"Is it possible for groups of people in many of our cities, towns, and even vil- lages to undertake some form os company - farming?" This question is being asked in a circular letter just issued by the Or- ganitation of Resources Committee of Ontario. The idea is to enlarge the acti- vities from community gardening schemes to grain production on farm lands, Groups of business men and others in urban centresare urged to organize now in order to take over good vacant land in the neighbourhood and get it ready for cultivation.so that it may produce a 1919 crop. Company -farming operations are now being carried out with a great deal of success at St. Catherines, Sarnia, Windsor, Owen Sound, Weston and Osh- awa. Citizens of every town are asked to get together and talk it over. EVERYBODY'S COLUMN OST Blank bar pin gold Ilned, Finder will please leave at'bIIE AAVANOE. i,LECTRTC MOTOR FOR.

Lott's many -friends will be sorry to hear that he received a nasty cut on his hand while working with his binder at his home in Swift Current. The middle finger is cut almost off while the other fingers were badly cut Broke into Picture Clouse On Monday evening after the show, some sneak thief broke into the picture house and wrenched the arm off Mr. Kennedy's`phonograph, and stole a large electric fan. It almost looks like a case of spite work for the arm off the phone graph would be no use to anyone. In- stead of the thief unscrewing the electric fan wire, he foolishly twisted it until it broke. This should be a penitentiary job for the party when they are caught. Bard Burned by Lightning A severe electrical storm swept over Wingham and vicinity on Tuesday even- ing and as most of the phones are out of order, including The Advance's we were unable to get all the particulars as to the amount of damage Lightning struck Mrs. Irwin Elliott's barn, 6th con. of Turnberry and it was completely des- troyed by fire.

