BILLY'S BILL AND BOB'S BOB
(By 13. of B.)
Two mates from old Huron when guns
were asleep.
Billy's Bill and Bob's Bob in a dug -out at
Ypres (Eel)).
Took thought 'cross the ocean,
Tci Wawanosh, fair;
A sign for commotion
Between the same pair. -
Both, mates from old Iluron, when guns
were asleep;
Billy's 13111 and Bob's Bob in a dug out at
Ypres.
They knew each in Huron since e'er they
could creep,
Hilly';; Bill and Bob's Bob,. now fighting
at Ypres. •
From Marnoch at one side,
Kilgubbin, the other, ,
A picnic was long tried-
Each sister and brother,
Now fathers and mothers of lads chill and
deep,
Billy's Bili and Bob's Bob in the mire at
Ypres.
About an old story they laugh till they
weep,
Billy's Bill and Bob's Bob, rehearsing at
Ypres,
How the school up at Marnoch,
Dared its neighbor from Fells,
Without face -mask, or wool -sock,
But bruises and swells
To settle at base -ball, a rivalry, deep --
Billy's Bill and Bob's Bob have the story
at Ypres.
To find such a playtime, back ages they
sweep,
Billy's Bid and Bob's Bob, half dreaming
at Ypres.
T'was a strike o'er the fences;
No thing called a foul;
A grounder one clenches,
To make runner howl.
Such rules all belonging to morns cheery
peep,
Billy's Bill and Bob's Bob were thinking
at Ypres.
Their dads, both, excited, to holler and
leap,
Billy's Bill and Bob's Bob had visions at
Ypres.
The first had manoeuvred,
New rules to acquire,
Which Bob's side had.ne'er heard
From teacher or sire.
Thus bats, blows and scrimmages, all in
a heap,
Billy's Bill and Bob's Bob said 'twas hot-
ter than Ypres.
'Twas the game, men in khaki, love better
than sleep,
Billy's Bill and Bob's Bob are the battery
at Ypres,
It's in -shoot and fade -away,
Sacrifice bunt,
But no one in that old day
Heard such a stunt.
The game was ungnished; the score good
and steep;
illy's Bill and Bob's Bob may not end it
at Ypres.

Witley Camp,
Oct. 13, 1918
Dear Orval; -
Well old sport, how is the world using
you, anyhow? It hasn't been too bad to
me I received a box from home with the
pen, it is a dandy, the signet ring feels
fine and I always wear it as a remem-
brance of the old sixth line.
I have been doing some slight travelling
for a boy like me. They gave us our six
days leave and we went to Scotland leav-
ing Millford. We arrived at London 12
o'clock, Friday noon, left at one p. m. for
Glasgow. It was a grand trip up through
England, arrived at Glasgow, 11 p. m.
While there I stoppea at the Overseas
Club, they use you just like home, They
are all lady cooks who volunteer from the
city, good meals and real beds of mattress
and springs just like heaven to ' what we
have been used to. Saturday morning I
'joined a party going down the Clyde, it
was grand to sail right down among the
big liners, went down beside the ship
building works, seen the big liners being
built, from the keel up, also a battle ship
nearly finished just 180 feet long,' (some
canoe.) We saw some subs and the
place where they are built, .also the fast
cruisers under construction, .saw a crane
there that could lift 25,000,000 lbs (some
size!) From there we went down as far
as Dumbarton Castle, then we came back
to town and had dinner, we spent the
afternoon in the Art Galleries, there is
everything here one could imagine, On
Sunday I went out to Loch Lomond, it is
21 miles from Glasgow. It was raining
and blowing so hard the old Scotties
Liberty Loan Set
Canadians Huh Mark
The United States did so well in
the recent Fourth Liberty Loan cam-
paign that Canada, in justice to her-
self, niust do unusually well in the
present drive, or she will suffer by
the contrast.
The Americans started out with.
$6,000,000,000 as their objective. .
They actually raised $6,866,000,000.
The number of subscribers is placed
at 21,000,000, or about one for every
five of .the population.
To do as well as this Canada must
raise over $500;000,000. If she se-
cures the same percentage of sub-
scribers to the population, instead of
having 1,000,000, she will have
1,600,000. As can readily be rea-
lized Canadians have their work cut
out, but they are euual to it.

