-Beats all how little a man can live
on, it circumstances force him to be
frugal. Chas. W. Itterse, the million.
alre ex -banker and ice -king, has cut
down his living to the small sum of
10t cents a clay. But the "circum-
stances" are -he is in Leavenworth
penitentiary where economy is the
rule among the inmates.

-The editor of the Advance is
pleased to bear that his letters from
California are being enjoyed by the
readers of this popular family journal.
The enjoyment has not been one-sided
for they -have given the editor much
pleasure to write them, and. thus be
the means of assisting to make the
paper interesting.

-Some people contend that the
Trusts are not entirely to blame for
the high price of meat. Perhaps not;
the habit' of eating may have some-
thing to do -with it. If the demand
regulates the price, less eaten should
lessen the demand, and the lesser the
demand, the lower the price should be,
according to the law of "supply and
demand." And yet, possibly a "meat
strike" would only give temporary re-
duction in the high price of meat.
After all, lots of people would suffer
very little by a. reduction of their
meat consumption.
-Referring to the large number of
Americans who have gone to the Ca-
nadian Northwest, a United States
paper says :-"Is western Canada be-
ing .Americanized, or are the thou-
sands of sturdy young farmers and
stock -raisers who are going over the
line every year to make new homes.
being weaned from their flag and
country ?" Well, since you suggest it,
we guess it must be the latter, and the
reason is -they have found a better,
home in Canada; the proof is in the
fact that they are satisfied with the
change, and are inducing others to
follow them.

-The town of Brookline, Massachu-
setts, is said to be the best instance of
town government in America. Ben-
jamin F. Baker was city elerk for fifty
years, and the treasurer held office for
25 years. Brookline has a population
of 20,000, and has a simple form of
governulent by direct legislation in
which the voice of every voter is
heard, and the referendem principle is
employed. The town is said to be free
from graft in its government, and the
standard of intelligence is very high.
The best people are willing to give
their time, theught and energy to any
work of which the voters have ap-
proved.
-Quite recently the editor witness -
eclat: exciting five minutes. A young
man smoking a cigar in the sixth
•storey of a business block, threw the
stub of the cigar out of the window.
To the windows below ,were attached
awnings. First one caught fire, then
the one below, and so on, till the store
awning on the street was in a blaze.
The fire brigades were called out. As
one of the heavy teams was racing
with the, heavy engine around a cor-
ner, one of the horses slipped on the
paved street. Near the curb were
standing a costly automobile and elec-
tric buggy. Unable to stop, the heavy
engine forced the horses on to the
automobile, and they climbed right
into it totally destroying it,.' injuring
themselves and the electric buggy
next to It Total damage -several
awnings burned, some plate glass bro-
ken, a costly automobile wrecked, a
buggy damaged, two fine horses in-
jured -the damage running well up
into four figures. Only cigar stub
and a careless smoker; but in five
minutes the damage caused was up in
the thousands.

FORGER ARRESTED,
Prey. Constable VanNorman Arrests
Man Wanted At Walkerton.
A forger travelling under the name
of Otto Webber, and bearing a highly
flavored letter of credit from a Bann
in Toronto, struck Walkerton one clay
recently, and touched up the Cana-
dian Bank of Commerce there for
$500, In fact so rosy as Webber's
credit pictured by the Toronto Bank
that lie might easily have obtained
$3,000 had he cared to sign his name
for that amount. Not till sometime
after the event did the Bank know
they had been gulled, and in the
meantime the forger hit the trail and
got out. So marked is the resemb-
lance that those who claim to know,
say they can recognize in the forger
the feature of John Halter of Little
Germany, Waterloo Co., and he is
thought to. be none other than this
man. He is said to have been in pri-
son before for forgery, and about 4
year ago is reported to have attempt-
ed suicide by cutting his throat.
-While individuals and even Legis-
latures are investigeting the high
prides of many articles of food, the
question arises, "What are they going
to do about it?" True, if they find
that Trusts or rnonoplies Eire boosting
prices in Order to add to the fortune's
of "bloated millionaires" in the pack-
ing or provision business, there ought
to be some way of finding relief for
the burdened consumer. But is it not
a fact that part of the cause is the
large reduction of mat population
and the consequent increase of the
residents of cities. Those who flock
to the cities cease to be producers of
food -strafe, yet remain consumers.
Naturally, the lost number of food
producers, the lees peodneed, and gen-
erally there will follow an increase of

this decreased produetion, Increase

Halter landed in Wingham last Fris
day evening by the 7.36 train, and it
was not long before he was recognized
as the man wanted at Walkerton.
Prey. Constable VanNorman arrested
him and held the prisoner until Con-
stable Briggs of Walkerton arrived
and took him to the County Town.
When arreSted, Halter bad in his pos-
session bills of sale on land. deals in
Winnipeg and Cleveland, so it is not
unlikely that this gent has been oper-
ating in other places. He was in
Wingham a few weeks ago and tried
hard to get money from the Banks,
but the managers were all too smart
for him, and he failed. He also tried
in Teeswater and failed, but succeeded
in gulling the Walkerton Bank.
When arrested, he was minus the
moustache he formerly wore, and
there was also considerable change in
his attire.
WHO IS RIGHT ?
Te the Editor of The Advance:
Dear.Sir.-1 understand that Mr.
Gurney has issued a writ against Mr.
Pringle, forbidding him to manufac-
ture gloves and mitts. I, although an
uninterested party, felt enough Inter-
est in tide business to probe down into
details. Here they are ;-
We are all aware' that a few years
ago Messrs. Pringle and Groves rented
the then idle plant, Tannery es Glove
Factory, paying for same $600 rent
per annum, and business tax added
thereto, \After a year the partnership
was dissolved, Mr. Pringle assuming
full control, and eventually buying
tkhe whole plant, always employing at
least from four to ten girls in the

