I EXCHANGE COMES HIGH The peioe per horsepower has not been raised .to the individual con- sumer by the local Hydro Commission as in some centres, but the commis- sion is paying an increase of about $2,28. This is on account of the high exchange tate on Canadian mon- ey in New York, where the Ontario Hydro Commission seems to owe a lot of money. The local commission seems to have a surplus which takes care of this extra drain for the timo being but if the exchange rate con•.• tines no doubt we •shall have to in- crease rates as others have donei Goderieh is protesting - to the Pro- vincial Commission against the in- creaser, suggesting that the exchange be paid out of the contingency fund, If we could manage to get along without borrowing from New York we should be that much better off. THE WOMEN'S INSTITUTE The September meeting of the Women's Instituto was held in the firemen's hall last Thursday after- noon, The meeting was opened by singing the 'Institute Ode, after which the Lord's Prayer was repeated in unison. This was followed by a short sing -song, and the secretary's report was then read. The roll call was answered by "A Home-made Remedy for Man •cr Beast." After the treasurer's report an invitation was read from f the Londesboro branch of the' Women's Institute in- viting Clinton branch to their meet- ing on October the sixth. This in- vitation was voted on and accepted. All ladies wishing to go to this meeting are to send in their names to Mrs. McKinley, the eoaretary. Mrs. Lindsay and her program com- mittee was then given a hearty vote of thanks for providing such splendid entertainment at the Women's Insti. tote picnic. For the Women's In- stitute convention at Walkerton on October 18th and. 19th, Mrs. McKin- ley was appointed as delegate. Af- ter a report from the different com- mittees Mr. Pingland gave a splen- did talk on "Legislation Concerning Women and Children in Ontario." This talkewas really very instrnetivo as Mr. Pingland explained the civil rights of women and children in such an interesting manner that he received the greater;t of attention. At the close of his address he was tendered a very hearty vote of thanks for his splendid address. Miss Helen Lawson then favorer' the audience with a niter solo, -and Misses Wilhemine Trewartha and Ellen Charlesworth sang a pleasing duet, with guitar accompaniment.

TRIBUTE TO POPULAR BOY The Ottawa Citizen had the fol- lowing reference to the funeral of Jack Rumball, the only son of Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Rumball of Ottawa and grandson of Mrs. Clara Rumball of Clinton, whose recent death was sio keenly regretted by a large circle of friends: "Impressive and sincere tribute was paid to the memory of John F. Rumball by the attendance of a large number of friends and acquaintances including his young companions, at the funeral hold on Saturday at 2.30 p.m. from the family residenee, 221 Third avenue. The service was con- ducted by Rev. Norman Rawson, inin. aster of St. James' United church. Interment took plaace in the 13eech- wood cemetery mausoleum. A beloved' and valued member of the C.S.E.T. organization of St. James' church, the late "Jack" Rum - ball, as he was affectionately known to his many friends, had endeared himself to many by his kind and af- fable personality and his passing creates a void in the ranks of the C.S. E.T. -which will be difficult to fill. ' Endowed with great possibilities for the future and a fine character', his unfortunate demise has been received with the keenest of regret Honorary pallbearers were Messrs. G, M. Dallyir,W. I. Hasieett, 0. Ripley, J. C. Osborne, M. Sherwood, leaders of the various •G.S•E.T. groitps in St. James' church; G. Thompson,' his former Y,M.C.A. instructor, and C. N'eigborn,• mayor of the Ottawa Boys' Council. Numerous Ottawa and Montreal of- ficials of the Bell Telephone Company of which his father is Eastern On- tario division; plant superintendent, were gathered together at the funer- al to pay final and sorrowful tribute to the memory of one of the most promising youth; in the community." Amongst the many floral- tributes - sent was one from the local Tele- phone Co., and they were also sent by the several divisions'of the corn- i BO•X LACROSSE The London All-Star lacrosse team is expected bele some day next week and the locals are doing theirs hest to be prepared to meet them and re- deem - their recent 4aihare, when they Were beaten in a.
