the past fifty years had been a resi-

TRAGICALLY SUDDEN CALL, TO
WINGHAM LADY
"In the midst of life we are in
death," is a biblical truth .frequgntly
impressed on our minds; 'and this
week Wingham had another sad evi-
dence of its power, in the sudden
passing ashy- of Mrs. "5:n Stephen-
son. She and her family had been
at their cottage at• Kincardine for
some time, Mr. Stephenson oing up
for the week -ends.. On Sunday Mrs.
Stephenson complained ' of ,feeling
poorly, and when she su'gested ac-
compaPying her''husband:;''back to
Wingham, he decided to call in a
dodtor. The medical man quickly di-
agnosed, the case as appendicitis and
had the patient removed to the hos-
pital,` where an operation was per-
formed; but Mrs: Stephenson nevem
came out of the anaesthetic. The re-
mains were taken to Markdale for in-
terment on Wednesday. Very deep
sympathy is felt for the bereaved, hus
'band ' and eight children, four of
whom are .:still et home, whose loss,
will be the greatest.

WROXETER RINK WIN
TROPHY AT SCOTCH DOUBLES.
Conflicting counter.,attractions in
other places accounted for a rather
slim attendance of outside rinks at
Wingham Scotch doubles on Wed-
nesday last Only nine outsiders were
present, representing, Mount Forest,
Blyth, Wroxeter, Lucknow and God-
erich clubs, while twelve local rinks
took part in the sport. The trophy
went to Ritchie and Durst, of Wrox-
eter, with Cuff and Robinson, of
Blyth, as runners up. Hunt .and
Wintei•sides, of-Goderich, annexed the
Association, beating Agnew and Mc-
Coy in the final game, while Craig
and Hamilton and Chapman and
Coombes ;both local rinks, qualified.
for the special event. Owing to the
late 'hour long after midnight, the
two rinks divided the prizes.
Wingham rink once more kept
faith with the visitors in offering a
better class of prizes than most
clubs do. Trophy prizes were blan-
kets and silver tambour clocks; As-
sociation prizes, blankets and silver
plates with handles; and special
event prizes, salad bowls with silver
servers, and silver cream and sugar
sets.

SCHOOL OPENS SEPTEMBER 6
Wingham schoos re -open on Tues-
day, September 6th, after the mid-
summer holidays. Citizens generally,
and those in ?articular who take
special interest in this most import-
ant part of he town's institutions,
must feel a real thrill of pride at the
very splendid results obtained at the
recent examinations. The lower school
results, published last week, and the
upper school results, appearing in,this
issue of the Advance -Times, are well
worth consideration of any parent
wh°o:has a pupil Featly for highschool.
Not only is the general result most
complimentary alike to staff and pu-
pils, but the proportion of pupils ob-
taining honors is considerably above
the average, This happy and satisfac-
tory standing cannot be attributed to
any other cause than the capable, pa-
tient work of the staff and a hearty
co-operation on the part of the pu-
pils. Now when September 6th comes
round; it will be doubly pleasing if
there is a full enrolment on opening
day, so that the year's work will get
off to a good start.
FLOWER' SHOW SEPT. 2ND
Wingham Horticultural Society,
wh'1th':has done so much to beautify
the town, are hoiding"a Flower Show
nber
on Friday, Stet
P 2nd, in the
council chamber . This will undoubt-
edly be an event of more than usnal
interest and pleasure, affording an op-
portueity of seeing the direct result
of this ' organization's activities.

