SALEM BOYS RETURN
One evening recently the people of the
community gathered at the Salem church
to welcome home Ptes. Fred, Robert and
Frank Westlake and a good programme
was given. Miss Shand of Toronto, rend-
ered two solos and the young people of
the church gave recitations, music and
dialogues, Rev Mr. Sinclair of Belmore,
have you back among us -with the measure
of health a n d strength which you all
enjoy.
To belong to a family where five sons
enlisted voluntarily and went overseas and
saw service on the western front where
the great world war was finally fought out
and won is a record of which ,any house-
hold might well feel proud It is a record,
we believe, that has been equalled in but

Arter the programme the following ad-
dress was read.

Dear Friends:
We, as representatives of the commun-

A Song for Every Mood'
Music gives expression to every human emotion.
All that is happy and beautiful in life, has been
expressed in music.
When things seem bright and cheerful because
a ray of happiness has come into your life, you need
an -outlet to give vent to your feelings.
When sorrow or depression comes, the need of
consolation is even greater.
It is at such times that you derive the greatest
comfort from
Ze NEW EDISO
"The Phonograph with a Soul"
Then one sweet note of the voice of Anna Case,
or o#te ripple of melody from the bow of Albert
Spalding, puts your soul in harmony with the world.
Music—real music -is one of life's greatest boons.
Edison music is real music because the New Edison
does not merely imitate, it re..creates. One never
tires of the New Edison, the novelty never wears
oil; because there is no
novelty to wear off: It is
not just another "talking
machine". It is decidedly
different. To appreciate
the difference you must
hear it.
We will gladly submit
the New Edison to your
musical judgment either

few instances in any land during the four
years of struggle.
We are remembering too that each of
you endured cold, hunger and weariness
and faced danger and death in many
forms, shoulder to shoulder with other of
our brave soldiers as part of that invinci-
ble Canadian army of eighty thousand
men who never lost a foot of ground
which they had gained and consolidated,
We know full well that our British and
Canadian homes have escaped the torch
and shell and our women and children,
the brutal hate and treatment of the fer-
ocious and bestial Hun because our lads
barred the way on the bioodred fields of
France a n d Flanders and because the
British navy remained the undisputed
master of the mighty deep. The cause at
stake was that of humanity and the
Christian faith of the whole world It
was altogether fit and proper that the
home fires were kept burning with faith
and prayer and that He who rules the
raging of the seas should. also vindicate
His right to rule over the nations of the
earth. That each one of you may play in
civil life the noble part youh,have acted
during the war, is the hope and''bonviction
of your friends and associates.
We ask you to accept this purse of
money as a slight token of our apprecia-
tion of the services you have rendered to
your country and the cause of right, lib-
erty and justice,
Signed in behalf • of your home
community.
The boys made suitable replies after
which the people went to the basement
where a lunch was served,
Should Old Acquaintance Be Forgot
On Thursday evening of last week, the
employees of the Wingham Glove and
Leather Works, with the head of the firm, 1
Mr. W. D. Pringle, met at the home of
Mr. and Mrs, M. R. Beckwith, and spent
a very pleasant evening. It was a three-
fold evening. 1st a program of music,
singing, and recitation, Mr. Pringle in the
chair, Talk about classical singing, my it
is not in it at a11,^compared with the boys
and girls at Pringle's' shop. The girls
smiled and sang and the boys sang and
smiled. Second part, eating dike, pie and
sandwiches; the girls found the eats and
1 they did so with no sparing hand. One
girl donated a big dish of home-made
candy, the boys declared when eating it
they did not know which was the sweet-
est, the girl who made the candy or the
candy the girl did make, then the games
followed. The girls smiled and the boys
smiled, in fact everyone was happy and
glad. In the wee small hours of the
morning the girls went home and the
boys went home, whether the girls went
home alone, the writer could not say, but
anyway a gathering of that kind creates
an affinity between employer and etnpioy-
ed, which itt pleaattlxt to realise.

