Y the time this woman finishes her hand of
bridge and reaches the telephone the arty
calling will have given up, The tardy bridge -
player will le told "Sorry — there's no one on
the line now, Madam'.
Both of them will be annoyed—the person calling
and the person called. Both ofjthem have wasted
titne. Remember—it takes three to complete a
calI—
There aro over one' million local calls in Ontario
and Quebec every day which fail to get through.
These uncompleted calls mean two million min-
utes a day wasted—congestion of traffic—cosistarit
irritation—a handicap to business,
Some of them are unavoidable and some of them
are our own errors. But many of them are mis-
takes made the persoti calling or the person
called. It takes three people to complete a call.
We are constantly striving to reduce our own
errors. We are now pointing out some of the
common errors in telephone :usage because our
Min is to provide the best possible telephone ser-
vice* and in telephone service, co-operation is
essential.

A Captivating.Carnival
With A Capital See
It SEEMS that our New Athletic,
Association MEANS business. HaV
ing tenderly probed its 'delicate, in-'
wardest interior;—a difficult objec-
tive,—but a sure source of reliable
information, I find this new Organi-
zation extremely' unfriendly to the
word SEEMS. It will not brook it
as a familiar, indeed. like Hamlet, it
knows not SEEMS.
Most positively, moreover, and be-
yond peradventure the Wingharn Ath-
letic Association means business, reale
genuine, busy -to -the -bone business.
It has started business in a business
like way, and is going to.carry on in
a like manner.—
Of that there is no shadow of
doubt,
No possible, probable shadow of
doubt,
No possible doubt whatever.
As an earnest of its most serious
intentions, it projects staging, as its
first "great venture," a "Carnival of
Sport." This Carnival will be held
in he Wingham Arena on the night
of Noveniber the 29th.
Looking at the atrociously attrac-
tive Programme of Events prepared
for this occasion, I feel absolutely
safe in predicting that no Radio in
Wingham will be listened in to beI
tween the hours of eight and eleven
fon that.. auspecious, ever memorable,
never to be forgotten evening', the
29th inst.
All the usual and unusual listening
in Radio fans will be at the Arena,
listening, perhaps a little, but look-
ing more, absorbed in the giddy go-
ings-on, giving .their eyes a stupen—
dous treat, and their ears a much
needed rest.
If you have not yet got a program
of events, secure one at once. Look
at it, rejoice in it. This Programme
offers such an opportunity of im-
bibing innocent merriment, of secur-
ing rational enjoyinent, of obtaining
splendid entertainment as never be-
fore come within mortal reach. This
Programme comprises Events to tit-
tivate every conceivable palette; ev-
ery human interest and penchant is
catered to. Oh, what a night it will
be, what a wonderful, memorable, de-
lightful night. What a night to look
back upon five, ten, ,fifteen years
from! now,
The Children are looking wistfully
forward to it.
The boys and girls in the High
School are in ecstacies over it.
Factory, and Shopmen will talk of
nothing else.
It will be a Community gathering.
Teachers, Doctors, Lawyers, Cler-
gymen; all have given it their bless-
ing. Farmer's '4,vives, for miles around
their dependent descendents, and in-
ctunbrances will be there.
One anxious rural woman, mother
of seven, with a somewhat phlegmat-
ic help-rnate was greatly concerned
to know how soon she would have
to be at the Arena to get a seat, "1
must see the Tugs of War," she said
(she spoke of these as she used to
speak of Dreadnoughts, and. Destroy-
ers). I assured her the Tugs of War
would be great sights. I knew she
and her mate had tugged just as
much as they had hugged since link-
ing up, and 1 sospicioned she wanted
to see the Tugs of War, and if poss-
ible glean from them how best to
get the vantage hand, and hold it.
I have no doubt she will get her re-
ward, and after the 29th will be able
to pull her husband any old way.
(Any other farmer's wife desiring a
likes ascendancy, please note.).
One High School girl asked me
what a 50 yard dash was, she said
she could ash fellows at a consid-
erably less distance. I forgave her
ignorance, and enlightened her, with
the result that she is going in for
the dash, and expects every other
dashing High School girl to do like-
wise,
A little boy of my acquaintance
asked me if he could eat Pie at the
Arena; I assured him he could, he
certainly can at home. Well, he said
"I am going to save up for it, and as
I ain't going to eat no pie till then,
I guess I can eat a whole lot that
night, mor'n most any boy I know."
The interest in the Carnival is
general and profound.
A bumper attendance is assured.
The Association will get the funds
they need to carry bn,
Alt's anyway all's well that
ends
The Carnival will and well, though
it will not be ALL, but merely a
foretaste of what the Association is
going to, give use-:-hless it.

