CREDO I believe it is better to be kind than cruel; better to be true than false; better' to be chaste than unclean; better to be rev­ erent than cynical; better to face life with cheerfulness, than with despair; better to trust God and do good, what­ ever doth happen. So do I believe; help thou I my unbelief. —Selected, i EDITORIAL THAT LIGHT Every night demonstrates the nec­ essity of all vehicles using the high­ ways after dark being provided with lights.. Complaints are heard every day of the peril incurred by a non- observance of this precaution. Even the most moderate and careful driv­ ers are heard telling of hair-breadth escapes from serious accident on ac­ count of the. coming upon unprotect­ ed vehicles unexpectedly. Only the other evening the writer came upon a farmer whose wagon had been up­ set and his load scattered because liis outfit had been struck by a heavy car. The farmer himself was badly shaken, while the horses were in a nervous condition that foreboded theii' bad conduct in the future whenever a car overtook them at night. The car was seriously dam­ aged and the motorist determined to seek redress in the law courts. Farmers, as well as motorists, should remember that when one is killed in a motor accident, he is like­ ly to stay dead for a considerable length of time. It is equally true that most folks require to be killed but once. It is still further true that a lantern with an appropriate lantern glass can be bought for a few cents. Why, then, should the folly be repeated of driving any out­ fit in a manner that invites death, and, what some people dread more than death—a heavy bill of expense? 4 * V * * * X* * * A HEALTHY LOCALISM Every man has the right to spend iiis money and effort where they will bring him the best returns. To restrict this right is to destroy free­ dom. But it is not everyone who knows where he gets the best re­ turns from his efforts and the mom ey spent. The business man who charges an unreasonable price for his goods is a public enemy. He drives trade away from his own locality. Men may trade with him for a while for patriotic purposes or for personal reasons but. his career as a business man is doomed. The purchaser who sends his cash out of town when Im can secure as good values at his door is a public enemy. He is keep­ ing money.out of the pockets of the business men who .support the local schools and churches, who build the local roads, and who sees to it that the municipality carries on. A healthy localism consists in making the best use of local oppor­ tunities. No healthy-minded mer­ chant asks any man to trade with him at a loss. All trade is built up­ on the principle of the mutual ad­ vantage of all parties thereto. All that any local merchant looks for is that the men and women with local wants shall give him an opportunity to cater to their requirements. When local merchants cannot or do not give such would-be purchasers a square deal no one need complain if the seeker looks for more enlight­ ened merchandisers. Distant pastures look green. Bar­ gains from afar have all the charm of novelty. Yet the fact remains that there is an advantage in trad­ ing with the man who must sink or swim as he meets the needs of the men and women within his own ken. Eminently unsatisfactory fe' it to trade with the fly-by-nights. These gentry neither toil nor spin in the interests of local welfare. Their only ambition is pick up hard-earn­ ed dollars and then to vanish where they can be neither kicked nor jail­ ed -for their offences. Oil drillers are sinking a well on a farm north of Grand Bend. The new Lakeside golf course helped to put this popular Summer reisort on the map last summer and If the oil drillers succeed in their quest it will bring further notoriety to the dis­ trict, i THIS *N THAT Beans will provide some ready money for the farmers who grew them and were fortunate enough to harvest them in good 'condition, * * >[! * * * * * * How many motorists will get caught with frozen radiators when the first hard frost comes? * $ $ jfc * * $ £ Santa Claus is due for a lot of newspaper space.

