—A eat rained at $1,000 was on ex-
hibition at the Toronto fair. When
we come to`think of it, tlae hard cash
woul1 be more useful to us than
the cat.
* * *
—We have heard men grumble at
paying $2 50 an hour for an automo-
bile, but that is nothing to the tariff
rate of two hundred and fifty dollars
an hour for an air-ehip rental, and
that rate has been paid.
* * *
—It is now proven that -messages
can be sent from a flying machine in
the air and a station on the ground,
by mean e of wireless telegraphy.
That being the case, daily newspapers
will soon be reporting all that goes on
above us, in a separate column from
local oe foreign news.

—Surely never in history has the
general who had laid siege to a town
as an enemy, returned ten years later
to solicit the political suffrages of the
inlaabitants as the premier of the
country, which their troops had con:
(moved. Yet that is actually the case
of the Right Hon. Louis Botha.

—"Silence is golden" is often but
not always true. There are two oc-
casions, however, when it is wise not
to say much. The one is when your
mouth is full, and the other when
your bead is empty. If (unfortunate-
ly) both of these should happen at the
same time, take warning and say no-
thing, until you fully recover.

—The Dominion Parliament will
assemble on November 10. Now the
pop -guns, air -guns, and big guns will
begin to prepare their ammunition.
Now the dear old Senators evil' stroke
their whiskers, rub their rheumatic
limbs, and scratch their bald beads, in
order to go through the ceremony of
appearing to earn their $2500.00
indemnity,

—The Farmers' Advocate voices its
opinion thus :—"The public school has
long been used as a Bort of donkey -
engine to make up select trains for the
High School, while the vast majority
of the youth are educationally side-
tracked. Sir James Whitney declares
for 'a policy in the Ontario Depart-
ment of Education that will dethrone
the High School Entrance examin-
ation idol, and give the public school
a status worthy of the name.
Right !"

--During the two weeks of Toronto
Exhibition, the Union Station officials
handled 744,000 people, 2,118 trains
and about 12,000 pieces of baggage,
without an accident. The increase of
traffic proves to the railways, the
necessity of increased hccommodation,
Last year the staff at the Union sta-
tion handled one million eight hun-
dred thousand pieces of baggage and
expect to go over the tsvo-rnillion
mark this year. This is more than is
handled at the three stations ' in
Montreal.

- —There is an increased interest
throughout Canada in the peat in-
dustry, as a result of the annual meet-
ing of the Peat society in Ottawa in
July and the establishment of a
Canadian Peat society. Mr. A. J.
Forward, secretary of the society,
has received a number of letters from
people interested in the industry,
seeking to join the organization. One
letter announces that peat has been
tested from a bog at Maitland, not far
from Brockville, and found satisfac-
tory. .The result is that a large plant
will be installed.

—How is it that, notwithstanding
all the agencies for good, crime is re-
ported increasing even in favored On-
tario ? Sadder still is it to hear that,
while Sunday Schools were never
nacre active ined efficient, yet juvenile
offenders are increasing in numbers.
Crown Attorney McItillop of Middle-
sex, Ont., said recently :—
"The situation is the worst I have
ever known in my experience and the
juvenile court and children's aid week
are ineffective in that boys have learn.
ed not to fear the light sentences irn-
posed."
,Mte McKillop recommends the lash, as
the only' probable effective means,
Some means must be devised or Pave -
idle offenders will in a fete years
become confirmed criminals. The
lash LIS given in prison to -day is fear-
ed, and might prove a deterrent, It
might be worth While to try it as an
experiment,

.One After Another,
The Gerrie Vklette says:—"That
troubles never emnis singly is borne
out by the sad experience of Mrs.
Frank Clegg. Jost a few weeks ago,
Mr, Clegg died, Then followed the
pretracted aid gerious illness of Nor-
man, her stepson, and on Thursday
last, her brother, Mr, Rush of Wing -
passed away. Surely her cup of
sorrow seems to be full to overflow-
ing. In it all she Inv had the sincere
sympathy of her many friends,"

Morton of Wingham, Secretary -

Sunny Alberta,
Mr. W. L. Smith of Taber, Alberta,
writes to the Advance thus: "Dear
Editor—Seeing in your issue of Aug.
13, a few lines concerning Mr. Flack's
opinion of "Sunny Alberta," I should
like to know where he settled. It
must have been in a locality where
they were most unfortunate, for in
this locality, crops are far ahead of
Mr. Flack's estimate, and that is not
saying much, Here, Mr, J. W. Smiley
threshed 1,500 bushels of wheat off 175
acres, That is a very small yield
compared with Int year, but if Mr.
Flack can tell us .of another country
that can grow even that, with less
than three inches of moisture in
fifteen months, (both rain and snow
fall) we shall be pleased to hear of it.
No doubt stock men in localities
where it has been burnt over have to
go to the foot -hills to get grass. I feel
sorry to hear that Mr. Flack lost his
cattle, but most men who have had
experience with prairie bay, if it is
well -saved, prefer it to the best timo-
thy. Like Mr. Flack, I would like to
see my Wingham friends once more,
but not to take land there. I would
advise him to hold his land. another
year, and see what it will do for WM.
I think no man will make a mistake
in investing a few thousand dollars in
this great wealth -producing country.
Yours truly—W. L. Smith,
C. Lloyd te Son.
Owing to two unavoidable delays,
0. Lloyd & Son find it will be too late
to build tho proposed new factory this

