THIRTY-THIRD YEAR
Our Corner
We I.;ave been lack into nice spring
weather for a few days.
The birds that are arriving front the
south know where the best climate is
for good old summertime.
The income tax return sheet is a
simple looking thing, but the more
you look at it the less you know.
All over the United States men
are wearing overalls to keep down the
cost of clothes.- And women—well,
they are wearing as little clothes as
the law allows.
.
l.s the cheapest
:M`*
zlfood, consider -
int; food value, that is consumed. One
quart of milk lupi .les as ruueh pro-
tein as 7 ounces of sirloin steak or 4.3
eggs and will supply ae much energy
as 11 ounces of sirloin steak, as, $1l-2
eggs or 10,7 ounces of fowl. Even at
the price at which naille is selling to-
day, the consumer is getting the
cheapest and best food that he buys.
THE PAVEMENT QUESTION.
The fact that the Exeter Council
propose,i by motion, duly seconded
an.1 carried, to pave only an eighteen
foot strip through Exeter, because the
money raised by by-law last year, was
not sutficient to do the Job right,rais-
e i a storm of protest last week, and
a meetin,r, otos called for Thursday eve
euing The propoeition as outlined by.
the ruction was that the balance of the
36 feet through the business portion
be dons by local .improvement. Natur-
ally the saddling of this extra expense
on the shoulders of the Main Street
business block owners was resented:
The. meeting was well attended and
the council board was present in a
body, Atter considerable discussion
and consultation with the engineer, who
is here and ready to commence the
work, it was found that about $10000
more would be necessary to do the
job right, and it was moved by j. A.
Stewart seconded by C. H. Sanders,
and adopted, that the council make
application to the Railway Board for
permission to spend approximately ten
thousand dollars more than the by-law
provides, Reeve Beavers explained
that the greater portion of the cost
increase as due to the fact that it 'was
at first thought possible to use, local
gravel , but it has been ascertained that
it will be necessary ,to use gravel from
Paris, It is to be hoped that the
council can see their way clear to
pave Station Street as well while. on
the job,

Monday night's London Advertiser
tells ,the story of the luck of a potato
dealer, supposedly residing in Exeter.
The story ,goes, oa to say that an
Exeter span sold acar of potatoes to
a dealer in Cleveland, but on their ar-
rival in Detroit the strike was on,
and the goods being perishable the
freight agent asked and received per-
mission to sell them in Detroit.. This
he did, and the Exeter man received
a cheque from the freight agent ,who
stated that the best he could do was
to get $10 per bag, The price to the
Cleveland dealer was to have been $4
per bag. We do not know who the
lucky lellov was, but undoubtedly he
was lucky. --�
OVERALL FAD,
The ;overall fad has hit many towns
and cities throughout Canada and the
United States in an endeavor to bring
down the price of other elothing and.
thus administer a black eye to , the
profiteers ,in the clothing line, It has
been stated on the very best author-
ity that the wool that it takes to make
a $75,00 suit ,of clothes costs a trifle
over $7,00. That being the case there
must be a lot of stealing going on
son iewh•ere before it reaches the wear-
er, The fad has struck the. House of
Commons at Ottawa and all the mem-
bers of the Executive have donned
working garb, as they take the stand
that it es their first duty to do what
they can to reduce ,the high cost of
living. The feeling in Exeter is very
strong in. !fav or of the move, and( it is
now up ato the citizens to make the
start and ,be in. the swine with ,other
towns and cities,
