Ottawa, Sept. 31.—Since war be- gan, Canada's men of fighting age have paid considerable attention to the navy. Naval service has become :an important feature of the nation's war activity, From the start of the war, 5,300 officers and men have joined the Canadian Naval Service, cruising in home waters, Canadians to the number o0 400 are officers la the motor boat patrol section of the Royal Navy, which includes in its duties the exciting task of looking for U-boats off the British coasts and elsewhere. Thirty-six cadets have gone from the Royal Naval College at Halifax to be officers in the Royal Navy and forty are taking the course :of training there now before joining the navy. Canadians are partieuittrly. well fitted for such duties as those of the motor boat patrol service, owing to the abundance of waterways and the great vogue of water sports in summer throughout the country. Canada is doing mucky essential work for the Allied clause through the medium of naval service. 13-8 if England peed I Tonight The following tribute to Ragland 'and her services and inspiration to Die cause of liberty everywhere, by cit Anie ,rico n poet, is being widely. repriilted ie the United Stator, where it was first published. For its vig- orous and picturesque statement of all that England *leans in the war, as well as for its strikIeg revelkttion of the spirit in which the people of the United States have joined. her in the struggle, It deserves en .'squally wide publieity in this country, mer. Mrs, Robert Houghton of Titillate, Mr, and Mrs. IL L. Downey and family, of Detroit, Mr. and Mrs. J,. L, Downey and family of Mitchell and Miss Margaret O'ougblin of Seb- ringville were guests at the Dorsey- Devereaux wedding last week, Mrs, Charles Stewart and two Children, who have been spending the summer as the guests of the lady's father, Mr. Win. McDougall of Fg- mondville, left last week for their home at Portland, Oregon. Mr. Rufus Winter has returned to his home at Nelson, B. Ct, after spending a few holidayts here, Miss Nellie, youngest daughter el Mrs. James Devereaux of the Huron Road, was united in marriage on Wednesday of last week in St. Jam- esj church with Mr. 'William Dorsey oft St. Coltenban. Mrs. Williams, wife of Bishop Wil- liams of London, addressed a mass meeting of the citizens one evening last week on the subject of food con- servation. Mr. E. J. Whittaker of the Geo- logical Survey of Canada, who has just completed . a season of field work for the Department, was in town visiting relatives for a few days last week, Miss Agnes Ferguson of Bay City, Miele., and Miss Mae Ferguson of Nlannistee, Midi., have been in town, having come on account of the death of their sister, the late Mrs. yan- Egmond. Mrs. W. D. VanEgmond died at her home in Egmondville on Monday week. She had not been enjoying good health for a year but had been able to be about until a couple of weeks prior to her death. Her hus- band, one son, Mr. Bert VanEgmond f of Regina, and one daughter, Miss Ruth, a professional nurse, survive. Diseases of Poultry The 'Assistant Pathologist, A. B. Wickware, V.S., connected with the Health of Animals' Branch of the Department al Agriculture, Ottawa, has been engaged for some years in the study and investigation of poul- try diseases in no -operation with the Poultry Division of the Dominion Experimental Farms. The result of his labours has been embodied in a' -sixteen -page bulletin, numbered 25, and headed "Intestinal Parasites of Poultry, Their Prevention and Treat- ment." An estimate made by the Department sets the yearly value of the poultry Industry of the country( at $50,000,000 and the Veterinary Director General states that the actual loss of this from preventable causes is at least ten percent. In other words the avoidable loss is $5,000,000 annually. Dr. Wickware does not attribute the whole or this most serious loss to the particular troubles with which he deals, but, as he says, there is nothing more harassing to the poultry keeper than the problem of how to Ileal with the intestinal parasites that altect his fowl. This bulletin, which can be had free on application to the Pub- lications Branch, Ottawa, has been prepared, with a view to assisting the poultry keeper and breeder, first, to recognize existence of the para- sites, which are subdivided into three classes, tapeworms (ostodes), ,rowed worsts (nematodes), and leaf -like worms or flukes (Tremedoesj,, and then how to banish thein, or at least to keep them in subjection. Three full-page plates describing the pests minutely in their various stag- es accompany the bulletin and great- ly increase its value and interest. 1V.o'TRUNK SYS EM HIGHLANDS OF O'N'I'A.RIO, CANADA The Hoene of the Red Deer and the Moose. —OPEN SEASONS -- DEER --November 1st to November 15th, inclusive.

