The first thing after dinner the
streets were crowded for the parade 10
pass, 11 was a long time in 'starting
but when it did get started it was
worth seeing. Heading the parade was
good old Uncle Sam and John Bull,
The 'Clinton Silver Band and the two
boy pipers came next. After the band
was Mr. 11. B. Forster's' little ponies
With a double seated buggy decorated
in white, The space that Clinton
boys at the front was tilled up with a
red banner for each one carried by boy
scouts and other boys, Mr, G. Gil.'
christ had his big Russel car decorat-
ed up as to submarine and his success
made a good feature for the parade a-
long with the six sailors accompanying
it. Mr, Ed. Scruton's dray was decor-
ated up with Britania standing on the
wagon, 'rhe long string of decorated
cars were so well decorated that it
made a hard job for the judges to a-
ward the prizes right.
The trade floats were web thought
out, Mr, Sant Castle had a balky lamb'
as the ".Kaiser's Goat" and he cer-
tainly seemed like it with the knife
above him to keep hint quiet. The
clowns were also quite its attraction.
The new ways of fanning was quite an
attraction. Miss Amy 'Howson drove
one of the tractors sold by Mr.- T.T.
Murphy this. summer. Attached on
the tractor was a hay rack with a
group of farmerettes. Another in-
teresting feature of the procession ryas
that of .the Kaiser narking the Russian
bear dance around It forced home to
some people how Germany could twist
Russia around her little finger. Fol-
lowing is a letter which the judges
wrote to the society:—
To the Young Ladies Patriotic Society:

Thanksgiving in November,
• Ail' Ottawa despatch says that there
is some likelihood of the date for
-Thanksgiving. day this year being set
for November. The idea is to equalize
the Hite between Labor Day and
Christmas;
Bee -keepers have been anxious as to
their winter supply. of sugar, and have
written the food control board asking
that consideration be given then, They,
have received n reply promising this,
but the weather may help them to save
the. sugar, and aid conservation, wlticlt
they are eager to do. During the last
week the bees have been gaining rapid
ly in their winter hoarding of honey,
and if this gain is maintained little
sugar will be regiuerd, However, the
honey crop is not going to be large.
