The Wingham Advance, 1919-09-04, Page 1Single Copies Time Cents THE OLD TIME FARMER • Long years ago, iso I've been told, There was a farmer mceen Who lived hie life, unspoiled by gold, Upon the simple plan. He plowed. his fields, and made his hay. Unheeding cares or stete, Save that on each electien date He voted party—straight No U. F's the the fight to spoil., No Unionists, had ,split, Each honest tiller of the soil A Tory was, or Grit. No weakling was this farmer man, Hard Work his only law, To end each night some job began, And then to bit the straw. His boys were not allowed to shirk By daylight saving boon, At five a. in. they started work, And twelve o'clock was noon, All day with hearts like thugs, or thieves, Lame backs and blistered feet They bound the golden harvest sheaves Of thistles mixed with wheat. - The only sport they thought of then Was, 'neath the harvest moon, To raid the festive polecat's den, Or hunt the frisky coon The farmer toiled through heat and cold In weather dry and wet, Happy if in the fall he sold Enough to pay each debt. And when the winter snows came down, In plowline girded pants, . He hauled a cord of wood to town To pay for the "Advance." But now, beside the ingle nook, He mourns our modern ways, And sighs, with a discouraged look, "Them was the happy days," Onlooker. BOOST VOUR TOWN.

Madame President and Ladies: . I have taken for my subject' to -day "Music" as I thought this subject had not been given before in your Inetinste. The • thought has often came to me as to what a beautiful gift mutic is, and that every- one should take every opportunity of edu- cating themselves along that line. - Thesis • Mnsic is healthful There ie nq better care for bad humours thel nrinedicine : more pleasant to take. 'Lel everybody' become musicians and surely they would become living soule. The human voice is tbe most perfect musical instrument 'ever rnadearen well it might he fora had the most skillful Maker. Proof •• Music is like the angel -whisperings of kind words in the hour of trouble; Who can be angry when the voice of love speaks in song? Sing to the wicked man, to the disconsolate, to the sufferer, to the old and to the children, for mutic will in- spire them all.. "children should be taught to' sing when quite young for what is sweeter than the songs of innocent childhood, s6 refining and refreshing. Music sweetees the cup of bitterness, lightens the burden of life, makes the heart courageous and the soul cheerfully devout. • Into the soul el thildhood and ,youth it pours a tide of redeeming influence. When we think how much the world wants awakening we can think of no power bet- ter calculated to do it than that which dwells in the mysterious melodies of mus - Every song soothes and uplifts, It is just possible that at times n song is as good as a prayer. One of the greatest attractions for old and -young 'when visiting our cities, is the music that may be heard there. I know of nothing more genial and heart-warniing than to hear the whole family joining in a hymn or song, They will lov.e each other and their home the better for it Songs reamed in childhood are like birds nestling in the boom; their notes will be heard and loved in after years, The hymn sung by a mother to her tittle boy may idafterdays be a voice that will recall him from ruin. " o family can afford to do without music. It is a luxury and an economy, an alleviator of sorrow and a spring retail joyment, a protection against vice and in citerrient to virtue. • Musie will help to make your home at- tractive contribute kindly feeling and loYe. Show me the family where good music is cultivated, where the parents and children ate accustomed often to mingle their voices together in song and you will see one -where peace and harmony arid love prevail and where the great vices have no abiding plate. I know rio mere agreeble and interest- ing spectacle than that of your brothers and sisters playing and singing together those elevated COMPOSitiO112 ifl music and poetry which gratify the taste and purify the heart, You should not fail to consider the great value of home musie Educate yourselves to sting and play so that you can produce sufficient amusement at home and sorrow and pain will be forgotten. Let tia revive old times arid the best of the tato nnes. A merry heart arida siege ing voiee doeth good like a medicine, MUSIC "When griphee dest heart doth wound, And cloiefui 4ittnios the mind oppress.

