—Manitoba. provinciel elections were
held on Monday. The Conservatives
were again retorted, with about the
same strength es before. In the last
Legislature, the figures were 28 Con-
servatives, 13 Liberals ; present re.
sults show .20 to 12.

to prohibit moving pietures a the

—The South African Confederation
under Premier Botha gives evidence
of being loyal to 13ritain, and has
expressed a desire to participate in
defence of the Empire. The Premier
intimates that the new Confederation
will probably give a direct contribu.
tion to the Britieh nevy. The last
few years have brought about an
amaziug change in South Africa.

—Farm and Dairy, one of Ontario'e
agricultural papers, had on its front
cover last week, portraits of fifteen
farmers, who handle annually five mil-
lion dollars worth of business. They
are certainly a bright, basiness-look-
ing group of men, ad have made a
success of farming. Intelligence, in-
dustry and progressiveness will tell on
the farm, as well as behind the coun-
ter or in the office.
—Now here is a use for electricity.
It is said that eggs kept in cold
storage for a length of time have a
peculiar flavor, and it is claimed now
that by electrocuting the eggs the
natural fresh taste may be retained
and not removed when the eggs are
placed in cold storage. The eggs are
killed by placiag a metal cap on each
end of the egg and then throwing on
pressure of 500 volts.

—The following is the full text of
the regulations regarding moving
pictures as amended by the recent
Order -in -Council prohibiting the pro-
duction of prize fight pictures :—
"No exhibition shall be given on
the Lord's Day except in connec-
tion with religious services and by
permission of the Provincial Trea-
surer. No pictures of an immoral
obscene nature shall be shown or
exhibited, and any member of the
Ontario Provincial Police Force
shall have power to prohibit the
exhibition of any such picture or
any other objectionable picture."

—11Ir. Burke, R. traffic manager of
one of the lake boat lines, has inspect-
ed the wheat•growing sections of Al-
berta, Manitoba, and South Sask-
atchewan. He reports thus—"The
whole crop will not exceed 100,000,000
bushels this year. The damage caused
by drought and other things in Mani-
toba and Alberta will certainly -anat.
teract any increase from now on. In
spite of the 21 per cent. increase in
acreage the total crop will be 20,000,-
000 bashels behind that of last year.
Mr. Burke's interest in these things is
not svithoht reason, since his com-
pany handles a, considerable portion of
the wheat, the boats Carrying much
of it from the Fort William and Port
Arthur elevators to the seas.
SUCCESSFUL CELEBRATION OF THE GLORIOUS
TWELFTH IN ININGHIR
Ten Thousand Visitors—Forty-one Lodges In Line—A
Fine Procession—Showers Did Not Prevent
A Most Successful Celebration.
In vindleating the observance of I On returning to the Park, County
times and seasons of the past noted I Master Dane called the gathering to
order, arid Rev. R. Hobbs opened with
prayer. After a few words of wel-
come from the presiding Co. Master,
Mayor Holmes read an address of
welcome to the visitors. Mr. A. H.
Musgrove, 111.L.A„ was the first
speaker', and spoke with effect in his
usual good, common sense style, re-
ferring to tbe celebration, and bi.lin-
guial schools, which he said would
never be established in this pro-
vince.
for great events of wide -spread im-
portance, the historian Macaulay
said
"It is impossible not to respect
the sentiment which indicates it-
self by these tokens. It is a senti-
ment which belongs to the higher
and purer part of human nature,
and adds not a little to the
strength of states. A people
which takes no pride in the noble
achievements of remote ancestors
will never achieve anything wor-
thy to ba:remembered with pride
by remote descendants."
The battle of the Boyne in 1693 is
one of those events which comes with-
in the realm to which the great his-
torian referred in the above quotation,
for it brought religious freedom to a
nation, and hence was wide -spread in
its results, The central figure of the
conflict, William HI was a man
among men. Though torn by pain
and shaken by sickness, he had the
mind of a statesman and the soul of a
hero, encased in the body of an in-
valid. Cheerfully,he responded to the
call of the oppressed, and the victory
he achieved should be remembered by
all; for his victory at the Boyne gave
the death -blow to that fallacy khown
as the "Divine Right of Kings," ended
tyrannical rule, and advanced the
cause of religious freedom, a boon
now enjoyed by an.
The battle of the Boyne was fought
on July lst, 1690, old style of reckon-
ing. The Gregorian calendar publish-
ed in 1582 rectified the error in the
old calendar. It was adopted in Eng-
land in 1752, when eleven days were
omitted in computing dates. The
Battle of the Boyne is sometimes said
to have been fought July 1st, but by
the calendar correction, that date be-
came the Twelfth, and Orangemen
celebrate the victory on that day.

