THE .WINGHAM TIMES
July I 3th, x91:&
Farm. Laborers Wanted
The Western Provinces of "Canada
have experienced an acute shortage of
Farm laborers for Spring Seeding and
Summer work this year. ,
Even when times were normal through-
out Canada, moreover, it was always
necces'ary to bring from twenty-five
to thirty thousand Laborers from East-
ern Points for the Harvest season.
As voluntary enlistments have been
very heavy and inasmuch as a success-
ful crop is predicted by the experts
grave fear is being felt along the Lines
of the Canadian Northern Railway, on
a -count of the difficulty experienced in
obtaining Labor, which means districts
served by the C. N. R.
Far further particulars apply to
Ritchie & Cosens or write to R. L. Eair-

ROUTED BY AN ECHO.
Story of the Most Curious Victory Ever
Won on British Soil.
Did you ever hear of an army of
fierce fighters that fled in terror when
it was attacked by the one word,
"FIalielujah!" shouted by an army that
was not even in sight? The fact that
the shouters could not be seen bad
something to do with the amazing ef-
fect
ffect of the word. The knowledge and
wit of a foreigner, who knew how to
utilize a curious fact in nature and a
remarkable topographical formation,
must be given the final credit for the
most interesting victory ever achieved
on British soil. It was less than fif,
ty years after the beginning of the
conquest of Britain by the Angles,
Saxons and Jutes from Germany, when
a small band of those who were form-
ing the nucleus of a coming nation
was on the point of being attacked by
a vast army of ferocious Picts.
There were no better fighters than
the Picts, and the native Britons, to-
gether with the Saxon invaders, were
facing certain extermination, Then
one of the foreigners, called Germanus
by the Britons, told the soldiers that
he would give them the victory if they
would follow him. He led the way to
a hollow place in the hills, on the road
the Picts were using in their approach.
When the scouts reported that the ene-
my was coming up the mountain road
Germanus and his band shouted "Hal-
lelujah!" three times in quick succes-
sion. The hills took up the echo, and
the Picts thought they were surround-
ed by a mighty army. They turned
and fled.
HINDU FLIRTING IS RARE.
There Is Little Chance For That Kind
of Pastime In India.
There's less flirting per square mile
in India than in any other country in
the world. Tho glance out of the cor-
ner of the eye and the lowered lash is
unknown. A Hindu woman has to dress
so that it can be told whether or not
she is married; it's a pretty safe bet,
however, that she is. When a Hindu
girl begins to edge up around fifteen
without having made the leap her par-
ents begin to spend listless, feverish
nights.
By the rings in her ears and by the
way she wears her Bair it may be told
in • a Hindu woman is married and
sometimes how many children she has.
The best evidence that she is married
is the child sitting astride her hip.
When you go to lift a Hindu child its
little legs automatically fly open as if
you had pressed a button.
Flirting is an almost unknown pas-
time in India. Even the men have to
let the world know if they take their
wages home each week unopened. A
Hindu man can't go around making in-
nocent women believe that he hasn't
a single photo on his dresser, for he
has to wear a ring on his toe showing
if he has ever walked down the aisle
in conventional black at high noon. All
a woman in India has to do to see if
She is wasting her time is to glance
'own at the man's toes.
A glance over the Premium List for
1916, just issued by the Canadian
National Exhibition, shows a marked
tendency throughout to give encourage-
ment to utility breeds and types and
with this object in view the Dominion
Government has again contributed
$5,000 to the prizes, the Exhibition has
added another $2,000 and the Hereford
Society a simular amount. A full
classification has again been given to
all grades and for the first time reserve
ribbons will be given in all classes of
live stock.
Among the new classes in the horse
section are two for aged Standard Bred
stallions in harness, one for trotters and
one for pacers.
In the Poultry section the breeding
pens, added for the first time last year,
will be repeated and liberal treatment
is again assured the utility breeds.
Several changes are noted in the
Fruit Section including the addition
of two extra classes in apples and
pears in 10 box lots and a 0x24 display
of Canadian fruit, For the latter
prizes amounting to $400 will be given.
The Honey men will again have a
chance for competition. They retired
about two years ago, but have again
asked for representation. •
The butter -making competitions will
be repeated. A.mong the changes in the
Dairy section is a class for standard
creamery packages of 56 pounds in place
of the obsolete "not less than 50 lbs."
classification.
The Live Stock buildings, barns,
stables and pens have all been disin-
fected and approved by the Department
of Agriculture at Ottawa and exhibitors
need fear no evil results from the
recent occupancy by the Military horses.
Immigration figures for first two
months of the fiscal year show increase
over last year of 13 per cent. The
total immigration was 12,791, as against
11,330 for the corresponding month in
1915. Only 1,601 came from Great
Britain, as compared with 2,697 last
year. but from the United States came
10,279, as compared with 7,877 last
year.
