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. s Mother—Would you like to come and rock the baby a bit, Tomrnye Tommy—Rather!

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- dows, and the silhouette of the tat- ters outlined themselves before the vision of the would-be sleepers, the began to realize that morning was breaking, and without at least some sleep the day would drag lazily Gradually the sounds faded. away_ and a deep silence filled the cottage, and sweet sleep; broken only by pleasant dreame settled clown up- on the Company. About three hours later, the morning was ushered in by one of the girls exclaiming "Good- bye to sleep." It was. Sunday morn- ing and their thoughts turned. to church. At the proper time several of them got into an auto driven by one of the ladies. While ascending one of the grades the car began to chuck, chuck, and the next minute five of the girls were furnishing the power necessary to make the grade They lined up at the church at elev. en o'clock only to be disappointed at fending that service was held in the afternoon. In the afternoon nine of the twelve found accomodation in the pews. Sunday night and the girls settled down earlier and got a good night's sleep, The balmy breezes ate good appetizers and the girls never for a moment considered the high Cost of living.

Stereoptican views showing pictures of Canada from coast to coast were thrown upon the canvas 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?
