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? ,

Wingham's Young Manhood -
It would be a chronic, calloused
kicker indeed, who was not proud of
Wingham'a young manhood on Wed
nesday of this week. Our Lacrosse
boys left on the early 0. P. R. for
Orangeville to play the Natknel

for Wingham. 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,

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

ful supper was served by the la.dfee of
the congregation,

Wingham Men Held Up.
On Thursday evening of last week
Mr. W, 3, Deyell, who is D. D. G. 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

Richard Small Passes Away.
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

as straight as the man behind the
Mauser. Cartoonist Thomas of The

the target in his picture of yesterday.
Mars before the gun -maker, his trav-
eling bag and hie hands full of orders

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