Telephone Business In Wingham,
Telephone business in this town
shows a healthy development, and
Wingham shows up well in compari-
son with other towns of the same size.
Two years and a half ago, there were
only 119 phones in town, but as we
write there are 181 Bell phones on the
switch board, or an increase of 02 with
a number of others on the order list.
The four last installed are—G. McKen-
zie 149, Win. Nicholson 105, Dr. Cal-
der 151, S. Gracey (residence) 148.
When the phones of the North Huron
Co. are added to the Bell phones, they
make a total of 323 persons with
whom subscribers of either line can
converse at will. From the latest
directory published, the following
comparison is made :—Wingham 131
phones, Orangeville 172, Clinton 144,
Walkerton 109, Kincardine 72. Wing -
ham also leads other towns of similar
size in long distance calls, as the

Questions Asked The Editor.
Question 1—Will the sewers be
completed this fall?
Answer—It depends on the number
of branch sewers to be laid, number
of men employed on the work, the
open autumn weather, and the char-
aeter of the soil through which the
trenehes are dug, If the trenches
cave in, as they leave done on the
main street, the branch sewers will
not all be laed before the snow falls.
Question 2—I1 a sewer is laid in
front of my residence (not on front
street) am I obliged to connect
'with it.
Answer—We do not think that you
are compelled to do so, but it will
prove a great convenience at any time
you may wish to use the sewer or
drain your vvet cellar,
Question 3—Please give the names
of the Hook and Ladder Co. of Wing -
ham ?
Answer—We cannot give the names
of the members, but if you ask Chief
VanNorman, or the secretary, Edgar
Harrison; they will be able to tell you.
Or, enquire of the Fire committee of
the °outsell. That committee is com-
posed of Councillors McDonald, Bone
and'MoKibbon.
Question 4—Shall we have fine wea-
ther fox. the Fall Fair?
Answer—What do you take us for,
anyway? Jest as if we knew! We
sincerely hope, however, that fine
weather will prevail, not only for the
comfort of those who attend, but be-
cause bad weather has a diminishing
effect upon the receipts, as well as up-
on the display, and. is discouraging to
the directors. Prof. Hicks may be
mistaken (we hope he is away off) but
for the last three days of Sept. he
predicts—"Mercury and Venus unite
with the Earth to disturb the ele-
ments at this time. Rain and possi-
bly snow -to the north."
Question 5—Will 0. Lloyd & Son
build their new factory this fall?
Answer—This question is fully an-
swered by a paragraph in the local
column this week; see it.
Question 6—Is Wingham to have a
Carnegie Library?
Answer—There are no hopeful indi-
cations of such at present.
Question 7—What is likely to be the
coat to the property along the line of
a branch sewer? Also, does the town
bring the connection to the street line
as in the case of town water con-
nection?
Answer-1st—The cost has been
carefully figured, and is saicl not to
exceed four cents per foot frontage
per; annum if spread over 20 years. If
paid in cash, there is a large dis-
donut. 2nd—The town does not bring
the sewer connection to the street
line, but the householder must bear
the expense of the connection between
his residence and the sewer, which
wili be at the street centre.

in four months as the average student
does in six.

On Saturday evening, as a horse
and buggy were standing in front of
Awde's Flour store, the horse sudden-
ly started to kit through the road-
way, until he was obliged to assume
a sitting posture. No serious damage
was done, beyond the breaking of the
ends of the buggy' shafts. The digging
of the sewer ts said to be responsible
for the road giving way.

of the idea is said to be a principal of
a business, college, He shotild know
better, or his business training is not

6r even in towns four times its size."

The Perth Contract Co's men are
working patiently and perseveringly
at the sewer connections on the Main
street of town, a,ncl meet with many
discouragements. Often when the
trench has been dug 6 feet in depth or
more and everything ready to lay the
tile, there is a cave-in of the ground
that entails many hours of extra toil
and increased expense. The contract-
ors have not bad an easy contract,
and are earning their money.

SHOE SHAPE
THAT STAYS
If shoes differ at any particular
point, it is in keeping their ehape.
Shape -retaining quality depends up-
on good lasting, or how the leather is
stretclaed down around the last, and
time given for the shape to become
permanent. "INVICTUS SHOES" are
never rushed at any stage, and prove
themselves by retaining shape until
worn out.
