ON 'VARSTY DEBATING CEAM•
'Victoria 1 College debated against
ea Wycliffe one evening recently the
subject being: "Resolved That All
Appeals From Canada to the Privy
Couneil Should be Abolished." Messrs.
E. S. Livetmzore and G. F: Bannerman
of Victoria took the negative side and
won. The judges were Prof. Tracy,
Ph.D., J. R. L. Starr, K.C., and Gor-
don Waldron, LC.
Mr. Livermore has just been •chosen
'as a member of the University de-
bating team. This rteam, will debate
with Queen's Univens5ity en Feb. 23rd,
the subject to be: "Resolved that.
Canada should adopt an immigration
policy of drastic restrictions, similar
in principal to the pie already in
force in 'the United States, excerpt as
it
effeets the inhabitants of the Brit-
ish Isles."' The Toronto inen, of whom
Mr. Livermore is one, take the af-
£irinative side. ,
Mr, Livermore is the only son of
Mrd.. and t Mrs. James Livermore of
town. Re has always been a clever
student and since going to the Uni-
versity, • where he is putting in htis.
last year, has •shown decided ability
as a debater. As hp intends taking up

THE MOHRISH ULOTHIN6
WE, W RE DISAPPOINTED.
To say that people were disappoint-
ed on rising Saturday morning to see.
the sky overcast with heavf% clpuds,
which' every minute seemed to the
anxious watchers to grow heavier
would be putting it mildly.
General interest was aroused in the
eclipse and for days ahead,' the ques-
tion waswhere to go to get the best
view. For weeks , it lead.•. been the
,topic of, conversation, it was tlic_ big
coining event, herd as elsewhere..
Thousands of pieces of glass had gone
through the process.of being smoked
and about the hour when the eclipse
'was due to •start, small' boys could be
seen with their bit of smoked glass
to eye, hopefully scanning 'the sullen
clouds, through 'which not a gleam
appeared.
• However, as. "hope springs eternal
iii 'the -human ":breast," people could
be' seen winding their way hither and
thither to the pdaee appointed to be in
readiness Would the Gly clear. The
writer climbed to the fop of a lumber
pile in McEwan Bros.' lumber yard
beside the Huron and 'B ruee track at
the head of Mary street,, which air
obliging boy swept of/ for us. 81 was
a good place, too,
commanding
a view
of the whole horizon,' an
there we
sat and shivered .fpr about anhour
hour,
our eager eyes trying to. pierce the
clouds behind which faith 'interesting
things were .taking place. Once only,
for a fleeting second,did the sun, or
a small ritti of it, shine ;through' a
rift. '°This was just before totality
and how ardently did we wish that
we coulld , sweep' ' back that cloud in
order to get a better view. Many,
however,. did not even get this fleet-
ing glimpse.
Then the strange, bluish darkness
gradually fell,; mysterious, eerie, un-
like either twilight or dawn, and the
spirit felt awed, as in the presence of
;Divine Power. Then, . very suddenly,
appeared ,rose tints in the southwest
and ordinary, everyday daylight was
back again, much more quickly than
went, We We climbed `down from. our
high perch, got our benumbed limbs
working and returned to our normal
duties. The opportunity of seeing the
most magnificent . spectacle- of the
heavens had,come'and gone.
It was a great disappointment to
laymen, how much ' more keen must
have, been the disappointment of
scientists, who had spent weeks
preparation, for the event and who
hoped to gainmuch knowledge from
observation of it. The mon from the
Government Observatory and from the
University of. Toronto, the' latter
by,
group of which was headed ProfPro
A. C. Chant, ,brother ,,of „Mr. H.;B.
Chant of town, , had everything' in
readiness at Long's Coj1eiers; near
Hamilton, for the, (big event and they
saw no More than we did in Clinton.
"We got absolutely nothing," said
Prof. Chant afterwards, ashe philoso-
phically packed up 'hisinstruments to
return to Toronto.
{
What made the disappointment all
�•
o
the mere hard to bear, to was the
fact that we •'had three beautiful
mornings last ^ week and. Sunday
morningwas ideal. Also, the night
hefore'tho eclipse and until three that
morning the Skywas cloudless.

