special demonstration care over the
Urand True* Lines in Western ant::
ario, This train will be in Wingham

neared by capable epeakere and interes-
ting moving pict res will be shown.
Two oomfortably-heated baggage
tars will be devoted to exhibits illustra-
ting ,selection, testing anci innprove-
tnont of eeed, identification and eradi-
cation of weeds, drainage, coil mole-
ture, growing of alfalfa, corn and.
potatoes; insect pests, plant diseases,
protection from lightning; dairying,
including milk testing; poultry raising,
feeding stuffs and their comparative
values at present prices; use of lime
on eons; vegetable growing, labor-
saving devices for the home, emall
models of sewage disposal and water -
supply systema, etc. Any person in-
terested in agriculture or the equip-
ment of the farm home should not fail
to visit the train. The exhitflts il-
luetrating the up-to-date methods
employed in all branches of Ontario
agriculture will be of a most helpful
and practicalnature, while bulletins
and leaflets on agricultural topica will
be distributed to interested visitors.
The .fact that' agriculture is really
the basic industry of the province is
being forcefully impressed upon .non-
procucers of food -stuffs. our legislators
and business and financiatinen in this
time of national crisis. The immediate
necessity of a larger food production
-especially of meats, dairy products,
poultry, eggs and vegetables -and the
large•national debt that is being in-
curred on account of the war, calls for
united force on the part of all directly
-or indirectly connected with agricul-
ture to increase production. This ie
trade necessary on account of present
need and to insnre against future
disaster,
Not only the farmers and their fam-
ilies:hut townspeople should find much
of value in the exhibits found on the
care, the addressee delivered and the
elereeitilerrir4fetributed. We hope to
induce both the farmers and the
townspeople to produce more poultry,
eggs and vegetables in 1917.
This 'demonstration will be given
in Lucknow on January 24th and In
, Ripley on the following day.

GREETINGS FROM "IIURUNS"
Men Guests of Officers at Christmas
Dinner
The Advance, Wingham:
Dear Mr. Editor;-
When it was announced to the
Battalion after Church Parade on
Christmas morning that dinner W9uld
be "served" at 11,50 --all officers to he
present -it goes without saying that
every man "sat up and took notice."
For, at that time, the men of the
Battalion were to be the guests of the
Officers at dinner. •
Soule dinner, believe me, and come
scene! Just try and imagine, if yon
can, Lieut. -Col. Combo, Major Bea-
man, Capt. VanStone, Major Shaw,
Capt. McTaggart and Capt. Town,
all armed with a carving -knife and
fork and struggling with a turkey'
and aome 500 hungry men waiting to
be served. For once the men gave
orders and , the officers were on
Parade, The officers who were nit
carving were flitting from table to
table with plates of turkey, etc, and
generous plates at that -and then -it
went from turkey to Xmas Pudding.
I wieh you home folks could have
stepped in and seen we sincere in
white smooke and aprons; Capt. Allen
at the dishwashing; the Chaplain dry-
ing. our Band playing or Pte. Cowell
coaxing from the piano some favourite
chorus such as "Pack all your troubles
in your old Kit Bag, etc." Those who
were not eating were singing and
serving at the same time.

{ The Western J?ouudry Co, under the
able management of Mr. J. J. Cun-
ningham, has decided to open up the
two large brick build'►nge to the north
of the G. T. R. tracks. Ono of these
buildings is 200e80 aud the other 180x30.
This new addition to the Foundry will
Le opened ap on Monday next and
the company will give employment to
over 100 men..
On Saturday last the employees
were pleasantly surprised by receiving
raises of from 5 to 111 per cent,
The foupdry has for some time been
acknowledged as one of the best in
Ontario. They worked eleven months
last year for which the company paid
over $00,000 in wages, and over 10;000
stoves were turned out besides the
various other lines of work which was
done.
This flourishing cone .uy has at
present over 380,000 worth of orders
to be filled and more coming than they
can accommodate with the present
number of employees.
Mr, Chas. Stewart of Almont, will
be in charge of the new buildings and
it is understood that those desiring to
learn the bu`s'iness will be paid excel-
lent wages to start, and will receive
increases as their proficiency warrants,
It is a sure thing that the Western
Foundry will be an exceedingly busy
place for many months to come.

BOARD 'OF TRADE
Enthusiastically Reorranizede+--Member•
ship of Over Forty,
•
An enthusiastic gathering of about
fifty of the business men .and ratepay-
ers of the town gathered in the town
hall on Friday night for the purpose of
the reorganizing the Wingham Board
of Trade, which organization has been
peacefully sleeping for the past six
years, The men's enthusiasm was
probably stirred because of the fact
that the union factory is about to re-
open, the Western Foundry is adver-
tising for over 100 men, and rumors
were being widely epread that there
was the possibility of getting another
industry, if the town would only reach
out for it. The meeting opened by
Mr. A. 13. Wilford, president of the
Business Men's Association, stating in.
a few words that he deemed it wise to
do away with the Business Men's As -
sedation and to form a live Board of
Trade. Owing to illness Mr. R. Clegg,
the president of the old Board was un-
able to be present, and the let Vice
President, Mr, W. J. Greer was called
on to, reorganize. Mr, ,Jai.,; etitchie
read the minutes and also the ruuee
and regulations sof the 1010 Board.
Treasurer A. E, Smith stated that the
Board bad 340.00 in the treasury.
As the by-laws call for the election
of officers to be held on the second
Tuesday in February. The following
were elected provisionally.