Home etrom Prance
Sapper Albert L. Thomas visited at his
former home in Bluevale after about two
years spent Overseas. Ile enlisted in
Woodstock, in the 168th Battalion, but
was transferred to the 4th Pioneer Bata-
'
lion in Canada, and went overseas with
that unit. He went to France as a sapper
in September 1016. After serving there
for a time he took trench fever .and was
sent back to England. Upon recovering
he returned to France where he suffered a
relapse of trench fever. He was ordered
beck to England. Ile boarded a steamer
to go to England and during the trip
across the channel, the steamer just ahead
of the vessel in which Thomas was cross-
ing, was torpedoed by an enemy sub-
marine, The passengers on the torpedoed
boat were transferred to the second vessel
with the result that the overloaded craft
capsized, 'Thomas was thrown into the
water where he lost consciousness. He
never knew how or when he was rescued
from the water. however, the cold water
- and the exposure caused malaria fever to
set in, and sometime later, paralysis of
the hips resulted He was sent home to
Canada upon his arrival in England.
Thomas is quite well known here. He
has gone to littrlington where he will be
treated. Sapper Thomas is a on of Mr, t
` and Ulric Phillip Themes, Bluevale.

would not give us a boat ride, but I can
say I have walked along the Bonnie
Banks of Loch Lomond it was dark when
I got back so I read the mail beside a nice
coal fire -place. Monday forenoon I was
down to the Diessel Engine Works, seen
it being built. It is an 8 cylinder oil
engine, I also saw a shell factory, its some
busy spot. In the afternoon I went to
the movies In the evening I left for
Edinburgh arriving at 9 p. nae I stopped
at the Overseas Club. On Tuesday I
took the gas bus 10 miles out to -the
Fourth Bridge seen some fine Clyde teams
from there I went to Edinburgh Castle,
seen through it, next came Scott's Monu-
ment which I climbed to the top of, then
Holy Rood Palace, this is where Queen
Mary lived, then 1 saw John Knox's
house. I left Scotland at 9.30 p, m'
arriving at London at 7 a, m. Wednesday,
I struck out alone, caught a bus for Trafal-
gar Square, it is fixed up like the ruins of
Rheims all trenches of sandbags with
guns of every description. It is to boost
the war loan. Here I joined a Y. M. C.
A party that was going to see the Parlia-
ment buildings, it is some tower where
big ben ticks off the seconds, I saw all

WINDHAM, ONT., 'I'Ht1RSDAY, NOVEMBER 7th, 1918

COUNCIL ,MEE INCL
No Action. Taken Re Power for
• Foundry
The regular monthly council meeting
was held in the Council Chamber on Mon-
day evening. All the members were pre-
sent except Coun. Spotton, Mayor Bink
ley presided. Minute's of last meeting
were read and approved. -
Although the council was in session for
over two hours only three motions were
made. The time was taken up in "dis-
cussion."
The Western Foundry Co, have for.
some time been pleading with the coun-
cil to give them 100 horse power of elec-
tricity, but so far they have nothing de-
finite. Mr. Cunningham, the president
wrote a veru pointed letter to the Mayor
and Councillors stating that owing to the
extremely high cost of freight, labor etc,
unless the town could give them the power
desired- at once they would be cone
pelted to close down until such time as
they could operate at a profit. The
foundry is one of our biggest and best
industries and it would be a loss to Wing -
ham if they decide to close, even though
it would only be for the winter. They
are not asking for any advantages over
the other users of power. We understand
that Mayor Binkley, chairman of the
electric light committee is in favor of giv-
ing the desired power. No action was
taken in the matter at the Monday night
meeting, and there does not seem likely
to be any. In the humble opinion of the
writer it is high time that a commission
were appointed to conduct the affairs ..of
one of the largest:plants in Wingham viz,
"The Electric Light and Water works,"
The matter of the valuation of the
Wingham Salt Works buil(liugs and pro-
perty was resumed. Assessor T. J. Mc-
Lean assessed the building and property
at 85,500. The Win. Davies Co, claim
they did not get their notice in time to
appeal in the proper time. Last year it
was assessed at $2,700 but Mr. McLean
says that he assessed it much too low.
The council secured the services of Con-
tractor Mahood to value the buildings
and property which he did as follows;
Land value, 190 feet frontage.... $768 00
Buildings 825 00
Brine tank - 425 00
Salt pan • .... , . , , 1000 00
Fire brick 350 00
Chimney . $25 00•
$3,685 00
It is very likely that the mayor will call
a special meeting of the council deal with.
this assessment. Several of the council
feel that they should stand by the valu-
ation of their town assessor, which he re-
ports to us are based as follows; Main
buildings contain 242,000 cubic feet at 4c
per cubic foot $9680, less 331=S depreci-
ation for an average of 20 years $6400,
assessing it on this basis would be
of 6400 for buildings equal 4250, add cost
of pan and brick to this, 20 year ago
price . putting them at 900 for pan and
400 for br.ck equal 1300, would make
6,550 without land value $500
Assessor McLean explained in a letter
to the council that he had made a mistake
of $250 in J. Phelan's assessment. It
was moved by Couns Gurney and Fells
that Mr. Phelan he refunded on that
amount of taxes after same have been
paid.
The Finance Committee met and re-
commended the payment of the following
accounts.

