—Canada has a vastly greater area
in wheat this year than last. Yes,
Canada is the granary of the
Empire.
* * *
—The question of the formation of a
new county out of parts of Welling-
ton and Glrey, is again to the front.
These counties are too large to be con-
venient, Fergus aspires to be the
county town, and Mt, Forest also has
ambitions in that direction.
* *
—Chicago is a large city ; there is
much that is good in it; but much
more that is bad. The city has 7,155
saloons, 903 pool-roonas, 332 cheap
theatres, 266 dance halls, 486 disorder-
ly houses, with 1,602 inmates. These
figures are taken from a recently issu-
ed report, and gleaned by the Record -
Herald,.

—The Manitoba Legislature has
been dissolved, and the provincial
elections will be held July 11th, nom-
inations a, week earlier. The indica-
tionare that the Conservatives, who
have given the province good govern-
ment, will be returned to power.
We might say that itis hot weather
for an election campaign, and we hope
the candidates will make their speech-
es short these hot evenings.

—There are numerous examples of
Canadians living to a great age, and
retaining full use of their mental
faculties, and even filling positions of
honor and responsibility. One case
recently noted is that of Judge
Hughes of St. Thomas, who is in his
Olst year, and yet presided at the
opening of the sessions in that city on
June 141h. The statement has been
made that there is no similar event in
either the Canadian or even the Bri-
tish judiciary. At the .age of 91,
Judge Hughes is in excellent health
and appears likely to live for a good
many years yet.

—Sincerely do we hope that Cana-
da will never have one law for the
rich and another for the poor. If a
poor man offends the law he goes to
jail, but if a rich man renders himself
guilty he is in many cases so provided
for that he gets off scot-free. An
English immigrant in Ottawa the
other day was sent to jail for stealing
three cents worth of soap from a
hotel, but so far no proceedings have
been taken against Bevan, a broker,
who has suspended payment, and his
▪ clients have suffered to the extent of
$125,000, The moral seems to be—do
it big, and you will get off. - A
dangerous lesson to teach by the
administration of "justice."

—President Ripley of the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe railway, one of
the best transcontinental roads in the
United States, predicts that before
long the Government will take over
the railways of that country, and it is
said. that railway organizations are
consulting with each other regarding
such an event. personally, we see no
reason why Governments should not
as successfully manage railways as
they do the post office system. Both
in Canada and the States, there are
few complaints regarding the pest -of-
fice. Business is done promptly, cor-
rectly and with general satisfaction,
indeed, far better than as if done by a
number of private parties or even
companies. Why not extend the sys-
tem to railways? Possibly one of the
objections is that it would unduly ex-
tend the patronage evil. Another is-
-that it would increase the oppor-
tunities for a government's reckless
expenditure, and afford the grafter an
enlarged field. But at heart the peo-
ple are honest, and will yet demand
unswerving honesty of administration,
Control of railtvays by Government
would abolish the bonus nuisance, and
as in the postal service, give the public
the lowest rates possible with good
service. If Government controlled
the railways, there would be some
prospect of relief to the long-suffering
public, from the unmerciful monopoly
and high rides of express companies,
from which business men suffer at
present.
Canada Is Big.
Canada is synonymous svith bigness.
It is three thaws larger than the
United States, including Alaska; it
would make thirty Great 13ritains ; it
is emus' to one-third the entire Brit -
nth Empire and almost the size of all
Europe. Out of an area of nearly
4,000,000 equate talks close to 1,000,000
are yet unexplored. It it often saki of
the 'United States that with 85,000,000
population, they are still young.

The enterprising pastor of South
Park Methodist Episcopal church,
Chicago, recently demonstrated to
business men the value of a newspaper
column saber' it is desired to increase
patronage. St. Lawrence Chandler,
the reverend. gentleman in question,
some time ago advertised for lonely
Christians to come to his church and
was rewarded with forty-five replies.
Twenty-five of the writers gave him
the glad hand after services the Sun-
day following the appearance of the
advertisement.

o'clock on the morning of May 30, and
at six o'clock the evening chimes on
other churches throughout town were
rung to announce the completion of
the building. The Rev. Mr. Turner,
pastor of the church, conducted mem-

