WINGTIAM„ ONT., TIIIIRSDAY, JUNE 16, 1910. $1,80 Pent TZAR uADVAleggs sas 8171315CRIPU°X $1.60 To 1517130010intliti IN XL 13. — SANCTUM PARAORAPHS. —Just think of it, Thursday, inch of June; only five days off the longest day of the year, and summer scarcely begin, it * * —It is a fect that tile late King died in barness, for thirty-six hours before he died he gave audienee to Lord Islington, the new Governor of New Zealand, and to Major T. B. Robinson, Agent General for Qaeensland. * —Dr. Ratherford, director-general of the Dominion veterinary depart- ment as to animal tuberculosis, is worth repeating. "Stamp out tuber- culosis in cattle, and very soon there will be no tuberculosis in human beings." —Hundreds of acres of land origin- ally grantea in Northern Ontario to veterans, have fallen into the hands of speculators, and regulations have been ignored. The Ontario Govern- ment acted wisely in cancelling the grants, where settlement regulations have not been complied with. * * * —A reminder of the Ross regime in Ontario's political history is the state- nient, that the then Administration actually granted to one of its members the right to cut hardwood in Algon- quin Park for thirty years, The own- er of the concession now values it at nearly one million dollars, and is in a position to say --"Well, what are you altP; going to do about it." Ontario's re- sources are being better husbanded now. * * * —Farmers from the United States are still being attracted to the Cana- dian Nothveest. Despatches from Winnipeg state that on June 9th, 780 homeseekers and land purchasers from the:States passed through that city, representing wealth amounting to one million dollars. It will not be long until the West will be the deter- mining factor in the political affairs of Canada. For many years, politi- cians have been -pandering to Quebec as holding the balance of power. The centre of gravity in population is changing, 'and it is well for Canada that it is. * * * —Dr. 3.'11. Kellogg of Battle Creek makes a statement that seems sweep- ing ; as he is a specialist, his words may be taken as a warning. He says :— "Physical degeneracyand chro- nic diseases are increaisng, and in- sanity has increased 100 per cent in fifty years. This is due to de- generacy originating from our manner of living. Only three wo- men out of four nurse their infants, owing to physical degeneracy, which makes it impossible, and 75 per cent of the bottle-fed babies die before they are a year old. The increasing use of tea, coffee, tobacco stela alcohol spells the end of a sape human race. * * * TOWN COUNCIL. s An adjourned meeting of the Town Council was held on Friday evening, 10th inst. ; all members present, ex- cept the Reeve, who was attendieg County Council. A petition was presented from the Western Foundry Co., et, al, for a six inch waterrnain ; referred to the Com- missioners, with request to proceed if properly signed. A communication was read from Oonernissioner J. A. Morton asking for lengthening of the term of water- worke debentures. On motion of Mc- Kibbon and Elliott, all waterworks debentures to run thirty years. Petition was presented for a sewer from John street to the Hospital; re- ferred to special committee. John Armour addressed the Council regarding damage done to his crop by horses belonging to Mr. Angus. By-law 606 was passed authorizing the borrowing of $5000 for current expenses. By-law 607 was passed appointing John Armour as Poundkeeper ; W. P. Grierson, Wm. Moore and Thomas Deans, Fenceviewers. —The first general election in Unit- ed South Africa will be held. in Octo- ber, This will give General Botha sufficient time to formulate his policy and also permit of the organization of an opposition. The population of these States is 5,471,490, of which only 1,188,750 are white. There are, how- ever, several nationalities to be con- sidered, but it is pleasing to hear, judging from the temporary cabinet Gets. Botha has chosen, that racial lines are not going to be arbitrarily drawn. The race question can do a lot of damage if allowed to work, and South Africa will do well to steer clear of it, * * * County Councils Fraternize. On Thursday last the County Coun- cils of Bruce, Huron and Perth had. a very pleasant social time together in Goderich. The gathering was the happy suggestion of Reeve Joynt of Lucknow, who with his characteristic energy and liberality chartered a special train from Lucknow to Gode- rich, taking the Bruce Council and about 200 guests. Itfi. Joynt does nothing in a half hearted way, and on the train, he treated the excursionists to oranges and other refreshments. The Highland Pipers' Berta accom- panied the -excursion. On arriving in Goderich, the Bruce Council was met by a committee of Huron Council with carriages, and headed by the Goderich Band proceed- ed to the Town Hall, where Warden Irwin extended the visitors cordial welcome, referring to the historical connection of the two Councils, and the fact that for ten years after the erection of the Court -house in Godes rieh, the Bruce Council had met there. Warden Crow replied on behalf of the visitors. After luncheon, the after- noon was spent in bowling, etc. —Itis the duty of the King to act solely upon the advice of his minis- ters. If he should take the initiative on any political question he would be breaking the constitution and in- terfering with the rights and liberties of Parliament. If the King felt that he ought not to act on the advice of the ministers in power, then those ministerts should resign, and the King would be obliged to call upon others who could get the consent of partite, matt to adopt such measures as the Ring advocated. But he would be a very tinveise Xing, wise would. under- take to go counter to the wishes of his cabinet if they had the confidence of Parliament. Charles the First ttied that and we all know the result. At 7 p.m., the Perth County Council arrived and were met with the Band and carriages. A banquet at the Brunswick followed, and after the good things were disposed of, a num- ber of excellent speeches were given, and thus closed a most pleasant inter- change of courtesies. Mr. Joynt certainly deserved the appreciation, which he received evi- dences of, but perhaps Ms greatest pleasure was to see so many others enjoying themselves. He is not a resident of Lucknow, but it seems that when they needed a real good Reeve, they went outside the village and found a man that "does things," and is a capital entertainer. The Editor of the Advance thanks Mr. Joynt for a kind invitation to join the excursionists, and Dr. Irwin for Banquet courtesies, both of which we were unable to accept, much to our regret.

