It is with great gratitude that Mrs. Stewart acknowledges the socks and thanks the knitters this month. ` 1002 pairs came in response to the appeal made two weeks ago.

An gift was that of 10 pairs of s-ocks from Mrs. Campbell of Guthrie in which she had both spun and knitted the yarn.

A large parcel of towels, soap, note-pap- er, pencils, gum, etc., was sent for this packing by the Grenfel Khaki Circle; $1.25 came from |the Eden-vale W. I. for the post- tage fund. Crown Hill, Craig- burst, Churchill, Edgar, Eden- vale, Guthrie, Gilford, Holly, Le- froy, Mitchell Square, Ore Sta- tion, Shanty Bay, Stroud and the pupils of the B.C.I. and Ovenden `all helped Barrie and Allandale to make this goodly number of socks, 60,0 prs. are in order, a- waiting an Eastern move of the Battalion and the remainder are en route to the trenches, The lads in khaki have good `reason to be grateful to the young lad- iesof Barrie, for not only do they knit a great deal, but they `do much to raise money to pay ifor wool. The very successful Girls" Hockey Match, planned and carried out by the girls of the Soldiers Aid and Miss Stet- esbury, realized a profit of $53, which was given to Mrs. Stew- art, to help to pay for the wool in the 177th farewell gift socks. ,Only those in charge of work of this kind, can realize what a great assistance all this volun_ tary aid is. Once more then, thanks are given to the young ladies taking part in the match, to Mr. Hamlin for his kindness and courtesy, and to the Band of the 177th, which contributed so materially to the success of the evening. uuJ, J.VLbI.l.L>/l.l\l.l, tp.l..l.UU.

It is entirely new this season from beginning to end. New story, new scenery, costum- es and music, as well as some new, faces; but the principal characters which have made -the famous cartoons are retained as a matter of course. This offer- ing may `well be described as a continuous . succession of screams of laughter, a rat-` tling, sure, quick fire musical potpourri of the comical side of politics, with hits and misses timed to the minuteiandpgeared to the second, presented in three rallys and a punch. Some of the special features are: .The political parade with a "never- ending panorama of ludicrous situations and funny characters. FATHER'S Suffragette speech, which is funnier than any stump speech you have ever heard, Mother's new Parisian gowns and Father's odd political opin-' ions; Oswald. in the Bal Masque as a Ballet `Girl. These are all set to lingering and entrancing` melodies which are sweetly sung by a chorus of charming dam- sels, about whose beauty there can he no question.

Parker on March 10, just one year and six days after the passing away of his beloved partner, who had shared his joys and sorrows ';for a1mosti50 -years. Mr. Parker was born in the Township of 'VVest Gwillimbury in the year 1836. He was the that Township. His early.edu- cation was received in the pub- lic school of that place, from which he entered the Grammar School at 'Barrie, who had for its head master in those days Mr. Gore. Shortly afte_r reaching his majority, he settled upon the east lb -of lot 4, con. 10, Vespra, upon which he resided continu- ously until his demise. Among those who knew him best his sterling integrity, his broadviews which were the natural product of an exceptionally `well-inform- ed mind, were well recognized. ' Mr. Parker was a deep reader and student of history. His hospitality will long be. remem_ bered by a large circle of friends and acquaintances. He is sur- vived by a family of two sons, John H. and Charles W., both of this place, and two daughters, youngest and last surviving son of the late Thomas Parker of . Mrs. Albert Priest of ,Flos town- ship and Miss Jennie at home;; also two married sisters of the Northwest, Canada. His body was interred in Minesing Ceme- tery on Wednesday, March 14, when a large number of relativ_ _ es and friends from Essa, Innis- "til, Toronto J and Barrie, were present.