—The poor Czar of Russia, is unhap-
py again. He has heard, that his en-
emies contemplate flying • over his
palace in an air -ship and dropping
bombs upon his quiet abode in order
to end his career. His Majesty sum-
moned Premier Stolypin for immediate
consultation with regard to this new
peril. They called into conference
Baron Rextne, one of the pioneers
among Russian aeronauts, and asked
hien if it would be possible for any one
to let explosives fall from an airsbip
.izieuch a way as to blow up the palace
and theta escape. The 13aron frankly
admitted that guch a thing might hap-
pen. There upon the Czar coneingeld-
ed the Premier to abt with the Minis-
ter of justice in framing a law to cov-
ert the air. Evidently wealth, high
position, tot even imperial dignity
secure to the possessor absence a anx-
iety nor happiness.
Mr. Geo. Mooney of Ripley was the
next speaker, and referred to British
connection.
. Rev. W. Lowe or London opened
an excellent address very humorously,
and spoke more particularly on love
of country.
Col. Hugh Clark of Kincardine was
the nexb speaker; he spoke briefly
comparing Waterloo and Boyne; his
address indicated tbought and good
judgment.
Rev. R. Hobbs or Exeter spoke with
his cbaracteristic energy on the
possibilities of Canada, the Union jack
and the Canadian ensign.
The next speaker was Mr. Woods
of Dufferin 0o. he spoke with con-
siderable energy.
Rev. E. H. tdioly, B. A., closed the
program of addresses in a brief but
acceptable speeeh, and after singing
the national anthem, the audience
dispersed, in good time to escape the
shower that fell about. five p.m,
The local lodge spared neither effort
nor cash to make the celebration a
success. Large arehes spanned the
principal streets, decorated with ap-
propriate. mottoes. A strong com-
mittee had the celebration in band,
and were untiring in their efforts.
When the day was over and the last
visiting lodge had left for home, the
committee felt amply repaid for their
toil he the great success of the 1910
celebration.
The morning dawned with _threat-
ening clouds and •a shower of rain,
but at an early hour visitors arrived.
The first special brought Teeswater
lodge and Band. The Kincardine
special brought over 1200 people. A
second train of 15 cars on the C.P.R.
brought .visitors from Grand Valley
and intervening places. Other spe-
cials from Palmerston and Centralia
soon arrived, and then another dis-
appointing shower of rain fell, But
the weather cleared and until after
the speaking, the weather was fine.
Even the rain did not seem to dampen
the ardour or entlausiatm, or even
good.natnre, of the immeneeicrosvd.