Wingharn, Aug. 28th. 1919. To the Editor, Advance — Dear Sir, Being one of Huron OldBoys, I will attempt at your request to give you a few reminicences of the past V years which I have spent in the great West of Canada. Following the advice of that great wiseman Sir John A. McDonald who had a vision of the resources and possibilities of that great unknow land which lay west of the Great Lakes, who said to the young men of that day viz 'Go West young man • and grow up with the country." On the 15th of March 1882, the writer with a company of people, the most of which I can name embarked from Bluevaie stat- ion, going by way of Chicago, as the C P. R was not in operation at that time, namely Peter Hill and family, Henry Mc- Vetty and family, Robert Johnson and family, John Little and fanilly, Willian King and family, W. j. • McKinney and family, John Robertson and feetely, Peter Robertson, Hugh Johnson, T. H111, W. Hill of the township of Morris, R. Mus- grove, J. Musgrove, R. McIntosh, P. Mc- Intosh, R. J. Cantelon <if Turnberry, We landed in Winnipeg on the 21st, of • March, a very small town at that time which is now a great and growing metro- polis of close to 300,000 people. The only acommodation we could get was to sleep in the dining room of the city hotel on a shakedown after tbey had cleared the • tables away, We could not get out of Winnipeg for a week on account of the railroad being blocked with snow. It was then in operation as tar west as where the city of Brandon now stands, Brandon being in existence just 9 months, compos- ed of one street with a few wooden shacks and a number of tents. Very little accom- modation for the great rush of People who were landing there daily to spy out the land, a great many of them return- ing like the ten spies with a bad report. Some of the old timers, who are yet on the this side of the river will emember Jim- mie Burgess who in 1880 had located in the Turtle mountain country, which is lo- cated about 50 mile south of Brandon along the International Boundary, whose humble but hospitable home was ever open to the people coming from the vicin ity of Bluevale, a man who was ever ready to give us advice and help us to lo- cate, After a time we all got located in that vicinity and for four years the near- est market we had for oui' prOduce was Brandon 50 miles distant. The most of us hauling our grain that distance with a yoke of oxen. . The writer spent 27 years in that vicin- ity and had the pleasure and privilege of seeing the great lone'land devellop into a country of comfortable home with eery modern convenience dotted here and there with prosperous towns where the most of these early settlers, are now living retired enjoying the fruits of their labor. Quite a number have crossed the Great Divide from which no travellerever re- turns. Ten years ago the writer sold his farm and retired to the Coast and located in the city of 'Vancouver, B C.,of which city and province, I will write more later. P. J. Cantelon. Percy Kerr Returns Among the recent arrivals from over- seas is Sergt. Percy Fowler Kerr, son of Mr- and Mrs. J. H Kerr; Re joined the loth Battalion as a private and went overseas in May /915, crossed to France in September and saw some heavy fight- ing.

FROM CELLS Indian Pried Bars Apart With Plank(?) ---- -- Chief Allen arrested an Indian for being drunk on Saturday evening and placed hint in the cells, On Sunday morning • when he went to see him, his bird had flown to parts unknown, Unlike the Tor- onto jail, it a very rare occurrence for prisoner to escape from the Wingharn pen, and we believe That his escape is even more sensational than any of the Toronto escapes, insomuch that the lad. secured his freedom by prying. apart the iron bars with a piece of stout plank, and was only successful in getting them about ten or twelve inches apart at the very widest part. The miracle is how anyonan, and more especially one the size Of this Indian could possibly squeeze throught such a small opening. The mnn who was employed with Tip- ling and Mills pulling flax, had evidently secured some extracts, florida water and soft drinks and by mixing them had con- tracted a glorious jag From the odor of the mattress and surroundings, they had gone against his stomach, for the mattress will be burned. That he was no ordinary man is certain from the - small spaces which he pushed himself through. It is believed that someone has pushed a piece of hardwood scantling about four feet long through the outer window and reached it across the hall and into the cell. With this he pryed the bars and wisely took along the plank aud scantling with him to assist in the pushing aside of the outer bars which were probably not opened quite the 10 inches to allow him to escape into the night. Kane Struck By Train. Mr, John Finley's team wandered onto the G.

The Mayor also re- ceived a copy of the by-law which will be submitted to the people. Councillor Mitehell brought to the atten- tion of the board the fact that the water 1 was overflowing out of the watering 1 trough at the corner of Alfred and Josep- hine street, and was the means of the road 1 always being muddy. The matter will be attended to, • Mr. Willis stated that the lock up was; • in a bad condition and threw out the sug- gestion that the old mattresses should he burned and new ones bought. A delegation from the G W. V. A ask- ed the council for a grant to assist them in the erection of a new building or the securing of more convenient quarters. The council did not feel that it was in their power to give a grant but promised that they would submit a by-law to the people, at the same time as the hydro by- law will be voted on. The G. W. V. A will ask for a grant of 33000, ana it ie their intention to hold several public meetings and have outside speakers address the ratepayers in their behalf.
