B. Adair, of Peterboro on Friday of last week. 'The deceased who was nearly 84 years ,came to Clinton ffrom Kent, England, with her husband, John Brickenden, *bout 55 years ago, being among the :Mier settlers. They. settled ion the farm adjoining the London bridge, fere they built for themselves a log house.. For many years this place vas known as the Brickenden ' Flats," on which all the picnics were'held a- bout forty years ago. Later Mr. 3rickenden purchased the farm on the 'second concession of Hullett, where they continued to reside until their re- tirement in 1888, when they moved to Clinton, and where they continued to reside until the death of. Mr. Bricken- den, nearly seven years ago. Mrs. 3riekenden then moved to Midland, and later to Peterboro, to spend the remainder of her days with her young- " -est daughter, Mrs. Adair. The death took place on Thursday morning of last week of Captain Wm. Babb, one of the best known and much respected gitizens of Goderieh, who for forty years conducted the well known ,hotel tete Ocean House Captain Babb r was in his 77th year.• He was a na- tive of England and entered the Royal. Navy as a midshipman while a -boy. ,after € ompleting his apprenticeship and securing his papers as a first-class gunner, he served„ for quite a num- ber of years around the English coast .and in the Mediterranean, being on the gunboat Marlborough, commanded by Lieut. Fisher, now Rear -Admiral Fisher, of . the British Fleet. It was in 1860 that he first carne to Canada,. on the Gunboat Cherub, as first-class gunner, and the Cherub was used to patrol the Detroit River, guarding a- gainst.the danger of a Fenian invasion.: Re continued on the Cherub and at the time of the Venezuela insurrection the Cherub was engaged in patrol duty re- e West Indies. In 1870 h e -- urged to Englandeon the gunboat Re=, avenge and shortly afterwards-, came to Canada again, this time in compa4y With Robert Roberts, who predeceased 'nim not so long ago.

NIGHT ATT ACK IST A TANK . A young Australian soldier has re,. .corded hour by hour his experiences in a tank during a night attack on the Somme front. ` The following are ex- tracts: S p.m.—Worse than the fog of war. Out in it Only able to crawl at - snail's pace. Groping after Frit, like a game of blind man's buff. Sud- denly a great glare in the sky. Flash of guns every where.

APPEAL TO FARMERS. For two years and a half, war, red and ruinous, has raged through the world, and still no decision has been reached. There is reason to .hopethat• before 1917 closes the struggle for lib- erty will have been won, or greatly ad- vanced. Amid the varying phases of this titanic conflict the fact stands out more clearly than ever that agriculture is of supreme importance. Eetraordi- nary. measures are being taken by the allied countries to increase and encour- age production. It is earnestly h aped that every farmer in Canada will strive to increase the food supply of the Em- pire. A still .powerful -and unscrup- ulous iii on ` its `lata Mous enemy openly svo�vs to try and sink all ships carrying sup- plies to England during the corning year. In the tremenduous strain `yet to coxae a vital factor will be an ample and unfailing flow of food a England and France. No matter what difficul- ties may face us, the supreme duty of man on' the land is to ue every every hought' and every energy in the direc- tion of producing more, and still more.
