SLiBSCRIPTIQN $1.00 PER TRAM IN .ADYANQH. 1.60 xo St7BeoR EER$ IN lL,15, SANCTUM PARAGRAPHS. —It is a, matter worthy of note,, that notwithstanding the thousands who holidayed in Toronto on July 12th,._ the Magistrate's Court the next day showed no increase in the number of those charged with being intoxicated,. and the city papers report that none of those so charged were identified with the Orange Order, When this is the record for a large city like To- ronto, it is a. matter for congratula- tion from a moral standpoint. The man who degrades himself by intoxi- cation bars himself from respectable circles, and blocks his own path to success in either business or social circles. Young men would do well to note this change In public sentiment, and avoid evil habits, The total amount paid by the Do- minion Government in bounties for the fiscal year ending 31st March last was $2,407,000. ,Of this amount $1,- 804,600 was paid in iron and steel boun- ties. The bounty on lead was $307,- 433, on -crude petroleum $280,689, and on triennia fibre $34,561. It may be that we do not understand the subject thoroughly, bot it does seem to the writer, that these are not "infant in- dustries," and they ought to be able to get along without help from the taxes of the people. They are run by weal- thy corporations that care not one fig for the people, who contribute in cash to their prosperity. Is it not time these bounty -fed industries were made to stand alone, and cease to be spoon- fed ? Government reports and statistics regarding the crops of 1069 are en- couraging. Though the Spring was exceedingly backward and unfavor- • able for early sowing, the harvest, even in the West, does not threaten to be so late, as to be endangered by frost. This ought to teach us that many of our fears are groundless, and that a kind and watchful Providence has' anAlmighty hand upon the helm.' ' There May be differences in some`lo- calitiee,• or on some crops, but general- . iy speaking, there' is reason for great gratitude. The area reported under wheat crop is 7,750,400 acres, _being 1,140;000 more than last year. ' Oats . cover ; 0,302,600 acres, being 1,361,500 'more. than last year, and barley 1,804,- 000 acres; or 110,000 more than last year. From railroad, milling', 'and newspaper representatives all over the Dominion, reports as to growing con- ditions during the past • week have been very generally encouraging. In the United States, too, recent weather has improved the outlook. Those who study the situation however, are of the opinion, that high prices for grain are likely to continue for some time at least. *,* Special Council. Meeting. A special meeting of the Town Council was held on Tuesday evening to discuss the matter of sidewalk over G. T. R. bridge to the Foundry, and also that of a loan to Mr. Pringle to rebuild his tannery. Regarding the sidewalk on the rail- way bridge, the report of the G. T. R. Superintendent, U. S. Gillen, was pre- sented with plan of the proposed walk. The report stated that as a rule, the railway objected to having any walk attached to their bridges, blit in this case they would consent, under cer- tain conditions. The walk proposed would bear a weight of 250 pounds tp the square foot, and the estimated cost was $661.45, On motion of Coun. Redmond and the Reeve, the matter was referred to the Street and Side- walk committee, The matter of a loan to Mr. Pringle was then considered. Mr. Pringle asked for a loan of $4,000 for ten years ; said loan to be repayable, $400 yearly, with interest at four per cent. on full amount unpaid. He proposed to erect a, building and equip it with a plant ; in all the property would be worth $7,000. He would give the Town as security for the loan, a mort- gage on building and plant, with