0 UTSIDH of the European field
there are two British gen-
erals who claim attention,
Maude, of Bagdad, and_, Al,
lenby, of Jerusalem and Samaria. Of
the former it is to be said that tak-
ing the MYlesopotaniian command af-
ter the surrender at Kut -el -Amara
and following a shocking and scan-
dalous failure he rivalled the best
achievements of Kitchener in the
Khartoum campaign and conducted a
colonial campaign in a fashion which
must remain a model for all the fu-
ture. Unhappily, he died just after
he had taken Bagdad and before he
could enjoy the full fruits of his
great labors. But lie remains one of
the great figures off thar long and
splendid succession of British colon-
ial Ieaders. He gave Britain Meso-
potamia and he ended all apprehen-
sion as to India. His warfare was
the kind in which Britain has always
led the world, and, apart from Kitch-
tiff•'. MAUDE.
ener, he can have no rival, such is
the verdict of Frank Simmond, the
well-known American war critics.
Of Allenby there is a record in the
west as well as in the east. He com-
manded a cavalry brigade in the
Mons campaign. He held the Mos -
sines Ridge with a thin facade of
horsemen in the critical days of
Ypres, before the French aid came.
After that he commanded the Third
British Army, afterward to go ' to
Byng in the 13attle of Arras, hi which
he tools Viniy Ridge, cleared Arra;;
and pushed down into the Flanders
Plain. The success of the spring of
1917 was the greatest achievement
of the British in the war up to that
time.
Later, when the British comman-
der iii Egypt failed at Gaza and the
Palestine campaign was .1'1 danger,
Allenby went east. Ile restored the
situation and presently the World
heard of him in Jerui;alent. This wad
a ray of light in a (lark period. But
Allenby's great triumph was.tr come,
when last September fie crushed two
Turkish. armies in Samaria, captured
the bulk of their forces and made
the surrender of the Turk inevitable.

RAM ADVANCE
THE LATE MRS, BAKER
hp Rivas
Rennarlsablo Old Lady laved Under
Six Sovereigns.
A couple of week's ago TUR AnvANcE
published a brief obituary relating to .the
late Mrs. Katherine Baker, who passed
away at Belmore at the advahced age of
104. The following article taken from a
London paper, reveals some ioterestiug
facts about the deceased lady's life:
"One of the oldest inhabitants of Canada
passed away in Belmore recently in the
person of Mrs. Katherine 13aker, At the
time of her death, Mrs. Baker was 104
years of age, having been born on August
15, 1815, in the reign of Geofge III, She
made it her proud boast that she had liv-
ed. under six sovereigns--- George III,
George IV, William IV, Victoria, Edward
VII and George V.
She is survived immediately by three
daughters—Mrs J. Irwin of Saskatoon,
Mrs. L. Johnston and Mrs. T. McGlynn
of Drayton, North Dakota, and Mrs. D.
Fryfogle of Wingham, Ont„ and three sons
J. Baker and Con, Baker of Belmore, and
P. H. Baker of Winghare. She is also
survived by a great many grandchildren
and great-grandchildren.
The funeral, which took place recently
to McIntosh Cemetery, Belmore, was
largely attended. It is interesting to note
that she was laid to rest alongside her
husband, beneath an old elm tree, the last
surviving one of seven planted there by
her own hand in 1876. The pallbearers
were W. A. Finlater, J. Lane, W Fergu-
son, J. Fleming, T. Inglis and P, Heckney
and the Rev. N. R. D. Sinclair conducting
the service. Mrs. Baker has always been
a staunch Presbyterian,
The deceased spent her early life in the
County of Waterloo, where she was born,
At that time oxen were used for driving.
and it was not until many years later that
„Mrs. Baker rode in a horse carriage. Only
five weeks before her death she had her
last ride in the modern automobile. All
the clothing used in her girlhood was man-
ufactured in her home,
At the age of sixteen she married the
late Jacob Baker, although this did not
necessitate a change of name, as her maid-
en name was Baker. After, living fpr
some years in Waterloo, the young couple
moved into Huron County and settled in
Tow,nship of Howick, taking up the busi-
ness of farming and tilling the soil with
oxen. Whenever they wanted flour, Mr.
Baker was compelled to carry a bag of his
own wheat on his back to the mill at Sea -
forth, a distance of 26 miles, crossing the
Maitland river by means of Logs which
had fallen over it. In those days there
were no bridges.
Later Mr. and Mrs, Baker, migrated to
the village of Belmore, where she remain-
ed for over 50 years. Mr. Baker died in
year 1875.
After his death, she continued living
with her family of ten children -seven
girls and three boys, all of whom grew to
manhood and womanhood. Three of her
children, who died before her, had attained
the great ages of 65, 75 and 80 years.
Mrs. Baker was keenly interested in
everything up to. the" time of her death.
It was her special boast that she had lived
through seven great wars—the Crimean
war,. Soudan war, Boer war, Spanish-
American war. Northwest Rebellion and
Fenian Raid—and for this reason took
special interest in the last ,great war,
which was ended before her death.
Her chief hobbies were sewing and gar-
dening. Up to the time of her death she
has made over 100 log cabin quilts from
patches, and only last summer, in spite of
her advanced age, she was seen working
about the garden. Her hearing was ex-
cellent until the end, but for the last few
months her eyesight had failed consider-
ably. Up to the last few days, she • con'
tinued to make her bed, help prepare the
meals and wash the dishes, Only once
during her lifetime had she ever found it
necessary.to call in a doctor, so excellent
was her health. She remained conscious
until the very last, calling her relatives
about her bedside."

