THE EDITOR,
More Honors For Wingham
Nigh School.
Last week, when we went to press,
the Scholarship results had not been
made public. We are now, however,
in a position to report in full the phe-
nomenal success that now stands to
the credit of Wingham High School.
Wm, Argo, the Scholarship candi-
date, was successful in winning a
double Scholarship. His record is re-
markable, and we take pleasure in re-
ferring to it, because it shows what
persevering application, under careful
tuition, may accomplish, and hence
should prove an incentive to other
students.
WM. ARGO'S WORE.
This exceptionally bright scholar
took—
Part I Senior Leaving, with honors.
Part II, " " "
Stands highest in the Province in Sci-
ence, Zoology, Botany and Chemis-
try.
First class honors in Science, English,
History, French, Botany, Zoology
and Chemistry.
Second class honors in Physics and
Mathematics.
Stands first in First class honors in
Science, Biology and Chemistry ;
third in First class honors in English
and History.
He has captured the 1st Edward Blake
Scholarship in Science, of $168.
He also won the 2nd Edward Blake
Scholarship in Science, of $188. The
University regulation prevents him
from receiving this second amount, as
a candidate is only allowed to retain
one Scholarship. Itis also worthy of
notice that this remarkable record
was made by Mr. Argo, notwithstand-
ing that the term was broken into by
a lamentable accident, that resulted in
the death of his mother, thus shadow-
ing the term with the sadness of hav-
ing the tenderest tie on earth severed
by death.
Mr. Argo, who has made this won-
derful record, is 10 or 17 years of age;
heofRev.Mr.Argo,of Ivan,
is a son
Ont. He passed Form II in 1905, with
honors. In 1900, he passed Junior
Leaving with honors. Both these suc-
ecesses were at Dutton High School, of
Tavhich Mr. Taylor (now Principal of
Wingham High School) was then
Principal. Last year he passed Part
IT, Senior Leaving, with honors, and
at the Honor Matriculation received
First class honors in Physics, Chemis-
try, Zoology, Botany and Latin.
Evidently, a brilliant career is open
before him, and his College course will
be watched by his teachers and young
friends of Wingham High School.
RECAPITULATION.
To sum up, the record of Wingham
High School at the recent examina-
tions, is as follows :--
1---Five out of six candidates success-
ful in Junior Matriculation.
2—Twenty-eight out of twenty-nine
successful
in the Junior Leaving
eighteen with Honors.
3 --Nine candidates for Senior Leav-
ing ; all passed, five taking honors.
Argo wins a double Scholar-
ship,
The invitation to equal or surpass
this record for the exams, of 1907 is
Still standing. We are listening.
The Fall Fair,
Set aside the 20th and 27th of Sept.
for Wingham Fall Fair. The list
of attractions has been arranged,
Wingham Citizens Band, Highland
music and dancing, and two speeding
events ate among these. See posters
and hand bills. Tho list of expert
judges has been secured, but we have
to leave it out till next week.
Don't Do It Again.
On Thursday
Iasi,
some boys s of
town went on to W. J. Henderson's
farm near the river. Mr. Henderson
does not object to their fishing or en•
joying themselves, but they started a
fire, and as it was exceedingly dry,
there was danger, Mr, Henderson
saw the smoke and ran at once. The
boys wore set to work to carry water
and the ground fire was put out,
Now boys, if you ever do that again,
something is going to happen, end
you will be sorry. Take this hint and
Ws good.
Local Option Meetings,
The representatives of the Churches
chosen to considor the advisability of
submitting Local Option in this Town,
held their second meeting in the Pres-
byterian church en Thursday evening.
There was a good attendance of those
entitled as delegates to attend. The
Methodist, Presbyterian, Roman Ca-
tholic, Anglican, Baptist Churches
and the Salvation Army were all re-
presented. After considerable- discus-
sion a motion was submitted by Rev.
H. E. Allen, which in effect favored
the commencement of an active cam-
paign at once, An amendment by
Mr. Spotton, in substance, regarded a
campaign at the present as not advis-
able. The motion was declared car-
ried by a vote of 17 to 16. Repre-
sentatives of the Methodist and Bap-
tist Churches, and the Salvation
Army voted for the motion ; those of
the Presbyterian, Anglican and Ro-
man Catholic Churches supported the
amendment, A number of the repre-
sentatives then retired. It was after-
wards decided to ask each of the
Churches to appoint three delegates
favorable to the submission of the By-
law, to form an Executive com-
mittee.
We are informed that only 32 pres-
ent were entitled to vote, but 33 voted.
If this is the case, the vote would be
a tie, and the chairman's vote would
have negatived the motion.
The representatives of the Presby-
terian Church wish it to be distinctly
understood, that though they did not
consider it wise to commence at once
a Local Option campaign, they are not
on that account to be regarded,as op-
posed to Temperance or Moral reform.
They do not, however, consider Local
Option the wonderful remedy others
think it is. Possibly this is tine of the
representatives of other bodies.
In response to a request from a
number of citizens, President Clegg
called a meeting of the Board of Trade
for Monday evening. The Council
Chamber was well filled, and the re-
presentation of business men was one
of the best seen in Wingham. The
attendance was so general, that the
meeting really resolved itself into a
citizens meeting for the free expres-
sion of opinion.
The question of Local Option was
well discussed. Among those who
took part were Dr. McDonald, Messrs.
Spotton, Fisher, Gregory, Gracey,
McKenzie, Harold, Nicholson, Bone,
R. A. Graham and others,
The sentiment of the meeting was
strongly temperance, and the princi-
pal ideas advanced were :—
That the present law might he bet-
ter enforced than it is, and better en-
forcement is desirable, That because
some citizens did not consider Local
Option a cure-all for the evils of in-
temperance, that they should not
therefore be classed as opposed to
moral reform. That the Town au-
thorities did not exercise the power in
their hands ands for enforcement of the
Liquor License law. That hotel -keep-
ers should strictly observe the law,
keep their bars closed during prohibit-
ed hours, and persistently refuse to
sell liquor to minors and habitual
drinkers. That before Local Option is
submitted, proper provision should be
made for the travelling public, and
farmers who patronize the merchants
of town. That to force Local Option
at the present time would be to retard
the Temperance cause and fail to re-
sult in the good expected.
The following resolutions were then
adopted by standing vote, all present
voting except two or three:—
Moved . by Geo. Spotton, seconded
by Wm. Nicholson, --That it is the
opinion of this meeting that the pre-
sent License law, properly enforced, is
preferable to Local Option, and we
cannot endorse the submission of a
Local Option by-law in the Town of
phi y h w
Wingham at the present time—car-
ried.
Moved by W. J. Greer, seconded by
T. Hall,—Believing that a proper en-
forcement of the Liquor License law
would be in the best epterests of this
town, and that the Town Council Ms
certain powers along this line, resolved
—That this representative meeting of
citizens endorse any action the Coun-
cil may take, by means of its officers,
to secure proper enforcement of the
law—carried.

