Many meR when they reach the| four-score mark realize that their/ days of labor are at an éund, but not so with John Deare, Verona. Re- cently when a representative of the! Whig was at Hartington he found Mr. Deare, who is in his eighty- fourth year, busy shovelling back feldspar in a freight car which was standing on the C.P.R. siding. Mr: Deare was lor many years a farmer, but his son took over the work on the farm and he went-to live in Verona. He claims that he is feeling in the best of health, and is able to do six days work each week. To show how active Mr. Deare is, if it should, so happen that he misses the train which takes him from Hart- ington to Verona each evening, it is nothing for him to walk the four wiles. -------------- OBITUARY | In the death of Sister M. Imelda, who died at the Mother Howse, Wed- nesday evening, July 7th, at 8.30 o'clock, the Sisters of Charity, King- ston, have lost one of their devoted young members. Sister M. Imelda was the daughter of the late Thomas Murphy of Nap- anee, Of the large family of ten chil- dren, six survive, one sister, Sister M. Perpetua was in attendance at her deat. The déceased was educated in the schools of her native town. In the year 1911, having ' completed her high school course and feeling an attraction for the religious life, she sought for and obtained admission into the Novitiate of the Order and after spending the usual time of pro- bation and preparation, pronounced her religious vows, January 165th, 1914. Next, securing the advantage of a Normal training, she began her Hfe work of teaching which ended only too soon. She taught ten years in the Separate Schools of Chéster- ville, Brockville and Prescott very successfully. Her labors ever marked by fidelity and zeal were sweetly tem pered by gentleness and sympathetic charity which won for her the confi- dence of her pupils. Ever kind, cour- teous and self-forgetful, during her illness those beautiful qualities were clearly manifest. The funeral will be held on Satur: day morning. His Grace, ( Most Rev- erend M. J. Spratt, will officiate at a Solemn Requiem Mass at 8 o'clock for the eternal repose of her soul, after which he remains will be con- fined to their last resting place in St. Mary's cemetery. I wish I might follow that soul so white, As it passes the spires and mountain heights, Pushes the fleecy clouds away, And enters the whiteness of Heaven to-day. | MILITARY ORDERS 'The District Orders issued by Ma- jor-General J.

Dr, Pringle, oA tas er GET RID OF SENATE SAYS MISS MACPHAIL She Warns Canadians Against Sustaining Decision of Lord Byng. Orangeville, July 8.--The fifth an- nual picnic of Dufferin County U.F. O. was held yesterday afternoon and evening in Frank Turner's grove, Camilla, "six miles north-of here. Over 1,000 cars from all parts of On- tario were parked on the grounds, the attendance estimated at close to 5,000. Charles A. Ferris, president of Dufferin County U.F.O., acted as chairman. "Though small in numbers, we found ourselves with the balance of power," said Miss Agnes Macphafl, U.F.0. ex-M.P. for Southedst Grey. "Overtures had been made by both parties. As the Liberal offer was the most to our liking, we accepted their proposal, made on a strictly legislative basis. It was a co-opera- tive plan. The 117 Conservatives voted together solidly, as did the Liberals. The Progressives were the only ones to differ in their voting. They thought honestly and voted as they liked. No matter which way we voted, we were always wrong. If we voted with one side, we were wrong, according to the other side. If we split in our vote, every one said We were wrong. "The Customs report proved to be a snag. Montreal is no worse than any other place. Bisaillon is the worst rascal in Canada to-day. Several bills had been passed by the House, only to be rent asunder by the Senate. We've got to get rid of the Senate. Don't appoint men any more, and let the present ones die off, as they dle off quickly. I up hold Mackenzie King's resignation, but think he made an unwise move to go to the country on the Customs probe. "Mr, Meighen formed a shadow government by having seven men in his Cabinet. Think of it. Some of these men are holding fiverdifferent offices. When the vote of supply came up, we didn't dare vote your money into their hands until we were sure it was a legal government. Mr. Meighen never made an intelligent effort to ascertain if he had the con- fidence of the House. "If you sustain the decision of Governor-General Byng, then we in Canada say we like being a Crown colony. I've come to the placé where I care very little about the thing. It is time a new system of government was formed, so the business of the country could be carried on in a busi- nesslike manner. Oshawa took a holiday to.come to Ottawa. I don't like to see any industry £5 on the rocks. But they will not run Can- ada." 4 PASTOR-MAYOR Father Frank A. Seifert, pastor of St. Frederick's Catholic Church in Daggett, Mich.,, has been elected mayor of the town--the first clergy- man in the state to hold such an' office. There were only three dis- senting votes. He has been a chap- {ain In Michigan prisons, and served as a captain, overseas, with the Am- erican army in 1918.