Changes Are Many.
Talking with Mr. A. Omens re,
cently, he remarked that in the past
twelve years, forty-eight men who
aid. business in Wingham on the
main street, have crossed the death
line, and are numbered with those
who are gone from. our rnidst. Truly,
life has its changes. Is it not like the
optical toy known as the kaleidoscope,
that at every turn of the tube, pre-
sents a different view ?
Firemen's Contest.
There will be a contest b'etw'een the

Josephine streets and run to the park,
attach the hydrants and lay three
lengths of hose, and throw water.
Tlae race will take plaee at twenty
minutes to eight on Tuesday evening,
June 28. There will be some hustling
on both sides, as neither is anxious
to be beaten in the race.
Strawberry Shortcake.
As the season for the delicious berry
is at hand, the following may be use-
ful :—The simpler the. forea of the
cake the more delicious will be the
result. For plain shortcake make it
sweet biscuit dough. Roll out about
an inch thick, ant in equates or
rounds, and bake like biscuits. When
taken from the oven, break each
biscuit open (never cut), and heap
with crushed, sweetened berries.
Serve with whipped cream. Another
way is to roll the dough thinner and
bake in two layers, one on top of the
other, with butter spread between.
When baked they can be eaelly taken
apart and berries placed between and
on top of the layers, with whipped
cream.
Celebration July 12th.
Bills have been issued for the cele-
bration of July 12th in Wingham, and
every effort will be made by the local
lodge to make the celebration a great
success, Six years ago, the line of
march was, from the park along Al-
fred street, by way of Shutter to Vic-
toria, to Josephine street, and back to
the park; even then all the lodges
were not out of the park when the
first had re-entered after the march.
on this account the route is a little
longer, and will be as follows :—Leav-
ing the park about 1.30, east along
Alfred street to Shuter ; south along
Shuter to John street; east on John to
Frances; south along Frances to Dia-
gonal; along Diagonal to Victoria till
Josephine is reached, -thence north-
ward to the park. Evers, citizen is
requested to assist the committee in
decorating the town, so that Wing-
hatn may look her very best, and we
are sure residents of our town will do
their best to entertain the thousands
of visitors expected. The C.P.R, has
set a laudable example in already
sending train schedule and fares from
Teeswater, Grand Valley and inter-
mediate stations, and word is expect-
ed soon from the G.T.R. The local
lodge No. 794, is spending from $400
to $500 to make this the best celebra-
tion Wingham has ever had, and they
will appreciate the hearty co-opera-
tion of all the citizens,
Sad Drowning Accident.
A very sad event cast a gloom over
an otherwise bright and cherry morn-
ing, on Sunday last. About nine
o'clock, a number of young men went
down to the river for a morning bath,
and among them was J. A. Ritchie,
who conducted a barbering business
in McKenzie'sblock. He was swim-
ming aeross the river, and was heard
to can out for help, but regaitied his
feet and got safely to the other side.
After resting, he started to return,
and when part way across was seen to
go down. Prank Holynia,n and Har-
vey Armour went out to his assist-
ance, and the former was nearly drag-
ged down also. Viaable to save him,
his eompanions summoned help as
rapidly as possible, and Frank Angus
'came quickly to their assistance and
recovered the body. A physielan was
Bemired, but all efforts to resuscitate
the young man failed. Mr. Ritchie
came here from Brussels; he made
many friends, was generally respected, and was succeeding nicely in his
business. What makes the affair atilt
naore sad, is, that he was married only
a few months ago to Mize Bowen of
Etrusselsa who is pluaged into deepest
grief at so sudden a bereavement.
Deceased was In his 21th year. The
body was taken to 13tusse1s on Mon-
day, and interment will take place
on Friday afternoon. Heart failure
is thought to have beeto the Cause of
death, This is the fourth dro4ning
ac-
eident On the Maitland here within
four years, and all baro oecurred on