Ward 1V. -T. King, Fred Johnston
and 11. B. Elliott.
The housing and boarding house
problems were discussed aud alive
advertising nommittee was appointed
to advertise our town in the best man-
ner possible. From the present aspect
it looks as though Wingham was sure
to make a few rapid strides and with
A. 11. Wilford as president of the
Board of Trade it will not be found
wanting, He has already suggested
that the Board secure rooms and 'if
need be he will arrange to spend an
hour there each afternoon.
The next meeting of the Board will
be held in the town hall on Friday ev-
ening at 8 o'clock.

TURNBBRRY TWP,IN 1578
Interesting Remembrances of the Town.
ship Forty Years Ago
The geograpbiQal form of'this town-
ship is nearly that of a right-angled
triangle, with the base resting against
the 'Townships of Grey, Morris, and
East Wawanoah on the south-west,
the east side being bounded by the
Township of iowick, and the. north
by the Township of Culross, in the
County of Bruce, The general char-
acterietics of its soil may be stated as
of fair to superior quality, while its
surface is in the main undulating, in-
clining to roughness in those parts
bordering the north branch of the
Maitland River, which traversesit in
an extremely irregular course from
the eastern boundary to the north-
west angle, being joined within the
corporation of the Town of Wingham
(which is within the geographical
limits of Turnberry) by the middle
branch. which latter stream diverges
from Morris, and traversee, for several
miles, the south-weetern edge of the
towuehip.
So far as we can ascertain, the first
settlement .within( tele present limits
of•tkc..township was made where the
village of 131uavale now is, Jacob.
Cantelon (Lots 31 'and 'J2), ,Alexander
Duncan (Lots 20 and 30), and J'am
McCullough (Lots 33 and 31) were the
first settlers, some time previous to
the"land Bale" of the 4th September,
1854; Mr. McCullough having located
the previous March, and the others a
short time previous to that again, In
the eastern section of the township
James Benning, the present Deputy
Reeve, and Robert J. Duff had settled
some time prior to the "land sale;'
and about that date John Gallaher,
Alex Thompson, Andrew Mitchell,
John McTavish, Wm, Morris Sr. and
Jr., and Wm. Bennett came in and
occupied land, John Messer, for many
years Reeve of the township, was one
of the earliest settlers within its limits,
having located Lots 39 and 40, Con. 1,
in October, 1853, and settled there per-
manently during the following Bummer;
and Samuel Black, the first as well as'
the present Reeve, settled Lots 35 and
30 early in 1855, In the north-western
corner of the towuehip one Beckett
bad settled previously to therland sale,
and had erected a saw -mill at the
place afterwards known as Zetland, on
Lot 21, Con. B. In the south-eastern
portion, the Hyssops were' among the
very first, if not actually the first
settlers, Alexander occupying Lots 59
and 60, Con. 1, and Robert Moffatt
settling on Lots 31 and 55 just about
the same time. W. Irwin, who sub-
sequently laid out and named the
Village '• of Belmore, was the .first
settler in the northeastern portion of
the towuehip, on Lot 1, Con.,,C.
Reverting to the municipal organ-
ization, we find that previous to ite
separate and independent ,existence
Turnberry was united, for some years,
for purposes of municipal government,
to Wawanoah, then comprising both
East and West Wawanoah; and that
the Bret' year of its separate organiz-
ation was 1857, and the first Connell
and set of township officials was toms
posed as follows; --Reeve, Bawl, Black;.
Councillors, John Fortune, David
Haugh, Walter Sloan, Wm. Elliott;
Clerk, Thos. Fortune; Treasurer, Jae.
Anderson; Assessor, Andrew Mitchell;
Collector, Robt. J. Duff. From the
year of organisation the township has
been repre@ented in the County Coun)
til as follower -1858 59, Samuel Black;
1860, Thos. Eadie; 1861, Samuel Black;
1362 to 1871, inclusive, John Messer;
1872-73, Benj. Wilson; 1874, John
Messer; 1875 and thence each year to
the present, Sam'(. Black. In 1869 the
township became entitled to a Deputy
Reeve, C. Tait Scott filling the position
for that and the following year -being
followed•in 1871 by Wm. Cornyn, who
was in turn succeeded iu 1872-73 by
Wm, Douglas; and he in 1874* by
James Henning, who has since occu-
pied the position each successive year.
The Council and municipal officers
for the present year are:---Reevo,'Semi,
Black; Deputy, James Henning; Clerk
and Treasurer, Jae. Johnson; Assessor,
John. McTavish; Collector, Richard
Porter; Auditors, Wm. McPherson,
Robert ,Eadie. The official report of
these latter gentlemen for the year
1878 shows total receipte of 313,110 52,
and total expenditures of $13,001.82.
The amount of taxes collected was
$10,569.58. Of the expenditures,
$2,335.65 were for county rate, 34-,379,10
