The Brantford Expositor, in its
write-up of its picnic at Port Stanley,
hid the following, which refers to an
old Ciintonite, in the person of Mr.
James O'Neil: "Tip" O'Neil, of the
repertorial department, threatens an
action for assault agaiast various
members of the staff, as they were
desirous of breaking his resolution
of soiling the waters of Lake Erie.
Ile was obdurate, however, and
spent the afternoon with the mar-
ried ladies.
Sir Clifford Sifton, who has written'
an open letter to Senate Bostock on
the question of a union Government,
is seldom heard nowadays in Dominion
affairs, He has been out of active

in 1905 on account of difi'erences of
opinion over the educational clauses of
the Northwest Territories Autonomy

ister when ise was 30. When he. re-

DEATH WEAPONS COST
NATIONS BILLIONS,
In the early days of the war, when
the Germans were turning out 250,000
shells a day, the British were pro-
ducing 2,500 in high explosives, and
13,000 in shrapnel. Before the war
Germany held an average stock of
3,000 shells for each gun, while
France had 700. When the war be-
gan France estimated a daily expendi
titre of 13,500 shells, but before a
year had elapsed she was firing 100,-
000 a day.
According ' to an 'official report of
the French army headquarters, the
French artillery north of Arras fired
300,000 shots within 24 !soars, the
total weight of which would be 8,-
901,000 pounds. During the great
French offensive of Seliteniber, 1915,
in tine Champagne, the French fared at
the rate of 900,000 shots an hour -
1 total of 50,000,000 shots in three
days, on a 25 -mile front.
The cost of ammunition, considered
in the light of Rs Wastefulness, is ap-
palling, says Popular Science Month-
ly. A year ago Canada had contrib-
uted ,$33350,000,000 worth of sliells.
The United States had exported. am-
munition, explosives and flroarnns
worth a half billion. it is heedless to
state that tite kat year Inas been the
most productive Of alt, not only in the
United, States and Canada, but in tine',
European countries es Well, .Figures'
of shell production run into unthink-
able bunions, For this the tremen-
dous eapacity of the gums used is
largely responsible,

PATRIOTIC CARDEN PARTY
'The grand concert which the Young
Ladies Patriotic Auxiliary meld in the
Recreation Park last Thursday evening
was one of the most successful enter-
tainments yet giving by that enterpris-
ing society, The storm which came
Dat just befcw'e eight o'clock doubtless
prevented many from going to the
park but not withstanding there was an
audience of nearly four hundred people
'rlsrouglt the kindness of Mr, 'Phos.
A•tacKenzie, sr., a platform had been
erected in front of the Grandstand.
Thisfait rm
p o was nicely decorated, the
screen at the back being formed by a
large Union Jack and boughs of ever-
green.
The program was througlnly enjoy-
ed, The Kitty Rand very kindly gave
their services to help on the gond
cause and began the programme with
several excellent numbers, The play
"Wrongs Righted" proved to he a bur-
lesque on the movies. The actors in
costume fearful and wonderful gave
the whole melodyarnainn pantomime,
The peals of laughter from
the granstand showed how
ouch this clever little stunt
was enjoyed, Lorne Cook, Cree Cook's
handsome little son, made his first ap-
pearance as a highland dancer and won
load applause, As one of the audience
rel7isrked, it, was worth risking a
storm just to see the little °hap dance"
There was also a splendid drill by
sixteen girls carrying Union Jacks and
Stars stud Stripes,i During the drill
Miss Dorothy Ciucas, a talented young
visitor in town, sang very effectively
a song cif' our new. ally,
The Me.clianical toys, exhibited by
Madame Jerome had among them many
famous charaters including Henry Ford
Charlie 'Chaplain anti Harry Lauder,

A Supposed Spy.
A Schatte, who led the Winghaun
Band for a few months during the
winter of 1915, and who was held in
the armouries there as a suspicious
character, is now being sought by the
Dominion authorities who have reason
to believe that .he is a German spy•-
He tried to land the job as bandmaster
of the 161st Band, but Col. Combe
could not swallow his German tongue,
Corrections
Owing to some misunderstanding
the number of supplies donated by the
Brucetield Patriotic Society was re-
ported incorrectly in the County re-
port of the past 5 months the number
was 943 articles instead of 293, The
Brucetield Society has clone such splen-
did work the officers are sorry this i
error has ocurred. Clinton Women's
Patriotic Society was only given credit
for 154 articles instead of 1,352.
