All that is needed now is a fine day for Thursday, Oct, 21st„ and we are assured of a successful windup to one of the most energetic campaigns ever put on in Wingham to help swell the finances of the British Red Cross Society. The reason foir this canvass is an appeal made by Lord Lansdowne, president of the British Red Cross, through our Lieut, -Governor asking that each municipality in Ontario make a Trafalgar Day contribution to help the sailors and soldiers who are fighting for our homes, our families and our honor. The men in the trenches who are wounded, down after meeting it like men for our sake,• down for our cause and down with only one thing to save them on the distant battlefield—the hand of the Red Cross. The sum quoted in last week's AD- VANCE, viz., $4000, will be a very close figure when all the canvassers turn in their lists along with the concert pro- ceeds, tags, auction sale, home made baking, etc. This along with the Council's donation of $2000 will be a showing Wingham may well be proud of. If there are any in town or coun- try who care to add to this fund, who have not been canvassed, your dona- tion will be appreciated if turned in at the concert on Thursday night. Mayor Irwin has proclaimed a half holiday for Thursday afternoon and all places of businese, echoole, etc., will be closed. Everyone will be at the park where the following program will be pulled off and a right good time 'pent, At 1.30 a parade of school children baseball teams, automobiles, etc., headed by the Wingham Citizens' Band will parade from the Public School to the town park, The fats and leans will play baseball after which the winners will meet a burles- que ball team.

TIIOMAS MooRE The Angel of Death visited Huron township on Monday of this week and took a very highly esteemed citizen in the person of Thomas Moore. The deceased was in his 70th year, being born in Stanley Township, Huron County in November 1815. When a mere boy he moved to Huron Town- ship with his parents and has ever since resided on the 4:h concession, In 1864 he married Charlotte Taylor of Wawanosh and later in 1868 he mar- ried Ellen Webster also of Wawanoeh who still survives him. He was a man of sterling qualities and was very highly esteemed by all who knew him. The funeral on Wednesday to Ripley cemetery was conducted by Rev. .A, R.

The daughter was out milking the cows when the fatality occurred, The aged rade only lacked one day of being 75 years of age. She often had complained of her heart bothering her, and doctors stated that her Bud- den death was likely to happen any time. In religion she was a Metho- dist. She is survived by one daughter and three sons: Mrs. A. Forgie, Robert and Gordon Baker on the homestead, and William in the West. The funeral was held on Sunday to Howick cemetery, and was largely attended, the services being conducted by Rev. Mr. Lt;kland of Wroxeter, Spare The Hogs Residents of Huron copnty who e,re in close touch with farming interests, state that while a considerable number of hogs are being offered on the differ- ent markets throughout the surround. ing country, each week, yet, it is believed that the hog -raising industry is being sadly neglected. A well known farmer of the district stated that hie advice to all farmere would be, not to part with the brood eow. The price offered at present ranee from $9 60 to $10 per hundred, and according to various reports, will In all probability rise still higher, To naw subscribers only. THE AD- VANCE from now until Jan, 1916 for lb cants. PATRIOTIC NOTES A meeting of the Wingham Ladies Patriotic Society with held on Satur- day afternoon for the purpose of de- ciding on ways and means of raising funds for the furthering of the work, during the winter months. Several plans were suggested and discussed. Further notice re (same will be given. According to our latest bulletins from headquarters the greatest need at the present time is for flannel day - shirts and socks, It is greatly desired that shipments of these necessities be made at an early date, in order that they may reach distributing stations by the time cold weather sets in. Friends who are willing to assist with this work by making up flannel shirts may procure cut-out materials from any one of the following ladies— Mrs. Gray, Mrs. John Wilson, Mrs, Wm. Bone and Mrs. Tyndall. We urgently request that our knit- ters, many of whom have been holi- daying during the summer months, will again take np this work, Miss Fessant has been appointed to take charge of the supply of yarn for knitting, and will be at her home (cor, John and Minnie) every forenoon and on the afternobns of Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Knitters will kindly note this change. Donations towards this work will be gratefully received. Once again, we wish to publieh the fac; that the need for new cotton for bandages, and old soft white cotton for dressings is still great. Donations of cotton will be received by Mrs. Pugh (cor. Patrick and Francis) The sign of the Red Cross has come "to have an even more potent meaning to us all this past year than perhaps ever bef6re. Canadian women all over the country are actively engaged in doing all they possibly can to help the Red Cross work along. There is work for every woman at the present time. Every woman can "enlist" with this army of splendid women whose unselfish labors go very far towards making possible the wellbeing of our boys at the front. With the beginning of a new year in the work of our Society, once more we extend to the ladies of Wingham and vicinity a pressing invitation to attend the meetings of the Society, which are held in the Council Chamber on the first Friday of every month at 3,30 p.m. Signed, Mrs. H.

Lowry, Elmwood Home, and one of Portage La Prairie's Man., best known and most popular young men has offered his services to the militia department for the cycle corps and been appointed despatch bearer for the 70th Battalion, Mr. Lowry was a valued member of the staff of Brown's Limited and the com- pany presented him with a twelve horse power motorcycle, so that he may be thoroughly (gulped for the work, It is a twin cylinder, two speed machine, most suitable for the stren- uous use to which it will undoubtedly be subjected. It has a powerful head light, carrying 2} gallons of gasoline and a gallon of oil, Mr. Lowry is president of the Elks Club and is also prominent in local oddfellows being Noble Grand of the Portage Lodge.

