farmer of Mornington, on Saturdav morn- from overseas, arrived home on Tuesday
Mg chine as a great shock to this commun. night, May 6. He joined the 164th Batt.

complained at times of being easily ex=
hausted. On the morning of his death he
was in his usual health and had just re•
turned from visiting a neighbor when be
was seized with a weakness from which he
recovered but which was closely followed
by a second attack to which he s u e-
cu abed, Mr. Davidson was a man pos-
sessed of sterling qualities and is aptly
portrayed by the immortal Burns in these
lines:
"Are honest man here lies at rest,
As e'er God with his image blest.
The friend of man, the friend of truth;
The friend of age and guide of youth."
and was held in universal esteem and his
sudden and comparatively early demise arrived home from overseas.
leaves a vacancy which will indeed be
hard to fill, Mr. Davidson was a native
of Scotland and belonged to that sturdy
branch of the Highland race known as
' t h e men" of Ross -shire, When b u t
3 years of age he, with his parents, the
late Mr. ,and Mrs. J-Iugh Davidson, emi-
grated to America, settling In Morning -
ton, which was then a vast forest. Being
the eldest of the family and starting life
on a bush farm he early became inured to
the use of the axe and the handspike and
did his share in helping to clear r,the wild
that encumbered the fruitfnl soil. He
was a man of powerful physique and in•
the early days had been one of the stal-
warts on the township's tug-of-war team.
About forty-two years ago he led to the
altar Miss Margaret Turnbull, daughter
of the late Mr. and Mrs, John Turnbull,
by whom with -the following family he is
survived; Hugh and William, of Morning -
ton; Mrs. Wm. D. Gray, Morningtont
and Mrs. Wm. Johnston, of Wallace. the
following brothers and sisters also survive;
Hugh, President of Cassidy's Limited,
Vancouver; Alex , Miss Janet and Mrs
John Munro, of Mornington; a brother,
David, having pre -deceased but a few
months. Mr. Davidson always enjoyed
the confidence of his fellowmen and for_ a
number of years represented the ratepay
' ers of Mornington at the council board,
i being for three years in the Reeve's chair.
IHe was also a director and past president
of the Western Farmers' Weather Insur-
ance Co., of Woodstock, and of the Morn-
ington Agricultural Society in which he
took a great interest In religion he was
a devoted Presbyterian and was a ruling
elder in North Mornington church and
also a teacher of one of the Bible classes.
In politics he'was an unflinching Liberal
and on more than one occasion his name
had been mentioned for parliamentary
honors. and like most Scotchmen he was
an ardent admirer of the late Sir Wilfrid
Laurier. I -Ie had a true appreciation of
the genius of his fellow -countryman, the
poet Burns, and he himself h a d also
wood the muse as readers of The Sun will
have noted. T h e funeral which took
place on Tuesday afternoon from his late
residence to Mtllbank cemetery was con-
ducted by his pastor, Rev, A C. Stewart,
and was one of the largest ever seen in
the township, there being over two hun-

Canada, following the example of other
Allied countries, has made it possible
for wage earners --men and women—
to invest in safe securities without effort.
These securities are called War Savings
Stamps.
The cost now $4.04, but by compound-
ing interest, the $4.04 you invest now
will be worth $5.00 in 1924. - There is
no other security in which you can in-
vest such a small amount that is as safe
and that bears so high a rate of interest.
Or you can start with 25 cents, by buy-
ing a Thrift Stamp. When you have
sixteen Thrift Stamps, you can exchange
them for a War Savings Stamp.
You take no risks. The Government
of Canada guarantees to pay you back
your money --- with interest — at any
time during the five years, or to pay you
in 1924 $5.00 for every $4.00 (and a
fraction) you invest now.

War Savings Stamps. [We may say that we are heartily in
-- sympathy with the sentiments expressed
in this letter and hope the movement to
t their hospitals. As regards towns
The following letter appeared in the we happen to have three or four all about with e united support
the sante size and oopu}ation, Tht„l•e is Council. , We might point out that at
•o<te. the present time many counties in the
and
in
Clinic in Rochester, Minn., is the largest
surgical centre in the world, and Roches-
ter is only a small town. The late Dr. R.
W. Bruce Smith. inspector of hospitals
for Ontario, in his report for 1910 speaks
as follows: "Many of the town hospitals
are better equipped than larger city insti-
tutions for surgical and medical work, and
the recognition of this fact accounts for
the Large increase in the number of admis-
sions to the smaller hospitals."
I am not afraid to state and to prov e
Ithat in our local hospital here, we do as
good and sometimes better work than is
done in some of the larger city institutions
1Since our hospital • was opened 10 or 11
years ago, we have had under treatment
nearly 2,000 patients, not counting the
1 cases of minor operations which went
home the day of operation 'I cn name
1 some of these patients who would surely
Ihave died if a hospital had not been close
' at hand: -
At a meeting of the Huron Medical As-
sociation, held in Goderich last Thursday,
the matter was discussed and the consen-
sus of opinion was that if the County
Council decided to give the proposed grant
towards hospitals,' the better thing to do
would be to divide it among them pro rata
according to the value of their buildings
and equipments it was also thought
, advisable by members of the association,
that each of the hospitals equip a wing or
i ward especially fitted -up for the care of
• returned soldiers. As you say "Huron is
a great county" and I sincerely hope that i
they will give the hospitals a substantial
grant, and in such a way as will best serve 1
the interests of her citizens at large and
with due consideration to the best inter--
' ests of the county in the future.
Yours sincerely,
