Jamestown Mr, David)3adgley sold his farm last week to Fleming Grainger of Howick Mr. Badgley will no doubt take a well deserved rest. Mr Wm. Hamilton sold his 60 acres to Mr.' Gideon Parkes. It will be con- venient as it is across the road and Mr, Parkes did well to get a farm so close, having sold his 50 acres in Turnberry to McCutcheon Bros a short time ago. It is reported that Thos. Burke has pur- chased the homestead 100 acres from his father Mr. Samuel Burke and will get pos- session next March. Mr. Morris Bosman makes his start as mail carrier this week on Route No 2 If he does as well as Eva Breckenridge he will suit the public as she was a splendid mail carrier. Sapper Holt is not gaining in -health as his many friends would wish him; he is in London Hospital at present. Mr, Donald McDonald expects to build a cement silo this week, he has a good crop of corn ready to fill it, it is getting late but he could not get the contractor any sooner, Mr, D. C. Pope is threshing in this vicinity.' Grain is turning out good. East Wawanosh Another of the early settlers passed away on the 23rd inst in the person of John Campbell at his residence near Belgrave. Deceased was born in Puslinch Tp. near Guelph in 1841 and when quite young removed with his parents to Nassagaweya Tp., Co Halton, where he remained till 1865 where he removed to this Tp. and resided continuously, until his decease. Beingindu?;trious and thrifty he amassed a very comfortable estate. He was married in 1809 to Isabella , Dunbox and from the union the following sons and daughters survive Mrs. Wm Sims of Blyth and Minnie at home, Hugh and Joseph of Manitoba, Robert with G. T. R. at Hickson and Henry at home. Another daughter Mrs. P. W. Scott died 25 years ago. The funeral took place on Saturday to Brandon Cementry and was largely attended. Services were condnct- ed by Revs. Boyle and Davidson} and by C. O. F. of which society deceased was long a member. THE UNSELFISH MOTHER'S • ANSWER ° (By Dr. James D. Hughes) The following stanzas, from a longer poem printed in the Los Angeles Times, were in reply to Edwin Markham's poem, which begins, "0 mothers, will you longer give your sons," etc. Sad significance is given to these lines by the fact that Dr. Hughes' own son was killed fighting for France some months ago. "What if he does not come?" you say; Ah, well! I'dy sky would be more gray, But through the clouds the sun would shine, Arid vital memories Ifs mine, God's test of manhood is, I know, Not "will he come" but **did hego?" My son well knew that he might die, And yet he went, with purpose high, To fight for peace and overthrow The plans of Christ's relentless foe. He dreaded not the battlefield; He went to make fierce vandals yield. If he comes not again to me I shall be sad; but not that he Went like a man—a hero true— His part unselfishly to do. My heart will feel exultant pride That for humanity he died. "Forgotton grave!" This selfish plea Awakes no deep response in me, For, though his grave I may not see. My boy will ne'er forgotten be, My real son can never die; 'Tis but his body that may lie In foreign land, and I shall keep Remembrance fond forever, deep Within my heart of my true son, Because of triumphs that he won. It matters not where anyone May lie and sleep when work is done. It matters not where some men live; If my dear son his life must give, Hosannas I will sing for him, E'en though my eyes with tears be dim. And when the war is over, when His gallant comrades come again, I'll cheer them as they're marching by, Rejoicing that they did not die. And when his vacant place I see, My heart will bound with joy that he Was mine so long- my fair young Son— And cheer for him whose work is done. rtIE W l NGUA.M ADVANCE Big special Fair Attraction The $th, Wonder of the World Under the auspices of the Turnberry Agricultural Society TOWN HALL WINGHAM Wed.

WAS 11 THE COWS PAOJLT7 Suppe: iug that you keep a cow giving five thousand pounds of milk in a year, for which you recclved seventy dollars cash, how much profit does that cow make? This is not a riddle, but simply It query that every dairyman should be in a position to answer. Leaving aside the "higher accounting" side of revenue and expenses per cow those persistent items of rent, interc,t, tax's, depreciation, etc and taking only income from milk or fat, and cost of feed, are you then in a posit- ion to say definitely that each cow you keep does make a good clear profit above iced co::t? 3Vhetlter the feed is valued at forty or eighty dollars, whether the income is fifty or one hundred and twanty dollars, is there such profit that a fair return is made to you for the labour expended? For if revenue and expense just balance showing no margin of profit at all, there must surley be something wrong, your labour has to be paid for. Milk and feed record forms may be had free on application to the Dairy Commiss- ioner, Ottawa, so that the profit made by each cow may be ascertained. Perhaps some cows would show profit if fed better, some won't. Many men in all provinces on the cow testing register at Ottawa show thirty and sixty dollars clear profit per cow above feed cost. You may have made more than that; if you made less, was it entirely the cow's fault? THE ADVANCE JOB DEPARTMENT is equipped with all the newest type faces and turns out the neatest printing.

