He was the pioneer in the Hol- stein business in this district, having bought the first animal of that breed some thirty years ago. He also introduced silos into the vicinity, having built the first of those feed savers here. Mr. R. M.

One should be more concerned for the keeping green of the 'memory . of the splendid men who came from the remote and sparsely people settlements-from the lonely camp, farm or mine- and gave their all for their coun- try with a patriotism that must never be forgotten. Such poor and thinly. settled 'communities may find in the fol- lowing suggestion a means by which they may permanently rpetuate the memory of their | heroes at a negligible . cost of money All that is needed is a spirit of cordial co-operation on the part of a few men and women who are interested. These should 'get together as soon as possible and arrange for the removal of a huge natural rock of boulder-the | bigger the bétter-to say the dis- trict School grounds or nearby crosseroads (or the church or grave-yard if easy of access.) On Arbor Day (about May 7) the chiliren of the vicinity should plant a maple tree, assisted by the teacher and school commis- sion with appropriate cere- monies; near the rock or boulder, hereafter the cenotaph of the soldier whose memory the com- munity desires to perpetuate. At the roots of each tree thus plant- ed, place a sealed bottle or erock: ery-ware - vessel containing a orief record of each soldier hor.- ored, sighed by the mayor, school commissioners, councillors, teack.- er, neighbors and other interest ed persons, Such a record should give the parentage of the soldier, the place and date of his birth, date of enlistment, manner and place of death, ete. Current coins and newspapers and brief local historical records, properly protected in a glass or crockery- ware container, should also be placed beneath the cenotaph. And in the schoolhouse (church: or lodge room) on the same day, an official Roll of Honor sur- mounted by a small Silken Union whole-cenotaph, maple trees, roll of honor and flag-entrusted to the children for safe keeping, it being impressed upon them that it is at once a duty and a privilege to cherish the memory of our country's heroes, 70,000 having died 'in the cause. of humanity and right. or boulder used as a cenotaph should be large enough and of such sort as would allow of the me if the services & a gapsble ton le availehle; if not, this could be done later by a modern od Mortality who wo ices the ous memory o: an dead.

G. Hutcheson, Manager : | - a,' How Prohibition . » * Will Prohibit [World Wide} : We have nation.wide prohibi- tion on the statute books. But every-where there is liquor, and stocks laid by, before prohibitign went into effect, moonshine of domestic make and smuggled whiskey from Canada, Every- where there is infinite talk of different kinds of home brew. Superfically it looks as if the law were not a success. Its evasion is not limited by locality, nor by income. The rich and the poor alike in all parts of the country circumvent it. So they did the law against duelling for a long time, Put after a while duelling succumbed to the law. Perfaps after a while the probition amend- ment may follow suit. It is a well known fact, especially in this country, that a well planned advertising, distributing, and selling campaign can increase the use of any article to a tremen dous degree. The manufacture: of drinks had developed extreme: ly efficient advertising and dis- tributing systems, The saloo: system of the United States stimulated drinking with great Success. As a commercial ® pro position it was extremely effee- tive. The beer and liquor adve. - tising was consistently and ably done. And the distribution wa: as good as the distribution of al most any other kind of goods an: better than most. All this has been stopped. And stopping itis going to have a tremendous effect. People want automobiles as much as they d: whiskey, but how many automo biles would be sold if they coult not be n ade in quantity, adver tised in public or sold in the open? People have bought silk for thousands of years, but how much silk would be purchased if the buyer had to hunt out an in dividual weaver and run the risk of a fine and jail sentence for transporting the silk. Ungquest- lionably in all these cases some people would still get the forbid- en article just as people still smuggle things through the cus- toms but, speaking nationally. these evasions amount to little in the long run, In some places there is unquestionably more moonshining now than before rohibition went into effect. ut over the whole country even the most persistent efforts of individual bootleggers and smug- glers could not equal but a small proportion of thé manufacture and sale of the liquor indstry as it was organized. e is then every prospéct of a constantly diminishing use of intoxicating liquor as with each succeeding crop of young men there will be fewer and fewer who have had the opportunity or stimulus to get in the habit of drinking even even moderately. Prohibition at-present does not' prohibit in the sense that it prevents moon- shining, smuggling, etc.. But it does prohibit big business, effec- tive organization for producing, advertising, and selling, and in this and age the industry or, day that is without these essentials "is doomed.

Miss Kilpatrick passed peace- 'ully 'away at her home near Cedar Creek on Friday, January 27th, 1922, her life being spent n the farm on which she was orn. She had always enjoyed excellent health until last June, vhen she was stricken with pa- alysis. From that time until ner death she was a helpless in- valid, but she bore her long illness aud helplessness with unusual ratience and resignation. The fortitude she displayed in facing the end was a clear manifestation to all those around her of the. powers of the Gospel to comfort and uphold in the trying hour. Miss Kilpatrick will always be especially remembered for the' gracious hospitality of her home, which was extended to strangers and friends alike. She was the only daughter of John Kilpatrick and 'Ann Craw- ford, and was one of six'children, four of whom survive her; Thos: and Robert, British Columbia; Edward, Toronto; Joseph, Re- gina ; and George, dece: . The funeral service was 'held at her home on Monday, January 30th, conducted by her pastor, Rev. J..T. Hall of St. John's Presbyterian Church, Port Perry, of which sh years a memb remains were borne to the Pine Grove Cemetery, the large num- ber in attendance betokening the esteem in which she was held.-- m. : A "HOCKEY.
