Probibition swept the country, All three are possibly a move in the right direction, as politics in B. C, rets were ten. e pretty rotten. I1ow Geo. P. Graham predicted that a general election would be brought on Weide of a year. What ie wrong with the man who Boorned anyone who would mention an election in wartime? Does he think now ie a opportune time for tine Laurier ed. ministration to get into power? The Guide and Liberalism] The Grain [bowers' Guide Bays that the report of the National Liberal Ad• vieory Cgmmittee meeting, appearing it1The Canadian Liberal Monthly, is "about as fine sounding a line of poli- tical bunk as we have seen for some time." The Guide intimates that the Liberal leader: cannot befool the Western farmers any longer. For the sake of the country it is to be hoped that this is an accurate statement. Even in the East the Opposition relies chiefly upon a ceaseless campaign of falsehoodo, insinuation and slander against Ministers, who in presence of the Great War have so conducted the affairs of the Dominion as immensely to enhance its standing in the World's eyes. Making a Kick There are Conservatives at present who are kicking, stating that they will not vote for the party as long as Hon. Mr. Ilearet is premier. They object to his temperence policy. We want to Bay to them that their atti- tude toward their leader is not'show- ing a proper spirit. They need not expect anything from a Liberal gov- ernment but prohibition. Liberate are not wanting to profit at the ex. pence of Hon. Mr. Hearst on the tem- perance policy. We believe it is the best thing for Ontario, and should any liberal government or member at- tempt to hedge on this question they would find a large section of the party would renounce their Liberal !earnings for their temperance principals. Mor- ally Mr. Hearst is right. If that is the case why throw him down?--Kincar. dine Reporter, tLib.), Looks for Results Els Lordship the Biehop of Toronto made the following etatement at the evening service in the cathedral on Sunday: "As I had not an opportunity this morning, I wish to say on this hietorio day in regard to the new and untried epoch upon which we have entered as a province that I thank God for the patriotism, the pluck of workers, and the spirit of self•saer'ifice on the part of all, which have made it possible to try out a total abstinence measure during the war and the period a re- construction immediately thereafter. "If the drink evil is, as we believe it is. the most fruitful cause of crime, disease and poverty, then this action by the Government must result in the lessening of this trio of evils, and the consequent betterment of the com- munity life. I venture to predict that the evils complained of in the past, as the product of the drink habit, will be reducedmoet appreciably by abolish- ing the sources of temptation and sup, ply; and the gratifying results of the war measure shall be the desire to continue conditions under which we shall enjoy the betterment expected by this Act. Let us all do our part to help those who are striving to discov- er a satisfactory substitute for the sa- loon, which shall help to make perma- nent the new conditions which have grown out of voluntary desires of the people expreseed in their strongest way of expression, and upon which we have entered to -day.

Letters from you are like roses in June, sending my love to all at home, From Your loving brother WILL. An O'er True Tale The following comes to us from the columns of a religious exchange, which calls it an o'er true rale, and prints it as an awful warning! We know that it is true, it declares, because it is printed in a newspaper, and, besides, we ourselves know people who would rather borrow a paper than subscribe for one; and if these two facts are not a guarantee of veracity, we'dlike to know what would be! The story is as follows: "Once upon a time a man who was too economical to take a paper, sent his little boy to borrow the copy taken by' his neighbour, In his haste, the boy ran over a four -dollar stand of bees, and in ten minutes looked like a watery summer Squash. His cries reached his father, who ran to his assistance, and, failing to see a barbwire fence, ran into it, breaking it down, cutting a handful of flesh from his anatomy and ruining a five dollar pair of pants. The old cow took advantage of the gap in the fence, got into the cornfield and killed herself eating green oorn. Hear- ing the racket, his wife ran, upsetting a four gallon churn full of rich cream into a basket of kittens, drowning the whole 'flock'. In her hurry she drop. ped a seven -dollar set of teeth. The baby, left alone, crawled through the spilled milk into the parlor and ruined a twenty -dollar carpet. During the excitement the oldest daughter ran away with the hired man, the calves got out and the dog broke up eleven setting hens. Moral --Subscribe for our paper, LETTER OF THANKS Camp Borden, Sept. 10, 1016, Editor of the Advance, Wingham, Ont.

