Diedâ€" In Artemesia, on Thursday, Aug. 17, Wm. Roy« infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Ruski^II, aged 8 months. Inierniant took place at Mt. /ion cemetery. At the annual treasurer's .sale of lands for taxes in Artemesia tiiwnsliip there Is only one lot to bo put up, and that is .'i half acre lot in the village .of Proton. This speaks well for the townnhip. Mrs. Sutton "ind daughter, Mrs. ,Butchins(in, of Rochester, N. Y., who have been the guests of Mr. and Mrs. A, Ulslop of the Valley for the past fort- night, returned to their homes Monday. The Clarksburg planing mills, owned by A. E. Pedwell, were burned to the ground. The building and machinery cost over $10,000 and was insured for $1000. The stock was estimated al $16,000 and was partially insured. The cause of the fire is a mystery. Water power was used with steam for drjing. Scott Laidlaw of Lions Head, a brother of Miss Ina Laidlaw who attended high school here, has been awarded the Military Medal for conspicuous bravery. He was a member of the 5lh Bait, and has been in the trenches nearly a year and a half. His medal was won when hu and two olhera rescued a inachi.io gun cutofi'by the enemy on June 2, making thoir way regardles-s of .shot and shell to where the men were lying and guiding them to safely. A writer in tho Durham Review has this to say of the Chosley oemetory : "In Chesley the cemetery is owned by the town. Chesley claims it is a paying investment, too. Chesley piiiployii a salaried caretaker. Owiieis of plots pay an annual fee of $1.50 to the town treasury. Chesley cemetery is made a pluca of beauty. Tho jlwell kept w*llis, carefully tended grnve.t, surrounded by the neatly trimmed evergreen.* are a delight to the eye of all who pa.sa iii.siilo tho gi.te." Anil Fleslie;toii j cop'e don't even know who owns or runs their cemetery But tlioy know how it is run all right, uU right. An Owen .Sound lady, whose name wo withold out of charity, undertook on Sunday to convoy in her car a bevy c£ six young ladies to Camp Borden to see their.soldier boys, and left the^county town about 4 a.m. for the 80 mile trip. Before arriving at flesherton they experienced two flat tires. Here they got fixed up and at 9 a.m. left for the east. A mile this side of Maxwell a spring gave out lod they were again held up. The lady 'phoned lo town for a car to come and tike her girls the rest of the way. Five of the bunch wtre aacomraodated and Borden was reached at 2 p.m. The owner of the car got it fixed some way and continued her trip with tha sixth young woman, arriving! at her destination it 3 p.m. On the return the party left Flesherton for home after refreshments at 12 o'clock at night, a sleepy and very tired bunch. The Udy, whose avordopoia runs iu the neighbor- hood of 280 pounds, evidently has corresponding grit and good nature, taking everything tinilingly, but Sunday was not exactly a day of rest for her or her charming young protege*. The Battle Cry of Peace A picture of special interest in these war times. The scenes shown are repro- ductions of outrages that have occurred all over Belgium, France and other Eur- opean countries that have been overrun by the ruthless Hun. We. have contrac- ted for this high class nine reel movie which is seldom shown outside of cities and costing tlOO lo handle iu order to give our patrons something special. It has received Canadian Military endorse* tnont as being 'the most ettective recruit* ing medium that has ever been u"ed in this country.' See pasters giving what J. (J. Wright, Lt.-Col., has tossy about it. There will also be shown the same evening two reels of the new serial en- titled "The Ma8t»r Key." Don't miss the opening chapters o.' this new ."iO-ree' feature. In the 'i "wn I all, Sept. 7. AdmiEsion 25c. Do Your Bit for the Fall Fair There is one line of work where many farmers are called upon to assist agricult- ure and where too often they neglect to exert themselves and that ia with the fall fair. When this ia read the fair dates for Ontario will have or will be aiinciunc- ed, and they should act as a signal for all directors and committeemen to gat busy. Some directors are energetic in assisting the .secretary befoie the event, on fair day, and after it ia over. ( >ther9 appear only for their badge and dinner ticket. Fortunately the majority of the officers are big enough men to see the import- ance of fostering the local fair and making it a success : but we are appeal- ing to the indifferent directors who have not the manliness to decline the bonois when needed. A fall fair is a local event, and every farmer, whether an ofticer or not, should have pride enough in it to boost it in every way. A gtoater effort should bo made to get the good stock out this season but perhapa this cannot be done without sheds or some better accommodation. Few breeders will riak lying valuable horses or cattle to a fence post. There i.s also, generally speaking, room for considerable improve- ment in the display of c>giiculturHl products Pianos and aewing machines are useful all the time, and are all right at the fair, but the farmer.^ might adopt some of the merchants' entliusiasm regarding the display of goods, and make the products of the old farm eclipae anything the town can bring forth. Endeavour to make a strong feature out of some class of live stock and farm produds ; it will araw the crowd and help tho fair for the succeeding years. Some fall fairs, are noted for their show of heavy and light horses, others for th^ir display of fruit, some again for poultry and veget^ibles, while others make cittlu a drawini? card. Tlio direc- tors should work up these lines and advertise them. Go to the men who have got these things to show and get them to come out. Work for and boost the fall fair so that the pcoplu who are now beginning to see something in agri- culture wiJ be obliged to admit that after all there is nothing that can surpass the <jld farm and what it can produce. â€" Farmers' Advocate. Nicholas lieid, an old resident of St. Vincent liiWHstiip, died in Siskalchewan at thi» age of 88 years. The Town Council is again going into the Bank, this time to borrow $5,000 at tt per cant, until the taxes are due. The present system of collecting taxes yearly must have been framed by the bankers for their own special benefit, as the town becomea an expert borrower at a high rate of interest for at least six months every year. No sane business man who could avoid it would be knocking at tho Bank doors so often for * loan, but cor- poration?, who in law have no souls.seoin aiso at timea to have no heads. Chesley and other towns tiave long ago discover- ed that by collecting taxes half yesrly, the bank loans can be i>voided and the interest saved to the people. But Waik- erton, which has long been a .stampini; ground for sharks with .shell games »nd get rich-(iuick schemes, cuulinues tj be bled by an old system that should have gone into the discard about the lime thg present Councillors put away their teeth- ing rings and baby "pacifiers " and when their high chairs went into final retire- ment in the family attic. To be hugging this antinuatod destroyer of public wealth now is about as out of place as a red nose would be at a temperance gathering.â€" Bruce Herald and Times Toronto Line North Harvest is almoat completed and threshing haa commenced.

Swanton'a gf.te and jumped into the ditch, throwing the occupants out but not doing any material injury. CounciUor Mathewsou should cut down those willows and nut kejp them as a hiding place fur cattle. F. G. KARSTEDT, KARSTEDT BROS.
