld its first meeting after the summer recess on Thursday evening in the council chamber. After the routine business had been disposed of officers were elected for the ensuing six months. The retiring president, Miss Beatrice Greene, intends leaving town for the winter and the other offi- cers, considering it good policy to pass around the honours and the responsi- bilities of office, declined to ad lon- ger so a new list was elected as fol- lows ; President, Miss Olive Cooper ; let vice, Mrs, J. K. Farad] vice, Miss Winnie Thompson ; 3rd vice, Miss Rena Pickett ; Secretary, Miss Minnie Pinning ; Treasurer, Miss Jean McTaggart. The weekly meetings will be contin- ued .and it it hoped that the mem- here will take hold with redoubled energy as their efforts' are urgently needed. 11114E "STAFF" SOARS HIGHER. Following the. example of the larg- er centres Clinton dedlers On Sept. 14th put bread up to eight cents the loaf of one and one half pounds. Bread had been selling at seven cents for aver a year, having taken a two - cent jump shortly after the commence- ment of the war, and people had be- eonic accustomed to the price, but eight cents is considered to be pret- ty high. The bakers contend that the present price of ingredients makes the advance necessary. Flour is or course the main ingredient but there is also , potatoes, and potatoes were 'never so high a price in Canada as now, there is also yeast, sugar, salt and short- ening. It is a -question if sugar and shortening is necessary in making good bread, though most modern re- cipies call for both. With the return of the cooler weather and the steady coal ere it is likely • that many a housewife will assay to bake bread. for her own family and she can by dint of practise produce a better and. mote wholesoine article of diet for less money than she can buy it. Breadmaking, so it is declared by those versed in the art, is not Such a difficult undertaking as many seem to imagine. "Back to the bake tray" would seem tb- be the slogan of the thrifty housewife at the present time. •••••••••••••• • ' . As. tbe estate of the late „ • • ' W. J.
