NEW
CASH CREAM STATION
We have learned in our twenty-two years experience that it is
more satisfactory to the Producer and also to the Buyer of cream
to sell his cream direct to a cream station, where he can see it
weighed and tested and receive payment for same when delivered.
than it is to ship cream to a distant creamery and await returns,
We have rented a store, for a year, from

making' a search out of Wingham,
from Wingham went to Clinton and
served papers along the toad, and from
Clinton. returned to Goderich. The
temperance organization is evidently
bent on seeiug that the law is enforc-
ed.
It is not safe to let onc'e friendliness
extend. to entertaining with alcoholic
beverages these days, as W. J. Powell
found to his costs the past week. On
Wednesday last there was a buach of
bowlers in town from an outside point
and a quartette enj.iyed Mr. Powell's
hospitality at his home, On their way
home per auto, the party were ditched
and the ma thine badly damaged. This
was the night many were on the road
returning from the Red Cross Garden
Party held at Saltford Heights, and
some narrow escapes from collison
with the bowlers' auto are reported.
A fine of $50 and costs was imposed by
Police Magistrate Kelly on Mr. Powell
on Tuesday in connection with this
case and the previous evening the
bowling party paid a fine of $10 each.
A second fine of $50 and costs was
imposed on Mr. Powell on Tuesday,
this time for entertaining a quartette
of boat men in a aim,iliar way, Con-
stable Pellow arrivinat the house as
the party were enjoying a friendly
glass on Monday morning.
On Monday Cliff Levy, of Clinton.
pleaded guilty to a violation of the
Canadian 'Temperance Act and paid a
fine of $50 and costs to Magistrate
Kelly and yesterday afternoon Roy
Graham, of Clinton, was before the
magistrate on a charge of infraction
of the C. T. A. Both these cases arose
out of a seizure of a ten-gallon keg of
whisky at 1YIcGaw station Ly Constable
Pellow. In connection with this case
there was a lot of detective work (loin.
The Constable had a tip that whisky
was to be delivered somewhere along
the line of the C. P. R. He made five
trips to McGaw before he caught the
keg being unloaded, It was consigned
to Wm. Singleson. Levy was on hand
and claimed the whisky and brought
friends to identify him but was unable
to satisfy the express agent that the
liquor was his, Graham also was on
band.
The caee agitinet Jables Burne, of
Blyth, in which judgment was reserv-
ed for a week, was dismissed, it being
not proven that the liquor was brought
into the county. Eche, case was before
Police Magistrate Aadiows of Clinton,
'Under recent convictions for viola-
tions of the Canada Temperance Act,
which°is in force in Huron County,
Silas Balkwill, of Blanchard Township
was lined $50 and costa for unlawfully
bringing liquor into the county, and
Fred Bloomfield, of Exeter, was fined
a
similiar amount for the same offence.
George Hirone, of Blyth, pleaded
guilty before Magistrate Kelly, of

other than personal use and was fined
$50 in costs last Friday,—Goderich

WONDERFUL STUFF 1
LIFT OUT TOUR CORNS
Apply a few drops then lift cornu of
calloueee off with fingerer--
no
ingere--no pain
No humbug! Any corn, whether
Bard or eon or between the toes, will
loosen right up and lift out, withuut a
particle of pain or soreness.
This drug is called froczone and is a
compound of ether discovered by a
Cinelunati man.
Atk at any drug store Lor a small
bottle of freezone. which will cost but
a trifle, batt is sufficient to rid one's
feet of every corn or callous.
Put a few drops directly upon, any
tender, aching cora or callus. Instant-
ly the soreness disappears and shortly
the corn or callus will loosen and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This drug,freezune doesn't eat out
the corns or calluses but shrivels there
without even irritating the eurrouucl•
in g skin.
Just think! No pain et all; no sore-
ness ortmar ling when applying it or
afterwards. If your druggist don't
have freezone have him order it for
you.

GERMANY WANTS CANADA
Following is the report taken from
Hansard, of a speech by Hon. Senator
Poirier in the Canadian Upper House
on the conscription question. It is a
capital answer to the Quebec conten-
tion that it is time enough for us to
take up arm! when Canada is attack-
ed:
"Speaking about the indemnity they
intend to exact from England after
they war is over, Prince Frederick of
Lowenstein recently in Munich. pro-
posed ae an instalment the cession of
Canada to the Fatherland.
"One of the many excellent reasons
why Germany so ardently coyote this
our fair Dominion of Canada is to be
found is the following lines of the

