"Miss Isobel Chowen
See. The Clinton Health Band.
Dear Miss Isobel:—Many, many'
thanks for your generous donation. of
Ten Dollars, (0.0,00) for the Crippled
Ohildren's 'Frtrid and Sick Children's
Hospital. V you have no objections
we will apply Five Dollars donation
to the Hospital to one of our own
cases there. Practically all our
Crippled Children's Fund goes to the
Sick Children's Hospital anyway so
that in reality there is no difference
between a donatiort to our fund or to
the hospital. Just now we have a
cage, Kenneth Thompson front Lind-
saY, that islikely to be a long-drawn-
outone, as he has had ‘a • serious o-
peration for the rembval of clena
bone from his leg and is in ',rather a.
poor state. -3.1.1st this morning we
have" a request to help a little ten-
year -old girl in Simeoe, WhO has a
'dislocation Of the hip of long stand-
ing that will need, a long treatment,
likely at the ,Sick Children'S Hospi
tal, There is another case likely to
come under our care too from. Lin-
coln county, a poor little criPple, who
hobbles nowabout tWo miles• to
school every day. Then we have a
little patient in the Port Arthur Hos-
pital for whotn we/have accepted fin-
ancial responsibilitiee. Your Very fine
glib will help quite a ways in seeing*

'Your tag day mist have been quite

SEASON IS EARLY
Although many people have been
complaining of the cold, late spring,
we are really a couple of weeks a-
head in many- things. We have not
had a great growth yet but seeding
end gardening has not been late,
many farmers having had their seed-
ing done a week ahead of the average.
This maybe.accounted for lby the fact
that the ground worked up well, not
being soaked with rain, and the wea-
ther keeping cool the work could he
pushed -much faster than is possible
when it is hot. Many gardens are
planted, we have had some needed
rain and all is ready now for the
growth, The leaves are coming fast
and a few warm days would. do wen -
dos. They may be full by May 24th
ae 'usual.
ENGINEERS HERE

the District Representative yesterday
afternoon to discuss the matter of
highways, representatives being pre-
sent from,. municipalities surrounding

the Department of Highways was
present to explain the new legislation
In regard to the bnilding of roads.
The representatives 'were not all of
one mind as to the wisdom of the

eowever, are of the opinion that much
benefit would result if statute labor
Were abolished and uniformity in
road -building were practised.

Cox and Ashley Gilbert assisted effi-
ciently and pleasingly with the ap-
propriate Mother's Day recitations,
as did also Misses Margaret Sterling,

night. Good offerings were received °
at the different churches for the sup-

States. The pastor, Mr. R. A: Park.
[Jason, spoke on "The Significance of
Mother's; Day and of Mothers in Our
National Life." He recalled the tes-
timonies 'and lives of great national
heroes in times past and present, an-
cient and modern, who oedited their
greatness to their mothers, and stat-
ed that the future destiny of our na-
tional tile depends upon giddy, un -
Christian, disloyal and unloving mo-
thers as also upon that of noble,
Christian, virtuous and loving anoth-
erhood, and told a strikirig narrative
to prove that'every child has a pre-
natal religious experience as well as
a post -natal religious experience.
That pre -natal religious experience
was the religious or mental exper-
ience 01 the mother's thought, intel-
lect and imagination, as well as the
physical state prior to the child's
birth. t
In St. Andm$ew's Presbyterian church
Rev. Alfred Macfarlane preached spe-
cial sermons, as at all his appoint-
ments. The origin and significance
of Mother'e Day was beautifully ex-
plained. A special MOther's choir
rendered appropriate music. The
Sunday school children also assisted
with the recitations in honour of mo-
thers. The program of the O.R.E .0.
Was observed. -
Bethel Methodist church held its
annual Sunday school meeting, elec-
tion of officers and congregational
meeting on Tuesday, May 6th. A
fairly good crowd of people turned

1 The Bayfield Young Peoples' Soci-
ety have decided to continue their
program throughout the stammer,
once monthly, variatinge it with plc-
niCS, beaeh parties, athletic activities
ate, The next meeting will be held
on May 23rd. A substantial finan-
cial surplus was on hand whieh was
largely disposed of for charity and
supplies and other items. This so-
ciety has far surpassed the expecta-
tions of its organizers and has bad a
most beneficial influence upon the
young people and older people, too,
in the -community during the winter
menth.s. Inter -society debates and
contests were participated in, rousing,
the keen interest of the community.
Concerts were given by the members -
and the regular meetings greatly an-
ticipated and enjoyed. But this
year's work, splendid as it was, it is
felt, has simply been experimental
and introductory to greater future ac-
tivities and efficiency.
