There were also some splendidexhibits made by different merchants of the town, which added materially to the appearance of the hall. ,Although the weather on Monday did not give much promise for Tuesday, the big• day, the directors were very agreeably disappointed as the afternoon was Meal, being bright and warm, and as a consequence there was a very large atendanee And the quality and number of the live stock exhibits, fully mer- ited the turn out. Both light and Iheavy horse classes werethebest for I some time, the entry being large and . the quality right up to the Exeter I Fair standard, which in one instance at least was pronounced by &nape- ttent judges to be superior to any- thing seen this year at either Toronto or London. Cattle, sheep and pigs were also above the average in num-, kers and quality, and competition was keen in every class. Although the, heavy rain of the previous night made the track rather heavy, the two races were acrried out and created a good of interest during the afternoop. The gate recepits amounted to over $700, the_largest gate since the year 1908: The following is the list of the SUC- cessful_exhibitors. 1111111111111.1111111116 FiReCo Ranges The Great Fue1=Sairing Stoves, Cuts Fuel Bill in Half BURNS ANY KIND OF FUEL (Soft Coal, Hard Coal Wood or Slack) THE GREATEST STOVE INVEN- TION -OF THE AGE ENTIRELY DIFFERENT (Not built like other stoves) SAND SEALED JOINTS (Make Them Absolutely Air Tight) Better, Safer and more Economical than gas or electricity Ask for an Eiplallation OVER 8000 SATISFIED USERS IN CANADA I• Call and see this range, also The Gurney Royal Oxford, McClary's Pandora, Moore's Treasure Range, Happy Thought, and Doherty's High Oven.

Ford, B:W. As beans discolour and mould very readily, it is important to dry thean - as soon as possible, and to keep them dry. They should be spread out thin- ly under cover, and turned every two oe three days until "quite dry. If it is necessary to harvest the plants be- fore they are thoroughly ripe they can be hung up outside until dry. An- There will be many potatoes which I spec- will not ripen before the plants are . killed by the frost. If the fully- ' grown green specimens are picked be- fore being frozen, and each specimen wrapped in paper and stored in dlos- ed boxes, they ripen better than by exposing them to the sun: Even if put into closed boxes without wrap -- ping each specimen, they ripen well. Frequently cauliflowers are just be- ginning to head when it becomes ne- cessary to harvest them owing to se - v e frosts. If the plants are pulled, d replanted in boxes in the cellar, aifd kept watered, they will go on de- veloping, and one can have cauliflower for some weeks. Brussels. 'sproute can also be replanted in this way. Both of these vegetablemay, how- ever, be left in the ground for some weeks yet. . • e If eabbage begin to split and it not yet time to harvest them, the splitting will be prevented to some extent by twisting the plants so as to loosen there. , Thi e checks the flow of- sap int* i the 'head. If the - cellar is warm and dry- and the cab- bage have to be harvested owing to the frost, they will keep well for a time outside if covered with leaves. Where the accommodation is poor, celery may be kept outside in the soil. well into the -wiener by opening a trench, preferably a narrow one fifteen or sixteen -inches wide, and deep en- ough so that the tops of the celery will come about level with the surface of the ground. The celery plants are put close togethert_in it, and before there are severe frosts, a thin layer of straw or leaves in put over the top. When the cold weather comes a heavier covering of leaves may be - put over, if it te desirable to leave the celery longer, and then twelve to fifteen inches of soil over that. By putting sufficient 'leaves or straw over the soil again, frost may be - keit out ,and the celery dug out as required,. In harvesting potatoes, any of which show signs of decay should be kept separate from the rest, and used first, thus helping to avoid the development . of rot when stored. Potatoes should be dry when they are stored. Squashes, pumpkins and citrons should lie kept in a moderately warm, not a - cool, place. deps, Miss C. Sweet; carnisol , B. W. F.