girl operators. When Mr. Gurney
rented the above there were in Mr.
Pringle's employ four first class oper.
eters. Mr. Gurney did not then, nor
has he since, paid any business tax to
the town.
All remember the fire when the
whole plant was destroyed. Mr.
Pringle was immediately approached
by some of the influential citizens,
Who requested him to rebuild. A
public Meeting VMS called, when Mr.
Pringle made the following offer :
That if the town would lend him $1000
at 4% for 'ten years, payable in ten
annual instalments, he would rebuild
the plant, the minimum being $7000,
giving the town the, and only mort-
gage. The by-law was duly submitted
and finally tarried, becoming law the

time for any ratepayer to protest the

On Monday afternoon of this week,
the death summons came very sud-
denly to one of our citizens, in the

chores. On Monday be was hearty

noon Was doing some work about the

Junior Leaguers at their concert
which Wari held. in the school -room of
the Methodist Church last Thursday
night, and. the entertainment wee of
such A clan as well merited. this gen-
erous patronage. The' performers,
many of whom would hardly reach to
one's knee, acquitted themselves so
charmingly that the only regret on
the part of the audience was that the
program was so short. Where every-
one did SQ well it would be difficult to
say Which was best, but special men-
tion might be made of "The Barnyard

were becomingly attired in Japanese
costumes. The proceeds which go to
the Mission Fund, amounted to MA.
Much credit is due to Miss Rutledge,
Miss Dulmage, and Miser Stewart, who
had the large part of the preparation
and burden of the entertainment on
their shoulders, and they may well be
congratulated on the success of their

Winghamites In California.
The editor of this paper and. his wife
bad a delightful visit recently with
Dr. and Mrs, Towler, formerly of this
town, They have a lovely borne in a
new residential section, about twenty
minutes ride by electric car from Los
Angeles centre, Dr. Towler said that
three years ago .that district was a
walnut ranch and garden; now it is
laid out with paved streets, cement
walks, park, and hundreds of residen-
ces. We judge it will be a very fine
and. valuable portion of the city.
There are at least two limitatiens in
the deeds of lots ;no land must be:
used for saloon purposes in that tract,
and no "shacks" must be erected. As
the houses are all set 25 ft, back from
the front of the lot, it makes the
streets look very neat. At Dr. Tow -
lee's the editor met Mr, Sohn Kerr of
Wingham, so there was a sort of re.
union, Mr. Kerr is much improved in
health, although then only five days
in California. The day spent at Dr.
Towler's was very enjoyable indeed.
Since then the editor had the pleasure
of showing Mr. Kerr the sights of
Pasadena, spending a very pleasant
day together, also enjoying a 20 mile
ride around the orange. groves in a
fine auto owned by Mr. Gem mill, ne-
phew of Mr. Hooey of Wingbam. In
Los Angeles also reside Mr. Duncan
Stuart and family, formerly of Wing -
ham, Mr. Stuart has a good perma-
nent situation. at $2.50 a 'day; one
daughter has a good situation in a de-
partmental store, and the younger
one is teaching at a salary of $80 a
month for ten months in the year.
They are all well and could not be
pail to leave California. In Los An
gales also is Mr. 3, G. Ross, formerly
of 13elgrave and Bluevale. He is a
brother of Mrs. Frank Paterson, and
is doing well here. Another Canadian
here is Mrs. David Stewart (sister of
Robt, Groves). They are apparently
in good circumstances also. Mont-
gornery Bros. (relatives of W. j. Greer)
have the largest jewelry establish-
ment in the city. The fittings alone
of their Immense shop cost $126,000.
Really it is wonderful how many Ca-
nadians are enjoying California life.
Though prizing the State that has
done so well for them, they still retain
kindly thoughts of the old home and
the land of the Maple Leaf.

Death Of Orrie Orr,
We regret to have to record the
death of a young man, formerly of
Winglartne, which took place at his
home near Teeswater on Thursday of
last week, in the person of Orrie Orr,
eon of the late Alex. Orr. Deceased
had been giving a young horse some
exercise, and at first it was thought
he had received a kick from the ani-
mal, as he was found with life extinct
in the barnyard with the whip in his
hand. However, no mark was found
on him, and as he was troubled with
his heart, it is supposed heart failure
caused his sodden demise. Deceased
was about twenty-six years of age,
and has been married only a few
months. His sudden and unexpected
death cast a gloom over the neighbor-
hood. How true it is, that "in the
midst of life we are in death."