It has been next to impossible to meet the demand for farm help during the summer season when the farmer needed it most, but there is already evidence that there are men who will be glad to snuggle up to a warm fire, sleep in a comfortable bed and get three square meals on the farm for the coming winter. *** * Xi * Farmers in this community are again turning their attention to su­ gar beets and many aicres are being contracted for for next season. Can­ adians have a sweet tooth and no doubt the farmers are hoping to make some real money by furnish­ ing the raw product. Xi XI * * * * * * i If prosperity is just ahead for Canada and Western Ontario in par­ ticular as some of the leaders in in­ dustry are at present predicting, the citizens of Exeter will want to get in at the start. The first opportun­ ity for Exeter will be to secure the Columbia Handle Works which will give employment to between twenty- five and fifty employees, mostly men. « »I X* Xi Xi X* Xl 4 T. H. Elliott in his advertisement says that he is not running for reeve or councillor but that he is soliciting the support of the public. Perhaps T. H. has had a tip from some who are, or who have been, in municipal office to the effect that the public does not always support the men who are trying to serve them. One thing a public servant is sure of is criticism. $ Sft # # # # Hi It has been stated that cheap hy­ dro power would be a factor in in­ ducing industries to locate in small centres away from high rents and labor toubles. Exeter will be among those of the smaller centres to have the opportunity of securing just such an industry in the Columbia Handle factory, an old established firm of London, which is re-organizing and branching out. Both the firm and Exeter should benefit. * 4 4 X< XI >;< Xi 4 * Workmen are engaged in putting in wider culverts and bridges on th© highway between Exeter and Hen­ sail preparatory to putting down the new concrete road next summer, When one stops to think of the tre­ mendous cost in money and the ter­ rible toll in lives and bodily injury caused by accidents owing to the nar­ row roads and bridges and the turns on the London road south of Exeter, he i'S. led to realize that the new road cannot be built too soon. The amount of money entailed in the ac­ cidents would go a long way towards paying for the new road. SS 4 4 4 X> * X< X< Xi Travellers for the building trades tell us that Exeter for several years lias been leading most of the smaller towns in Western Ontario in the matter of building and this year has been, no exception. With the re­ modelling of the James St. Sunday school rooms; the addition to the Exeter school; the rebuilding of the rink and the erection of five new houses the contractors have been fairly busy. Next year it is hoped that there will be something* doing along the lines of a new postoffice and should there be a new fifteen thousand dollar factory to be erected Exeter will again be on the building map. THE GIRLS OF TODAY From far and near they come down street, Ariooking mighty pert and neat; Good healthy Color, well-shod feet, They never, .never seemed more sweet. ■ $ & Their style of dress, admit we must, Beats trailing skirts down in the dust; And as for manners, form and grace, Could man ask more and stand the pace? We’ve thought it over long, with care, That they know best jqst what to / wear, So, women, girls—you ladies all— Wear what you like in Spring or Fall. “Man wants little here below,” May have referred to skirts, who knows? But be as it may, you bet, We wouldn’t have you change, not yet. But if you plan to make "em” shorter, We really think you hadn’t orter!

SNAPPY SENTENCES Sometimes ignorance may be bliss, but knowledge is more fun. Scolding is so unchristian that it is .no wonder Chriistiafis do it badly. The critic who begins with him­ self will be too busy to take outside contracts. Loving the lovable is no trouble. But the unlovely have the greater claim. He is a wise speaker who does not mistake a terminus for a branch-line junction. Are you one of those who are equal to any task, or are you too good for some. Some speeches ought to be la­ belled, “Portrait of the author, painted by himself.’’ Listening to a speech that is all introduction is like getting stuck in a revolving door. Of all thorns in the flesh that men must endure, the candid friend is about the thorniest. Any new religion will get a fol­ lowing if it is strong on doctrine and easy going on practice. He who can gain the confidence of a dog, a child, and a squirrel has the right sort of a heart in him. Be glad for a friend who would rather hurt your feelings than let you suffer loss or run into danger. Every advance puts the goal of all advance a little farther off. That is what makes life worth living. ; —Onward So far— and yet so near! *‘I must call John by Long Distance and let him know I got here all right. Then neither of us will be worry­ ing. It’s wonderful to be able to visit you like this, and yet keep as close touch with home as if I were there. What must it have been like in the old days, before Long Distance made it possible?” place the call for you while you are taking off your wraps.” “That will be fine. Just ask for our number, 124, so I’ll get the cheaper Statian-to- Station rate. In a couple of days I’ll call up again, in the evening, so I can have a few words with the children, too. The Evening Rate after 8.30 is really very low.” "Beery Bell Telephone fc d Long Distance Station.” HARVEY S. FIRESTONE, like Henry Ford, has restored his boy­ hood, home. “There is nothing I like better than to leave this office and go ■down in the country to the spot, in boyhood, I knew so well,” says Mr. Firestone. “The cares of owning a big home are not what they are cracked up to be. “Dowd there in the country I can pull my chair up to the kitchen table and help myself to anything that is on the board without being expected to wait until someone serves me. Food tastes better, too. Fresh from the garden and cooked the simple way—no frills in the cooking, no frills in the serving and and no frills in the eating. “That’s what I «all enjoying my­ self.” Incidentally, over week-ends, in the summer, that is where he is most likely to be found rather than at his pretentious home in Akron. THE HURON POTATO KING Chesley Enterprise For years John Joynt, ex-!M.L.A., of Lucknow was known as the “Ash King.” He made piles of money buying ashes pot only in points throughout Bruce and Huron, but at different points in Canada and fhe Eastern States. But when coal supplanted wood, the klinkers couldn't be used like the wood ash to make an alkali known as pearl ash to treat the fatty matter in mak­ ing soap, and so John had to quit the ash business. Then he tried his hand as a saw­ miller at St. Helens, which is not far from Lucknow, and he was success­ ful in that business, ttoo. This sum­ mer he entered on a new venture, planted 50 acres of potatoes on his farm near Whitechurch, in the Township of West Wawanosh, Huron County, about seven miles from Lucknow. He treated the potatoes with Bordeaux mixture to prevent blight and rot, and people came in cars for many miles around to see his big potato patch when it was in bloom. As John was born in Ireland it is perhaps unnecessary to <say that he selected the Irish Cobbler as the best type of potatoes. He began to plant April 28 and they were ready for digging on August the 1st. His po­ tato farm is of sandy loam and 16,- 500 bushels were raised off the patch. He has shipped three car­ loads to Toronto and one to Brace­ bridge. Wingham has been his best local market. We will now dub John Joynt the “Potato King.” He has been working steadily among his potatoes all summer, and in con­ versation with him on Friday on his way to Wiarton he told us he was in the pink of health, although 72 years old. and enjoying life much better than when he was in the po­ litical arena. John Joynt has an open purse for every good cause, and whatever ven­ ture lie went into it has prospered. He is a fine example of the poor boy who succeeds by perserverance, in­ tegrity and industry. Wealth would not turn John Joynt’s head if he be­ came a millioaire. He is contented to estimate his wealth in five figures. EVERY HOUR FILLED FOR “ROYAL" VISITORS Five Hundred farm boys will have no idle moments during Toronto trip. If any of the five hundred Ont­ ario farm boys who are to visit the Royal Winter Fair at Toronto this week have any time on their hands on which to be homesick, it will not be the fault of those who have ar­ ranged the program for their visit. Starting off with a bang-up dinner at Hart House, the famous social centre of the University of Toronto, on tlie night of their arrival, the boys will have three days crowded with interest, entertainment and in­ struction. Hon. John S. Martin, Minister of Agricultue, will be the chairman at the banque( and the boys will hear addresses by Premier Howard Ferguson and Dr. I!. J. Cody, the chairman of tlie Board of Governors of the University. On Wednesday, November