A fitting cairn with a fitting in-

the banks of the Maitland River. Only
a few houses mark the place known
as Roxburgh and named by the first
setters who came to this part of the.
country in 1888 from Roxburghshire,
Scotland. The cairn, which will be
unveiled at a later date this month,
has been placed to honor the mem-
ories of two brave fathers and two
brave sons who came from their
native Scotland to make new homes
forthemselves in Canada. They were,
Archibald Dickson of "Gladswood"
and his son, James Dickson and Rob-
ert Scott from "Bankhead," and his
son Robert Scott. Descendants of
these two old families are now scat-

many are still to be found in the
district.
The cairn is erected on the site.

the late James Scott, son of Robert
Scott and father of Joseph Scott of
Roxburgh, built a grist mill to serve
the farmers of the community. The
Dicksons and the Scotts after build-

been associated with the • Bank of
Montreal since 1912, as a director
since that timeand as vice-president
for the past twelve years.
In an interview given the press,
Mr, Drummond said that he felt very
much honored that the office of the
president of the Bank of Montreal
had developed upon him, and partic-
ularly so in that he is following in
the steps of the late Sir Charles
Gordon, with whose policies Mr.
Drummond in his capacity as vice-
president has been familiar and which
he will endeavour to follow. "In this",
he stated, "I know I shall have the
loyal support of the staff, whose
ability I well know and in whom I
have always taken a deep interest.
With that support I shall carry on
until the time arrives for a younger
man to shoulder the heavy responsi-
bilities of the office."

OCT. 1, 1914
One of Clinton's old landmarks is
being removed, the house on Albert
street until recently occupied by Miss
Mary Johnston. This house, which
was built of hewed logs, was erected
by Mr. Pode, father of Mrs. J. T.
The proposal would be instituted with
the consent of both separate and
public school boards and also of local
doctors, dentists and optometrists.
Leave of absence was granted by
Wingham Town Council to Constable
T. W. Platte, night watchenan for the
past eight years, who assumes the
rank of lieutenant in the 100th List-
owel battery. Platte is well known
throughout Canada as a crack revol-
ver shot, capturing many trophies
and coming second last year in the
provincial match at Guelph.
For the first time since 1918 Sun-
day work was necessary at the West-
ern Canada Flour Mills. The C.N.R.

BRITAIN PRODUCES ONLY HALF
ITS FOOD
(From Len Nesbitt in Wheat Pool)
Food for her population is a mat-
ter of primary importance to Great
Britain in war time. The land: there
can never' for any length of time
produce "moue than half of the food
required by the 4614 million people.
In that respect Great Britain is dif-
ferent from the other great nations
of Europe. -
In all, about 25 million tons of food
are used,annually by the British pop-
ulation. To import 12% million tons
ole food each year requires nice or-
ganization, even in peace time. In
times of War the difficulties of such
a task are multiplied manifold.
Britain will have to look to North
America, and particularly to Canada,
for her import food requirements
during war times. From Quebec to
'
Liverpool is only 2,625 miles, white
Argentine is 6,000 and Australia
about 11,000' miles. The British navy
must concentrate on the protection
of the North Atlantic sea lane in or-
der to obtain food supplies for the
British population during war time.
At the present time the agricultural
area of Great Britain amounts to
291/2 million acres, of which 121
million are under the plow and 17
million are in permanent pasture.
Thus Britain has less land under the
plow than has the province of Alberta
and, of course the potential farm area
of this province is infinitely greater.
During the Great War the crop
land in Britain was raised to 16 mil-
lion acres. This can be done again,
By concentrating on the production
of wheat and coarse grains and pota-
toes, and by increasing the use of
tractors for farm work, Britain could
step up the domestic supply of food
by a substantial volume; but man
power will be largely required in ar-
mies and in munition factories and
reliance will be placed on North
America for food supplies 'f or the
people.
Residents in the St. Thomas. and
Brantford areas suffered losses
amounting to several thousand's of
dollars in a terrific storm on Sat-
urday:which ended a September heat
wave after several new records had
been established. Barns, houses, trees
and power lines went down under the
terrific wind which swept the area.
The days of cattle rustling are not
past. Near Tillsonburg the other
day a truck pulled up at a field in
broad daylight, loaded on a cow ane
drove away. Neighbours thought the
owner had sold the cow, but someone
took the number of the truck mark-
ers. Later they learned the cow had
not been sold. Police are working
on the case and expect an early ar-
rest.
CANADA MAKES PLANS TO
FEED ALLIES
Canada's newly formed Agricultur-
al Supplies Committee, set up since.
the Dominion's declaration of war: on
Germany Sept. 10, already is'laying
the groundwork for meeting requests
for foodstuffs from Great Britain and
France.
Although it is understood no re-
quests have been received as yet,
they aro expected soon. The com-
mittee, therefore, will have to map
means of meeting these orders as'
well as providing for normal needs
of the - home market under wartime
conditions.
As a result of the war, the Brit-
ish market for Canadian cheese, ap-
ples, and bacon has slumped severely.
Normally half of Canada's apple crop

