Anhle Ross of the Macdon- ald Institute, Guelph, the Chief Speaker. Napanee, Jan. 29-- The second annual Mother and Daughter ban- quet of the Napanee branch of the Women's Institute was held in the Masonic Hall on Thursday evening. Covers Were laid for about 240 guests. The hall was decorated with multi-colored lights and cast a soft glow over the tables which were very pretty with Institute colors of blue and yellow and candelebras of the same shades. The many guests did ample justice to the splendid re- past which the mothers had provid- ed. Throughout the evening the ladies' orchestra rendered delight ful music, After the banquet, Mrs. W. J. Shannon i8d in community singing, and then the toast mistress, Mrs, Alpine Woods, President of the Wo- men's Institute, proposed the toast to the King. Mrs. George I. Perry proposed the toast "For Home and Country," the motto of the Wom- en's Institute, which was responded to by Mrs. Shore Loynes. Miss Dwy- er then sang "O Canada." The toast to "Our Mothers" was splendidly proposed by Miss Eileen MacCor- mack and responded to by Mrs, Laughland, after which Miss Dwy- er sang "Mother Macree." | Dr. Annie Ross of Macdonald In- stitute, Guelph, was the chief speak- er of the evening. She compliment- ed the Napanee branch of the Wo- men's Institute dn its fifth bi¥thday and its growth rom 25 members to 160 at the present time. The prob- lem which faces Canadfan®mothers today is to get the mothers and daughters together and this was being accomplished. © Association was the greatest thing in the world. Fellowship 1s considered greater than service. Thé three dearest words in the English language are "Jesus, Mother, Home." The three phases of life: which Dr. Ross em- phasized are Love, Beauty and Truth, and the mothers of today should try and develop all three. Mrs, George Switzer moved a vote of thanks to Dr. Ross, and to all those who had assisted in mak- ing the evening a success. Mrs. Ei- la Wagar seconded the motion, af- ter which the meeting closed with the National Anthem. Mrs. J. BE. Robinson and Mrs. Ralph Sills entertained a number of friends on Wednesday at five hun- dred. Bight tables were in play and the pretty souvenirs were won by Mrs. Spencer and Miss Herring.

Mr. and Mrs. McPherson both carried off the lone-hand prizes. : LETTERS To The Editor Of The Whig = g DECIDES THAT REGIS IS 70 BE RETURNED (Continued From Page 1) sentenced to three years in the Ionia penitentiary, also a document to Mr. Tubbs to s¢e that Regis was taken into custody and surrendered to the proper authorities in the State of Michigan. Mr. Nickle contended that there was nothing in the list of extradit- able crimes about escaping, and he could not see where Regis could be extradited. Se sald that Regis had been punished. He pointed out the severity of the sentence of from three to fifteen years for stealing a second-hand pair of trousers and three dollars. Judge Lavell's Remarks. Judge Lavell stated that what he had to go by were two things, whether or not this was the man and if his case was extraditable. Regis was not here charged with house- breaking, theft, or anything else. He has been convicted and the penalty imposed and the pemalty had not been finished. Regis had served only thirteen months of his sent- ence. If he were returned he could not be tried for anything else. Mr. Rigney stated that it was not @ question of nationality or severity of the sentence. Regis was being tried as to whether or not he should be extradited. He contended that it had been established that Regis was the man wanted. Judge Lavell, in giving his judg- ment, stated to Regis that he had been charged with having. been con- victed of burglary. The certificates from the United States had been forwarded and showed Regis to be the man. The fact of nationality did not come into the question and he could not see where he had the right to do anything but surrender him to, the United States. "It is my duty to inform you," said His Honor, "tht you shall not be surrendered until fifteen days and you have the right of habeas corpus if you so desire to take advantage of it." Mr. Nickle stated after the case had been heard, that it had not been decided whether habeas corpus pro- ceedings would be carried out. He said they had fifteen. day to decide and the question would be. consid- ered.

Cooke the entertainer from Ottawa gave an Calls It Creed Feud. Sir:--Last Easter, . considerable l}| time was allowed at the Ontario Edu- Jil | cational Association 1925 convention in Toronto for the discussion of the subject, "Religious «Instruction in Public Schools." I have made a i} | careful study of the "propaganda" of the Ontario Educational Associa- | tion, particularly the trustees' and ratepayers' division. I concluded some time ago the objects are to de- stroy the one-room school house, three-trustee system and lady teach- er, and could quote statements from school journal to prove my conten- tion. Later it has developed into a further demoralizing scheme of mak- ing a greater gulf between the dif- ferent religious factions, already it has been advertised that the discus- sion on religious Instruction in schools i$ to form an important part in the coming Easter convention. The question 1s: 'Are the ratepayers of Lennox and Addington going to send delegates to the O.E.A. convention, at the expense of $20 or $25 each, to listen to the funeral dirge of the rural school house, three trustees, lady teacher, and the beginning of & creed feud in our education sys- tem? §. ~H.

Mayor Angrove as well as a number of the members of the : County Council spoke and the most amicable rela- tions between city and county were evident from the tenor of the speeches. Congratulatiops from every side were extended to Mr. Graham on the high honor which had been conferred on him. G. E. Roth- well contributed to the entertain- ment with several selections of the pipes during the evening and the mayor proved himself an able elo- cutionist, Mayor Angrove who was pre- sent as the representative of the city of Kingston stressed the unity of the city and county. He spoke of several matters of interest to both of these places; particularly the newly form- ed Tourist Association and the Juve- nile Court. He said that he had been present at the recent conference held in the city looking toward establish- ing a fish hatchery here and he was sure that anything that would stop 'the depletion of the fish in the lakes of thé county would be of benefit to both the city and county because it was to a large extent the fishing that attracted tourists. The Juvenile Court, he said, he did net think as far as the city of Kingston was concerned, was a mat- ter for present comsideration. He was opposed to anything that would have a tendency to increase taxation. He sald that the boys were leaving Canada by the hundreds because of TENDERS -A BANQUET 4 5 Kingston's Biggest Home Furnishers Simmons' "Graceline" Beds -- « Yi rn 1 3 For anyone seeking individuality in Bedroom Furniture, Simmons' new line of All-Steel, Wood Finished Beds dressers--only ........ ......