cus- tomary insurance. After considera- tion, it was moved by Couns. Elliott and McKibbon, and resolved, that the matter be considered by the public meeting called for Friday evening to consider By-laws. Incidentally, the question of fur- nishing electric power in the day time came up, and was briefly and inform- ally discussed. This is something the town should have, and from which in a very short time, a good revenue might be obtained. The question will be further considered. The Council seemed disposed to favorably:, regard the proposal, if the prospects were good for meeting the extra cost by the revenue. Information on the matter is being sought. ' Council then adjourned. Fitting indeed is the proposal to celebrate in a suitable manner in 1015, one hundred years of peace' between Canada and the United States. If two nations can live alongside each other, and amicably dispose of all their differ- ences for one hundred years, why not for all time ? Similarly, if two nations can do that for one hundred years, why not other nations, and still fur- ther, why not all nations and for all time ? Of course they could if they would. The only thing that stands in the way, is the injustice, greed and selfishness of a few rulers of the na- tions. The people do not desire war. The people do not want millions spent in the clash and to hear armaments, of arms, and have the husbands and sons of their homes, slaughtered on the battlefield by Maxim guns, or blown to atoms by the thunder of Dreadnoughts. Right down at their heart's core, the people are for peace. The teller who picks es quarrel, in which tens of thousands may die (who really have no part in the quarrel) ought by a decree of the nations to be dethroned, and banished to Siberia, where he would have plenty of time, and a suitable climate, in which to cool off, * * * .- Ought To Be Ashamed.. Evidently Teeswater has a Council that .is bound to gain cheap notoriety. Because the local paper reported things as they really were, '• the Council sent the little bit of printing the village required to Walkerton. The editor however survived the`at- tempt to starve him into submission, and persisted in doing his own report- ing. At a Council meeting recently, the words "you're a liar" were repeat- edly used,. one of the Councillors leav- ing his seat to shout it into another Councillor's ear, and shaking his fist intothe other's face. At the • next election Teeswater electors ought to elect a majority of gentlemen to the Council ; men who have common sense enough to transact the business of the village without making a show of themselves. Death Of Duncan Campbell. Word was received here on Friday of the death of a former resident of Wingham, D. A. Campbell, of Toron- to, in his 85th year, He was one of the pioneers, who helped to build up Ontario into the prosperous province it is to -day. Ile was born at Dough - note, Islay, Scotland, and came to this country when but seven years old and settled in Peel County. There he became engaged in the rough, hard work of clearing up the land. Later in life he became connected with the firm of McDiarmid & Logan, of Lon- don, Ont, Deceased was a brother of the late Prof. John Campbell, of Vic- toria University, and he himself was a Methodist local preacher of consider- able eloquence, and a staunch Liberal in politics. His wife died in Wing - about five years ago, whereupon he removedto Toronto and took up his residence with a daughter, Mrs. W. H. Barlow, on Alexander St., where he died, The late Mr. Campbell is survived by five sons, all of whom are in the western provinces, and "three daugh- ters, Mrs. W. H. Barlow, Miss M. Campbell and Mrs. Albert Waite, of Toronto. The funeral took place to Wingham cemetery, on Saturday. West Huron Entrance.

