STARLINGS STARTED "SNITCHING" MAIL Names Will Not Be On Memorial Need More Money Since publishing the names that will be placed on the memorial to be erect- ed in Memorial Park to the memory of those who made the supreme sac- rifice in the Great War several more contributions have been received. On the opposite side from where those names will be placed will be the names of all who sei-ved from this village, but it is the wish of the committee in charge of the erection of the memorial to have all the names of thoes who served from this entire district inscribed on the memorial. To do ihat will require more money than is now available, so it is up to the public and those interested in the boys whose names were not mentioned to get busy at once and make arrangements to have them inserted. The cost will be 2.5 cents for each letter of the name. I Let the committee have your contri- bution this week. If any name is omitted the blame cannot be placed on the committee but to the relatives and others who have not sent in their conributions. FEVERSHAM On Thursday last Mr. Chas. Mel- bourne, Mail carrier on R. R. 1, Brad- fcvd, while on his r»ut« discovered a 6st«rling packing away merriiy at an unstamped lettur lying in the di*eh •bout ten feet from .Mr. John Wa»- icn"« mail box. In»estig«tijig, Mr. Melbourne found that the letter had bee« stolen from the mail boK by the starling, and, lying upon the grouBd below the box, he found the thre« cents which the sender of the lettar had put in the box with the letter for the stomp. This is the fii<st instance of the local mail car- riers having caught these robber birds in the act, though many a starling's nest has been found in the boxes. Last year «onsiderable excitement was Q?used by rumors that letters were be- ing stolen from the rural mail boxes in the Sutton district, until postal authorities actually discovered the starlingt taking mail from the bo.xes, in some cases the letters being found two hundred yards from the box.â€" Allieton HeraP.

A black flag was the symbol of the pirate, now flown only after an ex- ecution to show that the law has been carried out. All over the world a yellow flag signals infectious dis- ea.se, and a white flag in universally a flag of truce At sea, striking of the flag means surrender. When the flag of one country is placed over that of another the victory of the former is denoted. In time of peace, this would be an insult and if done, even by mistake, an apology would have to be made. In the old days, it was customary to trail the flag of a vanquished foe behind the ship. .A very pleasing and always inter- esting event was solemnized by the Rev. H. E. Wright of the United Church On Satusday, June 19th at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Farquahar Mc- Kinnon, when »heir youngest daugh- ter, Sadie Jane, was married to the man of her choice, Mr. Barl Lindsay Davies, sen of Mr. W. E. Da vies and the late Mrs. Davies of Kettleby. Mr. Carl Black of Kettleby acted in the capacity of groomsman, while hei sister, Mary, was bridesmaid, dress- ed in yellow sheer and hat to match, with flowers of Talisman roses. The bride's dress was floor length orchid mousilene de sole, with matching hat, and she carried Joanna Hill roses. The mother's dress was black and white printed georgette, wearing a corsage of Talisman roses and lillies of the valley. The pretty lawn wed- ding was performed under an arch, decorated in pink and white June roses, banked with ferns and over- greens. The home was attractively decorated with summer flowers. The wedding music was played by Mrs. Fred Davies, .Aurora, sister of the erroom. The bride's travelling cos- tume was Maywine printed georgette, with matching accessories, and coat of champagne twill, with a corsage of orchid from the office staff where she was employed in Toronto. After a short motor trip to northern Ont., they will reside near .Aurora. Our best wishes accompany them through life. A red letter day was held here yes- terday, an epoch-forming one, let us hope, when the long outstanding note against St. Columba church was burn- ed, (at the stake), the match being scratched in orthodox style, by Mr. John Weir, oldest member of the Ses- sion. Trea.surer McBride gave a very pleasing statement of finances, which was a result of the canvas inaugur- ated by him. All outstanding sal- EUGENIA On Sunday R«v.
