"Stratford, Aug. 17th,—Special.)— Sergt, S. L. Grant, a returned 1st Battalion soldier of this citp, who has for several months past been bandmaster of the 161st (Huron) Battalion, now at Camp Borden, has been appointed Band Instructor for Military District No. 1. kle will have oversight over all military Mus- ical organizations in the district, with headquarters at London." Sergt. Otani; was in Clinton . all. Winter as leader of the 161st band while the headquarters were estab- lished here and won many friends, not only by his splendid efficiency as a bandleader but 'for his many other soldierly and man'.y qualities. The 161st band under his leadership reached a high state of proficiency. SAVED DAYLIGHT, LOST SLEEP. Otte 'alter another the cities which adopted the Daylight Saving scheme, patting on their clocks one hour, have gone back to the standard time as being more satisfactory. It was found that in most cases the plan worked admirably for those whose office or business hours ran from nine to five or six but that in the case of factories where work cont• menees at seven o'clock the result was not so satisfactory, it is dif- ficult to overcome the habits of a lifetime anti while people were sup- posed to go to bed by ,the c10ck, they didn't. They were inclined to pay more attention to the moon, when it was visible, or during the heated term to spend tire• evening in the open air until they had become comfortably cool after the heat of the day. Consequently those who were obliged to be at work when the whistle blew, at seven, which was actually six a.m., saved the hour of daylight at the loss_.af anhour's sleep and many of the workers were becoming tagged. Another drawback was the fact that the railroad time remained unchanged and this caused sed much confusion and inconvenience. Whether or not the scheme can be worked out successfully remains to he proved as only a general change of time would be satisfactory, NO MUDDLING. The following despatch will he of interest to many in Clinton as Capt. Jeakins, former rector of St. Paul's church, has a host of friends here. Captain Jeakins is perfectly satisfied with the way Britain is waging war : "Montreal , August filet, -Suffering severely from shell „shock and nerves, Capt. C. Ii. Jeakins,.' chaplain, of the 58th Battalion, Brantford, and pas- tor of St, Jude's church there, ar- rived here last night from Liverpool. "We are fighting' a winning fight, and everyone at the front, as well as all in England, knows it. The people. in England know it, and I never saw such a spirit of optimism and de- termination to see a thing through as I witnessed while I was in Eng- land, recuperating; before I carate back. I don't want to hear any more talk about England muddling through." • "Don't you believe they are mud- dling uddling at all 7" "They have undone in two years all that the Germans took forty .}enars to do." "The outstanding, fact that struck me," continued Capt, Jeakins, "was the indomitable courage and cheer- fulness heerfulness of the Tommies, both English and Canadians. I have been at mov- ing pictures back of the lines, with shells bursting within a hundred yards of place, thethe men and were laughing at Charlie Chaplin, utterly oblivious of danger. They just stood up to their work without a single grouch," "I was brigaded with Ralph Con- nor (Rev. Mr. Gordon), Capt. Allison and Capt. Tompkins, a Roman Cath- olic, and weall livedtogether and to t g worked together In perfect unity: When it came to attending' the wound- ed or burying the dead 'there was no thought of dogma ; it was just a matter between man and his Goal. We would bury Catholics if,neeessary and Father .Tompkins would bury Protestants, and look after the liv- ing in the salve way." How About Yours THE LOCAL MARKET. Wheat jIc15.

Mb,. when the will play both afternoon and evening. The band has putt in a pretty busy season, having been in much demand for garden parties, etc, and the fact that they have been en- gaged to play at the London Fair proves that they have gained more reputation, Leader local re n, than a P Mutch is to he congratulated upon his success in bringing the band up to such a state of proficiency, con- sidering that it was so depleted at the beginning of the season owing to so many members having enlisted. Clinton is proud of its band, and with good reason. CLINVIN BOYS MEET. While punting down the 'litanies at London, Eng., one afternoon recently when he had a half day oil Pte. El- mer Beacom of the Canadian Pay- master's staff, London, landed for a rest and while lying on the bank was hailed by - somebody shouting his name from a passing craft. He was surprised to find that it was Corp. Emmerson Mitchell, wo is in time King's Canadian hospital at Busily Park and who was also out for a holiday cruise. That the Clintoii bolls were glad to meet goes without saying and Pte. Beacom was taken down to the hospital, where many Canadian soldiers are convalescing, among them Pte. E. Huller, who is reported to be making a good recov- ery, PROPlaR'TY CHANCES IIAN'DS. Mr, Geo. II. David has sold his residence oh the Huron Road to Blyth, This is Mr.'Tenney of near h t , y a most desirable property and is always kept in the pink of condition, Mr: David being possessed of a vetyv neat taste and being something of a horticulturist, His garden in the summer season has always been a thing of beauty and never failed to attract the notice of the passerby, Mr. Tunnep is to be congratulated upon his purchase, but it ,is under- stood that he does not get immedi- ate possession. It is understood, al- so, that Mr. David does not con template leaving town, at least not for some tithe, and this is hatter for congratulation as he and his good wife are esteemed citizens whose re- enoval would-be regretted. POTATOES WILL BE SCARCE. Those who Have potatoes growing would do well to give them every possible encouragement to grow as the crop bids fair to be short tilis season and it Is a long time since potatoes commanded such a price. Fifty-five cents per peck is being asked by local dealers and the farm- ers ate among their best customers. Li Brantford the other day a lady bought a peck of potatoes and Paid sixty cents For theist, She was cyr- ions to know just how many she had for, her moneys and counted them and. Lound that there were just fifty- a+ight fair-sized tubers. in the Meas- ure. Over a cent a piece is certainly an abnormal price to pay forpota- toes in Ontario. MODEL SCHOOL OPENED.