Last week some American tourists amused themselves in Toronto by fast- ening (Inion Jacks to the wheels of their motor ear, and dragging the flag in the mud, jeering at the flag and laughing at what they considered a very smart act. Had anyone dared to treat the American flag that way in an American city, they would proba- bly have been mobbed to death in a very few minutes, .A few years ago, was on its Canadians special n a p e 1 train of way to NewYork to the International Christian Endeavour Convention, and the writer was one of the delegates. Just to show that it was a train of Canadians, the passengers placed a Union Jack on the front of the engine. No indignity was offered the Ameri- can flag by this simple act, but never- theless, the train was not allowed to proceed until the flag was removed. We are of the opinion that the .Amer- eans referred to above, who thus grat- ultously insulted the flag of the people of this country, trust have been densely ignorant specimens. Well- bred Americans would not so treat the flag of any nation, where for the tune being they Were residing. Iof un t e- iy the speotatore had. common sense, and refrained from resorting to turn« meal punishment, although richly deserved. 401 • 467 500 411 432 401. 432 303 Wreck On C. P. R.

On the By- law for Commissioners to manage the Electric Light and Waterworks, all municipal voters may vote. As there wilt he three ballots, they will be of different colors to distinguish them, and voters will save trouble and time to remember the colors, as follows :--- Waterworks By-law—WHITE Town Hall " —LIGHT BLUE Commissioners " —CANARY Polls open at 9 a.m., and close at 5 p.m. A public meeting will be held in the Town Hall on Friday evening of this week, to discuss these By-laws, and there should be a full attendance of those interested. Winghamites At Port Stanley. Two hundred residents of Wingham took in the Masonic excursion, which took place to Port Stanley on Wednes- day of last week, The excursion was under the auspices of Lodge No. 286' and a special train was used to convey the holidayers to the popular summer resort. During the day various games were indulged in, and a moonlight ex- cursion was held in the evening. The picknickers passed through London at 0.30 on their return home, after the day of their lives, as one of the mem- bers of the committee put it. Clearing sale of Millinery is now on, at Miss Little's. Sermon To Orangemen. On Sunday evening, L. 0. L.

On returning to the room, a vote of thanks was Lodgeono , passedto Rev C. B. unanimously r Jeakine for hie address, to the Church. Wardens for their kindness, and to the choir for their exoellerft music. WANTc;i1.--Two smart boys to learn the upholstering trade. Apply to Walker 8 Clegg. Some Good Advice. Keep still. When trouble is brew- ing, keep still. When slander is get- ting on its legs, keep still. When your feelings are hurt, keep still—till you recover front your excitement at any rate. Things look different through an. unagitated eye. In a commotion, once, I wrote a letter and sent it, and wished I had not. In my later years I had another commotion, and -wrote a long letter ; but life rub- bed a little sense into me and I kept that letter in my pocket against the day when I could look it over without agitation and without tears. I was glad I did. Less and less it seemed necessary to send it. I was not sure it'would do any hurt, but, in my doubtfulness, I leaned to reticence, and eventually it was destroyed. Time works wonders.. Wait till you can speak calmly, and then you will not need to speak, maybe. Silence is the most massive thing conceivable, some- times. It is strength in very grandeur. —Selected. Civic Holiday, 22nd. Mayor T. Gregory has proclaimed Thursday, July 22nd, a Civic Holi- day for Wingham, and calls upon all loyal citizens to observe it as such. The event of the day will be the Union Sunday Schools' Excursion to the Lakeside at Kincardine. This has been a success every year, and there is no visible reason why it should not be well patronized this year. See the bills and circulars for particulars as to trains. For The. Highest. Mr. Dudley Holmes has kindly donated a handsome set of books to the student of Winghani High School who receives the highest number of marks at the Junior Teachers' exam- ination. We shall announce the win- ner in due time. Why Not Electric Power? The Advance has frequently advo- cated the furnishing of electric power by the Town of Wingham. We have a good plant, good water -power, and steam power ready to furnish deficit ency in case water might be low in the summer months, and we see no reason why this resource should not be developed, Possibly, the first year might show a deficit, but after that, we feel sure that there would be a good revenue, Several firms are now anxious for it, and a canvass would secure others. Manufacturers would soon find it cheaper than steam, and prefer it to gasoline. Besides, the fact that electric power was available would be a great inducement tomanu- facturers to locate here. The Ad- vance is pleased to see the Council moving in the matter by taking it in- to consideration, which we hope will result in accomplishment, Installation of Officers. Installation of officers for Maitland Lodge, No. 110, I. O. 0. F., took place on Thursday evening of last week, as follows :-- N. G J W. McKlbbon V. G W. Britton Sec ...J. F. Groves F. S T. J.

Deyell At the conclusion of the installation ceremonies, which were conducted by Jno. Haines, D. D., the members en- joyed refreshments at E. Moore's res- taurant. Commencing Again. Mr. Gurney of the Glove factory re- turned from a business trip to New York, State, on Friday last, to find the Tannery in ruins, and all his stock, patterns and machines destroy- ed. He figureshis loss at about $2,000, but is nevertheless on the alert. He has purchased a building on Victoria street, and will commence business there as soon as he can secure power and stock. We hope no such misfor- tune will ever befall either Mr. Prin- gle or Mr. Gurney again. Public Meeting. Mayor Gregory has called a meeting of the ratepayers Py ars and electors of the Town to be held in the Town Hall in the evening of Friday of this'week, July 16th, to consider and discuss the merits of the By-laws now before the people. A full discussion of the ques- tions involved is invited, and a num- ber of ratepayers will address the meeting, If you are interested in these By-laws, and you ought to be, don't fail to attend this meeting at 8 o'clock to -morrow evening (Friday.)