DAVID BUDD WHITE.'
A Niagara -Falls paper ` last `week
had the following .reference to the
death of a brother-in-law of Mr. W. J.
Biggar•t of town, his wife being
formerly Miss Jessie Biggart.
David Budd White, one of the Best
known: men in the Niagara Peninsula,
passed away at St, Mary's Hospital,
Niagara Falls,. N.Y.; early this morn-
ing after. a long illness, contracted
during a recent visit to Britain.
'The deceased Man who was forty-
six years of age', was born in Wel-
land and attended school and high
school. there.. He had a brilliant
career at the high school and at
Toronto University which he later at-
tended. He then took 'a law course at
Osgoode Hall and finishing in 1898,
at its.condlusion went 'into the office
of Mr. Gross, Welland:
In 1901, the deceased°came to Niag-
are Falls% and started what proved to
lee a successful law praciciee. Four
years ago he retired from practice.
and resided on Lundy''s. Lane. •
Mr. White was a brilliant speaker
and 'writer and 'was much sought af-
ter as a political and after-dinner
speaker. He was a man who read
avidly and kept himself pelted: on all
the affairs of the day, in his youth
he was a great •athlete and inacle a
name in baseball.
He was a son of Mi;. and Mrs. Al-
onzo White, well known Welland'peo-
ple.
All his life he took an active part
in politics on the Liberal side and ad
dressed very many meetings in sup-
port of Liberlal'candidtites. 'For two
years he was the Liberal candidate
for the Provincial Legislature,resign-
ing t0 make way for Mx. C. F. Mon-
roe when he was defeated la; C. F.
Swayze. •
He is survived by a widow and
three cinldren,. his parents, and a
brother, Roy, o Welland.
EGGS MUST BE GRAll.1;p.
Owing to the fact that the govern-
ment will strictly inforce the egg -
grading regulations and that they are
not equipped to carry out these regu-
lations, the grocers of, Clinton will
not, after t Feb. lst, 1025, -purchase
eggs from producers. All, eggs must
be taken to the candling 'stations, of
which Clinton now has two.' The
grocers will continue'to supply their
retail trade with eggs, :which the
candying stations will supply them.
Inspector Morrison san of the e Denai
-
m it
e of Agriculture do the Federal
g e
Government, was isz town this "week
and called a ,meeting of the grocers
of Clinton in the office of district re-
presentative yesterday morning.
Inspector Morrison's 'obiect :]if this
visit was to get in touch with all .egg-
dealere'and to inform' them that the
gove}nment egg -grading regulation
nest •be conformed with.- He said
that 'during the ,past' year and`a half
1 the government had been going easy,
had not been enforcing the law so as
to, cause hardship, the idea being to
educate both/producers and dealers
up to the pi5int where compliance
would be easy.- From now on, how-
ever; so he tried to impress on those
who gathered to •ineet him, -the law
would be inforced • and all twvho
handled eggs must comply.
Five out of the' toile grocers in
town, Manager Ward of the Gunn,
Langlois Co, and Mr. Marquis, dealer,
were presentand there was much
free discussion. ,
Inspector Merriron said anyone
could ibuy eggs and sell them again,
but t1'id grading regulations must'• be
observed by everyone wlio bought and
sold
He explained that everyone Buying
eggs, from the producer could grade
according oto regulations, on a basis
of at least two of the grades spec-
ified in these
pec-iflied,in'these regulations, firsts and
better, and seconds and better. But
prod tc11 11151' bo paid• on the ;basis
ofgraaded eggs. Ile ': made is very
clear: that 'while thee governinent
wished"lo co-opezat1 with both pro-
,
duse': and dealer .it was nevertheless
i
determined to have '1,hc legislations
strictly enforced:,
He' explained Glint hehad been in
Woodstock the other day and sAia the
grocers theme had ,decided to; quit
handling eggs; all eggs to „be taken at
eitleri of ;the`',two' candling stations,
these agreeing to furbish the retail-:
ors with all the eggs noeded for their
retail ttvrdc.
Some of the Clutton merchants
seemed to think that it was a case of
king
to the ' business ess ant of their
•
• usn
this
that. i
agreed the
handsbut w gi
seemed t10 only
thing
to do and
af-
ter the meeting the merchants who
were not present were seen and the
above agreement arrived at.

Went down to defeat on
y night
elit �-
before' the lVIitchell
team bya score of 5-4 in one of the
fastest' genies played here this season,
"It was a good enough game to be
played by seniors," was one remark
heard the following morning.
Clinton Was greatly handicapped
by the loss of Rorke, Clinton's centre
player who hdd the ligaments of, his
hip tarn in •a Wossa league game.
Saturday night. ":
• The game was fast and dean from
beginning to end, only,: one penalty
being handed • out during the whole
game,
-. In the first period _the home team
had the best of the play, Roberton
scoring the' first goal followed til
quick succession by McEwen who,shot
one past -'Ii cOloeklin from a rebound.
The first' period ended 2-0.
In the second period ',the visitors
had the edge .on the home :team scor-
ing 'three
cor-ing'three goals by' geed combination
and the ;individual rushes' of Moore,
Clinton was held scoreless and the
second period ended 3-2 in favor, of
Mitchell. At the: beginning of the
'third period, owing to so much heavy
body checking, Referee Euddicornbe
reminded the players of the necessity
of playing clean hockey. The visitors
opened the' scoring in this period' by
shooting .two goals past McNeil, the
result of playing ; good eombinalf.,an
