According to the report of Thomas
Southworth, Directory of Forestry for
the Province of Ontario, twenty-five
per cent. of a country should be per-
petually covered with timber to se-
cure favorable climatic conditions and
regulate the water supply. Thirty
of the counties of Ontario have less
than this per centage. York and Peel
have ouly 7 per cent, and another
county has less than 10 per cent. York
county's acreage is , 536,015 acres, in-
cluding 432,135 clearance, 32,934 wood-
land, and 50,416 waste. Over clear-
ance is more pronounced in the west-

east.

Brown has decided to extend his busi-
ness in this direction, and will at-
tend sales when desired. Orders may
be booked and dates arranged at the

Delayed.
Just after pulling out from the sta-
tion on Tuesday noon, the Kincardine
train was partly detailed at the
+twitch. Two freight cars left the rails
ane of them breaking from the trucks
and upsetting. Both cars were con-
siderably damaged. Little delay was
caused to the passenger section, which
was detached and sent on. It is said
that a hobo was riding between the
two freight cars, and jumped just in
time to avoid being crushed. The
cause of the accident, apparently, was
a sinking of the rails. -[Palmerston

Another Teacher.
It is a stark of a progressive town
when its educational interests are re-
garded as of the utmost importance.
Wingham has an excellent School
Board, who regard the efficiency of
the school as an important factor in
our town's welfare. As will be seen
by the report of the Inspector in an-
other column, an additional teacher is
a necessity if the work of the Contin-
uation Glasses is to be successfully
prosecuted. The Principal cannot
properly teach all the classes in the
advanced subjects any longer without
an assistant. The Board has decided
to carry out the recommendation" of
the Inspector, and by removing some
partitions, prepare another room on
the west side of the building. This
will be fitted up, and probably cue of
the present statf will assist the Princi-
pal, and a new teacher be engaged for
one of the junior departments. This
arrangement will involve but a small
expenditure for fitting up of the room,
and will give Wingitan the advantage
of the High School cnrriruhrxn, with-
out the heavy expenses of maintaining
a High School. As the change would
of necessity have to be made in July,
the Board wisely decided to make the
change at the Easter vacation, and
thus secure the additional grant of
$200 given by Government for Contin -
nation class work. By this arrange-
ment the principal and"his assistant
will be able to thoroughly tench the
advanced subjects, and the annual
grant for such work will he increased
from $200 to $400. By making the

accidentally shot dead by his own son
on Tuesday afternoon. The old
gentleman was splitting wood in the

alight on an apple tree close by, be
called the son to come and shoot it.
The boy brought out the gun and fired
at the bird, which only wounded it,
and after re -loading the gun was in
the act of raising the gun to bis shoul-
der when it accidentally went off, the
whole charge of shot entering his
father's right side and back, He only
lived about three hours after the ac-

Farewell Social.
The monthly meeting of the Y. P. S.
and literary society of the Presbyterian
church was held on Friday evening
last, in the basement of the church,
which was crowded to the doors. Mr.
Herb. Wightman was elected Presi-
dent of the Society, to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation of Mr. N. A.
Farquharson, whose illness is much
regretted by the Society. Mr. John
Ritchie was appointed Treasurer, in
place of Miss Cline, whose removal
from town deprives the Society of one
of its most useful members. A varied
and excellent program followed, con-
sisting of solos from Miss Chisholm,
Miss Lillian Ross, Messrs. Harrison,
Cline and Hanna; quartettes by the
Cline family and Messrs. Chapman,
Linklater, Skeates and Pearson ; a
reading by Miss Carrie Fisher, violin
solo by bliss Pearl McIver, and an in-
strumental by Miss Kertie Ross. The
orchestra, ander the able leadership of
Mr. 3. A. Morton, added much to the
evening's entertainment. At the close
of the program, Mr. J. A. Cline was
called to the platform, and was pre-
sented by Messrs. P. Linklater and
Campbell, with a beautiful Cabinet r'
Silver, the gift of the congregation,
Dr. Irwin read the following address :

lies of our congregation, but while as-
suring you that you carry with you

Signed on behalf of the congregation -
Rev. D. Perrie, Dr. Irwin.
W. Ilolmes, W. H. Pearson,
A. Perrie, E. A. Matheson.
Mr. Cline touchingly expressed his
appreciation of both the gift and the
kindly words and wishes which accom-
panied it. Rev D. Perrie in a few
well chosen words, spoke of his regret
at the removal of the Cline family,
his appreciation of the readiness and
efficiency with which they had always
engaged in any work of the church.
"Auld Lang Syne" closed the evening's

To the School Board: -
Gentlemen, -I visited your school on
Feb. 5, G, 7. I found the rooms clean
and warns, but the ventilation bad. The
outbuildings were also in a satisfactory
condition. You hare an excellent care-
taker. Tho new teacher, Miss McLean,
seems to be doing very satisfactory work,
The other teachers are doing as usual-
quito satisfactorily. I am of the opinion
that au assistant should bo engaged to
assist the Principal with the Contiuna«
tion Class work exclusively. This would
give you all the adyautnges of a High

COMMUNICATION.
The admission of a communication in these
columns does not imply that we endorse the
sentiments of the welter. -Editor Advance,
Editor Wingham Advance, -
Again I presume on your kindness and
the patience of your staff for another
space in your much appreciated columns,
And so, Bro. Citizen, again we write
thee, greeting. We have read, marked,
learned and inwardly digested your com-
munication of last week, and Fair Play
would most emphatically state that in-
deed he would not bo satisfied with 98c
ou the dollar, but would want the whole
100 every time -nothing more, nothing
less; but should the baker allow more
than the standard weight of the raw
material, he would not get the 98, no
nor 90. The standard weight of a To-
ronto loaf is one pound and a half, which
sells at 5c per loaf. How would that
catch you, Mr. Citizen? Had. Wingham
a by-law to that effect, the bakers would
not then be compelled to be so exact. In
speaking of anathemas we did not intend
to use the personal pronoun in the 'Singu-
lar, but iu the plural, having reference
Mr. Citizen to those who like you, have
been for the past five years, gentlemen
of leisure, weighing the bakers' loaves.
In fact they have been looking for a
mountain, but finding ouly a mole -hill,
have turned thereon a strong magnify-
ing glass, which deludes them to that
extent, that really they believe 'the
monntain is there. So strong has be-
come this delusion to them, the baker's
dishonesty becomes an miler demonstra
tion. Hoping that aur vocabtilary this
time, will not: 'ar thy sensitive,aherves;-:-
