He says :-"The next twelve months will see some new record' in high prices for meats, ego and butter. The price for potatoes would go to $8 a barrel, if it were not for Melt and Belgian, imports, The cabbage crop is snort, and cabbages, lik,e artichokes, are becoming luxuries. * * * I I -The "Book-keeper" an American luagazioe in a leading article, acknow- ledges Canadate importance and pro- gress. Among other things it says :- "The industrial present of the Do- minion of Canaria is a fact; its indus- trial future is assured, Canada has a larger area than the United Statee, and the population and development of Canada are now somewhat parallel to the growth of the -Malted States in the days when Alexander Hamilton and his immediate successors were founding the fiscal system which has triumphed in the Federalism of Roose- velt and Taft." -Sugar and alcohol are now to be made in Canada from sawdust. In Toronto, last Thnrsday, a successful run was made. Col. J. 13. Miller, pre- sident of the Polson Ironworks Com- pany, and Prof. Wallace P. Cohoe are behind the seherne, which is be- lieved to have a big future before it. The glucose produced in the wood may be extracted by hot water and can be elevated to fermentation when yeast is added. The addition of yeast produces a high-grade alcohol. All that now can prevent cheap sugar and alcohol, is the fact that sawdust is scarce and timber dear. * * * -The correspondence between Taft and Roosevelt regarding reciprocity, has awakened considerable interest in England, especially Taft's statement, that "Reciprocity would. have made Canada an adjunct of the United States." The London (Eng) Daily Mail says "In returning on Sept. 21, 1911, 135 of 211 members pledged against reciprocity, we now know that Ca- nadians defeated a carefully laid plot against their integrity. Eng- lishmen will ask themselves what wrong the Beitieh Empire has done to the United States, that the American goverment should delib- erately set to work to plot the absorption of the splendid Dominion of which our nation is so proud. At hest it was an unfriendly act. Mr. Taft's letter proves how serious was the danger and how warmly we should congratulate the Canadian people on the insight and deter- mination which enabled them to escape it." * * * -In Canada and the United States, "Swat the fly" is becoming a rallying cry. In some places in the United States, a "Fly Day" has been fixed, when every household with a suitable weapon declares death to the disease - germ carrying fly. In Hamilton, On- tario, the Health officer has instituted a campaign, and the Mayor suggests that the Boy Scouts ought to engage in this warfare. Of course it is dna couraging after you have "swatted" for half an hour and sit down to rest, to find that the wretches are as thick as before. But console yourself with the thought that a scientist has figured out, that for every fly killed now, there will be a million less next ▪ August. Some person, who is fami- liar with the habits and manners of flies, states that a house -fly multiplies 120 times every two weeks, and the 120 continues to multiply in the same ratio. These statistics should stimu- late the "swatters" to exertion. The Washington Board of Health says "Swat the fly early, for one female fly, making her appearance as late as. April 10th, may be the ancestress of nine generations, totalling 7,600,000 descendants. To entertain all these would embarrass the most hospitable family." Dr. Hastings, Health officer for Toronto, has issued a pamphlet on the neceseity of suppressing the house- fly, and suggesting that bounties be offered to children for killing flies during May and June. To Young Men. Do not be afraid of work. If there is anything good in you, anything fine and proinising, woik will being it out. Talents do not as a rule, start up like ,* grass and wild -flowers do in the spring, obeying some magic, mysterious sure - mons. They are more like the grain which must be planted, watered, kept free from weeds, and watched inees. cantly until the titne of harvest. Cattle Are High, T. T. Field landed nine two-year old cattle in town on Tuesday, purchased from John Mustard of Morris, that coot him quite a pile of money, Though only two-year olds, the nine head cost $789 70, or an average of $87.75 tier head, So dear reader, if , meat is dear, do not imagine that the buteher iota it for nothing. 'What you pay for your steak and roast Is really not all profit. The butcher has to shell out a lot of money to get one tWo-year old beef. he Win 11 11, wgi 1 1 WINGHAM TOWN ••••••••••••••........1 m Mvance. wy,•••••••••...a....,.•}Pbr,•••......Pywal WINGITAM, ONT., THURSDAY, MAY 9, 1912.

