REGISTRATION RESULTS The work of compiling the Regisstration returns for NOith Huron has been com- pleted at the °nice of the Registrar, II. • 14ti1tnnY, 1 )ungannon, and for the infor- nsdion of the publie the results are pub- lished below. A total of 16007 registered before and oil June 2,2ul, 7110 males and 81127 nales, This ie regarded as very • complete. In fact it exceeded the ex- pectatint of the Registration Board:nt atawa who made allowance fora certain 18311111.tOW not being able to attend for registration because of sickness, etc. However, due to the diligence of the capable Deputies and assistants most of Wises' were looked after prior to Registra- tion day with the result that it can be dteinitely stated there are no more than iifty unregistered persons in the Riding today. In the townships it will be noted the male arul fernale population is about equally divided but in the towns the fe- melee are la the majority by several hundred, this being due to the fact that there are many husbands overseas The following is the standing of the various townships, towns and villages.

The total male population by theurban centres is slightly over 1800,. so that the percent is nearly 70. This reflects well on the patriotism of the people of North Huron. Information on these cards have been extracted by the Registrar for the Organization of Resources' Committee of Toronto who will make immediate use .01 them, The totals- for the different towns and villages are as follows:— Goderich 406, Wingham 326, Brussels 98, Bluevale -25, Blyth 116, Walton 30, Dungannon 59, Wroxeter .53, Fordwich 48; . Gorrie 72, Ethel 34, Belgrave 35. The total number of Deputies appoint- ed was 116 and the number of assistants 260. These and others who offered their services the Registrar heartily thanks for the splendid work they did during Regis- tration week. As soon as the returns are received from Ottawa the Registrar hopes to publish in the toilet press a list of the workers showing the. assigned remuner- ation to the Red Cross Fund. The Registrar also thanks the people of North -ffaron for responding so readily and willingly to the provisions of the Registration Act. . Belmore Mrs. (Rev.)

Sommer School Most I3usiness Colleges take summer holidays but the ever increasieg attend- ance and the great demand for graduates of the Spottorr Business College, Wing - ham, Ontario has made it imperative that ,. no holidays be taken this year, Students may therefore enter any day and pursue their course 'throughout the Fall Term without interruption. This school is popularly known as the. "Model Business College of Ontario," ISk our graduates of the past fifteen years, they are to be found in such positions as:— Suprenie Court Stenographer of the Pro- vince of Saskatchewan. Principal of Bud. tress Oillege, (among thern Principal of Commercial Department .of Detroit Busi- ness University), Business Managers Private Secretaries, etc. After ten to fifteen years experience in Canadian and American cities our graduates look back to the old echool and say "No Better!' This school employs no agents to prowl around the country telling "fairy tales" to the uirsuespecting. If interested in a business -education write for particulate before deciding on inferior Schools. This sCitool enrolled "five times" as many students as any other school in tiliS dis- trict last year, "There's a Reason." Write for it. It pays to "investigate" be- fote "investing."

No matter how we may be politically divided, all unite in hoping that the future may be prosperous for our fair domain and that ere another year we will once more have peace on earth. No Advance Last Week We never realized •how much The Ad- vance was appreciated until we were compelled to withhold publication of last week's issue owing to the lack of power to run our large press which was recently in- stalled. We are told by the subscribers that it was the first week that The Advance did not appear for seen years.

After fifty years of rvice the bamboo organ in ,the Church of St. Francis Xavier, Tungkadoo, Shang. hal, Is still In fairly good condition, It Is stated that there is one other bamboo organ in the Orient, but it Is not possible at this time to seeure any definite infernaatioa relative te its whereabouts or condition. Att metal pipes are to replace the bane - boo in the Shanghai organ, that wil- ed instrument will lose much of its public interest.. In a recent Issue of the North China Daily News (Brit- ish), of Shafighai, the folloWing Oro- ment appears regarding the totfe of the historic bamboo organ: "It would be better if it were completely in tune, for a long 'wave beat similar to the short one which gives the beauty of the tremulous vox coeleae tis, betrays the fact that it Is not. Possibly it never was, for banabeie does seeni refractory stuff for organ building,.

