WHAT PRICE GLORY?â€"If <+by e miracle of prevision the conâ€" testants of previous wars (and there are some in this post) could have seen the scientific slaughter that attended the last great war, then would there have been no war, with its dreadful aftermath of poverty and poignant suffering among the survivors. Even in the last few months‘ there have been two cases in Timmins of veterâ€" ans who have through mental trouble to be admitted to hospital for treatâ€" ment. It is generally recognized by the medical profession that the unâ€" precedented â€" mental _ and â€" physical strain of the last war will be felt more as age advances. Even the trustees of the Canteen fund for the province of Ontario insert in their proposed methods of extending relief the folâ€" lowing paragraph, in part: *‘ deâ€" sire to conserve the capital is inspired by the belief that as the years pass by, men who took: their discharge from the service and returned to private CCC C C Che Canabianr Hegiton in Cimmins Quaker FULâ€" O â€" PEP CHICK STARTER The pure, fresh oatmeal of Quaker Fulâ€"Oâ€" Pep Chick Starter is just the thing for the tender digestive tracts of baby chicks.

One of our honorary members (who shall be nameless) generously bought a ticket for the Vimy Banquet and handed it to me for disposal to a needy veteran. _ Remembering thc good work of **‘Freddie‘"‘ reterred to previously, I passed the buck, or From ‘W. A. Devine, the tireless secretary of the entertainment comâ€" mittee, comes the following communiâ€" cation re the Vimy Banquet: ‘‘The principal spesker for the Vimy Banâ€" quet to ibe held omm April 9th, in the 1.0.0.F. Hall, Timmins, at 8 p.m., will be Capt. C. _P. Gilman, M.C., (seven years‘ Service Bureau W ork in connection with pensions, ete). Capt. Gilman won his commission in the field, and was severely wounded durâ€" ing the war and was in the Vimy batâ€" tle. He will give us a straight talk on what the legion is doing for the exâ€"service man. â€" No legionnaire or returned soldier or those interested in the problems of soldier settlement should miss the Vimy Banquet. _A splendid programme of artists has been arranged, and in case it may cause more to come the Entertainâ€" ment Comumittee wishes it to be known that there will only be the one adâ€" dress on the programme and the chairman‘s remarks. In other words, By now the notices of the legion‘s April events should be in the hands of all mem‘bers, and I earnestly appeal to all legionnaires to attend all the meetings, etce., for in so doing they will naturally help the legion. With the notices there wasvâ€"enclosed an apâ€" plication formâ€"enough said ! A truly remarkable piece of work in the cause of charity has been acâ€" complished through the kindly efâ€" forts of Mr. F. J. Hornby, the popuâ€" lar secretaryâ€"treasurer of the Timâ€" mins Citizens‘ Band; unfortunately I am at present not allowed to disclose the facts, but hope to be able to do so next week. . The Provincial Council of Quebec have requested me not to pubâ€" lish this until the «cheque is received. But I would say that Mr.F. J. Hornâ€" by handled this matter in praiseâ€" worthy manner, as will ‘be clearly seen next week. The card of thanks that appeared last week in the Poreupine Advance addressed to the Ladies® Auxiliary of the Canadian Legion is silent but conâ€" vincing witness to the good work beâ€" ing done by this useful auxiliary, and one ‘hopes that all members will loyalâ€" ly support our 1st viceâ€"president, Mr. Austin E. Neame, in enlarging numerâ€" ically the Ladies‘ Auxiliary in this ecamp, and so proportionately enlarge their capacity to carry on their good work. â€" All ladies are eligible, as witâ€" ness the following extract from the Constitution:â€"‘‘ (e) _ Women â€" Memâ€" bers. â€" The formation of women‘s auxiliaries is permissible, under the control of branches of the legion, and charters may be granted to such auxiâ€" liaries.

The legion in Timmins have received many favours from the aforesaid honorary member, so much so in fact that I am trying to find out how to tack on ‘‘Mac‘‘ to my nameâ€"but MacTom doesn‘t sound right, someâ€" how. 1 am pleased to report that two of our honorary members, namely Mr. (i. A. Macdonald and Mr. Robert E. Dye, will ibe with us on April 9th, at the Vimy Banquet. Am hoping and expecting a favourable reply from our mayor and other honorary members. So often do my duties as secretary carry my hmpmg feet to the office of the president, Dr. 8. R. Harrison, that almost am I afraid to venture in his presence. Were it not for the unfailing courtesy ever shown to me, and for the beneficial advice and guiâ€" dance always willingly given me for the conduct of the legion‘s affairs, one would hesitate to take up so much of his valuable time. More than ever am I convinced that much of the sueâ€" **Well, you see,"‘‘ explained the farâ€" mer, ‘‘some cows is born without horns and never has any, and others shed theirs, and some we dehorn, and some breeds ain‘t supposed to have horns at all.

In this he was backed up by Mr. R. Whorley, who has had a long experience and who felt confident that the proposition could ‘be put through if all the Horâ€" ticultural Societiee would get toâ€" Lecturer on Horticulture Has Great Visions of the Great Future of the North Country. "The lecture was illustrated by many beautiful lantern slides which showed gardens in various parts of the country in all their beauty. Every phase of the culture of flowers was covered and the members of the Horâ€" ticultural Society who were present cained a more thorough knowlege of plants and their habits than many of them ever had before. No, no birthd this week. If y ask the vendor. ‘*«Mr. Moore has great visions for the future of the North. He venâ€" tured the forecast that within fifteen years there would be a vast playâ€" zround on the shores of James Bay, which would prove the favorite sumâ€" mer resort of the province. Both the railway and the highway would be continued through, he sald and the tourists from the south would come in millions. There was a danger that this might fall into the hands of outâ€" siders, he said, and the people of Ontario should get busy and see that it was held ifor the province. ‘*Mr. Moore devoted the greater part of his address to the culture of flowers suitable to this section of the country, giving lists of many favorâ€" ites, both old and new, and explaining how they should be attended to. The majority of them, he said, should be started indoors and later transplanted on account of the shorter season here. as compared with Southern Ontario. By this means the season of bloom ‘an be extended by several weeks and it pays well for the extra trouble. Perhaps more time was devoted to the care and culture of dabhlias than to any other variety, and the speaker answered many questions by the audâ€" ience and gave a fund of very valuâ€" able information. In a very interesting report of an address at Haileybury by Mr. Henry J. Moore, lecturer on horticulture, The Haileyburian last week says :â€" ‘*Only about twenty people were present in the Uniteéd Church baseâ€" ment last night to hear the lecture on horticulture given by Henry J. Moore, of the Department of Agriculture, when he visited Hairleybury between stops at Cochrane, Englehart and New Liskeard on his tour of the North. His talk was devoted to the iculture of annuals, and was very interesting to all those who grow flowers. rthdays or anmversaries If you don‘t believe me, â€"Exchange _ P 0; papapip Py i i en ?ff..ff.:??u}ff? faffff.?v?f?ffff?ézz What Mrs. Harris said to Betsy ‘Now it can be told !
