PARAORAPfIS. —Some time ago, the prevailing opinion seemed to be that wheat would remain at considerably over the dollar mark. Justenow, the tendency of grain prices appears to be down ward. x r * —It is intimated that the Ontario Legislature will be called to meet about the middle of January. The fiscal year will close October 214, and the reports will all be ready for the opening of the Legislature, so that it is expected that a short smitten of less than two months will see the business through. * * * —The new Pennsylvania railway station in New York is the largest in the world, and it was built in record time. It encloses eight acres, and its walls measure eight miles length ; 27,- 000 tone of steel, fifteen million bricks, and 1,140 carloads of granite were used in building it. Yet only thirteen months elapsed between the laying of the first and last stones. * * —Fire insurance losses in Ontario, during July of this year were very heavy, and with the Orillia and Glen- coe fires, they will be very heavy for August. Last month the losses to- talled over a million` and a quarter dollars. The fire losses every year are tremendous. During 1908, insurance companies doing business in Canada paid out over ten million. dollars for losses, and this large amount did not' at all re-imburse the losers. The in- surance natty. be paid and the fire suf- ferer recouped to that extent, bat the country is that much poorer, never- theless. In the July fire record to which reference bas been mads, the Cobalt conflagration represents at least five hundred thousand dollars. * * * —The New York World's correspon- dent vouches for the truth of the fol- lowing :—Following the earthquake of Messina, American generosity.provid- ed for the survivors a village of com- fortable frame buildings, which were shipped in parts ready to be set up in the devastated district. In due course the government gave permission to occupy this village to seventy-two -families, whose homes bad been de- stroyed in the catastrophe. .When the government officials saw them comfortably housed, they ordered them all out and occupied the houses themselves, leaving the seventy-two families living and sleeping in the open air again. The Italian Govern - relent is awfully corrupt,'but this use of benevolent subscriptions' for earth- quake sufferers is unparalleled. * * * —So it seems that the great Cement combine is an accomplished fact. The new monopoly has a capital of thirty - Million dollars. Even supposing some of the stock is watered, consumers may well tremble when they think of such a combine. Just think of what a hard thing the public is up against, when they deal with a com- combine of cement and water—why nothing can break it. Thirty million, dollars capital ! Yes, and interest must be paid on all this immense capi- talization. ' Where will the interest come from ? There is only one source, and that is from the consumers of cement. The great combine is sure to fix the price of cement high enough to pay themselves good dividends. If the people grumble, the -merger can laugh, and say as a deceased politician once did—"Wait till you see us next year." The combine takes in nearly all the companies, leaving a few out - Fide, Whether these can successfully beseen. compete remains p m The three mills at Owen Sound, the Wier- ton, Durham, Brantford, Orangeville, Ayton, Hanover and Deseronto mills are not included in the list. * * * —It seems a pity that there should be conflict between the Ontario and Dominion Governments' on matters viewed from a moral s wora tans of p nt. Some time ago, the Ontario Govern, ment cancelled the Charter that al- • lotved betting and raeing at Dufferin Park, ',These interested at once made application to the Dominion Govern- ment, and were promptly granted a charter to do the very things Ontario desired not to be done. It seems to us that this is a piece of highhanded interference and over-riding of pro- vincial legislation, Whet is the nee of Ontario legislation, if the Dominion Government can step in, snap its fin- gers, and give a body of men liberty to do what the Ontario Government says they must not do. Sorely the people of Ontario ought to know what they wish, and should be permitted to carry out their wishes. The action of, the Dominion Governenent in thus over.rfdieg and annulling the work of the Ontario Government is nothing short of intolerable interference. We are pleased to see that the Toronto Globe lbas entered its protest, and de. tnande that the Charter be at once re• yoked, The Globe fears that the evils which have made the Woodbine, Port ?hie, and *Windsor centres told ag e- eiee of gambling will, under this red - teal shatter, be Multiplied hi e re er and MAO moon vlolouk in AO/sister. Bowling Tournament. Wingham Bowling Club's second Teurnarnent began on Monday lest. There were 20 rinks competing for the handsome prizes, These havebeen in the.fine show window of Hanna & Co. for the past ten days, and are certainly elegant. For the Trophy, the first prize is four Morris Chairs, quarter cut oak, polished, with plush cushions, valued at $00. Second prize, four hand -paint- ed sandwich trays, value $25. Association Prizes are—First, four card tables, quarter cut oak, drop leaf, valued at $10. Second prize, four cut glass berry bowls, value $30, - Consolation—First prize, four large black Onyx parlor clocks, valued at $10 each.

