Prizes and trophies areJmng up for competition, but the material things are a small consideration in comparison to their love ot the sport. There is a vim, sincerity and earnestne5s in their play, witnessed in few other kinds of sports.

He stressed the idea that all should stand for union that the future might see a greater Canada. ' He paid compliments to Montreal, the capital of Canadian industry and Canada's great seaport. Past historic Quebec through the immense Gulf of St. Lawrence into the ocean and he pictured the beauty or rolling ocean waves in a storm. Passed the Scilly Islands and landing first at Cher- bourg in France. Such a tour as the Weekly News- paper men had was calculated to draw the Empire closer and was a Justification of the government for spending money to aid in a Daily Newspaper tour. Greece and Rome had diaerent ideals, but they passed oft the map, the ideals of the Bri- tish Empire tended to make It endur- ing. From there to Southampton, near which was the scene ot King Canute's lesson to his courtiers, when the sea rolled in on his mightiness. From here they went to Antwerp and pic- tured the busy harbor fioating ships from every country in the world. He made reference to the great work little Belgium had done in the war. a lesson for Canada, with resources fat exceeding Belgium. On to Malines, Rheims. with its grand Cathedral and in passing paid, tribute to Cardinal Marcier and bracketed him with King Albert as the inspirers of their people. Mr McIntosh was on his native heath, felt more at home in that church than in any other spot in Canada, and he gave a. reminiscent View of early experiences in the place of his birth. He was among people "who knew him all through" and the knowledge of this gave him pleasure and courage. They visited of course. the field of Waterloo with its great memorial mound, an epoch making event, though insignificant when compared with the late war. A trip to Liege gave a chance to extol their heroic defence early in the war, where 550 Belgians died, but held the enemy back. On to Lille and he told how wonderfully the traces of the war were being covered up. They felt the lack of time to see all the battlet1clds, but one they must see was Vimy Ridge, at which they spent most time. This with St. Julian, Coureer ette and Passchendaele was forever associated with the heroism of Can- adian boys. h Trip to the War Zone and " Bonnie Scotland The people of Dornoch and vicinity and a few trom Durham and other points had a treat on Friday evening last when Mr Cameron McIntosh gave a. synopsis of his trip to Europe with the Press Party in Dornoch Presbyterian church.- Pastor Siilars presided and after the presentation of some interesting stereopticon views of Scottish buildings, scenery, etc., and vocal selections by the Misses Sillars, and Peter Ramage and violin selec- tions by)E. Leuck and son, the lee. turer of the evening was t1ttingly in- troduced. The cemeteries made them feel they were on sacred ground and brought vividly to their mind the oft- quoted saying that it was "up to us to see that they did not die in.vuin." The Government purpose to erect memorials on tive battle grounds where Canadians distinguished them- selves.

Then to Wembley Exhibition, where the Canadian section was admitted on all hands to be the best of the over- seas efforts. It was going to be of beneilt to Canada by showing her possibilities.

