If our clothes were getting shabby What cared we when plenty more Waited for us at the store house, Perhaps a robe on yonder shore. No high cost for simbly living, Mid the city of the dead, Bully beef was self sustaining Plenty biscuits, hard as lead. Cooks, who never peeled a tater, Knocked off cooties, saved a, bath, We were happy, quite contented, Always found a chance to laugh. I I’m so sad, and mlghty lonesome For the days not long ago, When the star-shells of old Fritizie Lit the Heaven with wondrous glow. Those were days spent in the trenches, Trailing deep through No Man's Land, Where at night we played stud poker, Unmolested, it was grand. Then we had friends by the thousand, Far acres the stormy sea, Writing letters of condolence To somewhere they couldn't see, "Do be crarefull," read those letters, "Of the ladies when on leave, Say your prayers and cut out drinking, Come bapk sbon, your Uncle Steve." Mother dear was ever knitting, Nice warm socks we never got, Thanks to colonels, generals, batmen Whom I swear off nailed the lot. Yet for all We were quite happy, In the dugout of contentment, We would smoke and yarn at east, Scratch without some idiot kicking, Liked to see the big guns warm, While we shivered in contentment i Trying not to look forlorn. Some were lousy, some had fleas. No one grumbled, all were happy, Heaven and Hell was mixed up there No one sought a flowery funeral If you wanted fags or money You could go and salvage same, Find 'em, get' em was our motto, No surrender, play the game, None were strangers, all were brothers One big purse we all would pay, And in death we were united, General, Private, common clay. _ Things have changed, no longer broth- ers, As We pass each other by, Tightened fingers on our purse strings Let the combmn beggar die. All is well, the War is over, Selfishness now reigns supreme, Soon must come another Kaiser, When men will see what might have been. John T. Peck, Cleveland/ Ohio. Mr. I. w. Royce, collector ot taxes for the Tan of Mimico, is now mak- ing up tax bills tor 1919, which will be in‘the hands of the ratepayers in the course pt a few days. The first inStalment becomes due on the twen- tieth day of September. ' VIOLIN AND PIANO INSTRUCTION STUDIO, RUSSELL ROAD Just a blanket ‘took us there THINGS HAVE CHANGED I. V. MOUSLEY Phone Weston 303 The civic welcome home to the gal- lant soldiers of Mimico held on Sat- urday last proved a wonderful success and several thousand people asSen1- bled to do honor to the returned her- oes. In spite of the unsettled condi- tion of the weather during the week, the grounds committee, ably headed by Reeve Coulton, went on with prepara- tions for a great day, hoping and trusting that their labors would be rewarded by a glorious sunny day and they felt amply repaid for their stren- uous labor when Saturday dawned fair and kept tair until the end ot the greatest day in the history of Mim- ico. Everything in the day's pro- gramme was arranged with the sole object of honoring the returned men; this was to be their day, and the, or- dinary citizens were called upon and responded gladly and willingly to the caOto do all in their power to make it a memorable time for those who had fought and bled tor their coun- try's weal. Commencing at 2 p.m., with music furnished by the members of the New Toronto Brass Band, un- der the capable leadership of Mr. G. Baker, an excellent programme ot sports was gone through. The sports throughout the day were limited in the entires to the returned soldiers, their wives, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers and children, and every event had a good lint' up of contestants. The prizes were all good and in value ex- ceeded the average given at most ath- letic carnNals. Three prizes were given for the majority of the events and two in the remainder. The sports committee worked well together and carried out their duties in very cred- itable style. A great deal of enjoy- ment resulted both to the tompetitors and spectators. The lacrosse match provided an hour's real pleasure torl those interested, and they were many, the game being between our own local team and the Dominions, a clean, well played game being won by the visitors, the score being 5-4. Ex-Mayor Harri- son refereed the game. After the Ia.