And'not only these but the mothers, the wives and chidlren. He recalled the high idealism of the war years, when the 'spirit of self-sacrificeself-sacrifiee Pre, Veiled, and it was fondly hoped .that this- was a war to end war, We had decome disillusionized. Wiar, could not be,'ended.by war. The world now, thirteen years after 'the armistice, is an ainned camp and war threatens at the Present Minute inore than one quarter. The greatest problem he fore the world today, he declared,and he made exception of none, was - how the-, world was - to get rid of war. He was hopeful that a way would be' found. Always after a great war; he said, there was a wage of sentiment in favour of peace, but usually that died out with the passing ;of the years. It was not doing so this time, the sentiment is growing and the people, the common people of every nation, were declar- ing for peace. In•this was the hope of the world and he urged his hear- ers to think and talk peace. War; he declared, was outlawed by •the Paris Pact, which all the great na- tions signed. A nation which went to war today was a criminal among the nations. The bell tolled at one minute to el- even and again as the hour struck and at '`the last toll the audience stood silent for two minutes, as a tribute to those who "Iie in Flanders Fields." At the end of the two minutes Mr. Morgan Agnew sounded the Last Post and the Reveille. Dr. Dougan pronounced the benediction, "God Savo the King" was sung and the audience sat while the veterans filed out. It was an impressive service and that wldch took place .at the postof- fice square was equally so. • The veterans formed outside, un- der command of Capt. Morgan, and marched to the postoffice, headed by the band and followed by the town council, representatives 'of the L.O. L.O.B.A„ I.0.0.F., Rebekahs• the Home and School Clubs and the Women's Institute. The Public school children itad already taken their places around the square, Just before the decoration .Rev, Fr. Sullivan of St. Joseph's church gave a short address. He said the Church which he represented had always paid much attention to anniversaries. These were kept so that the' events commemorated might be kept in mind, also that a check-up might be made to see if any progress was be- ing made. In the present instance he feared that no great progress had been made on the road to peace. After thirteen years peace was not any more assured than in 1014. Ile called to mind the summing up os Christ of the commandments in two; Loving God and our neighbor. In the keeping of these ttvo command- ments and in this only there Was hope of peace for the world. The Veterans, the town council; the Province of Ontario, the I.O.O.F., the L.O.L., the L.0.B.A., the Re- bekahs, the Home and School Club and the Women's Institute placed wreathes against a bank of gteen under the tablet and, prettiest tri- bete of all, perhaps, the school chil- dren marched past and each pinned it poppy into a large pillow placed in the centre of the bank of green 'for the purpose. A. Steep placed the wreath for the veterans, Mayor Cooper for the town, G. H. Elliott for the Province of Ontario, C. Dra per for the I.O.O.F., G. Cornish far the L. 0. L„ Miss Andrews for the Rebekahs, Miss M. Judd for the L.O. B.A., Mrs, G. Jenkins for the Home and School Club. The Women's In- stitute was not placed until later. The bugler sounded the last post and reveille again, the vet- erans marched past giving the salute and the celebration, significant in its simple dignity, was over. Business places were closed and the citizens turned but in great num- bees to .join in the celebration. • CONSTANCE Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Cole and Mr. and MTs.

CLINTON LOST SEMI-FINALS RRMR1Vi'BERS EARLY DAYS IMT George G t t,e S. Robertson of Lack - now,' a former resident of Stanley and Clinton, was in town ion Tuesday on his way to spend et few days at Ingersoll, and came -in to renew' his subscription. Mr. Robertson, has'a vivid recollection of events which happened in . Stanley township sixty or seventy years ago, having lived on the farm where Baird's school non, stands, and he remembers when Tu,, ner s church was, opened enc i p d n Tucker - smith, :Ile seems a bit disappointed when he comes to Clinton these late years, as so few of the old timers are left. Mr. Robertson sage his father, the late Thomas Robertson, • who was killed at the raising of William MC - Queen's barn at Granton in 1861, when lie was a Iad of six, was the first oneburied in the Clinton eenr• etery, which was just then opened. Later some bodies which had been interred in the Anglican and Pres- byterian .churchyards were raised and placed in the cemetery, but Mr, Robertson was the first one actually laid there. Mr. Robertson bald that. the second or third :one buried there was also the victim of an accident, Mr: Stanbury, father of the late George Stanbury of Clinton and Dr. Stanbury of Bayfield, whpse horse 'took fright at a train'," . and threw hint from his wagon, causing his death. In the return game of the semi- finals in the W.C.S.S.A. league soc, cor series, Clinton Collegiate vs. Listowel High school, played in Clinton on IVionday, Listowel won the sound with a two -goal margin. The latter team had a two -goal margin over their opponents as a result of the game of Friday last in Listowel, and Monday's game finished 2-2. The visiting team came over sup- ported by an enthusiastic line-up of fans, many of them being of the fair sex. Listowel wont the toss-up for choice of goals, and played the first half with a slight advantage in the field. slope. At 4.20 Bamford's whistle announced the game over. Perhaps two teams more evenly matched never met in the local field. The visitors may possibly have ]tad a slight advantage in weight, but this was offset by a margin of speed on the part of the homesters. Fif- teen minutes of play gave ne indi- cation of supremacy on either side. .In the latter part ofthe first half, however, the home team rallied su,' eerier combination and scored twice, In the second: half the visitors got the breaks; their centre forwards came tip with the sphere, and, get- ting well in on, Clinton's goal, goi one past Moynes without effort. This put them up, one, on the round .and they went into the genie with re- Dewed determination and in five minutes more made it two up. The game finished with the score 2-14 and the round 5.3 in Listowel's fav - 01. , • . The teams dined up as .follows: Listowel— Goal, B.'Simins; backs, L. Bean, R. Davidsbn; 'half backs, J.