McIntosh DURHAM, THURSDAY, AUGUST 14, 1924 With which is incorponted the Holstein Lender Durham Man Almost Lost life in the Atlantic Walkerton Passenger ml: of Close Call of Thou. Henderson Visiting among old friends and rel- atives in Bonnie Scotland. Mr Thus. Henderson, baker, and two children, are enjoying every moment of their sojourn abroad. As it is 18 years since Mr Henderson' left his native land, he is naturally enthused and delighted at revisiting the scenes of boyhood days. A letter Mrs Hender. son received this week tells of seeing his mother and brothers in Dundee. visiting his elder brother at Mont- rose and also staying at Mrs Hender- son‘s old home town, Arbroath. Mr. Henderson is planning to visit El- gin, Nairn and lnverness and other northern points before returning late in September. Rain and unsuitable weather cor.- ditions have resulted in the indefinite postponement of the Anglican church garden party. it was tirgt billed for Friday night last at the home of Mr: A. Crutchley, north of town, but Jute iter Pluvius left his calling card that evening. and the event was then ad. vertised for Monday. A heavy show- er, late in the afternoon on Monday and cool weather again, caused disap» pointment. Considerable loss has been entailed in securing suppliles and oatables. Warm tribute was paid the lecturer by the audience and "God Save the King" watt' loyally sung. Double Postponement All through the lecture there were “asides" to inculcate patriotism, to rouse youth to higher thoughts, and in closing he expanded on this fea- ture. He paid tribute to the men who built the British Empire and loyally he said, Canada had been foremost. "We build this country as a contribu- tion to the Empire. Canada is giving ideas to Australia, New Zealand, B. Africa. Ireland: the League of Na- tions is built on a Canadian pattern 3 we have gone forward, we dare not turn back." The voyagp across the Atlantic was an extremely rough paisage Lttd according to Mr Frank Weaver. organ- ist, of Walkerton, and a fellow pas- senger, Mr Henderson was within an ace ot losing his life by being swept ott the deck. Mr Weaver's story ls that the boat, when midway in the He roused' the Scottish spirit by memories of Wallace and Bruce, glor- ied that the Highlands were never conquered and came south again to the Burns country paying the poet a warm tribute for his service to hu- manity. ocean. got into a nasty spot known as “Devil's ‘Hollow" and for many hours was buffeted about in the deep. A huge wave which washed over the deck, caught Henderson and swept him ott his feet and was carrying him into the sea when he grabbed hold of a rail and hang on until rescued. Seeing that they nearly had a tragedy on their hands, the ship's managn- meat ordered all passengers oft the deck tor two days while the sea. was running high. homes. Some are now living on the spot from which their grandfather was evicted. "From these rugged shores came the men who have made Canada."

Accordingly 55 mills was agreed upon, being made up as follows: County Rate ........... 6 7-10 mills Sidewalk............... 4-10 mills Public Library .........1 5-10 mills Town bylaws .......... 5 7-10 mills Town guaranteed lay-laws . (Jackson and Clark Deducting an estimate of the prob. able receipts, the town was at pres- ent over $12,000 short of what should now be available. and to wipe out our present current indebtedness, and carry on next year, a larger rate would be necessary. Last year the rate was struck several mills too low. and for some three or four years " has been barely high enough to cov- er all liabilities. Metals) ........ Public School m.... High School F..... General Town Rate 55 millsi Part of the increased rate is owing to higher High Sch. estimates. which: has increased the rate from 4 9-10 to 8 3-10 mills, over ' mills. The big climb was made in the general town rate which last year was 5 6-10 mills and is now over 8 mills higher. Re Jackson Building The lease of this factory and equip. ment to J. H. Harding at $25 per month was again under discussion. We were in error last week in stating no rent had been paid, as $93 in ac- counts for work done had been ap- plied by the town towards this rent. Coun. McDonald. Chairman of the Property Com., reported having inter- viewed the lessee, who had used it for manufacturing only two months after the Council got possession. He was willing to settle for $25 for these months and pay " a month storage since that time, which said Conn. McDonald, is about all Council could expect, since the most impor- tant machine had been sold last fall, and the motor had also been removed. With his last account passed, Mr. Harding has now over 8130 applied towards rent. " above rate is agreed upon. regarding which the Council was divided, rent is now largely paid, but the Property Com. was left to make a settlement. Reeve Calder. Chairman of the " nance Com., had with the uslatanco of other members of the Council, carefully estimated the probable Ch" penses for the balance of 1924 and tor 1925 and pruned them as low as possible. After an hour and I half serious deliberation Monday night. Durham Council, with all members present. decided to levy a " mill tax rate for 1924. which is " more than last year, and 9 above the previous high water mark in Durham. Durham is, however a low assessed town. and " mills here ls equal to 40 or " in many other towns.