of sixteen drowning aceidents that
have been reeorded in this vicinity,

Another Destroyer.
Another worm pest has made ite
appearance near Walkerton. The
Telescope says :—Mr, Hoover has lost
several acres from its devastations
while some of his neighbors have had
to plow up sonse of their grain. The
whole grub is the larvae of the June
bug which lays its eggs among the
tufts of grass in the hay fields and
pasture land. The first year it does
very little damage, but the second
year it comnsences feeding upon the
roots of the grass and grain so that
they are completely destroyed. .Its
work is said to be as destructive as
that of the wire worm.
A Lucknow Wedding. •
A quiet, but snetty wedding took
place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. D.
R. McIntosh, Lucknow, when their
only daughter, Maigaret Alberta
(Birdie) was married to Mr. J. B.
Clark of the Bank of Hamilton, South-
ampton. The bride, who was unat-
tended, was given away by her father
and wore a dress of cream messaline
satin and carried a bouquet of bridal
roses, the only ornament being it pearl
necklace, the gift of the groom. Mrs.
Berry of Mount Forest played the
"Wedding March." Mr. and Mrs.
Clark left on their honeymoon for To-
ronto and eastern points on the after-
noon train, The bride wore a naval
blue suit with Tuscan shirt waist and
hat to match.
Fruit Prospects.
According to the Stratford Herald,
fruit prospects in that vicinity are as
follows :—Notwithstanding the heavy
frosts of late, the fruit, crop here-
abouts does not seem to have been
materially affected by it. In early
apples such as red astrachans and the
Duchesse both show an enormous
yield. Fall pippins an average crop.
Snow apples and russets are very
heavily loaded, and so are the green-
iisgs. This being the off-year for spies
they will not be according to the
bloom, more than half a crop. Cher-
ries show well and will be a good crop.
Plums, late bloom, are heavily load-
ed. Small fruit such as raspberries,
currants and gooseberries also present
a good showing.

A Good Member.
Mr. 0. J. Wilcox, M. P. for North
Essex, who won such it decided -victory
in North Essex, is a brother-in-law of
Mr. J. A. Mills of Wingham. We re-
cently came across a sketch of Mr.
'Wilcox and reproduce it, for the more
men like him among our legislators,
the better it would be for Oanada
"Mr. Wilcox is an enthusiast, and
when he speaks he carries conviction.
Everybody likes Mr. Wilcox. He is
kind and unassuming, and patently
honest. He believes that his mission
at Ottawa is to do something tangible
for the people at large, and particular-
ly for those of his own constituency,
If the people whom he considers it his
duty to help are poor, so much the
better is he pleased, and so much the
harder does he work. The work
which men of the type of Mr. Wilcox
do cannot be overestimated. They
are obviously in earnest and all the
money of a rich corporation like the
railway companies could not buy them.
They have no other interests to serve
than the good of the people, and they
end by accomplishing this good. .A1,3
politicia,ns go Mr. Wilcox is a young-
ster, and he is boyish in many ways.
He is a, warm favorite with Mr. R. L.
Borden."
PortysFourth Report.
The 44th annual report of -Wing-
ham Methodist Church has been dis-
tributed among the members, and
lays the affairs of the Church plainly
before congregation. During the year
there were 42. removals and 13 deaths;

