The Wingham Advance
WINGH .M, ONT., THURSDAY, APRIL 18, 1912.
Balmy Spring ?
On Saturday, April 13, the mail
carrier between Walker's Point and
Gravenbttrst, skated with the mail
over Muskoka Lakes from Welker's
Point to Gravenhurst, covering the
distance of ten miles in 55 minutes.
Matrimonial Event.
A very quiet event took place at the
Pt'esbyterian !name, Toronto, on
Wednesday, April &•cl, at 7 30 p.m.,
when Mary, youngest daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. John Coulter of Wingham
was married to Leslie S. Bannister of
Toronto by Rev. Dr. McGillivray.
The bride was charmingly dressed in
ivory satin, trimmed with ball fringe
and Irish lace. Their many friends
join in wishing them a very happy
and prosperous life.
Enterprising.
The London Free Press has begun
the publication of a magazine section,
to be issued in connection with the
Free Press once a month. This will
involve an immense expense, and the
matter will be excellent literary char-
acter and will be illustrated. The Free
Press is to be complimented upon its
enterprise, and the first number of the
monthly is bright and interesting. It
will also he in keeping with the pro-
gressive ideas of Free Press to keep up
the magazine section to a high
standar d,
Potatoes This Year.
•
"Those who like to gamble will have
a chance this year with potatoes,"
says a writer in Rural NewYorker
"As we all know, prices are high this:
year, and I find meny farmers ready
to plunge into potato growing. Some
of them will break up their rotation,
cut out corn or wheat and plant a
double acreage to potatoes. In some
localities it seems like a sort of craze,
which as we all know, takes posses-
sion of people now and then. On the
other hand, I. know several large
potato growers who will cut out the
crop entirely this year. These men
figure that they should keep out of the
rush,"
Money In Seed.
A correspondent in the Canadian
Farm writes :—At Macdonald College
$500 worth of seed was marketed from
21 acres of land and an abundance of
choice seed left for the home sowing,
and no spacial effort to get it. Al-
most every farmer can obtain the
same results. The time to begin is
now. Sow clover seed on every acre
of clean land that was cultivated last
season and don't fail to sow •plenty of
good pure seed. Think of the differ-
ence—$500 worth to sell against pay-
ing out $25 or $50 for seed for your
present sowing, and •also think of the
acres more you would sow, if- you did
not have to hand out the hard cash.
Waiting For Land.
One hundred men are lined up at
the door of the land office at Leth-
bridge to file claims for homesteads
to be opened on May 1. Some have
been there for several days, and more
are constantly arriving. They are
camping in canvas awnings on the
sidewalk, and restauranteurs bring
them rneale. Citizens are compelling
sanitation. The Mayor will probably
have the City Engineer mark off the
walk in spaces one foot wide, and give
each man in order a lease good until
after May 1 on his 'foot of sidewalk,
-t` thus assuring each man bis turn with-
out waiting in line. 'One man near
the head of the line is confined to his
cot with rheumatism, but is holding
the place, tended by his wife.
Charged With Bigamy.
Duncan McLeod, a resident of Gode
rich for the last four years, was
arrested last week on a charge of
bigamy. It is alleged that in August
last a marriage ceremony was pre-
formed in Port iluroti between the
accused and awoman giving the
name of Clara Mcllwain. They went
to Port Huron from Goderich for the
purpose of having the knot tied. Re-
cords show that McLeod was previous-
ly married to Mary Aikenhead in
Detroit in December, 1008. As the
result, be is now being prosecuted by
Crown Attorney Seager on the above
charge. The evidence of the second
wife was taken its the preliminary
enquiry before Acting Mayor Reid on
Wednesday. The case was then ad-
journed until Friday afternoon, when
further evidence will be taken, Mc-
Leod was t•eleaeed on $500 bail, The
attention of the authorities was direct-
ed to the matter a week ago, when at
a meeting of the Goderich branch of
the Children's Aid Society ib was
learned that a young baby, g b by, scarcely
six months of age, had been in the
hospital for several weeks, it being
sent there by ra local doctor while in a
famished condition, When it grew
quite healthy again, the hospital
directors urged the soother to take it
away and care for it properly, but she
refused, claiming that her husband
would not allow the baby in his
house. 0. M. ItIlliott, the county
agent of the Children's Aid Soelety,
was given instructions to see that the
wastaken from s.