The Ban is Lifted
Dr. Stewart, ' M. H. O., advises
us that churches will re -open on
Sunday.and schools and colleges on
Monday. The bad has been lifted
and we feel sure the townspeople
appreciate the steps taken by the
M H. O. in having all public places
closed for a time, so that the in-
fluenza epidemic would not be
allowed to spread more than could
be helped. The sickness is now
about over in Wingham and we are
glad to be able to report that all
who have had the disease are about
recovered,

We Must Raise $265,000 in Wingham
And Turnberry
Turnberry Township and Wingham are
requested to raise 3205,000 in the Victory
Loan Campaign of 1918. It is up to
every citizen to do his utmost to make
this years' loan a success. A man who is
worth anything at all and says he cannot
buy a bond is a German sympathizer If
he has not the money there is no reason
why he cannot get it Boys at the front
are fighting and Spilling their blood to
keep your home and your loved ones safe,
if they had refused to fight you would
not be able to call your life your own.
Our Canadian women and girls would be
outraged by the hellish Hun. Think it
over before you say you cannot afford to
buy a Victory Bond.
The total amount subscribed in this
district up to Saturday night last is only
369,800 or in plain language this territory
must do better in the next few days.
Don't be ashamed to meet our boys when
they come home, be able to show them
that you did something to help them.
The exact figures up to Saturday night
collected for the Victory Loan was as
follows;

n ilei About t To Order
Paper Co fro a
b
Cutting Off Unpaid Subscriptions
T•
At a public hearing in Ottawa last week in connection with paper con_
servation, the Paper Controller for Canada intimated that regulations s
about to be issued would include one to the effect that A
".Publishers of newspapers must cease sending their newspapers 1
to subscribers three months in arrears unless subscriptions be
definitely renewed' and all arrears fully paid."
The reason for this regulation of the Paper Controller is that it is the
practice of some publishers to send their newspaper until ordered stopped.
It is to prevent paper waste that the new regulation has been decided on.
The manufacturer of paper consumes labor, wood. coal, chemicals and
transportation facilities, and every ton of paper saved means just so much
1 rnore labor, raw materials, chemicals, fuel and transportation available
for urgent war needs. For these reasons the Government insists that
paper shall be saved, and purposes that only those who pay for their pub-
- lications shall receive them.
Under these regulations Title AnVANCbl will have no choice in the A
matter of dealing with subscriptions in arrears for over three months.
You need Tag Aiwa:sets and we want to continue sending it to you'
sir if your subscription is in arrears, please pay up at once to prevent a
discontinuance of your subscription.

Wingham Girl's Success '
Miss Annie Williamson, graduate of
Wingham High School and Toronto
Normal, and who accepted the position of
teacher in a school in a Finnish settlement
in the vicinity of Sudbury has done re-
markably well. The following is an ex-
tract Bons a letter which she recently re-
ceived from the Finnish representative in
Sudbury who engaged her:
"Long before this I have been expect-
ing to see you here, but never a word
have I heard a word from you, but I have
of you, and everything has been very com-
plimentary to you, so I have worn the
laurels that fall to those who happen tobe
fortunate in selecting a satisfactory school
teacher. They sure like you over there
and I ata sincerely glad in knowing that
you are getting along so well."
The salary at which she was engaged
was seven hundred dollars per year but at
the end of one month she was given an in-
crease to seven hundred and fifty, which
as well as the above letter speaks for it
self of her success in the North country.
Annie is a daughter of Mr. and Mre.
Wm, Williamson of this town.
