Scores of old friends and acquaintances called at his home during the -day to extend best wishes, while telegran is were received from members of the family and old boy- friends from ninny distant points. Ii'e was born in Yorkshire, March 11, 1822, sixteen years before Queen Vic- toria came to the throne of England, about 18 miles from the City of Hull. In, 1846 at -the age of 23. years he came -to Canada and was .employed• fiir eeome nine years in eMontreal, Hamilton and Woodstock before' cone- ing to the Township of Ashfield.hi 1854. Some few years previous •he A anstammommonwanamosmisrmagrmw had been married to Elisabeth John- ston, who predeceasesd him. He has resided on a -farm on the 13th tenses- ion of Ashfield continuously for the past 73 years. Despite hie 105 years he is in the enjoyment of good health and is still able to care for himself fairly well. Although his sight and hearing have failed -his mentalµ':faeni- ties sere excellent, His family con- sists of a daughter, Mrs. Meredith, of Edmonton, and two sons, William Barnby, of Wheatldids, North Da- kota, and James Barnby, -with whom he resides. WROXETER: Under the auspices of the Wroxeter continuation 'class, one of the most successful school con cents ever held .here was given Fri- day evening in the town hall before a large and "appreciative audience. The three -act comedy, "His Uncle's Nieces," was interesting from start to finish; the various roles being well interpreted, Between the acts there was club swinging, a Holland 'peasant dance, instrumental music, the school ewes-, and a chorus by boys, every `number being exceptionally good. Mr. N. Garrett and Miss Ruth McKenzie, teachers, deserve cre it for the Suc- cess of the evening., • BRUSSELS: As John Wright,. the well known express agent of Brus- sels was on his way home one Thurs- day evening a car coming down John street turned. onto. Mill street and the fender or bumper struck Mr. Wright and knocked him down. He was e bit marhf id'up about the face and his body was badly bruised. John doesn't want another round ;with an auto. imaiummumiimumanusemmass S Yt'ILJ I, 7 , V S You could probably' show him a Ma- sonic Emblem, Rotary Club Pin, an Elk card, an auto license, and per- haps give a few secret order high signs.. But could you show him your G. C. L.? - A G. C. L. is a GOOD CITIZEN'S LICENSE. If 'you haven't an auto license, it would be necessary for you. to pass a test, .proving your cgitalifi- cations to drive, And so it would be- if e'if a hew were passed today, demand- ing that every person living in Clin- ton must immediately ` take out a GOOD CITIZEN'S 'LICENSE. Could you pass such a test? We all think we could, and .many ' could do it actually. How about you? Do you show and observe the fine points of good citizenship? Remember that this 'town is 'your town and that you, as a resident here share in its growth and prosperity, profit from its advantages, and en- joy its comforts, its protections and facilities. One plain duty of a good citizen is to trade at home. Do all your buy- . ing in Clinton for every dollar you send .away, Stays away. But every dollar you spend at home eventually returns to you.

WARD Main Feature of Liquor Control 'Bill, Following are the main features of the liquor control bill introduced last week by Premier -Ferguson in the Legislatin'e at Toronto: All liquor must be purchased through the Government agency. Permits re of five classes: Individual permit to a resident of Ontario over 21 years of age. Individual permit for." any period not exceeding one month to a tourist or temporary resident. Special "permit to physicians, dent- i5ts, veterinaries, -and those in scien- tific or mechanical pursuits. A special permit or ,ministers of the Gospel for sacramental purposes. The. board into further authority to issue a; special permit as authorized -by the regulations for the purchase of liquor - for the special purpose named in the permit.. Druggists are not permitted to dis- pense liquor. Breweries and distilleries can only sell in the province to the board under.. a permit from the board. No Hauer may " be consumed in a public partite. All liquor must be consumed in: the residence, or temper cry home of the purchaser. The commission will establish' stores for the' sale of any or all class- es of liquor ,at. such points as they may deem best in the public interest,: but no store- may be established 'in any municipality where: the Canada s..r .r.., Tempet'ance Act is in force, nos. where any by-law of, ,'local option had prohibited the sale, 'of liquor before the coming into force of the O. T. A. in 1916. , Light,' beer, es defined by the act, and which is ordinarily known as 4.4 beer, niay-be sold in' such places as the board designates, under permit from the board. There shall be no public advertis- ing of. liquors, No person, except with ,the permis- sion of the board, shall have in his possession in this province any liquor not purchased froin the board. This section takes care of the private stock that any citizen may' already have that is legally purchased, and gives the board absolute control over all the liquor that is found in Ontario. The board may appoint a staff of inspectors, and this staff, in co-opera- tion o operation with the provincial 'police and local constables, shall co-operate. in the enforcement of the law. All prosecutions