the 21. the boys will be taken for a tour of the Union Stock Yards and the Packing Plants where they will see the whole process of marketing live­ stock and the ultimate manufactur­ ing of the animals into meat pro­ ducts. In the afternoon of the same day they will be taken through the huge nianufactuing plant of Massey-Harris Company, Limited, and will see the different factory processes in the production of farm implements. They will be guests of the Council of Canadian Meat Pacers at luncheon and Massey-Har­ ris Company at supper. In the ev­ ening they will attend the Royal Winter Fair Horse Show as guests of the Fair. On Thursday they will visit large Toronto stores, but the greater part of the day will be spent in inspec­ tion of exhibits and studying the judging of livestock at the Royal Winter Fair. In the evening they will be guests of the T. Eaton Co., Limited at a banquet. On Friday the last day, the boys will be taken through the Ontaro Parliament Buildings' and will be given a motor drive around the Capi­ tal City as guests of the city of To­ ronto. More time will be spent in inspecting exhibits at the Fair, and in the evening those boys that have survived three days of high living, and are not overcome by the pangs of indigestion, will be treated to an­ other banquet by the Robert Simp­ son Company, Limited. They will leave for home the fol­ lowing morning. FALLIS—FALLIS (The Vancouver Daily Province) A pretty wedding was that of Mr. William Barton Fallis to Mrs. Mary Fallis at Canadian Memorial church parsonage, 1825 Sixteenth street, on Wednesday evening, October 17th, at 8.30 o’clock. The groom motored from Ontario, Cal. with his brother Mr. Fred Fallis and the brid© came from Grand Bend, Ont. The bride was attended by Mrs. A. W. Robin­ son, of Vancouver, and the groom was supported by Mr, Fred Fallis, of Ontario, Calif. Miss Jean Murdock played the wedding march, and Mr, Claude Fallis, of Grand Bend, gave the bride in marriage. Rev. G. A. Fallis, B. D., minister of Canadian Memorial church, cousin of the groom, perf'romed th© ceremony in the presence of Ontario friends now resident in Vancouver. The couple left for Victoria and Vancouver Is­ land on a honeymoon trip. They will return to Vancouver and pro­ ceed south by motor to reside in Ontario, Cal.

HURON OLD BOYS’ ASSOCIATION OF TORONTO The annual meeting of the Huron Old Boys’ Association of Toronto will be held in the auditorium, Y. M.C.A. Bulding, 40 College St., on Friday evening, 30 th inst., at S o’clock, for the election of officers and' transaction of general business. Mr. John S. McKinnon, a Blyth Old Boy, and recently Dominion Trade Commissioner to the World’s Fair, London, England, will give an address on a popular topic. Re­ freshments will be served at the close of the meeting, and every Hu- ronite in the city of Toronto and su­ burbs, is invited to be present and take part in the proceedings. POST CHRISTMAS PARCELS EARLY With but a few short weeks until Christmas, postal authorities are now advising that all Christmas par­ cels be mailed at an early date, to avoid any possible delay in reaching their destination. The use of pro­ per methods of sending parcels and the correct address being printed on the^parcels is urged by the local pstmaster. He wished it impressed on the public, the advisability of mailing parcels to the old country as soon as possible. The local post­ office will soon be crowded with the t rush of Christmas mail and careless- ; ness on the part of the public is of­ ten the cause of disappointments around Christmas time. The use of strong corrugated boxes is recom­ mended by the postmaster as the best method of mailing parcels, es­ pecially at Christmas. Even with the use of the strong box, the par­ cels should be doubly protected by several layers of good strong paper, with plenty of heavy cord General Motors are coming out with a new Chevrolet six, with four wheel brakes, replacing the Chevro­ let four. Three men convicted of participat­ ing in the recent $300,000 mail car robbery at Toronto were each given 15 years and another was sentenced to 10 years. A southwesterly gale swept over England, Wales, France and Bel­ gium on Friday and ’ten persons were killed <and scores injured. Da­ mage to property in England and Wales was enormous. Thirty fam­ ilies were homeless, their dwellings having been wrecked. Every branch of farm work, farm machinery, stock, etc., has an ex­ pert writer in the Family Herald and Weekly Star, the recognised first writers in Canada.