goes to Britain, and'substitute ways
of disposing of this year's large crop

The decline in British exchange in
terms of Canadian dollars, after re-
tail prices were pegged at the present
low level by the British Government,

has been boosted, combined to throw
both the cheese and bacon- markets
out of gear.

WAR SCARE AT AYTON
BRITISH DOCTORS MOBILIZED
British Government plans for the
mobilization of physicians in war
were agreed upon between the Min-
istry of Health and the Central
Emergency Committee of the British
Medical Association.
The scheme provides for a national
hospital medical service for the treat-
ment of casualties. Physicians join-
ing it will assume for a period of
8 years a. definite liability to serve.
The service will be recruited from.
physicians other than those already
in whole -time employment of the
Government or local authorities.
Class A physicians are being called
up for whole -time hospital service
with liability to transference to any
part of the country. Class B physi-
cians will be liable to hospital service
on a sessional basis in their own
hospital area.
According to the London corres-
pondent of the Journal of the Amerce
can Medical Association, the scale of
salaries in, class A. are as follows:
Consultant adviser $7,000, group of-
ficer $6,500, medical superintendent
of a hospital of 1,000 beds and over
$6,000, of 750 beds $5,000, of 300
beds $4.500, ofice in charge of surg-
ical or medical division hospital of
500 beds and over $4,750, specialists
$4,000, medical offcers $2,750, house
officers $1,750, The salaries are on
a resident basis; if board and lodging
are not supplied an allowance of $500
will be paid in lieu thereof.
Class B physicians will be paid $13
a session for consultant and specialist
work of two hours' duration up to
five sessions in any one week with
$10 for other sessions. General prac-
titioners will be paid $8 a session 01
two hours' duration. Physicians so
employed will not wear a -uniform
but a distinguishing badge.
This will involve allocation to hosp-
ital staffs of physicians engaged in
private practice, but the British Medi-
cal Assocation has elaborated a
scheme for the maintenance in every
area of an adequate number of
physicians and the safeguarding of
the practices of those who are called
up.
PATRIOTISM•
PATRIOTISM isn't just marching
behind a band and puffing out you
chest.
'PATRIOTISM isn't a flash of fire-
works one day of the year and then
submerging your emotions the rest
of the year.
PATRIOTISM isn't always found
in the whooping of ' the crowd of.
maudlin: flag-waving or surface sen-
timentalism.
PATRIOTISM is the, sum total of
the three •cardinal virtues: Faith,
Hope and Charity. Faith in the prin-
ciples of our government, Rope in the
future of democracy, Charity toward
all and malice toward none.
While a small groupof citizens of
the village of Ayton were gathered
in front of the bank and pest office
one day recently, discussing toe Eur-
opean situation and exchanging opin-
ions pro and con on the possibility
or the probability of any -German
bombing plane strayng so far from
home base as to endanger the safety
of that peaceful little hamiet, and
while the concensus was quite optim-
istic regarding our isolation from
danger, and a motion for adjourn-
ment for dinner was in order, some-
thing happened. The shrieking, pierc-
ing sound of a siren's' whistle was
heard giving notice of a bombing
plane, and warning this little group
to disperse, and seek shelter in some
cellar- or dug -out. Then, presto, the
bomb exploded in their very midst,
awakening some men from their late
morning slumbers and bringing many
wondering housewives to the front
doors. Dense clouds of black smoke
encircled a car in front of the post
office, which brought thepostmaster

