THE LUSITANiA ANNIVERSARY Poet Bill, on the anniversary of the sinking of the Lusitania, has dedicat- ed an ode to the occurrence, just to make the Americans feel badly. It is a pathetic thing, and worthy of great frame. This poem is composed by Bill, The London Advertiser's poet from Wingham, and was copied and run in one of Ottawa's leading journals. Now that TUE ADVANCE is reprinting it doubtless The Advertiser will again see fit to use it. It Was The°Good Ship Lusitania. 'Tie sad we know to remember Just a year ago to -day, 'Twee the sinking of the Lueitania, While sailing on her way. She was in charge of Captain Kenossa, A man brave and true; Knew all about the water, And a good man to his crew. Little did he know what would happen When he put out of the Irish Sea, For the charge he had of women and men, A11 of which were in highest glee. But alas! all in a moment, while the ship was afloat, A. torpedo struck her starboard, Because it was Germany's gloat. The boats were manned in quickness of time. While victims were floundering in the ocean brine. With the sound of order end hissing steam, Mingled with the criee of those that did scream, . While the good ship she was tossing, Charles Vroman and Maggie Cline Were on the deck a -watching. Twelve hundred souls were theie aboard. Brave heroes Ate the world did afford, Did all they could to save, Also Hulbert and Vanderbilt, Which filled a watery grave. Americans were also there on the good ship Lueitania, And Wilson got after Germany in a funny manner. He sat down and wrote a note e Asking them why they Bank the boat. Germany says, what does it matter ? Four hundred and fifty souls they did save, But still there is no clue, Iu'spite of some victims that did rave, For they knew not what to do. And still boats go down in the deep, Torpedoed the same while the passen- gers sleep, By the German submarines. Also mines are laid By men who are afraid, As it is their duty, so it seems. But they say there is a day of reckon- ing, When the sea will give up its dead, And the kaiser will be suffering, And ashamed to hold up hie head, In causing such a manner, faking the lives of women and babes on the Lueitania, 1- - as - War Tax'on Tickets fs Ori Mat+ 15th the provincial regula- tions for a tax on patrons of amuse- ment places comes into force.

The fire evidently commenced in the chimney, and fanned by the high wind soon enveloped the whole structure. Mr. Schnarr was absent from home and Mrs. Schnarr was in the stable when the fire started. and it had gained considerable head -way before it was noticed. The general alarm was given on the phone and the neighbor's hurried to the fire, but were unable to rescue anything out of the burning building, Recently Theop Finnan of Wingham, removed what remained of one of `the old landmarks of that district, when he tore down the log house which was built by the late Edward Farley, the first settler in Wingham section. Mr. Farley went there in the spring of 1858 and settled near what afterwards became Ldwer Wingham,- He chopped down the first trees and made the first clearing and the log house which was torn down last week was built during the summer of 1858. Mr. Farley was an interesting character and many a good story is still told of his many pranks. Mr. John Ranforil of Clinton, who has just returned from a two 'aeeks' trip to the Northwest, gives the following story as told to him by a farmer: -He stated that the farmer had a field of wheat which he was unable to haul in before winter set in, owing to the extremely wet weather, and consequently the grain remained in in the field all, through the winter and the farmer thought it would only be gond for hog feed, but to his surprise it looked so well this spring that he decided to thresh it, which he did, and it yielded 38 bushels to the acre and graded No. 8.