We hope to do our share in this worthy cause, PLEA FROM THE TRENCHES Sergant E. S. Copeland writes a Blood Stirring Letter. From the trenches in France comes a stirring appeal for the young men of Canada to take up arms for the Em- pire to crush German frightfulness. The writer is Sergt. E. S. Copeland, of Wingham, who tells in,a powerful let- ter to his brother, Mr. C. R. Copeland, of the need to consider the seriousness of the situation. The letter reads as follows: "Somewhere in France," Sept4lst, 1915. Dear Brother,—I wish to t ank you sincerely for the papers which you 'eo kindly sent me. They arrived here in the beet of condition yesterday after- noon and you, perhaps, can guess how eagerly I devoured their contents, for, I assure you, home news is most wel- come out here. I notice in some of the papers that different societies are making presents of machine guns to sore of the bat- talions of the second, third and fourth contingents. True, we need more ma- chine guns, and need them badly, for a machine gun is easily. worth 30 men, but why not send these guns to those who are doing their turn in and out of the trenches now? Do not those who have already made a fair name for Canada, and also sacrificed many of their beet, deserve to be, remembered? If any are to have extra guns, should not those who have struggled through the worst be the first to have things made easier for them? Have the people of Canada forgotton those who of the first call of the Em- pire threw up their positions and ral- lied to the support of the fiag we all love so dearly? Have they forgotton the hardships these men withstood on muddy Salisbury Plain for the greater part of last winter without a murmur or complaint? Have they forgotton how we gave up hundreds of our most noble to repel the kaiser's dastardly gas attack at Langemarck and so did a great part in saving the day and add- ing glory and honor to the British Empire? Do they realize that, though we have had reinforcements, that we are yet sadly weak and even though we haven't our full strength we are doing our duty as if we had? If they do realize this, then they will easily see that those who have been doing their bit are the first ones who should have things made easier for them. And, as I said, for every ma- chine gun we have we could hold back the same number of the enemy that 30 men would repel if the Germans at- tacked ue. Wingham boasts of what she has already done in sending the small number of 60 odd men to represent ber in the Canadian contingents, Perhaps she bas reason to boast if she compares herself with some of the other towns in the district, The trouble is, these people, much as they know, have no conception of what we are really up against. Wingham may be in the lead in sending men to fight for the ICmpire, but she has done very little after all, I wonder if the young men of Ontario really realize that the honor and, yes, I will say, the existence of the British Empire, is at etake. Men of Wingham, wont you sacrifice a little more and send some more men? Couldn't the Wingham Business Men's Association under the able leadership of A. H. Wilford stir up the financial resources of Wingham and send a: least one machine gun to the let. Can• adian Bettalione started this letter to you, brother, but I have written what my mind has been dwelling on most latley. Perhaps if you put this letter in the hands of one of the editors it might bring forth brave fellows who are not afraid to gp forth and do their bit for the honor and glory of Canada and the British Empire, Zocai 'Mems Tbo town has disposed of its sewer debentures locally to the amount of $8000, The Heneall town council is await- ing the report of the hydro experts before submitting a hydro by-law for the ratepayers. The many friends of Mr. Richard Anderson are pleased to welcome him back to Wingham, where he will visit for a few weeks. Mr. Anderson has been in the West for some months. Pte, Rose Reid, a young English- man, who enlisted from here, has been reported killed, Mr. Reid worked near Belgrave for a time. W.'

Munro may expect to receive com- mands by mail any day as it will hard to find any difference in the two names, Mr. J. B. Duffy who has represented the Metropolitan Insurance Co. in Wingham for the past few years, has been transferred to London. Mr. H. J. Thompson of Sault Ste. Marie, who who has taken over Mr. Dutfeys's work here will be moving to town in the near future. Mr, Arthur Newman who has been on the staff of THE ADVANCE for several monthe1has enlisted and leaves for London (today) Thursday morning. Since coming to town Mr. Newman has made many friends who join in wishing him success and a safe return. We received at the Advance office this week a branch of raspberries loaded with bright red berries just as though it were picked in July, also a branch of an apple limb loaded with young sprouting leaves as fresh look- ing as if a May morning had smiled upon it within the last twenty four hours. These were both picked on the farm of Mr, Hector McKay near Whitechurch. No doubt the Council of Morris township did not realize what other municipalities were doing towards contributing for the Red Cross when they voted $250 as a Trafalgar day contribution. Morris has residents who should and could give a $250 personal donation. There are men in many cities and towns who are giving $5 and $10 and do not even possess a bank account. $250 from Morris when figured comes to about 50 cents on every hundred acres. Nevertheless they are doing better than a couple of other municipalities who have actually voted against giving any- thing. An account of these is being kept by the Lieut. -Governor and possibly they will be heard from later on. Dry Goods Stolen H. E. Isard & Co. received a large box of drygoods from Liverpool this week, which had been robbed sometime before it reached its destination. The box had been broken into evidently by some thief, not by opening the lid but by means of a whole punched in the side and a large number of ladies skirts were missing.
