"One thing which the I3orticuitural Society should look .into," remarked a, lady to 'Fhe News -Record the other day, is the way the telephone men are destroying our shade ,trees, They just slash them to suit themselves and if they die, so much the better— for the telephone line. I wish you'd call the attention .of the Society to the matter, ,they might be able to do something." Telephone companies have certain rights but it may be that these are being exceeded. Clinton has always been noted for the beauty of its shade trees and there is really no reason why wo shouldn't have both pretty trees and good telephone ser- vice. Either the council ',or the Horticultural Society should look in- to the matter. • AMONG CIIURCI3ES, Willis Church On Sunday morning next the pas- tor, Rev, J. E.

At the age of sixteen he enter- ed the University of Toronto, gradu- ating in arts in 1892 and in medicine in 1896. After doing reserach work in anatomy and physiology, Col. Malloch went to }Ingland in 1905 and took his fellowship in the Royal College of Surgeons in 1906. In 1908 he. was appointed assistant sur- geon on the staff of the Toronto General Hospital, and at the same Clue was appointed. to the teaching Staif of the University. of Toronto. when Dr. Malloch left for England With the University Base Hospital, No, 4, in May, 1015, he was senior assistant surgeon at the Toronto General Hospital.

SOME REAL ESTATE CHANGES. Sergt,, Welsh, who recently sold his house on Ontario street to Mr. 0. W. Potter of .Goderich township, has rented the house recently vacat- ed by Mr. Chas. Conner on Piing St. It will hardly seem like ]tome for Sergt. Welsh to live anywhere but the east end of the town. Mr. Adam Scott has disposed of his nice little place ,north of town to Mr. John Ilalstead of Goderich town- ship and has purchased for himself Councillor Johnson's cottage on Mary street, Mr. Halstead thus be- comes the possessor of a very nice hone where he can keep himself busy and Aft. Scott of a desirable town house and garden'enougli to give him reasonable exercise. DON'T TRAMP THIYGRASS. In spite of all that can be done to prevent it people will continue to walk across the Library Park. A while ago guards were placed across each end of the path which had been beaten but soon a new path was tak- en outside the guards and is being continually used. While there is snow on the ground no particular harm is done but a beaten path across the grassy sward takes, much from the beauty of the Park. It isn't much farther to follow the walk, and when, the town is endeavoring" sto create beauty spots the citizens should have civic pride enough to assist by refraining at least from destroying beauty. Walking is good exercise ; keep to the walks and let the grass grow. WILL FORM G.W,V,A, I•HERE.

At the meeting of the Clinton branch of the United Farmers last Thursday evening a very interesting lecture, illustrated by lantern views, was given by Mr. Pepleau on "Con- veniences for the Farm Home." The following resolution was pass- ed. during the evening and the sec- retary instructed to send a copy to the member for South Heron : "Whereas, believing that the Day- light Saving bill enacted at the. last session of Parliament and in force during the season of 1918, While it may have been necessary as a war measure, is not in the best interests of the farming industry of this coun- try, Therefore, be- it resolved that we, the Clinton branch of the do' protest against the re-enactment of any such measure at the present session of Parliament."

An editorial in a recent issue of The Globe contained the story of an incident related by a Canadian chap- lain, Rev. 5, G. MclCegney, the new- ly appointed rector of Sc. Paul's church, .Clinton, illustrating the ut- ter lack of .tumour of the :Germans. A document had come into his pos- session, a 'warrant of seizure, order- ing the arrest of a Belgian inn -keep- er because be had•taught his !fog to perform some tricks which offended German official dignity. ; The docu- ment described the tricks, which held the Germans up to ridicule and at which Belgians laughed, and. it was duly signed. and sealed by,,,a General - Lieutenant and a Court-martial judge and the inn -keeper was fined 200 marks. "Is it any wonder," asks The Globe, "that - the Belgian people were supported hi their suf- ferings by the inexhaustible appeal to their humour and high spirits pre- sented by their Teutonic task -.i ns- tnesters 7" A sense of humour is a gift of the gods, which, if a man possesses, he has reason for thankfulness. . MONTAGUE LIGHT OPERA CO. The Montague. Light Opera Com- pany which conies here on the Lyceum course, March Oth, has a splendid re- putation as giving an entertainment full of life and also one that is a pleasure to those who like good music. Recently this company gave a concert at Hamilton, Ohio, and the Republican -News, of that city rcvicw- ed the entertainment as followts ; 'Micro was no s'tru;ling for the centre of the stage and each singer scored a distinct hit. The costumes and stage settings were charmingly picturesque. "The soprano, .Miss Reynolds, Was vocally at her best, perhaps, in her aria from Madam Bttttertly, and at her prettiest as Betsy Ross in "Plea Star Spangled Banner."

Elliott bought the double house ort Huron street. it was a successful. sale altogether, IT IS AMUSING, It is amusing to hear certain mem- bers of tate town council who are al- so prominent in lodge circles, forgot themselves, as they sometimes do at council meetings, and address; His. Worship the Mayor as "'Noble Grand.": Unfortunately we are not sulficiontly regular in our attendance at lodge to say whether the presiding officer there is ever..- addressed as "Your Worship" or not. The .limit was reached one night last year when; one of the councillors went through. some motions when talking to the Mayor that might be understood. and look all right behind the guarded por- tals of some secret society, but look•• ed strangely fantastic in a public meeting, Next thing we know we will be having to give the password, to get' into the council chamber and new members will be required to ride the goat before they will be qualified to take their seat, At that it ntigbt not be a bad idea. The goat could be used as the foundation of that municipal milk depot that was talk- ed of last year, Wouldn't that get Your nanny ?—Goderich Star.
