Cher people look to you for an anus ea le—if you do not speak wen of the community, if you do not do something for the community, others will do Maculae. No city, town, village or hamlet can expect to 'become a bete -r, more In- teresting, more attractive place in which to live, work, play and prosper un- lless .everybody does a little something. It isn'tnecessary to spend days or '..reeks on a drive of some kind; yon don't have to get out and make a show of yourself; nor is it necessary for you to be one of the .big toads in the puddle, to be able to do something. And don't think that when you do do anything for the benefit of others, that you are a martyr to the cause; nor that you are donating. Get it out of your head that you are doing something charitable every time you go a ilnttle cut of your way to perform a little service or dig down in your pocket for a few dollars to make possible something that the other fellow will get eoirne good out of. You can't make money unless the other fellow does. What profits the community profits you, and there are no "if's," "and's" or "'but's" about it. Do something! You have a dozen chances every day to do something, to say something that will build. You have as many opportunities to put your foot on what others say and what others fail to do that tears down. Get community minded! It is good business, and plain, every -day, com- mon sense. Copyright, 1929, A. D. Stone. Reproduction prohibited in whole or in part.

WE SHALL GATHIE ROSES Roses rare are blooming, Friend, for you and me, In some quiet garden Of the bright to be. Carmine, queenly rogses, By a peaceful cove, We shall gather roses, Roses red with love, Love lives on forever, Far beyond the care, We shall gather roses In the sweet somewhere. We shall gather roses, Roses bloom and fade, But perennial beauty Decks that gladsome glade, Joy shall be eternal, All are young and fair, We shall gather roses In the sweet somewhere. H. ISABEL GRAHAM. JACK ROSS MONTGOMERY He was just a little lad Loved by teacher, chum and dad, For the shy, sweet ways he had When 1 knew him years ago, Never dreamed that he would grow— ? the thought brings pain and joy— To a hero, from a boy. Just a little lad of eight, No wierd whisperings of Fate, Writing 'figures on his slate And some lines and spaces too, From his music book of blue, Sometimes softly 1 would pray That no harm might come his way. Just a lad of seventeen, Far from home's familiar scene, Where his heart had always been, ut he did his duty well, Though it sounded like a knell, For he gave his life to save Others from a watery grave.

SUNDAY SCHOOL AND CONGREGAT I OVAL [PICNIC The annual Sunday School and c en- gregational picnic, of First Presby- terian Church, was held in Jowett's Grove, Bayiield, on Wednesday after- noon of this week. The v eather was perfect and tnere was a very large attendance, excel- lent sports and a wonderful supper. The following is a list of the win- ners• Girls' Events. the babies are . trneahteaed by attacks of diarrhoea �lurikg the hot snooper months, they fall victims to second attack& of the ,d cease or to other con- ditions, which, in their weakened state, they are unable to withstand. In the year 1.928, over 4,200 babies died as a remelt of diarrhoea. This means that, on an average, over elev- en babies died each day during the year because of t!,'s condition. There are not nearly as many deaths now from this cause ,- s there were only a few years ago, but we are still pay- ing a heavy toll. The progress which has been made is practical evidence that diarrhoea can be largely pre- vented if we will but take the neces- sary measures to do it. The more serious forms of diar- rhoea are due to germs which gain entrance to the body in water, milk or food. The reason why it occurs more frequently in warm weatha.r and why it is commonly known as sum- mer diarrhoea is because, when milk is warm, any germs which are in the milk grow rapidly, and when such milk is given to babies, they receive, as it were a large dose of germs which cause diarrhoea. Breast-fed babies seldom have this type of diarrhoea because breast milk is practically sterile; that is, it is free from germs. This is one of the reasons why every child slould be breast-fed. The surest and most practical way to prevent diarrhoea is to breast-feed. For babies who cannot be breast- fed, and for older children, milk which is pasteurized should be used. If pasteurized milk cannot be pur- chased, then it should be pasteurized at home. After pasteurization, every care must be taken of milk, in order to keep it cold and free from dirt and flies. Milk is a most valuable food, but it must be cared for or it is dangerous. Mothers should realize that if a diarrhoea does occur, it is a serious condition, and the time to call a doc- tor is immediately, not several days later when the baby is acutely ill. Questions concerning health, ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical As- sociation, 184 College St., Toronto, will be answered personally by letter.

