Monday, Thanksgiving Day, ought to be more to each one of us than a mere public holiday, It ought to be of deep and unfeigned thankfulness. Perhaps in eome respects fortune has not been so generous this year as in former ones, yet we have much to be thankful for, Our lot has not been so bad, but it might have been worse, Our lives have been spared, and if we have lost loved onus or friends, it may be that heaven is the richer, If our pocketbooks and our granaries are not so full its usual, there are lessons in economy to learn, which may be a lasting benefit to. us. So long as we enjoy good health we have innumer- able reasons for being thankful, for thereby the things we need we may supply. So, whatever our posi- tion, let us join in the words of the hymn: Lord of the Harvest! Thee we hail; Thine ancient promise doth not fail; The varying seasons haste their round, With goodness all our years are crowned; Our tbanks we pay This holy day; Oh, let our hearts in tune be found 1 THE VALLEY OF VIRGINIA The valley of Virginia is fair enough for me, The valley of Virginia in the Dixie land of Lee, Its roses are so lovely, and living roses, there Walk in the Dixie gardens with the red rose in their hair, The valley of Virginia, Where Shenandoah sings, And days go by in beauty Of the sunlight on their wings! The valley of Virginia is good enough to know in all the changing seasons from the blossoms to the snow; But when its springtimeyonder on the blue Virginia hills, The Valley of Virginia is a dream that lifts and thrills, The valley of Virginia, fn the midst of that sweet song Where the lovely Shenandoah 'Twist the blue hills rolls along. The valley of Virginia is the Dixie land of Lee Is like a land of Eden when the blow some dance in glee; The wheat fields crown and deck, and adorn the dewy morn In green and georgeous phalanx march the captains of the corn. The valley of Virginia, That takes us back in dream Along the Shenandoah "When the morn of Maytime gleam, They valley of Virginia, and the blue hills where it lies Beneath the morning splendor of the bright blue springtime skies; That valleys of the shadows where °still march in shapes of"gray The boys of Marster Robert from the dreams of yesterday. The valley of Virginia, Where down the dwindling years The Shenandoah singeth .And the heart forgets the tears. --The l"3entztown Bard. In the boxes of goode for the front, chipped by the Wetnen'e Patriotic League, of Teeswater, they have al- ways placed scrapbooks made by the young ladies of the town. The follow- ing is a letter of thanks from a soldier in France to a young woman inthat town, who bas made a scrapbook, First, I must ask you to excuse the pencil and any dirt that may get on this paper while writing to you, to thank you for sending a scrapbook to ue. We get a number of scrapbooks here and they make nice, light reading for all of us, no matter if on duty or otl°. Your remark ou "the girl we left behind us," hit most of us, even though souse try to make out it is nothing to them, but as a rule you can find the same lad with a photo in his hat, and at the poet office every day. Your picture of"when we were kids"is also good, and reminds ue of birthdays shall I say, long ago, or a few years back. Tho picture of October t3let re- calls to one's mind the night when girls made candy and the boys went out to put their neighbor's gates on the top of houses. I came here from Calgary last April. Had a short stay of three weeks' in England, then'a trip through France to this place that we are still at, Both England and this country are very pretty, Everything seems so old, but give me the land of the maple every time, I am sure none of us would ever want to live in this country after such a good home and freedom in Canada. We got over here in time to take part in the last battle of Ypres, and saw some sights that will ever be before our eyes, some sad, some pretty, such as the 11 eh of our guns at night and the star shells bursting, and then the shells from the Uermans to us. .fb would make a grand picture, but, like the mountains at my home, they cannot be painted. We have done our time at the front and are now back for a rest, We are a few miles from the firing line, but we can hear the guys night and day continuously. We have aeroplanes over us all the time. At one time we thought them a great sight, now we don't trouble to look at them, unless there is a fight between Fritz and our planes, and in the fights in the air we are able to hold our own.

