Issued by an institution whic h is "Older than the Dominion of Canada.' Applications are accepted by • ABNER 'COSEN5 Wingham Ontario l j `� c eTimes Heli and There easily have been written today. There is one in The Canadian `;:our— ler on the tariff question. The IUn ited States is raising the ,ariff on Canadian goods and the editorial re- commends increased trade with Bri- tain. So„µads natural doe:sn't it? Wien there is another editorial writ- ten 25 years ago bemoaning the fast- ness of the age, They call it "the speedy age.” Horace Walpole said he was living in too fast an age, that. the girls of London did not stay quite long enough to find out what they were like. It was ever thus! Not so long ago golf togs were not a necessary part of the game. They seethed to be able to play it in plain pants. There is a picture of a four- some in which President Taft was playing. The President and another man had their coats o'ff and played in their vests. One man did not wear a vest but played in his shirt sleeves and the fourth wore a sweater -coat. Compare that picture with seine of the satoriai triumphs of to -day, Cars of all vintages :are here both in the advertisements and in the Il- lustrations. At one time in England cars were not allowed to exceed the speed limit of 4 miles an hour and all cars must be, preceeded by a pian bearing a flag. So there is a picture of a man driving a car and walking ahead of him solemnly clutching a flag, is the flag -bearer, It narclly seems credible but there it is• One car is advertised as the cheapest of the closed -ear class. It isonly $4500. There is an editorial on the motorist's greatest burden—tyre trouble! A car is advertised with its price including top, lights, and tools as pari of the equipment, at one time you paid ex- tra for all these. Woman's emancipation is shown in the clothes. 'Imagine having to"wear skirts trailing on the ground and yards around in width. :High hats perched up on top of a head of hair well bolstered with rats and, skewered with long .hat -pins. These were an- chored with long veils tied under the chin if going motoring and core of- ten if not going motoring. The idea seemed to be that no self-respecting carr would work properly if there was a woman in it without a veil, And . the bathing suits! Imt tense 1 bloomers with more cloth in them than is needed ft',r two bathing suits of to -day, The suits were usually sailor -suits and the skirts yere yards wide. No short skirts either for lad- ies were not supposed to have knees in those days, Long black stockings were worn, and very ;often shoes. No wonder women could not ;swim. The good old days? Perhaps. But who would like to go back to them? Cer- tainly not the women. i (301) The Prince •of Wales has again extended his •patronage to .the Banff Higblaed Gathering and Scot- tish Music Festival to be held this. summer at the Banff Springs Hotel U. the Rookies.. Pipers; dancers,, and athletes from all partsof the -country compete in these popular games Two ba4iy'black bears were great rattractioa><s 'recently at the 'Detroit •Sportmen's ` Show. They • were from Phil Laniothe at Mattawa, Ontario, and were escorted to their destination by a member of the •C. P. R. general tourist depart- ment, who had sundry scars to 'show 'in proof of the existence of She babies' first teeth. Enough flowers are planted by the Canadian Pacific Railway each .year. to beautify a couple of cities. 'The floral branch each year sends gout to, station agents and em- ployees along its line plants, bulbs, -shrubs, seedlings, and seeds by the tens of thousands to decorate the tcompany's .right-of-way. Five railway cars were required 'to move the equipment of the mam- moth Cassavant Organ recently in- stalled in the new Royal York Hotel in Toronto. The hotel is ' the tallest building in the British Empire. Tyndall stone, which shows to such great effect in the famous Banff Springs Hotel in the Rockies, is to be used in the construction sof the new building ?or the T. Eaton Company in Toronto, the first unit of which is now being built. )bliss Hazel Little of Toronto, is spending .her vacation at her home in town. Hints For Homebodies Written for The Advance -Times By Jessie Allen Brown A man said to hie -recently that he wished to goodness I would write something for the men to read for a change and cut out the cakes and pies. All very well, but I wager he likes to eat those same cakes and pies. We have no serious objection to the men reading our column if they really want to, for it would not hurt some of theta to learn what kind of •food they should eat but we certainly ale not going to write a column for their special benefit. Surely the women ,can have a little spot in the paper .for their very own. Justin case the women might like a charge from the above mentioned cakes and pies too, T am going to write about something Ise this week. It has been our good fortune to run across a stack of old magazines, hundreds of them, • The earliest dates are 1868 but most of them arc in the :last decade of last century and the first of the present. one. The present `,day magazines are a wonderful int- 1* provement on the older ones in make Lip and general appearance. The change in the personnel of the ,contributors is surprising. There are a few still ,contributing but not very ?many. Irwing Cobb, Booth,Tarking- ton, Mary Roberts Rhinehart, Cora i arras Dr. Woods Hutchinson, Theo- dore Roberts; Isaac lblarcossan are a t'few picked at random who still ap dear in the magazines. The old illustrations are riot as well 'reproduced and the quantityis much less, I ain struck with the predom inence of pictures of actresses. There are pages and pagesof thein in al most every tnagazine taken in the. most unnatural poses. The hands are 'particularly ftinny because they never look natural, the little finger being usually crooked in a very artificial manner. Some of the ladies are en- deavoring to look coy with a finger in their mouth. Even Billie Burke is taken like that. They abound with Green Room Stories. In one mus- ical criticism it bemoans. the fact the top prices at the Metropolitan Opera House have risen to $2 a seat but consoles the readers by telling them. they can hear the Wednesday mat- ince for 250. Even though they had '., boys hired to cool the air in the ,T theatres with palm leaf fans they had to close teem in the summer, There ate editorials which bright i ME" Campaign COMMUNITY BUYING DIRECTORY AND BUSINESS GUIDE E The Merchants and Business men represented below are co-operating in an effort tor town and surrounding community that val- ues equal to anyof the larger� towns or cities may prove to.the residents of the - , procuredseries of educational"Buy-at-Home" editorials will be reproduced weeklyalong.with qbe in -local stores.

Good -will, co-operation and the square deal make a successful partnership, not dissension and rivalry. Residents of Wingham and the surrounding rural districts must practice co-ordination and unity of effort to ensure the success of the entire community. Farmers, your market is in Wingham. Sell your wares in this town and buy your necessities here. Mer- chants, the farmers of this district are your patrons and friends. Buy their products and give them what their goods acre worth. Then sell them your merchandise on an honest and co-operative basis. Good -will and combined support for Wingham will result. With such a system in practice ,this town will soon become a leading community, The • money which the farmer pays for his necessities will remain here and that which the merchant pays the farmer will come back to him. The profits of trade will build up this community and not go to the support of competing cities. You as residents in your community must adopt the spirit of co-ordination, as well as team work. Make a concentrated effort to bring to Wingiham the outlying trade, and by doing this you will build slowly but surely for a bigger and better business, and a better community in which to live. H. E.

JOHN GALBRAITH Is perhaps the oldest established business house in 'Wingham, for it is many years since he opened up in a modest -way, and year by year he watched his business expand. Conservative and meth- odical in his attitude, Mr. Galbraith believes quality is recognized, and pays particular attention to the 'same. He has a particularly well assorted stock, and if he specializes in, any one line, then linens might be mentioned. With the exception of a few months some years ago, Mr. Galbraith has been continuously in business since the totem was not so'importatit as it is to -day, WALKER Furniture Peeler and Fu era1 Director.
