Board of Trade in the town hall, Clinton, on, Friday evening' last. closeof the banquet and Mr. Tre-, wartha - undertook to explain why he might have lost his head a little in preparing for this banquet but said he was, seldom accused of too muck speed, he had, rather,+the reputation of being somewhat slow but sure. He took occasion to tell something of the early history of the guest of the ev- ening arid v,ening-and the reasons why Huron County delighted 10 honout him,nove. The "arrest' was the epostponed un- til the morning.' Mr. A. B. Silverwood said that ne other name *as even thought of when a president was setght to suc- ceed Dr. Brown -of ,T ondoe, England, EIS president of the World's Congress.. Hedeclared that it was due almost altogether to Mr. Elford that the Congress was held in Canada last su)ume>.t that he,, 11Ir had. the faculty of getting people to work with him. He had the .Government, Otta- wa city council, several clubs, the Governor-General all at work boost- ing the Congress and that he had everybody of iriyportance attending it, "Every prominent man in the Empire, except Ring George, was there," de- clared Mr. Silverwood. He felt hon- oured, he said, in. b'eing able" to add his small tribute te the guest of the evening'' o aIr. Paterson expressed the thanks of tate Department for the presence of so mapy guests and •said he felt privileged' to be able to entertain, on behalf of the citizens oft -the county., in honour of - so distinguished a guest.

Graham, professor of poultry at the Ontario Agriculture College, Guelph, 'told how impossible it was .to outline the duties of Prof. Elford, His work. in connection with the congress alone, he said, was as- tonishing ands had -been carried out with .astonishing 'results. ire outlined to some eeteet the difficulties fret by the Dominion poultry husbandman. in having the eRongress brought to Can- ada n con=nection with the 'Government gg regulations,' Prof. Graham said it g was just a matter of taking the .ques tion mark off eggs. From • 16 to the case, the ;number, of bad eggs had been reduced to one egg .to the' case. Eating of"eggs had:" considerably in- creased in Canada, with proctically,an unlimited market. ,More eggs to sup - y the demand meant more chickens.r Mlore chickens therefore would have , to be eaten. To increase the table use of chickens it ' was necessary to nut them up ih,'better style,. offering less trouble for. the housewife. The hen, he declared, was the most "effic- ient paymaster there as. She, knew time. feed and the difference between'- right and wrong. She charged cors. i takes but • tion all ms pound interest. , paid well .when, treated rightly and with common sense, Mr. Elford on rising to se ac was greeted with three rrousing cheers and a tiger, everybody standing.. He ' said he was. very glad .to be able to speak first in Huron County, his home locality, the Congress ress held last summer in Ottawa. "Of course it foolish to say that I did it all, I didn't half helped and } of it. Ever do t Ybod Yh p it went off without a hitch." He said he wished he could believe half of the nice things said about:him this even ing. "I wish they were all tram" he said, 'But I` know he are aol. , But still I'm glad my friends feel like saying, thein," "rits Mr, Elford said Mr. Trewartha had P c •a about his wanting out from solen < l ou h g 1 svill to the Clinton Collegiate.
