The members of the Wingham Salva-
tion Army Corps met in the citadel on
Tuesday evening to bid farewell to their
Capt., A. W. Martin, prior to his leaving
for his new field in London. The follow-
ing address and presentation:
July 23rd, 1918.
Capt. A. W. Martin,
We, the soldiers and friends of the
Wingham Corps, upon this your departure
to other fields of labour in the Master's
vineyard, wish by this small token to
Blore to you our esteem of your ' character
a
et
a christian gentleman,'and a man called
of God to His Service and our apprecia-
tion of your effects while with us in the
face of almost- unsurmountable difficulties
to bring precious souls to Christ and to
cheer and help along the narrow way
which leads to Life .those who had al-
ready started to make the journey.
In the. days which follow your cheery
smile and bright experience will be greatly
missed by all here and as you take your
place among new surroundings'the prayers
of your friends here will follow you and
'°the wishes for a successful future in the
, Lord's Service will accompany your foot-
steps where'er He may lead you in the
coming days,
Our feelings can best be expressed by
the words of the poet:
Yet must we part, and parting, weep;
What else hath earth for us in store?
These farewell pangs, how sharp and deep!
These farewell words, how sad and sore!
Yet we shall meet again in peace,
To sing the song of festal joy!
Where none shall bid our gladness cease,
And none our fellowships destroy. '
There,- hand to hand, firm linked at last,
Axed heart to heart enfolded all!
W '11 smile upon the trouble past,
And wonder why we wept at all.
The Lord bless thee and keep thee; the
Lord make His face to shine upon thee,
and be gracious unto thee; the Lord lift
up His countenance upon thee, and give
thee peace.
Signed on behalf of the comrades and
friends of the Wingham Corps.

Nomintsted for Seat Vacated by Mr. A, H.
Musgrove's Resignation
The Liberals of North Huron held a
nominating convention in the Town Hall,
Wingham, on Thursday afternoon, which
was very largely attended, notwithstand-
ing the warm weather and busy season
with the farmers. Delegates were present
from every one of the forty-one polling
subdivisions in this riding. About half of
the delegates and of those not delegates
were women. The meeting was strongly
-in favor of a contest for the Legislature to
fill the vacancy caused by the resignation
of A. H. Musgrove to accept the Wing -
ham postmastership.
Seven names were placed in nomination,
viz,: J. W. King, Bluevale; W. H. Fraser,
Reeve of Morris; Abner Cosens, Wing -
ham; J. G. Anderson, Lucknow; John N.
McKenzie, Ashfield; Wm. Bailie, Dun-
gannon, and John Farrish, Ashfield,
Short addresses were delivered by the
sev.rat candidates, and all retired except
Messrs. King and Fraser On a vote
being taken, Mr. King was declared the
choice of the meeting, and en resolution
he was given its endorsation.
Mr. King is a successful farmer residing
in Turnberry township at the village of
Bluevale, and will make an exceedingly
strong eandidate, although many of his
friends do not see any reason why they
should at the present time vote against
the Hearst government.
Can We Chain the Fire Fiend?
There are some very interesting and in'
structive diagrams in a bulletin on forest
fires just issued by the Forestry Branch of
the Department of the Interior. These
diagrams show that throughout Canada,
whenever the rainfall becomes unusually
light, the number of fires increases.
Generally speaking, ton, the higher the
temperature the greater the danger of
fire. The bulletin is entitled " Forest
Fires in Canada 1914 1916 ", and the
extent of the losses to the nation from this
cause makes the publication of particular
value. The statement of these losses will
aid in arousing Canadians to the need of
stopping forest fires and details of
statistics will show that forest fires can
be stopped just as surely as losses are kept
down: by a good fire brigade in a • city.
With the exception of lightning, all forest
fires are started by men, and if men were
careful there Would be no fires. The suc-
cess of systematic fire protection measures
is shown and the whole bulletin gives much
valuable information on this important
subject. Copies may be had free on
application to the Director of Forestry,

Studying Huron's Interests
Mr. S. 13. Stothers, Huron's Agricul-
tural Representative, was in Guelph last
week attending a convention of county
representatives from all over the province.
They discussed the work in the different
counties and exchanged ideas on methods,
etc. Some of the counties have been
organized for ten years or more and
consequently their representatives have
their work well in hand. Most of the
larger counties have a representative and
an assistant During the week the agri-
cultural men visited the experimental
station at Vineland and there studied at
first hand methods of dealing with some
of the pests and: diseases which attack the
different fruits of the field, orchard and
vine. Itcannot

on looking over a map of the province
which the Government had just sent him,
"is second to none. I've etways heard

