GOING HOME
I am going to my own hearth -stone,
Bosomed on yon green hills alone—
A secret nook in a pleasant land,
W hose groves the frolic fairies plan-
ned;
Where arches green the livelong day
Echo the blackbird's roundelay,
And vulgar feet have never trod—
A spot that is sacred to thought and
God.
0, when I am safe inmy sylvan
home,
I'tread en the pride of Greece and
Rome;
And when I am stretched beneath
the pines,
Where the evening star so holy
shines,
I laugh at the love and pride of man
At the sophist schools and the learn-
ed clan;
Per what are' they all in their high
conceit,
When man in the bush with God
nis.y meet?
—Ralph Waldo Emerson.
An Original One
A visitor in Goderich when cal-
ling at 7I. T. Edward's restaurant
for some refreshment, was asked if
he would like to try the new "Steel
Plant Sundae" Believing it some-
thing good to eat, our visitor replied
in the affirmative, whereupon an
empty dish was set before him --
"Nothing in it."
We would respectfully suggest
that farmers throughout the coun-
try keep their names plainly painted.
on their rural mail boxes so that
they may be easily read by Passers-
by, This would be •necessary in case
•of new couriers at any time, but now
the summer is here and people are
doing more driving than usual it is
interesting to know just where ev-
erybody lives.

SUCCESSFUL GARDEN PARTY.
A successful garden party was
held on the lawn of the Trivitt Mem-
orial church last Friday evening.

cellent music. The evening was cool

main long at a time but patrons
kept coming and going. Ice cream
and refreshments were sold and the
booths were fairly well patronized.
DOMINION DAY.
The celebration of Canada's birth-
day, coming with the dawn of peace
was royally observed by the pleas-
ure -seekers on Dominion Day. The
day was hot and the roads were dus-
ty. Nearly every auto of the com-
munity was on the roads bound for
somewhere. Never before was such a
crowd seen at Grand. Bend on the op-
ening of the summer season. Thou-
sands of people visited the resort by
auto and rig. The driveways and
parks were packed with cars and the
dust rose in clouds. Numbers motor-
ed to Goderich and other places.
Bowlers took in tournaments at Lon-
don and Mitchell. Tired, dusty and
broke sums up the day for a good
many.
Newspaper Advertising Best..
Bankers have come to more fully
appreciate the value of advertising
and they attribute most of their suc-
cess to wise and judicious advertis-
ing in the newspapers, The Mississ-
ippi Bankers Association passed the
resolution at its recent annual con-
vention, therein urging the fraturn-
ity to use advertising appropriation.
in buying space in newspapers only.
This is also true of every other busi-
ness or profession. Much money is
spent in foolish advertising and not
enough in judious advertising. All
the large retail businesses and pat-
ent medicine millionaires in the
country owe their success chiefly to
a system of liberal and judicious ad-
vertising.
YOUNG LAD1I:S HOLD HOUSE
PARTY AT LAKE
A. number of young ladies from
town held a house party at Grand
Bend for a few days during the
past week. On Saturday twelve
young ladies motored out and took
possession of Killarney Cottage. The
started out fine. It is reported
they were all in by twelve o'clock on.
Saturday night and retired early.
But—and herin lies a tale, it is one
thing to retire and another thing to
carry out the object for which they
retired. The powers of -articulation
so peculiar and popular among the
feminine found ample scope to carry
on. When the hour hand of the clock
bad, gone round the dial about three
times in the early morning the ladies
were just beginning to settle down.
but before they had done so one of
the particular articles of furniture
upon which a couple of the ladies
were taking their rest, suddenly
settled down in a way they
were not thinking of. Some time la-
ter, after much persuasion, joking
and coaxing on the part of some,
just as the grey dawn of the morn-
ing began to peep through the win-

ters outlined themselves before the
vision of the would-be sleepers, the

PATRIOTIC SUNDAY.
Last Sabbath afternoon was Pat-
riotic day in James St. Sunday
school. Stereoptican views showing
pictures of Canada from coast to

and an address was ably given by
Dr. Roulston. Miss Vera Essery sang
a patriotic solo that was much ap-
preciated. A number of bouquets of
flowers were brought to the service
by the scholars and the presentation
of a book was made to Miss Mar-
garet Johns for bringing the best
1 bouquet. This was Rev. Mr. Baird's
last Sabbath with his class of young
Iladies to whom he brought a closing
message.
DO IT NOW
If ther's work that should be done
do it now; if you borrow mon, -do it
now; putting off from day to day, is
a foolish slipshod 'way, and such
methods never pay—do it now. If
you'd ply a deathless pen do it now:
if you ought to set a ,hen, do it now;
if you're to trim the lawn, do not
wait to -morrow's dawn; you may be
dead and gone, do it now. If you'd
build yourself a home do it now; if
you'd write an epic poem do it now;
oh, so many fellows cry, "We have
plans for by and by!" If you'd climb
to places high, do it now. if you'd
renovate your life do it now; if you'd
cheer your weary wife do it now; it
is vain to sit and wait till you git
your mood on straight; if you ought
to pull your freight, pull it now. If
you'd buy next winter's coal, buy it
now; if you wish to save a roll, save
it now; for no man can rise and say
what may happen when to -day is
worn out and laid away; do things
now. If you'd demonstrate your grit
do it now, if you hope to make a hit,
do it now; for the idler cuts no ice
and the dreamer lacks the price; if
you get there once or twice. do it
now.—Walt Mason.

A X=15811 SEAMAN'S 1061" EE'.EENC$
This story of Wm Rogers, a seaman
in the Mine Sweeping Branch of the
Royal Navy, is absolutely true and can
be readily verified.
At Niagara Camp, in 1914, Rogers con-
tracted Rheumatism. He was sent to the
TorontoGeneral Hospital, where for over
19 months he '.;as a patient, finally being
discharged as Incurable. Indespair he
took a friend's advice and tried Temple -
ton's Rheumatic Capsules. The results
were astounding—in a short time he was
able to pass the stiff examination set by
The Navy, and became an A.]3, in the
Mine' Sweeping Branch.
For 171/2 months he did service in the
North Sea. On three occasions he was
blown into the sea and remained in the
ice-cold water as long as eleven bourn at
a stretch. Despite these hardships Rog-
ers bad no return of his previous
trouble. Think about it. If T.R.C,S
did so much for Rogers—will they not
do the same for you?
