Shoes of Quality
for Boys
A real live boy—one that
is full of "ginger"—
should have the best of -
shoes. No other sort
will be suitable for his
business. We ask par-
ents to investigate the
special met it of our Boy's
Shoes!
They're different and bet-
ter Our shoes fit the
boys' feet correctly and
are made of such good
leather as box calf, tan
grain or gun metal, stur-
dy waterproof soles.

Auxiliary Gifts Appreciated. — The
following letter Was received this week
by the secretary of the Seaforth
branch of the Women's War Auxiliary
from Sergt.*Nial Murray; son of Mr.
John Murray, of Tuckersmith, in ack-
nowledgement of a parcel of socks
sent by the Auxiliary to him on the
Western front. , He says: "Your let-
ter received some time ago add the
parcel of socks arrived yesterday. It
is indeed goed of the ladies at home
to think of us, out here and to send
such a useful gift. t Hand knit socks
are always 'very much appreciated.
Jake Sproat is,
I think, the only other
Seaforth boy in .our battalion, so I
gave him •a pair of the socks. Of
course, I kept a pair for .myself. The
other five pairs were distributed a-
mong needful ones of my machine
gun `section, On behalf of the -lucky
boys and myself, I send hearty thanks
to the Seaforth Women's War Auxil-
iary.' The cold weather, prevalent
'here now, makes us all appreciate
them all the more. Thanks again.

Something of Interest to e" :rmers.—
Mr. James Hays, of Seaforth, has
Just shown us a report from the ex-
perimental farm, Ottawa, on the an
ysis of some lime stone which he sent
there to get a report as to its value
as a land fertilizer. The stones were•
from the quarry on his farm, lot 32,
concession 6, McKillop, and the report
is as follows: '1.hese sample are of
excellent quality and in every way
suitable for the production of ground
limestone for agricultural use being
96.43 Carbonate of Lime." It is Mr.
Hay's intention to. have a machine
placed in his -quarry this coming fall
for the manufacture of the fertilizer
which should be of great benefit to
the farmers in that vicinity as it is
being manufacured in some other parts
of the province and shipped extensive-
ly owing to its superior quality over
other expensive fertilizers.

Home From The Front. — Pte.
Emmett Kelly, son of Mrs. P. J.
Kelly, arrived home from England on
the late train Friday evening. Despite
the late• hour the train bearing the
brave young soldier was ma by a
large &lewd of citizens, who tendered
him a most enthusiastic reception. He
• was then escorted to the tovre hall,
where he wae.welcomed by the town
• officials and clergymen. Pte. •Kelly
enlisted with the 34th Battalion in
April, 19)5, and sailed for England m
• October of the same year. Shortly
• after his arrival in England he was
tansferred to the 42nd Black Watch
Highlanders and went to France in
March, 1916. He was in the machine
gun section and went through the.bat-
ties of Ypres, and the Somme, and was
wounded at Courcelette on September
27th. Pte. Kelly looks well, but on ac-
count of the left knee -cap being in-
jured his Ieg is stiff and he walks with
• the aid of a cane. He will shortly re-
turn to a convalescent hospital at Lon-
don, Ont

one has e vacant land around the

flowers or hrubs that will not only add
greatly totthe appearance of the prem-
ises but v 111 make the whole town
• more attractive. Any one who has
visited such towns as St. Catharines,
St. Thomas or Grimsby during the
past year or two and knew the same
town ten years ago is struck by the
remarkable improvement. That im-
provement is due almost wholly to the
• efforts of the Horticultural and Rose
Societies in interesting all the people
of the town. We already have some
'very attractive gardens in Seaforth,
but there should be more, and, if peo-
ple only considered that the expense
and work connected with a small gar-
den are very small, everyone would
find it to their advantage in many ,
ways to become interested. The Sea-
forthortic tural Society holds an
enviable position among the Horti- •
cultural Societies of the province, but
the membership is small and we in-
tend to double it this year. The an- '
nual fee is One Dollar, and as the So-
ciety receives a generous grant from '
the Government, it is enabled to giVe
to its members free bonuses of plants,

ue far exceeding the amount of the

Doing Good Work.—The Hamilton
•Herald ofa recent date contains the
following interesting account of the
work done at the military dental Clinic
in that city, which is in charge of Capt.
H .3. Hodgins, of this town. The
Herald says: "An interesting, but
yet little known phase of military ser-
vice in this city is the dental clinic,
which is located at the corner of King
and John streets, Here the health of
Ithe soldiers' teeth is looked after, and
this .forms a very important duty, as
every soldier before departing over-
seas must have his teeth in good shape.
Major (Dr.) W. G. Thompson is in
command of the Canadian Army Dent-
al Corps for No. 2 military area,
while the local clink is in charge of
Capt. .H. J. Hodgins. Capt. Hod-
gins has a' staff of expert dental op-
erators, including •Capts. Thornton',
Kennedy and Tucker and Lieut. Lar -
mer, together with six sergeants and
a ataff of mechanical dentists. , • The
clinichere has -te vstry enviable record
and. since ...itater.,, etablishinent on Nov-
ember 15 of lase year the work has
increased enormously. During three
months there were 23d patients ad,
Imitted and 6,502 operations perform-
ed. Many dt these were filling, a
large number were treated for tooth-
ache, etc. There were 607 examina-
tions, 1650 extractions, 800 treatments,
1706 fillings and 351 plates made of
all kinds. The clinic is up-to-date in
every particular'and is equipped with
five chairs. These are of the reg-
ulation overseas type, collapsible, and
will fold up into a small box,I which
makes them very easy to handle and
transport. Each of _these is fitted
• with the latest instruments of dental
surgery, ineluding fountain cuspidors,
etc., and all interuments immediately
after use are sterilized in an electri-
cal sterilizer by the orderlies A very
• interesting part -of the work is the
history sheets ofthe witious regiments
which are kept cte file at the clinic, but
handed over to the battalion -when it
departs overseas. The treatment ev-
ery man receives is inscribed on the re-
port, and when he arrives in England
it is known whether- or not he requires
further attention. Although not the
largest clinic in Canada, it does as
much work as all the other dental
hospitals in Canada, and has been
warmly complimented by district offi-
cers.'

Death of a Pioneer.—Another pio-

In the person of Conrad Deitz, at the
age of 84 years. The deceased emi-
grated to Canada in 1857, coming to
Stratford and few years later came
to McKillop and settled on the farm
on which he resided until the time of
Itis death. It was then a dense wil-
derness but he made it a modern
home. About 58 years ago he was
married to Miss Amstine of Logan,
Who predeceased him about 8 years
ge and his only daughter about 20
years ago. Re is survived by two -
sons, Henry on the homestead and
Fred on an adjoining farm. The fun-
eral took place on Friday last to the
Lutheran cemetery at Brodhagen. He
was a consistent member of the Luth-
eran church, all his life and was hon-
est and upright in his dealing, but did
not take much interest in public af-
faira.—The surviving sons have the
tsympathy of the whole coMmunity in