As It Ought T6 Be. • Two of (leftist's ministers, Rov. T. 11. Farr of the Episcopal Church, and .Ii. W. McTavleh of the Methodist Church, were in town on Thursday of last week, having driven over on a fraternal outing. These two ministers of the Gospel are apparently on good terms, for. they go out making pastor- al calls together at tines. If friend- ly' feelings, such as exist between the above gentlemen, were more genera' between ministers of various denomi- nations, they would dotibtleas break down many of the barriers that at present 'exist between congregations and 'at the same time go a long way towards making church union snore probable.

Possibly very few really know what an inch of rain means. An acre is 6,272,040 square inch. An inch of water on an acre, therefore, 6,272,640 cubic inches. That amount, at 227• cubic inches to the gallon, equals 22,, 000 gallons, or 220,000 lbs., or 100. tons. An inch of rain is, in other words, rain falling at the rate of 100 tons" to the acre. About Our M. P. The teeter Advocate has this to say:—Mr A. H. Musgrove, M. P. P., for North Huron, who has been teach- ing in the Exeter School since the Laster holidays, returned to his home in Wingham last week. Prior to his leaving he entertained the mem. hers o the Canada Club to a pleasant f evening at their rooms, where Me. Musgrove, during his stay here, has been an honored guest. The boys have all a kindly and affectionate feel- ing for hind and regretted to see him leave town. A Challenge. Mr. John Bell is one of the stalwarts of Morris township, and for a man of 79 years, is smart and active. He is willing to race any man of his age in the township for $1000, and by the way in which he can step off a jig, it is unlikely any man could hope to beat him, He says that, if the Lord spares him, he intends to live until he is 98 years of age.

Tie sent to the States for a new piece, and in due time, a heavy piece of the machine came, and with it a bill for $1.13, besides over $ $0 for duty and express, running up to about $200. Of course, Me. McIntosh declin- - probably be ce t andwill ed toao ti able to get the piece made In Canada for a email amount Charges across the line come high. 'Local 'gems Drink Christie's Teas.

Miss Ethel Leinster, sis- ter of the bride, was bridesmaid, and Rev. Mr. McCracken acted as best man. David Lougheed's Injuries. Since last issue, further particulars have been received regarding the case of David Lougheed, a former citizen of this town, whose parents still reside here. It appears that David was at his work in a factory in Regina, when he fell through a trap-door in the floor and fractured his spine, He was tak- en to a hospital, and a second message was received stating thathe inwas con- scious, and not suffering. Another message conveyed less encouraging news, to the effect that he was sinking fast, Have 'Taken Possession. The business change announced in our last issue, took place as stated, and Mr. W. J. Howson is now in pos- session of Mr. Nicholls' Bakery busi- ness, and we hope his investment will prove financially satisfactory, He will now be able not only to supply flour, but bread also. Mr. ,and Mrs. Nicholls have been respected residents of Wingham for many years, and should they decide to remove from town, Wingham will part with them with regret, but wish them well for the future, Mr. John Hunter of Ashfield, an old gentleman 70 years of age, was operat- ed on for gall stones, at the Hospital by Dr. Kennedy last week.

There being no further business, the Board adjourned, Summer Hats must go ; see them,— Miss Little. Mr. Thos. Hill of Langside got a few months behind with his subscription (just since January last) but he was kind enough to even matters up by paying for the whole of 1910 at the same time. That's the right way to do, and the editor would appreciate a similar act by a few who are a good deal farther in arrears.

But before dark, and before the Prussian general came to Wellington's a1d, the British troops had driven back the finest regiments of Napoleon, and Waterloo was won.
