me HOME COMINO
Now that Heine is licked to a frazzle,
And Fritzie is clipped in the comb,
We're holding a bie razzle-daezte
To welcome our soldier boys home.
They bore themselves brave in the battle,
They kept themselvee clean on parade,
They herded the Bosches like cattle
In many a nerve-racking reid,
Iii oider to do the boys justice,
We need all the help we can get,
Without it the contract will bust us
And swamp the committee with debt.
So we want all old timers of Wingham,
(Although the good town has gone dry)
Fast as railroad or auto can bring 'em,
To come on the first of July.
Perhaps you've grown rich on the prairies,
Your farm in town lots you have sold.
Or, with products of wheat fie/els and
dairies,
Have lined all your pockets with gold.
Or it may be your harp strings are rusted,
Your measures all halting and lame
Perhaps you're discouraged and busted
And tired of playing the game.
If so, come to Winghern this summer,
Forget the world's trouble and strife,
Our program will sure be a hummer,
We'll give you the time of your life,
We'll make no untimely suggestions,
• Concerning the length of your stay,
Nor ask you impertinent questions
About what you've done while away.
There'll be five hundred soldier boys
marching,
To band music martial and high,
There'll be shirt waists in great need of
starching,
And pink lemonade when your dry.
There'll be sports on the park without
number.
The most central place in the town,
(When Torn McLean nails up the lumber,
The seating will never fall down.,
Brave Blom, will do stunts on the river,
410 And Davie will blow on the pipes,
While Drummond will cut up the liver,
The beefsteak, the.bacon and tripes.
Believe what you see's a good motto,
So :et yourself harbor no doubt,
If you're offered a ride in an auto
With tires that never blow out.

WHAT THEY THINK
^
What the Returned Men At Whitby
Military Hospital think of
"The Better Ole"
A Sergeant: A good picture. The
best I ever saw.
A Corporal: The most realistic version
of life at the front that I have ever seen.
A Gunner: Great! The last word in
war plays, and I have seen nearly all war
pictures produced.
A Private: Seen it twice, want to see it
again This is the picture for anyone that
has a relative at the front.
An Officer: Never thought that it was
possible to reproduce on the screen life as
you see it at the front. The "Better Ole"
has accomplished this.
A Nursing Sister; Wonderful! It will
give the public an an inside view of the
life of our wonderful men. Advise every-
one to see it,
A Private: Liked it for many reasons
better, than any picture that I bad ever
seen. It is not a gloom dispenser but a
gloom chaser This is the real dope. No
camoflage to this picture, One of the
best points is that this picture is British
from start -to finish. Full of pep the
greatest ever. Lyceum Theatre, Wing -

$100__O_Worth.
Thieves broke into Harry Brown's
stable on Saturday evening and stole over
$1000 worth of furs. About $400 worth

Wednesday Half Holiday
At a meeting of the Merchants and
business men of Wingham held in the
council chamber on Thursday morning it
was decided to cloee all places of business
in Winghani at noon each, Wednesday
from May lst till September lst, This
has been the custom for some year and is
proving very popular with the merchants.
Decoration And Memorial Services
The local branch of the G. W. V A are
holding a memorial service in honor of
their fallen comrades in the town hall on
Sunday evening, April 27th, immediately
after the service e in the churches, In the
aft rrioon at 2.30 o'clock they will march
from their headquarters, headed by the
Citizens' Band, to the Wingbarn cemetery
where they will hold decoration services.
All returned soldiers, whether niembers
of the G W. V. A. or not, are requested
to attend in their uniform. The different
lodges in town are also cordially invit-
ed to join in the procession. We
understand that this will be a yearly event
in memory of the fierce fighting at Ypres
where so many of our gallant Canadians
paid the supreme sacrifice.
The 0. W. V. A. Banquet
The members of the G W. V. A. gave
a banquet in their club rooms on Oood
Fifday evening in honor of Major N. T,
Sinclair, a former resident of Wingham
who now resides in Toronto, The toast
list was as follows: "The King" proposed
by G. W. V. A. and responded to by
Major Dr. Shaw of Clintoti. 'Our Forc.
es" proposed by Comrade Mr. R. T. Cow-
ell and responded to by Lt. -Col. H. 13.
Coombe. ,'The G. W V. A." proposed
by Vice -Pres. Mr. W. H. Hayles and
sponded to by Comrade Mr. W. H. Dore.
Major Sinclair than ked the G. W. V. A.
for their kindness in tendering to him
this splendid banquet and assured them
that he would never forget the pleasant
as well as the unpleasant hours spent with
the boys in England and in France.
THE AERO CUSHION TIRE AND:RUBBER COMPANY'S FACTORY
The abotte is a picture of the two brick buildings recently purchased by the Aero
Cushion Tire and Rubber Co„ Ltd. from the Western Foundry Co„ Ltd. at a cost of
$17,500. The large building to the right was formerly used as a moulding room and
is 80x200 ft. The other was used as a mounting room and is 50x175 ft. Stock is now
selling more rapidly and we believe the company will have their machinery installed
and in running order by early summer. We understand that it is very likely that the
town council will give the new company free water and an exemption of taxes. This
will not be more than they should receive from the town, as they have gone ahead like
men and purchased the building without asking for a cent. Let us all get behind
them and boost for Wingham's new industry.

