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. * * * —The Ontario Government has amended the police reginatione so as to prohibit moving pietures a the Johnsten—Teirries fight Right think- ing people will approve of their action. No good, but harm could result from placing. the disgusting details! of the maul before the public. * * * • —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 18 the rule to Mee a, Governor to ot. cnpy Rideau Hall and have a good time at the country's expense, why Earl Grey can do the honors .as well as any one else.

On the Twelfth, a three year old son of John Ainsbury's was playing near some horses, when one of them kick- ed, striking the little fellow a slanting blow on his head, The child was knocked senseless, and the rumor spread that he was killed. Dr. Red. mond was summoned, and the child is now doing nicely, though consider- ably bruised. Married in Winnipeg. A former young lady resident of town (Miss Sarah Stewart) was mar- ried on June 29th in St. Stephen's cburch, Winnipeg, to Mr. H. Hamil- ton, formerly of Hamilton, Ont, Rev. Dr. Gordon (Ralph Connor) performed the marriage ceremony. The bride received many presents, among them, a cabinet of silverware from the T. Eaton Co., and a set of Linaoges china from the lady clerks in her depart- ment. Mr. and Mrs. 11a,milton will reside at 572 Beresford Ave., Fort Rouge, Winnipeg. The bride's Wing - ham friends extend congratulations. NOTES OF THE DAY. —Wingham put on her gala attire. —Tents and restaurants gathered in the nickels. The "veterans" of '791 were furnis- hed with a carriage. —Weir Elliott on his pretty pony led the Wingham lodge. —No room to spare in the Park, when the crowd gathered there. —An orderly, well-behaved, respect- eble gathering of over ten thousand people. —The Twelfth has not lost its popu- larity. Rein or shine, the crowds greet it. • —The "goat" was Well-behaved in the procession, and seemed to know his place. —A. successful celebration ; forty. one flags and banners were seen in the procession. —Wingham is the place to hold a celebration of My 12th ; hither the crowds come up. —Mayor Holmes was on the look- out for fraud games, and the police report a clean day. —No. 701 was spoken of as the "swells." It is said they dia look fine. Ethel lodge came second in appear- ance, —rive arches spanned the main Street, and one Welcomed the visitors near the C.P.R. ; all had appropriate mottoes. —Chief Allen and Lis assistants re- port no trouble whatever; nothing done worthy of arrest, In one or two eases, a word front the police was suf- ficient. • —Some of the Lodges marched past the hornet of disabled Bro. Lougheed, and the bands Went up and played for him. He was not forgotten in his af- fliction. 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. Past Four Score. The funeral of the late Mrs. Robert- son took place on Monday last. She was born in Fifeshire, Scotland, and• came to Canada over forty years ago. She resided in East Wawanosh for many years and about six years ago came to reside with her daughter, Mrs. S. Young of Wingham. She leaves one son, William of Nanton, Alta., (formerly of Wingham) also two daughters, Mrs. S. Young and Mrs, Jas. Gibson, both of this town. Mrs. Robertson was a member of the Presbyterian church, and had reached the advanced age of 88. 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. Barns Burned. After three weeks of dry, hot wea- ther, a change came on Saturday evening, whet a thunder storm broke over this vicinity. On Sunday morn- ing end again in the afternoon heavy showers fell, watering the thirsty earth ancl refreshing everything green. The electricity accompanying the storm did. damage, Alex. Vorgiefr of the 011 of Turnberry, had his barn on the old jobb homestead boned. In it were about ten tons of hay and 200 bushels of oats ; insurance $1000, A driving house belonging to Geo. Naylor, near Fordyce, was struck ansi destreyed, but we dtd tot hear the amount of the loss or insures:ice. An- other blaze was noticed in the direc- tion of Teeswater, The lightning Was very sharp for about an hour. —The Ideal lodge looked well in blatk coats and pants, white vests and gloves, silk hate, and canes, Wor. Master Greer looked rimed of his lodge. —Among the editors present, We totieed--13ro'e. Modney of Ripley, Invitee arid Clatk of Kincardine, Watters of Fordwich, ared MeKenzie of Teesseeter. —Ten thousand is a very moderate estimate of the number of visitors, and so far as we have heard, none had to go without dinner, and all were provided for. —Few of the speakers could make. themselves beard throughout the net seseembly.

Greer'S (sole agent.) 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 weed in any neighborhood cannot be kept in cheek melees every farmer takes a hand in the game and prevents the spread of Weeds from his own farm. A ettrefully planned weed eampaign with every farmer ea. operating, would in a comparatively short time rid the country of a great deal or damage eaused by eveed pests, Some of the more pernicious- Weede soda as the perennial aorv thistle spread both by seeds and by the roots.

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 over 16 feet. Aside from the extra work caused by the tendency of the banks to cave in, the depth made the work there rather slow. It is expect- ed that greater progress will be made now. Miss Nora.
