TO OUR SUBSCii3ERS:
On and after October 1st, the subscription price of The
Expositor will be $2 instead of $1.50 as heretofore. The
reason for this is that du4ng the past four years the
price of newsprint has increased over 200 per cent. and
is still on the increase. Not only that, but the cost of
everything that goes into the make-up, of a newspaper
has increased considerably more than the increase of any
other line of business, until we are now_forced either to
increase our price or suspend publication as some two
hundred other papers have done in the past two years.
We have been forced to take this step by stern neces-
sity and we rely upon the intelligence and fairness of
our subscribers to back us up and we believe they will
do it. The increased price is a very small thing to the
individual subscriber, amounting to scarcely a cTent a
week, but this difference while insignificant to the indi-
vidual, in the aggregate will make the difference to us
of enabling us to pay our way and avoid a heavy annual
loss. We are sure there are not many who.. would be
without their accustomed weekly paper for the sake of
about three-quarters of a cent a week. We give a larger
amount of original reading matter every week than any
other purely local paper in the Province and our aim will
be to increase this.

For over fifty years The Expositor has striven to keep -
in the very front rank A of local Ontario journalism, and
that it has been fairly successful is proven by the •fact
that for long and until to -day The Expositor enjoys one
of the largest circulations of any purely local paper in
the Province, and that notwithstanding the immense
immigration there has been from this county and adjoin-
ing ones to the Western Provinces and other parts. We
need -scarcely say that our endeavor will be to retain The
Expositor in the same position and we,rely upon the con
siderationof our friends and subscrii?ers to assist us.
They have never gone back on us once during the long
years of our association' with them and we believe they
will not do so now.
Any subscription due before the 1st of October will
be at the old _price, $1.50, but after that date the price
will invariably be $2 without respect of persons.

some very plain truths when it says:
Threshing with its kindred work
and worry is here again-. 'Tis now
that the farmer will realize the fruits
of his year of toil. Again as in the
past, city critics will cry out against
the agriculturalists, saying that the kin, 'H. Clausius, C. Fritz; 'celery, J.
farmer e are grafters, out for the easy
money and endeavoring to keep the
cost of tieing at its present elevation.
Little do they know, these city
howlers, how well and truly has the
farmer earned his minute gains. It
would be well if we could have a few
of these folk on the job froni the
time the engine whistles at the gate,
and let them see the wolner, folk
hustling in the kitchen, squalling chil-
dren neglected on the back porchwhile
their mothers bake the endless string
of pies and other eatables, which will
disappear at an alarming rate when
noon arrives. Then down in the
barn they would see, dimly through a
cloud ef dust and thistle down,,
perspiring, half -blinded men, slaving
to feed a rapacious man.ster, hungrily
panting on the drive. floor, passing
sheaf efter heavy sheaf into that
gigantic rnaw. The city. man would
diseover that, this strange creature
has an insatiable appetite, demanding
many men to hat1/4dle its feed, hour
after hour, until at the end of the clay
their aching bodies can ne longer
keep the pace required, their burning
eyes are thick with dirt as they
stagger, choking to the outer air. The
thresher „stops his engine and at last
the monster rattles relucantly to
rest. Men troop with lagging feet
up to the house again to eat and, then
far into the night that farm kitchen
will re-echo with. the sound of clatter-
ing dishes as those tireless hotisewiv-es
clear away the last trace of an annual
terror, "The threshing day."

time that his life, could not be saved
as lock jaw had set in. Fortunately
he went to the hospital in the nick of
time, and under the treatment there
