The address was: "Dear Carman,—A few of your many friends and associates wish to show their appreciation of your de- termination to don the King's uni- form, and willingly do your part in defence of Home and Country, Free- dom and Liberty. We know that you will show the same earnest applica- tion in your training and preparation to do your part in the serious ordeal ahead, as you have shown heretofore in your work here. We sincerely hope the day may not be far distant when Peace may again reign on the earth, when you and many others we know well may return to your homes and resume your normal life with us. This token we present to you to ex- press in a small way our appreciation of you as a friend and your decision to do your part as a soldier. So your many friends bid you, not "Good-bye", but "Au Revoir" till we meet again."

St. James Church, Rev. Father P.

But no town of its size has more stable and prosperous manufactories and industries than Seaforth, Big flouring' mills, oatmeal mills, engine works, furniture factories, lime and cement works, salt works, wagon, carriage and buggy works, and a host of other smaller industries that em- ploy the labor of the town and pay out monthly the sum of 810,000 in cash, is what we base the claim of Seaforth's commercial prosperity on. The town is protected from fire by a well -drilled and equipped volunteer pre department, of which Mr. Will- iam Reid is Chief. The town waterworks plant is a credit, and is in charge of Mr. Rich- ard Hammett, whose duties are faith- fully fulfilled and proper pressure for ordinary use or for lire has always been promptly forthcoming. Although not owned by the muni- cipality, the Seaforth Electric Light, Heat & Power Co. furnishes an ade- quate street lighting system and has one of the best plants in Western Ontario.

Alexander and Stewart Ten years of negotiation and liti- gation in Huron county court's'have ended with the handing down of a judgment in the now famous Hay Township drainage case, in which two farmers sued the municipality for, wrongful distress and damages. They were William F. Alexander, who was awarded $308, and Duncan Stewart, who was awarded $76.44 and costs by Judge J. L. Killoran, of Stratford, who heard voluminous evi- dence at Goderieh in adjourned ses- sions extending over a long period. It was all over a drain that was never built, but the project did go so far that an engineer was engaged to make a report, which was adopted by Hay Township council and a bylaw passed authorizing the assessment of costs against the lands affected, Alexander refused to pay his share, and Stewart paid his under protest. Both took action to recover, Judge Killoran rules that the town- ship bylaw is illegal and invalidand that the petition was not sufficiently signed, Just what effect the judgment will have on those farmers in the scheme who did pay is problematical, ATTEND FUNERAL OF COUSIN Mr, and Mrs. Wm. J. Pullman at- tended the Funeral on Wednesday afternoon of Mr. Pullman's cousin, Mrs J our T•voott, 236 John street, Stratford, who died Sunday nfternoon.' Mrs. Wood was formerly Lydia Bal- four of Zion (Hibbert), She is sur- vived by one son and two daughters, all of Stratford. Her husband prede- ceased her about ten years ago. One son lost his life in a drowning accid- ent at Stratford some years ago. tP ev- I asture Ideas For ening, Aug. 25th at 7.30 o'clock. Dr. it Paul Brady will lecture on "Com - Poultry Raisers Best range for growing pullets and how pullets should be fed on range, are discussed in an article by F. E. Ellis in the Family Herald and Weekly Star, in which he refers to a recent visit to Scott's Poultry Farm: Our next call was at the farm of J. M. Scott, Seaforth, one of the largest plants in Canada devoted ex- clusively to the breeding of Barred Rocks—perhaps the largest. Mr. Scott.carries 6,000 layers or more and is this summer growing 7,000 pullets. The pullets are started in permanent brooding quarters until old enough to go into shelters. These are six by eight and spaced over a large field, the water and feed ves- sels movedeach day. Here, too, I noted that there were no' bare spots on the range—but it was not alfalfa, "I am not partial to alfalfa as a pullet range," confesses Mr. Scott. "Old meadows of mixed grass are more open to the cleansing sunshine and there is more of the short, sweet grass that the pullets like, Ib is our observation that pullets will not tat clover at all if they can get this grass." One man with a horse and a rub- ber tired wagon does the feeding. Another, with' the same equipment, does the watering. In the morning, whole oats are fed in one hopper and growing mash in another. They are fed what they will clean up in a couple of hours, which means about murncable Diseases." Please note the time. Another quota of surgical and hospi- tal supplies has been asked for. 'An appeal through this column has al- ways brought out workers when an emergency quota has been accepted. But for the last one, an average of eight responded. This leads us to ask is this column losing its effectiveness 01 are we becoming indifferent to ' war demands? Volunteers are need- ed for these two quotas and women who can sew are asked to help with hospital supplies and Br, Civilian clothing. The work room will be open Friday evening and Mon., Wed. and Friday of next week. 1 NOSE.

I (Continued on Plage Five.)' s g 1)oor• SHOP Al AVAUGE IT PAYS SALVAGE BULLETIN . Next Monday, August 24th, will start the nation-wide Rubber Scrap Campaign for -rural areas. Your Government asks every farmer to gather together all rubber scrap on his farm, and leave it at his mail box, where it will be picked up by the Ind] courier and brought to Sal- vage Headquarters. This campaign in Seaforth and district is under the direction of Postmaster C. P. Sills, a committee member of the Seaforth and District Salvage Corps. Watch for the folder you will receive in your mail -box on August 21st; it answers all questions about the cam- paign, and tells you the rubber items that are vitally needed, and what they are needed for. A11 the rubber you can find will be brought to town by the mail couriers on their regular mail delivery, thereby saving gas and tires that would ordinarily have to be used for a regular collection. The Post Office will do its part; the co- operation of every farmer in this im- portant campaign will make it a real success. On Tuesday afternoon a good coI- lection of salvage was brought in during the East4Side and Egmond- ville collection, This was the sixth East Side collection, and the 11th collection held in Seaforth since the Seaforth and District Salvage Corps was organized in March, On Tuesday evening the sorting was In charge of a group from the Presbyterian Church, and the salvage was pre- pared for marketing.
