WiNQLIAM; ONT., THIURSDAY, MARCH 16th, 1916 THE MYSTERIOUS MISS DOLLAR CAPTURED tittattre Pos'aibly the most interesting thing in Wingham on Thursday last, Dol- lar Day, was the capture of the Mysterious Miss Dollar. The above is a photo taken immediately after the capture of Miss Dollar whose part was exceedingly well taken by Mies Laura Ainsley. In the auto are Mies Ansley and Miss Bertha McKay, the winner of the reward. Mr. A. H. Wilford, president of the Busi- ness Men's Association, is standing by the side of the car. There will be for some time several good stories told of the 'capture of Mims Dotter. One man stopped' Miss Ansley in the morning and said, holding THE ADVANCE in his hand "If you looked anything like that picture I'd cap. tare you." Aunther lady was busy most of the day along with Mise Ansley looking for the+ Mysterinus Miss Dollar. Others were talking to Miss Ansley and an issue of Tem AnvSNCIi tying beside them ready to accost any possible mysterious person who carne their way. while some accosted the right person ' r. i an in last week's but worded their phrase wrongly, The picture which we r w issue is said 10 ht, responsible for r.he capture, BUSINESS MEN MEET Purpose Re -organization and Amalga- *nation with Board of Trade. The Business Men's Association met in the town hall on Friday evening to elects fBcsea and square up accounts re Dotter. Day. The officers of last year were re-elected. Pees. A. Be Wilford suggested that the Assoria. tion should meet each month. The seine opinion was expressed by W. J. Greer and ethers and also that then should amalgamate with the Board of Trade, thus enabling them to vent to gcthUi' for the good and welfare pf oh, -own. Final arrangrmenrs have sinus h -en made and the Bard tit Trade and t he Business Men's Ass'ci- ation will bold a meeting some night stinn. This is a step in the right direr - tion and we trust that some time in the near future there will be no idle factories in Wingham. There have been several prospects in sight which did not materialize most likely be- cause no one in particular made it their business to go after them.

I wrote you a letter a few days ago. It was full of adventures, but 1 wasn't sure that It would go through eel I didn't post it, I may take a notion to send it through vet. Well the weather has been much finer lately We have our trenebea nretty well fixed nn new. so every- thing is More pleasant. The °Prmane mush he getting wild in Canada acenrding to tbepapers. If they keep on burning down buildings and blow- ing up "ridges Sir Sam will need his army at home. They have been very active nn this front this Iasi week, They have been wing liquid fire and gas and throw coal boxes, whizz•bungs, shrapnel, but they never aecompliah much, this line is too strong for them now, I believe their line is pretty strong too, but it won't be up to much when our artillery gets through with them. 1 saw where K. of K. said if they would let him loose a million men he would finish the war in three months. I believe he is right, and 'it seems to me to be the best thing to do, but it's hard for the people to think of losing so many men. It is going to take a few years to wear them out. and I don't think we can ever do it, so the quickest way is to go right into them, and drive them out of it. Our airmen seem to be doing lots of dam- age these days. We see lots of them going over every day. The Germans t urn their guns on them, but they offer a difficult target, and they very sel- dom hit one, and it means -a great waste of ammunition. They often send some of their" areoplanes out to meet ours. Then there is a battle in the air, which nearly always endo in a German machine falling to the ground, or else they get so badly damaged that they beat it back again. Well they have started to give our battal inn a pass over to England for a few days. They can only send a few away each week so I can't say when my time will come. I received Cecil's parcel and the mouth organ all right. and was very pleased to got them. I will be glad when your parcel gets here. file good things you have put in it makes my mouth water. The tamers who are left here are plowing as fest as the can.Some of them are only smile and a half from the trench- es; they have a very fine stretteh of land around here, there isn't" a stone on it, and it is the same kind o8 sandy clay as far down as you like to dig. There certainly must be a lot of men in khaki over there now, and fee/ men left to work, but I guess they Will need them all before we are finished. That is a fine stock you have; I am longing for a pair of horses to drive. I think I will see my 0, 0. and ask him if I can transfer into some unit where I can get a horse to look after. I al- ways had a great fancy for Judy, and I used to take a great intereet in her, and paid the beet attention to her care and comfort. You never knew how sorry I wan, the day your father took her nut of the gate for the last time. If I ever see her again I will be tempt- ed to buy her. I think she would cared n tell k owme.I will you i never for any other horse your father got afterward, although be had some that everyone talked about, and drew the attention of everyone when we drove down street. I was glad you got rid at Peter he was a good pony alright, but had seen his beet days, and I think you made out all right although 1' never saw the other borne.. Well I guess 1 had better quit, or else I will pe thinking there is n0 ware on, and I am back in Canada trading horses. So hoping to see you all soon I will say good-bye. CLARA MAO LoCli3it,IDGE.
