AERO-CUSI-IION . TIRES, PLACE
WINGHA1VI ON TI -IE MAP
1Wingharn Fair a Success New
• That Aero -Cushion is becomin•g
known the world over as a product
of unquestionable superiority in the
• tire world was amply demonstrated
on Teusday of this week, when an
-order for a shipment of tires was re-
ceived from Jerusalem. When one
•considers that .these consignments
,are due to pi -oven tests in the•climat-
lc conditions which preVail in that
land, aided by the mediuxi of adver-
tising—the preducts of the Aero-
• Cushion Tire Company are placed in a
very favorable light. We, as resi-
• ••dents of the town of Wingham, prof-
it by the advertisement; given our
town throughout the world. The
rapid svead of the name "Aero -Cush -
:ion," aind the obvioris success of it
•as a pkoduct, makes for increasing
'1 growth and expansion; of Wingham's
;premier product.'
_King's Majority Increased at Howick
Mr. John W. King M.• P., tells us
there was a discrepancy in the el-.
• cction at Number 5, Howick. The
• gdiscrepancy was that MacEwan got
113 and 'King'86 votes, but it should
• 'have_ been King /33, and MacEwan
436 votes: This leaves King with a
majority over all of 345 votes. •
Raspberries in October
• Mr. Jas .• Young, East Waveanosh,
• :brought a splendid iarge branch of
.a raspberry bush to our office on
October 7th. Several luscious fed
agerires were growing on the vine.
What better climate does a person
wish'for titan one that grows a second
crop of ra.spberries in the month of
October. '

Ontario Dental Health Day
Building Filled to Overflowing
•
The weatherman smiled on Wing-
hdn: Fair on Thursday and Friday
last, and the attendance was excellent,
While the cattle and horses were not
quite so large as last year the inside
exhibits, viz. Ladies' Work, Fine Arts,
Flowers,. etc. were far more numer-
ous than for years. There were a
couple of disappointments, one the
Hon. J. S, Martin, Minister of Agri-
culture, found he could not get here,
and the children were disapointed in
that the midway and ferris wheel did
not show up. The GraYs shows wired
the secretary, stating that they
would be her; and evenon the 'day
before the show calred us up asking
us to speak ,for hotel accomodation
for five men who Nir. ould be likely to
motor in about 2 o'clock in the morn-
ing. Why they did not arrive we do
not know. •
Compliments were to be heard on
every hand. People were. enthissi-
a.stic over the splendid building and
a few handed the Treasurer unsolici-
ted donations to assist the building
fund. • Others have asked that the
committee call at the place of bus-
iness. The building cost in the nei-
ghborhood of $1700. This would
llave been considerably more but for
the wonderful assistance given by
many in the carpenler work and the
ladies were not behind, for they
eheerfully gave their services in the
painting and putting on of 'the finish-
ing touches. Over rsoo separate en-
tries were made for the exhibits,
which filled the large building. The
tables, roo feet in length, were piled
from one end to the other with fancy
work, fine ants, etc, and the corner
set apart for flowers had to be used
for other exhibits while the flowers
were 'crowded into the centre exhib-
it.
The intention of the Fair board was
to have industrial and mercantile ex-
hibits, inn the centre „spaces, but ,rner-
chants and manufacturers had to be

