The Wingham Advance, 1914-08-06, Page 1,.e The Wingharn Advance. e. 42ND YEAR, NO. 47 WINGHAM, ONT., ,THURSDAY, AUGUST 6 1914.81 no PiArmee Canada's Duty In the present war crisis Canada calmly, cooly and deliberately has watched the growing whirlwind. Britain has declared war and when Britain is at war so is Canada Canada's arteries of commerce are protected by the British fleet and anything which weakens Britain weakens Canada. It is gratifying to note how Canada and the Em- pire stills its domestic quarrels when the empire is threatened. Two hostile armies in Ireland fac- ing each other with deadly deter- mination halt and wheel shoulder to shoulder to serve the Mother Empire wherever sent. In Canada onr great Liberal. Dalies, with one voice, say differences of domestic politics mast be hushed and all uphold the bands of Sir Robert Borden so that Canada may do its fully duty as acomponent part of the. greatest•empire. We, as Canadians, should 1:e grateful that we are so far remov- ed from the vortex of European militarism. Germany • has been the aggressor. She has spent money lavishly upon her army and navy developing them far beyond that required for defence. Three, times in the past five years Britain has offered to cease such enormous expenditure if Germany would. This was refused, hence, Germany has been the cause of military ex- penditure weighing as a mill -stone about the necks of European nations. Germany has been spoiling for a fight and in the words of Sir Ed- ward Grey she shall have it in 'full measure'. If the German army is shattered and, the German navy sunk, the nations of E trop9 can spend money in more i eful and helpful ways. Germany is ruled by militarists, who deserve a se - ere lessen. Canada should be proud of the response on all hands. Wealthy individuals cffering to finance a regiment, men high in public life cffering to head regiments, Mani- toba with her offer of 10,000 men, etc.) etc. Canada in a short time can easily muster 100,000 men to assist the mother nation, which has protected us from infancy. Woodman spare that tree, Touch not a single bough, In youth it sheltered me, And I'll protect it now. Australia and New Z aland have also responded. When the old lion is in danger her cubs come to her help. Britain has been the greatest christianizer and civi:izer of the centuries and in Canada it is pleasing to note that almost all of her rec, nt foreign immigrants, whether they be from Germany, An tria, Russia, or Striv a ai e loyal to the land of their adoption. It is in the interest of the human race that Britannia still may rule the waves; should she meet with re- verse the hands of progre. s will 1? , turned back.

Then, when over thirty of our best type of young men, composing the Citizens' hand and Fire Brigade, marched to the G. T. R , we were indeed proud of them. These two organizations were going to com- pete among the best at Seaforth where possibly 15,000 people from far and near were assembled. In this kind of work our young men are rendering a service to. Wingbani which should be more appreciated, /sr arrest err Mos qtr Successor to A. M. CRAWFORD` Wholesale and Retail Tobaccos W1NGHA:NiONTARIO ditYWt1 its6aw i Wingham Boy's Success. About twenty years ago there was a sixteen -year-old red headed boy work ing in a hardware store in Ontario Canada. One day he delivered a 44 40 rifle to a customer who allowed him to shoot at a target. This target was eighteen inches wide and set up across a narrow country road six paces dis- tant. The boy was allowed to shoot ten times. He did not hit the target. A little later the same boy went on a coon hunt with some friends from the store who loaned him a five -shot re- volver. Two of these five shote he discharged at a camp of tramps just to scare them, The other three went off by accident and narrowly missed his friends. Tho next day he tried to shoot a dog and shot himself in the leg. That boy was John W„ better known as "Jack" Hessian, who has made fifty-seven consecutive bulls' - eyes at 800 yards, and who holds the world's championship in rifle shooting. When Mr, Hessian was 23 years old he crossed over to this country and secured a job as a traveling salesman with a Kentucky tobacco concern. It was while traveling for this concern that he did his first target shooting. He used a revolver and his targets consisted of a lithographed head six iuches in diameter which was part of the advertising with which his firm supplied him. "It took me more than a year," said Mr. Hessian "to get so I could put five shote inside that circle at twenty pacee." After thie he became expert with the revolver and it, brought him in touch with R. R. Bennett, a Pittsburgh sportsman, who did much to help him along. He then joined the Ircquois R fie Club of Pittsburgh and took up rifle shooting. Since that time he has not paid much attention to revolvers. In 1001 he became a member of the 18-h Regiment, Pennsylvania National Guard rifle team. At the Sea Girt matches he showed such promise that Dr. W. G. Hudson taught him the use of the telescope, micrometer and other refinements of rifl shooting. 31r. Hessian then returned to Pittsburgh and won three individual matches. Sitce tit et time hie advance was remarkable. At Camp Perry, Ohio, he astonished the shooting world by making fifty-seven consecutive bulls' - eyes at a range of 803 yards. This won him a place' on the American Olympic rifle team. The New York Athletic clog, of which he is a mem- ber, recently presented him a beauti- ful rifle which now hangs in the club trophy room. Mr. Hessian has won more than a score of hard fought national and international matches against the picked shots of the world, but his most conspicuous victory was that at Camp Perry last season, when he de- feated five hundred and ninety-nine of the world's most expert rifle shote. In twenty shote, scored at ten for each bull's-eye, he made 103 out of a possible 200, at 600 and 1,000 yards. With the wind blowing a gale he hit the bull's eye nineteen out of tweuty times at 1,000 yards. Experts say that without his wind gauge he world have had to aim twenty -feet to the side of the target to get into the butt's eye. Much of his best work, from the viewpoint of "the good of the game" has been done at the elbows of thou- sands of ncvicee who have profited greatly by his enthusiastic coaching. To this class the fruits of hie ability and experience have been given freely and his knack of imparting instruction is doubtless due to the fact that he was obliged to blunder along in his own way so many years before he became a good marksman. The shooting career of John W. Hessian offers plenty of inspiration to the beginners who are struggling to land among the expert rifle shote. Pastor Inducted. Service was held hist Wednesday evening in St. Paul's Anglican Ohurch when Rev. Ernest G. Dymond was in- ducted rector of the parish, Evening prayer was said by Rev, R. L Page, of Brussels, after which Ven, J. B. Richardson, Archdeacon of Lon- don, proceeded with the induction cert mony. The church wardens, Mes- eta Robert Allen and Charles White received the bishop's mandate, and at the door of the church newly installed rector tolled the bell in token of bis authority. Impressive cer- emonies followed. The sermon was preached by the archdeacon on the "Conditions of the Kingdom of Christ," and closed with a tribute to the character and ministry of Rev; Me, Dymond, referring to his strong qualifications and faithful work, The choir rendered the special hymns and anthems well. After the services the congregation adjourned to the church basement, where a beauti- ful supper was served by the la.dfee of the congregation, Excursion Uon't forget the Sunday School life- cureioa on Thursday, Ang. 13t'b, to Kind trd na.

