Harvey Callander, adve tising nilanager of The Examiner, di at his home 721 Ross street at 6 0 cloak Monday evening of heart tro bre which had impaired his health f nearly two years. Mr. Callander was born at Cli ton, Ontario, sixty-six years ago. H had been engaged in the advertisin branch of newspaper work since hi youth. He first went to Manitob from Clinton and returned to Wood stock where for some time he was ad vertising manager of "The Express. His next experience was with a hor ticulturaI journal in Springfield, 0 which was followed by his coining t Peterborough twenty-five years ag to take charge of the advertising department of The Review. Fiv later he became associated with The Examiner, and continued in the position of advertising manage of this newspaper up to the end, al- though for nearly a year his illness prevented him from actively assum- ing the duties in which he had won a host of friends, among all the neem - hers of The Examiner staff and also among the business men and other advertisers with whom he had been in close touch for twenty-five years. Horticulture was Mr. Callander's avocation, and :his love of flotvers, and his natural gift for their culture was a personal attribute and posses, sion which greatly enriched his own life and was generously shared with many friends and indirectly with the whole community. lie was an ac- tive member of tate Peterborough Il'ortioultural ,Sociiety in which he was always deeply interested, and as a director of the Peterborough Indus- trial Exhibition Isis assistance to the committee in charge of the flower show was invaluable. For years Mr. Cailander's display of cacti was a feature of thio department of the Exhibition. This year it was absent for the first time in a long period, As an advertising manager of The Examiner, Mr. Callander held the confidence of many business nett with whom he was frequently and almost daily in contact. His ability was cloaked by an unassuming man - mer, but it was also heigbtened by his courtesy, his warm personal in- terest and diligence, and ultimately by the business results that flowed from his work. His quiet friendly disposition was deeply appreciated by his associates of The Examiner staff and also by a host of other friends throughout the city. Prom his flower garden he often brought to the office bouquets of his finest blooms, especially of iris, gladioli and peonies and unexpected gifts of beauty that cease with his passing. To others his love of flowers was r an example and an education. Many n persons win remember J. H. Callan- " der front the little lessons they learn- ed from him about perennial flower beds, which seemed to have been a specie] interest. Gifts of phlox and f delpih]n]ums and hollyhocks that were I planted and cared for according to c Mr. Callander's instructions have t cast their bloom and foliage once ti more and seemed to have died, but to next Spring they will break through ci the ground once more and lend theist, In beauty to the summer days, and th bring back grateful memories of the th lovable spirit of Harvey Callander. th Peonies and gladioli were flower% that responded to his tooth with brit- m limit blooms, and it is recalled that mduring one season when he lived on wi Weller ,Street his garden included a 'be fragrant and colorful showing of ap- iz proximately one hunched thousand.Ge peonies. Perhaps he tools a special pr' pride in 'his success with orchids, and R• in .his .splendid greenhouse and gar- El den results he shared generously ef th THE MARKETS ing Wheat, 45e. in- Barley, 40c. and Oats, 32e. the Butter,c 18 . usa Eggs, 32e to 40e. la].

