NOTES AND CO.NMKX7S
Fruit growers and box makers
should bear in mind the amendment
to the Act regulating the size of fruit
packages recently passe, legalizing a
tniniwunt'standard box. This box hes
a minimum size of 1Ox11x20 inches.
inside measurement. There is no
specification as to the thickness of
the material other 'ban that it should
be strong and seasoned wood. It is
recommended, however, that the ends
should be at least five-eighths of an
inch thick. and the sides at least three -
eights of an inch thick, and there
should he no objectionable odor to
the wood. There are nospecifleetions
as to what grade of fruit shall he pack
ed in boxes. The market reports, how
ever, would discourage tht• shipment
in boxes of anything but apples of
the very highest grade; the rest of
the fruit can be more econornically
shipped in barrels.

UNCLAIMED JfONEY.
The government publishes a report
of unclaimed money left in banks, and
from it we find that some people have
left balances in the banks for a good
many years: Thos. Berry has $5.02 in
the Bank of Montreal,Goderich,which
has been there since 18.59; Geo. Hilliard
has $7.88 in the same bank which has
been there since 1876, and John Porter
bas $88.56 which has been standing
since 1862; M. Watson, Seaforth, left
$1.48 in the Bank of British North
America in 1876, and it is there yet.
O. P. Hill, of Clinton. had a balance of
19c. in the same bank in 1938, and it
has not been called for; Annie Ross,
Auburn. left $160 in 1899: Maria Marks
Bayfield, left $11.78 in 1899; W. H.
Woods, Bayfield, left. $21.20 the same
year; O. Bryne & Co., Exeter, left $7.10
in 1878. The Huron Salt MM.( loderich
had a balance of $21.27 in the Hank of
• Commerce since 1892.
The phi :tee "the thin :red line,"
hich we often hest. wet, used iu e-
fereuce to the wanner in which the
93rd Highlanders, under Sir Colin
Campbell, received a charge of Hessian
caval's' at the battle of 13alaklaay..
The phrase is sometimes xtttibuted to
Kinglike, but it was really employed
by Dr. Russell in his letttei to The
Tiutes. The actual phai•.e was "thin
red streak topped with a line of steel.'

"Orchard Grove" has been theseene
of many pleasant gatherings but never
in its history one to equal the grand

leaning on the arm of her father, to
the pear tree's tastefully festooned
sheltering branches, selected for the

brother, George, had taken their stand.
The bride was attended by her sister,
Miss Jennie Lind. The nuptial knot
was securely tied by Rev. H. Rice, of
Montreal, cousin of the bride, assisted

DiED.--A telegram was received here
Friday night announcing the sudden
death at the Windsor Hotel, Ottawa,
of Arthur Atkinson,a prominent grain
dealer of Winnipeg, and a former res-
ident of Biddulph township. where a
number of his relatives still reside, in-
cluding 3 sisters; his hrother, Gen. re-
sides in London. Deceased went to
Ottawa a week ago on a business trip
and was expected here Saturday. The
remain were taken to Winnipeg for
burial, where his wife now resides.
FELL OUT OF WINDOW. -Irvine the
youngest son of Herbert Gibson, build-
ing contractor, fell from the second
story window of his home at 11:30 p.m.
Sunday and sustained a fracture of the
arra and serious injury to his head.
The boy is 14 )'ears old, and for the
past two months has been spending
his hours after school with G. T. H.
agent Maguire,learning telegraphy. It
wash's custom, when a through freight
was passing, to lean ont the station
window to catch the engine number
for the purpose of hooking the train.
From the fact that at the moment he
fell ;'trough the window a freight went
thundering through the village. it is
supposed he was dt•eatning,and follow-
ing his custom while on duty at the
depot he arose front his bed and walk-
ed to the open window. His mother,
who was in an adjoining room, heard
his movements. and hastening to the
boy's room reached there in time to
see him go head first to the ground be-
low. The injured boy is progressing
favorably.

Inspector's Report Re School.
To the Chairmen and Member_ of the
Exeter Public School Maid.
Gentlemen: -I have the honor to
report on the condition of the Exeter
School in the following particulars:
the grounds, fences, trees and out-
buildings are in a satisfactory condi-
tion; the School house, desk's, etc.,
are iu a good state of t•epair. The
Principal and ('ateteket deserve credit
for the care taken of the School Pro-
perty. The tattle of the typewaiting
machines interferes with the wet of
the pupils in the commercial classes.
it is necessary to have them in a separ-
ate room in view of the Commercial
Mester. Small rooms may be pro-
vided fur the typew'r'iters and refer-
ence books by taking part of the
senior boys cap-ruou►. I discussed
with the teachers the arrangement
of the doors and windows for these
rooms. The management of the school
is good. The healthy tone of the High
School Department is shown by the
discipline and interest which every
student takes in the school work.
In these classes the work done is
equal to that done in the High Schools
while the individual attention given
to the pupils is superior. In the third
and fourth book classes, the work is
done with the usual neatness, thor-
oughness and accuracy. The energy
and experience of the teachers of these
classes guarantee the progress and
proficiency of their pupils. The teach-
ers of the first and second book classes
have been faithful and diligent in the
discharge of their• duties. They have
striven to promote the advancement
of their pupils. For the Junior divi-
sions the Board should engage teach-
ers of experience who have proven
themselves specially qualified to teach
junior pupils. The flnest qualities of
teaching are required for young child-
ren and it is a mistake not to secure
the services of teachers who possess
these qualities. Your principal has
done excellent work in the discipline
and management of your school. The
Pparents and trustees should give the
rincipal and Assistants their hearty
support in maintaining proper disci-
pline and in training the pupils to
form correct habits. Education does
not consist so much in book know-
ledge as it does in noble character.
The boy who is not industrious, obed-
ient. respectful to those in authority
and willing to do cheerfully even
disagreeable tasks is not truly educa-
ted. Pupils should be trained to be-
come worthy citizens of our fair
Dominion.
1 remain, Gentlemen, your obedient
servant,
J. Elgin Tom, P. S. Inspector.

Is "Royal Household"
Really the Best Flour?
Thousands of women who do their own baking
know it is the befit, by results -they don't care about
the reasons -but those who have not tried it may want
to know why it is the best.
Of course any maker of flour -with the same
experience -the same facilities for selecting the befit wheat
-the same tremendous plant equipment for milling, and
the same process for Electrical Purification of flour
could make just as good flour as ROYAL HOUSE-
HOLD -if he had the genius for flour making.
But no other flour maker in Canada has all these
requisites and facilities, therefore no flour equal to
ROYAL HOUSEHOLD is made in this country.
In these talks we shall give you good reasons why
ROYAL HOUSEHOLD is the befit flour and why
it is the cheapest flour for you to use.