will be conducted under the department of the , attor- ney -general of the province. Any person found selling liquor in Ontario will be 'imprisoned for the first offence, without the option of a fine. There is a_ .great variety of penalties for other offenses'underthe ant. , - The control board is given wide powers, ,from which there can be no appeal. American Picture of Canada's Ambassador What An American Writer Thinks of tive as an actor, adviser and occasion- al playwright. Except for stature, his stage appea;antes doubtless would remind one of- Bill Tilden, the American tennis champion, but his acting must have been better. . At one time he lectured at Toronto 'University on modern history on which he previously had specialized as a student there. Trained Soldiers During the war Massey, who had had military training with the Queen's Own Regiment, was given charge of musketery training An the Toronto military district. He became associate secretary, of the War Cab- inet at Ottawa and was made director of the Government's repatriation committee in 1918. ' In 1919 he became secretary of Massey -Harris •Commpa ny, the largest manufacturers of agricultural implee meats in the British Empire, which was founded by his grandfather. His ability to think clearly and to con- Thisn big problems obliterated tri eo andtett t o is his first diplombatic job p his artistic tempera- ment em a •a- he is the first diplomat his great any idea that nS s p r ment and academic training would make him a poor business man. He became president of the concern in 1921 and was considered one of the financiee and industrial leaders of the empire until 1925, when he be- came nminister without portfolio in the Mackenzie King Cabinet. Hon./ Vincent Massey; Actor' in Role of Diplomat; Patron of Little Theatre, Scholar soul Fin;uicier. .. The following sketch of Hon. Vin- cent ivfassey, Canada's new' -ambassa- dor at Washington, is from the pen of Rodney Dutcher, the Washington correspondent of the National Editor- ial Association. It will be interest- ing in order to get a picture of Mr. Massey as he aPpeals to an American. He writes: Canada has sent us an unusual dip- limat as her first minister to the United States. In the first place, the Hon. Vincent Massey is "more American" than any other foreign envoy in Washington. He is' a Canadian type, but he cantos fronld American stock on both sides of his family. Ha''s A Dry , country ever sent to another name. He is personally dry—"diplomatic immunity" means nothing to him so ear as liquor is concerned. And he is probably the only min- ister to Washington who has been en actor. Over and above all this, Massey is an intellectual of high academic at- tainments, of proven business and fin- ancial ability and of such an engag- ing personality that beh has made an immediately favorable impression on everyone with whom he has cone in contact during his short period of residence here. All of which is a rare combination for a diplomat or anyone else. A Salem Family The newest snatcher of the diplo- matic corps conies from an old fam- ily of Masseys which settled in Salem, Mass., in 1631, and lived there until aboue 1800. Massey admits that his forebears missed the May- flower and sailed on a' later boat; a surprising admission, indeed, and he is not of those whom Canada knows as 'U. E. Loyalists," and whom we know as Tories, who fled north dar- ing the American Revolution. There is American stock on Massey's maternal side also, for his mother' was a younger sister of the eminent Bishop Vincent, founder of Chau tauqua. It may be suggested, though this is partially guesswork that Massey is just a little nervous at this time. He has es right to be._ Canada's eyes are fixeh closely on her firstdiplomat whileehe goes through the harrowing experience of establishing his lega- tion and its staff. It has been estim- ated that Snore than a third of the duties of the big British embassy here concern Canadian affairs, and it is these duties which. Massey will take over. Nothing Seirrin' Wasn't Talk Yet Massey feels that it is too early to discuss any major problems with which he will concern himself. Never- theless, it may be assumed that theee will be discussions of such matters es smuggling, and rum -running. The St. Lawrence Waterways pro- ject, reported favorably- by a joint commission: and endorsed by Secre- tary Hoover, and the Chicago drain- age canal problem, where Canada, along with various Great Lakes States, complains that the lake level is being lowered, probably also will be matters of great interest to the new legation. And some day, if land is discovered between Alaska and the North Pole, where McMillan and Amundsen have sought it, Massey may represent Can- adian claims to this territory. An increased disposition for each country to help the other is likely to result from Massey's tenure here. "You' won't get a drink hp there," your correspondent was advised as lie set out on his first visit to the tenii- porary Canadian legation. The prediction was well founded, Massey's friends there said they hadn't ever known him to take a drink, But he is not a prohibitionist: He doesn't tell • other people, they shouldn't. The legation has not im- ported its permitted supply and very likely it won't until Canada obtains a permanent building. Massey' himself is just. enteringhis 10th year.