Hells Them Back to the Land A land is being raised roe the pur- pose of rendering aid to the peasant farmers of the Allied countries which have been omen by the war. The movement started in England and is called. "The British Committee for the Agricultural Relief of the Allies." The King is patron and the Dukes of Portland is president of the British Association. But of course such a movement was bound, to cross the Atlantic and now we have's, branch organization in Canada, with the Duke of Devonshire, who was deeply interested in the work in England, as patron. It also has the warm sym- pathy of both Premier Borden and Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who ate honor- ary presidents, and upon the execu- tive committee appears the name of Prof, F, 0. I3Iford of Ottawa, form- erly of Goderich toudnship, The idea is to interest particularly. the farm- ers of Canada and to raise a sum of money so that seed grain, stock,im- pletnents, etc., may be procured and given to than farmers who have lost everything but the land, which, in many cases, will take years to bring back to a place where it can be Properly worked, so that they may be able to make a' fresh start, The British and French Governments have given hearty encouragement to the movement- and. their practical Help. is promised. A day will be fixed in the coming early winter wlien the Canadian farmers will be asked to make their contributions to this worthy fund. Goderich Mr, John Kay of Toronto spent a o few days in town n last week. Rev. Canon and Mrs. LIi11 and daughter, Miss Nora, of Regina have arrived in Goderlch and intend snake ing their home here, Miss Alberta Yates of Chicago has been visiting her .parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Yates. Mrs. Olive Maskell left recently lot Brooklyn, N.Y., where she intends taking a musing course. Mr. Thos. Graham of Clevela d has been visiting in town.

The price' for the full year is $1.25, map included, It is wonderful value, and itis no wonder they are securing thousands of new roaders. Renewals also, many months ahead, are being sent in ordeo to get the map now. The map is very complete, and alone well worth the price asked for both paper and map, CANADA Military Service Act, 1917 Explanatory Announcement by the Minister of Justice THE MILITARY SERVICE ACT has received the assent of the Governor-General and is now part of the law of the land. It will be enforced accordingly, and the patriotism and good sense of the people can be relied upon to support it. Resistance to its enforcement; however. by word or act must and will be repressed, as resistance to any other' law in force must'be. Reinforcements under the Military Service Act . immediately required It is the intention of the Government immediately to exercise the power which the Act confers and to call out men for military service in order to provide reinforcements for the Canadian forces. This is neces- sary since the military authorities report that the reserves available or in sight for reinforcement will shortly be exhausted unless this step be taken. First call limited to inen between 20 and 34 who were unmarried or widowers without. children on July 6, 1917 The present call will be limited to eap. not in the schedule of excep- tions:who were unmarried or widowers without children on 6th July,1917; are at least twenty years of age, and were born on or since January 1st; 1883. Of this Class all those will be entitled to conditional exemption whose services in their present occupations, agricultural, industrial or other, are essential in the national interest, and whose business or domes• tic reponsibllities are such that serious hardship would ensue if their, services be required. Conscientious scruples based upon a prohibition of combatant service by the articles of faith of the religious denomination to which men belong will also be respected. The men first required to serve will consequently be those who can be called upon with the least disturbance of the economic and social life of the country. Civil Tribunals to deal with exemptions Questions of exemption will be determined, not by the military authorities or by the Government, but by civil tribunals composed of representative men who are familiar with local conditions in the com- munities in which they serve, who will generally have personal knowledge of the economic and family reasons which those whose cases come before them have had for not volunteering their services and who will be able sympathetically to estimate the weight and importance of such reasons. Provincial Appellate Tribunals constituted from the existing judiciary of the respective provinces will be provided to correct mistakes made by Local Tribunals, and a Central Appeal Tribunal for the whole of Canada; selected from among the present Judges of the Supreme Court of Canada; will be constituted in order. that identical principles may be applied throughout the country. In this way every man may rest assured of the • fair and full consideration of hie circumstances and