Honesty was one of Mr. Porter's mottos and his word was as good as his bond. lei politics he was a conservative. Funeral of Late W. U. Drovers 'The funeral of the Iate Mr. William Edward Groves, former principal of Ryerson School was a large and repre- sentative one. Rev. C. J.

They claim that there is nothing like the hand made socks for wear and conte fort. The members of the Society are very grateful to the Turnberry council for their generous support during the past six been cheerfully Grants have given whenever they were asked, and by means of these the women have been able to accompiish much more than would have been possible, had it been necessary to use time and energy, raising funds by en- tertainments, etc. The Society takes this opportunity of thanking the members of the Council, and all others who have kind- ly helped them in their work. After lunch had been served a vote of thanks was extended to Mrs. Tucker, and the meeting was brought t.o a close by singing the National Anthem.

It condoles, not of a central power, nursing and developing colonioe so that it may reap profit through ultimate exploitation. That was the old imperial idea. With. the British it has been different. The empire consists of a number of eelf- governing nations each one free to make or break its own destiny, and bound to the Motherland with the strong ties that Canadians will say rasulutely, means forever, Those great days, so full of meaning for the men of this land for all time, are still remembered by many of our citizens, Old people can reoall the birthday of Canada and the celebra- tion in all parts of the Dominion, though few of them dreamed that in less than fifty years the new nation would become strong enough to en- gage in a groat world war and to be an important factor in the struggle. When the proclamation of the British North America Act was made, Right Charles Stanley, C les St y, Viscount Monok happened to be the Governor of Canada so that ib fell to his lot automatically to be the first Governor- General of the new Dominion.

Norman. Tho scene was much beautified by an arch prettily decorated with ferns, evergreens in the background. Petri• otism played no emelt part, a flag of each country gracing the arch. During the signing of the register, Edna, sister of the bride, sang "You are the Rote of My Heart." After the ceremony a sumptuous dinner was served to all present. leer a few days the happy couple visited points east, returning to the bride's home for a ehbrt time before taking their journey to their home in Michigan, The bride is one of Ontario's excel. ient daughters much beloved by all who knew her.

They have given their play entitled, "Lodgers taken in" in Belgrave, Lon- desboro, Auburn, Walton and Wing - ham, each time before a crowded house and always receiving well merit- ed praise and applause, The general opinion is that out side the profession there is none better. While there is no partinular moral to the play, it is full of good refined humor altogether irresistable, which made it so popular. Those taking part wore Edna Scan- drett, Eugene Geddes, Mny Hopper, Greta Armstrong. John Stewart, Rey. Boyle, Harold Work, Dr. Kirkby, Charles Johnson and Neil McCrea. The total amount realized for Patri- otic purposes was over $150.00. In each place they paid their own ex- penses, leaving the entire receipts with the society under whose auspices the play was given, and thereby whole heartedly and generously doing their "bit" for King and Country. A Grand Success The Garden Party held at the home of Mr, and Mrs. Donald McCormick, Culross Boundary, on Friday evening, was a phenomenal success. Prettily decorated tables were set in the grove and the waiters were attractively dressed in Red Cross Uniforms. An inspiring patriotic address was deliver- ed by Mr. A. 11. Musgrove M. L.

Under a clear blue sky and fanned by a strong and refreshing breeze, the fiftieth anniversary of the Qonfedere- tiou of Canada was ushered in and be- fore the sun was far past the horizon people began to throng the streets of our little town that was astir from early dawn to put her best robes and to fling to the wind her national en- signs and banners of welcome. All the pretty decorations that were eo taetily arranged on Saturday after- noon and evening came to grief and were a sorry spectacle on Sabbath morning because of the •terrible down- pour of rain. However the early ringing of the morning bell summoned a host of workers Monday morning, and before the hour struck seven the ensigns and flags were again replaced and every- thing was ready for the biggept cele- bration ever held in Huron County. Shortly after 9 o'clock the Oalithump- ian p,„rade and Trades possession began their route headed by the Brass Band and accompanied by a long lino of happy children and a splendid • dis- play of floats. In coming up town they they were greeted with streets already thronged with visitors who had come from far and near. Tho people then repaired to the show grounds where the Calithump- iane oujoyed a football match and• the children had their schedule of races, sharp at 12 o'clock the Red Cross Society had dinner ready and every- one testified to the excellence of the meal, which was enjoyed by four or five hundred people. At 1 o'clock beautifully decorated care were on exhibition and were judged by A. M. Crawford of Wing - ham, and Sam. Carter ]3iussele. Then began the full schedule of sports which kept up interest at high tension until 5 o'clock when Listowel and Clinton played a splendid game of baseball. The programme of addressee was dispensed with, became) a number of the speakers were unable to be present, Messrs Bowman M. P., Merner M. le. both of whom hacl written they would be here if their absence from the House were permitted. were not able to -come, However A. I3, Mus- grove M, P. I'. was on the grounds with a number of the County Coun• tailors, but they chose rather to enjoy the games rasher than do any talking, Every department did a flourishing business. All the booths were well patronized and the Girls War Auxil- iary had a profitable day with their fishpond, baeear and refreshment booth, A very interesting rendezvous was the Pioneer's Pavillion, presided over by many of the early settlers of this yicinity who signed the register. All honour to our brave forefathers who came to the forest primeval and levelled the forests and enduring priva- tions untold and bequeathed to ns our fields of flgwing grain and homes of comfort and luxury. Dr. Blackall made a fine herald. Possessed of a strong, clear and sten- torian voice,with the assietance of a trumpet he could easily be heard by the vast crowd. Rev. W. B. Hawkins the indefatigable secretary and G, M. Chambers were kept busy all day keeping the record of winners and paying the prizes. . There was a general free-for-all and open house down town all evening and yet there was an entire absence of any unseemly conduct or rowdyism. A little over three hundred were able to gain admission to the Hall to hear the Forest City Male Quartette assist- ed by local artists, The Quartette fully sustained the good name they had won Last winter before a Blyth audience, The readings by Miss Far- row were exceedingly clever. In all it was a great day and a pro. uouncecl success, T h e beautiful weather, the entbueiasm of all the workers and the supreme cause for which it was organized, all contribute to make it a day loug to be remember- ed, Cranbrook Mr, and Mrs, Harold Parker of Wing - ham were visitors at the hotne of Wm„ Perrie.
