Pirticularly is that so this year. Frost has been late in coming' and the follage 'has remained on the trees, ehanging day by day in shade until the trees on the streets, en the 'highways, and in the woods have be- come a blaze of color. People halve travelled the world over in search of beauty of scenery. many Canadians among the number, while right in Canada the autumn foliage presents a scene of beauty that is unsurpassed and seldom eq- ualled by any .the great world pos- sesses. Canadians are fortunate; those in "Huron County especially so. No people in the world are more favored than we are in the autumn of the year. Both beauty and abundance are ours. sec Can You Pass A Crippled . Child? (Continued from page 1) by the Lions Club to restore to health and strength and a life of usefulness the under -privileged child. Case No. 5.—Child 16 months old, with ,bow legs, likely rachitic in type, a condition very common in udder - nourished children. Child will re- quire bow leg splints. 'Case No. 6.—This child is tea years of age and had infantile paralysis at 9 months. Splintage was provided at that time and continued until about five 'years ago, when it 'was dropped without advice in the matter. At this timethere is a shortening of the left leg and a moderate degree of par- alysis in the right. The spine has a postural curve but there is no indi- cation of braces or splints for the epine. But there will have to be a Hok. operation for the foot and a tendonesis when he is 12 years of age. In the meantimie he should have a knee to heel splintage on the left with alterations in the we.dg- ing of the sole and heel of the shoe. This case affords a splendid example of the untiring efforts of the Lions Club to discover aid correct crippled children cases, They deserve the support of this community in their annual drive for funds. Do not buy tickets with the idea of winning any- thing but with the idea of doing your little bit fo help make this a happier community in which to live; a place Nyhere you will not witness the sad sight of seeing some child 'crippled 'for life through lack of funds to as- sist them back to health The ag- ency:is here to do the work—help them with your money. rase No. 7.—This bey is 17 years old, He has shoulder and upper arm weaknese. There is no paralysis any place. The wasting of the arm is due - to disuse. The function of the arm is disturbed mainly becaese of ankylosis of the elhow jOint.

If pain continues :will have to have Thomas heel. • Trouble Abroad News from the old worldwhich has been disquieting for some time. has reached a certain point of crisis during this week. • Germany has withdrawn from the Disarment Conference at Geneva and has stated her intention of 'withdraw- ing from the League of Nations. In these, times of stress, • which seem to be world wide, these facts do not make pleasant reading. Even worse is the general feeling that the whole of Europe is sitting. on a powder barrel from which the lid has been removed and veey near to which the German Chancellor is waving a lighted torch. From ,this distance it is impossible to say what the real conditions in Germany are. Rumors are too many and too varied. One thing, however, is certain, and it should have a quieting effect on the' nerves of other nations and that is that no matter how great the Ger- man Chancellor's or the German peo- ple's will to make war may be, they have not now and will not have for some . few years 'either the arms or the ammunition to carry on war. But while war may not be immin- ent, it will always be on the horizon as. long as the war spirit controls the minds of one or more of the European nations. Europe has great need of cool heads and clear minds. and she. has. neamY statesmen possessing these qualities. It is unlikely that one. man will be permitted to make ienother war. We Thought It Was A Lost Art In common with many people we thought that walking was a lost art, a lost uleasure, a")ost meth( d of transportation, or whatever one pleas- ed to call it. To bear out this contention one has only to point out the bicycles racked beside our schools during° school hours. Or to point out the cars represent- ing thousands of d -s which are parked every day lere our Col- legiate Institutes. Or to carry the argument a little further, and to a little more de,finite conclusion, to point to the cars, re- presenting hundreds of thousand% of dollars which are parked every day about the buildings in even our small- est of eolleges. It was stimewhat with amazement, therefore, that we read the other day where a 63 year old resident of Col - ling -on -00d had walked to the Chicago e Fair, a distance of seiren hundred males and accomplished the feat in sixteen days, or an average of some- thing over 39 miles a day._ Great as that feat was in the light of present day eyes, there was a time When it would not have been consid- ered worthy 'of newspaper That was the time of the pioneer. In those days walking was the main nrode of transportation; a work of necessity or qf pleasure if one 'wish- ed to view it front that angle. iBut however much our pioneer fathers may have enjoyed walking, their destination on their tours was luote apt to be a market than a world's fair. And they didn't travel light either.