OLD AGE PENSION BOARD At the organization meeting of the Huron Old Age Pension Board, it was decided to divide the county into five districts, each members of the Board being responsible in a measure for information regarding each applicant from the district. The districts were arranged es fol- lows: Mr. Higgins Usfborne, Exeter, Stephen, Hensall, Hay and Stanley. Mr. Kennedy—Tuckersmith, Mc- Killop, Hullett and Seaforth. Mr. Craigie-Clinton, Goderich Tp. Goderich Town, Colborne and Ash- field. Mr. Henderson—East Wawanosh, Boys' Events. Fie -Proof t y i Bo g: is & EONS nive at this sort of thing because it swells local revenues. We do not be- lieve that the practice is so wide- spread as many assume, but in mat- ters of this kind, one greedy official in a hundred more decent may give a bad name to a province. Conditions must be fairly bad when Mr. Richard Harfst, manager of the Detroit Auto- mobile Club, charges unfair discrim- ination against motorists from the United States in cases of triirial breaches of the law. Detroit, because of its geographical position, and its identification with the motor industry is almost as deep ly interested in Ontario tourist traf- fic as the province itself, and bene{its thereby to a very considerable ex- tent; so we may be sure that charges would not emanate from that source CONNSERV i\TQVES HOLD P C NSI O C The Clinton Conservative Associa- tion held a successful picnic at Bay- field on Wednesday, which was at- tended not only by a large number of Clinton Conservatives and their friends, but by many from other parts of the riding. Col. H. Il.. Coombes, riding president, as well as president of the Clinton Association, intimated that a convention to select a provin- cial candidate would be held shortly. Several prominent men in the riding are mentioned and there is no ques- tion that a strong candidate will be in the field against the present Pro- gressive member, W. G. Medd. The only speaker was Arthur R. Ford, president of the Western On- tario Conservative Association, who briefly referred to the administration of Hon. Howard Ferguson. In the afternoon a programme of sports was run off. Mrs. John Cluff won the prize for being the eldest lady on the grounds. The baby of Mrs. J. Middleton was the winner of the baby show.

The in- etructions issued by the Prince ister, 1?/ir. Ferguson, and the Minister of Highways, Mr. George S. Henry, are explicit in commanding courtesy to tourists; and where a trivial of- fence like speeding is involved to issue merely a kindly warning. The Government has even undertaken uu'hat where fines have been improper- ly collected, as they assuredly have been in certain instances, they will be refunded on application. Unfortu- nately the prevailing sentiment in many rural municipalities is that gov- ernmental admonitions should he not merely ignored, but spurned. The secretary of the Ontario Motor League is quite right in saying that so long as constables and magistrates are in a position to take money by exacting excessive fines from tourists the abuses will continue. Only by a complete abolition of the fee system which enables such an official to "get his bit" out of any strangers he can succeed in trapping, will conditions lee really reformed. It is quite obvious that the material interest of Canad- ians, leaving aside the subject of in- ternational good -will, demands such reforms.

Marie is not the only habitation of wolves; there are two -legged ones in older Ontario. Mr. W. G. Robertson, Secretary of the Ontario Motor League, is em- phatic as to existing abuses. He al- leges that many municipalities yield to the temptation of levying toll on inexperienced tourists, Canadians in- cluded, to swell the local exchequer. For slight misdemeanors fines much heavier than would be imposed on lo- cal residents who would at once ap- peal, are imposed on strangers, the assumption being that the tourist from a distance will pay a heavy price to avoid further interference with his holiday, and cannot stay on the scene to put up a legal fight. Similar complaints have come to the attention of Mr. C. Davis, secretary of the Hamilton Automobile Club. If half the current charges are true there are certainly some rural con- stables who should be in jail, and some magistrates unfit for judicial responsibilities. It is well that United States tour- ists should know that the motor or- ganizations of Canada are at all times ready to champion their cause and Fraser and Lillian Grieves, Harriett Kennedy and Marion Smith.

A year or so ago the Federal Government, aware of the weight that tourist expenditure exercises in our balance of trade with the United States, made an aprpeal through the press against such practices in mat- ters of food and accommodation. The appeal was in the main well received in rural Ontario although one or two country weeklies seemed irritated with the Toronto Hewn', ••:seers which took up the matter, and almost argued that the tourist was natural prey. This summer a far greater abuae has apparently biome rampant with regard to tourists, ,and takes the form of legal extortion by village con- stables and matistrztos.

KIIIPPEN Presentation.—The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. William Kyle, who were recently married, met in 'Watson's Hall here on Friday evening, July 19, and presented them each with a beau- tiful chair as a small mark of the esteem in which they are held by their many friends and neighbors in this vicinity. There was a very large number present and the commodious hall was well filled. The first parc of the evening was taken up by danc- ing, in which nearly every one tool: part to the splendid music furnished by lVfessrs. Cochrane and Hayter, who are well known skilled musicians.

Doig, the well known lawyer, of Port Huron, to make the presentation ad- dress, which he did in his usual able and eloquent manner, and who had known both of the young people since they were children, and also many of their ancestors, and asked them to ac- cept those chairs ao a small token of the regard in which they are held by their host of friends and neighbors, and hoped that tl;eay would be spared for many years to come, to sit in them, after which Mr. Kyle made a reply on behalf of himself and his wife, in which he thanked all those who had contributed, for their Kind- ness in presenting them with such useful and costly gifts. After the presentation had been made, a splen- did lunch was served by the ladies, to which all did ample justice. Dancing was again resumed and was continued until the wee sma' hours, when all re- paired to their homes, wishing Mr. and Mrs. Kyle many years of happi- ness and prosperity. Mr. Kyle is the eldest son of the late Thomas Kyle. who was la highly respected and hon ored citizen of this community, and Mrs. Kyle, the bride, who prior to her marriage was Miss Florence Ven- ful and accomplished young woman, and is descended from one of the splendid pioneer families of that lo- cality.
