RED CROSS E T'S The following parilgraphs are ex- tracts from the 'splendid report pre- sented by Miss Case, the President of the local branch of the- Red Cross Society at their annual meeting held recently: While expressing our(' apprecia- tion of the kindness shown to us on all occasions, I wish to particuarly thank the good` people of Seaforth and surrounding country, who- have been most generous in i their support. The Board and Directors of the Carnegie Library, who have given us the use of their hall and ether rooms for carry ing on our work; the busy, women who have given both their time and work so faithfully; the Press? who have been most kind in giving usSpace from week to week; Mr. Neil, Messrs. Sproat & Sproat and Mra Clark, for the use of their shops for having work called for and returned; a the mer- chants who have supplied us with packing cases free of (shake; Mr. Arnold Case, for assisting int'packing and seing that all boxes ;were nailed securely for shipment; fdr. Charles Stewart, for making us advertising nutter whenever neded; the differ- ent stenographers in town, who many times have done typewriting for us; the different individuals; end socie- ties, who have lent us sewing ma- chines; Mr. E. J. Box and Mr. Marsh- all Stewart for draying;. The Grand Trunk Freight Company for .carrying all our supplies to Toronto free of cost; and to Mrs. Wright for knitting socks with her m chine. ` I am sure that we all rejoice to know that the wok goes? on satisfac- torily and that w have been enabled to do much front oath to month in sending money an comforts to ' help our soldiers at the fronts It is one way in which we women can do our little bit towards the great cause of right.

The following le ter was written by Pte. T. E. Govenlo ,k to his mother, Mrs. J. M. Govenlck, of Winthrop, a short time before he was killed in action. Fran e, Sept. 18, 1916:- Dear Mother, Your letter and Edith's came on aturday and I was glad to know tha everything was fine since I sent ypu the field post card. I have had I my first taste of fire. Our party arrived here on Tuesday ,last afte a slow trip and two days afoot. he Battalion was in support then, and ewe jollied right up to the s gnal section.Thurs- day a party . of s were on a fat- igue party to the battle head- quarters, carryin: bombs and doing some digging. F itz sent over coal boxes all day an. got one of our men, but we fini hed our job, and returned to our support quarters,. which by the wa,was an old Ger- man undergroundugout about 20 to 25 feet below; the ground, fitted with comfortable bunks and white- washed. That same night we went up again and the B . ttalion went to our first line trench til the signallers were told off to different positions. Six of us stayed at Headquarters to repair telephone - lines—sounds as if it were right in y line doesn'teit ? However we coul • n't get anywire to line on account of Heine's shells. He kept - shelling He dquarters all night and next day, s. we dug ourselves in and waited. T .e real work of the Battalion was pull ed off in the early morning, when t ey went over the parapet and drov. Fritz back nearly a mile. Poor F 'tz hasn't any kick left except in ma hine guns and art- illery. Soon after daylight the wound- ed and prisoner: began to come back. Fritz evide : ty likes the novel- ty of being take. prisoner. All I did was to run for stretchers twice, take one messag back and one for- ward to our new line. The last one furnished some xcitement all right for the shells . sisted on coming pretty close. Co ing back I spoiled my day by getti g lost; spent the night in an open trench in the rain, and as I expected the Battalion would be relieved that same night came back to the base the morning and reported. I got nto some Imperial trenches, which ritz was shelling for all he was orth and a couple got too close. Yo see our work is to keepup cora unication - between the line and Head • uarters. The phone is used when pos • tole, but when too many shells coin : the messages are carried. I was wishing I had had time to get a souvenir, but couldn't wait to look; and the good ones were all picked up before anyway. I did get a bayonet, but threw it away when I was lost I have met a big bunch of fellows here. Coming up we met some battalions coming out of the trenches and aw quite a few of the 39th Signal Corps, also Capt. Jewett. Then 1er I found d Andy Archibald, Alex. McLeod and today coining home me Howard Hays and Fred Weir. They re looking fine and I was certainly lad to see them. Four or five of r Fourth Univers- ity Company bo were with them, too. One of the fficers of the gist Can We Do Leas When the Need Is Greater ? The County Council have decided to give a half mill or $21,150 to- ward the British Red Cross collece tion on Octeher 19th. Last year the total 'voluntslty contribution of Hurl on County on Trafalgar Day was $89,000. In other words, Huron County will , be giving $1'7,850 less; this year than in 1915, while the call for assistance is immeasurably greater to -day than since the war be- gan. It has been pointed out in an ur- gent, serious appealing letter, re- ceived by the Mayor, from the Sec- retary of the British Red Cross,that the half mild donation when applied to Seaforth, will leave our 1916 con- tribution $3,000 less than last year. Can we do ;less when the need is greater? The Secre ary further points out in unmistak$ble terms the greater need of thea British Red Cross � r ss So- ciety for funds to relieve .,'the suf- fering and nurse back to health and strength, the men who have been wounded in the great struggle for right and liberty. As the British -Red Cross does not confine its opera- tions to any one nation, but assists all allied nations alike, it is our DUTY to ccjntribute to an organiz- ation that is helping to care for our own Canadian wounded. The wound- ed have done', their duty; are your going to do Yours? We all know the great need of funds. Our duty is plain. If we have a spark of gratitude or patriotism in us we w' gladly contribute to the comfort of t e men who have fought for our hear hs and homes. There Wil be no canvassing. It should not be necessary.. The council, and Red Cress Society have decid- ed to open voluntary subscription fund from. October 19th to 28th in- clusive. Mr. John Beattie, the local treasurer, wi l receive your donations at the Vari ty Store. Five dollars and .a half ays for the ;mainten- ance of a ounded soldier for one week. If you cannot pay for one sold- ier for a w ek pay for a day, but pay for a month if you are able. Seaforth set the pace for Hur- on County last year. Do your share, give what yen can, and we will set the pace again. If you are LOYAL you will WANTI TO GIVE! Ha'ry Stewart, Mayor. Miss J..Case, Pres. R.C.S. J. Beattie, Local Treas.,BR.C.S. was W. McQ?u en of Brucefield. He played full back for Knox College. is didn't get a Chance to have a word with him, and on Friday I saw him go down the trench wounded in the arm and •leg. We are back for .a rest now; rain all last night, and not a dry stitch on. If you send a parcel soon send a pair of socks, a small towel and soap, writing paper, and of course eats Of : any kind. Everything is fine with + us and if things go as well every time Kaiser Bill should ' soon have his mind made up. Write soon and often; Love to all. T.E.G. September 20th. Didn't get t is posted yet, so will, add some. We ave been marching ford the last two ays in continual rain and of course wet weather gets one's feet, but well halted in this little vile lage and were placed in billets fair -d ly comfortable. There are not any' stores, only' t'wo or three places where a window opens and reveals a few cans ofruit and some chocos late. One would never believe that people live in France as those folk do. No progres sems to have bee made for ages, Well, I'll try to ge this away this time. Give my best t the folks. Love from T.E.G. FROM CLIVEDEN, ENGLAND. The following interesting descrip- tion of the destruction of Zeppe- lin is fr m an old, Seaforth boy, now at the Duchess of Connaught Canadian 'Red,' Crosti Hospita, Cli eden, Eng. 1 He says: October 2nd, 1916. Last night was a big night at camp here. At 10:30 we had to put all lights out on account of an approach- ing Zeppelin raid. Well the sky bac of us was just one mass of search lights, you cannot imagine how won derful it is until you see it yourself and when we arrived home we watch:, ed them for quite a long time. About twelve o'clock the anti-aircraft gun started firing very heavily and w could see the flash of the guns ver painly. Then all of a sudden th searchlights concentrated oft one spot and then the guns quit firing an the searchlights went out and w were just going to turn in to go tdo bed when we were startled by the place turning as bright as day. Here was Mr. Zepp coming down, an im+ mense blazing mass. It vias a won+ derful sight aid then you could hear the cheering from all sides of the country, factory whistles blowing, etc. The Zepp came down twenty-five miles froze here, so you can: guess it was up pretty high when it caused such a fine sight from here. It sure is great sport , and just to think that is four we have brought down inside of a month—pretty good. ese THE OGILV'Il MILLING COMPANY The annual statement of Ogilvie Flour Mills Co., Ltd., which was presented to the shareholder, s at ;the annual meeting last Thursday after - non, more than fulfilled the expecta- tions of an excellent showing by earnings during the year ending Aug- ust 31, 116; Having amounted to 25 per cent. on the common stock. In this 'connection 'Vice -President W. A. Black points out that the company's reserves as represented by a contin- gent ace -punt, and the balance at credit of profit and loss at the end of the previous year, are also cap - 114 and that taking this into consid- eration makesthe return about 1$ per cent. McLEAN BROS., Publishers $L50 a Year in Advance Profits for the year were V774,- 270, which with the balance of 512,- 060,` brought forward from the pre- vious year, pernlitted the company to provide for war taxes'for two years. pay bond 'interest and an incised dividend, and carry $334,270 to the credit of profit and loss account, which now stands at $846,330. In the statement, profits on flour and "other profits" ate not separated, as last year, and the profits for the year are given after instead of before deduction of bond interest and after allowing for two years' war tax.

