Dig Money hi Publishing?
It is interesting to read what some
delinquent subscribers to weekly
papers write after getting an account
for their subscription. How ignorant
some are regarding the law is almost
unbelievable. A Brussels man, and
for very little we would give his name,
writes to THE' ADVANCE as follows:
"Will you produce a subscription that
I gave to you or anybody else, and -I
will pay for the paper, and if not I
will not till I have to, so if you send
any more papers I will return to you,"
Keep cool, Levi, the law does not eay
that a publisher "must produoe a sub-
scription," but it does distinctly say
that by accepting a paper yon aro
liable for same and acknowledge your
indebtedness by accepting it, The law
goes one step further and says that a
publisher may continue to eend a
paper after it is refused, providing
the subscriber is in arrears.

"CONSCRIPT THE WOMEN"
The compulsory mobilization oY all
classes of able bodied young women
In Franco for war work le being con-
stantly urged by French writers. Fore-
most among thes.. advocates of the
conscription of women is Henri Berea -
ger, who pays a fine tribute to English-
women. "In England," he says, "the
co-operation of women in war work
is far greater than it it. in France."
There are about 10,903,000 women in
France. Of those 5,000,000 should be
available for war work. About 2,000,-
000 are serving in "Borne capacity now.
But it is necessary that the other
3,000,000 Should come forward, saga
the French Government.
FIRST CORPS' RECORD
Six Weeks' "Redemption" by a Fam-
ous French Unit
The following is from a correspon-
dent with the Frenoh armies an the
Somme: The 1st Corps of the French
army established a six weeks' record.
Under the command of General Guil-
laumont, it is composed of regiments
from the northwestern part of France
now occupied by the enemy. Thou-
sands of the men came from villages
and farms just a few :riles beyond
the German front, where every fdit
of ground gained meant , oue step
nearer home. Tho corps was taken
to the Somme on August 23.
The remainder of Maulepas was re-
taken at a single bound on the day
following their arrival: The next vil-
lage taken was Le Forest, followed
by Hospital Farm, Boucliavesnes,
Rancourt, Combles, and Rregicourt.
At the end of six weeks the corps
had captured, in addition to the vil-
lages and the score or more of highly -
fortified trenches and positions that
defended them, 4,000 prisoners, 23
cannon, of which eight were heavy,
and 70 machine guns. The losses in
killed and wounded inflicted on the
enemy are placed at 40,000.
During a goodly portion cof these
six weeks the First Corps had be-
fore .it units of the famous Prussian
Guard, , the French, .front September
3 to 6, taking amongst a total of 1,200
prisoners 750 alone from its various
regiments. The entire ground re-
gained by the corps extended on a
front of 2 miles- to a depth of 39/4
mile
ROLES SOON REVERSED
Cool Lieutenant Took Many German
Officers Curiously
Incidents in the capture of prison-
ers are legion. A young Scotch officer,
who had pushed through to • a very
distant point far in front of the rest,
lost all his men but two, and they
were sent off to guard approaches.
He himself walked to the door of a
battalion headqua>,Jers and told the
German staff that they were his
prisoners. They accepted his asser-
tion, but, discovering his loneliness,
lured him into an inner room and
politely suggested that the position
was reversed. He was the prisoner
nd they the captors. The intePpre-
tation was as politely accepted.
Now this inner mom was fitted with
a giant periscope, and the face of
the German who was revolving it
soon began to grow longer and longer.
"British soldiers are all round us,"
he said at last, and at the word the
Scots lieutenant quietly proposed to
the room that the original position
should be restored. "As you were."
,The first assertion, after all, was the
right one. They were his prisoners.
Throughout the incident and after it
the German in command behaved "as
a gentleman."

The widow of the Dublin editor was
active politically long after the
tragedy of the rebellion. Sheehy
Skeffington was shot by order of

Blue vale
A large congregation was present at
the mortiing service in Knox church
on Sunday, July 15, to witness the un-
veiling of a Roll of Honor containing
the names of the young men now en-
listed for overseas service who' have
been at any time ponnected with Knox
Church or Young People's Society.
The musical part of the service was
pleasing and appropriate including a
solo, "The Call of the Motherland," by
Miss Carrie Diment, and "The Veter-
an's Song" by Miss Agnes Aitoheson.
At the close of the sermon the pastor,
Rev. Crawford Tate paid a tribute to
the part being played by the young
men in carrying on the Anglo-Saxon
line of Liberty and when the flag -
draped Roll of Honor had been grace-
fully unveiled by two little girls, Miss-
es Nellie McKinney and Olive Garnier,
relatives of two of the soldiers repre-
sented, he read aloud the names in-
scribed on the Roll as follows:—Lieut.
Walter H. Burgess. Serjeant Jas. Mc-
Naughton, Signaller Howard G. Raney
Sapper A. E. Thomas, and Privates J.
Malcolm Scott, A. L. Poeliff, Alfred
Ennis, Frank Shaw, Leslie McKinney,
Harold V. Kerney, Leslie S. Winch,
Ralph Shaw, Bertram Badman, Leon-
ard Robinson, Ben Woodley, Colin
McNaughton. The congregation then
joined in singing the National Anthem.
It was an occasion of deep feeling for
the large number present including
many of the friends and relatives of
the soldiers who were being honored.
'rile Roll of Honor, which is the gift of
the Westminster Guild, presents a
pleasing appearance, hand -lettered in
Old English with illuminated title in -
Male in green and gold and framed in
oak. •
The prize lists are out for the Blue -
vale School Fair which is to be held
by the pupils of Bluevale School on
Friday Sept. 14th. Upwards of fifty
dollars,in cash prizes has been gener-
ously contributed by the men and
women of the school section and three

and girls to put forth their beet efforts.
A large number of classes are includ-
ed in the prize list such as fruits, veg-
etables, flowers, live stock, poultry,
pets, sewing, cooking manual training,
public speaking, indoor school work
and sports. In some cases the com-
petition is open to young people up to
twenty years of age. The committee
which has had in charge the organiza-
tion work of the fair is Miss L. E.
Holmes teacher, Rev. D. D. Thomson,
Mr. Goo, McDonald, Mies M. Stewart,
Mies L. Shaw, and Rev. Crawford
Tate
They have spent a great deal
of thought and care in planning the
details of the fair which gives every
promise of being an interesting and
successful event.

An oil Paint For Flat
Interior Decoration
Simple, harmonious color schemes in plain, restful
tints, give an added charm to. the home. "'NEU-TONE"
is the modern wall finish. it is cheaper and better than
wall paper—and . doubly ,pleasing ,because of its 'quiet
effects. .
"NEU-TONE" is waterproof; sanitary and durable.
It cannot scale, fade or rub offs --and may, be washed
with soap and watery!
When you get new furniture and want to change the
"NEU-TONE" decorations of any room, simply apply
a fresh shade of "NEU+TONE".over the one on the wall.
"NEU-TONE" saves the scraping- and muss that
usually accompanies decorating. "'NEU-TONE" is
equally good for every roam in the house—for any
plastered wall ceiling, burlap, wood o rmetal surface.
