There has mever been one that had guie the Same appeal as the first you heard. It Was held under the auspices of the township literary and debating so- olety, in the old assembly hall now, alas, used as a cowshed. The old minute books, treasured possessions of Joe Gilbertson, have a formal record of that debate on the question: "Resolved that war is a barbariem, and that the 'ime has come for the nations of the civilized world to abandon armements and to settle their differences by agree- ment." It was a good debate so long as it was confined to the selected de- baters. You did not follow the argn- ments very well. The flow of langu- age from the various speakers was more Interesting. : ' Sizes 11 to 2. SALE PRICE .. Aad $3.95 [emember2 ILLIAM BANKS You found yourself wondering if you would ever be ablé to use 80 many words and understand Jus: what they meant. Old Squire Kill- ens who sat mext you chuckled Te- Deatedly as one after another the speakers presented their case. You smiled vaguely when he bent down and whispered in your ear, "Did you ever hear such a flood of words?" You mever had, but you wishen with all your might that you knew Just exactly what many of them meant. Mother told you some time af- terwards that she couldn't under- stand a single one of them exoept Jimmy Leighton. When she talked of him Dad, who had laughed about the others grew suddenly grave, "He's clever," he said, qyletly. There was food for thought in that statement, You wondered at it, then, because Jimmy had not used a single word that you could not un- Nn ming Robertson's Lies we are offering a very Special Price on a Handsome Hand Painted Nip- pon China Dinner Set--97 pieces, with gold line and spray of roses.

Yet reveryone had followed him closely ; there was a curious fascination about 'his slow emphatic sentences, his fre-- quent pauses, the grey eyes of him that seemed to be taking in the whole ball and at the same time ap- peared to be looking only at you. - He favored war. Without exci'e- ment or strain, but emphatitaily clearly, as one who has his mind ana eye on a certain goal and presses steadily forward he declared that war would never cease so long as human- ity lived, and argued that Britain should always be ready for it. Then he shocked some of the audience by his contention "that Canada should raise and maintain forces for the de- fence of her own borders ,thus re- lieving Britain of par: of her bur den. Such an ddea in those days sounded like wu plea for separation from Britain. He was to have been the last speaker on the negative side. Mr. Harold Donley, the sole judge of the debate, was about to make a few re- marks wheri Jimmy sat down. But Soldier Thompson arose in the body of the hall and started an harangue that soon had the audience in an up- roar, Thompsoi was wearing his Afghan war and other campaign medals, as he always did when about to attend any event at which he thought it possible that unconscious- ly or deliberately there might be some reflecticn on Britain or the British. He was apt to see reflections, t00, where no one else noticed them, and where none were intended or . .

Here ana there one could pick out sentences condemning the young men who haa taken the affirmative in the debate.

In the light of your knowledge of life now you think that Thompson was "laughing in his sleeve" over 'he {ji ie iin] 3 din Mr. Partridge's whiskers and grey locks wagged together in orous negative, but Tom foiled by taking a vote of the audience \ i which decided almost unanimously for his suggestion. Joe Gilbertson, a shrewd, keen ob- server, as you afterwards learned, and a humorist in a quiet, dry way, followed Tom Bowling and withont once referring to the question that had been debated, kept the crowd in an almost continuous fit of laughter «| by his witticisms. Others were less diplomatic and tactful. They con- demned or praised the debaters with- out reservation, and very soon tur- moi] again reigned in the hall, Physical conflict was mear when the rector of the church of England ~you never spoke of it as the Ang- lican church in those days--steppec into the breach.
