(tg Ee', V A st,tg '7s3 n9: 412‘ The Pastime Club are to be con- gratulated on their ability to enter- tain as shown last Saturday when they ' put on the garden party at the school grounds. From the time the first visitor entered the prettily decorated grounds till the warning strokes of the clock announced closing time it was a. perpetual round of amusement and interest. Among the many attractions the fish pond and palmistry tent might he accorded first place. The uncer- tainty of what the angler would find at the end of the line being a tempta- tion to indulge in more than one throw While the delights of living in the un- known future was indulged in by many, the prophetess being kept busy and to her credit be it said no sadness of farewells or tales of woe were poured into the ears of her many pat- T trons that would shadow even for a moment their enjoyment ot the even-l ing's programme. One slight disap- pointment awaited the people in the unavoidable absence of Mr. Simpson, ventriloquist, whom many had antici- pate'd hearing. But the excellent and high'class musical numbers contribut- ed by local talent supplemented with several amusing and witty numbers by Mr. Beckett, a'returned veteran. left nothing to be desired along the line of entertainment. The Club, knowing the failings of their would-be patrons as to ice cream, candles and refresh- ing beverages, looked well to the de- mands and all feasted and toasted to their hearts content, the gaily decor- ated booths being surrounded with customers from early till late. The cake contest was won by Mr. Clarence Nolan and the beautiful dressed doll donated by Mr. Burton became the possession of Mr. Arthur Jefferson. the basket of groceries supplied by Mr. Haber went to Miss McGilllvary. The Club are much indebted to we two gentlemen for their generous gifts which added very much to the 'FuepBss and enjoyment of their under- taking. l Very impressive services were, held in Mount Dennis last Sunday in com- memoration of the signing of Peace. In the afternoon a, Union service of thanksgiving and praise was held on the grounds of the Church of the Good Shepherd under the combined chur- ches and the Great War veterans' As- sociation. The veterans, under the di- rection of Comrade Rigglesford and the leadership of the Mt. Dennis band, with Bandmaster Lodge in, charge, paraded to the grounds. Rev, A. J. Arthur opened the service, the Scrip- ture lesson being read by Rev. Mr, Hall and Rev. G. A. Gowans followed with prayer. An address was then given by Rev. W. N. Chantler in which he gave expression to the deep thank.. fulness to the Almighty for help in bringing the blessings of peace; also for the wise statesmen of the Allies who had labored so wisely and faith- fully in the negotiations needed for the bringing about of this great bless- ing and for the noble spirit displayed by the men who had gone forth to light the battles ot moral right and wrong, many of them paying the sac- rifice of life, others to return crippled and undone making the pathway of lite one of hardship and suffering) but through it all they kept a smiling! face a tribute to the sustaining power and love of Christ who forsook all for the redemption of a world from sin.

It might be here stated that he is still looking after the cartage business. Those needing his services should see that they give the local re- turned boy a show. . PAGE SIX ISLINGTON MT. DENNIS Dr. Rutledge of Goderich is retir- ing after " years of active service h the Methodist ministry, and was pre- sented with a handsome reading lamp, Mrs. Rutledge receiving a dinner wag- fer his car and services could send his name and address and what hours he would be at liberty to give to this cause. The committee would then be able to arrange motor parties and the men would all enjoy an outing, each getting his share of the good times prodded tor them by the kindness of their fellow men. Could not some one start a motor league for th comfort and enjoyment of the returned veterans who are con- fined to the military hospital, many of them without friends and with no possible chance of enjoying an outing of any kind unless some kind strang- er would proffer the loan of his car and himself or some other capable person to drive it. These men have given their limbs in defense of home and country and are to-day confined to the Christie Street, Davisville and other military hospitals, languishing for fresh air and new sights which are denied them because of their in- ability to get around by themselves. Many people loan their cars or them- selves make trips to the various homes and take the boys out and are only too glad to devote their spare hours in tu s manner, feeling more than re- paid by the smile that lightens up the pain racked passenger as he once more 1 gets a glimpse of the things that filled his life before war demanded its toll from him. But the number is inadequate to meet the needs.

Ten new members were initiated and many more applications were re- ceived. It is hoped that the hundred mark will soon be reached.

A 'social evening was held on Mon- day, June 30th, in the Methodist Church to welcome the returned sot- dierg of the village. Messrs.

A large number were present to extend a, hparty wel.. come to the boys. Capt. Rev. B. N. Burns occupied the pulpit of the Methodist Church last Sunday morning and Canon Green in the evening.

Q Farmers in Eastern Canada who have clover or timothy crops, reason- ably free from weeds with seeds dif- fieult of separation, can depend on a strong demand tor seed at unusually high prices. The Ontario Department ot Agriculture is arranging to ass.st in the tragsportation of clover seed hullers, wlpeh can be spared from Western Ontario, to than counties in Eastern Ontarla which f v3 excel- lent clover crops for t3tc a, m; "e. Jew. In Quebec, New Brunswv; "nd N. vs. Semis. clover seed hullers are awMt- able for the use ot farmers per bushel tor autumn delivery, which is an advance of almost $5.00 since May 16th. Timothy seed was quoted at $13.50 per hundred pounds, and is advancing steadily, The Seed Commissioner has just returned from the International con- ventional ot the Seed Trade Associa- tion held at Chicago, and reports that there is very real cause tor prospec- tive high prices in clover and timothy seeds for autumn delivery. Through the greater part of the clover seed districts of the United States and Western Ontario the new clover crop was destroyed by drouth in August of last year. The timothy acreage in the United States was also much reduced in order to grow wheat. There are practically no reserve supplies of clov- er seeds being carried over for next year, and timothy seed stacks are also very low. Prices are soaring in consequence. Red clover seed on the Toleda. mar- ket was quoted on June 28th at $24.75 Friends met the boys at the depot and escorted them to their different homes, where a warm welcome await- ed them. HARVEST CLOVER AND Pte. Kenneth Kingdom, son of Mr. and Mrs. James Kingdom, a member or the Royal Canadian Dragoons, re- turned some two weeks ago.

Mr. Franks, the newly appoint- ed pastor of Lambton Mills and Hum- bervale, preached his first sermon last Sunday afternoon. There was a large congregation to welcome him and wish him every success in his new field. While wishing him a cordial welcome the friends are sorry to say farewell to their old pastor, Rev.

Leonard, whose life-motto was, "I want to do the work entrusted to me in the very best way that I can," should have been eager tor the approx bation of his fellows. In a scrapbook containing the clippings of newsj papers for the past twenty years. there is a letter from Lord Shaugha1esssr,, congratulating him upon the manner in which he had moved the wheat crop; amt during his first year as assistant superintendent of the western divid sion. It is evident that he valued the letter as an evidence of work well) done, rather than as the approval of the head of the system. d , A new derby was purchased, sleek, and in the latest fashion of the eighteen nineties. J. W. put it on, and ordered the famous old, slouch hat to be sent home. Next morning', J. W. appeared on the job in the old slouch hat! Another anecdote indicates the late .Mr. Leonard's quiet but effective method of brushing away the vanities of human nature, A young man applied for a job to him. This young man was sporting a walking stick. "I'm afraid we can’t do anything for you," said Mr. Leonard. "wt can’t use a lame man." _ q "But I'm not lame!" protested the applicant. . “Then why the cane?” asked J. W. ', . The applicant got the job, but he discarded the stick and also a certain frame of mind out of which the stick arose.
