Here are a few samples! On a tombstone in Bickleigh, these lines appear; “Here lie I at the chancel door; Here lie J because I’m poor. The further in the more you pay, But here lie I as good as they.” This epitaph appears in Bideford churchyard: “The wedding day appointed was, And wedding clothes provided; But ere-the day did come, alas! He sickened, and he dje did. The following lines are to found in Exeter Cathedral: /‘Here lies the body of Captain Tully, Aged a hundred and nine years fully; And threescore years before as Mayor, The sword Of this city he did bear. Nine of his wives do with him lie, So shall the tenth when she doth die.” be Canada has now more than 150,- 000 miles?of improved road Which are kept in, good condition during the touring’ season, and in some cases in winter as’ well as summer. In 1926 this country spent some $45,500,000 - in maintenance and •constuction of our roadways.

Because they’re filled is no guarantee that tires are fit for the road. They must be properly filled to the correct pressure for their size and load. Over that pressure, is uncomfortable — under it, is expensive. If you want good mileage, come in here once a week! Let our tire man test the pressure—gauge it, not guess it. Let him examine the casing for flints, metal splinters and nail ends. Better ten minutes wait at the Dominion Tire Depot than half an hour’s work on the roadside. * DOMINION TIRE DEPOT JOHN TAYLOR 'if AV * c Brantford Big Butt Asphalt Slates provide a roof of double and triple thickness, matchless beauty and life­ long protection— Brantford Big Butts also give a shadow line—adding greatly to the charm and distinction of your home.

Have noticed a great many nice things said about flowers in your paper and wondered if it were pos­ sible to appeal to the boys of the town, who want flowers for their sweethearts (when they ask for them) to go in and ask for them instead of destroying the plants and bushes as was the case a few weeks ago at my mother’s home in Exeter north. The pansies were pulled up by the roots and the snowball tree broken. She never refuses anyone flowers, in fact it pleases her to give them and if we are to keep our homes and lawns beautiful how can we do it when the boys persist in destroying. These boys were not North End boys and we know who they were and wondered how they would like it if our boys went down town and did the same thing to them. Even in the (Wa'rd) here in Toronto children and grown ups alike who have not had the chance our Exeter people have, know better and the blooms are left alone and along the sidewalks, too. I think it is thoughtlessness on their part and if appealed to, I think they would respond as they have in other cases,. Yours truly Sadye Walker RAIN MAY RUIN HAY CROP Haying operations, which are. now general on the farms of Southern Ontario, are being seriously imped­ ed by the continued heavy rains.

Mr. Hill’s invention does accurate work in the space of from five to ten minutes, and one of its best features is that it can be operated, and the lights of a- motor car properly set in full daylight, The old inaccurate method, which had to be carried out after dark, was to project the car lights on the side of a- wall, and then pull and push at them till it was thought they were fixed. Employment of Mr. Hill’s inven­ tion insures for every car tested light that is as near like daylight as possible, there are no streaks or bl«ts in it, and the driver can see from ditch to ditch, full 66 feet in width. The driver of the car gets the maximum illumination, and there is absolutely no glare for on­ coming motorists. The device, which is made of al­ uminum and steel, weighs about 100 pounds and can easily be moved where necessary, as it is mounted 911 four small wheels. Mr. Hill states that he has set the headlights of numerous Mitchell and tourjst Amerfcan cars with instant success. The lights are set and bal­ anced perfectly on. the same bevel so that'there is no lost light strength, of crossing the light rays from the two lights. Mr, Hill’s device will be placed on die market as soon as the necessary patents can be secured.
