We auite agree with a letter published else where by Mr. Catton that the Hydro-Electric Light and Power System should be complete in itself and wholly under control of the town, without entangle- ments that may result in trouble.

The proceeds, however, are to be hand-ed over to the' Red Cross fund. Short addresses were made by Mr. Whaley, who acted as chairman, and the other resident clergymezn, Rev.

The musical part of the program was furnished bv the Hanover Band, that splendid musical organization which alwavs delights us with their well chosen selections. Mr. H. H. Miller was also present and for half an hour or more gave an able address on the origin, design, and object of the Red Cross Movement. The address was highly inspiring and full of patriotic sentiment that can scarcely fail to do good. The rapt and undivided attention is the ,strongeSt evidence we can give 'of the large and appreciative au- dience. The proceeds at the gate and by later contributions amounted to more than $115. To this we must add another $15 ciated in a couple of selections, and in response to a special re- quest samg “The Man Behind the Plough.” The booth: were well patromzed taken in the following afternoon :es. a most devoted member of at a pancake knncheon given it the Methodist church, and a the headgMI-ters ‘of the. society. strong Christian cha‘racter, gl- For the next twelve years he was engaged in butchering and in ithe cattl: business.

'l‘li'e glorious fiveltth was cele- brated in Owen Sound this year, where- ,51 lodges had assembled in the 225th anniversary of the Bat- tle of the .Bofyne. The big Idemon- stration. this year differed from most of its predecessors. Patriotic tains took the place of party tunes, and the war of toâ€"day was .of greater moment than the war of 22-“: years ago. Both struggles were babes on the same underlying principles. Both were for libertv and freedom of thought and ac- tion. Under present conditions there was no room for narrowness and sectarian prejudices. As pointed out by some of the lead- ing speakers, the Orangemen to- dav were fighting shoulder to shoulder in the trenches with the Catholics of Belgium, France and Italy. The speakers on the platform at Harrison Park were numerous, and the speeches pithy and point- ed. Amongst them were Dr. Spro'ule of M‘arkdale, Speaker of the House of Commons; Hon. R.A Squires, attorney-general in the Mom-ms Cabinet in Ne wfound- land: Mr. Wm. McDonald, M.P.P., of ChesleYH Rev. Mr. Langton, ChesLe-y: R. J. Ball. M'.P.. Hanover: Mr. D. M.

Chesley Lodge 818 received the prize for having the greatest number of members in the procession. Goring Lodge 1295 was given the prize for the best dressed lodge and the prize for best appearance went to Glenelg Lodge 1192. Markd-ale got the prize for the lodge with the best banner.

ORANGEMEN IN OWEN SOUND The order was excellent, and by nine o’clock the streets were clear of strangers and visitors and citi- zens of the town could go to and fro as usual.