Dear Sir: - We are somewhat inclined to look upon an editor as an encyclopedia, and as such you may be able to enlighten my understanding on some things which to me seems nothing less than Paradoxes. I most heartily condemn the desegration of the Sabbath on Sunday the 4th inst, when ice cream and soft drinks were openly sold in a tent upon our town park. Now whether it was illegal or legal, why should Mr. Miller be exposed to so much criticism, while the Greek Candy Kitchen at the South end of our town, does a great big Sunday trade the whole year round with none to raise a protest? If they can sell galore, candy, ice-cream and soft drinks the whole year round then let all have the same privilege. • Again sugar is only sold in limited pounds, and there is some talk of restric- ting the same to per capital of one pound and a half per month. .You see a restric- tion on our household supply but, no limit to the tons and tons manufactured by our factories and candy kitchens every day in the year. The neces sity restricted, the luxury unlimited. Once more dear Sir, butter so dear and scarce as flowers in January, but yet the tons and tons of precious cream, being manufactured each day into ice cream a luxury by some indulged in as a drunkard would in strong drink. Canada is at war. Our boys in France get few luxuries. Then why not dispense with this indulge nce, and by so -doing have a larger supply of pure butter and wholesome cheese'? Now Sir, thanking you in anticipation for space given I would respectfully re- main. Yours truly, Simple Simon. A Tale of Woe Several of our exchanges have the fol- lowing item in their last week's issues: "A press despatch in the daily papers from Wingham says: "Wingham dist- rict crops are suffering serious damage from the excessive drought, which for weeks has daily grown more intense. A heavy windstorm which passed over the town and vicinity occasioned consider- able alarm and many trees were blown down, but no rain fell, A' species of plant lice is devouring the turnips and vegetables, and other root crops are ser- iously affected by lack of moisture. The grain is not half heading out and is ripening fast, The ears are less than half filled. Potatoes are drying up in the ground, no raid of any account having fallern, for six weeks past. A daily temperature of 90 or more degrees in the shade prevails." Surely this item was not a despatch from Wingham, Ont Crops are in ex- cellent conditions here, grain is reported by several farmers as being a bumper crop. The first five winners in the Oat competition were credited With over 00 per cent and the judges on loth oats and Wheat said they never saw better crops than around here CHAUTAUQUA WEEK During the past week the residents of Wingham and vicinty have enjoyed a rare treat in the presentation of the Chautau- qua Program. The lectures throughout have been of a high order, the various Musical groups have surpassed our expec- tations, and the drama has been such thatan w e could wish for none better. t The speakers, all men of prominence, have addressed large and appreciative gatherings here. Each and everyone of thein has handled his subject in a truly masterful manner, and it is to be regretted that an entire year must pass by ere it is again our privilege to sit before a Chau• l tauquaP atfa rm 1 didtChautauqua N t io he o wholly As- sociation labour in the interests of the grown-ups -for the children came in each morning for a two hour program of very helpful) r i st instruction. Now that the Chautauqua Association has established itself within our midst, we feel that we are voicing the sentiments of the majority when we state that the bene- fits derived therefrom cannot be estimat- ed in dollars and cents. We trust that ciremstances may again permit the presence Here of Mr. Charles B. Wagner, Supt. of the week's proceed- ings. The Chautauqua movement is no longer to us a stranger, and while we regret that the fullest co-operation among our leading citizens did not exist, we think many of those, who in the earliest stages failed, to offer their support can now be counted upon for a fair share of labour which links Wingham into the circuit of 1019. The following men have signed the con- tract to bring Chautauqua back next year: W. F. Vanstone R C. Redmond R. Blomfield A. G. Smith H. E. Isard John Ritchie A Tipling Reg, S. Williams J, F. Groves J. F. Dingman John Hanna W. H, Willis A. J. Irwin John Galbraith W. J. Greer J. H. Christie J. A. Mills Thos. Kew L. S. Beninger W. H. Gurney A. E. Smith L. F. Binkley L. C. Young J. D. Rae Oliver Thompson W. H. Houser A. H. Musgrove J. A. McLean Thos. Taylor Richard Vanstone Extensive Demand For Fertilizers - Intisive agriculture has resulted in bringing an unparalleled degree of pros- perity to chemical companies specializing in fertilizers. Some of the largest pro- ducers of fertilizers on the continent have reported a great increase in the demand for their output. There has been enormous increases in new lines for war supplies that have swelled profits largely. One large manufacturer stated recently that his concern had been able to declare a dividend of 24 per cent on the common stock and 8 per cent on the preferred stock. This splendid showing was made despite the suspension of the importation of potash from Germany. Supplies of potash are now being secured from Utah and other Western States, and its use is being limited to crops, such as tobacco; that absolutely require it. • The ingenuity and resourcefulness of American chemical manufacturers has been heavily taxed in the effort to pro- duce enough fertilizer to satisfy the de- mands of Canada and the United States. With extensive requirements to be filled, the chemical plants have met the situation and have enabled agriculture to be speed- ed up to war standards, Former Winghamite Gassed Chief Constable Ferguson received a wire on Thursday last informing him that his son, Sergt Robt. • Ferguson of 72nd Seaforth Highlanders, was shell -gassed on July 23rd and had been removed to No. 7 Casualty Clearing Station. France. The fact that Bob got gassed in the same manner and on the same day as another Walkertonian, Pte. Fred Bannister of the 160th Battalion, and was removed to the same clearing station, suggests that the pair who are strangers to each other, must have been fighting close together, The gas used by the foe in these shells is de- scribed by the .press as of a very poison- ous nature On receivine word here Thurs- day of the wounding of his son, Chief Ferguson cabled his daughter, Nursing Sister Annie Ferguson of the Kitchener War Hospital, Brighton, England, and within '22 hours had a reply back .that Bob was doing well, and was now in No. 54 General Hospital, France Sergt Fer- guron has..e wife, formerly Miss May Kellington of Walkerton, and four small children residing at Salmon Arm, 13, C from which point he enlisted for the front.

A Bad Runaway While drawing in grain last week, one of the Advance readers, Mr. Philip Keifer of Culross, met with an unfortunate accid- ent. He had hitched up a young colt that had never been harnessed before to a wag- on. Driving through the orchard one line caught on a limb, the leaves rustling, frightened the colt and Mr. Keffer being unable to hold the horses, they ran away, throwing him out. smashing the wagon, and cutting themselves so badly, one will not be able to work for some months.
