That our memorial page last week in honor of our Clinton soldier dead was appreciated was amply proved by the number of extra numbers call- ed for.. Every paper left over was, sold and even the spoiled copies were eagerly taken up by those who wish- ed to either keep them or send them to absent friends. For the. conven- ience of anyone who still wishes, a copy we ran oft ,a few extras which we will be glad to supply as long as they last. HEARTS OF THE WORLD. "Hearts of- the World," Griffith's great picture play, was put on in the. town hall on Friday evening under the auspices of the Young Ladies' Patriotic Auxiliary. There was a full house and "Hearts of the World" is undoubt- edly a great play, but it was rather harrowing to the feelings of most people, especially to those who had suffered loss in the war or whose loved ones were not yet home from the field. Its vivid battle scenes were too realistic. But it was well -staged and one of the• best pic- ture plays over brought to Clinton. The opening scenes were very pretty, showing the peaceful, quiet village homes of France, and the pure love of two young people. But after the Germans came there was no more peace nor happiness nor rest and one was too much harrowed up to really enjoy the happy ending to the story. A TRAGIC HAPPENING. Mr. and Mrs. W. Doherty received word on•Sunday evening of the tragic drowning of their two little grand- sons, children of Mr. and Mrs. S. T. Iiempthorne of Saskatoon, Sask. The little lads were playing in their own yard just about noon on Sun- day, their mother being occupied in preparing lunch. They had scarcely been missed but when they' were looked for had disappeared. They were tracked to the river, which was some little distance from the house and where they were not accustomed to going at all, acid the body, of the eldest was discovered floating neat the 'edge. At time of writing the other body had not been recovered. The children were aged four and two and a half years. IF NOT THIS YEAR -ANOTHER. What would be said should a couple I of women run for members of the school board in Clinton this year ? In many of the larger towns and cit- ies women are represented on the school hoards and nobody, surely, is more interesterI in ,the good manage- ment of the schools than the women. No, the idea did not .originate in , a woman's brain. At least" a News - Record has not heard it men- tioned by women. Only men have mentioned it in our hearing and we have not the least idea whether the women suggested for the positions would stand. We are throwing out this hint, however, so that nobody will be too much surprised should two or three women be nominated. SOLDIERS COMING HOME. Amongst the Clinton soldiers ,ho arrived home this week were : Col. Combe, John Marshall, J. E. Cook, C. F. Noble., Soldiers arriving at other points were : Goderich-Reginald Fowler, Mal- colm McLeod, W. H. McCracken, W. Vanstone, T. G. Campbell, J. Young, A. McKenzie, G. H. Bell, W. Grind- rod and Quinn.

Pocock. Bayfield -A. C. Brandon. Zurich -J. L. Rutledge. Prisoner Repatriated -Clinton -G. Cudmore, Mrs. Kempthorne was formerly Miss Helen Doherty, being the young- est daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. Doherty. She visited here last year with her little sons, who were fine, healthy, lovable children. Much sym- pathy is felt here for the stricken parents and grand -parents. A strange coincidence Is the fact that a few years ago a cousin 'of these little fellows, the only son of Dr, and Mrs. Holmes, was drowned in the same river. People You Know Miss Lydia Morrish of Detroit 1s visiting her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. D. Macdonald of town. Mr, and Mrs. A. Case, who have been in town during the autumn months while the evaporator was in operation, left on Monday for their home at Rose, N.Y. every home in Canada.

A few days ago ,it was re- ported in many papers that the Mon- treal Herald had gond into liquida- tion.
