Over one hundred members marched, tothe cemetery where a mound was arrang- ed to receive the floral tributes. Mr. George Dane, district master, o, 'ened the service by initiating the n vement, declaring it to be the in- tention of Orangemen to ,hold a me- morial service annually, alternately in Gorrie and Fordwich. A large crowd attended, the service. The hymn "0 God our help in ages past'" was sung, after which Rev. G. Jacques, of Mor= peth, read•the 9oth Psalm. The chap- lain led in a beautiful responsive read- ing and Rev. F. W. Craik gave the memorial address, taking as an appro- priate text Hebrews X1:13—"These all died in the faith, having confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth." We have our debt to the past. These' who lie in this village of the dead must be ;remembered as men and women who have done their part in days past We cannot glorify the past and idealize the future unless.we seriously think of the golden present. No voice breaks the silence, and no 1 hand drawn'back the curtain. Elijah was suddenly called„• Enoch went to God in a gentle way, Moses was ga- thered up by God in the mount and carried away to the home of the blest. They do not return to tell us of the city. of God; but the richness of faith allows us to believe we shall go to them when the evening shadows fall. The word of authority 'comes from Christ "In my Father'shouse are many mansions"; "That where I am, there also shall my servant. be". We look around us in the silence of these tombs and yet each mound` speaks of a life which yearned for life, victorious life, yes, eternal life. Shall we strive to, live in these stren- uous times worthy of the men and Women of the past who have left the same pri.neiples for us to follow? After the address, . the honor roll was called and friends ;placed flowers on the mounds in honor of the de- parted brethren, The service conclud- ed with the appropriate selection "Faith 'of Our Fathers; followed by the benediction by the district' chap- lain. The members and officials of the lodges deeiily appreciate the hearty response to this first L.O.L. memor- ial service in Howick and also for the floral tributes front so many friends.

(4) Typical Quebec woman seated at her spinning wheel. By all accounts the Canadian Folksong and Handi- craft Festival held at the Chateau- :Frontenac, Quebec, under the auspices- of the National Museum of Canada was an unqualified success. More than any previous • event which had to do with French- Canadian folk music it has brought to public notice the rich heritage of native song in Canada. Not merely did the concerts prove magnetic, but the gen- eral atmosphere of the Festival brought forth some- thing dormant,' a wealth ofnational culture that has been buried under the oppressive weight of ma- terialism. Quebec during the three days of the . Festival was invaded by artists from all parts of Canada - (cele- brated singers from the large cities and the most humble; though not the least interesting,, interpreters of the Canadian folksong from the outlying districts. The Festival, looked upon as a whole, has brought forth artists and material never suspected. The cele- brated men and women were applauded but those unknown quantities like the village songsters and dancers, and the Hurons of Lorette, supplied that unusual atmosphere of novelty and attraction : that characterized the Festival. Vincent Ferrier de Repentigny and the lumber- jacks in their checked shirts and grey breeches; Phileas Bedard with his homespun clothes and his beaming smile; the fisherfolk from Gaspe; Madame' Leblond, and her daughters with their spinning wheels and hooked rugs; Napoleon Leblond from the Isle of Orleans with his toy ships carved by hand; the women from L'Assomption braiding the Canadian sash — almost a lost art - and in contrast with these the superb singing of cultivated artists, Cedia Bradt, Juliette Gaultier, Jeanne Dusseau, J. Campbell Me- Innen and Rodolphe Piamondon. Nothing more thor- oughly Canadian can be imagined than the rollicking songs of the lumberjacks and raftsmen of Quebec by Charles Marchand and his "Troubadours." And it looks as if the Festival will become an annual event. At the close of the last concert in Quebec, it was announced that not only would the Festival be held next year, but that E. W. Beatty, President of the Canadian Pacific Railway, had offered $3,000 in prizes for compositions to be played at the. 1928 Festival. The compositions to be based on French-Canadian chansons -and folk melodies, for which prizes are offered as follows: • 1.-41,000, divided into $750 and $250 as first and second prizes, for instruments, and not to last over 30 minutes. 2.—$1,000, divided into $750.00 and $250.00 as first and second prizes, for a cantanta introducing French- Canadian chansons populaires: the $750 to be divided; $500 for•. music and $250 for libretto; the $250 to'be divided: $150 for music' and $100 for libretto. 3.--$500 for -suite for string quartet, not to last over twenty minutes. 4.—$250 for group of arrangements of four chan- sons populaires for male voices. 5.—.$250 for group of arrangements of four chan- sons populaires for mixed voices. The last two t( 4 and 5) are confined to Canadian: composers. The -others are open to international competition.

ONTARIO $10,000 worth f weeds on ten farms in one neighbor •od That is what an inspector valuing farm lands for loaning purposes re- ported. His report rdad "It is badly infested with sow thistle, as ate all the farms in the neighborhood. 1 have valued $1,000 less than T would if clean of this weed." And he only discounted the farm value 12%. Many inspectors would go much higher. United action will exterminate the weed scourge. Destroy weeds Wherever found, Under the pro- visions of the Weed Control Act, 1927, now in force, the destruction of weeds is no longer optional. It ° is compulsory. Your co-operation is needed, to end the weed nuisance. The Department of Agriculture Provitice< of Oxitari0 Parliament Buildings, Toronto ;ETON. JOHN 8.
