Following is the Chaplain‘s letter, dated 1 3th Sept. 1917 | Dear Mr and Mrs McKinnon, I expect you have already received ofticial word of your son‘s death, which took place here this morning, Sept. 13. When 1 wrote two dijl ago to let you know he was wounded 1 did not think it would turn out so serious, for at that time he was doing quite satisfactorily. He took much worse, however, before he died and passed away this morning. The funeral took place to-d:l and 1 took the service at the grave. & is buried in the Cemetery for British soldiers here and it is very carefully kept and all the graves in good order.

This show would hang its head without the pipes, and ,the presence and performance of Pipers McKeen and Kerr of 0. S»und, added greatly to the pleasure of theafternoon. The dancing teo of Miss Leslie and others was gracefal and pleasing. The gate receip‘s were over $100 ard a good eoncert at night would net the Directors a nice sum, so that they willsqueese through. Here‘s wishâ€" ing them better luck mext year and a hearty support from a wide range of tarmers and homeâ€"makers. One feature, noticeable and regretâ€" table in this and some other shows, is that in a few cases the competition is limited to two or perhaps three pa.tâ€" les as seen in the Prise List. _ No cepsure can attach to these part ies, the show owes much to them, bat to achieve the greatest good a mire general attempt to excel is very deâ€" sirable. If filty farmers are aiming at intensive effort, the resulting good will far outweigh the excellencies of ::y five, who, in a.sense are nmill-] ing. The live stock classes have been better represented but in some cases, jJuadging was no sinecure. The same may be said of poultry . classes especâ€" ially in ducks and geese.