"Germany will claim Canada as an
indemnity of war, because this will
permit the German -Americans to
e hake the dust of the United States
oft' their feet and pass across the line
to Canada, where they would live
under the folds of the German Flag.
"But the yell is heard: 'We will fight
and die when Canada is actually in-
vaded.' Canada, honourable gentle-
men, is actually invaded, Our fight-
ing lines, or land are Flanders and the
North of France: on the waters, there
are the North Sea and the Mediterra-
nean. Would you rather have them at
Halifax, or Quebec and wait till then
to fight? Following this same logic,
New Brunswick might say, after Hall -
fax was blockaded by" the German
fleet. we are willing to fight; but we
will wait till St. John or Moncton is
attacked," and when St. John and
Moncton were besieged, Quebec would
shout, 'we are ready to fight and die,
but only when Quebec is actually in-
vaded', and when the glorious old city
of Quebec was invaded, Toronto would
clamour, 'wait until Ottawa is assailed
and then, by jingo, we will show them
e,.
CHO
what Scots and Loyalists can do;" and
when the holy city of Toronto is in
the throes of Hun aggression, Winni-
peg and Vancouver will sit uncon-
cerned, because war has not been
eai:ried yet as far as the wild and
woolly West.
"This plea is a criminally, absurd
plea. If we wait until the shores of
Canada are invaded. it will be too late;
Canada and all her hopes will be gone
irretrievably."

SING A SCHOOL
When the body of your son or daughter is ill, how earnestly your family discusses the professional ab-
ility of the various doctors. When the more delicate work of training, the equipping 'of a child with
a businebs education upon which depends the success of their whole life, surely you should inquire
carefully into the merits and past work of the different commercial schools before making a choice.
As the teacher, so the school
A famous educationist once said: "A log with a young man on one end and Hopkins on the other is a University." There is no standard set
for business college teachers, hence, the necessity of investigation. A rival school in Wingham advertises as a member of their teaching staff a
lady who would have to study three or four years longer before the Education Department of Ontario would allow her to teach cat, rat, hat or
hen, pen, mon in our public schools.
Isaac Pitman Shorthand
Students desiring Isaac Pitman Shorthand will have as instruc-
tor Mr, John Morritt, for some time a teacher in the Elliott Busi-
ness College, Toronto, and whose students in the Wingham Busi-
ness College last year made such a wonderful record. Mr. Morritt
if ono of the most faithful, paluetaking, sympathetic teachers wo
have over employed.
Gregg Shorthand
This system is easy to learn, easy to write and roast' to read. It
has stood the test. It is used in over three-fourths of the Commer-
cial and High Schools of U. S. and a large number in Canada. Mrs.
Foster Ferguson, who is in charge of this department needs no in-
troduction as ohe has a provincial reputation as teacher of this
system,
Positions
Students are absolutely guaranteed actuations or
fees will be refunded. All recent lady graduates
have taken positions at from $10.00 to $15 00 per

Toronto, they have a home and can attend if they
wish our Canada Business College, Cor. College and

good farmer. I should have wanted to Fend him at
least six months to a business college to give him the

permit the German -Americans to
e hake the dust of the United States
oft' their feet and pass across the line
to Canada, where they would live
under the folds of the German Flag.
"But the yell is heard: 'We will fight
and die when Canada is actually in-
vaded.' Canada, honourable gentle-
men, is actually invaded, Our fight-
ing lines, or land are Flanders and the
North of France: on the waters, there
are the North Sea and the Mediterra-
nean. Would you rather have them at
Halifax, or Quebec and wait till then
to fight? Following this same logic,
New Brunswick might say, after Hall -
fax was blockaded by" the German
fleet. we are willing to fight; but we
will wait till St. John or Moncton is
attacked," and when St. John and
Moncton were besieged, Quebec would
shout, 'we are ready to fight and die,
but only when Quebec is actually in-
vaded', and when the glorious old city
of Quebec was invaded, Toronto would
clamour, 'wait until Ottawa is assailed
and then, by jingo, we will show them
e,.
CHO
what Scots and Loyalists can do;" and
when the holy city of Toronto is in
the throes of Hun aggression, Winni-
peg and Vancouver will sit uncon-
cerned, because war has not been
eai:ried yet as far as the wild and
woolly West.
"This plea is a criminally, absurd
plea. If we wait until the shores of
Canada are invaded. it will be too late;
Canada and all her hopes will be gone
irretrievably."

SING A SCHOOL
When the body of your son or daughter is ill, how earnestly your family discusses the professional ab-
ility of the various doctors. When the more delicate work of training, the equipping 'of a child with
a businebs education upon which depends the success of their whole life, surely you should inquire
carefully into the merits and past work of the different commercial schools before making a choice.
As the teacher, so the school
A famous educationist once said: "A log with a young man on one end and Hopkins on the other is a University." There is no standard set
for business college teachers, hence, the necessity of investigation. A rival school in Wingham advertises as a member of their teaching staff a
lady who would have to study three or four years longer before the Education Department of Ontario would allow her to teach cat, rat, hat or
hen, pen, mon in our public schools.