HIGH SCHOOL LITERARY
SOCIETY
The third regular, meeting of the
High School Literary Society was
held in the Assembly Hall of the
school on Friday afternoon, Novem-
ber 15th. The President, Mr. Gor-
don Stonehouse, occupied the chair,
with Miss Kate King as secretary.
The meeting opened by the school
joining in the singing of the Maple
Leaf Forever, after which the minutes'
of the piyevious meeting were read
and adopted as read. Two choruses,
Alonette and The Swanee River, were
then sung by the students, Next
came the most interesting part of the
meeting—the debate between second
and third forms ---"Resolved that Can-
ada's natural resources are greater
than those of United States." The
affirmative was upheld by Miss Bet-
ty Walker and Mr. Charles Coulter
of third form. Miss Moir and Mr.
David Fortune represented second'
form on the negative side of the de-
bate. Following the debate Miss
Rita Hastie gave a delightful piano
solo which was enjoyed by all. Then
the Journal, by the editor, Mr. Ken-
neth McLeod, was given. After the
reading of the Journal Mr. Sperling
was called upon to give the judges'
decision. After la few witty remarks
he said although both sides had done
well, third form was successful. Mr.
Phillips, critic for the meeting, then
gave a few helpful suggestions. Two
more choruses were sung heartily' by
the school. The meeting closed by
the singing of the National Anthem.
FARM HELP
, George Spotton wishes the Ad
vance-Times to advise the farmers of
North Huron, that he is in a posi-
tion to put them in touch with sup-
erior English and Scotch boys, six-
teen to eighteen years of age. These
are young men of excellent ,,,habits,
eager to learn farming and come
from good homes. During the next
two months there will be a number
available at ten dollars per month for
the first year. It is almost impos-
sible to get boys of this type in the
spring. Now. would be a good 'time
to get them accustomed to the work
before the spring rush.
Mineral Salts Give Her
Tired Hubby New Pep
"My husband took 2 bottles of
Vinol. Now he has good appetiee and
imore strength, pep and vigor than he
ever had."—Mrs. Ralph Starkey,
Doctors have long known the value
of mineral elements iron, calcium
with cod liver peptone, as contained
in Vinol. Nervous, easily tired peo-
ple are surprised how Vinol gives
new strength, sound sleep and a BIG
appetite. Gives you more PEP to
enjoy- life! Vinol • tastes delicious.

'apartment of Agriculture)
Substitute Feeds
Certain by-products and rniscellan-
.
eous .feeds are now receiving increas-
ing attention in reducing the cost of
milk production. Pumpkins afford a
good supplement for fall and early
winter feeding but their nutritive val-
be is not nearly as high as corn sil-
age. It is a safe practice to feed cull
potatoes to cows providing they are
not fed too heavily. Apple wrnace
silage, the by-product of cider and
vinegar manufacture, is now being
safely and profitably used by many
dairymen.

Here and There
Some interesting extracts from the
last reports of the agricultural rep-e-
sentatives in the different countries
are presented herewith:
Wellington—A total of $20,000 in
cash was paid for geese at the Ar-
thur Thanksgiving Fair.' The price
ranged from 21 to 25 cents per pound.
We expect about 150 tons of chicken
in fine crate -fed condition for the
Christmas market. Some of this
should bring 35c a pound.
Manitoulin—The subject of turkeys
is now everywhere discussed. Where
as we used to think 16.and 17 pounds
good weight for young gobblers, they
now run 20 and 25, pounds. Local
stores are offering 40c per pound for
dressed turkey, The bulk of the crop
however, will be shipped alive.
Algoma — Good 2 -year-old steers
netted the farmers from $66 to;$70
per head according to size. Lainbs
from $9 to $10.50 per head.
Brant—Small quantities of red clo-
ver being marketed at $8 per bushel
cleaned.
Dufferin—Digging of turnips has
been completed. The crop is below
average in yield and quality.
Dundas—A great deal of ditching
has been done and is being done. The
dry weather this fall has been partic-
ularly adaptable for drainage work.
Durham—Some of our larger pool -
try farms are getting 60c and better
per dozen for their eggs.
Kent—A decided drop in the num-
ber of cattle to be fed appears prob-
able. Hay was a splendid crop, but
barley and oats were light and the
general feeling seems to be that it is
rather speculative to feed cattle with
present high prices of grain.
Lambton—Sugar beets are of a lar-
ge size and more free from disease
than they have been for the past two
years.
Dr. Christie, president of 0. A. C.,
states that a total of 1985 students,
including those in the short courses,
will have attended the college during
the current year.
School Fair Climax
As a cliniax to all School Fair
work in Renfrew County, champion-
ship public speaking, singing and har-
monica contests were held recently.
Winners in these contests from each
of the school fairs were eligible to
compete. Silver trophies were awar-
ded to the winners and medals to
each of the contestants, The compe-
tition proved very keen and the pro-
gram was heard by an audience of
400.
British Apple Maxket
Fruit growers will be pleased to
learn from the report of Andrew Ful-
ton, overseas representative of the
Ontario Fruit Growers' Association,
that the British market for Canadian
apples has been most satisfactory
during October, due chiefly to a light
offering of transatlantic apples. "On-
tario apples have been of exceedingly
high quality with correspondingly
satisfactory prices," remarks Mr. Ful-
ton. Ontario red apples were well
competed for and some excellent Mc-
Intosh Reds sold at good prices. How
ever, in a cable on Nov. 9th, Mr, Ful-
ton announced that Ontario apple pri-
ces were falling off somewhat on the
English market. The cause was at-
tributed to a large number of off -con -
clition apples from all sources, while
British apples were plentiful. It is
expected that the demand for red
apples will be very high before Christ
mas and shippers are warned to gia
easy on Greenings and Sta-ks beeore
•
that time.
Ontario apple growers should, give
closer attention to packing, especially
in securing a tight pack for the Brit-
ish market, Recent arrivals ovei seas
have sliown an excessive quantity of '
slacks amounting in some cases to
over fifty per cent. of the shipment.
Ontario beekeepers should appre-
elate the fact that the finest and most 1'
complete equipped ,bepartment of AP-
iculture in America is at their dis-
posal at the O. A, C.

cows undoubtedly give more milk
when they are watered freely. Ex-
perimental station tests have estab-
lished beyond a doubt the value of.
warni water for stock during winter
weather. In an actual test with fall
pigs, the use of automatic heated wa-
terers saved $1' per pig in feed costs.
A cow producing five gallons of milk
a day will drink 20 gallons of water.
If she is compelled to drink that
much ice water, her energy is requir-
ed. to heat it to body temperature and
her production suffers.