One of Exeter's eopn1ar young IYUs- Was • 1 HENSALL Apprenticed ' It has often been remarked how well mechanics front the Old Country have learned their tratles and what long terms they had to serve with their .employers. Mr. G. W. Davis, of the Hensall Man- ufacturing Co., Hensall, can cer- tainly verify this by showing his indenture of apprenticeship with a large wholesale clothing com- pany in Bath, Somerset, England: This indenture was made in dup- licate and was dated 1st July, A, D. 1895 for a term of five years service and called for very little remuneration for the first year or so, but with a small ad- vance for the following years and contained very binding terms for the apprentice to live up to. For instance, he had to be on hand for service both day and- night when called for; must not con- tract matrimony; mut not play at dice or. any other unlawful or questionable game; must be faith- ful in all respects to his em- ployers and retain all their sec- rets and in every way prove himself faithful and energetic. Few nowadays would be willing to comply with such strict terms 'with such small remuneration. That Mr. Davis, however, filled the bill is evidenced by the certi- ficate that may be seen on the back of the indenture signed by the firm, stating that their ap- prentice had given them entire satisfaction during his term That Mr. Davis is an expert member of the firm now engaged here in the making of clothing, is not to be wondered at from the excel- lent training he received in Eng- land. ° • 0 0 • iness won -ten, Miss Grace Isobel Creech, bookkeeper with Mr: H.

It ap- pears that Mr. Marriotte was up in the hay Mow throwing aown hay for the stock and had the, lantern with him, and leaving, it on the stable floor. As be came down the ladder to feed what he had thrown down he was shocked to see the flames shoot up in the hay whichquickly spread to all parts of the barn', burning it to the ground with all its contents, as at that early hour in the morning there Were few around to act quick- ly and /the flames soon ,became a sedthing inferno of fire. 'With the help of neighbors he managerd"to -get his horses and cattle out but some eighteen pigs in an_ adjoining shed were burned. In fact everything was destroyed With the exception of the live stock as 'mentioned, which with all the. Seasons crop and all the im plernents means a great loss to Mr. Marlette and 'particularly so with the _winter coming on. Some insurance was carried which will help out to a certain extent. Much sympathy is felt for him. The house caught fire during the burning of the 'barn, but fortunately the fire was fought and the ddvelling saved. The fire, no doubt, started by some .of the hay thrown down from the mow coming in con- tact with the lighted lantern. Mr, Fred G.

There was a good at- tendance land at the close of the ser- mon Miss Grace Stone and Mrs. J. Varley rendered very pleasingly that fine duet, "The Old Rugged Crass." Three young men of the congregation, namely Robert and John Varley and J. !Wilson, assisted 'Capt. Morris in the opening part of the service. At the United Church Rev. Mr. Gardiner, of the United Church at Londesboro, delivered a very fine.dis- course on the text, "Thy Kingdoml Come,'.' and stressed how Christians shoukl de all in their power to bring about the coming of the Kingdom in its fullest and real sense and gave figures to show the very small ratio given for the advancement' of the Kingdom compared with that spent in luxuries. In short the sermon was a good practical one throughout. Mrs. George Hess very ably rendered a solo part in the anthem.

Carmel Presbyterian Church has de- cided to have their fowl supper on November 9th. The supper will be up to the usual standard and a spe- cial program is being planned. Citi- zens will do well to mark this date on their calendar. A strong committee representative of all denominations and fraternal so- cieties is endeavoring to collect food, clothing, grain and al) kinds of sup- plies to send out to the needy ones iPi the West and are aiming to get a car .load shipped from this station through offerings or 'gifts from all the neighboring villages and districts. Our council is accustomed, before the weather gets too cold and frost sets in, to get our cement sidewalks nicely repaired and new sections put in where repairing would not answer. The past week on the whole has been very favorable for the gather- ing of fruit, roots, .etc., and much has been secured. Shipping has been going on quite briskly at the railway station during the past week. The trees in the village and neigh- boring woods are now looking most beautiful with their autumn tints.