brate Labor day. In the forenoon
there will be field sport, and a baseball
match.between Lucknow and Wing -
ham. In the afternoon at 2.30, a
Lakeside League match will be played
between Kincardine and Wingham.
The former team has secured a 225
lb. pitcher, and hope to win. The
game is likely to be a close one.
Cash Clearing Sale of all Summer

Wedded in Missouri.
The Advance, published in Higgins-
ville, Layfayette County, Missouri,
gives a lengthy account of the mar-
riage of Jas. Franklin Forster, former-
ly a Wingham boy, to Miss Emma
Higgins. The wedding seems to have
been quite a smart affair. A number
of musical selections were rendered.
A young lady presided at the punch
bowl and the cutting of the wedding
cake was a merry feature of the event.
Mr. Forster is manager of the City
Mills, Higginsville.
Huron Rifle League.
The Huron Rifle League is fully or-
ganized and will meet at Auburn on
Tuesday, Sept. 10th, when the semi-
annual match will come off. Seven
men from each of the twelve associa-
tions have been chosen instead of ten
as formerly, and the ranges wilt be 200
and 500 yards, seven shots quick firing
at 200 yards to the minute. Individual
prizes will be the same at each range,
$1, $1,50, three prizes of $1 each, and
three of 50c each, making a total of $8
in each event. The trio prize will be
the same, $8 for the highest total at
all ranges, divided as the others. The
medal winner will be awarded to the
highest scorer in all events, which is
valued at $5. The trophy for the
highest scoring team is a handsome
silver cup, valued at $35.

More Thieving.
This week we have to report more
depredations of those who are break-
ing into residences and stores„ and
taking what does not belong to them.
Last week they broke into the tan-
nery, and endeavored to cut an en-
trance into Mr. Pringle's house. On
Thursday evening they entered the
cellar of the King Edward hotel and
appropriated fifteen or sixteen jars of
fruit, that bad been put away for
winter use. These nocturnal visits
are becoming too frequent, and if they
do not cease the depredators are likely
to be lauded behind prison bars. On
Saturday night some person attempt-
ed to open the door of T. A. Mills'
store, evidently by the use of a key,
which broke in the lock and prevented
the opening of the door. The broken
piece of the key was found in the lock.
It seems to ns that the authorities
should take some steps to ferret out
those who apparently are bent upon
robbery, or perhaps worse.
High School Opening.
Next Friday evening the Com-
mencement exercises of Wingham
High School will be held in the Opera
Rouse. The speaker of the evening
will be J. P. Downey, M. P., who will

cates. Vocal and instrumental music
will add to the pleasure of a most en-
joyable evening. Chair taken at 8