NUT FLYING IN FRANCE
Extracts from letter received by Mr. R.
M, Jones, manager of the Dominion Bank
at Seafortli from a brother in France.
"The sight of an aeroplane overhead
now -a -days is not an event that evokes
excitement or even comment; in fact
all flying is now taken for granted all over
the world and everyone has read nuin-
erous articles on the subject, so it would
be useless to repeat what so many have
written before roe.
There is one branch of flying, however,
that is not very familiar and that is night
flying. Flying at night sounds hazardous
and exciting but as a matter of fact, when
one bus made two or three trips at night
and has learned to fly the machine with-
out the aid of instruments, night flying
becomes as simple. as day flying. The
only extra risks in firing at night are in
the events of becoming lost or having
engine failure,
The natural question is, "How does one
find bis way around in the dark?" The
night pilot relies on his compass almost
entirely, but uses such land marks as he
can see to check his course. Even on a
very black night (providing' there is no
fog) rivers ani bodies of water are quite
visible, while roads are also good as they
show up white and are very useful in
pointing the direction to the night pilot
In France where roads are so numerous
nd canals stretch in every direction and
he country is covered with woods of
ecuiiar shapes, night flying is much
asier than in England and only on excep-
onally misty nights does a pilot become
so hopelessly lost that he finds it impos-
ble to find his aerdrome.

RY.LAW CARRIED
Keen interest was taken in the voting
on Monday on the by-law to loan $7000
to the Farmer's Fertilizer Co. Ltd., of
Wingham. Several citizens could not get
it out of their heads that the Fertilizer
p'ant would not be the means of an un-
pleasant oclour in town, but evidently the
people who lived nearest to the new factory
were not alarmed since only six voted
against the by-law in Ward 5,
The voting was done in three polling
places. Wards 1 and 2 voted in the
Overland Garage, while 3 and 4 wards
were looked after in the town hall. Ward
5 was in its usual booth at A. Bell's
house, The vote was as follows:
For Against
Overland Garage .. , ..... 85 18
Town Hall 115 27
A. Bell's .. . 23 6
The total vote cast was 269 which gives
the bylaw 44 of a majority over the
necessary two-thirds. The neMber of
people privileged to vote on the by-law
was 658,

Opening Oshawa School
Ex -Mayor Spotton was in Oshawa last
week establishing a Commercial School in
that town. Oshawa has a population of
almost 10,000 and is growing rapidly, and
up to the present has had no business
college. The Advance sincerely hopes
that this new venture will meet with the
same success as the other Spotton Col.
leges, and especially ours during the past
fifteen years. Wingham is proud of the
Spotton Business College, which brought
almost 100 young people to town last
year, and can heartily recommend Mr.
Spotton and his colleagues to the good
people of Oshawa.

has heard from several (reliable) sources
that a quart of booze will be allowed
weekly to married men and suggests that
hopeful North Huron folk may plunge
into matrimony. The Advertiser, of
course makes its dream pleasant by stat-
ing that there are those who think it is
merely an election dodge as there is to be
a contest in North Huron, Any right
thinking man will laugh at the idea and
especially when they venture that the
quart of booze may be granted by the
government that had the backbone to en-
force prohibition. The story will not be
taken seriously when coming from The
Advertiser. North Huron folk are pos-
sibly not as thirsty as the writer of The
Advertiser's article.

Deserter Dives tiintsetf Up
Pte. Henry J. Letzgus of near Cargill,
who while home oh leave last winter from
the military camp at London deserted
from the army, and discrrding his khaki
clothes rook to the Greenock swamp,
where he went into hiding and has suc-
ceeded for nearly six months in evading
thh authorities, walked into Kincardine
and gave himself up to Chief Constable
Farrel there last Thursday. I3ush f,Iife it
seems, had given him a rather wile appea-
rance, his long heavy crop of whiskers
suggesting that he hadn't seen a razor
from the time he beat it to the tall tim-
bers, Hiding in the vast Greenock
swamp, Letzgus was easily able to elude
the different searching .parties that were
sent out at different times to capture him,
Another chap, who also hit for the swamp
to evade military duty and was thought
ut
to have been Cl

with Letzgus, came out some time ago and
gave himself up, and was duly dealt with
at London, 'firing of the life of an out -
low, Letzgus who was reported to have
been armed and for whose capture it was
feared blood might have to be spilled,
agreeably surprised the authorities by
emerging from bis retreat and peaceably
surrentiersng last week. On being taken
to London Letzgu:; signed a confession of
ticsertiun, and his case was dispensed with
by the tinker commanding this disttict.