MEETING Sir Adam to be Consulted Re Salo of Rails On Satirda afternoon, as represen. tatives of Ashileld and other municl- palittes interested in the West Shore Railway were In Goderioh in connect- ion with the bridge case before Judge. Dickson, a meeting was held to die- euse neattere in connection with the railway, at which there were present: 0, A. Reid, 1I, E. Hodgene, Thos. Wallis, J, 0. Laithwaite and O. A, Nairn, of Goderieh; J. P, Dalton, Thou, Stothere, Chas. Stewart, T. 3, Rich- ardson, Sas, Hackett and M. Culbert, Aehfield; J, J. Hunter and W. Hunter (Reeve), Riueardine, and J, N. Wilk- inson, Reeve of Huron Township, Some of the gentlemen present thought it would be advisable to sell the mile of the West Shore railway, as they are only deteriorating through time and new rails could be purchased later when the road is gone on with. As Sir Adam Beck's advice has always been not to sell, it was dedided to consult him, and the following resol- ution was carried:. Moped by J. 3, hunter, seconded by 0, A, Nairn, that the representatives of the municipalities present instruct Mr. H. E. Hodgene to communicate with Sir Adam Beck as to the advisa- bility of receiving and entertaining an offer for the sale of the rails, etc., of the Ontario Weet Shore Railway, and that he secure whatever infor- mation he deems advisable in the beet interest of the municipalities, acid imfortuation to he laid before the comtni;tto at some future time, Mount Maitland The head gardener at 1VIount Maitland has resigned to accept a more renumer- ative position. Miss Fannie Taylor, late of Winnipeg, paid a short visit to her old friend Mrs. Benjamen Leary of Wingham, Mrs. Leary and Miss Taylor are friends of over 40 years ago. • Tenders are out for an "Expert Gard- ener') for River View, Mount Maitland, one who thoroughly understands training vines and trellis work. The farmers around'" here are all through harvesting. Threshing is in full swing, so they have ail the glare of a harvest home. I have heard the gardener at Mount Maitland lost his job or was asked to resign, and the reason given was, there were too many boquets given to lady friends. Londesboro Mrs. Wm. Ross spent a few days in London last week with her mother who is very low in the hospital there. Mrs. Adams has been in the hospital about 15 weeks and has underwent serious oper- ations in that time for her back which broke out in a curious large sore and which seems impossible to heal, Latest reports say that very slight hope is held for her recovery, Mr, and Mrs. Thos. Fairservice of Londesboro, and Mr. and Mrs, Will Campbell of Dungannon, motored to Bay- field on Sunday. School No, 11 closed on Monday of this week owing to 3 cases of supposed infantile paralysis which broke out a few weeks ago among the Indians who were camped on a farm while pulling flax here. Mr. and Mrs, Charles Parsons of Har - lock, spent Tuesday of last week here. • Miss Sarah and Will Caldwell attended the fair at London on Tuesday. We are pleased to learn that Mr. George Knox who underwent an operation in St. Joseph's Hospital, London, is doing nicely. Mr. and Mrs, John Taylor visited at Sam Creighton's on Sunday last. COLORS OF THE ONE ONE ONE The following poem was written for the l.11th battalion by Miss Mae Cantelon, daughter of Mr. and Mre. R. J. Cantelon of Wingham, The thirty.firet of August will be al- ways kept in view, For we then presented colors to the boys from Waterloo; They are going soon to leave us, with the Huns to take a chance, In thatfar-off, lonely•country, ktiown las "Somewhere in France"" With thoughtful hearts we gave theta for we knew how muck it meant '1'o men who for a noble cause, to foreign shores are tent, Perhaps amidst the battle, ere the victory has been gained, Some hero with his life blood, those banners will have stained. But there's a thought that thrills us as the colors wave above The heads of all those soldier boys, whom We so dearly !eve; We know no one can ever say when fighting all is done, There ever was a shirker in the One, One, One. We pray that very, very soon, you will all come marching back, And O'er your heads may there stilt wave this same Old Union Jack. In Union there is strength", keep that motto waving high, Then take God with you always and the enemy defy. Horse Pound at Ethel The horse ana buggy which was stolefi from the Baptist church shed here aeverat days ago was traced to Ethel, and upon investigation it was found that the guilty was a boy 'of about 12 years of ago belonging to W1nShalw, but hie name its withheld, TUB WING AM ADVANO YOU, TOO, WILL POINT WITH PRIDE to a box of our delicious confection.

