MIDLAND THE SOURCE OF A GREAT CONCATENATION The concatenation which was held under the auspices of the Hoo-Hoo members of Mid- land, Ont., on June 30th, will be chronicled in the annals of the Order as a most successful and enjoyable affair. The arrangements were complete, and all who anticipated a pleasant time had the satisfaction of its realization.