WORTH FROM WASTE
For years scientists have been 'try-
ing unsuccessfully to find some way
of taking the ink out of old news-
papers, magazines, and other paper
products and make white newsprint
from. them.
Now Dr. F. W. Hochstetter, of
Pittsburg, has invented a method of
getting rid of the ink. Demonstrat-
ings his process not long ago, Dr.
liochstetter showed how, by pouring
a chemical which he has developed
on/to the pulp of inky paper, the ink
and impurities separated themselves
leaving the white pulp to be turned
into newsprint.
PATRIOTISM is a sincere affec-
tion for our own family, devotion to
our relatives and loyalty to our
friend. Faithful to the "old home
town" and pride in our ,native Prov-
ince.
PATRIOTISM is that spirit that
makes us want to be of real help to
our neighbours When they are in dis-
tress or meet with reverses, to ex-
tend our sympathy when they are
stricken with grief.
PATRIOTISM is the tugging at
our heart -strings and a sincere kin-
ship with those who toil for a daily
wage in field or shop or market
place.
PATRIOTISM is the emotion that
makes a lump rise in our throat when
some intrepid spirit strives to achieve
something that no human being ever
accomplished before.
PATRIOTISM is unashamed at the
moisture that comes welling ups in
our tear -ducts with the passing of
some great and noble soul who un-
selfishly devoted his life to the cause
of mankind or in the service of our
Nation.
PATRIOTISM is loving ones Coun-
try, respecting its traditions and hon-
oring its people high or low, rich or
poor,
PATRIOTISM is the deep-rooted,
quiet pride of fellowship with a Na-
tion of men and women who, by and
large, have high idelals and who
gladly and willingly resppnd to the
demands on their time and ability
over and above their regular line of
duty when our country calls.—Exeter

, NEW GOVERNOR
Hon. Bradford W. LePage, President
of the Council in the Prince Edward
Island Government, who has been
named Lieutenant -Governor of the
Province, succeeding Hon. George Des
Brisay De Blois. He will assume his
new duties on October 1st.
Donald Evans, pilot and inventor,
of Sydney, N.S.W., has invented a
new beam for the guidance of air
pilots which will operate with a
visible green band in the centre and
red beams on each side.
The green beam shows when the
plane is on its course.
When there is a deviation, the red
beams shows up until the course is
corrected or until the machine is 20
miles off its course.
Evans declares it will cost less
than $200 to install the beam on any
plane.

CAMPFIRES
Campfire pictures are easy to take with any camera. Try it!
WITH the arrival of cooler days
and nights just about everybody,
it seems, wants to take advantage of
every opportunity to get out in the
country, the lake or seashore for
marshmallow roasts, fish fries, corn
roasts, clam bakes, and what have
you.
Taking pictures at night around
the campfire is a lot of fun and the
results very pleasing and out of the
ordinary. Since the introduction of
the photoflash lamp there has been a
tremendous interest is campfire pic-
tures for this lamp is so simple to
operate. The photoflash lamp is sim•
filar in appearance. to a common elec-
tric bulb and can be screwed into a
special holder resembling an ordi-
nary hand flashlight tube. These
holders are very inexpensive and
can be purchased at almost any
store selling photographic supplies.
The flash is set off by pressing a but-
ton, as on an ordinary flashlight, and
it gives an intense light without any
noise or smoke.
This is how you take`a campfire
Picture. , The people should be
grouped as close to the fire as com-
fort will permit. The arrangement
of the group can be viewed in the
finder of the camera by )raving
someone hold a pocket flashlight or
firebrands at each side of the scene.
This will indicate just what and who
is included in the picture.
And let me warn you—be sure you
have everybody in full view in your
finder or else in the finished print
you may and the decapitated body
of a dear friend appearing in the
shadows of the night as. the reincar-
nation of that famous character in
Washington Irving's "The Legend of

Horseman - who scared the day-
lights out of Ichabod Crane.
It is well not to have the fire too,
bright, nor yet allow it to die down'
to embers when the picture is made.
With the camera resting on a tri -
Pod or firm support, set it at stop f.8.

the flash. Here's one simple precau-
tion: — see that. the camera is placed
where possible smoke from the lire,
may not be blOwn towards the lens
orbetween it and the subjects.
Remember,, too, it is not necessary
to own an expensive camera, to take
campfire pictures at night. You can
take such pictures—and good ones;
with a box camera by using the
largest stop.
So if you are planning on an out-
door party at .night, be euro to be•
prepared to take some fascinating
outdoor photoflash pictures.