WINGIIAM, ONT., TIIUJ tSi1Y, SEPTEMBER 2, 19O9, Pringle By.Law Carried. The vote of the Property -owners on Monday last, on the By-law to loan $4,000 to W. D. Pringle, was favorable and the By-law was carried by 20 votes over the necessary three-fifths, The following is the vote in the dif. ferent ,wards :-- Ward Possible Necessary For Against 1...., 91 57 66 6 2 80 54 62 4 3 ... 104 02 72 4 4 .., 181 109 103, 10 Totals 468 282 303 21 Mr. Pringle certainly lost no time. in ersectiug his Tannery. The old building was destroyed by fire on July 8th, and the new building was erected and machinery installed before the. end of At1gitst. A record like that. certainly indicates business ability and energy. The main building is two storeys high, and basement, all 50x50 feet, The entire basement has ce'nnent floor and is fitted with cement vats, instead of the old style. Here too is the new engine on a solid cement base. Adjoining, is the engine and coal rooms 300,2, and the chemical - Tom 24x30, both with cement floors. All the buildings are of brick, and are substantially built. The first and second floors of the main building afford excellent work- ing space, with ample light. On the first floor, to the right is the office, where Miss Dodd, the efficient clerk, attends to the clerical work. Mr. Pringle's chief work is the pre- paration of Glove leather, and he will also manufacture railway men's gloves. This will not interfere with Mr. Gurney's industry. The Advance is pleased to see Wing - ham retain this industry. It is also pleasing to note the very substantial buildings erected; they indicate the permanence of the industry. We hope to see Mr. Pringle develope a very prosperous business, as a reward for his enterprise and energy. A Culross Wedding. A quiet but pretty wedding took place at noon on Wednesday, August 25th, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Jackson, Spring Bank Farm, Culross, when their eldest daughter, Pearl Elizabeth, became the bride of Mr. T. J. Warren of Rapid City, Man. The bride entered the parlor, 'lean- ing on the arm of her father, to strains of Lohengrin's bridal march, and was unattended. The ceremony was per- , formed by Rev. Geo. Jackson of Walkerville, assisted by Rev. Thos. Jackson of Strathroy, uncles of the bride, and only immediate relatives of the bride and groom were present. The groom's gift to the bride was a handsome Heintzman piano, and to Miss Martha' Roe, who played the wedding march, a beautiful pearl crescent. The bride wore a travelling suit of ashes of roses chiffon broad- cloth, trimmed with Persian Lace and braid, and a hat to match. After wedding luncheon, the happy couple left on the afternoon train to vielt some of the eastern cities before returning to their home in Rapid City, The- costly and beautiful presents which the bride received show the esteem in which she is held. The relatives present from a dis- tance were—Rev. Geo. and Mrs. Jack- son -of Walkerville, Rev. Thos. Jack- son of Strathroy, Mr. and Mrs. Pat- terson of Kansas, Dr. and Mrs. Louns- bury of Philadelphia, Penn„ Miss Virtue and Miss Staples of Bo roman - villa. The friends of the young cou- ple wish them many years of hap- piness. A Busy Industry. The enterprise and business tact displayed . by Mr. W. 11. Gurney, is certainly Commendable, in so quiekly having his Glove making establish. meet in running order again. Mr. Gurney's plant, stock and patterns were completely destroyed by fire on July 8th during his absence Oh business. It Was certainly discour- aging on his return, to find everything in ruins. However, he was equal to the occasion,, and intmediately began the task of comtnencing afresh, A build{ ing was secured, and without delay orders Were given for patterns, stock and machinery. In an almost in- credibly short time, the finished pro. duct was being turned Out again, A flve,horse-powee gasoline engine furnishes the power. On the second floor le the Work and stock room. There is good light, and here the material is cut, and thirteen sewing machines complete the Work. Mr, 'Gurney deserves credit for his enterprise, and though besides the loss, the interruption in business eau sed b p e d y the Are, was serious, we hope he will now meet with tnoet satisfactory re - turtle far his investatent and btns1 nese energy. Labor Day Celebration, The Citizens' Band is making every effort to have a, successful celebration on Labor Day, September 6th. In the forenoon there will 'be.aBase- ball game between Wingham and Lucknow. The afternoon will be full of fun. A Lacrosse match between Wingham and Kincardine will be one of the attractions.