ly ORM offerings amounted to
$1520.77; pew rents, $523.20; loose

Sunday School Excursion.
BMs will be issued this week an-
nouncing the annual excursion of
Wingham Sunday Schools, and Kin -
towline Is again the lakeside town,
where the schools will gather. Some
desire for a new point was manifest,
but the town of Kincardine has al-
ways treated its visitors well; it is
easy of access, and the low fare need
be no barrier. Give the children a
day at the lakeside. Thursday, July
21st, is the date chosen, and that day
according to custom will no doubt be
Civic holiday.
High School Board.
At a meeting of this Board on Mon-
day evening, Principal Workman
was re-engaged at an increased salary
of $100, making $1400, Mr. J, 0,
Smith received an increase at New
Year and is re-engaged at $1200.
Miss Baird's salary was increased to
$850, and 1Vliss Anderson's to $650,
Mr. Forbes, we understand, has deeid-
ed not to remain in Winghaan, The
High School rate will be the same this
year as last (2 mills) but it is not likely
that it can be held at that figure
another year. The holidays are now
near at hand; teachers and pupils are
looking for an enjoyable vacation,
Pleaded Guilty.
Bert Wylie was before Police Magis-
trate Morton on Tuesday, on a charge
of attempted assault on Mrs. Chas,
Rintoul. He pleaded guilty, and was
sentenced to one month in Goderich
jail, and to pay Mrs. Rantoul $4.60 ; in
default of paying that amount, anoth-
er month in the castle. Constable
Phippen accompanied him to Gode-
rich. It is a pity to see boys like Bert
grow up without being able to read,
and with no settled occupation, for it
is as true to day as in the past, that
"Satan finds sionte mischief still for
idle bands to do." There is a good
work for some person or Society to
take this boy, and help him upward if
possible, and teach him to be a good
citizen.
June Wedding.
At Fern Cottage, Lake Couchiching,
on May 25th, the marriage of Ada
Irene McBain took place to Dr. 3. G.
Roberts of Edmonton, Alta, The
wedding gown of white silk ripple
crepe was trimmed with Irish lace and
seed pearls, and the veil was caught
up by a string of pearls worn by the
groom's grandmother at her wedding.
The bride carried a shower boquet of
lily -of -the -valley, and wore an ame-
thyst and pearl brooch, the gift of the
groom. After a short stay in Ontario,
during which time they visited at Mr.
W. H. Cruikshanks, Wbaghana, Dr.
and Mrs. Roberts left for their home
in Edmonton. Dr. Roberts will be
remembered by many here, as he
spent a summer in Dr. Irwin's office
O few years ago. Benson Cruik-
shanks, a cousin of the groom, attend-
ed the wedding.
Confirmation Service.
The Rt. Rev. Dr. Williams, Lord
Bishop of Huron, visited St. Paul's
church on Monday evening, when
nine candidates received the Holy
Apostolic rite of Confirmation. Al-
though the weather was extremely
oppressive, a .good congregation was
present and thoroughly enjoyed the
forceful and practical sermon deliver-
ed by flis Lordship. After referring
to a like occasion when each com-
municant had come to Confirmation,
he dealt with the meaning of Confir-
mation. First, as to what God did
for us therein. God's favor was con-
firmed to usrand also the forgiveness
of our sins through Jesus Christ,
God confirmed our resurrection and
the coming of the Holy Ghost. These
were the things that counted, when
We each took our natrow place in
death. Then wealth or inane or pleas-
ure would be of no avail. In the
second place, each ofte confirmed must
meet these blessings which Goa con-
firms, by fulfilling certain require-
ments. He mutt renounce the deVil,
who works through the mind and
heart, and the minds and hearts of
those around us. Once more the
pomp and vanities of the world are
to be given up. As an instance, the
speaker mentioned the tens of thou-
sands of dollars spent in following the
fashions. As to the articles of the
Christian faith, he warned his hearers
how these Were Weakened by the ex-
planations given by some. Beware of
these ekplanations which do away
with our faith. The last requisite
was to keep God's vsill and eommatd-
trients. In keeping these we mutt,
look at the spirit and not simply the
letter. For instenee no one in this
church would likely steed, but were
VIC always easeful to work to the full
our ten hours if SO employed, and not
steal Oise or two by idleness, Are the
goods we sell what We recommend, or
are We stealing by false representa-
tions, If you follow these require.

Foresters At Church.
The members of Court 505 (Wing -
ham) Independent Order of Foresters,
attended service in the Baptist church
on Sunday morning last, along with
visiting brethren. The pastor, Rev.
W. L. Steeves, gave a good practical
address from lst chapter James, 271h
verse—"Pure religion and undefiled
before God and the Father is this, to
visit the fatherless and the widows in
their affliction, and to keep himself
unspotted from the world." On their
return to the Court room, a resolution
appreciative of Mr. Steeves' sermon
was passed.
Other Successful Students.
Since our report two weeks ago, fur-
ther results of the University examin-
ations have been published, and we
note the following :—Miss Irene Davis
stood first in third class honor list in
English and Moderns, with Miss
Muriel Duncan (forruerly of White-
church) second on the same list,
Thos, E. Robinson and Cliff. Pugh
carried second class honors in Science,
while Miss Gertrude Cruikshank and
Robt. McBurney passed the examin-
ation successfully. The Advance con-
gratulates these young students, and
has no doubt of their success in future
tests.
