A lady friend accompanied hev home. John Winters has a sheep lh»t pro- duced four lambs this season. The whole family are alive and frolicking around their mother. A great many- fruit trees in ihis section are either dead or dying, it is thought on iiccount of the severe frost la.st winter. Plum and pear trees have suffered most. Sir. Brown has returned from ( )spioy township and taken possession of the Udell house. Joseph Croft raised a large frame batn kst week. The block and pulley system was used. These farmerettes in \V. J .

Ole Bill Writes From Switzerland 'Irlie Advance haf received the follow. ing letter trom an interned soldier in Switzerland. The writer does not give his correct name fur obvious reasons, bu' we understand that Pte- Vted Suii h of Kugeiiia is ' he author. Dear Sir,â€" Having heard through a certain source that you would be pleaded to got a letter from anyone in the army, I determined to immediately send you one. I Would like it to be one that w ould bring good results. You see it is with an eye do the interests of the good old Hag that I am writing this at all. What I am going to say relates to man power, as they say today. Is it possible for Canada to send many more men to the army ' Can the women of Canada do any more than they are doing to allow of more men joining up i If not, do they not realise what they owe the army for protecting them against German Militarism I But then, if only nil men would only tiy to imagine what theii feelings would be just supposing that all men were slackers and that Germans were in possession of Canada,' why everyone medically tit at all would insist on going to the front. Just imagine fur a moment our women and children undergoing the horrible Irent- ment the iuliuinan outrages and insults as the unfortunate Belgians received It's up to every man who is physically able to do his utuiost and the wuinou's du'y to see that every niiu available aliall g", as tliey a^e doing in "Blighly." No one knows better than i do fur experience (I believe that old saying) is the best teacher. If there is anyone who Joes not believe that, I advise them to try only one riiouth in lierinaity. .So you see, the procpeot of being under (jeniian rule during a life time (if you don't like to ihink of any one else) would not bo very pleasmr, would il '.

Henry Diebel, of Holsteln, was instan- tly killed recently when he full between two moving cars, at Fergus, sti'pping The late Lieut. J. 0. Allison The many friends of the late Lieut. Allisun, of lh» Royal rlymj Coru<, learned with regret the sad news that reached his home a few days ago. In many respect* John Oliver Allison, or Uilic. ihe name by which he was knuwu, hkd a lirillianr eareer. He w.i.s born I'd years ago on what is familiarly known in 0-prey as the gravel road. The â- .•haiac- terittic-i which distinuuished lii>i later life very euily displayed themselves. The child was fjther l.i the man. Even ihen his friendly ilivposilioii, his frank, open countenance won him many admiivrs who prophiBied great things in the corning days. He received ilie ruciiuicnts of instruc- tion at Maxwell school. What he leal nod there only whetted his appetite for more. He felt he must follow knowlec'ge still further. AcourJingly he speiittwo years in Mcaford high school. With the iiitenliou of aciiuilting for greater ufcefiilne.ss in life, he gatheied •xperiencB and funds, by teaching school three years, to help carry him into the University of Toronto, where he entcrid the Faculty of Medicine in lilU. Here his winsome spirit again shone out and gathered about him a warm circle of friends. Not content with taking the s udies prescribed in the curiiculum, having heard the call of humanity in peril, he added other studies with a view to (|ualiiying himself for a cominission iu the army. During the summer of lUltJ he attend- ed the O.T.C, wusgazettc't Lieut., paid a sh )rt visit home and went overseas that same fall. In England his restless ambition to be di.ing things led hiin to siiek a transfer into the R F.O. instead of waiting for an opportunity to cross the channel in his owu rank. The same application was Iicie displayed. In due cuui.Me he became a cndet, finishing hi.s training amongst the pyramids of Egypt. Several month.s weie spent by him iu scouiiiig over the Medilerranean for the lurking pirates of the s-ea highways, the submarines. From there he was des- patched to 'he cradle of our race, Meso- potamia, where he tulhllcd the various duiies that fall t'l ihe lot of .'ur biave and fe.irl.iss birdmcii. i'liB liuiil call came, as he would have hi'ped, and as we who knew li'.in expected It AuuKI, while he was .it the pi.i.st of duty. lie was lju- who never feared, lutnurched breast forwiud.