--It has been decided thet Earl Grey
shall remain another year as Goverher
General of Canada, and no person, go
far as we know, has expressed any re-
gret. On the contrary, the Earl is
quite popular With Canadians. Per-
sonally we do not take meth stock in
this °evertor business; perhaps we
are too deneotratic, but as editor of
this paper, we have little use for the
ornaments, frippery, fiills and tiddle-
dy-winks of the einecure of the Gover-
nor General, or lAentertant.Goverriors
either. They appear to as 'eery much
like the Senate, mere for ornament
than use, and mighty expensive orna-
ments at that. Perhaps they are
necessary (seeing that we esa people
delight to be governed) and while It

Substitute For Cream,
Cream le generally regarded as a
luxury in tons. The following is
said to be an excellent and cheap sub-
stitute :—Taice a saucepan, rinse in
cold water to prevent the milk from
burning, then pour in one pint of milk
Lind place upon stove. Heat gently
until on the point of boiling. Draw
the pan oil the fire and add a well
beaten egg. Beat carefully for a few
minutes, then leave until cold.

son took place on Monday last. She

Mrs, Jas. Gibson, both of this town.
Mrs. Robertson was a member of the
Presbyterian church, and had reached

Why Not Tell It?
Never growl because a newspaper
fails to give every scrap of news, so
long as you take no trouble to give
the editor or reporter information.
We know readers who are awfully put'
out at times because we make no
note of their arrival or departure, or
those visiting them, or of their social
affairs, or tile heaven-sent babies tbat
visit their homes. The average news-
paper man isn't a mediumn or a mind
reader, and in most oases it is not his
fault if items do not appear,
The Way To Float.
Here is the advice of an old swim-
mer to those who cannot swim :—Any
human being who will have the pre-
sence of mind to clasp the hands be-
hind his back and "turn the face to-
ward the zenith may float at ease and
in perfect safety in tolerably still
water. When you fleet find yourself
in deep water you have only to con-
sider yourself an empty pitcher. Let
your mouth and nose and not the top
of your heavy head be the highest
part of you and, you are safe. But
thrust up one of your bony hands
and down you go; turning up the
handle tips over the pitcher."
We Are Sorry.
Why? That the Advance has had to
send a few Recounts, long past due, to
be collected. It is not our fault, The
parties were notified again and again.
We are getting another batch ready,
There is no sense in letting subscrip-
tions run two or three years unpaid,
when 25c will pay for three months.
When the account is sent in for col-
lection, the full credit price of $1.50
per annum is charged. Perhaps this
reminder may help a few delinquents
to pay up a,nd save added expense,
which we always try to avoid. Be
Quick.
The Crop Outlook.
A drive through the country just
now is most pleasurable. The crops
are looking well. We have seen some
fields of fall wheat that should give
thirty-five bushels to the acre. Oats
and barley are fine; hay is an abun-
dant crop. There are also some fine
fields of flax. Recent rains will de-
velop the potataes and roots. It
seems to be an off year for fruit, but
other products of the farm promise
well, and there are indications of
plenty of food for man and beast.
For these things we ought to be
thankful.
Misplaced Commis.
A comma is a very little thing, but
if misplaced, they very much alter the
sense, and sometimes spoil it alto-
gether, as the following sentence will
show :—"Lord Palmerston then enter-
ed upon his head, a white hat upon
his feet, large, but well polished boots
upon his brow, a dark cloud in his
hand, his faithful walking stick in
his eye, a dark menacing glare saying
nothing." Sone° of our public school
pupils might re -write this sentence,
properly placing the conaneae.
A Father Gone.
Mrs. Wm. Fryfogle of Shuter street
attended the funeral of her father on
Wednesday of last week. The de-
ceased, itir, John McKenzie, had been
a respected resident of the 41h of
Culross for over forty years. He was
a native of Rossshire, Scotland, and
came to Canada in 1935, with his wife
and four children. Four sons and
five daughters survive him, besides his
life partner. Mr. A. D. McKenzie,
editor of the Teeswater News, is 011e of
the sons. He was a staunch Presby-
terian, well-informed on general mat-
ter and topics of the day. He had
beet in failing health for two years,
She cause being an internal tumor.
He was in hie 78th year.
Wins Gold Medal.
Miss Myrtle Pearl McIvor of St.
Thomas a daughter of Mr. end Mrs.
McIvor (formerly of Wingham) re-
cently won the gold, medal at Alma
Ladies' College, taking first class hon-
ors- in piano, technique, harmony, his-
tory and history essay; also second
class honors in theory and choral.
The St. Thomas Times speaks vert
highly of the program given by the
graduates and add:—
"The piano solos—Valse in D flat
Moskqkowshi, Nocturne number 15
(Chopin), and Hungarian Rhapsody
number 12 (Liszt), were executed by
Miss McIvor in excellent member,
while her brilliant rendering of—Men-
delsshon's concerto for piano and or-
chestra in G minor earned for this
talented musician much applause."
Heavy List Of Crime.
Those who figured that the small
population in the county jail was
proof positive that clime i8 on the
decrease in Bruce county, will prob-
ably open their eyes wide in die -
appointment when they view the List
Convictions as issued for the last
quarter. The list is the heaviest and
blackest in years, and is pregnant
with fines &elected and penalties in-
flicted for drunkness, assaults, thefts,
porfane and insulting language, carry-
ing pistols and fighting on streets,
playing ball on Sunday, giving liquor
to minors, obtaining money under
false pretenses, vagrancy, disorderly
condi:Let and so on down the list, mak-
ing a calendar of crime, as startling
for quantity as it is remarkable for
variety. In all, the past three months
has been a legal harvest, a,nd the
balm& county of Ontario has paid a
heavy toll for crime.—(Bruce Times.

