TIIE SACRED BAND CONCERT;
Clinton, which on Sunday is usual-
ly :very quiet, presented a somewhat
more lively appearance on Sunday
afternoon last when the Huron Bat-
talion band gave a sacred concert
from the band stand. , The weather
being fine and warm everptody who
could do so seemed to be out walk-
ing or driving about listening to the
music, which was excellent. Clinton
will indeed miss its soldier boys and
the Battalion Band when the time
comes fox henliz
forthem to tropi a else-
where.
1VIINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION.
Members of the Ministerial' A's-
sociation met on ' Monday . of this
week in St. Paul's client school
room. Rev, F. C. Harper presided.
The speaker for the day Was Rev.
J. A. Robinson, who, gave a valu-
able. review of Prof. Fosdick's new
book on prayer. The subject pre-
sented, as well as the book, was
discussed in an informal but helpful
way by all present ; and Rev. Mr.
Robinson received the thanks of the
Association.
It was agreed to have" the next
meeting at Bayfield on the fourth
Monday in June. The members of
the Association Iiving there will
arrange the program for the clay.
130Y SCOUTS ORGANIZED.
A .troop of Boy Scouts has been
formed in Clinton with Rev, J. A.
Robinson, rector of St. Paul's
church, as scoutmaster. A meeting
was called together about the middle
of April, at the instigation of sever-
al of the boys, and it was decided
to organize and arrangements were
made for the organization meeting,
which was duly held about a fort-
night ago, and the troop formed
with Rev. J. A. Robinson as scout.
master and Messrs. C. D. Bouck as
secretary and I3. 1]. Rorke as as-
sistant. Six patrols of nine each
with a ,patrol master and an assis-
tant have been formed and for the
Present tests, are being _made
and
those considered best suited
for 0 the
positions .of patrol imasters will be
appointed.
Rev. Mr. Robinson is eminently
well fitted for a scoutmaster. FIe has
been interested in the movement ever
since it was instituted by General
Baden-Powell after the Boer war. He
was at Norwich at the time and
that town and Woodstock organized
together, he having previously writ-
ten Gen. Baden-Powell for literature
concerning the movement. So quick-
ly did the idea "take" in Canada and
so many towns took it up that it is
not just known where the first troop
of Boy Scouts was formed but the
Woodstock- Norwich one was at least
one of the very first in Ontario. Mr.
Robinson also had charge of a
u
troop of Scouts at Thornbury, bis
last charge before costing to Clin,
ton.
The Boy Scout movement is not a
military movement at all, though
there are still a few people w1i
seem to hold that idea. It is an
organization the aims of which is to
supplement _the various existing
educational agencies and to promote
the ability of boys to do things for,
themselves and for others. The
method, according to a book of in-
structions sent out by the Boy,
Scout Association, "is summed up
in the term Scout -Craft and consists
in First -Aid, Life Saving, Tracking,
Signaling, Cycling, Nature Study,
Seamanship and other. Instructions."
Such instruction is given by means
of games, team play, etc., and is
pleasure not work for the boy. He
is taught a high sense of honor ;
true patriotism and loyalty, to his
Icing, his parents, his country, ;his
officers and his employers. IIe is
taught the duty of usefulness ; to
be a good friend ; kindness to an-
imals
nimals ; courtesy ; obedience to those
in authority ;*purity in thought,
-word and deed ; cheerfulness and
thrift. The Scout's motto is "Be
Prepared," and means that a scout
is always in a state of reacliae,s
in mind and 'body to do his fluty.
The Scout oath is very simple and
still very comprehensive. It - runs
thus : "On my honour I promise
that I will do my best to do my
duty to God and the King ; to help
otherpeople at all times ; to obey
the Scout law." One of the ideas of
the movement is embodied in the
Scout law : "To help others and to
do at least one good turn every
day,"
The Clinton troop is of course in
the "Tenderfoot" stage but ' the
members are quite enthusiastic over
the work. They expect to have their
uniforms in the course of a week or
so, each boy by the way being ex-
pected to earn the money to pur-
chase same. Most of the boys al-
ready report having a suTeieut
amount on hand • and they will soon
be able to appear dressed in un-
iform.. As soon as the weather per-
mits they will take Saturday n after-
noon hikes into the woods and it is
hoped that arrangements will be
made for a camp during the sun-
nier, probably near the Lake
somewhere. Success to the Clinton
Boy Scouts. •