Agnew; apan- ist, Mrs. Morgan Agnew, o REMEMBRANCE DAY The second Remembrance Day ve service was held in Clinton on Fri- day, when, in spite of the very dis: agreeable morning; the town hall was r. well filled for the impressive service, Mayor Trewartha had proclaimed a holiday and all business places were closed for the day. The centre front seats in the hall were reserved for the veterans and m their families, of which a good ni her were present. The Rev. C. E. Dougan, Ph.D., was in charge, the other resident minis- ters in town being associated with 'hint on the platform. After the call to worship by the chairman all stood to repeat the Lord's prayer and the Apostles' creed, then the hymn, "0 God Our Help," •was sung and the Rev. D. E. Foster read the scrip- ture lesson. which was followed by "Onward, Christian Soldiers," prayer by Rev. P. G. Farrill, another hymn and an impressive address by the Rev. 1Vlcijor K. McGoun, who chose as the text of his address the words: "These ail died in faith." He re- called the readiness with which men went at the call of duty, leaving tasks which they had chosen to do and duties which had devolved upon them, to perform tasks which were distasteful to them, to undergo un, accustomed discipline and to suffer discomforts, wounds and death in faith that they were defending their home and loved ones. "And snake nc mistake about it,' he said. "The peen who died in France and Flanders died for us; they gave their lives for us.' Ile marvelled that there were people who begrudged a day of re- membrance for such men and read ar editorial from the Legionary which told of a resolution of the Chambers of Commerce in convention in Mon- treal, asking that the Act setting a. part Nov. llth as Remembrance Day be repealed. After the two minutes of silence Rev. G. W. Sherman pronounced the benediction and all sang "God Save the King." The Clinton Kiltie Band lead in the music and Bandmaster Morgan Ag- ew acted as bugler, sounding the Last Post" and the "Reveille." The Boy Scouts were in charge at the doors, acting as ushers. After the service a parade was formed in runt of the hall, made sip as foa- ms: School children with their tea- r. hers from the public school, the own band, wreath bearers, reptesen- s ng the Province of Ontario., the wn of Clinton, the fraternal so, eties, the firemen, the Women's stitute, the Houle and School Club, e Legion and Legion Auxiliary and e Rebekah and L.O.B.A.lodges and e veterans. Under command of Capt. T. W. Morgan the procession arched to the post office where the emorial tablet had been decoratedmowth evergreens by the Legion me rs. On these the various .organ, atione deposited the wreaths. Reeve ergo H, Elliott represented the ce evin, Mayor'Trewartha the town; J. Draper the Orange Order; Jack liott the I.O.O.F.; . H. S. Turner e Legion; Mrs. Johnson the Wo- e en's Institute; Mrs. Wendorf the, mo WILL NOT ACT NEXT YEAR ' The New -Record is advised that Mr, W, S. Rme , Hobos has notified the Motor Vehicle Department that he does not wish to handle th mark- ers ma ers for the coning year.Tihe depart- ment will probably have no difficulty in filling this vacancy as no doubt there will be many who would like to have the position. In speaking to Mr. Holmes the re- port was confirmed, Mr. Holmes say- ing he has enough work looking after; his own business and that there were others who could fill such an appointment who had more time and needed the remuneration which it carried. MONDAY'S CONCERT The concert put on in the to en hall, on Monday evening under the auspices ef the Clinton Baptist church biought out a good audience] who were well repaid by a very fine program. The Stratford Male Quartette, which did such good service at the special anniversary services on Sun clay, again won high praise for their excellent musical contributions, while an instrumental quartette, gotten to- gether by Mr. G. Phelan, consisting of his own violin, Miss Winnie Howson of Auburn, piano, and Dr. Toll and his brother, Blyth, cornet and trombone, contributed greatly to the program and was much enjoyed. Mr. Gecrge Carter also rendered guitar and mouthorgan selections in his own fine style, while Miss Lovett excelled herself in her readings. And while the entertaining parr of the program was much enjoyed the illustrated talk given by Dr. Schutt on the work of the missionaries of the Church. work on which he is well versed, as he could tell something a� boat each one of the many interest- ing colored plates, was also appreciat- ed, The committee in charge of the program was disappointed that a couple of musical numbers which were to form part of the program were missing on account of illness, but it was a fine program in spitc of these disappointments anon those present felt that they had getter snore than the worth of their money, THE WOMEN'S INSTITUTE The November meeting •cf the Wo- men's Institute was held in the Fire- men's Hall yesterday afternoon. The meeting opened with the singing of the Institute Ode, the president, Mrs, N. W. Trewartha in the chair, after which the Lord's prayer was repeated in unison. Ali then joined in singing "My Bonnie." After the secretary's report was given the roll call was answered by sing, say, or pay, and this proved to be one of the best features of the year, some of the answers causing considerable merriment. Reports from the different committees were heard then the secretary read the cornspondence. Mrs. Harry Pord sang a solo, ac- companied by Mrs. Howard Clark, which was appreciated very much and she kindly responded to an encore. Delightful menus for "Ample but Economic Christmas Dinners," were given by Mrs. Paisley, Mrs. Murdoch, Sr., and Mrs. R. H. Johnson. New ideas were taken from these reports, on table decorations, and what should be served for the Christmas dinner, and these menus proved very helpful indeed. Mrs, McKinley, the secretary, then gave a splendid account of the ev- ents of the first day of the Walker- ton Convention which was held on Oct. 18th and 19th. Mrs. McKinley went as a delegate from the Clinton Branch and brought home a splendid eport having many new ideas which will be most helpful to the local In- titute. It was reported that 40 new Women's Institutes have been or- ganized in the Province of Ontario. The Wernen's Institute is growing stronger than ever and people are solving more'problems. !Sonne new ideas, such as the holding of debates. having demonstrations on health and exchanging seeds and bulbs, were suggested. • his bounty with friends whose appre- m chairman; W.

