CALVIN W. DAY Imposing Gatheving at City Park on Anniversary of Battle of Lange. marck--Hon, W. D, McPherson, Provincial Secretary, Delivered An Address at the Ceremonies, A garrison parade to City Park, where the Army and Navy Veterans placed a\floral wreath on the maple in. memory of Lieut, Cal- y, the first Kings- be killed in action on ont and who fell at the gemarck, April 23rd, 1915, was one of the features of the Langemarck celebration. Hon, W. D. McPherson, provincial secretary, pajd a visit to the 'city for the occasion, and delivered an ad- dress. The wreath was placed on the tree hy Pte, Frank Smith and First Petty Officer Leyman. Pte. Frank Smith served under the late Lieut. Calvin Day in the Second Battalion. Upon arrival at the park the dif- ferent units formed into a square, and the proceedings opened at 2.20 o'- clock. The cadets of the Royal Mili- tary College, 'cadets of the 'Royal Naval Academy, formed in line with the Depot Battalion, R.C.H.A. and various other units in training here. A large number of veterans wearing badges turned out, also the Boy Scouts and Girl Guides, under Lieut. Rodgers. As the different units were lined up they formed a most imposing scene. A large number of citizens attended the cerermponies. At the opening the R.C.H.A. band played the National Anthem and this was followed with scripture reading and prayer by Major G. L Campbell, chaplain for the Army and Navy Veterans' Association. Following this the band gave another selection, and Afterwards the wreath of flow- ers was placed on the tree. Then the played the well-known hymn, "Lead Kindly Light." Mayor J. H. Hughes introduced Hon. Mr. McPherson, in a brief ad- dress. "We are here to commemor- ate one of the greatest battles which has taken place since the war began," said his worship." He added that the city was very glad to have the honor of a visit from Mr. McPherson, who, he stated, was devoting much of his time to the returned soldiers, as chairman of the Soldiers' Aid Commission for the Provinee of On- tree plated : | tario, Hon. Mr. McPherson stated that it was most fitting that Langemarck should be celebrated, and that a ceremony of this kind should take place. Since August 4th, 1914, when war was declared, things had moved along very quickly, The Germans had placed tremendous forces under preparation for forty years, while our own nation was largely in a state of unpreparedness, but thanks to Providence, we had been able to uphold and maintain the glory of the British Empire, and had been able to serve as one of thefbuwarks of freedom and ecivilizatfon, 'and hu- manity throughout the world. Many serious engagements had taken place since the war began, and no doubt many more would take place, but he did not overestimate what took place on April 28rd, 1915, when on that day the fate of liberty depended, and it was most remarkable from the standpoint of men from Canada, and these men from Canada were putto a test that no more seasoned troops had ever faced before or even since. "From that time on," added the speaker, 'Canada was regarded as a g Heart Beat So Fast COULD NOT SLEEP Had To Sit Up In Bed. Heart trouble has of late years be- come very prevalent, Sometimes a pain catches you in the region of the heart, now and then your heart skips beats, palpitates, throbs, or beats with such rapidity and violence you think, it will burst. You have weak and 'dizzy spells, are nervous, irri- table and depressed, and if you at- tempt to walk upstairs or any dis- tance you get all out of breath, There is no other remedy will do you so much good, restore your heart to a natural condition, build up your strength and give you back vigor and vitality as Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills. Mrs. A. Russell, Niagara Falls, Ont., writes: "At nights I could not sleep, and had to sit up in bed, my (heart would beat so fast, "When I went to walk very far I would get all out of breath, and would have to sit down and rest be- fore I could go any further. I was advised to get Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills and before I had used two boxes 1 could sleep and walk as far as [ liked without trouble."

The work of the Canadians has been crowned with®valor and heroism. : . "During the past few. days there has been a lull in the events at the front, and we are told by our mili- tary advisers that this is but a prg- jminary to what might be a grea ffensive. i By the holding of this ceremdny, the speaker - declared that the people showed grateful hearts for what had been accomplished for the nation. Turning to the large assemblage, the speaker said he was pleased to see many who had seen service overseas --men who had faced the foe, heard the great guns, and had taken an active part in the great struggle. He was glad also to notice the men who had been decorated for brave deeds at the front. Continuing, Hon, Mr, McPherson paid a warm tribute to the various units which had left this district to serve overseas. "Magnificent eontingents have left from this district," he sald "But make up your mind," he said in his coneluding words, 'that we will} be called upon to face still greater sacrifices in this great war. Still greater efforts are: sure to he de- manded. He paid tribute to the} Royal Military College, for the splen- did part that institution was taking ginee the college had opened about 18786, there had been 1,400 graduates and hundreds- of | them had performed their duties, and | had paid the supreme sacrifice, . tle had served nobly and their work would serve as an inspiration for the cadets taking the places of the fallen | heroes. Speaking directly to the | naval eollege, Mr. McPherson said! that in the days to come they would] be called upon to join one of "the; greatest aggregations' --that of his | Majesty's Navy, which had never al-| lowed a hostile flag to fly in apy of! the British domains and had dlways| safeguarded the interests of human-| ty. Following the address of Mr, Me-| Phérson, the band played a number of | patriotic airs; ending with the Na- tional Anthem, and this brought the interesting programme to a close, Among those present for the cere-| monies were Brigadier-General T. D.| R. Hemming, Col. Charles F. Winters, | representing the Minister of Militia: | Col. Maunsell, Col. G. Hynter-Ogilvie, | Col. J. N. S. Lesslie, Col. C. N, Per-| reau, Commander Nixon of the Royal Naval Academy, Major Weather-| spoon, Major G. L Campbell, Major Kidd. i i The Rose Ball. | As the final act of the Langemarck | celebration, a rose ball was held in, the City Hall on Tuesday evening un-| i Navy Veterans' Association, or of St. George, the patron saint of England. Dancing was indnlged in, until one o'clock on Wednesday morning. FARMERS KEEP OLD TIME Most of Them Refuse to Move Their Clocks On An Hour. That the farmers in this district still maintain their hostility towards the daylight saving regulation was a statement of a farmer to the Whig. He said that all over the country the farmers refuse to move their watches one hour ahead because they, feel that they cannot hise one hour earlier than they are now doing. "1 get up at four o'clock every morning now,' said the farmer, 'and 1 can't be expected to rise at three o'clock by the new time." It was rising an hour earlier he could rise at the same time as now but that his watch would register five o'clock. in- stead of four o'clock. » It was the members of parliament representing farming constituencies that opposed the passing of the meas- ure in the federal house, and the farmers have not taken Kindly to the measure for which there is so much enthusiasm in the cities. The farmers have been quite be- wildered at times when they come to the city and find that their time- pieces do not agree with Big Ben in the City Hall tower. As a result of their failure to -acquiesce to the new law, considerable confusion has oc- curred when they forget that the city is under the new time apd consequ- ently arrive an hour late, ' £ pets "WATCH YOUR STEP."
