Advertiisirg does not be- long to the realm ;af magic, It is aWjlity to' talk of the product in ;plain iliest and straightforward terms ,that appeal to the reason and desires of the people whose trade is sought. The old saying has it, "Don't take two bites at a cherry," but we were shown a strawberry on Saturday, grown in Mr. Peter Martene's patch in Stephen, that would require three good bites to get away with it. It resembled a huge butterfly in shape and measured 8 inches in circumfer- ence. Who can beat this?

Such is the tenor of amessage forwarded by the Department of Marine and Fisheries,at Ottawa. A' set valued at $1000 has just been seized at Thorold. THE ANONYMOUS LETTER \WRITER Ey town has one anonymous letter w' iter, Large towns may have two, but it takes a town of a pretty fair size to find more than one indi- vidual in it low enough to fit the job. Among the qualifications are an evil mind, a narrow soul and a jaundiced liver.. If these fit you, dear reader, you are the party hold- ing down the job in St. Marys.—St. Marys Journal Argus. SCHOOL' BOOKS TO CHANGE, After being in use for some Sifteen years the third and fourth readers of the public schools of the Pilov.ice will be changed after the coming school year. The public ,school speller and the public school hygiene wild. :am be- come obsolete. There will be no a changes in public, separate or high po,chool text books during the • coining year.. At the same time high school German grammars and German readers will become obsolete. The high `school English grammar and arithmetic will also be revised. The noted. public school geography issued just a year or so, ago and of which so, Much criticism was offered is now reported to have beet partially corrected and lin con- stant use during the school terms. PLAIN TRUTH A man may patronize the mail or- der houses for years—may send them in that time hundreds of dol- Iars—.and at the same time they wouldn't accommodate him for a two -cent stamp. This is the plain truth. If you think otherwise try it for yourself and see. These out-of- town houses do not know you—do not care to know you—are not inter- ested in you in any way—only in the money you send them. Spend your money with yotir own towns- men, who know you for what you really are, who appreciate your worth, your business, your assis- tance in building up homeinterests.

KESTLE After a long and. tedious illness of many weeks duration, William Henry Kestle passed away at his home Tuesday morning last, at the age of 66 years, 5 months and 12 days, The deceased had been a vic- tim of stomach trouble from which he suffered much during his long ill- ness. About nine weeks ago he was removed to Victoria Hospital, Lon- don, where he underwent an opera- tion. This however, only furnished returning to his home here his con- dition became worse and he gradu- ally sank until the end came. Mr, Kestle was born in the Township of Usborne, on the 2nd con. where he lived for many years. Later he mov- ed to London Township and while there married Miss Elia Gilbauk. From there they moved to Thorndale where he continued to farm, and a- bout 13 years ago, came to Exeter to live. The late Mr. Kestle, being a devout member of James St. Method- ist church, took a deep interest in all church and Sunday School work and was a man who commanded the res- pect of all for his many good quali- ties as a citizen, friend and neigh- bor. He is survived by his widow, and four brothers: James and Thom- as, of Exeter; Fred of Brantford and Albert of St. Jonh, and one sister. Mrs. E. J. Jory, of town. The funer- al, which will be private, takes place to -day (Thursday) to the . Exeter cemetery. Messrs. George and James Bag- shaw, of Birsay, Sask„ arrived here last to attend the diamond wedding their parents, Mr. and Mrs. and will visit here DIAMOND WEDDING ANNIVERSARY A very pleasant picture of old age was presented by Mr. and Mrs. Wil- liam Bagshaw, at their diamond wed- ding anniversary on Monday after- noon, July 7th, when they received many congratulations and good wishes from the relatives and guests who assembled at their home to cel- ebrate the joyous occasion, Mr. Bagshaw is in his' 86th year and Mrs. Bagshaw was 77 last month, and both are enjoying remarkable health for their advanced years. Mr. Bagshaw was born in the Township of Vaughan, York County, near Tor- onto and, it is 73 years since he first took up his residence in Exeter. Mrs. Bagshaw was born in the Township of McGillivray and her whole life has been spent in this neighborhood. They were married in the Township of McGillivray just 60 years ago Monday. About 50 guests were present, in- cluding the members of their im- mediate family:—Mrs. S. Sample, of St. Catharines; Mrs. Rich'd Elston, of St, Marys; Mrs. Fred Hogarth, of Stephen Tp.; Messrs. James and Geo. A. of Birsay, Sask.; Mrs. D. J. Chris- tie, of Edmonton, and Mr. Homer Bagshaw, of town. The affair took the form of a ban- quet and numerous toasts were pro- posed and ably responded to by the guests and members of the family. An interesting feature of the event was the presentation to the worthy old couple of a beautiful Edison gramophone, a gift of the immediate family. We join with the many friends of those worthy and • esteemed citizens in extending best wishes and many happy returns of this 60th anniver- sary of their wedding day.

BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS This is the season of the year when nearly all the varied kinds of flow- ers are at their best. Just now the rose seems to be in- the zenith of its luxuriant growth, embracing many hues in the full bloom of their beau- ty, or in the delicate immaturity of yet unfolded buds, fragrant with perfume and seeming to .h6ld within their lustrous petals the captured radiance of summer. We need not go to the great flower shows in our more favored cities for exhibits of the beautiful in these lines, because + we have themin many of the gar- dens of town, noteworthy among these being that of 1Vir. T. R. Carling, Mr. Wm. Ward, Mr., J. G. Stanbury, Mr. J. S. Harvey, Dr. Hyndnan, Dr. Rouiston, Mr. R. G, Seldon, Mr. t Thos, Harvey, Mr. R. N. Rowe and many others. These are gardens of wonted charm and to the lovers of flowers will furnish a paradise in which to linger and enjoy nature's beauty and fragrance. The owners are to be congratulated and com- mended for their taste and well ar- ranged gardens. MORE SAFETY More safety and fewer accidents is a great need of this country. Thereare too many preventable acc- idents on the streets, in the homes and in industry. In this Province alone industry pays, through the Compensation Board, an annual tax of about six million dollars for acc- idgts and this is only part of the loss, for the employer and employee alike suffer every time there is an accident involving loss of time. Safety is largely a habit of mind and. like other habits can be acquired:: "Thinking Safety" will, therefore, produce ,safety, so that both man- agement `and workers should give thought to accident prevention to the end, that the awful tollin hu- man suffering and tire very consid- erable sums of money lost may be reduced to a minium. More safety is a reasonable de- inand of industry in this country and is . aa demand which both workers and executives will support, NOTES ON COUNTY COUNCIL Reeve W. D. Sanders and Messrs: H. Spackman and B. W. F. Beavers, ex County Wardens, were in attend- ance at the Huron County Council picnic held at Bayfield last week. W. H. Coates, Reeve of Usborne, won the guessing contest on the weight of a parcel; Mrs. A. H. Neeb, of Stephen, won in the beanbag throwing contest; tossing the caber, Mr. A. H. Neeb won out. Two very regrettable things, rather marred the day's outing. Mrs. Neeb sustained a very painful accident in the coat race in which she fractured her fin- ger in a fall, and Mr. Alex. McEwen took a very severe muscularcramp in one of the races. County Clerk, Holman, worked early and late and in between to make everybody happy and deserves much of the credit for the success of the day's outing. ORANGE SERVICE With beautiful weather the annu- al Orange Service on Sunday after- noon last was a successful affair, there being about one hundred members of the order in attendance, including a number of ladies. The sermon was preached by the County Chaplin, Rev. A. A. Trumper, while Rev. Mr. Foote, of Caven Presbyter - ion church assisted in the service. The discourse of the worthy chaplain was of deep interest to the order, as well as to the large congregation in attendance, taking his text from 1 Samuel 3-3—"The Ark of God." After cordially welcoming the members of the Order and the ladies of the Orange Benevolent Society, the pre ler said in part: To the an - 'dent Israelites the Ark of God was the most important and most cher- ished symbol of God's presence that they possessed, and everything about it spoke of Christ. It was surmount- ed by a plate of solid gold called the mercy-seat,where God said plainly "There will I meet with you." At either end was a golden cherub look- ing on the mercy -seat as witnesses of man's forgivness as they had been witnesses of His Fall. The Old Test- ament constantly declares the mercy of God, but it is only fully revealed to us through the gospel of Jesus Christ. The Ark contained two ta- bles of the law. Moral law has be- come terrible in -men's eyes because they have broken it, but the law was in this sacred ark covered with gold —not with iron—to show that the law