WELLS BEACH HAS

PROVED HIS HEROISM

Wells Beach, Oct. M-The rescue Of
jerry A. Low on Sept. /, 1913. for which
ne has Just been awarded a Carnegie
medal, is not the first feat of the kind
which Herbert E. Varney can claim
credit On two other occasions, once
when he was only Is years Of age. he
saved people from drowning, but being
an expert swimmer, he does not seem
to mind his heroic acts in the least and
is much averse to- talking about them.
The rescue of Low took place on .
day when it was very rough at sea-
Young Earney had been fishing and
when he returned he saw a big crowd
gathered on the beach watching Low.

struggle out beyond the bar. The sea
was running so heavily that il was i'm
possible to launch boat and SO Varney
stripping himself of his superfiuous CLOTH

the third and last time. With the bur-
den OF the unconscious form to bear Var

cover consciousness for several hours
When Varney was only Is years of
age he rescued Alfred Nelson of Rox-
bury, Mass, who had an exceedingly
close call from a watery grave. An
other time he risked his life to save
two boys who were out in boat, with
little hope Of being able to reach shore.
Varney says that this was one of the
greatest risks that he ever took. and he
is bit doubtful II he would have ven

LAMBERTON ITEMS

Last week H. Ruddy Sr. and
Ben Coulter returned from
visit to Toronto, their former
home.
John Coulter, who has been
visiting his sons northwest of
town, has returned to his home
in Illinois.
Mr.. Burk, living near Mason
City, Iowa, and owning a farm
north of town, returned home
after finishing his threshing
here.
The schools are badly crowd
ed for room, one grade meeting
in the City Hall, the new house
not being ready. There is a corps
of fifteen teachers.
The Methodists are contemp-
lating building or buying a par
sonage.
Rev. B. R. Campbell, having
remained in charge of the church
as long as the rules permit, does
not expect to be returned. He
has gone to conference. Rev.
Campbell has been a very eff
cient pastor.
Threshing is in progress.
While most small grain is pref
ty good, wheat is reported poor.
The corn crop is still pretty
green. While some of it is out
of the way of frost, the bulk
it is not, a part of it being very
soft.-Jot.