- crosse match came the principal func- tion' of the day, the feeding of the soldiers and the presentation to eaph ~man of a solid gold Signet ring by Mayor West on behalf ot the town council and the citizens ot Mimico. In a large marquee, 30 ft. x 50 ft., long tables were set, daintily and ar- tistically decorated with flowers and flags. The chief essential, the edibles, were in no way lacking, a good, sub.. ‘stantial meal being put before the 1men, who were served by the town's ’prettiest maidens. One hundred and thirty-five soldiers, the Mayor, Coun- cillors and town's officials, along with the speakers of the day, occupied the benches-surrounding the well laden tables, and made a. terrific onslaught on the good things provided, undis- mayed ttthdplas,e proximity of sev- eral hundred spectators. \ Supper, being over, cigars and big- arettes were handed round to the men. Mayor West, in a. few well chosen words, welcomed in, the name ot the people of Mimico those men who had gone forth and had been spared to return once more to their loved ones, and stated that he, along with the rest of the citizens, had watched with the keenest interest the doings of he boys ot Mimico and had tried to make a better town to come home to than the town they had left, and tr-usted that now. they were pack hey top would help to make Mimico bigger and bet- teri than ever. The Mayor then unveiled the honor roll, a work of art that the people of Mimico can look upon with' pride and upon which is inscribed the name of every hero who had enlisted trom Mimico, and proposed the silent toast, a toast in honor of Miniico's heroic dead, naming them, twenty-nine of the flower' of Mimico's young man-, hood. After the silent toast had been duly observed, the Mayor called upon the Rev. H. O. Tremayne, who’spoke of the men's heroism and sacrifices, and eloquent but short speechetrwere given by Dr. Godfrey, M.P.P., Rev. Father Doherty, Rev. G. J. MacKay, the Rev. J. W. Morgan, the Rev. A. MacMillan, a former Pastor of the Presbyterian Church, whose interest in Mimico and its people is yet so strong that on seeing the announce- ment of the proposed welcome in the papers, he could not resist the desire to come to Mimico and celebrate with the relatives and friends of the re- turned heroes. Major Streight of Is- lington delighted the crowd with re- miniscences.and humorous stories of the soldiers. At the conclusion of the |speech ot Mr. Morgan, whose elo- quence moved all present, and who i has gained the esteem and respect of all who know him by his fortitude and conscientious performance of his duties as a preacher and a citizen, in face of very heavy bereavements, three' rousing cheers were given to the rev- erend gentleman on motion of Dr. Godfrey. The Mayor proposed a toast to the ladies of Mimico, who had worked so hard and 'untiringly during the war and since for the benefit of the "'boys," coupling the toast with the names of Mrs, Forbes Godfrey, Mrs. West, Mrs. Keyes and Mrs. Jas. Free, referring especially to the grea,t and unflagging efforts of Mrs. Free. The toast was received with‘great en- thusiasm, but failed to elicit any ora- tory from any of the ladies named, the ladies being evidently of the class who believe that actions speak louder than words. Following the welcome home speeches, Mayor West then pre- sented the returned men present with a gold Signet ring, as a token of the appreciation of the people of Mimico, the men responding to their names, which were called alphabetically. The young ladies who waited on the men at the table were Miss M. Street,, Miss Crawford, Miss Constance Godfrey, Miss Barbara Johnston, Miss Florence Bland, Miss M. Free, Miss S. Riding, Miss S. Hele, 'Miss Dora Parkinson, Miss Marjory VVaites and Miss Annie HeWton. The sports programme was then continued, after which a grand display of fireworks, followed by dancing, brought to a conclusion a day that will long be remembered in Mim- ice. A pleasing feature of the visit of the Prince of Wales will be the plant- ing of a maple tree in Earlscourt, In Earlscourt the Prince will be warmly welcomed by hundreds if not thous- ands of his fellow countrymen, fellow countrymen who responded quickly to the call of England when needed in the great war, and who formed the largest part of Toronto's noble con- tingent. The honor of a visit by our future king is welt deserved by these men and the brave women who stayed behind, and the readiness of the Royal visitor to acéede to their wishes is but a. further proof of his truly democratic qualities. May his visit be one that 'will leave behind it pleasant memories tor all. MIMICO Nicol Anderson, Louis Andrews, H, F. Archer, Richard Atkey, G. E. Bail- ley, F. Banks, Jas. D. Banks, Sam Barclay, R.