I hope his life will be spared for many years to come. I certainly would like to have a long chat' With him. On the 5th and 6th concessions of McKillop . were some hospitable homes where in the long ago, II used to roam, but the good pioneers i who used to own them are all now recorded with the dead and their children' scat- tered far and wide, some of who* have joined the silent throng. I Wish old Father Time would reverse the hands of his colek for forty years; but alas, I know the wish is in vain. Onward, always, never backward, I imagine wpuld be his reply. ° Now we will change the subject to the most stupendous event of modern times. The awful war, still goes on with the Huns at times on the run and the fierce fighting Allies giving them no rest. OId Von Hindenburg, when he started his drive for Paris on Mara 2-st, was as sure as the sun lose in the east, that he and his IHUTL- nish hosts would be in that beautiful city by April lst, but he certainly was ° badly April fooled, thanks to the indomitable fighting qualities of Sir Douglas Haig's troops and the mag- nificent courage of the troops of chiv- alrous France. But, oh, it was a ter- rible game to play and it looked black for a time and with less determined troops the day would have been lost for the Allies. Owing to his failure to make good it would almost look as; if Kaiser Bill (now known as the Beast of Berlin) had thrown Von Hindenburg into the waste basket or relegated him to the scrap pile of Hun failure. But since July 18th, the scene has changed; the Huns are being driven back, at trees they are on the run, Bulldog Great Britain is fighting with indomitable energy and determination; her troops covering themselves with glory; the gallant sons of fair Canada and the fighting demons of Australia with irresistible force, helping to smash the ranks of the Hunnish hosts. The desperate fighting sons • of fair France like tigers, are hurling themsebies'on the barbarian invaders, mewing Ahem - down, smashing their ranks and haft- ing to hurl them back -from the soil of France and violated Belgium, and now with the intrepid and dashing Yankee boys in the fighting line upon the blood-soaked battlefields of France, everything is beginning to look bright for the. Allied cause and in 1919 if not sooner the Hunnish hosts of But- cher Bill will be hurled back onto Hun - land soil and driven pell well towards Berlin where they and that city will have to capitulate to the Allied arm- ies, who are fignting so that freedom and liberty may be assured to all civ- ilized peoples and nations of the world.

The Warden's committee had examined the premises on the previous Saturday company with a commit- tee of the Soeiety, and tome iniprove- neents and =alterations were •deeided: upon, which are to be made forthwith.. The committee also agreed to furnish - some of the staple articles needed in - the equipment of the house. Offers from the Women's Institutes of Gode- rieh and Clinton to assist in furriisli- ing the house have been received and gratefully acinnewledged, and dona- tions of individual articles and partial sets have also been received from - several citizens of. the town. The Society will be glad to receive - from individuals or wiganizations in sympathy with the work, in any part of the county, donations of blankets, pillows sheets, towels, dishes and kit- chen Utensils, in fact anything that will be needed for the comfort and proper care of children and cash do- nations or supplies of provisions will also be very welcome. Write the. County Secretary, Mr. G. M• Elliott, and tell him what you can do for the work. Anyone who had been leresent at this last meeting would have readily realized the magnitude and importance of the Society's work, the eases of* negleeted or wayward children on the docket being more than could. be con- sidered at one •sitting. It is worth while quoting that three eases of cruelty to animals were reported as . dealt with, including one from the neighborhood of Exeter which was particularly cruel, but in which the defendant pleaded guilty and paid a stiff penalty. This ,too, is a work the Society prosecutes earnestly. It is hoped the new shelter -svill be sufficiently ready for use early in Octobens and the formal public op- ening will take place during County Council week' in December, when the Provincial Superintendent, Mee J. J. Kelso, and other workers are expect- ed to be present. Miss Eliza Fras- er, of Goilerich, Who has had severer years' experience in the work in large. centres, has been e gaged as matrofl. for the present. • - I ROBERT McNAUGHTO HARVESTING AND STORING While vegetables have been harvest- ed continuously in many gardens in Canada s since radishee and spinach were ready for use in early' ,spring l ., the time has come when the oulk of the crop must be gathered to escape —Mr. Samuel S epperd, of Dun- gannon, who went west 0/1 receipt of the news of the sudden death of his brother, John, at Innisfail, Alta., ar- rived home on Friday last accompan- ied by the remaine, which were in- terred on Saturday 'afternoon in Dun- gannon ceenetery. ,The funeral took place from the old Shepperd 'home- stead here, the services being conduct. - ed by Rev, J. .W.
