Mrs. Ransom, of Kitchener, is at present visiting at the home of Mrs. Geo, Manser. , Mr. Leslie Hymers, of Donegal, The concert held by the Farmers' Club last Thursday evening was a de- cided success: MEN OF CATEGORY "B" ARE TO BE CALLED Responding to a demand from the military authorities, the Military Ser- vice Council has decided to eall up for_service men in medical category B. under the Military Service Act. Category B men are liable for over- seas, but not for combatant service. They are being called out because of the necessity of securing more men for railway construction and similar service. The official memorandum follows: railway construction and other simi- lar work has arisen, and it has, there- fore, become necessary to draft all men in medical category B, in respect of whom no other grounds for exem- ption exist. "The Military Service Council is, therefore, issuing instructions to Re- gistrars to take immediate steps to call up such men. "Under the procedure heretofore 'adopted, questions arising in regard | to the exemption of men in medical | category B on. ether grounds were | postponed until men in the same | medical category should be called up, {and these men, as well as their em- ployers and relatives, will, therefore, 'be given an opportunity of present- ing claims for their exemption." | RET ES AAN Te EGGS AND POTATOES CHEAPER | Guelph Mercury. , .The expected drop in eggs took |place this morning at the market, and the large supply that was brought in was sold at an average price of 40 leents per dozen. Some of the farm lers insisted on 42c and 45c, but the '40e price prevailed, and before noon |the eggs were selling a cent or two 'cheaper than that figure. Butter went jas low as 45 cents a pound, with the }general price ranging from 47c to 50¢ |Potatoes were also cheaper to-day, jone load being disposed of at $1.35 jper bag. This was an , exception 'however, the majority of the farmers fasking from $1.70 to $1.80 and as| high as $2. .The high priced ones | | were not very popular, as potatoes | are being sold in the local stores to- | day around $1.60 and $1.75. The! market was a large one, and heavy | supplies of small vegetables were of- | 'fered for sale, with the price remain- , ing the same as last week. Fine pot- | ted plants, including nice hyacinths | and daffodils, could be had to-day for | 15 cents a plant, and found a ready | sale. Hothouse lettuce and radish | could also be had at 5 cents a bunch, | Several second-hand cars were also | sold to-day on the square at which 1 iting friends at St. Clements for a, was 2a business visitor here this week. | "A military demand for men fora 'in these sunken alleys. \to be in the fray shortly and will written from France recently says in }part: I must say that I have been jused mighty white by the friends in the old burg and their kindness is |fully appreciated. My chum and I 'are hard-up now as' we took a few million out in French Liberty bonds the other day and it has left us badly bent. The realm around which I have ecapered for the past few weeks has not been fussed up much through war and outside of an occasional visit jof the gentry who travel by the cloud route and drop their junk from on high, nothing startling so far has tak- en place. After an extended period of training, I thought I had at least mastered enough detail of warfare to get by in the big show, but here I jam at a knowledge factory again. (This time, the instruction includes a \little insight into the Hun machines lused for propelling nerve-racking lprojectiles. The study is interesting, \but I live in hopes that Heine will some day wake up and turn his assort- ment of Krupp products on the Junk- jers who seem bound to drive the Ger- man nation to the depths of ruin. 'Rumors at present reach us that he soon make a big effort to step on our mush and push us off the map. It isn't, however, causing much loss of isleep among our troops and it is a isafe wager if Hindy sends his storm- [ers across the ditches it will mean a decrease in the population of Ger- many. Of course, when the Germans snuff out it also means a loss of a {considerable number of our men.

Their policy seems to be to continual- ly peck away at Heine's line, a raid here and another there--the results are small in a way, but they do not | tend to strengthen the morale of the | War-weary army of men. I know in one case where a raid was pulled off, bunch of Fritzes simply quit with- out a shot or bomb being fired and those that got a flying start beat it so fast that their pursuers were distanc- ed, Lately I have spent a few happy 'hours in the company of some of the boys frem the old-town. Among them-were Andy Bach, Perce Spencer Bob Semple, Billy Tatchell, Arthur Wood, Eddie Boeckner and Art Rud- ow. All are well and appear to be holding their own on the Mulligan. Naturally the boys were elated over the news that Milverton had gained a place in the hall of fame as a result of the Dominion elections. Every man has atright to his own opinion in ordinary times, but in war times, conditions are altered, especially if the disturbance happens to hit too close to home; therefore it would be wisest to finish the war first. Then the laxity and rottenness and profit- eering could be cleaned up after. |L'erhaps some may think that the men in the army are asleep so far as poli- tical matters are concerned, but they labor under a delusion... Some 'day perhaps, Canadian capitalists may iearn to their sorrow that the fighting 'men were not doing the Rip Van Winkle-act. In one of my previous letters I was unjust in my remarks to the Milverton Tribunal, but I have since learned that the men let off, whom I feel should be in the ranks were not clear timber.