A HERO'S WELCOME NOME
On Tuesday evening of last week the
members of the C, O. C, F. net at the
pleasant home of Mr. Simon Mitchell.
The occasion being to welcome home Pte.
Joseph Latronica, who has done his bit
and done it well upon the . battle -fields of
France. The chairman Mr, J. A. Hing-
ston called the meeting to order, and then
in a neat little speech, asked Friend M.
R. Beckwith, to read an address of wel-
come.
Dear Friend, Pte, Joseph Latronica:--
With great pleasure we welcome you
back to the dear old home town: : You
have helped to fight a greet fight, and
have helped to gain a great victory. The
Hun has been beaten, the enemy driven
back and the glorious old Union Jack still
floats victoriously over land, sea and
wave. From Cape Breton on the Atlan-
tic to the wave swept shores of the Pacific
we Canucks can with the whole army of
'the Allies, sing with thankful . hearts,
"Praise God from whom all blessings
flow."
You have suffered much and dared
much, over the angry billows of the At-
lantfc, then over the channel, and again
still onward, until you reached the fields
of Flanders, there facing cannon and gas,
shell and bayonet of a savage foe, but
through hill by the Grace of God, you
have been protected, and are home again
shattered but not bruised.
Decorated by Lady Logie in Camp
Borden in having the best'equipped trans-
port in camp and then on the battlefields
of Europe achieving still greater achieve-
ments,
Now Friend Latronica we ask you to ac-
cept this pin, the emblem of bur Order, it
stands for Fraternity, Aid and Protection,
cherish all these in thy heart as a mother
would fondle her babe. These emblems
are as precious as gold and beautiful as
the setting sun. And also accept this.
pipe, which, filled with the fragrant weed,
is to the smoker a great consoler, and an
antidote for many ills.
May you long enjoy your pipe of peace,
and may you ever haves a warm spot in
your heart for the Friends of No, 222.
May peace and prosperity be yours in
this world and in the world to come,
Life Everlasting.
Signed this fourth day ofFebruary
in the year of our Lord 1919.
Mrs, Annie I. Hingston, Chief Councillor.
Maurice R. Beckwith, Recorder.
Wingham Council No. 222, C. O. C. F.
Fr'end Pte. Latronica thanked the
friends for their kindness,, and also gave
some of his experiences upon the battle-
field. Alderman Mitchell gave a rousing
speech and some others also expressed
their pleasure in welcoming home the
hero of the night. Then followed the
eats which were of the very best and the
coffee was simply superb. Mr. Pringle
moved that a vote of thanks be extended
to Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell also $o Mr.
Hingston for getting up such a beautiful
menu ou such short notice. After singing
God Save the King all went ]some, feeling
that they had spent a very pleasant and
profitable evening,
