In his new post he was ably supported by his accomplished wife and together they admirably main- taised the customary social duties | and hospitable traditions of govern- | ment house. | Born in Guelph, Ontario, on July | 20th, 1859, she son Dr. William and Clara Pigo't Clarke,' Léonel Herbe 1 Clarke was educated privately aud 'at Trinity College school, Port Hop», | When etill a Young man he started up at Palmoarston, in' the grain and | malt business, but soon began to look for larger fields. When about | 'hirty years of age he arrived in To- | ronto and launched out in a bigger | way, the business he had established | in the emaller town, He organized the Canadian Malting Co., Ltd., and in this concern wag assoclated with the late W. D, Matthews. These Wo men were associated for many years in extensive grain operations and both became wealthy, Active In Public Work, Mr. Clarke always took am active part in work of a public character. From 1917 to 1919 he was a member | of the Board of Grain Supervisors. | He was also a member of the Vie- toria Niagara Park commission for eleven years from 1908 and presil- ent of the Toronto Board of Trade in 1908. TMhere is a notion, it is said among Toronto businessmen, that appointment to the presidency of the Toronto Board of Trade prac- tically places a man on the shelf, But it was not so in Mr, Clarkes case as it had mot been in 'he case of Sir Edward Kemp and some others. Mr. Clarke's greatest work of a public nature was probably his part in giving Toronto a harbor worthy of a great commercial city. The water- front plan on which between fifteen and twenty million dollars have ail- ready been expended was his. idea, conceived it is said at a time when, as an official of the Board of Trade he found a ship loaded with iron trying vainly to find a Place to dock. He lived to 'see his plan developed @lmost to maturity and remained chairman of the harbor board from 1912 to the day of his death. He was also, for considerable time, a member of the Toronto and York Highways Commission. For all these various activities in the publie interest, Mr. Clarke never accepted any salary. On one commis- sion on which he served, he was en- titled to ratlway fare, but he insist- cd on paying for transportation out (ff of his own pocket. acne Abhorred The Limelight. If Lionel H. Clarke had an out- standing characteristic, it was Boi rence of the limelight. Before e went to Government House pubili- cation of his picture displégsed him and once at a meeting of the harbor board he offered $10 to anyone who would undertake to got his photo- graph away from a certain mnews- to make an expos did it in a speech It he had a motto it must have been: $What ig worth doing is worth doing well," for his whole car- eer was a lesson in thoroughness, He had always taken gq keen interest in patriotic and phi work, inttiating trips to Niagara and else- where for children of the charity homes and he was instrumental . in having a summer camp for boys from the homes established at Vine- lands. His patriotic work was aug- mented by the war and in the great conflict his home suffered, like thou- sands of other Canadian homes the loss of a loved one. His eldest son, Esmond, went to Europe with the first contingent as an officer of the 4th C.M.R. and fen at Zillebeke.

The most active of the old Parties, he says, is the Farmers' or- ganization, As there are 285 members to be elected, which number may be in- creased by redistribution, a govern- ment to be strong enough to assume the Siraetion.