Dear Friend:— Just a few lines for old times and to let you kaow how I am getting along, 1 guese you will already know that I have been wounded. I was bit in -the right ankle by a machine gun bullet it didn't bit the bone and its a good job for me that it didn't or I might have lost my foot. I Was sent out in no man's land with some more of the boys on patrol. It was on the tenth of May, we were out all night until about 3 o'clock in the morning and about that time the old Hun opened up with his guns of every kind you could name so, we started back to our lines. I got within about three rods of our line when I felt something bit me in the ankle and knock- ed me off my feet, I thought it was one of the other fellows hit me with his foot and I ask him what he was doing kicking me, he says its the old Hun thatS bit you and sure enough it was. I put my hand down and felt my foot end found a hole through my boot. You don't feel it much at the time but you do a little while after. • My wounds are doing fine now, I am able to go around with a pair of crutches. I Was out to -day for the first since I was wounded. There is three of us over here in Blighty now, Frank he came over wounded in the knee. and Harry he came over sick but he is alright again now, al- though it will be sometime before he goes back to France I think he will likely get a job in this country, I am going to do all I can to get him one and I don't think it will be very hard to do so either, sa that leaVes just two of us in France I don't .know what you people think of the war over there now, no doubt you will think it very dark, well all I can say is wait for a little while and you will think that its getting a good bit brighter Are we down -hearted? no not yet and I hope to be able soon to, get hack to France- and take my place beside my brother's and get another shot at the old Hun, they' won't fight fair but we will and we are bound to win. There is One who rules over all and vZie must trust in Him and all will be well. and I hope it will soon be all over and let us boys home again. Won't the meeting be grind it will be the greatest day In my life if I am spared and if I am not why I have done my duty like a Canadian sol- dier should do. • I am in a ver Y nice place here in Lon- don, I am the only, Canadian in this ward there is men from every country very near, from Austria, Canada and all over. and a fine bunch Of fellows they are too. I had a Canadian Red Cross girl in to see me to day and we had a good talk about dear old Canada the best and sweetest country in the. World and when this young lady went away, she sent back a pair of light walking bootsso it wouldn't hurt my foot when I 'ane able to walk on it.

(Umlaut, after having mot with suc- cess in his polar exploration. According to it cable message receiv- ed from M. 1. Nyeboe, the Danish explorer earrled out his expedition and reached De Longs Fiord, The message stated that Rasmussen man- ned the great fiords, but found no traceof former human occupancy; 'that he found no game and encoun- tered bad conditions generally. With the message came the news of the death of Dr. Thorild Wulff, Swedish botanist, and it Greenlander in the , far north. Both were raembere of the Rasmussen expedition. Rasmussen is the secretary of the Cane York committee, the associa- tion of Danish business men and scientists who establiehed in 1910 the scientiac arid trailing station at North Star Bay, to the members of which the Crocker Land expedition sent out by the American Museum was indebted for many courtesies and much assistance. In 1910 Ras- mussen, went to the Smith Sound region with the purpose of crossing- Ii/STUD RASMUSSEN. the ice and visiting. PearYland wines he was to make geographical and ethnographical observations. Ile wan accompanied by Lauge Koch, it young Danish geologist with training in the mapping and sketching of land fea- tures, Reaching North Star Bay in June. 1916, they forted that it was imprac- ticable to organize the expedition ovet,the ice with any,reaSenable pros- pect of safe return that year. Hence they established themselves at the trading station and wintered there 1916-17. Late in September, 1916, the Danmark, the. second relief ship of the Crocker Land expedition, ar- rived at North Star—Bay, having on board as 'passenger the Swedish bo- • tanist, Thorild Wulff. Tne Daninark became icebound at Intanag, near North Star Bay, anderemalned' there during the winter of 1916-1917. Early in AprII, 1917, Rasmussen., Koeh, and Wulff, attended by a large number of Eskimos with their sledges and dog teams; started north. ward to fulfil the original objects of Itasalussen's expedition.. :At Etah they met Donald B. MacMillan, leader. of ' the Crocker Land expeni- tion, just before he started on his • journey to Findlay Land, ' Rasmussen's plan was outlined to Dr. Edmund Otis Hovey, of the scien- tific staff of the American Museum. (who headed the third expedition sent to the relief of the Crocker Land party, and who, as he was sledging southward, 'met Rasmussen at -North Star Bay), as follows: Rasmussen, Koch, And Wulff were to go on the sea lee through Smith Sound, Kane leasin, and Kennedy Channel to .Fort Conger, then across to the Greenland side and map the coast northward as far as it was practicable to travel, at the -same time searching for any indi- cations of ancient occupation of the extreme part of Greenlend by Eekl- mos. Dr, Wulff and his driver, Hen- drik Olsen, a Greenlander, were to be left on the south side of Peary Fiord (Peary Channel), while Rasmusseu and Koch, with their Eskimos, ad- vanced into • Pearyland. On his re- turn from Pearyland Rasmussen was to pick up Wulff, aud the whole par- ty, abandoning every item Of super- fluous baggage, were to make a dash sonthward over the lee to North Star Bay or noM0 other convenient place Where they could pend the winter of 1917-1918 if they were tee late to. got out in 1917. The cablegram just received from the Cape York committee gives the Information that Rasmussen's enter- prise was successfully carried out as far no the first great fiord from Peary Fiord, but that Dr. Wulff and his as- sociate were overtake:a by some acci. dent or perhaps lost on the journey soleth ward.
