Both Chief of Police Lannin and Magistrate Makins expressed con- cern the other day regarding the pre- valence of crime among boys from fourteen to eighteen years of age. "We never had so many complaints of highway robbery, false pretences and thefts before,' said the Chief. "In the last forty-eight hours no less than six youths have been in court charged with such crimes." Magis- trate Makins expressed the belief that the application of the lash would stop the epidemic of petty larcency among boys. Owing to the pressure of space last week, no mention was made of the fair night concert, which was one of the best ever given here. The numbers were all well rendered and encored by the huge crowd. Miss Louie Rodney was strong in child drew great applause as the funny man.

The annual convention of W.M.S. for the Stratford district will be held in the Methodist church, Milverton, on Thursday, Oct. 11th, commencing at 9.30 am.

It is now said that an upshot price of $1.25 a bag.may be put on pota- toes. Those who planted many po- tatoes this year will remember the conditions under which they had to buy seed. Although persistently ur- ged to do so they never raised a fing- er to check up the speculators who were doubling up their money on seed potatoes at prices that were ridiculous and scandalous, going in many cases to over $5 a bag. Right then was when control should have been instituted. There's small need for regulation now, as the large crop will settle the high prices. The great work of the British Red Cross is illustrated by figures show- organization now approximates $300,000 a week, or $16,000,000 a year. These figures appear in a let- ter, which is now being sent out to every city, town and village in Can- ada in connection with, the annual appeal for funds, to be made _ this year on Thursday, October 18th. The communication shows that for the first year of the war total expen- ditures were $8,500,000 and for the second year slightly over $9,000,- 000.

If it will help the men at the front we ought to be able to promise cheerfully and heartily to do without bacon and beef to the end of the war ----not only two days a week, but en- tirely.. If the people at home are not prepared to make sacrifices they are not worthy of the fine brave chaps who are representing them at the front. The directors of the Mornington fair request that all who have evi- dence that their winnings differ from that reported in The Sun to call at the Secretary's office and have same rectified at once. There are also a number of members who have not yet paid their membership fee, who are requested to call and settle at once so that the books may be made up. The Registrar vacancy at Kitch- ener caused by the recent death of John D.

Merner, who%has held the office for more than trenty years will be retained. Many country churches once strong, to-day are numerically weak, because the young are leaving the country villages for some congested metropolis. Country churches are a mighty factor in the moral world and deserve every possible encourage- ment. The society of a country dis- trict centres around the little church and when that church declines, rural society disintegrates. -- Plattsville Echo. ' JOSEPH BERGER. Death came suddenly to Mr. Jos- eph Berger, an old and highly re- spected citizen of Milverton on Wed- nesday sometime before 12.30 o'clock Mr. Berger was digging his potatoes, and not arriving at his usual time for dinner, his wife went out to look for him and found his lifeless body in the potato patch. Mr. Berger was born over 66 years ago in Waterloo township and came to Mornington with his parents three years later. When 22 years of age he married Miss F. Luckhardt, who, with a fam- ily of two daughters, Mrs. J. Gern- haelder, of Elma and Mrs. J. Schmidt of Waterloo, survive him. Mr. Ber- ger has been a resident of Milverton for 43 years and,was a carpenter by trade. He was a Lutheran in religion. He was of a quiet disposition and held in high esteem. For years he had been affected with asthma, which undoubtedly hastened his end. W. D. Weir's Sale Register Saturday, Oct. 18th--Household ef- fects for John Engeland Milverton.

With the proclamation calling up the men will also be published reg- ulations by which Tribunals appoint- ed to hear applications for exemption tween three and four week's delay, after the. issue of the proclamation, in which applications for exemption may be filed. This will bring the Tribunals into full operation it is ex- pected, early in November, and prob- ably by the middle of 'the same f {month the first batch of men--there are many who will. not claim exemp- tion -- will be with the colors. An appeal from the decision of.a Local Tribunal will have to be filed within two or three days after the applicant is notified that his claim for -exemp- tion was disallowed. Only "A" Men to be called. From the medical point of view, men who have submitted themselves for physical examination are divided into. various categories. Only "A" men -- those fit for general service overseas -- will actually be called to the colors. All within Class 1 should however, send in either a report for service or a claim for exemption. The certificate of the Medical Board is to be attached. Men in Class 1 placed in any medical category other than category "A" will then be grant ed exemption till men within their category are called to the colors. When "B"' and "C"' are so called any other ground they may have for claiming exemption will be consid- ered. Eight Grounds for Claims. No special class, occupation or trade will be granted exemption as such, but exemption may be claimed on eight separate grounds: (1) Importance of continuing em- ployment in habitual occupations. (2) Importance of continuing em- ployment for which applicant for ex- emption is specially qualified. (3) Importance of continuing ed- ucation or training. (4) Serious hardship owing to ex- ceptional financial. obligations. (5) Serious hardship owing to ex- ceptional business obligations. (6) Serious hardship owing to ex- ceptional domestic position. (7) Tll-health or infirmity. (8) Adherence to religious Ae- nomination of which the articies of faith forbid combatant service. Causes for Delay. It was at first hoped to have the proclamation issued by the end of September but unforseen delays pre- vented such a course. The Board of Selection was unable to make its ap- pointments to Local Tribunals, and will not complete them till next week The enormous mass of printing re- quired has also been somewhat of a difficulty. Fifty different classes of forms are required in connection with the administration of the act, and millions of forms and circulars have been printed. When the Board of Selection finishes its work, how- ever, (the board meets again on October 9th), everything is expect- ed to be in readines for the call. Negotiations are under way, it is understood, between Ottawa and Washington with a view to bringing Americans of military age resident in Canada within the scope of the draft law. Canadians resident in the United Stats would similarly be affected under the American law.