ther, a change came on Saturday

Children's Aid Society.
It is worthy of the support and
endorsation of public men, Crown
officials, clergymen, philanthropic
societies and all classes in the coin-
neunity. It aims to prevent neglect
and abuse, homelessness and destitu-
tion, in the childworld. Can you do
anything to help forward so worthy
a movement ? The Children's Pro-
tection Act was passed by the Ontario
Legislature in. 1893. Prior to that
time there was no law by which a
child could be legally removed from
immoral or cruel guardianship. The
,Ontario system aims at a union of
government, municipal and local
philanthropic effort. The head office
at Toronto is Under the direction,. of
Mr. J. j. Kelso, but most of the work
is done by benevolent persons and
organizations. There are sixty Child-
ren's Aid Societies in the Province at
the present time in addition to com-
mittees and correspondents represent-
ing -an active philanthropic force of
several hundred. Additional workers
wanted.
Get After The Weeds.
?Every farmer owes it to himself
and to his neighbor to see to it that
no injurious weeds are allowed to
make headway on his farm, The
chief source of weed dissemination is
through tile seeds. Nature seems to
have endowed weeds with many facil-
ities for spreading their kind over the
country that pleas useful to man
have not got. Why this is the case
we do not know, but the fact remains,
and weeds neglected end allowed to
produce ripenend seed are no respec-
ters of farms. They will lodge on the
well tilled farm as well as on the
poorly tilled one, arid begin to prop-
agate their species and gain strength
for further expansion. Thier it is that

kept in cheek melees every farmer

The sewer contractors are now
through the hardest part of the route,
so far as depth is concerned. On Sat-
urday last they had crossed Scott
street, where the cutting, had been

banks to cave in, the depth made the
work there rather slow. It is expect-
ed that greater progress will be made
now.

Milton Homuth of Toronto was at
one time a valued member of the Citi-
zens' Band, and the fact that he sends
the Band a couple of selections of
music every year, indicates that he
still has a warm spot in his heart for
that organization. This year's contri-
bution came to hand last vseek. It is
unnecessary to say that Milton's
thoughtfulness is fully appreciated by
the Band.

A. II.,Musgreve, M. L. A., returned
on Wednesday evening from a trip to
the Northwest, going as far as Cal-
gary. He noted the rapid develop -
tient of the Vi/est and met rnaty
aequaintances of former days. The
heat and dry Weather has itjerionsly
affected the crop out -look, and will
reduce the expected yield, bet the
Westerters have had several bumper
crops, and wilt tot euffer if this year's
yield is less than Usual. Enterprise,
development, and capital are doing
wonders for the Northwest.