Brussels Champions.
Brussels Football tears are cham-
pions for Ontario in the Intermediate
section, W. F. A. On Saturday last,
their fellow citizens gave the boys a
rousing reception, and Brussels was
lively and gay. Winghatn's excellent
Band was engaged for the evening,
and delighted the Brnsselites with
their choice selections of music, so
well rendered.
A Peculiar Operation,
Thos. Standish of the 13th con. of
Culross has a cow that met with an
accident, and had one leg broken.
His brother, a Veterinary of Walker-
ton, found it impossible to splint the
leg so as to save the cow. He there-
fore decided to amputate the leg ; this
was done, and the cow is doing nicely,
and wilt be fattened for market. This
was certainly better than killing her
at once. This is the first case, that we
have heard of, where this method was
adopted.
An Enjoyable Trip.
Mr. Wm. Bolt returned last week
from a most enjoyable trip to Devon-
shire, England, the place of his birth.
He sailed by the Allan turbine steam-
er Victorian and had a fine voyage.
Thirty-five years had passed since his
last visit and he naturally noted many
chapges, but he never saw times bet-
ter in the old land. He returned by
the Virginian after an absence of two
months, The homeward voyage was
rough, but safe, and Mr. Bolt is look-
ing hale and hearty after his trip.
He spent some time in old London,
and says it is a wonderful city.
WANTED.—A girl for general house-
work.—Mrs. R. M. Robinson, Victoria
street, Wingham.
Bid Him Welcome.
Mr. F. Paterson, the town tax Col-
lector, is making out the tax sche-
dules, and citizens will soon receive an
intimation of their indebtedness to the
Town of Wingham.
Johnny, get your money ready,
The Collector's coming with his bills;
Keep your hand and head steady,
On each dollar, twenty-nine mills.
If you have any lively tune that will
suit these words, you had better get it
going. It may make the load seem
lighter to sing some cheery tune while
you are skirmishing around to find the
shekels necessary to meet the demand.
Mr. Paterson is a good Collector, but
he can't throw off anything. The
only discounts are those noted on the
tax bill, for early payment,
Very Seriously Burned.
On Friday last, Mrs. Walter Rose of
Teeswater (nee ,Miss McTavish of
Wingham) was very badly burned.
She had been compounding a mixture
of beeswax and turpentine, to cover
the IinoIeum with, and left it on the
kitchen.stove. While she was in an-
other room, the mixture caught fire,
and Mrs. Rose endeavored to throw it
out doors. Unfortunately, the door
was closed, and while she opened it,
her clothing, and the window curtains
caught fire ; the latter were entirely
destroyed. Mrs. Rose shouted for
help, which soon arrived, but before
her clothing could be removed, her
right arra, chest and neck were severe-
ly burned, and her face badly scorched,
Fortunately she retained her presence
of mind sufficiently to run to a bed
near by and cover herself up tightly
in the bedclothes. This extinguished
the flames. A physician was sum-
moned, and everything possible was
done to alleviate her sufferings.
While she must of necessity suffer
very much, it is hoped that with care
and skill, she will soon be able to re-
sume her household duties. Her Wing -
ham friends will regret to hear of the
sad accident. Mr. and Mrs. W. Green
drove over on Sunday, and found her
doing as well as could be expected.

Not So Bad Here.
While perhaps the somewhat unfa-
vorable season has had its effects on
the crops in some parts of Huron
county, there are localities that have
fared much worse. Mr. Bulford, re-
porting from South Leeds, says :—"Up
to the 10th of June it was cold and
wet, and since then we have had the
most discouraging drought since '88.
In general the milk output has been
reduced by one-half. Hay is light and
grain short. Some farmers on a hun-
dred acre farm have not over two or
three loads of hay, and some binders
will not be taken out, the mowers and
rakes doing the work in the grain
fields. Many will have nothing to
thresh. Cattle are going forward.