M,, journeyed to Brnesels, accompanied by Town Clerk Groves, to visit the Odd - fellows Lodge. After spending a most pleasant time in the Lodge room, where good fellowship and brotherly love reigned supreme, they proceeded home, but, when a mile or so out of Brussels, towards Jamestown, they encountered three youths from Morris township, who had evidently attended a meeting which inculcated a war -like spirit. These young men riding three in one buggy and leading another horse attached to a buggy kept pass- ing and re -passing our towsmen and annoying them with their chat and eventually Bros. Groves and Deyell advised them to slide along and sell their papers, The three fellows did drive on and stopped their horses peeled off their coats and with whips in hand stopped the horse of the Wingham men, one of the hood- lums hitting the horse over the head with his whip. Groves and Deyell got out of their rig to protect their horse from cruelty and to clear the way which they did most effectually. A horse driven by the boys ran away and as the Wingham men were hand- ling them roughly but easily, the ruffians thought that "he who ran away night live to fight another day", so took after the horse. The rural phone played its part and a neighbor caught the horse. Provincial Officer Phippen rounded up the. "would be knights of the Fistic Ater and they came to town Saturday night to appear before His Worship, J. A. Morton. They pleaded guilty "to causing a disturbance , by impeding peaceable passengers on the highway," and, as they had signed a document stating that Groves and Deyell were in no way to blame for the mix-up and apologized for their actions, the Wing - ham men asked His Worship to be lenient. Each were assessed $1 and $3.10 coste. The Advance refrains from publish- ing the names of the boys, who come from good families, and they are not as yet real highway men. Possibly they have been reading some Wild West Tales of late, but it is to be hop- ed that it will be a warning to youths, who have rooms to let in the upper story, that peaceable passengers roust not be molestsd or insulted on the King's Highway. Field Crop Competition Awards. Mr. C. S. Nicholson, of Guelph, was in town last week judging the fields of White Oats which were entered in the Standing Field Crop Competition which was conducted by the Turn - berry Agricultural Society.

On Wednesday of last week we learned with regret of the death of one of our highly respected citizens, Mr. Richard Lewis Small at the age of three score and ten. Mr. Small had been ailing for a few years 'and was bedfast for the past two weeks. He leaves to mourn the loss of an affec- tionate husband and kind father, a widow, two daughters and four sons— Mrs. Haines and Mrs. McDonald of Teeswater ; Ed. at home, Tom at Listowel; Andrew, Woodstock, and Roland at Ohatham. The deceased has also two brothers and one sister in Woodstock, Forty three years ago Mr. Small was wedded to Miss Susanna Bell of Woodstock and moved here 15 years ago from Teeswater. The funer- al services were conducted by Rev. Mr, Dymond and interment took place at the Wingham cemetery. The de- ceased was a man of kindly disposition and sterling manhood. He was a life- long Conservative. The sympathy of the community goes out to the widow and bereaved ones, What A Salesman Back of the excited, cheering, blood- thirsty mobs which throng under the windows of cretain off the chancellories of Europe lurks the gun -maker and powder manufacturer, in demoniac at- tendance, hat in hand,— and the hat is in hand ready to receive the contri- butions of gold, tax -money wrung from impoverished peoples that will be de- posited there to pay for the guns and the munitions which are to drown out the cheers and the passions of the mobs in thunder and blood. "Ash, himmei ! Vot.a salesman you tire!" The cartoonist sometimes shoots as straight as the man behind the Mauser. Cartoonist Thomas of The News, plunked a shot into the heart of the target in his picture of yesterday. Mars before the gun -maker, his trav- eling bag and hie hands full of orders for the maohinery of death and deso- lation, the gun -maker exclaiming in compliment, as just quoted. It would be stretching facts to cover too much of the field of Human activity to attempt to say that the Ger- man trust which makes guns made the war which has broken out along the - Danube, but too much has been shown in the past of its activities in promot- ing the war spirit impartially among the nations of Europe to acquit it of the suspicion of having helped to create the present situation. Death of Christopher Jobb. It was our sad duty last week to cbouicle the passing of one of this community's most respected citizens in the person of Christopher Jobb, The remains of the deceased were fol• lowed by a• large concourse of friends and neighbors, which clearly showed the high esteem in which he was held. The services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Tait, Pastor of Bluevale and Ead- Ohurches ten Presbyterian, Mr. Jobb was born on Christmas Day, 1811, in the Township of Cartwright and with his parents moved to Turnberry in the early days, where he did his part in pioneer work.