HOME -COMING W1 -.F.1‹
Expressed in the fewest possible words,
the general purpose of Home coming week
so far as the merchant is concerned is to
build up local interest and stimulate the
trade•at-horne spirit, So far as the gen-
eral public i s concerned, Home•coming
week furnishes an entertainment that can
be enjoyed by every man, woman and
child in the town and surrounding court -
try, The spirit of the Home•coming week
is thoroughly democratic and its interests
extend alike to the highest end lowest, to
the young end old, rich and poor.
There is a general, prevalent complaint
among merchants, especially those in the
smaller towns and villages, that many of
the people do a considerable part of their
buying from mail order houses or other
out of town concerns. Nor are these
complaints without a material foundation
for it must be admitted that the catalogue
house e and the department stores of the
larger cities are encroaching upon the bus-
iness of our local meechants. Merchants
should everywhere strive to foster the
trade -at-home idea.
Experience has' shown that to abuse
the mail order house through the local
Papers Or otherwise only serves to adver-
tise them, and the only practical way to
keep trade at home is t� stir up interest
in the home town. It is only natural that
people should lose interest in a town
where the monotony of commonplace
events is never broken -where day after
day arid m onth after month there is
nothing to interest or entertain. Wake up
businets Men of Wingham!
In a live towte business is always gOod,
but in a dead one businees is stave dead.
If merchante aped people to trade at
home they must provide means of keeping ewe
alive the interest iia the home town, t, tl

THE HOSPITAL QUESTION
The Clinton News -Record makes a pro-
posal which deserves careful consideration
It says:
The county council at its January meet-
ing appointed a committee to take up the
question of a county memorial hospital
and report at the June meeting.
There seems to be some agitation just
now for the maintenance of say three
smaller hospitals at different points in the
county rather than of one large ne plac-
ed at a central point.
There are already three hospitals in
the county, at Goderich, Wingham and
Clinton, and each is no doubt doing good
work. If one large hospital were estab-
lished it might be considered necessary to
maintain also one or two of the smaller
ones and the cost to the county Would be
much increased without, perhaps, adding
much to the efficiency of the work done
If each of the three hospitals already were
made memorial hospitals and larger year-
ly grants given by the county, perhaps
the best interests of the people would be
served.
This plan has a good deal to commend
it, as prepared with the proposal. to es-
tablish one memorial hospital with a large
county grant. Setting aside the difficulty
of locating the one hospital so that it
would serve the needs of the whole county
there i • the financial question. If a large
hospital were established in any one town,
tinder county auspices, its maintenance
would Oonstitute a heavy financial burden
upon both the county and the town, pre-
suming that the county would not under-
take to establish and make it in perpetu-
ity. With smaller hospitals distributed
about the county, local assistance would
be greater and the burden of maintenance
being distributed would be More easily
borne. Without committing itself to any
particular at the present tithe. The
Ateetteang admits there are some strong
pints in the new proposition.