A number who has been to some of the other exhibitions this year claimed it far surpassed any they had seen. The homemade baking was ex- tra fine and showed clearly that the ladies in this section have not lost the art of baking bread. The vegetables were also very good, but the fruit was not up to other years, £he Blyth band furnished some excellent select- ions of music and they also did ex- ceedingly well on Wednesday, when they interspersed the afternoon with some good music. The crowd started to come in short- ly after dinner on Wednesday from far and near. The outside exhibit was good in most lines, especially the poultry and horses. The horse races were very keenly contested and as the track was in first-class condition great interest was taken in these events, In the evening a splendid concert was put on, there being a large attend- ance, who appreciated the entertain- ment very much, Protect Alfalfa Hay. Alfalfa bay should not be left unpro- 'ected from rains, as is' now the prac- tice ou many farms, according to Ralph [fenny, assistant professor in agron- nny in the Kansas State Agricultural chase. "Well cured alfalfa hay is well worth the extra est)eese involved in protec- tion from exposure to rain and unfa- vorable weather," says Mr. Kenny. 'Such hay will command a high price an the market if sold and will all be in a salable condition. Likewise if fed on the farm it will have more nutritive value 'than if exposed to all kinds of weather. "Cbeap sheds for storing alfalfa may be constructed from poles twenty feet long set into the ground and supporting .1 pitched roof of corrugated steel or <oine prepared roofing. The sides need lnly be walled for the upper five to :even feet, thus preventing dashing alas from beating into the stored Lay." WHAT WE MAY EXPECT To the Editor: -- Judging from what has occurred in other places that have adopted Pro- hibition, we may reasonably expect the following results:-- Orime, especially in cities, will be ren duced three-fourths. All business with the exception of the liquor business will improve great- ly. There will be a very notable increase in the number of savings bank depos- its. Most of our jails and poorhouses will be vacant and useless. Many old accounts that have been written off as worthless will be paid. Drunkenness will be rarely seen and consequently many unhappy homes will be made happy and prosperous. About one-half of our policemen will not be needed, Taxes, especially in cities, will eith- er be greatly reduced or we will have more or better improvements. Many men who are now idle and useless will find jobs and hold them, Many who now live in rented houses will become property owners and lave in their own homes, There will be less child -labor and more children will be better educated .• ,3 have a better chance in life. Consumption and other diseases that are caused by weakened resisting pow- er will be reduced. Many saloonkeepers and bartenders will turn out to be good business men and respected citizens and thankful for the change. Asylums for the insane instead cf being over -crowded as they are now, will gradually reduce the number of inmates. Men will spend their money on nee- eseities for their own families instead of on luxuries for the saloon keepers family. Fewer young ,poen will be rejected as unfit to resist in the defence of their country in time of war, Men will grow taller ar}d stronger as they have in Norway, Not half as manytbabiee will die be- fore they are two years old. Houses of vice will become unknown. They cannot exist without plenty of booze, And the filthy diseases they breed will die out. Degeneracy which means dying out of the race may be expected to come and a better race grow up andinhabit this land. With better clothing a great many will attend Church and Sunday School who did not do so before.

Prohibition was here, He went to the tavern to purchase some ale, But when he got there the place was for sale. He went to the chop for a bottle of gin But when he got there he couldn't get in. Ile ordered some whiskey—for use scientific, They sent him wood spirits, the smell was terrific! He went to a Vet to prescribe for a calf; Some brandy would do—say a pint. • and a half. He found on returning, the Vet plc yed him false; The bottle contained only water and salts, He went to a doctor for rum for a boil, But Doc prescribed sulphur and sweet castor oil. He went to a druggist without a pre- scription, So be couldn't get liquor of any des- cription, Ile sought a blind pig as his only re- sort, But when it was raided he landed in court, He went to the farm out at Guelph for a rest; He thought when released, prohibiton was best, He's glad to be freed from King Alco- hol's power, So now he goes thirsty or drinks lemon sour. • No Police Court There was no session of the police court to -day. everything being quiet and peaceful. The police find things exceedingly dull in all parts of the city, due to the absence of liquor. They say that not in many years has it been so quiet and orderly in the Italian die tricts in St. Pat's ward as it is now. A similar paragraph appears every few days in papers printed in every Ontario city. Prohibition ie doing its own good work in the homes of these men whose names appeared regularly in the .papers. Spend at Home During the past few weeks several mail bags of mail order catalogues have arrived in town, advertising fall and winter goods. The postage on each catalogue is six cents and thepap- er alone in them would be worth dol- lars. It must be a paying proposition for any company to spend such money advertising their goods and thus there must be a large amount of money from this district finding its way to Toronto and other cities. The money is lost to this district and goes to help build up other cities to the detriment of our own community.

Mr. Menzies of East Wawanosh was a caller at the Advance office last week.

Sometime ago, the Trustees of the Methodist church in town sold the lot east of the parsonage to W. H. Green, but conveyance had not been made. At a meeting held last week, the Board decided not to part with the lot, and Mr. Green kindly consented to the change. The old building now on the lot will be removed, and thus a good view of the new church can be had from John street, A road through this lot will also give easy access to the church sheds. The contract of remov- ing the old church to the rear of the lot, cutting it down to suitable height and fitting it up properly as a shed for teams, was let to W, H. Green. The congregation, will however, have to use the old church for some while yet. • Corrie Miss P.