AN ADDRESS ON SHAHESP13ARE
-Rev. Alexander MacMillan of Tor-
onto on Monday evening in the Owen
Memorial Hall gave a lecture on
Shakespeare before the 'Travel Club
and a number of their friends, Mr.
MacMillan is a charming speaker and
anyone having heard hint once always
looks forward with anticipations of
pleasure to another apportunity. As
he has on moreha
t a one occasion'
spoken before tine Travel Club In the
past it was, therefore, an apprecia-
tive audience which gathered on Mon-
day evening.
On rising Mr. ]MacMillan said that
he was using no mere figure of
speech when he assured his audience
that he was pleased to be present
for there was no place he would ra-
ther speak than in Clinton and no
friends it gave hint greater pleasure
t'o meet than his old friends in Clin-
ton. He began his address by say-
ing that he could only touch on a
few points in Shakespeare's works as
that was all that could be done in
a single evening. He called attention
to the preparations made for the ad-
vent of such a genius as Shakes-
peare in the revival of learning in
England at that period : of the revi-
val of religious fervor as evidenced in
the Reformation, and the growth and.
developement of the English language,
all of which seemed to .he as it were
a setting of the stage for the great
actor. Be then gave a brief, sum-
mary of. the poet's life and 'several
short selections from his works illus-
trating his love of nature;
the kind and finality of his
humour and his keen sense
of right and wrong ; qualities which
run through all his works. Mr,
MacMillan spoke with the charming
ease of one thoroughly familiar with
his subject. His selections were chos-
en with rare taste and his address
was all too short for those who lis-
tened with unabated interest, through-
out. One of the results of the ad-
dress will no doubt be a more diligent
and intelligent study of England's
dramatist and this is the end which
Would he most wished, as the srea';er
himself remarked. At the conclusion
of the address NIr, C. D. Bolick
gracefully moved a vote of thanks
to the speaker and to the Travel
Club fox the pleasure of the evening,
which was seconded by Rev, S. J.
Allen, Rev. F. C. Harper occupied
the chair in the absence of Rev, J..
A. Robinson, who was to have presid-
ed, anil during the evening Miss Clete
Ford contributed a piano solo and
Mrs.la Penetiere and Nliss Beatrice
Greene each a vocal solo, all of which
were much enjoyed.
Mr. MacMillan came at his own
expense and delivered his lecture
free, but the Travel Club arranged
for a silver collection to be taken in `
aid of Red Cross work;;

WAS ONCE GRAIN CENTRE.
The death of W. H. Perrin, record-
ed last week, calls to mind the fact
that he was the last of a trio of
grain buyers who in the earlier days
made Clinton famous as a grain
centre. In the early 70's grain from
as far north as Teeswater and as
far southas Exeter o fotmd its way to
Clinton market, l:
et, and the present site.
of the Public library. was the scene
of much competition, The buyers at
that time were Richard Irwin, Phos.
Stanbury and W. 13. Perrin, all de-
ceased. These men bought and sold
on their own behalf, and while they
at times made money, the unladen -
ate fact has to be recorded that
each died comparatively poor. At
that time there was great competi-
tion between Seaforth and Clinton
as a market, and buyers often paid
a cent or two more a bushel than
the market. warranted, thousands of
bushels often being marketed in a
single day, while there is hardly this
much handled' in a whole season now.
Mr. W. G. Bt_oadfoot, now and for
some years a resident of Tuc:rer-
smith, was also a grain buyer at
that time, he purobasing for Fairs'
mill,

AN OCCASION' OF INTEREST.
The mtvefling of the ".Roll of Iron
or" in Ontario Street Church o
Sunday afternoon .was an occasion o
unusual interest. The Roll itself,
which is a beautiful piece of work
by Miss Lucille Grant, is worth in

fleeted with t rho -flitch and nl tvh
0
enlisted h
for the war. Those names
amps
were read out on Sunday. Mrs. An-
nie Beacom, who with Mrs. W. Walk-
er, had the honor, as mothers of

(lags with wliiclt the honor roll was
covered, Then came a. brief address
by Mrs. Alin, representing the Sun-

e
also contributed several selections.

sided and in closing said there was