Grafting Wax.
Take four pounds of resin, two
pounds of beeswax, and one pound of
beef tallow, or instead of the tallow a
pint of linseed oil. This is the mix-
ture recommended by Prof. Crow of
the Ontario Agricultural College,
Really Great.
Who was or is the great woman in
all. history ? Two hundred school
teachers recently answered this ques-
tion, and with enthusiasm and unani-
mity the judges awarded the prize to
the one who made this reply. "The
wife of the•farnrer of rnoderate means
who does her own cooking, washing,
ironing, sewing, brings up a family of
boys and girls to be nseful members of
society, and finds time for intellectu-
al improvement.
A Great Record.
The Gazette, published. in Pike, New
York State, says :—What is probably
the world's record as a public singer
is held by Mrs, Geo. V. Johnston, who
for more than sixty-two years has
been soloist in the Presbyterian
Church. She has travelled a distance
of more than 40,000 miles in merely
going to and from her choir rehearsals
and church. services, while the actual
time she has spent in a choir seat
would amount to the equivalent of
one year and a half.
Time To Clean Up.
Citizens should now see that their
premises are in clean, neat looking
trim. The recent fire made a bad
break in the business part of the town,
but we hope toasec -block rebuilt
soon. In the eiineantime, the debris
now on the st eet does n rt' improve
the appearance f the main street of
the town, and sh tld bpi cleaned up
at once. Let every citizen do some-
thing, everfif it be only a little, to add
to the appearance of the street he
lives on, by looking well after his own
premises.
Twenty=Eight Musicill .
Next Saturday and Sunday will be
days of special interest in connection
with the Salvation Army, on account
of the corning of the Canadian Terri-
torial Staff. Band of 28 musicians. On

m., in the barracks ; 3 p.m.,'service of
praise in the Opera hall, Dr. R. C.
Redmond to preside ; 7 30 p.m., Sal-
vation demonstration in the Opera
hall. The public cordially invited.
The Quiet Days.
Business men, often say when busi-
ness has not been very brisk, "It has
been quiet to day." Do we ever stop
to think,' we wonder, how blest are
the quiet days,-- the days when
nothing happens ? There is no ill-
ness to give anxiety, no business
burdens or other troubles to disturb,
but, on the contrary, there is the de-
lightful consciousness that all is 11,11
in the home and before us the pro-
mise of a peaceful day, We l.uow
of no condition of life that brings
more pleasure or that should till the
heart more full of gratitud e than a
truly "quiet day."
A Clergyman Suicides.
On Monday morning, Rev. John
Gunne, rector of Wyoming Anglican
Church for twenty-seven years, and
one of the most highly esteemed and
best beloved of the clergy of Huron
Diocese, was found in his room about
the breakfast hour, dead from self-in-
flicted wound`s, The deceased clergy-
men had used a shotgun, His act was
the result of temporary insanity, The
whole community has been plunged in
grief by reason of the sad event. The
late Mr. Gunne had conducted services
in his church three times on Stfnday,
preaching in the evening another of a
series of sermons on heaven. Appar-
ently he was in his customary happy
frame of mind. Members of his family
say ho complained of a buzzing noise
in hie head, but nothing was thought
of this. He had not been in the best
of health for some time.
Boy Scouts' Concert.
The concert held on last Friday
evening under the auspices of Lord
Charles Beresford'e Own Canadian
Troop Boy Scouts surpassed anything
of this nature seen this season in
Wingham, The fine contralto voice of
Mies Foster gave mucli pleasure to all
those present, and the mirth -provok-
ing songs and Mr. ftobt. Wilson kept
the audience convulsed with laughter.
Miss Annie McKay of Toronto,
deserves praise for her work as accom-
panist for the two talented artists
mentioned above. Mr. J. 0. Smith ad-
dressed the audience on Scouting, and
the Scouts demonstrated their ability
in Signalling, both Morse and Sema-
phore, and also gave some examples of
first aid to the injured. A pleasing
feature of the evening was the presen-
tation to Scont George Bowman of "a
"Scroll of ltionoute" for life-saving,
The presentation was made by Mt. H.
G. Hammond of Toronto, Secretary of
the Ontario Council Boy Scouts, who
,
carne to • Wingham for the ur.I�ose,

