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.

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, Ottawa LIEUT. 11, ft. roP1 LANn Lieut. Ermin Copeland's many friends will regret to learn that his wounds have been officially reported • multiple and severe. He has been admitted to the lith British Red Cross hospital. 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 w C all SU t but ) t an beadvantage van 4 to etO Huron county to have a enan whose time is devoted to the furthering of the agri- cultural interests of the county .and this advantage will become more and more apparent as time goes on. "This coun- ty," remarked Mr. Stothers the other day on looking over a map of the province which the Government had just sent him, "is second to none. I've etways heard that hut as I travel over it I'm convinced of it," Most limonites will unhesitat- ingly agree Huron should hold a tient place among the counties of Ontario.

THURSDAY, AUOUST 1st, 1918 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. a t p e ti si m 0 a to fa u 1)1ni ti ni a re ra an A th lit us e co lik he r wh op sta All th pie So ins the m and pa gun frac bu eve roa lure don you sear ing the ligh you only ang exec dod you it ti on t sear fr rn will in h the of you The a hu as t are we look flow Secure Your Tickets - St Chautauqua tickets are on sale at the and following places ill Wingham;--- islusi i The Advance Office. a J.

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.

Opening Oshawa School Ex -Mayor Spotton was in Oshawa last week establishing a Commercial School in that town.

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.

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. • Middle School exams, The following candidates have passed the middle school examination for en- trance to Normal: H.

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 l nmr in f flthe wilderness eriless 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.
