HONOUR FELLOW ORANGEMEN t A number of the Orangemen went up to the home of a brother in the Order, Mr. David Cantelon, on Mdn- day evening to congratulate him on the advent of his eighty-sixth birth- day and to present him with a hand- some satin Orange cushion; bearing the emblem of the Royal Arch de- gree. The presentation was a very sim- ple one, Mr. W. H. Hellyar, former w.M. of the local lodge, made an ins- promptu speech and presented the cushion, with the congratulations and good wishes of the members of the lodge. Mr. Cantelon was thor, oughly surprised but he replied very fittingly, thanking his brother Or- angemen for their geed wishes and for the handsome gift, which he said he would always prize. Mr. Carte. Ion said he hadbeen a member of the Orange Order for sixty years. 4 pleasant hour was spent by the gentlemen around the open fire and luras ;Cantelon served tea, sandwich- es and cake before the gathering dis- persed. Mr. Cantelon has had long and busy career and is still going strong. Be has held office in the Orange Ceder over and over again, and has always enjoyed meeting' with the lodge. 4. few weeks ago, an the occasion of their annual fowl supper it was a matter of regret to him that he was unable to attend, the first 'sine missed in decades, OVERTIME CUT One of the sensible enactments of the Ontario Hockey Association at its annual meeting in Toronto Iast week was to cut the period of over- time play to ten minutes, Last season in this community in two or three cases well -matched teams, to break a tie, played thirty, and sixty minutes overtime, the players being in a state bordering on complete exhaustion at the end. Such a game is nothing more nor less than an endurance test, and something had to give way. All these sports should be directed so as to train young men in team` play, self-control, ready preception, quick thinking, quick action, etc., but' it is not necessary to imperil their phy- sical health to do it, and these tests of physical endurance are calculated to do just that. ARRANGING FOR SEASON The meeting called in the inter- ests of Hockey for Monday evening in the council chamber was well at- tended, between forty and fifty be- ing present. Mr. W. S. R. Holmes was called to take the chair and after the reading and adoption of the minutes of the last annual meeting Mr. H. C. Lawson, secretary, gave a report of the meeting at the Royal York last week of the 0. H. A. executive, at which he represented the local club. It was unanimously decided that the 0. H. A. secretary be advised of the desire on the part of the Clinton club and others that the meeting for drawing up a schedule of games be held in Clinton, as the most cen- tral for the group. Mr. C. W. Draper was appointed to ° represent the Clinton club at this meeting. It was decided also that this club favors a single schedule of games, with the three highest playing off for first place, provided there are six teams in the group. . sere: THE MARKETS W'heat, 60c to .65e.

Mr. Mutch was looking for a leak in the dye vat and 1!ook down a light on an extension switch to look into a corner. His hand was wet at the time and he got a shock, falling where he stood. Mr. James McNeil, who was right at hand, immediately turned off the power. Mr. Match was soon able to be removed to his hone and is still under the care of a doctor. He will probably have to remain in bed for a few days but it is hoped he will be himself again before long. It was a close enough call. NO BUSINESS DONE A meeting of the Businessniens' Association was called by the presi- dent for yesterday evening, when only seven turned out. It was de- cided at a recent meeting that an- other meeting would be called to consider the advisability of having a community Christmas tree and the idea was to have such meeting before the December meeting of council, but as the representation was so small nothing was done. The president says he wasted a lot of time from his own business yesterday notifying the other busi- ness men but if they take so little interest he feels that such efforts are not worthwhile.

Mr. Cantelon, although sixteen years beyond the allotted span of life, has continued in his business of livestock and produce buying, mak- ing weekly shipments. He thinks it a long day that he cannot get down town to meet with his fellow -towns- men and come in contact either per- sonally or by telephone with those with whom he does business. A na- tive of Goderich township, he came into Clinton as a young man and has lived and conducted business here ever since. When is he going to retire?