Francis Cai•re and Mr. James Cobble

NORH HURON ELECTION
To theaverage citizen there is lit-
tle on the surface to indicate that a
bye -election is solder way in North
Huron, but beneath all this serene
quietness an intense and effective 0,1
ganization work is being pushed with
considerabe force. Liberals' make the
first public appeal in Wingham today
when the Preriii r Rt
e , Hon. W. L.
Mackenzie King, Hon. Lucien °Can-
non,;Solicitor-General; Hon. j. C -El-
liott, Minister of Public Works; and
the candidate, 'Mr. Archie Hislop,
speak in the Wingham Arena. For
this meeting ample arrangements
have been made for the comfort of:
the big crowd expected. Amplifiers
are being installed so that the words
of the speakers will be distinctly
heard in every part' of the big build-
ing. It is understood that the Prem-
ier and party will 'arrive on the C.
N.R. train at 12.30, will be received
bythe Liberal organization, and that
g ,
Mayor Fells will formally welcome
the distinguished leader on behalf of
the towtn..
This is the opening verbal bom-
bardment and no doubt the Conserv-
atives and Progressives will soon lay
down a barrage of equal force.
It is an accepted, fact that the three
candidates will allow their names to
go before the people. George Spot
ton, a business college principal, rep-
resents the Conservative party; Arch-
ie His15, a farmer, is the choice of
the Liberals; while Sheldon Bricker,,
a resident of Fordivich village and
shipper of live stockk, will carry the
standard of the Progressives. It seems
rather strange that ;the Progressives
should choose a townsman and the
Liberals a farmer, but more humor-
ous and unexplainable situations have
arisen on the political horizon:
The rural vote in North Huron is
almost twiceas
1 t la e: as• the urban,
F
The townships and their population
are: Ashfield 2,246; Colbor'I 1,346;
Grey 2,499; Howick 3,065;, Morris
r,go5; Turnberry r,563; East Wawan-
bsh 1,339, and West Wawanosh 1,515.
There are only two towns in the rid-
ing, Goderich with a population of 4,-
107, and. Wingham with a population
of 2,092. The three villages are: Brus-
sels, with a population of 870; Blyth
with 65o, and Wroxeter with 337.
`Official nomination takes place in
Wingham town hall on Monday; Sep-
tember 5th, with polling a week later.

TO THE ELECTORS OF NORTH HURON
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The campaign is on. As a candidate for the United
Farmers of North Huron I am in the field to stay until
the last vote is polled. The riding is ours by right of
inheritance; we won it twice in thirteen months, this al-
ways by the very nature of it --an almost wholly agricul-
tural riding. It will be ours on September x2th if we
work.
wi h
You will hear it said that I live in Fo rd c , and d am
not a farmer. It is true that I live in Fordwich, because
my work as a U.F.O. shipper takes almost all my time.
But I own fifty acres of land with twenty under cultiva-
tion this year. I have forty head of cattle tin grass and
I am feeding 4o hogs. I have never shipped cattle to any
other commission firm than the United Farmers' Co-
operative Company.
It istrue that Agriculture has often been betrayed
by its servants both in business and the political field,
but that isall the more reason why we should keep on
trying until we find people who will be true to our ins
terests and our principles.
Agriculture in Canada has a total investment of $7,-
54257,000, and last year produced $1,600,000,000. That is,
r e one; and how little o�
.00 tobe invested to odic t e f
,
$p
7
that one dollar a farmer was able to retain, he best knows.
IVIanufacturing in Canada has an
investment of
$3,-
808,289,981, and produced last year $2,948,545,315. That
is a three -dollar investment produced two dollars, a'nd. I
feel sure that the manufacturer retains a higher percent.,
age of the value of his production than does the farmer.
Surely agriculture, our basic', industry, needs repro
septation in the Dominion House, unfettered by party
ties -,--free to vote on the merits of each question as it
arises:
Such a member I will be if the people of North Hur-
on elect nae.
Yours sincerely,
SI ELDON BRICKED.

been most energetic in improving the
grounds and providing every conven-
ience for exhibitors,so that they have
a complete and satisfactory equip-.
meat. A nest of old buildings in the,
south-east corner have been removed,..
the grounds .levelled, and new ticket
booth and entrance gates erected.
Out of the material salvaged from the
room about
old buildings a ne - �� 25
by so has been erected, especially to
meet the needs of the Women's In-
stitute for serving meals and will be
community
a great convenience for
purposes. , - si
Now, the real success of the show
rests not with the energy of the dir-
ectors, the inducements of the prize
list, nor the attractiveness of .the
grounds. Rather the Society wants
the practical co-operation of the farm-
ers to bring out their lines of stock
and Produce and make a showing that
will confirm a widespread opinion
that this part of Huron county con-
tains just about the best ie the prov-
ince. A little friendly competition in
this natter will be profitable, so lookok
over your stock and see if you have
one animal, or some product of the
farm, just a little better than the av-
erage, and bring it in to swell the en-
try list.
Mr. A. G. Smith, secretary, will re-
ceive entries any time at his residence,
Victoria and Shuter streets.
Mr. J. F. McCracken, of Kingsville,
is a visitor in town this week.
