With exactly 18 shopping days to
go the Wingham, Community Cam
paign is beginning to arouse a real
widespread ' enthusiasm throughout
Wingharn and vicinity.
Thursday is Free Vote Day and
hundreds pf people registered at the
places of business of the merchants
sponsoring the Campaign, Great in
terest was manifested in this feature
and the contestants received a large
number of votes from their friends
who* registered for them. Grab bags
were also a feature of this day. Many
worth-while articles were picked up
at ridiculously low prices and also
gave some contestant a large number
of votes. The grab bags will be on
sale every Thuisday and you will be
well advised to try your luck on this
day.
Every day special values can be ob
tained in every store on which a
large number of extra votes may be
had. A visit to these stores will amp
ly repay you and you will be helping
someone to win that first prize.
Big votes are also given to new and
renewal subscriptions to the Advance-
Times. You can help your contestant
t6' win by renewing your subscription
during the Campaign.
Probably the most interesting feat
ure of the Campaign is the collection
of various junk and scrap-iron such
as old tires, tubes, batteries, radiators,
newspapers, iron and steel, and other
metals. The junk headquarters is at
the old Wingharn Rubber Works and
is open from 9 to 6 every week-day.
If you have any of these items that
you wish to get rid of, just phone
your favorite contestant and they will
be glad to come and pick it up. At
the conclusion of the Campaign the
junk is sold and the proceeds are put\
into the Merchants’ Expense Fund to
help defray the hfeavy cost of the
Campaign.
Trade Cards are now in general use
and are .one of the biggest factors in
winning the $300.00 cash prize. The
$5.00 card is good for 100,000 votes
and 20,000 are given for the $2,00
card, when the card is paid for and
signed in the store, This card is then
as good as cash at that particular
store and good until the last cent of
value is used up.
The value of the prize list is in ex
cess of $850.00 and are now on dis
play at Campaign Headquarters and
the store next Foxtdn’s Dairy with
the natural exception of the $300.00
and the public are cordially invited
to see these beautiful prizes.
The merchants sponsoring
campaign are as follows:
Foxton’s Dairy
Greer’s Shoe Store
R, A. Currie, Furniture
Geo. Williams, Jeweller
Isard’s Ladies and Men’s Wear
A. M. Crawford, Garage

On Monday morning about 7.30,
Ray Seddon, nightwatchman at the
Western Foundry, discovered a fire
in the carpenter shop at the Foundry.
The firemen kept the fire from
spreading and quickly had it under
control. The carpenter shop is of
steel construction 24x24 feet and the
interior of the building was badly
burned and the machinery inside des
troyed. The machinery consisted of a
rip saw, circular saw, motor and var
ious other carpenter tools, A hole
was also burned in the roof. Mr. Sed
don had been in the building about
half an hour previously to discovering
the fire and all was well,
thought that defective wiring was
cause of the fire which broke
above the motor.
On Tuesday morning about
o’clock the firemen had another