The Scriptural oratorio, "Esther" the Beautiful Queen, was successfully rendered by local talent in the Opera Hall on Thursday evening, under the management of Prof. Cline, and. in aid of the funds of the Y.M.C.A.

The coauraes were appro, priate and the whole rendering credit- able to those who took part in it. The leading characters, Ahasuerus, Queen Esther, Haman, and Mordecai were naturally the most difficult, but their personation was excellent, Miss Mann as the beautiful Queen having perhaps the most difficult part, and doing it well. Mies. Stalker and Mr. Christie rendering excellent service as accompanists. The rendering is rather expensive on account of the costumes, etc., but there was a large attendance, and when all expenses are paid, about $50 will remain to assist the Y. M. C. A. in their work.

A quiet wedding took place on June 8th, at the residence of the' bride's brother, Luther A. Ball, Talbot street, Aylmer, wbere his eldest sister, Eliza- beth, was married to W. J. Edmond Scott, a prosperous merchant Aylmer. The bride was given away by her brother, Dr. Ball, of Toronto. The ceremony was performed by Rev. A. Walton Tonge, pastor of the Metho- dist church, in the presence of the immediate relatives. The house was tastefully decorated with fern d and cut flowers. After the wedding breakfast had been served, Mr. and Mrs. Scott drove to St. Thomas, from which city they left to spend a short honeymoon in western cities. On their return they will reside in Mr. Scott's residence, Talbot street west, which has just recently been remodell- ed. The bride's Wingham friends join in wishing her a very prosperous future. ---The Weekly Sun is an authority on cortmereial affaire, and its opinion given in its last week's !mine is worth noting. The lesson to be gleaned from the extract which we give bes low, may be expressea in one wotd— "Economy." The Sun tale The general cominercial eiturstion is, in eoine respects, not unlike that whieh preceded the eollapse of thas fall of 1007, Peeples in ities are living extraaagantly and general business activity, particularly along speeulative liner, has been pushed to such a, limit that signs are not wanting whiett indi- cate art approath of etringency in the money market. A bad crop season in America this year would be altogeth- er likely to bring about the same con- ditions that followed the short erop of 1907, if a good crop is reaped the danger maw he tided over, but in any ease it ecarcely seems pateible that the protient pace earl he kept up for any great length of tines With/set Wag met bi 0, scrims setback, drese.

For The Cabbage Worm, It may not be out of place at this season of the year to Tete the follow- ing, which we have selected. The cabbage worm is the caterpillar of the white baterfly wbich deposits its eggs frequently during the sunnner. Their destruction requires conetant at- tention. Persian insect powder dilut- ed with five times its bulk of flair or lime and dusted on the plants early in the morning, is one remedy. Hot Water at a tenhperature of 130 degrees is a good thieg and does not hurt the plants. Kerosene emulsion is an ex cellent remedy, if not used when the plants are too far advanced. Air -slak- ed lime, or road dust is said to be good. Paris green and heelebore are used, but should not after the had are half formed. A smell patch may be kept clean by picking the grubs off with a pair of small tweeeers. Xero- sane emulsion ie made as follows :— Hard soap, one-balf pound; boiling water, one gallon; kerosene, two gal- lons. Diseolve the soap in the water, remove front the fire, and add the kerosene. Agitate or amen this mit- tura 'violently for five or triOre InitallbeS with a pump until a perfect emulsion results. This is the "stoek solution."
