Claxton, ynoo Globe, thirty-three enemy planes to reddit in less. than four months, -Lieut, William G. Claxton, R y a prisoner of war, whose e 1s at 248 Heath street west, has t awarded the. D.8.0., in addition o the D.F.C. with bar which he had already possessed, Just a few hours | before Mrs. Claxton received word of |the second honor bestowed on her {aviator som, @ high tribute was paid | him by Capt. F. R, MeCall, M.C., DPC, DSO, CG, of Calgary, who | was his fighting mate overseas, and | who is mow in Toronto. Unwilling {to talk about himself to a reporter, | Capt. MeCall, whose exploits are said {to be excelled only by those of Bish- | op and Collinshaw, said he was glad tas get a chance to tell something about Lieut, Claxton, a hero whose praises are as yet unsung, According to Capt. McCall, Lieut. Claxton has shown himself to be one} of the best, bravest and headiest of | the Class A men on the western front. | "1 doubt if there is an airman living] who can touch my little fighting | partner's record, for within four| months in France he officially down- 'ed no fewer than thirty<three enemy planes of all sorts," said Capt, Me- Call. Another record he scored was in getting six enemy machines in al single day, Flight-Lieut. Claxton is a nephew of W, J. Franklin, Alfred street, His mother was formerly Miss Victoria Franklin, daughter of W. J. Franklin, the late Dr, George Claxton, of Ve- rona, Gladstone, Man., and Toronto. EVEN CROSS, SICK CHILDREN LOVE SYRUP OF FIGS If Feverish, Bilious, Constipated, Give Fruit Laxative at Once, Don't scold your fretful, peevish child. See if tongue is coated; this is a sure sign its little stomach, liver and bowels are clogged with sour waste, When listless, pale, feverish, full of cold, breath bad, throat sore, doesn't eat, sleep or act naturally, has stomachache, indigestion, diarr- hoea, give a teaspoonful of "Califor- nia Syrup of Figs," and in a few] hours all the foul waste, the sour bile | and fermenting food passes out of the bowels and you have a well and | playful} child again. Children love] this harmless 'fruit laxative,' and] mothers can rest easy.after giving it, | because it never falls to make their | little "insides'" clean and sweet. | Keep it handy, Mother! A little] given to-day saves a sick child to-| morrow, but get the genuine, Ask| your druggist for a bottle of "Cali-| fornia Syrup of Figs," which has di- rections for babies, children of all] ages and for grownups plainly on the | bottle. Remember these are coun | terfeits sold here, so surely look and | gee that yours is made by the *'Cali-| fornia' Fig Syrup Company." Hand| Pittsburg township, His father was| CANADIAN WRITERS, Some of the Makers of Literature, two prominent | poets, Wilfred Campbell and Dr, John McRae, has réceived much at- | tention, not only in the Dominion, | but in Brita Dr. McRae had re- cently risen ame, chiefly through | 'In Flanders ds," much used in recruiting anti half-prophetic of his own death at Boulogne, Campbell, one of the "group of '61," had em joyed a solid esteeln for twenty-five years, ever sitice the publication of his. "Lake Lyrics" and "The Dread Voyage," and nad added to.it by sey- eral dramas and romances, by one of the best descriptions of Canada, and. by his editorship of the "Oxford Book of Canadian Verse'! Since the death of W. H. Drummond, the, ihimitable habitant poet, this group has sup- plied the deans of Canadian poetry. Some of those surviving, as Bliss Carman and C. G. D. Roberts, are more .responsive to changing times than was Campbell, and his. death may be held to mark the ending of a stage in Canadian literature. Campbell was one with the old tradi- tion of Canadian poetry ~ that 'of Charles Sangster, Isabella Valancy Crawford, G. F. Cameron, and Archi- bald Lampman. Canadian poets are all minor poets, as Canadian novelists are minor. But | their vigor has long given their work | more than local currency, and no one | who did not wish to codviet himself | of illiteracy. would repeat of them { Sydney Smith's sneer at American | books. Most Canadian poets have | been .poets of nature, whether as a background to reflection or to action. | Their verse is outdoor, though they | have had a wider range than the | poets of the South African and Aus- | tralian Colonies. The trapper, the | forester, the farmer, the prospector, | are the chief human figures in Cana- | dian poems. There has been much | historical verse, partly inspired by | Whittier and Longfellow. Arthur | Wentworth Eaton has written with | spirit in "Acadian Ballads" of the { historically rich Nova Scotian region. | Agnes Machar's "Lays of the True North" deal with Indian life. Secat- | tered historical poems, like Roberts' | "How the Mohawks Set Out for Me- doete¢" and William T, Allinson's | "Cartier," are frequent; "But the Canadian tends to hold to prairies, lakes, and mountains, and thé ex: éanada's | hilaration of the climate. The appeal - | ot Service's verse of Yukon adventure | and R. C. Stead's poetry of:Alberta, | "The Empire Builders," is the appeal {of the rough wilderness. Charaeter- verse like Drummond's -- every Canadian knows "The Habitant's Jubilee Ode" and "The Cure of Calu- mette'--and the verse of Imperial patriotism are out of the main cur- rent, Readily also do Canadian novelists turn to nature and history. The first important Canadian novel was one written around Pontiac's Siege of De- troit by a Major Richardson, long be- ; fore Parkman thought of the theme.) The second 'was Kirby's "The Golden Dog,' a romance of old Quebee. Gil- bert Parker followed: directly in Kirby's footsteps in his first suec- cesses, and the names of some of his novels indicate their historical content. Canada's development is not yet sufficiently complex to permit of noteworthy examples of the novel of social life. Moreover, the demand for historical romance or brisk out- THIS IS THE TIME TO PUT OUR SHOULDERS TO THE WHEEL IN VERY TRUTH. WE ARE ON THE BROW OF THE HILL-- LET US MAKE THE SUPREME EFFORT.
