Not many OV711121M of ne individual =Tait, and entart fewer of the larger breeders, cared to telle risk or to foot the bill, becasnee the prize money to be W081 at the smaller fairs would not even pay for the food consumed end the advertising value was scarcely worth the risk. To -day, a farmer or a breeder can load his individual, his poultry, his hogs, his sheep, Ins herd or his horses on a truck at his barn in the morning, exhibit at a fair fifty miles distant and be home again early the same night. And, moreover, farm- ers and breeders are beginning to th. just this thing. Where it was prac- ticable, from a monetary or advertis- ing reason to attend a single fair in a year yesterday, it is even more practicable for similar reasons to at- tend fifteen or twenty fairs to -day. All of which is to the fair's benefit. Nor is the countty fair as a social centre losing its hold. No place in any public gathering will one see the same opportunity of friend meeting friend, of discussing the affairs of family or the affairs of the country, nor the freedom in these discussions as one will see at the country fair. No, the country fair is not a thing of the past, far from it. Rather would we say from the signs we have mentioned, and there are others, that it is alive, even a growing institution of this country. CHORES TO DO A writer in the Christian Herald says that about all the use the mod- ern boy in the towns and cities, puts his hands to in the home, is the use of his knife and fork. He has n3 chores to do. Perhaps not entirely true, but still there is enough truth in the state- ment to make one wonder if that is not the cause of much of the modern boys discontent with home and much of the cause of his pace outside of it /1,ilodern inventions in the home and modern ways of living have done a- way with the chores that used to fall to the lot of the boy. There is no kindling to split, no wood to carry. The home garden as it used to be is largely a thing of the past. There are no berries to pick, no potatoes to hoe. The garden is a lawn now and a boy doesn't have to weed a lawn. He has a power mower to cut them as well as the grass, or rather fathee or some one else does it for him. There are no cows in the town now to milk; no horses to feed and curry; no harness to clean and no buggies to wash. There is no shopping to do no errands to run. That is all done over the telephone. The town and the highway authorities shovel all the snow in the winter, and frigidaire makes it unnecessary for the boy to bring in ice from the old ice house in summer. In fact the modern boe has not a thing to do, and he :s find- ing it increasingly hard to do it. And yet it is all wrong to say that the modern boy does nothing but play There is nothing on earth creates a greater zest for play than work. Too few modern boys have learned to work, too few have a zest for play. it is easier to take it from ..the news- papers or over the radio. That is why there is scarcely a hockey team, a lacrosse team, a football team, a ball team or any other sport in any small town in Ontario to -day. Twenty years ago every town had a team in some line of sport that the town was proud of and both team and community benefited by. And before that time, there were small towrs in Ontario, internationally known through their amateur sport teams. But twenty years ago and before there were chores for the boys to do and the boys were much the better for them. THE COUNT 17' Y F 11R For several years the wise old arm- chair prophets and statesmen have been predicting the death of the coun- try fair. They have been saying that the automobile has so widened the vision of the people on the farm that the annual fall fair has no longer a place in country life. That no longer are people interested either as exhibi- tors or as spectators. Well, is that so? The Expositor has attended most of the fairs held in the county this fall, and judging by the number and excellence of the live stock entries, not to mention the indoor departments of these fairs, and the attendance, we would say that the dismal predictions of these wise ones were wide of the mark, very wide indeed. In fact the automobile, or rather the truck, is bringing to these fairs a vairiety and number of stock exhib- its they never had even in their balm- iest days. At the Seaforth Fair this year there were exhibitors from at least four outside counties, who brought their stock entries in trucks. And it as good stock, the kind of stock one used to travel long distances to the larger fairs to see. The truck has widened the terri- torial bounds of the country fair from ftve or ten miles to fifty or a hun- dred, and live stock breeders are be- ginning to see new possibilities in the countty fair as an advertising med- ium for themselves and for their stock. The large and successful breeds in Ontario have always ex- hibited at the larger fairs like Lon- don end Toronto, and occasionally the towner of a super animal has also been tempted to bear the expense of ngsibiting at these fairs or others, hips, not quite so large, but still et Considerable &Stance. But for the fartser with an In.*victual animal, the ans411 bre.arkar or even the big ones to othltait cst raw other 1,iiass those in th'6411-4tIn locate vas out of the 4tAt4titt, bo*atto2 tie arsviaao.

The deceased passed away in London, where he had been for near- ly a year and his remains were brought here by his sons on Friday evening last and the funeral was held on Monday last from the home of his son, Milton, and interment made in Baird's cemetery. The funeral ser- vice was conducted by Rev. R. Con- ners, of St. Andrew's United Church, of Kippen, assisted by the Rev. A. Sinclair, of the United Church, Hen - sail, and the pallbearers were six nephews. The funeral was a private one. The deceased was well and fav orably known for his many and ex- cellent sterling qualities and was an Elder in the Presbyterian Church at Hillsgreen for many years before the Union. For the past nine years he was a sufferer from ill health, his once robust constitution being under- mined by that distressing disease known as asthma, which told heavily on his heart and general health and leading to his decease in his sixty- ninth year. He is survived by his wife, four sons and two daughters, the names of his sons being Milton, Ross, Grant and Glenn, and his daughters, Mrs. Albert Keys and Mrs. John E. McEwen. He is also survived by three brothers, William, Andrew and James and three sisters, Mrs. Alex. McMurtrie, Mrs. Peter Fishei and Mrs. William Randall. Thus one by one the early residents of this section are passing away, but will be long remembered by those nearest and dearest to them. C They Do Not Forget.—To show how carefully and methodically the Brit- ish do their part in connection with wars and looking after the graves of the fallen soldiers, we have a con- crete case of it in the instance of the late son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Wilk- inson, a few miles east of our village, who was known as Corporal Thomas Wilkinson, and who paid the supreme sacrifice at a battle near Arras, in France. Corporal Wilkinson when but a young man of 21, enlisted for service with the 161st Huron Betel - lion, but was afterwards transferred to the 58th Battalion, and his grave was marked in the usual way with a cross of wood nicely lettered, giving his name, age, battalion, etc., and the date of his death, which was early in the war. Just this week the wooden cross was returned tb Mr. Wilkinson so that he could preserve it as a prec- ious but sad heirloom. The message with the sending of the cross that a permanent headstone or monument had been substituted. Thus it will be seen that the British do not forget, with the lapse of years, the noble young men who had enlisted for King and Country and laid down their lives that others might live and have free- dom. Y. P. S.—The regular meeting of the Young People's Society was held in Carmel Presbyterian Church on Monday evening, September 23rd, op- ening with the president presiding. Hymn 559 was sung, followed by the Lord's Prayer in unison. The Scrip- ture lesson was taken from Gal. 6 read by Miss Beryl Pfaff. The minutes were then read and adopted, after which Hymn 775 was sung. The topic vrhich was "What does Jesus mean by cross bearing?' was taken by Miss Ruby McLaren. A talk was then giv- en on the summer school, which was held in 'Ioronto by our delegate, Miss Alice Walker, which was very inter- eeting. This was followed by the businese part of the meeting. It was decided to answer the roll call next nieeting by the name of some great man or woman in laistory.