tion. A buyer told me he could pick

have to unload fifty per cent, or more
of their stock. 'One roan, on July 20,
had a herd of twenty cows on a light
farm, and a drover eame along and
picked up four of the best at $10 each,
which he sold a few days later to an-
other for only $12,50. In April last
the first owner refused. $40 apiece for
cows ho afterwards sold for $10. This
is a sample ease. Ilay at present is
$14 to $17 a ton, while oats cost fifty
eentr a bushel,"
Our Advertisers.
A glance at the Advance will show
our readers the demand upon our ad-
vertising columns, and we have had to
give advertisers much less space than
they would like to have bad. Neces-
sarily this curtails our reading matter
space, but we know our readers will
have patience with us ; we are doing
the very best we can under the cir-
cumstances. The advertisers make it
possible for the readers to get a local
paper at $1.00 a year.
A Deaconess Nurse.
Miss Ethalind Howson, is at present
visiting her parents at the parsonage,
before going to British Columbia.
Miss Howson
ws has spent some years in
training as Deaconess, and is a gradu-
ate Nurse, holding the Gold medal.
She has decided to devote her life to
missionary work, and has been ap-
pointed by the W. M. F. S. She
leaves on October 24th, to take charge
as Superintendent of Bella Bella
hospital, B. C. Many sincere wishes
for her success will go with her.

Hicks' Forecasts For September.
A Regular Storrs Period covers the
first week in September, being central
op the 4th. A very threatening baro-
meter, with high temperature will ap-
pear in western extremes by the 3rd
and 4th, and storms of much energy
will sweep progressively over the
country from the 4th to 7th. The cul-
mination will come on and touching
7th, Seismic shakes will be probable
in many parts of the globe within
forty-eight hours of noon on the 7111.
A Reactionary ,Storm Period comes
close after the crisis of the first period.
It is central on the 9th, 10th and llth
Remember, this is at an annual crisis
of magnetic unrest, added to all the
other disturbing factors. Heed all
warnings and indications of growing
storms, inland, on the coasts and on
the seas, in the south especially.
Heavy storms of rain, hail, wind and
thunder will move out of the north-
west, also, and be followed by great
change to cooler, with probable frosts.
A. Regular Storm Period the 14th to
10th, is one of great and almost cer-
tain severity. It is at the crisis of the
autumnal equinox. The equinoxes of
Jupiter and Saturn are in full force.
Vulcan, Venus and Mercury are all
central in disturbing energy, with
Moon passing from first quarter to
full, at south declination and in peri-
gee. This period, and this whole cen-
tral part of the month, is full of per-
turbing causes and phenomenal pos-
sibilities. Hurricanes and cyclonic
storms should be anticipated about
the southern coasts, with sympathetic,
equinoctial, tornadic storms over the
interior. The chances are that gen-
eral storms and atmospheric unrest
will continue until after the Reaction-
ary Storm Period which is central on
the 20th, 2lst and 22nd. Many vol-
canic and seismic convulsions will also
be reported within forty-eight hours
of sunset on the 21st. At the windup
of this prolonged time of general and
violent disturbances, look for a pheno-
menally high barometer, fierce north-
westerly gales, and a dash of almost
early winter out of the northwest,
The boreal change will lie between
21st and 25th. The hast storm period
for September centres on the 27th to
20th. The chances are that Septem-
ber will be disturbed, if not pheno-
menally stormy and out of joint, to
the last. Such may not be the case—
we do not affirm positively that it
will. Birt we do say that the astrono-
mic outlook for this month strongly
points to such results, We do not
mean that great calamities are inevit-
able, or that the foundations of nature
will be out of order ; but unless there
is a compensating resultant of war-
ring forces that we cannot now see,
the meteorological record for Septctn-
ber, taking the whole world over, will
approach the phenomenal,

The removal of J. W. Duncan,
leader of the Citizens' Band, to IIar-

new leader. The choice fell upon Mr.
Geo. Wrigley, who has been a mem-
ber of the Band for some time. He is
said to have a good knowledge of
music, and will make a good leader.
The Band is a credit to Wingham,
and members are looking forward
hopefully to further progress under
their new leader.
"You often read of people dying
from cramps while in swimming," said
James D. Rose, of Martin, Tenn.
'People don't die from cramps while
in bathing. The water gets in the
ears, floods the ear -drum, and causes
the nerves leading to the brain to
become paralyzed. This naturally
forces other vital nerves to cease per-
forming their duty, and the result is
death. If people who go hi swimming
would put cotton in their ears, the
ntunber of deaths from "cramps"
wonld be much smaller.

The Leading Shoe Store
We're Out For
The School
Shoe Trade
All the boys and girls know
that this is the place to get the
proper styles, but, if there's a
family that does not buy their
Boys' and Girls' Shoes here and
we can get the head of that
family to read this advt, and
to come here just to take a
look at our School Shoes—we'll
get that family's trade, sure.
No father or mother can
resist such tempting values as
we are offering in $1.00, $1.25,
$1.50 and $1.75 School Shoes
for boys and girls.

AND VALISES.
