This is the third time he has been wounded this year. Pte. Johnston en,listed when on- ly 17 And has been in France over two years. His father, Pte. W. Johnston, has also seen active service in France and, at the present time is in England, recovering from wounds received at Vimy Ridge The family came to Mi-. mico from Scotland about 12 years ago, For the first five months of the present fiscal year there was a. de- crease in Canada's foreign trade of $270,000,000, or about 20 per cent. There was a, great falling off alike in manufacture and agricultural pro- ducts exported. The trade was $875,- 000,000 compared with $1,146,000,000 a. year ago. These figures tell the instability of present conditions. Our, trade, though still large, is insecure, and although there is no cause for fear, yet there is need of caution. The government must watch and prepare andso should the individuals. We think we are thrifting, But maybe we're drifting, And the coin that Ive clink is not sav- The news that reached Mimico, stating the death of Lt. Werden, caus- ed a wave of sorrow to pass over the town. Fred was one of Mimico’s onan boys and was known by everyone through his long connection with the post office, and was universally liked. The late Lieutenant was an enthus- iastic worker amongst the young men of the Presbyterian church, and was connected with the choir for a num- ber of years. Leaving Canada as a, captain of the "Pals" Battalion, he later reverted to the rank of lieuten- ant in qrder to get to France. He served there for nearly two years. His death resulted from wounds re- ceived in August, and came as a shock, as it was believed he was only slight- ly wounded. _ In gleaming my meaning, You’ll find gasolining Is still used for dusting instead of tor ing but shifting, For seemingly spending _ Goes on without ending And heedlessness still is the tend ot our trending. l _ cleaning; And most of us batten ' On line fare and fatten, While robing our soft: and satin. on, maybe you’re guilty and maybe you’re not, But ask: "Have I thrifted as much as 7 I ought?"

"Have I thrifted as much as The rally day of the Methodist Sun- day school was observed at Mimico oh Sunday, when Mr. Pearson, principal of the Weston high school, gave an interesting address to the scholars. A duet was sung by Miss Roffe arid Miss E. Batstone. There was a large at- tendance. . V Several Mimico ‘Srouths are said to be implicated in an orchard robbing affair. Constable Reuton has the case under hand and is determined to prosecute the offenders. Pte. R. Trafford, Ross Gauld, son of Mr. G. Gauld, and Arthur Hogg, son ot Mrs. J. Stirk, are included in the Siberian expedition. A splendid concert was given by the New Torpnto brass band in the Sal-- vation Army hall on Wednesday. The programme throughout was excellent and'was thoroughly enjoyed. Several songs and recitations were also given'. Mr. G, Gauld of the Wis. occupied the chair. The proceeds of the Coll- cert are to be devoted to the purchas- ing of the winter's fuel. A dog that belonged to Frank Ger- hardt was ordered by the magistrate to be destroyed, and the owner or- dered to pay one dollar and costs. The dog is said to have attacked several people in the neighborhood and was considered dangerous. . Ross Weise was fined $10 and costs by Magistrate Davidson for assaulting a. boy named Russel Guppy. The trouble arose from a fight between Guppy and Weise's boy. At the motor court there were 167 cases brought, before Magistrate Davidson, the odd 67 being caught on the "gasless Sunday." Many and varied were the excuses given, but the fines were fairly uniform at the rate of $5.00 and costs. A fine of $2 and costs was awarded to G. W. Bry- ant, for teaching a girl to drive on the highway. The magistrate made some scathing remarks to the Sunday offenders and opined that there was apparently a large field for the ef- forts of the [Lord’s Day Alliance. W. EL Green, who stated that he.had to, preach'at Erindale, New Toronto, and Sheridan, was let off on a charge of speeding. The Spanish "Flue" is reported in several cases in Mimico. The local' doctors are being kept busy. l A sale of vegetables and fruits was held on Saturday at Ormselitfe, and was well patronized. Mr. J. Stirk has received word from Ottawa that his son, Pte. Ernest Stirk, who was reported seriously ill at AJ- dershot, is progressing favorably. I should?" TmtrrirrrNc, ARE YOU? (Copyright, 19 1 S, N.E.A.) MlMlCO softness in purple Mr. Editor. [ Fn' v.e6f "7'” Dear sir: There is an old saying: "Where was Moses when the lights went out?" but the question of to- day is "Where are the lights on the Lake Shore Road between Stops 21 and 23?" This is a very dark piece ot road, and not at all safe for any young person to walk. There has been no lights here for some time. Now that we have, a respectable road through the village, it surely. would be a great improvement if it was pro- perly lighted and be a great benefit to the large number ot employees at the various factories round about who have to travel by the cars. I notice that in your last issue