--The Ottawa Journal, which et
first was favorable to reciprocity, has

change of attitude on President Taft's
utterances.

IIais Geo, S. Ladd of the Masschusetts
State Grange. In referring to the
Reciprocity agreement, he opposed it
and declared that if an agreement was
made, it should be made by annexe -
tion, so that Canada might share the
burdens of the United States as well
as enjoy its henefite.

„leeThe beautiful mansion owned by
7 Manager Travers' of Tho Farmers'
Bank notoriety, is bis no longer.
Travers has been furnished with a
home in Kingston, not quite so
fashionable, and his former luxurious
home was sold last week by auction
for $22,100. The proceeds go towards
the assets of the defunct institution
wrecked by Travers. That is probably
where the cash came from, on which
Travers lived•in such princely style,
and the proper place for the proceeds
to go.

• -A notable event occurred on May
8th, which shows the wonderful pro-
gress of the twentieth century. For
the first time in the history of the
world, the human voice was carried
'2,000 miles over long distance tele-
phone wires from New York to
Denver. A group of newspaper men
a New York skyscraper threw their
oices across the plains and the moun-
tains of nine states to another group
awaiting the message in the Rocky
Mountain city of Denver, picked up
Omaha on the way, and also gossiped
with Chicago. Wonderful, is it not ?
A M !
—Owen Sound has secured three
new industries. Canada is all right;
she has abundance of raw material,
and her towns are looking out for
industrial expansion. Is it any won-
der that Uncle Sam has an eye on our
natural resources? I "say Uncle, we
want those resources ourselves and
can make good use of them. It is
true, we have some foolish chaps, who
want to throw down the fences and
let your cattle into our green pasture.
It may be they will succeed, but then
it may be that they will not. Canada,
we repeat, is all right. True, we have
a reckless administration, loading us
up with 156 million dollar estimates,
but some day the electors will demand
an account of their stewardship. An-
other thing Uncle, we might mention—
wo do not wonder you are after our
good Canadian stuff, but we have a
dandy home market, and our produce
brings good prices, Indeed, we are
doubtful if you can do any better for
us, than we can do for ourselves.
Besides, our goad old mother wants
anything we can spare. Thanking
you ell the same, good morning
Uncle.
FOR SATURDAY SHOPPERS.
1 ---Soon after breakfast make a list
of the groceries and meats you require
for Suuday. Don't leave this till
twelve hours later,
2—Send in your order early ; you
will find it just as easy, and it will
help the grocer and butcher to give
you better service,
3—Don't bo one of those procrasti-
nators, who leave their shopping until
eight, nine or ten o'clock, then go
down street, saunter around, and then
when you ought to be in bed, bethink
yourself of something you want, and
expect it to be delivered that night.
Don't be thoughtless.
4—There is no reason why all pur-
chases for Sunday should not be made
and delivered before eight or nine
p.m.; business over by ten o'clock,
and grocery and dry goods men,
butchers, delivery boys, and tired
horses, find some relief from the ever-
lasting rush from ten to twelve -on
Saturday nigbte,
5—The closing hours of the busy
week should not be full of excitement,
bustle and strain of brain and muscle.
It can be avoided ; it ought to cease.
A little thought, some effort; then the
buyer as well as the seller would ap-
preciate the general improvement in
the methods.
A Choral Society.
A Choral Society has been organiz-
ed in Wingham ; this is a step in the
right direction. We understand the
intention is to have the first practice
in the evening of May 31st. Wingham
has some good talent, and much more
that is capable of being developed, and
the formation of this society will be
a great help in that direction. Young
people who wish to avail themselves
of this opportunity should see Dr.
Price, Judging from what has been
done in the past, we expect to hear
the
really fine music
some e y , when
Choral society gets right down to
work, and announces an opening
concert. Already nearly seventy have
signified their intention of becoming
members of the society.