EilEMBOMMOMMEMPROVIIMIMI CHIROPRACTIC PATRIOTISM' AND PRODUCTION Misther Editor: -Did you iver in your Wife notice--av coorse ye have- that this worulcl was made up av "pull” shpelt it wid a big ,capital P? The pollyticians have their pull,. the big interests and the little wans too, have their pull, the mer- chant, the farmer, the Indian and the ladies all have their pull, but the greatest pull av all these pulls was the pull pulled aff by our win -the -war citizens lasht wake whin they betook thimselves out to Billy James Shannon's farum in Mickillop and pulled in a fifteen acre plot av flax to kape it from rottin in the field an presarvin it for the use av the Empoire. Now, this tmaque pull resolved itsilf round about in this fashun. Well, you see, Misther Ed- ithor, the Flax Mill Company had a grate dale too much faith in the Almanac an th dinsity av the mental procissis av "Lo, the poor Indian," with the accinton the poor, for ye must renumber the motto, "the poor ye always hav wid'ye," an they hired a bunch av Indians, composed chafely av min, wimen and childther, barrin the dogs to pull the flax in this siction at the ple- thoric price av tin dollars an acre, an iverythiug was being pleasantly pulled aff, Lo the praise an glory av Big Divvydends and as me friend Davy Varum sez, "to thin that has gits." But to their utter discoinforturs wan night along came wan av Sam Gompers destroying angels and shprinkied the front door posht av the brown stone mansions av the Indian pullers wid 'threasonable litherathure, making a fifty-fifty, free-for-all purse av twinty dollars an acre nate for" pulling flax at Sebringville. To be sure, Torres Vadris--loike the company, sat soilently widin the "Vale av Tears," an wouldn't git it out ave the wet, or cash in to save their anty. Be gar, in the opinion of the Indians the company's rigiday in favor av filthy lucre transhended their judgmint, an following the example av the Arabas, -they folded their tints and shtole soil- ently away," during the night, an nixt mornin Poor Lo's habitation was plisantly located by the quiet wathers av shtrame," "Twinty dollars per acre," belaying there was more pull at twinty dollars than there was at tin dollars. Av coorse, the flax magnates were consoomed wid hostile in- tinshuns at loosin a good tin dollar pull, an from an effulgint divvydind point av view could ye blame thim, thin agin ye couldn't shoot the bullcon at the Indian pull aither. Scointists say ,that Jawn Chinaman an Poor Lo bear characteristic athributes, an me frind Bret Harte wance tould me, "Fer ways that are dark an thricks that are vain the 1laythin Chinee is pecooliar," an the way thim Indians shnaked aff in the dark prove the scoin- tists an me frind Bret were mighty near roight in their deducshns. Now to make a long story short, at this juncture av the. pull the flax company was in a divil av a predicament for flax pullers, and afther ransackin the grey matther av their brains for a rimidy, a broight scintillashun oidea permeated wan av thim, i.e., apply to the Seaforth Food Producshun Associashun for help. No sooner sed than dun. The F. P. A. was on the job inshtanther Mayor Stewart proclaimed a half holiday for the mirchants an their Vandthribilts for Wednesday afternoon, an in fiowin robes of office headed a processhun av volunteered antomobiles filled wid pullers to the flax field, where they rowled up their pants, and pulled and pulled to their hearts' contfnt. To be sure, the Mayor was in good company whin he was flanked to the left av him by Kurnel Wilson and Praycher Mickinley as aidy-camps. The ladies av the Rid Crass ' Society. God bliss thim, niver fail in pathriotic service, came across into Macedonia or McKillop, where "the fields were ripe unto the harv- est," with the foinest av refrishments for the butlers and the gallant disciples of Boaz voted their president, Miss Case, an her cotherie av angels -their sweetness av characther would call the birds aff the bushes -a hearty caed mille failthe. Well, well, Mr. Edithor, it was a grate day's pullin entoirely, an the stories the bys tell about their flax pullin' exploits would make me ould frind Jonah and his fish story blush with excoited invy, but it is now ginirally conceded that Doc Beachlay the dintist, pulled more achers thin enny of thim. N. B. -That's a joak, d'ye• git me. Shure it was a long pull, a strong pull, an a pull altogether, be gar, believe me -you it was some pull.