THE COLLEGIATE SPORTS - The annual Field Day in connection with the Collegiate Institute was held on Friday last and although the day was wet and cold, the weather man did not prevent the - affair this year from being a great success as the different events were run off in the skating rink, which made an ideal1 c p a e for the sports. The staff and school wish; to tender a hearty vote of thanks to Messrs. Jas. Hinch- ley and H. R. Scott for their untiring efforts in making the affair a suc- cess, and also tee the otherdonors of the different prizes and to the Rink Association for the use of the skating rink.

Owing to the development of the rural mail service the volume of busi- ness at the office has so fallen off that the Department no longer con- siders it profitable or necessary. The St. Helens office was the first to be opened in that part and served the pioneer settlers of Wawanosh and Kinloss for some time before an o i ce was opened at Lucknow. —It is with much regret we are called on to chronicle the death of Mr. Donald Fisher,' of ' Wroxeter, who succumbed on Wednesday of last week after a long and painful illness Mr. Fisher was in his 72nd year.

The bill of fare provided by the ladies of the con- gregation was in a cord with the splendid reputation of the Ethel lad- ies. The programme was the best that has been given in Ethel for a long time. —D, S Clufi received the sad.. news on Thursday morning of the death of his son, Pte. George New- man Cloff, who was serving with the 3rd Canadian Divisional Supply Column of the Mechanical Transport of pneumonia. Pte. +fluff enlisted .in Clinton in February of this year, leaving .for thefront about the mid- dle of April, where he has been in the thick of it most of i the time since, but in all his letters: home excepting his last - written September 26th, in which he said that for the first time since going overseas he was not feeling as well as usual, he al- ways expressed himself as "never beitig as well and happy in his life and proud of the chance to do his bit." - PERTH NOTES —After many me nths of failing health and pain, death relieved the sufferings of Mr. David Adair, of the 16th concession of Logan, east of Monkton.
