TORONTO It is significant that one month of the twelve should be named after Mars or Martius, the Roman war god. Still more significant is the fact that March was once given the place of honor as the first month of the year. The Romans regarded it as the first month of the year, until the adoption of the Julian calendar in B. C 46. In France it was conâ€" sidered the first month of the year until in A. D. 1564, Charles I, by an edict, decreed January to be the first month. Scotland followed the example cf France, and made the change in 1599, but March continued to be the beginning of the legat yeas in England until 1759 THE MoONTH or MARCH The AngloSaxons â€" called March the "lengthening month" because during its weeks, the days rapidly became longer. They also called it "the loud or stormy month" because of its blustry weather, The poet Bryant spoke . of the return of the stormy March "with wind, and cloud and changing skies." March may usually be trusted to live up to its name in providing some warâ€"like weather. Don‘t you know that every dollar you send out of town for merchandâ€" ise is sent to strangersâ€"to men who never spend a dollar here ? You don‘t save much â€" usually nothing, when you send your money out of town. And don‘t you know that the growth and prosperity of this town and community depend very largely upon the success and prosperity of the home merchant ? Out of town people judge our town by the appearâ€" ance of our stores and the degree of enterprise shown by our merchants. And our home merchants cannot sueâ€" ceed unless home folks give them loyal support.

Don‘t you think you ought to trade with him and be his friend and his helper in time of need , He is the chap who helps ‘suppport our churches and charitable organiâ€" zations and talks for the home town and boosts for it every day in the year. He is a chap whose clerks live in the home town and spend their monâ€" ey with you and other local people. He is the chap who meets you at the door with a handshake and lets you out with a message to the ‘kids‘ and a real ‘come again, goodbye.‘ He is the. chap who gives youa back your money or makes exchansgâ€" es when you are not satisfied with what you have bought.

Mr Fisher expressed the opinion that the Prime Minister had delegated the job of making that speech to Mr. Nickle because Mr Ferguson had a sense of humor and could not have kept a straight face in the delivery of the arguiment. There has been quite a thaw this week and all are pleased to have a few fine days. "After all the Attorney General has told ths House and the Province about the Gov‘ts ‘proposed 4.4 per cent beer, it is still 4.4 per cent beer and 2 1â€"2 per cent beer is still 2 1â€"2 per cent beer for which the people of Ontario voted." The outstanding indication of the attitude of the Liberal opposition to that major attempt of the Gov‘t to put 4.4 per cent beer over on the Province was given by Harold %‘Ish- er, K.C., Liberal member for Ottawa, one of Ontario‘s outstanding temperâ€" ance men, who summed up his whole answer to the Attorney General‘s arâ€" gument upon the, non intoxicating qualites of 4.4 beer in effect as folâ€" lows :â€" Characterizing _ Attorney General Nickle‘s four hour oratorical effort in the Legislature last week as a Govâ€" ernment device to soothe the conâ€" sciences of the 50 Conservatives elâ€" ected from dry Ridings, Liberal memâ€" bers speaking in the debate in the Address almost treated the Attorney General‘s speech with contempt. A reduction of almost $7,000,000 was the outstanding feature of the main Estimates. Another _ notable fact is that, if the reductions in the main estimates of thel ast three fisâ€" cal years are added together, there is to the credit of the Dominion Government a total cut in estimated expenditure _ of _ nearly _ $105,000,000 and this in the face of heavy unconâ€" trollable outlays that cannot be cut. WHAT OTHER PROV. MEMBERS THINK OF PREMIER‘S VERDICT The god of war has been moved down from first to third place in the order of the months upon the calenâ€" dar. The god of war deserves to be further lowered in public estimation. No month was named in honer of Peace, because in ancient days the god of war held first place. A change, however, is coming over the thinking of the Christan world. The ideal of Peace is supplanting that of war. Mars, the god of war, must make way for Christ, the Prince of Peace.

As Dr Mearns was honored so ofâ€" ten by the townspeople in life, so, he was honored in death. A fltdng memorial service ~was conducted at the Presbyterian church and his reâ€" mains were borne to the tomb, atâ€" tended by all civic honors. The Hanover Band led the cortege and members of‘ the Town Council of this and other years and other pubâ€" lic men of the town marched in the funeral procession. As a doctor he was highly spoken of, as man and citizen esteemed. His name in the County will not soon be forgotten. The Hanover Post in a fine wrt6â€" up of deceased says : "As a mark of respect, Mayor Ball requésted businâ€" ess places closed yesterday afterâ€" noon for two hours while services were being held. He has always bulked largely in his home town. Was in the Council for a long period, has been Mavor and Reeve frequently. and filled the Warden‘s chair at Co. Council for one year acceptably. Passing of Dr. W. A. Meams Dr. Mearns was prominent in the ranks of Liberalism in S. Grey for many years. Several times a nominâ€" ation was pressed upon him for the Legislature but though he never conâ€" sented to stand, he spoke and workâ€" ed for the party. He was a speaker of power in his palmy days, often elâ€" oquent, and few could shatter the arguments of an opponent better than he. (The following article was inadâ€" vertently ‘omitted in our last issue. and not noticed until the issue was half run off.â€"Ed.) On Sunday last, Feb. 13th, there died in Toronto General Hospital, the well known. Hanover physician, Dr. W. A. Mearns. For a number of years past he has been in poor health yet Hanover people and many in South Grey will regret his passing. He is survived by his wife and a son and aughter, both at home. Beâ€" sides these as chief mourners, a brother, Mr F.S. Mearns, Toronto, will also mourn.