is not a harsh rule of life, but the rule of life and action to secure the protection and happiness of the whole universe. Further, the Ark contained a golden pot of manna re- vealing God's power in feeding His people in the desert and foreshadow- ing Christ as the Bread of Life. In addition there was Aaron's rod that budded, ;:proving that the work of God and the Church of God is to be carried on by God's ministers, com- missionedby Him. The history of the various resting places of. the Ark was briefly revived, and special men- tion was made of Uzzah's sudden death for presuming to lay an un- hallowed hand upon it. Symbols are often despised to -day. yet Our Lord constantly employed them, "The Kingdom of Heaven is like," and any symbol to -day that will help to bring God home as a living reality to us, must not be des- pised. Our chief purpose in coining to church is to assemble around the true Ark of God, Jesus Christ Him- self. We shall only show the real glory of Protestantism by real dexo. tion to. the Ark of God. All the great leaders of bygone days have treasured every means of grace, and some day by God's grace we shall be gathered home where symbols. are no longer required, but where, we shall see "face to face." week of Win. Bagshaw, fora while. TATTOO AT MITCHELL LARGELY ATTENDED Dominion Day at Mitchell was spent quietly by citizens, who were looking forward to the big tattoo, under the auspices of the Town Band which took place in Keterson Park in the evening. Between 2,000 and 3,000 people listened to five bands, the Galt Kiltie Band, Kitchener Cit- izens' Band New Hamburg Band, St. Marys Kiltie Band and Mitchell Band. SUPERVISION NEEDED To the Editor of the Exeter Advocate Dear Sir:— It is high time that some supervis- ion was exercised in regard to that very popular resort known as the "swimming hole" in the bush. Any Saturday afternoon one can go back there and see a crowd of nude boys bathing and the filthy, blasphemous language used is such as would have been heard in a common bar -room years ago. To say that such condi- tions are a disgrace to the contmun- tiy, is putting it too mildly. One wonders what our morality officers and others are doing when such con- ditions are allowed to exist within a mile of the village. By all means let the boys have a good time, but as we value decency and purity, let the good time be carried on unaccom- panied by indecency and blasphemy. A Citizen. DAVIS—MACK NUPTIALS A quiet wedding was solemnized at Caven Presbyterian church, on Saturday the 5th of July, at 12:30 noon, when Alma Agnes, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Mate, became the bride of Mr. Al- bert A.

After the ceremony the bride's mother receiv- ed the guests at her residence, where luncheon was served. The bridal couple left by the evening train. The bride's travelling costume was res- eda green brocaded crepe with grey hat and coat, gloves and shoes to match. Guests .from out of town were: Mrs. T. C.

Sibbald, London, SOFT BALL RESULTS I Let July 3rd James St. B. upset all the dope on Thursday night when they defeated the fast going Main St, team and put them out of the running by a score of 11-8. This B team is sure Must have been saving themselves for this game, as everyone on the team turned in,.a real snappy game. It seemed rather hard for Main St. to realize that they were being defeat- ed, and did not take it very kindly at the time, but were soon feeling• better again. It was a good game from start to finish, not one dull moment.. R. Goulding pitched for the B team, and turned in a fine ex- hibition, only allowing one ball to go to the out -field. The crowd was with B team and sure had lots of ex- citement. This game brought the first half of the series to a close and has been enjoyed by everyone, good crowds attending every game. The fans as well as the players looked for those games night after night like their meals, Three nights a week, it was hurry home to tea, then to the bail game. James St. A, won the first half with 4 wins and 1 loss; three teams tied for 2nd place with 3 wins and 2. losses; two teams at the bottom with 1 win and 4 losses.