the national require - manta both Civil and military. Proclamation will announce the day A proclamation will issue calling out the bachelors and widowers referred to and fixing a day on or before which every man must report for service to the military authorities unless he lies before that day Glade an application for exemption. How to apply for exemption Applications for exemption may beepeade by written notice on forms which will be available at every post office, and will be transmitted free of postage. They will not, howeVqqe� be required to be made in this Way; Hilt may be presented by t e applroants in person to the exemption tri- lettnele. The cases of those who have given written notice in advance will take precedence, and appearance in person will therefore be likely to Involve considerably more inconvcnlenc and delay to the men con. earned so that it is recommended that advantage be generally taken of the facilities for written application, Ottawa, September 11, 1917. Exemption Tribunals in all parts of Canada The local exemption tribunals will be constituted with the least delay possible, consistent with the selection of representative individuals to compose them, and the instruction of the members in their duties. There will be morethan one thousand of such tribunals throughout Canada, each consisting of two members, one of whom will be nominated by a Joint Committee'of Parliament, and the other by one of the Judges of the existing Courts. Every effort will be made by the wide distribution of tribunals, and by provision where necessary for their sitting in more than one place, to minimise the inconvenience to which men will be put in obtaining the disposition of their cases. A Registrar will be appointed in each Province, who will be named in the proclamation and to whom enquiries may be addressed. Each Provincial Registrar will transmit to the appropriate tribunal the appli- cations for exemption which have been submitted in advance of the sit- tings, and men who have sent these in will not be required to attend the tribunals until notified to do so. Other applicants should attend per- sonally on the tribunal without notice. How to report for service Men who do not desire to claim exemption will report to the military authorities for -service either by mail or in person at any time after the issue of the proclamation. Forms of report by mail will be found in all post offices, and, like applications for exemption, will be transmitted free of postage, Early report advantageous No man who reports for service will, although he may be medically examined and passed as fit, be required to go into camp or j oin a battalion until after a day fixed by the proclamation sufficiently late to permit of the disposition by the local tribunals of most, if not all, of the applica- tions for exemption which may come before them. Thus no advantage will be gained by delaying or disadvantage incurred by prompt report for service on the part of those who do not intend to apply for exemption. Facilities for immediate medical examination Immediately upon the issue of the proclamation, medical boards will sit at every mobilization centre for the examination of Hien who report for service or who, subject to their right within the time limited to apply for exemption, desire to have their physical fitness determined in order to allay any doubt as to their physical condition, or to know definitely and in advance whether there is a possibility of their services being required. Certificates of physical unfitness issued by these Medical Hoards will be accepted without any further investigation by exemption tribunals when they sit. Men found physically fit who have not reported for service may nevertheless apply for exemption on any of the prescribed grounds; including even their physical condition if dissatisfied with the Medical Board's conclusion. Notice to Join the colors As reinforcements are required; notice to report to the nearest mobil- j If izatien centre will be given from time to time to the men found liable and passed as fit for service. Disobedience of such notice will render the offender liable to punishment, but punishment for failure to report for military service, or to report subsequently for duty when called upon; will be imposed ordinarily by the elves magistrates; offenders, however; Will remain liable for the performance of their military dutiesotwiti . standing any civil punishment which may be Imposed and wilt be liable to military punishment in cases in which civil proceedings are not taken. Watch for the -Proclamation Notice ofhe cloy appointed for the making of a claim for exemption or Inc report for military service will be published as widely as possible; but, as no personal notice can be given until the individuals called out have so reported themselves or claimed exemption, men possibly con- cerned are warned to inform themselves with regard to the day fixed; since neglect may involve the loss by them of important privileges and rights. CHAS. J, L OHMTY, Minister of justice. ]
