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.

R. was in the ;117th draft leaving London in July, lie went direct to Friendshaw Pond, Eng- land and on Sept 20th was moved to Witley. 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. PTL. J. E. DVNxArl 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 through them, then we went to West- minster Abbey. This caps them all, saw where all the famous chaps are buried, 0. - +..• ner N-as..r!er. ! Iflw .urn, n. 'S PLEDGE. haute EVERY CANADIAN'S DUTY. WINDHAM, ONT., 'I'Ht1RSDAY, NOVEMBER 7th, 1918 Subscriptions: SIM per year, 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. John F. Groves, salary, postage, select Jurors, 3108.16; Geo Allen, salary 40.91; Ed Lewis, salary 47.74; Wrn Stokes, sal. ary 54.00; M Fluety, work 10.00; Bell Tel.

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, 2 a .^.9,'<eu,.tc.,A9+,.w 4'•ivitu,-c.r gIJ 1'4 W,4.Y7 BOOB' T'HE Li) 1 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 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.

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. • Trench Boots.
