The maple leaf 18 stained with red, Deeper than autumn's dye; Our foreign fields our noble dead Their valor testify. Cut off, outnumbered, ten to one, By wolfish German pack Oar men like heroes fought and won, They kept their foeenen back. They held their post, they saved the day Those young lion from the Weet; What higher tribute can we pay, "They fought like Britain's best." When reinforcements came at last, Then woe betide the Huns, From man to man the word was passed "We must retake the guns." Mid rifle ball, and poison bomb, Shrapnel and shrieking shell, .And all the hell of liaiserdom, They charged, while hundreds fell. With fearless eye and ringing cheer, They made that wild advance, For life was cheap and glory dear, Those bloody days in France, 0, life is sbort to him who gives Long years for selfish pay; In righteous cause, the soldier lives A lifetime in a day, ONLOOKER.

NT Reeve of Luck ow and Now Proprietor of The %+'ing,htliit Ad r aoce Valedictory. No matter how robust a man may be, there is a limit to his nervous energy. Ten business colleges in ten different towns and cities, drawing students from almost every section of Ontario, and also editing and man• aging a newspaper, has' proven too much for the Editor to properly attend to, so, for the past six months, we have seriously considered which line of business should he disposed of and finally concluded to stay with our first love, the teaching profession. The Advance with this issue passes into the hands of one of the most suc- cessful business men in Ontario, who wilt retain the present staff, headed by a competent Managing - Editor. Reeve Joynt' is no stranger to our readers and we wish him every success. In less than three years, we have doubled the advertising, added six hundred new subscribers, increased the job patronage, and we know Mr. Joynt will attain greater things. • Our subscribers, whom we are loathe Vie pert, and who are making it all the harder by expressing their regrets have our profoundest gratitude for their loyalty. 'The business men of Wingham have made this journal one of the largest advertising weekly papers in Ontario and are deserving of our sincerest thanks. The writer can not let this opportu=nity pass wit hent extending to Mr. H. 13. Elliott, Editor of the Wingham Times, bis personal thanks for hie unfailing kindness and coprtesy Whenever our machinery went wrong he cheerfully ran our Tory sheet on bis Grit press. vve wish him eontinu• ed success, which he richly deserves. He is one of Wingham's hert hueines$ MOD. The writer will still live in Wing - ham and conduct his chain of coll.ges from this paint Befeee dividing e.ur energies, it was ,•ustornary to have nne hundred students attending the Wingham Business College, and we will again attain this the incoming yesr. • 'Again extending our heartfelt thank,' to all our newspaper friends and asking all whose labels are not correct or where there is any error with dailies or weeklies to call and explain same, we make oar exit.
