WINGHAM, ONT., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1910,
Don't Delay Renewing.
Advance readers who club through
this office with other papers are re-
quested to make their renewals as
early as possible. At the end of the
year there is suet* a rush of renewals
in the big offices that mixups and
confusion is caused, and it sometimes
takes considerable time to get the
tangle straightened. We are pleased
to attend to renewing your papers,
but it would be more of a pleaeure if
our readers would make an effort to
attend to the matter early.

but the following from the annual
report of the Bureau of Ineustries for
Ontario, just issued, are not dry but
just the revere:—Owen Sound, ip
Grey County, had the largest fall of
snow of any centre reported, or a
little over 193 inches, or sixteen feet,
enough to stall a few trains. Luck -
now, in Huron County, had 159e
inches, Southampton, 144 or 12 feet;
uplands in Parry Sound, 136 inches
and Midland 131. Toronto had only
68 inches, but Deer Park even less,
55, and East Toronto 50. Kingston is
the "rainest" city in the province, not
in actual quantity, but in the number
of days it spreads the process over,
1213; Port Stanley is second with 128;
Toronto and Barrie had each 110 in
the year.

Social Evening.
The meeting of the A.Y.P.A. in St.
Paul's schoolroom on Monday evening

ing :—Selections by High School

The petition for a sewer on Shuter

half of the aesessment. It was decid-
ed, that the Sewer comenittee be

sistant.
Residence Purchased.
DeWitt Holmes hap purchased
from T, T. Field that neat home pro-
perty in. Lower Wingham, where
the latter resided before moving up
town. We like to see our young men
securing homes; it is better than pay-
ing rent. This property contains an
acre of land, and will give DeWitt
plenty of the exercise of which he is
very fond.
•
Gold Headed Cane.
The citizens of Wingham regret the
departnre of Mr. A. Dulmage and his
daughter, Miss Georgia, who for a
number of years have been respected
residents of our town. Miss Dulmage
bid her friends adieu on Tuesday.
Mr. Dulenage left on Saturday and
spent Sunday with his brother. in Pal-
merston. On Friday evening last, a
manber of the Conservatives of Wing -
ham met in A. E. Smith's office and
presented Mr. Dultnage with a gold -
headed cane suitably inscribed, Mr. F.
VanStone making the presentation.
A number of brief addresses were giv-
en, expressive of esteem and regret at
Mr. Dulmage's removal. The recipi-
ent sincerely appreciated the token of
esteem, and made a most excellent
reply. Mr. Dulmage has not been it
good health lately, but his Wingham
friends hope that a change may bene-
fit him, and that happy years are yet
before him, Miss Deli:lege ale° leaves
many friends behind her, whose good
wishes follow her to her new home,
She was an active worker in Sunday
School atid Epworth League, and will
be much missed.
Value Of Spraying.
The Clinton News -Record reports
that Mr. Cantelon, the "apple king,"
has closed the season's operations,
and recently attended the exhibition
of the Ontario Horticultural society
in Toronto. Mr. Cantelon is more
than ever impressed with the value
of spraying and says among other
things that sprayed fruit being
healthy wee very little affected by
windstorms, while on the otter hand,
there Was a loss on unsprayed fruit by
falling off, of probably twenty-five
per cent. Furthermore, eprayed
oreharas yielded fro ra 60 to 75 per
cent. of No. 1 fruit. To emphasize
his remerke, Mr. Cantelon added that
the Apple Shippers' Assoeiation has
decided in the future to boy only
from sprayed orehards. The Advance
feellike adding a, word or two right
here. The day is past when farmers
can neglect their orchards, or let them
take care of themselves, and then
expect to reap large flearteial retutne.
The orchard is a part of the farm that
will amply repay for the work spent,
epee it, and if what Mr. Catitelon
says is the case, Iltwon county farm.
ors have stronger reasons than ever
for giving their orchards the very best
attention possible, that le if they
want to raise No. 1 trait and not
culls.

On Saturday last, a workman nam-
ed Attrill, employed on the construe,
tion of tho elevator at the Western
Canada Flour Mills Company, Gode-
rick, was very seriously injured by a,
falling wooden cement form. The
form was being hoisted to the top of
the 175 foot elevator, when the fasten-
ing slipped and the heavy timber fell,
striking .A.ttrill on the head and then
falling on him, breaking both legs.
He is nOt likely to recover.
May Get Library.
Wingham may yet secure a grant
from Andrew Carnegie for a Library
building, for which application was
:nada several months ago. Some de-
lay has occurred, but last week, Town
Clerk Groves received a letter from
Mr. Carnegie'e secretary, making en-
quiries as to present accommodations,
etc., etc. The president and secretary
of the Board of Trade consulted with
Mr. Groves, who wrote giving the
information asked for. There are
prospects, that if Wingham complies
with the conditions, a fine library
building suitable for the town needs,
may yet be secured.