—There is nothing `small about
Canada so far as territory is concern-
ed. It stretches from—well, we all
know its wonderful area. Nothing
small about it either, when it comes
to the estimates for the expenditure,
especially when an election looms up
in the near future. One hundred and
fifty-six million dollars (the estimates
for next year) for a population of less
than eight millions, is striking a
rather fast gait. It may not all be
pent, says one. Then why vote it?
ossibly to act as a bait to electors
in certain favored constituencies. If
so, the procedure is wrong. Public
works. or promises of such may be
used to influence electors, quite as
effectively in some cases as cash.
There are lots of chaps, who would
despise the mean fellow that accepted
a
$2bill for his vote ; at the same
time they 'would be delighted to know
that the Government was going to
spend twenty-flve thousand dollars in
the constituency for a wharf or public
building. The Government that "does
things" along this line will find a lot
of chaps to hurrelc for it at the polls.
That is the reek •es why the estimates
have reached she enormous sum of 56
r n
o ul
million dollars. Shoeld thepapule-
tion
tion touch the eight million mark, the
.,k estimates mean an expenditure of
$10 GO for
each individual, The popu-
lation
u-
lation of Wingham according to the
Aseeesor is 218t; so that Wingbam's
share per Capita is $48,370 50. Rather
extravagant,l
is it not? Yet lots of
people Will contend it is all right, and
vote for its continuance,
A Social Evening.
Rev, Dr. Boyle of Trinity College
gave an interesting lecture in St.
Paul's Church on Monday evening on
his trip to England. The scenes visit-
ed in the old land, cities, churches,
historical associations, were referred
to in the speaker's usual interesting
and entertaining manner. Mr. Boyle
has a number of views, which when
developed and thrown on to canvas,
will add interest to an already in-
structive lecture, and it is hoped that
Dr. Boyle will favor the A,Y.P.A.
(tinder whose auspices the address
was given) with another descriptive
address, when the slides are prepared.
In addition to the address given on
Monday evening, Mise Griffin, Miss
Mann and Gerry Willis, rendered
acceptable solos. Refreshments were
served, and a social time enjoyed.
Mr. H. Davis occupied the chair in his
usual happy manner,

It Is Different.
When a man pee into a hotel and
finds something on the table which
he does not relish, he does not raise a
row with the landlord and tell him to
stop his old hotel. Well hardly, He
sets that dish to one side and wades
into the many dishes that suit him.
It is different with some newspaper
readers. They find an article oc-
casionally that does not suit them
exactly and without stopping to think
it may please hundreds of other read-
ers, they make a grand -stand play and
tell the editor how a newspaper should
be run, and what should be in it.
A Brother Deceased,
The following from the Mitchell
Advocate refers to a brother of Mr. I.
Coles of Wingham :—After living in
the neighborhood of Munro, Fullerton,
for upwards of forty years, Jonas 0.
Coles passed to his reward at the age
of 8t years, on Monday morning last.
He was born in England and came to
Canada when a young man. Ile was
twice married, and his second wife
survives him, besides one son and four
daughters by his first wife. Mr. Coles
was a man of fine exemplary char-
acter; was widely known and highly
respected.
Huron Old Boys,
At a meeting of the Executive of
the Huron Old Boys' Association in
the Prince George Hotel last week
it was decided that the annual three
days' excursion would be held to
Goderich and Kincardine on Saturday,
Tnly Sth. A special feature this year
will be au auto drive around the
country under the chaperonage of the
Executive. The drive will last for
the full three days, and it is `expected
that there `will be a party of over
forty people altogether. All the
members of both Houses of Parlia-
ment for the county aro expected.
Will Come Later.
We understand that the Commis-
sioners do not see the way clear to
give electric power in the day -time
until after the town is supplied with
pure water. They hope to have the
water question settled this summer
and be able to furnish electric power
in the fall. The manager reports
sufficient number ready to take power
to make it a paying proposition.
Wingham has good fire protection and
lawn service on several streets. Few
towns of its size have as good a
sewer system. Day power would be
welcome, and another advance move-
ment.
Married In California.
The following from a California
paper refers to the marriage of Miss
Louise Ferguson, formerly of Wing -
ham :—"A simple, pretty home wed-
ding occurred on April 20th, at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Ferguson,
when their daughter, Miss Louise be-
came the bride of R. Beech Jones.
Rev. George I. Long of the Second
Presbyterian Church officiated, and
only the immediate family, about
thirty in all, were present. A pink
and white color scheme was attrac-
tively carried out in roses. The living
rooms, where the ceremony took place
were fragrant with garlands and mass
see of these beautiful flowers which
were lavishly used, 'rhe bride and
groom for the reading of the service
stood beneath a canopy of smilax and
orange blossoms. In the dining -room,
pink roses were on the daintily -set
table, and roses and smilax garlanded
the rootn in a most satisfactory man-
ner. The place cards, which were the
bride's handiwork, wore decorated
with wedding bells swinging from
delicate blue ribbons caught with gar-
lands of pink roses. They were paint-
ed in water Colors. The groom's bro-
ther, Iver Jones, sang "0 Promise
Me," before the bridal party entered
the room, and his sister, Miss Annie
Jones, played 'wedding mrla ed the eb.
There Were no attendants and the
bride, an attraettve young lady, was