II I a uMina 1015 0 A Column Prepared Especially for Women— But Not Forbidden to Men Worle is devout, and service is divine. Who stoops to scrub a floor May worship more Than he who kneels before a holy shrine; Who. crushes stubborn ore. More worthily adore Than he who crushes sacramental wine. —Ronald Campbell-MacFie, Sir Charles Highant,' iii a speech recently in London,' England, stated that "women will probably dominate all branches of business ein another twenty years, if men do not ,pull themselves together,", "In -Mr own business," continued Sir Cliarles;."I am''plecing women in positions formerly occupied by men. Eighty per cent., of my employees are 'women. I" believe in an equal wage for women and men. . Today women in business are more energet- ic, more thorough and take akeeper interest in their work. "The managing , director 'ern loys p women secretaries because he is anx- ious to be`relieved. They realize his responsibilities and help him. They work for him alone. Men often swank outside the office, and to show their importance mention facts they should not: 'Women never' do." The gentleman seems to have"made up his mind very fully on this point and to be willing to give reasons for his preference for women. I do not think there will he much dissent from the view that a .woman, her training and natural, fitness being , equal, makes the better secretary to a busy man. First of all, perhaps, because she is a woman and is quick to know just what her einployer wants of her. She is usually intensely loyal to bins, serves his, interests alone, as Sir Charles says, and very often to the sinking of her own. She takes her work much more seriously, if she takes it seriously at all, than a young man in the same position. A young man is very often looking forward to some other position anal may fail to give his full attention to the work of his employer. A girl who is earning a good sal- ary, as she should be if -she is hand- ling the affairs, of a busy man with skill and care, saving him heaps of trouble over details and giving him tt chance to have' a clear mind for more important affairs, is usually y fairlywell contented with her posi- tion. p tion. She does not contemplate going, into business for herself and she is willing to give her best service to her employer, A young man in the same position may be earning a good salary for the time beingbut he isambit' be los t u to doing 'something more. He looks for ward to marriage and the setting up of a home, when his. expenses will be greatly increased. He is not content to remain a secretary, he .wishes to attain to a position where he will have men and women working under him. He is not as good a secretary as a woman because he is not willing to remain in that, position. Sir Charles says, however, and this is where men generally will disagree SEAVORTH: The. De Luxe Pu ch Square held its weekly nseetnig Mon Wednesday in the Taxis Hall. .The program'was opened with the usual weekly ceremony, W. Barber leading: in prayer. All business was brought before the meeting and settled. It was Moved end seconded that the scriptor write a letter of thanks to Mrs. W. D. Bright for donatingso many good books to the Square.

EXETER: At the recent examin- ations held by the London College of music of London, England, here, we are pleased to note that several of Mrs. Galnbrill's pupils ". have succeed- ed splendidly. Mjse Dorothy Gassick, formerly of'Ifippein; succeeded in passing with highest honors the sen tier pianoforte examination, securing 87 out of a . possible 100. Her many friends'' join iii congratulating her on her splendid success. Other 'successful candidates 'were: Luella Stanlake, senior 1st. class;' Lavergne Morley, senior 1st class; Hazel R. Collingwood, intermediate first class; Russell Milds; Honors on violin. EXETER: Mrs. Margaret Fowell died suddenly last week at the age of 70, from an -affectionof the heart. with him, that women are more dee p,eridahle, will not mention outside their 'Offices things which should not, de talked about. Men have become so imbued with the idea that women talk too much that 'nothing, except actual; experience such as Sir. Charles has had will disabuse their minds of and then sometimes they : are toe stubborn to admit it. Ever since the invention of type, 'and no doubt they wrote it with a bit of charcoal on smooth stones and bark before that, men have been writing about the wordiness of _'women. Women have accepted it'and have, we must endeavored to live up to their repute- tion in this respect. Bee in a seine- what lengthy experience in doing business with men and' in reporting` both men's and .women's meeting's I have come to the conclusion that men talk just as much and can talk to jut as little purpose as women, and that women, when. they "have. business to perform, talk just as effectively and to as good purpose in: patting; through a matter of business as men, Seine men talk a lot and others talk very little,. some women talk a' lot and some tall: little, some mep talk sens- ibly and ens-iblyrand seine talk nonsense, and the sane holds good of' women. It de- pends upon ,the person. • But I can readily believe that the woman who is devoted to the interests 'of her eine ployer will keep his secrets abso- lutely. Brat, nevertheless, . and notwith- standin • the e opinion of Sir. Charles, I do not think we shall see women "dominate all branches of business" in twenty years, ole in two hundred. That more women will go into busi- ness for themselves, that they will enter branches which have hitherto been dominated by men, 'we do not doubt, and if their competition causes men to "pull themselves together," Will be all to the good, surely. But women generally cannot enter whole, heartedly into business owing to the feet that marriage so often puts a stop to her business career. And they will not be given the sense chance to work up as their brothers have for the reason that they cannot be depended upon to "stick" to their career. A young man looks forivard to marriage but heknows that this will not interfere with his career. In- deed, this very hope of founding a home snakes him ambitious to suc- ceed But'a girl knowsand a rad her em- ployer knows, that if she marries her business career will likely end. So what is the use, both may well' ask, taking the atter too seriously? And, probably because of this very reason there are, according to Prof. W. W. Goforth of McGill, 10,000 women em- ployed in Canadian industries at less, than a living wage. Although women may enter busi- ness life in larger numbers and may make their presence felt in the busi- ness world in a way not hitherto known, the probability is that men will continue to dominate the busi- ness world for many a century yet. And a good thing, too. Human drones are anything but admirable creatures. REBEKAH The deceased was in her usual health up to a few hours before her death and went about her household duties. She was a prominent worker in Main street United church and took an ac- tive part in the W. M. S., Ladies' Aid, of which she was president, and W. C. T. U.