Although blind and in her 80th year, having completely lost her sight over a year and a half ago, Mrs. M. C. Rey- nolds of Goderich, and mother of Sheriff Reynolds, has within the past 12 months knitted over 125 pairs of socks, for the soldiers at the front. She is able not only to knit the sock, but "turns the heel" as well without assistance, and is able to complete from two to three pairs a week. Mr. and Mrs. Robert rra'ser of Kincar- dine have received word that their son, Pte. Willie Fraser. who left there, was killed in action on May 1, Pte. Fraser was a young man of fine character. In a letter received from his chum, by his par= ants, the chum stated that Pte. Fraser in being carried from the battlefield wound- ed, asked that a halt be made that he might offer a prayer that his parents could bear their sorrow better if he was not spared. A new device for catching flies is being added to the equipment of a number of hotels in preparation for summer season. It consists of an electric motor which draws the flies by a strong current to a pipe, Molasses or moistened sugar is smeared on the edge to draw them to the vicinity. As the flies alight upon the pipe, a strong suction seizes them and draws them into a steel cage in the bottom of the pipe, This machine has demonstrated an ability to capture over a hundred flies a minute, Lieut. Cronin with Sergt. Ross of Walkerton, left in an auto Friday night about seven for Kincardine the sergeant driving. They were going to take charge of a number of soldiers returning after being away on leave for seeding. When about two miles out the fpr got into a rut and turned completely over in the ditch, lighting on Sergt. Ross and pinning hint to the ground. After some difficulty, the sergeant was released and brought to the hospital. While suffering from severe bruises. it is not thought his injuries are serious. WHEN IS A MAN DRUNK HURON OLD BOYS EXCURSION To the Editdr- How I wish that every one could read an article under the above head ing in the American magazine for April. As that is improbable, I will try to condense it for your readers. Scientific experts say that one little drink will set you back seven per cent in physical endurance and fifteen per cent in your ability to remember things. This is no temperance lecture. It is the findings of cold scientific accuracy and shows the moderate drinker that he does not need to make a fool of himself to get drunk. One glass of beer will make him drunk in the knee that he will be that mugh- less of a man than he was before in body or brain, We all want life and want it more abundantly, but science shows ns that alcohol in any form and even in small quantities lessens our life, our vitality and our efficiency. One of the first things the scientists found out when they commenced to measure drunkenness was that every man who drank alcoholic liquors was drunk, in degree, for two or three days afterwards. Now it may too much to ask the moderate drinker to believe that. • He thinks he has in- creased hie vitality, instead of lessen- ing it, but there is no getting over the ergograph or the hundreds of memory tests, The ergograph is. a little instru- ment that testa muscular strength and endurance, first without alcohol' for several days, and then with a glees, of wine after meals, for several days. These experiments were duplicated hundreds of times. It would require too much space to describe the other tests and the ma- chines used to secure accuracy. 1'be resykts prove that a man cannot write as fast or as accurately after one drink, and the strange part of it is that he thinks he is writing more rapidly. That has fooled many a man, The memory tests were interesting and instructive. These were carried on for two weeks without alcohol, and then for two weeks with alcohol, and the results showed, gleet, that memory power as weakened fifteen per cent; cnd that when alcohol as taken before breakfast, it required four tim- es as long to memorize a given task. Dr. Ridge, an Englith physiologist, carried out a serious of experiments on medical students, nurses and porters, to ascertain the effect, of liquor on eye; sight, with the startling result that the average man who bad taken the equivalent of a pint of beer had to ap• proacli twenty feet nearer to read the day before, and Viat the effeet1letters'that he bad read at thirty feet lasted from four to five bouts after drinking. When we consider how much de: pends in this awtul war to o i the vigor of body and clearness of brain of outt soldiers, and when we think that they are not only, permitted, but are actual. ly tempted to drink, that a few men may make Heaney, it shelve uti that a large number of people are stilt lgnor• *Mt of the true nature of this terrible pol6otl, R, A.r'aatt, M.i3,, Pt St The Huron Old Boys Association of Toronto has for several years been in the habit of running an annual ex- cursion to the county, thus giving former residents an opportunity to visit their old home, and many pleas- ant reunions have thus been enjoyed. Last year it was found inadvisable to ran an excursion, many being disap- pointed thereat. This year the execu- tive has decided to resume the excur• sion and though nothing definite is settled upon as to the date, it is intend- ed to run one on or about the fish of July, if arrangement can be made ac- cordingly. Formerly the excursion was run to Goderich and Kincardine jointly, the latter being to accomodate persons who had resided in the north- ern ptirt of the county. The destina- tion this year will be Goderich and Sarnia, the southern part of the coun- ty being better served in this way. It is anticipated that low rates will be secured to both points. Arrangements `will also be made so that those who wish to take a boat trip from Sarnia to Detroit -a delightful trip -will be able to do so for a small additional amount. The tickets Co Goderich will be good until Monday evening, and to Sarnia until Tuesday.