A. MILLER The Popular Restaurant Dry Ontario This week sees a prohibition Ont- ario for the first time since the white men brought firewater to the Indians. It comes as a war measure, but if the experience, taking the Province as a Whole, is the same as in municipalities Where local option has been tried, there is little danger of the Province going back ou a post-war vote.

Frank McLean (Successor to W. A. Campbell) BOOze IN LADY'S BEDROOM County Constables Make Haul in Sea. forth -Fought for Booze. County Constables, working under the direction of the County Temper- ance Association, raided the Queen's Hotel at Seaforth recently and recur• ed an autoload of "booze," When the constables entered the hotel they started a systematic search, and their suspicions were finally centred on a room occupied by the proprietor's wife, Mrs, Thos. Stevens, but the two daughters objected strenu- ously toa search of this room owing, as they claimed, to the serious illness of their eir mo he h mother, Constable Peliow, however, aseured the ladies that be would not disturb the invalid, stating that he just want- ed to look through the room, and an entrance was finally allowed, which reeulted in the finding of a 10 gallon keg of whiskey and a considerable quantity of bottles. Pellow states that the liquor was found in the closet carefully covered over with quilts, and that before he was able to get possession of the "booze" he bad a free-for-all scuffle with the daughters and the mother also, who had by this time gained seal fiolent strength to take part in the proeeedinge. LETTER TO CGL. COMBS Camp Borden, Ont., Sept. lath, 1010, Lt.,Col, Combe, 0. C. 161st Battalion, Camp Bordeu, Ont• Dear Sir: I feel constrained to say a word of praise regarding the conduct of your battalion while they have been on our trains for week -end leave or other- wise. I think I can safely say with- out danger of being suspected of undue flattery that the l61st Battalion has conducted itself at all times in such a manner thatit could not be considered otherwise than highly creditable, They have respect for the Officers, for their Battalion,and for them- selves, and this bas taught others to respect them. I am sure that such conduct will 'bring its own reward. The way in which they got on and off trains puts them in a class by them- selves. Yours truly, (Signed) R. W. Thom, General Agent.

Let not our hearts with envy burn, Nor greed for gold degrade. This we can do for Canada And labor unafraid. What can we do for Canada To guide her ship of state In this the hour of freedom's peril, When foemen lis in wait? For Britain's cause we must unfurl Our flag and trust her fate.

(GAVE FALSE CERTIFICATES Investigations by the assistant dir- ector of medical cervices at Camp Bor. den, has disclosed the fact that a prom inent physician in a leading Western Ontario town has been aiding soldiers to overstay their furloughs by render' ing false health certificates to them. A soldier by telling a sad tale and on payment of a dollar or two, would be given a certificate stating that he was likely to be incapable for a few days, as he was suffering from some ailment which was in reality imaginary. The medical authorities sent out a test case, and the physician swallowed the bait it is said. A soldier who bad previously been examined at camp and found without the least sign of throat trouble, on application and the payment of one dollar, was given a certificate stating that he was un- fit for service for a tew days, es he was suffering from tonsilitie. On re- turning to camp the soldier Was again examined and found still perfectly healthy. The authorities have placed the mat- ter' in the hands of the council of phys- icians and surgeons, who may suspend his license. This practice has been in many districts, and the practitioner is nob an isolated offender, but it is hoped in g anexample of t h e by 'maks t i roan fY1? that it will prove to be a warning for the others. ° Guelph Mercury foolish n says:-- nye nate Snooze is running for A n named n0 e u office in an American town. gHe's wrong.
