Simmie, M. C„ London, Money In Newspaper Office Tax Collector HerbHenning and Town- ship Clerk Paul Powell collected Turn - berry taxes in The ADVANCE OFFICE on Friday last and although we could have made good use of any of the heaps of greenbacks, we are just as poor now as when they arrived. Any newspaper man would have looked with envy at our little sanctum on Friday evening. After they left we swept the floor half a dozen times (just where the money might be) and we scrubbed the table and counter, but not a copper did we find. Who Can Beat This West Wawanosh, Dec. Oth, 1918 Mr. A. G. Smith, Wingham Advance, Dear friend Smith; - 1 noticed an item in the press sometime ago that your Reeve, Mr.. Tipiing, had raised a crop of wheat to the amount of 10,000 bushel. I was delighted to see such a report, as it was very encouraging to know -that a man in Huron county was able to compete with the Western Partn- ers,. Upon meeting your esteemed Reeve a few days ago, however, he told me this was an error and his crap consisted of 1000 bus. I write you to say that the Joynt farm produced over 1350 bushel of wheat this season, 410 that as far as I can learn we are entitled to head the list for Huron County. Besides this crop we raised 75 acres of of oath, about 8 acres of peas, 10 acres of barley and 20 acres of corn, so that the readers of the Advance will see that we are farming some: Trusting title item will be "of sortie in- terest to the fenders of the Advance, I am, Your* sincerely, John Joynt. UST WE FORGET Mr Editor; Now that the world's terrible tragedy is ended, the battles fought and the Vic- tory won, after all the celebrating, rejoic- ing and thanksgivings, and after all that f r is let of our brave and gallant lads have returned and they have been royally wel- comed -as they will be amidst the waving of flags, the blare of the trumpets, the music of the bands and the hearty cheers and loud acclaim that will greet them on all sides. We should not forget the thousands of sorrowing hearts that will be among these throngs and the litany other thousands of sorrowing ones who will not be there but who will watch and look with !pnging eyes, for the loved one who will never return. After all the brave boys-whohave done so nobly and made such a grand proud record for dear old Canada -have returned to their homes. Would it not be meet, and a beautiful tri bute, if the powers that be, would set aside one day of mourning, where one and all could mingle their tears and share the sorrows, with the less fortunate of their friends and neighbors. Neither must we forget the many innocent and helpless who lost their lives through the murdering Hun and his under- seas craft. Thousands of our brave heroes lie over there, whose friends will never be able to shed a tear or place a flower on their graves. Some tie in Flan- ders fields where the poppies grow, others. on the snow clad mountains and beauti- ful valleys of May, others on the far off plains of Palestine and in fact. scarcely any part of, *be Eastern hemisphere but there is buried the remains of some Canadian loved 'one Some sleep where pearls lie deep, but no more beautiful pearl or brighter gem ever adorned a crown than those illustr ous jewels of ours who sleep over there. I say again Sir would it not be a ,just and beautiful tribute that Canada should have a day of mourning when every wheel of commerce should stand still and hush- ed, and let silence reign, except for the tolling of the bells or the music of the bands as they played the Dead March in. Saul and other appropriate music. Let the churches throughout the land hold special services. Every flag should be hung at half mast -and no flag pole should be bare. Every person should wear a suitable badge of mourning. And right here I may say that, no doubt the Red Cross Society who have done so nobly all through this past four years will see to it that this part'of the programme is proerg carried out, , not only in cities and towns 'but throughout the whole rural distracts as well. All in all, slake it just what it should be, a daymourning of u rnin g for our noble dead, a memorable day, a day that will live in the memory of one and all as long as life shall last, and how they can tell it to the children still unborn how `Canada, dear old Canada -not only did her bit over there, but how she so feelingly and de- voutly paid her last tribute of praise, thanksgiving and respect to her fallen heroes. ° After all this is done 'we can commence the sequel to a merrier time. Some may consider this out of place and say let us forget it, but all I can say for any, such, they have but poor calloused minds. If you Mr. Editor, think well of this idea'just kindly pass it along and if the newspapers take a hold of it, it is safe to be a success: EULOGY Mourn Canada, Mourn for the death of your sons, Their young lives they surrendered in battling for thee. ours parents and sisters and those loved ones, Mourn for your heroes who died to be free. • Mourn fellow soldiers let the tear stain your cheek, On occasions like this, it is manly to weep Mourn fellow citizen, both the strong and weak, Mourn in anguish for those who now sleep their last sleep.