Dr. Chishohn Speaks.
Dr. T. Chisholm, M. P. for East
Huron* deliVered a speech of consi-
derable length in connection with the
debate from the Speech from the
Throne. The Ottawa Citizen sum-
marizes it thus ;—"Dr. Chisholm of
Rest Heron, devoted hie speech
mainly to a- diseustion of the pending
reciprocity treaty' with the 'United
Stater. He was not prepared to say
that he would vote against any
arrangement whieli might be enteted
into, beeause such an arrangement
might titre out to be a good one. 13u1
he expressed great dottbts as to the
ability of the Laurier governmerib to

the United States. to every treaty
so far made, he 'Paid, we had been

countries sitate the days of the Ameri-

Canada had at all times been treated
harehly and nejnetity by the United

Sale Of Poisons.
Last week, E; N. Lewis, M. P., for
West Huron, introduced a bill re-
specting the sale of poisons and
receptacles for the same. It provides
that any person, who sells, or
through his agent exposes for sale or
gives away any poison without the
authority of a medical certificate or a
prescription, shall be liable to a fine
of $100 or six months' imprisonment.
Mr. Lewis explained that this pro-
vision was intended to stop the sale
of cocaine and of liquor in local option
districts. A second section of the bill
is intended to make it impossible for
persons to mistake a bottle containing
poison, for any other bottle. The bill
requires that poison be sold in square
or three -sided, blue glass bottles,
having rough or corrugated corners.
From Saskatchewan.
Our young friend, John A. Park, of
North Battleford, Sask., (formerly of
Wingham) writes renewing his sub-
scription for 1911. It is wonderful
how those western towns grow, and
North Battleford is no exception.
John is apparently doing well, as
jeweler, watchmaker, optician, time
inspector for the Canadian Northern
Rye, and .issuer of marriage licenses.
He gives a few facts showing the de-
velopment of Battleford :—The pro-
vincial government is planning to
erect a $400,000 building to accommo-
date those who go wrong in the upper
story, as it is called; the Roman
Catholics are erecting a $50,000 hos-
pital ; the International Harvester
Co. is contemplating a $10,000 for-
warding warehouse, The town has
expended $120,000 as a beginning on
electric light plant, waterworks and
a sewerage system. Friend John is
pleased to note that, Wingham is im-
proving by having a partial sewerage
system.
Tariff Discussion.
A fairly repreeentative meeting was
held in the Town Hall, Goderich, on
Saturday afternoon, Nov. 20th, for the
discussion of the tariff question as it
affects the interests of the farmers
and consumers. J. A. Mello:vie of
West Wawawanosh, discharged the
duties of chairman; The following
resolution, moved by 3. N. Kernighan
and seconded by Hugh Hill, was car-
ried :—"That this meeting stands in
favor of the lowering of the tariff up-
on agricultural implements, cement,
harness and saddlery, wire, cotton
and woollen goods, and clothing in
general," The advisability of sending
a deputation to Ottawa to join with
the deputations from other parts of
Canada to urge the views of the farm-
ers and consulters upon the Govern-
ment was suggested, and it was de-
cided to meet again on Saturday next,
Dec, 3rd, at 280 o'clock in the same
place, to discuss the matter further.
Purchased A Fruit Farm.
Mr, Robt. Maxwell has purchased a
fruit farm, about two wileo from
Leamington, in a beautiful section of
denary, and intends to remove within
a few weeks, It is necessary there-
fore that he dispose of his entire
stock of suitings, overcoatinge and
trouserings by January lst. His advt.
came late this week, but you will find.
his stock large and varied, and be
promises low prices. The sale starts
Saturday next, Dec, 3rd, The Ad-
vance eegrets that Mr. and Mrs.
Maxwell are to remove from Wing -
ham. They have been respected
residents for many years and no town
can well afford to lose such good
citizens. However, Mr. Maxwell has
oilmen a free, independent life, and
one that will give him healthy, out-
door exercise, and plenty of it.
A Musical Treat.
The concert under the auspices of
the Pavish Club on Thursday evening
was not largely attended, but we
consider the programme given, a rich
imusical treat. The Imperial Male
Quartette, assisted by Miss Jean
Carmichael (elocutionist) furnished
the programme, and it proved to be
one of the best of the kind ever given
in town, C. J, Pink, the first tenor,
A. Riddle, baritone, F. Fitzgerald,
second tenor and accompanist, and A.
E. Webster, basso, compose the
quartette. Each one is an artist.
Mr. Riddle has a rich baritone voice
of considerable range and power; Mr.
Fitzgerald makes an excellent, second
tenor, and is an accomplished pianist,
but without speaking in the least
disparagingly of the others, Messrs.
Pink and Webster seemed to be the
favorites. "The Death of Nelson" by
Ur. Pink, was the best rendering of
that selection, that we have ever
heard, and captivated the audience.
Mr. Webster's rich bass voice was
heard to advantage in "Neath the
rolling tide." Mies Carmichael pleased
the audience with her elocutionary
renderings. There was no stint, and
all responded cheerfully to the repeat-
ed recalls. If the quartette ever
comes to Wingham again, they will
be greeted by a large audience.

Oil On Streets.
.The Good Roads Publicities Associ-
ation sends the Advance the follow-
ing, on the results of using oil on the
streets of Owen Sound, instead of
water :—The sandy lake shore soil, up-
on which Owen Sound is located, re-
sults in very dusty streets. No mat-
ter how much rain falls, or how water
is sprinkled on the streets, in an hour
thereafter the dust becomes a nuisance
and a menace to the health. To over-
come this the municipal authorities,
early in the spring, experimented with
oil, which proved such a success that
now all the principal streets in the
centre of the town are oiled. These
thoroughfares are macadamized and
as a preparation for oiling are first
swept clean, and oil put on immediate-
ly after with the sprinkler. The
objection at first was that the odor
front the crude oil was offensive, but
in a day or two this disappeared, and
the change for the better to dustless
streets was recognized by all. The
first application of oil lasted six
weeks, and the second application
was put on the other day, and what
were some of the thistles streets are
now perfectly dustless. The town
officials state that it will be an annual
saving of $2,000 over the old water
system, and at the same time giv1ss
much better results. It did another
good thing in banishing mosquitoes,
heretofore a great annoyance, none
behig now in evidence where the
streets are oiled.

the conditiorks there tst preterit are

some time past, momentous questions

describect as a. erisis, 80 that weighty
interests depend upon the result of

Wingham and vieinity have noted hie
advamcetnent With pleasure, and will