blossorns caught with a tulle bow in.
her brown hair, and made a sweet
picture of happiness. ins s A delicious
dinner followed the ceremony. The
handsome wedding presents, matey of
which came from Canada and Pang,
land, were on display, and the bride's
going-a*ay gown was a tailored suit
of navy blue serge, with everything
to match. The bride came here about
a year and a'half age from Wingham,

The London Free Press gives the
following :—"Stanley Small and Alf.
Davis, two 17 -year-old boys, who
reside•on Egerton street, East London,
walked to Wingham, a distance of 74
miles, last week in search of work.
Small has a brother living in Wing -
ham, and he conceived the idea of
going to Wingham tolook for work.
After inducing the Davis boy' to ac-
company him, they started at six
o'clock on Monday morning, going
north on Richmond street. Eighteen'
miles out of London, Small's feet were
so sore and blistered he had to take
off his shoes and stockings and bathe
his feet in a creek. Ile then walked
seven miles in his bare feet. They got
their meals from farmers on the road.
The first night they slept on the road,
and the second night in a livery barn
at Clandeboye. After losing their
way several times, and having to take
to the railroad, they reached Wing -
ham on Wednesday morning at ono
o'clock. Small's brother sent him
home on the train, but the Davis boy
got a job with a farmer and is work-
ing in the vicinity of Wingham."

Barn Burned.
Very early on Tuesday (about 2 30)
Sohn McKenzie of the 4th concession
of Kinloss was awakened by a bright
glare of light and a cracking sound.
On looking out of his bedroom win-
dow, he discovered that one of his
mother's barns was in flames. He
hurriedly dressed himself, but the
fire had got such headway that the
building was already past saving.
Neither could the contents be saved,
and two calves, ninety hens, some hay
and all the implements were a total
loss. There was insurance of $300 on
the barn, which was OOx10 feet, and
some insurance on the contents. The
fire is supposed to have been the work
of a tramp, who is said to have been
sleeping wherever he could find
shelter.

Swat The Flies.
A generation of disease breeding
and germ -carrying flies is produced in
a little more than a week, and it has
been calculated that one wintered -over
fly is capable of producing pro-
geny numbering 14,007,792,000,000,003,
roughly speaking. A female fly lays
between 125 and 150 eggs at a time,
and repeats the operation from six to
twelve times in a summer. The time
to exterminate the menace is when
they Pest arrive, and every person
should do his best to lessen the
pest.

The Advance has a letter from Mr.
T. B. Ferguson, formerly Town Clerk
of Wingham, now a resident of San
Tose (pronounced San Izay,) They are
all enjoying fairly good. health ; Mrs.
Ferguson and daughter find the
climate especially agreeable. In that
part of California (the northern) the
weather is subject to sudden changes
of temperature, and Mr. Ferguson
'says a change of 30, 40, or even 50
degrees in twelve hours, is rather
sudden for him to appreciate. Never-
theless., the climate is the great asset
of the country. In the vicinity of
San Tose, late frosts have injured the
fruit prospects, and not more that
half a crop is expected. A report of
an interesting event in Mr. Fergu-
son's family will be found elsewhere
on this page.
