THE MINSTREL REVUE
Another Big Success Staged by
Wingharn Talent
The storm on Thursday and Friday
nights kept a great many people from
atteading the Lion's Club Minstrel
Revile in Wingham Town Hall on
those dates. •
Those who attended. are unanimous
in their praise for the mannerin which
the play was put on. Mr. Frank R.,
Thomas, instructor for the John B.
Rogers Producing Co., is a live wire
and while firm with his class, won the
highest esteem of all who came in
contact with him. •
The Minstrel Revue was well re-
ceived and everyone without an ex-
ception did his or ,her part, well. As
end'rrien, colored, one would, have to
travel a long way before they could
find the equals to W. J. Boyce, R. As

The Owen Sound Sun -Times has
the following to say of the event:
"Late on Thursday Skip Murray of
Wingharn annexed the Lemon Bros.
trophy when he defeated Brock Mac-
Auley, veteran Southampton curler,
in the final 13-7.
In the fifth round of the Lemon
Bros. trophy play Murray got a bye.
Slap Sutherland of St Thomas put
out the last Owen Sound rink when
he defeated T. W. 'Thomson 11-7, af-
ter a hard fight, while MacAuley put
W. Pilgrim, the Meaford veteran, in-
IbtoaFtitolhert the
dbiscard 53-15 in an exciting
semi-final MacAuley drew
a bye and Murray put out Suther-
land's St. 'Thomas rink 8-6. In the
final, -played at an early hour in the
morning IVIacAtdey failed to stop the
Winglians rink and was beaten 13-7.
In the Bishop & Pringle trophy an
Owen Sound rink again entered the
final. This was j. B. McGill's. Mc-
Gill disposed of Bonnell's Owen
Souhd rink in the semi-final 11-9, af-
ter a tidy battle, while Sutherland of
St. Thomas drew a bye. On Fri-
day morning the rinks battled it out.
The 'spell has been the best in the
history of local curling. E-ery one
of the 29 outsider entries put in an
appearance and took the ice. Both
of the two first trophies went to mit-
side rinks but an Owen Sound rink
survived to the final in the Oak Hall
and the Bishop & Pringle competi-
tions.
Sutherland's St. Thomas rink cap-
tured the Bishop & Pringle trophy,
thus making a clean sweep, for visit-
ing rinks. They beat 5. B. McGill's
Owen Sound rink 12-9. Owen Sound
curlers thus entered the finals in all
three events."

MY MORNING CHORES
Writtenefor The Advance
I leave my bed at six o'clock,
And fast as I am able
Go out to feed my little flock
That winters in the stable,
I scatter down softie corn or. wheat,
I always think it better
To let them find it with their feet
, Among the leaves and litter,
always give ,an extra batch
If cold the wind is blowing,
This keeps them always on the
scratch
Arid keeps the roosters crowing,
I put a coat on every hen,
And stockings on the setter,
I put the roosters trousers on
And button up his sweater
I dress the rabbits all in fur,
And fumigate their hutches,
And feed opr little crippled cur
That goes about on crutches,
1 give the cats an oyster stew
They nearly burst their stomachs,
Sometimes I have to help them
through
By giving hypodermics,
The birds get hypophosphites
They tell me this is splendid
To cleanse the blood and kill the nites
It's highly recommended,
I give the gold fish tanlac
Which makes them act to frisky
You'd really think the little pack.
Had all been drinking Whiskey,
The feeder full of coal 1 heap
And sift a pan of ,ashes
And if the snow is very deep
I Slip on my goloshes
And shovel sitow for half a block
To help my friends and neighbors
Awl then 1 have a mile to walk
To start my daily labor ,
T. A, Calhoun, Lotidon.
The minister of a certain parish in
Scotlaint was walking one misty night
through a. street in the village when
he fell into a deep hole. There was no
ladder by which he could make his es-
cape, and he began to shout for help.
A laborer passing heard his cries, and,
looking down, asked him who he was.
The minister told him, whereupon the
laborer refilarked. "Wet', weel, ye
octana kick op Sic a noise, You'll no
be heeded before Sawbath, art' this is
only WedrieSday nicht."

Heroine's Reward A Liability
When the Murrell gang, in April,
rgas held up the Horne Bank at Mel-
bourne, Agnes Campbell who was in
the tellers cage, foiled the bandits by
locking the vault and giving the
alarm.
The president of the Bank and the
Board of Directors said: "We must
do something for Miss Campbell to
show our appreciation of her heroism
and service." They did, presenting
her with three shares of Home Bank
stock Now as a shareholder, she is
faced with a Suit for $300 because of
the double liability penalty to share-
holders. •
Should Get His Deserts
That the sad case of Charlie 13u1-
pitt, who' evidently hanged himself on
a farm near Goderich, in order to es-
cape from the bullying of the man
with whom he was engaged, should
rouse so much sympathic interest
speaks well for the people_ generally.
But the case goes to show that there
are some men who are totally unfit
to have a boy entrusted to their care,
No doubt the majority of boys who
are placed in homes as Charlie Buis
pitt was, are treated reasonably well,
and find a real home; but occasionally
brutally selfish People take a boy or a
girl with no other purpose than to ,
make a slave of them—to get all the '
work possible out of them regardless
of the young person's health or. wel-
fare. .
Money Lost to Wingham
Mr. H. C. MacLean of the INesteril
Foundry Co:, Ltd„ Wingham, is re-
ported to have stated that had all the
furnaces bought outside of town been
bought front their foundry there
would ha -re been at least $6000 mare
spent in Wingham in wages and there
would have been no idle time for
foundry workers. This is a phase of
the question, which needs looking in-
to and adjusting in several towns this
size. It is true in every line of work.
In the printing with which the writer
is most familiar, if The Advance office
had received all the orders given. to
peddlers, we could have employed two
more printers during all of 1923 and
that would have meant about $2,500
of wages being spent in Wingham last
year.
These printing orders are in most
cases given by business men, friends
of our own, who when addressed by
a smooth stranger, who explains how
much money he can save them if they
only take several thousand tags or
envelopes instead of the order fer 50e
;which they intended to get and which
'they would in no case think of get-
ting more of when ordering locally
Get together, work together and
'boost the town you live in. That's
'the only way to make it a successful
'pleasant town to live in.
The man who is too loyal to give
his printing to an outsider, thinks we
are wide in our statements and the
;businessman who gives only a couple
of small orders does not think we
mean him. At a recent meeting of
the 'Wingham Council's finance com-
mittee two accounts from local men
were presented vvhich bore the R 5,

of neighbors or the authorities to the
brutal treatment he was subjected to.