the town. Well not what you can
notice: It is opposite, and just a few
rods from the Wingliam Hydro, Sta.',
tion, with its beautifully kept flower
beds, the pride of Mr. Isaac Walker,
and one of the beauty spots of Wing -
ham. While assisting at the work
about the building before the fair, we
noticed two different' altos , drive to
the bank of the Maitland, and spread
out a cloth for lunch, even though
the tourist season is over, and bath-
ers were also enjoying the col waters
for a late dip. '
The Women's Institute had charge
of the refreshment privileges at Wing -
ham Fair this year, and certainly
did a big business. To the ladies
should go a good glare of the cred-
it for the success of the fair.
Without exception the judges this
year were well qualified. for their
work: More especially can this be
said of Mr. Jack Dundas of Markdale,
who judged the Ladies' Work,an0
fine arts, and Mr. A. R. G. Smith of
New Hamburg, a former president of
the Ontario Fairs Association, who
judgedthe roots, vegetables and the
grains. The judge on light horses
was Mr. Geo, W. MacDonald, of Mc-
Intyre, the judge of heavy horses, Mr.
Thos. W. Findlay of Flesherton, the
poultry judge Mr. Lorne Famish of
the Agricaltural Representatives' staff
at Clinton, the beef cattle judge, Mr.
j. A. Cerswell of Beaton, and the
dairy cattle Sheep and swine judge
was Mr. R. S. Brooks of Brantford.
Mr. J. M. Graham, florist of Wing -
ham, judged the flowers, and Mt. 13.
J. Beninger of Wingham, judged the
dairy and provisions. In this he was
nssisted by Mr. J. N. Allen of Toron-
to, who was sent from the department
to judge fine arts, but who felt Mr.
Jack Dundas was more qualified to
judge fine arts. Last but not least
comes the judges of the baby show.
Mr. A. M. Bishop, Manager of the
Dominion Bank, arid Mr. Chas. Van
Norman were the ones. Their task
was a difficult one, and it indeed takes
a brave man to single out a baby for
first prize with -the eyes of several
other motheve, who know their baby
is the best, watchingl him. -They a-
war7ded the $5.00 to the infant son of
Mrs. Alf. Pierce of Blyth. Mr. Camp-
bell, president of the Society, present-
ed each of the other babys with $1.00.
• Mr. Dundas was a judge of ladies'
work at the Toronto Exhibition, and
he was very enthusiastic about the
wonderful display in this department.
He says heniever saw as large a dis-
play outside a city. -
The men who had games. and booths
were evidently well pleased. for Mr.
Mahr has handed us the following
letter of appreciation for publication:
To the President and Directors of
Wingham Fall Fair: .
On behalf of those having concess-
ions, who had space at 'the 1926 fair, -
we wish to thank you for the cour-
tesies extended and feel safe in stat-
ing that after playing at fairs • and
entertainments for the last fifteen
years, we can say that if the director
follow the same plan with the motto
of welcome, which they showed us,
they will have one of the best and
biggest fairs in Western Ontario, as
they were never too busy to listen to
man's wants and make him feel
welcome. Thos.' j. Mahr, London,
Ont.
On Monday afternoon . the fire
-.alarm was sent in, and, liremen and
others rushed to the home of Mrs.
Henderson, Walter Street.
On arriving, they found it to be an
•overheated chimney. After making
4sole in the roof, they were able
to check thelgre by means of extin-
guishers. Fortunately no great tlara-
,2ge was done. ,

that they rented .most • of the space

that the Society should buy the corn-

of a track, not a race track, but a
track worthy of showing horses and

ture would be soon met. A few still

TI -IE WINGI-IAM FAIR
Editor:
Wingham Advance -Times:
Whither or not the gate receipts
of this year's Fair have exceeded
those of former years, the testimony
of those, whose testirrrony is vvorth,
while proclaitns our latest fair, out
best one. This acclamation is in .s
fact unanimous, the "ayes" have sit,
the "naes" are either undemonstrain
lye, or non- existent.
• This is as it should be. The word
"NO" is one which Canadians should
never, or hardly ever utter the other
unsavory, and nefarions negative '
"can't"is likewise doomed.
"No we wont" and "Cant be done"
these phrases are no longer legiti-
mately usable. "Yes we will", "Sure
we can" have superceeded them; ha-
vpushed them off this portion of the
globe, with •an energy and ruthless-
ness worthy of the deed, for ever
and ever. ,
So,with regard to next year's fair
will we make it better and bigger,
Unhesitatingly we answer, "Yes we
will." But, call we? Again a bony -
ant affirmative, we can. 4
We will, we can. How? Lets be-
gin thinking, How, now. Then next
year when now is gone, how will
conspicuously exhibit its indebtetd-
nese to the "Now" that was father .to
the "Now" that then will be.
Oh; Wingham Fair lo'e ye weel,
As sure does every worthy chiel:
Within your precincts twelve mile
• square,
'There's none liculd miss the Wing -
ham Fair.
Oh; Wingham Fair I icee ye weel,
To you my heart is ever leal;
My fairest flowers to you I'll take,
My richest cakes for you I'll bake.
I'll bring' you Ducks, and Cocks and
Hens, •
In cage of wire or wooden pens,
Right pleased rn be if judges wise,
Bestow upon my "Birds" a prize.
If what I bring is reckoned poor,
I'll better bring next year that's sure
There s nothing I wont do or dare,
To win a prize at Wingham Fair.

Sellers Harris Nuptials
A quiet autumn wedding was sol-
emnized at the Kippen Manse, by Rev.
R. A. Lundy, a former pastor in Brus-
sels, when Miss Rita Olivia, young-
est daughter of Mrs. Harris, r6th'con-
eesison, Grey, and the late Oliver
Harris, became the bride of Harper
Roy Sellers, eldest son of Joel Sell-
ers of Morris, and the late Mrs. Sell-
ers, The bride looked charming in
her two-piece frock of thrush silk
wool with hose and small velvet hat
to match. Her corsage bouquet was
of Illy of the valley, sweetheart roses
and stotic, Later Mr. and 'Mrs. Sell-
ers left to a breif honeymoon in Leax-
ington, and other points in the United
States. For travelling Mrs. Sellere,
wore a thush vetotir coat, trimmed
with mandel fur over her 'two-piece
frock, and carried a bag to match.
The bridegroom's gift to the bride
was a rope of pearls. Mr. and Mrs,