A quiet matrimonial event took
place on Saturday last, in Dunn

Mt. Forest. Rev. W. D. Caswell per-
formed the ceremony, and after a

Judgment Rendered.
The Goderich Star reports the fol-
lowing :—Judgment for $75 and costs
was allowed William F. Dunnage,
hotel keeper, of Gorrie, by Mr.
Justice Britton, in an action entered
by him against Charles E Lepard, of
Wingham, charging neglect of specific
performance of contract. Lepard
agreed to lease the Exchange Hotel,
in Wingham, to Dulmage for a period
of five years, but refused to perform
the contract, alleging the understand-
ing that Dulmage was to pay a deposit
of $100 as evidence of good faith. Dul-
mage asked for $2,500 damages, and
the case, it will be remembered, was
tried in Goderich at the spring assizes
two weeks ago.

An Awful Disaster.
One of the most terrible disasters of
modern times in ocean records oc-
.curred early on Monday morning,
when the new, immense passenger
steamer, the Titanic struck an iceberg,
and six hours later went down with
over thirteen hundred passengers on
board. She had, all told, over 2000
pnscengers and crew, but the wireless
telegraph again proved its usefulness,
and other steamers though hundreds
of miles distant, basted to her rescue,
The Titanic was the latest and most
costly production of the ship -building
industry, and was on her first voyage.
She cost ten million dollars, and car
ried passengers whose wealth totalled
hundreds of millions of dollars.
The costly steamer, with all her ex-
pensive fittings, many of her long list
of wealthy passengers, her crew and
3500 bags of mail matter now lie at
ocean's bottom, two miles deep, away
down from human sight. See page 7
for particulars.

Just Think Of It.
No man bas ever traveled so far as
has bis own blood. The heart is
merely a hollow muscle consisting of
two pumps, one of which sends blood
to the lungs, the other pumping blood
through the tissues. The stream of
blood leaving the heart travels 621
feet a minute, seven miles an hour,
108 miles a day, 61,000 miles a year.
For the blood to make the entire
double circuit (better known as the
figure-eight Circuit) from . heart to
lungs, then back to the heart, thence
to the tissues and finally back to the
heat again, requires in the adult,
says bre. Latson, abaut twenty-three
seconds. In the smaller body, that of
a child, the circuit is made Hauch more
rapidly and the heart beats corre-
spondingly fast. For. instance at birth
the heart beats at about 138 to the
minute, and the blood makes its
entire figure-eight circuit in about
twelve seconds. At 3 years y t s old the
heart rate is 103, and the blood stream
retties its journey in about fifteen
seconds ; at 5 the pulse is eighty-eight
and the blood circuit requires eighteen
seconds.

Culross.
Culross will be a heavy loser on ac-
count of the flood. The bridge con. 6,
one and a quarter miles west of the
village was swept away as was also
the one on Clark's sideroad, The
bridge on the 10th con., known as
Day's bridge received a bad shaking
and one end is moved 15 feet around.
Numerous culverts were swept out.
It will cost the township a good many
hundred dollars to build the two new
bridges, repair the one displaced on
con. 10 and fill in the washouts over
the township. An incident in con-
nection with the flood. of which we
learned seems good to repeat in print.
As most of our readers know S. D. A.
A. Stobo of con, 6 gets his water for
house and stable use from a spring at
the corner across the river from his
farm and it is pumped up by means of
an hydraulic ram. These affairs cease
to work when the water gets too
high and this one stopped on Sunday.
As the bridge was down, Mr.•Stobo
had to foot it through the fields to
Teeswater and then back along con.
6. Going and returning ho covered a
distance of five utiles, where ordinarily
a walk of' 60 rods wonld have taken
him to the scene of damage. When
he got there he found that the bridge
had torn away the piping.—[Teeswater