of October 2 that our worthy coal merchant states that some four or five hundred tons of coal have been placed out in, five ton allotments. This is all very well for those who have the cash in hand, but what about those who have none at all, and up to the present time has no chance of getting any, according to the statement at the coal office. I hope the fuel commissioner will see that the coal will be properly divided,. so that rich and poor shall be served alike. A good idea would be tor the merchant to take one ton out of the five already delivered and give it to the person whose cellar is entirely empty. It seems to me that the out- skirts of the village sufferin every respect, but we all cannot live close to the coal merchant. Now, sir, I do not wish to take up too much of your valuable space, but this paper is getting to be widely known, and it is a good place to make our complaints known, whether weget sympathy Or not. There are a tew roads, too, that the council might have a look at be- fore the coming winter sets in, which is a perfect disgrace to the village, or perhaps they might open up a few stores where the mud, etc., could be removed from our boots at a small tee-say 50. Those who live in the outskirts of the Village are not, as a rule, greedy, but they 'pay the taxes, and surely they are, entitled to a lit- tle consideration. Before closing a hearty vote of thanks was tendered the entertain- ers. On Monday night Humbervale church was filled to its full capacity, when the annual harvest home sup- per and entertainment took place. Ta- bles were set in the basement and at- ter a supper, which would make the food controller gasp, a first class en- tertainment was held in the church. Rev. Mr. Toye, pastor, occupied the chair and after a short address called upon the choir of the Old Presby- terian church, Weston, who with the assistance of Miss Georgina Burgess, elocutionist, and Messrs. VVorgan and Diggins, violinists, provided the pro- gramme. Solos were rendered by the soloists of the choir, Mr. Beale, lead- er, Messrs. Roy and a Lorne Fraser. Mrs. Allen Peirson and Miss Jean Mc- Lellan, also selections toy,the choir quartette. Rev, Mr. McKay gave a short address and Miss Stella Rown- tree presided at the organ. Trusting that somebody in authori- ty will read the "Advertiser." I remain, m1mhervale annual harvest home services passed off very successfully on Sunday in spite of the inclemency of the weather. Two excellent ad- dresses were listened to and all car- ried away some thought to work out and adapt to their own benefit and uplift, There was a meeting held at Mrs, J. McCullen’s, .7th Street, last Thurs- day, October 3rd, tor the Soldiers' Comforts Association. They discuss- ed the packing of boxes for the sol- diers, which will be done in the near future. The L.O.L., No. 328, held their monthly meeting last Friday in the Methodist Church basement. The us- ual business and items wére gone through. Election of officers will take place at the next monthly meet- ing. Will all members make an et- fort to be present, V. Lt. Haigh, returned from France, addressed' the employees of Brown's Copper and Brass Rolling Mills on the great and urgent need ot putting forth every effort possible to speed up the manufacture ofmunitions. Lieut. Haigh gave a very vivid account of the achievements of Canada's army in France and drew a contrast between the soldiers in the trenches and those men who were engaged in making munitions, in the matter of comfort land pay, and urged the men to con- sider what a cessation of work on their 'part meant to the men who were on the firing line, defending the liberty of all, and pointed out that many large contracts were liable to be lost if the men made unreasonable de- mands upon their employers; for high- er pay. Manufacturers, he said, who had so much at stake, would hesitate to sign contracts for munitions, the essence of such contracts being time, if they could not depend upon the stability ot their employees. The sperrlcerpvound up an earnest appeal to the men by urging that they do all in' their power to co-operate with their employers and turn out all the work they possibly could, even it some sacrifice was entailed. The Lieuten-; ant was heartily applauded at the con- clusidn of his address. i 'The Baptist Young People's Union held their Weekly meeting last Fri- day, October 4th, in the church. It was conducted by the devotional com- mittee. Mrs. Ashley was the leader, who with the help of others made the meeting a success. Be a member and spend a, pleasant evening on Friday. The membership committee to be lead by Mr. Smith will take charge dt the next meeting on October 11th. The Long Branch Baptist Church will hold their: harvest home~on Oc- tober 12th.

The offerings for admis- sion will be taken at the door. Tea, will be from 6 to 8 pun. Following the tea will be from 6 to 8 p.1n. Fol- lowing the tea a. lecture will be giv- en by Mr. McGillicudy of Toronto, both humorous and helpful. At Long Branch on September 28, to Mr. and Mrs. John Cakes, a. sor.1, both doing well.