Mr. B. J. Gibbings, recalling the lacrosse match at Goderieh an Dom, inion Day, 1892, said that the player described as "Hewitt" was in reality C. H. Cross, who was then attending 'University in Toronto and carne up, to take part. His father had for•. bidden him to play lacrosse and this% accounts for the fictitious name. But the unfortunate part of it was that he had a bone in his hand brok- en in the game and had to go home thus wounded from the fray. The probability is that he had a rather uncomfortable session when explain- ing to his dad, Mr. Cross, who is now practising taw in Edmonton, was. attorney -general of Alberta in the government of the late A. G. McKay a few years ago. Mr. Gibbings, who was secretary of the Clinton team, was transacting some business with the umpire and the Clinton boys, already loaded into their carryall, were so beset by row- dies who resented the beating they had administered to the home team, that they drove off and left him to get home the best way he could. Mr, Dominic Reynolds brought hint home en iris racing gig later. "Them surely wus the days," H. AND S. CLUB MEETS 11he regular meeting of the Home and School Club on Tuesday evening was very web attended, in spite of the unfavorable weather. Mrs. G. T. Jenkins occupied the chair, Mrs. H. C. Lawson sang a very charming solo during the evening and Miss Sadie Lovett contributes] a reading. ext The main feature of the program was ne, a paper on "The Early History of end Clinton," which was given by 112x: James Scott, This was a very well- prepared paper and was listened to with interested attention by all pre- sent, The News -Record is glad to an- nounce that Mr. Scott kindly allow- ed us the use of this manuscript. :which we are publivhing, a part of it appearing en page six of this issue. We feel sure our readers, both her, and in many other parts of Canada. will be interested in reading it. DEATH OP ROBERT WALKER IF WINTER COMES The touch of winter over the week -end served as a warning of what we might expect, but Monday was a lovely autumn day, flue e, sough for outdoor sports and the Horse shoe Club was busy again af- ter a few days' halt. This sport was indulged in by its enthusiasts ever;; month last year, Tuesday night, however, brought more snow, three or four inches, and as we write, Wednesday noon, wn look out upon a white world, It is a beautiful one, too, but no cloth' this too, shall pass. LITTLE LOCALS Eggs are soaring in price, but the hens seem to have gone on strike. The Huronic Rebekah Lodge will entertain on Monday evening mem- bers from Mitchell, Milverton and New Hamburg Lodges. Mr. II. E. Rorke received from his son, who is teaching at Silver cen- tre, a fine deer the other day, so he will .feast on venison for a spell. Public school and Collegiate ex- aminations are likely to be later n year, in. July rather than in Ju the classes to continue up to the of June. Members of the A. Y. P. A. of St. Paul's church were guests of the A. Y. P. A. of Bayfield parish at Bay- field on Friday evening, when an in- teresting meeting was held.

The British .Government has adopt- ed the Ottawa agreements, which went into effect yesterday, all mem• bees of the Empire family being adv. en preferences, with the exception of the Irish Free State. The epidemic of measles seems to be waning a little, although a num- ber of children are stiII under the sway. The slaughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. V.
