J. Rutherford responded eloquently. He spoke of those who fought and did not come back and at the pleasurable feeling he had at seeing so many monuments erected in the county to their honor, and feelingly referred to a son of the Warden. a brave young man who fell in the war. Then there were thOse who came back from the war who needed help and sympathv to aid them.- to settle down to civil life. In this connection he said that Owen Sound had a line soldiers‘ organiza- tion that was doing excellent work in getting work for ex-soldiers and were always willing to help any worthy cause. The third group con- tained those boys who go to camp, who were not old enough to go to the war, but who were ready. should war break out. to take up the cause.

Wright also responded to this toast and expressed his grat- itude and admiration for the men who went overseashand the debt that the civic population owed to the men in khaki. "What kind of an Empire and Dominion would we have had but for them?” he asked. It had been a dream that wars were a thing of the past, but there came the greatest war in history. He be- lieved that as long as humanity lasted the final settlement of dis- putes between nations would be by force of arms. He endorsed all that Major Rutherford had said and add- ed that these ex-soldiers should be remembered adequately and given anything they asked for within rea- son. Patriotic sentiments should be nourished. for at an time another war might come. i‘ ilitarv organi- zations should not be cut down here or in Britain. he said.

The ' did exceeding- ly well and are to e congratulated on their stamling as the training which they received was limited. The following are the members of the team: Thomas Fraser, Chats- worth; Stewart Falls, Rocklyn; 0r- rin Batty, Meaford; Edward Lang- tree. Roeklyn; Vernon Perry, Rock- lyn. They received a total of 3,089 points, bringing them to seventeenth place. All told. thirty-live counties were represented. n The boys judged the following classes: Clydesdales, Percherons, Shorthorns, Herefords, Ayrshires. Holsteins, Leicesters, Shropshires. Yorkshires and Berkshires. They gave their reasons for placings to Messrs. John (lardhouse, Weston; J. H. Smith, Beaverton; Prof. George E. Day, Guelph; W. R. Reek, Ridge- t.,0wn; E. S. Archibald, Ottawa; R. S. Stevenson, Aneaster; R. W. Wade, 'l‘oronto; Col. McEwen, London; J. E. Brethour, Burford; R. H. Harding, 'l‘horndale. Eighteen minutes were given for placing the animals and two minutes were given for reasons. The Department at M'arkdale would like a larger number of boys to enter the judging competition work. It may be the means of giv- ing the b s a chance to make money at the Fal Fairs. It may also get them started in show stock, which will benefit them and the county. Next week three boys will go to Guelph Winter Fair for judging competition there. Hog Clubs. Although only two weeks have elapsed at least two applications have been received for males.

It had been a pleasure to be W‘arden with such an intelligent Council. Every member of the Council had done his best to give the County his best service. He did not expect to be in the County Council again next year but might be back at some future time. ______ -v- \« o- H“ â€" 'lhc function endb-(i \\ ith the singâ€" ing of Auld Lang Syne.