A business. change took place in town on Wednesday of this week, when Mr. R, Awde disposed of his flour and feed business to his son, J. L. Awde. The latter is not a stranger to the people of Wingham, and is a straight -forward business young man. Mr, and Mrs. Awdepurpose removing to Toronto. They were excellent citi- zens and we regret their intended re- moval. The Harvest. In this section of country, the har- vest is nearly all safely housed. The tremendous drop in the temperature augurs ill for the West, but reports state that 75 per cent, of the crop in Manitoba, and sixty per cent, of that in the entire West was cut last week, and every day since has seen the acres of standing grain lessened, so that the crop will be nearly all safe, and it is reported of good. quality. Scarcity of help delayed the harvesting. Home From The West. David Lougheed was brought home from Regina, on Friday last, We -re- gret to hear that the Iower part of his body still remains paralyzed, and he is at present in the hospital. Otherwise, he is in fairly good health, and has a good appetite. He is hopeful, that in a few months, he will gain sufficient strength to enable him to engage in some Iight employment. We hope that these prospects may be realized. Mrs. Lougheed and family returned with him. ScixooL SlzoEs.—It cost much less, in the end, for the Boys' and Girls' School Shoes, when they are bought here.—W. J. Greer. Not Marrying In Haste. "I hope, Jennie, that you have giv- en the matter serious consideration ?" said a lady to a servant girl who had "given notice" because she was to be married that day two weeks. "Oh, I have ma'am," was the earnest reply. "I have been to two fortune-tellers and sclairvoyant, and looked in a sign book, and dreamed on a lock of his hair, and been to one of these asterologers and to a meejum, and they all say,go ahead, ma'am, 1 ain't one to marry reckless like." is School Opening, On account of the changes in the heating system, the rooms in the Pub- lic hu Were not ready d for the Y opening on Sept, 1st, Bence the School will not open until Tuesday, Sept. 7th, when the Principal hopes that there will be afull attendance for the organization of the classes, The same may be requested for the High School for the classes there open on the same day, Now boys and girls, for faithful, persevering work for the fall term. tlreen River Champions. The semi-final game in the Ontario championship intermediate football series was played in Brussels between Green River and Brussels. The first goal was scored by the local team at the beginning of the seeoed half. No more goals were scored until time was caligd, leaving the game a tie on the round. The teams agreed to play 10 minutes to break the tie, resulting in a goal being scored by Geen River, The ball le said to have touched an outsider before being scored, and hast been protested. The referee was Brown Jackson of Seaforth, who allowed the game. 14otrnn:s Poli, SAY, . -I'1 n ttaw, two. story brick houses hi Wingham, for eaib, well situated and convenient.

Co, says regarding this year's wheat --"We find as a result of the tests made In our laboratory and baking department 'of over one hundred samples of new crop wheat, that the quality is the best we have had inmany years, both as respects strength and color. We believe that the total yield will approximate 115,- 000,000 bushels, More harvest Excursions. Harvest laborers are still scarce in. the West, The C. P. R. announces an excursion from all stations west of Toronto on. Sept. 7, and from all sta- tions east, on the 10th. But harves- ters are so much in demand, that an extra excursion is announced from this section of country, on Eriday, Sept. 3rd. There is short notice of this, but it is the urgent demand for harvesters that renders it necessary, With The Y. M. C. A. Last Thursday evening members and friends of the Y, M, C. A., to the number of about seventy, walked out to Mr, A, Kelly's to spend a few hours. With outside games, an impromptu program, and an enjoyable lunch, the time passed very quickly and pleasant- ly, The presence of a large number of young ladies addefl considerably to the enjoyment of the outing, and by all reports they enjoyed it as much as the young men. • Special Meeting.el .4 special meeting of Einron County Council was held in Clinton on Wed- nesday of last week, for the purpose of considering the question of guaran- teeing the debentures of Clinton for waterworks and sewerage system. It was thought that if this line of action was commenced, there wouldbe more to follow. When the motion was put only ten voted for it, hence it was defeated. This was the only business before the Council. Clinton must pay the costs of the session. BUTTER AND EOGs,-- Bring along your produce, Highest price, paid in exchange for Boots and Shoes. W. J. Greer, At Ninety Years. The Orangeville Banner reports the following :—Mr. Thos. Temple, care- taker of St. Andrew's Church, is celebrating his birthday. Mr. Temple, who is entering upon his 00th year, is the father of a family of nine, all of whom are living and in the enjoyment of good health. He has also twenty- two grand children and' sixteen great grand children, The old gentleman is hale and hearty, and it is very seldom indeed that he is unable to perform his usual round of duties. We Enter 37th Year. With this issue, the Advance enters the thirty-seventh year of its life. We have but little to say, except that we intend to follow the same path, and adhere to the same principles that have Iifted the paper into prominence and made it so popular with the pub- lic, "To do right" is our motto. Possibly, like others, we may not reach even our own ideals, but the editor enters another year with the good intentions. :We hope for the same kind patronage during the 37th year, that has been shown us in the past. To Can Tomatoes. .• Last summer I tried a, new method of canning tomatoes, and it proved so satisfactory that I want to pass it on. Scald and peel the tomatoes as usual, Have the cans sterilized, place the raw tomatoes in them whole, pour he boiling water to fill the cans, running a knife around in the cans, so that all the crevices are filled, then put on the cover. Place the cans in a boilor or large vessel, pour in boiling water till it reaches ach e es t h e neck of the can, put the lid on the boiler, wrap it with a blanket or rug, and leave nntil the water is cold, Which will be next morning. The cans are then ready tb put away. I did not lose a can out of forty quarts. When the cans were opened, the tomatoes were whole and firm enough to slice easily.—Woman's Home Companion for September. Rural Telephones.

The Company in Chingacousy Township, in feel County, Ontario, reports progress in their new venture in that line, There are now 400 subscribers, at a rate of $12, and when once this system has become established, it is expected that this rate will be reduced. Already, 25 utiles or so of poles have been erected, and 175 miles, all together, have been surveyed, There will be two train centers, Cheltenham and Brampton. The adjoiningjTownehip of Oaledon has already a publicly -owned system, and friendly relations will be eetablish- ed between the two.