Mills who has been a patient at the hospital for several weeks, The Salvation Army asked for a rebate of charges for Town hall -no action taken. A letter from Scott Gordon desired refund of share of business tax paid. The Omit will write Mr. Gordon, on the situation. Regarding the petition for the open- ing of a street from Water street to Bristol Terrace, Mr. McLean will sell the land necessary and fence it for $115. It was left with the Executive to deal with, the street to be opened after Mr. McLean's crop is off. Messrs. Maxwell & Greet* presented the case of Turnberry Ageicultural Society, asking for an increased grant. Turnberry Township gives a very small grant $15, Wawanosh $8, Morris $5. The Mayor thought that when the Fair gave farmers the opportunity of displaying their stock, these townships should not be so niggardly and ex- pect an over -burdened Town to put up the cash ; the grant was made $35.00. The Finance committee examined and reported in favor of payment of Electric Light accounts amounting to $1097 99, and Waterworks accounts of $819.41; also the following general fund accounts ;- 13e11 Telephone Co. account... 85 00 R Rankin. salary .............10 00 Elie.

On behalf of the Baseball League Mr. Sturt asked. assistance of the Council to put the diamond in con- dition for games. The Council will assiet to bear the expense, John Rogers complained of a leak in the dam that was injaving his gar- den ; the proper committee will examine and remedy the grievence. Mr. Sparliug addressed the Council. He was allowed $3 25 for use of his sleigh, There is also a dispute be- tween the committee and Mr. Spar - ling regarding the use of his derrick, etc. Be holds that the arrangement made with Mr. Young (Commission of 1911) was $L25 for each day. Chair- man VanStone claims that he con- firmed this arrangement with Mr. Snarling, but only for the days the machinery was in use. Mr. Sparling'e bill waa $115 20, and the Elec. Light and Water Committee passed $61,41. Mr. Sparlibg will endeavor to collect the full amount. Citizens using portions of the streets as if they were their own private pro- perty are notified to cease doing so. Assessor Griffin was paid his salary $125 and $5 postage, Council then adjourned. Strict Economy. A man, his wife, and twelve thild- ren were among the emigrants who just left Southampton for Canada. The Iran is an agricultural laborer and has succeeded in bringing up his large family on a weekly wage of 15 shil- lings, or about $3 75 of Canadian money. With meat away up high, and (seen potatoes over a dollar a bashel, that man has learned a lesaon, that will be usefel to him in Canada. The First Gatne. A meeting was held on Friday night and the schedule for the Town League was deafted.

Swarts, and especially his father, who has reached the advanced age of 01, feel keenly the visit of Death. De- ceased was in his Olst year, He leaves a wife and family, who reside in Toronto. Perpetual Snow, The coming of the Spring time and the disappearance of the snow re- minds the editor of this paper of scenes he has passed through, where the "eternal snow" may be seen all the year round. On the Denver and Rio Grande railway from Salt Lake City to Poeblo, may be witnessed some of the grandest scenery of the continent. The Royal Gorge, a can- yon of the Arkansas, is a miracle in rock, and a trip to the Rockies is scarcely complete without a view of the imcomprehensible scenes of the Grand Canyon, Fifty feet wide at the bottom, and but seventy feet at the top, thewalls of the canyon rise a sheer 3,000 feet above the level of the river that rushes and swirls in its narrow bed, From the crest of Fre- mont Pass may be seen the Mount of the Holy Cross, a snow-white banner of the Christian faith, and this "sign set in the heavens" is a symbol almost perfect. The cross is formed by two transverse canyons of immense depth, riven down and across the mountains, in these canyons lie eternal snow, thus forming the figure of the cross. Centre Huron Charges. The Ontario Government is cora- naended for its prompt action in con- nection with the charges made against License Board officials in Centre Huron. Tbe day the charge was re- ceived Mr. Saunders was appointed a commission er to in vestigate. M r. Saunders opened the enquiry on Monday, concluded on 'Wednesday, and presented his report to Hon. W. J. Hanna on the Minister's return from New York on Feiday with the following result ;-William Patterson, chairman of the Centre Huron Board Licenspe Commissioners, and Albert ANurth, the inspector, are to be re- moved from office as a result of the investigation, Wm. Patterson's re- signation has already been presented, and that of Aaquith, the inspector, will be asked for at once. Asquith's dismissal is the result of his own evi- dence, To the witness box he stated that F ar had attempted to bribe him, and when questioned, admitted that he bad not reported the incident to t he board, and had, in fact, recom- ne-nded that the hotelkeeper be given at. license. For this he was severely eeneured by the commissioner, who followed this up in his report to the Minister. It is not likely that any prosecutions will follow the investi- gation. It is considered that the evi- dence is of such a contradictory nature that prosecution could hardly suc- ceed. Death 01 Mrs. Wm. Moore. Many of our citizens were startled on Thursday morning to hear of the death of Mrs. Wm. Moore on Shuter street, for very few were aware that ehe had been ill. Her illness only lasted but a few days, developing into pneumonia, which resulted in her death early Thursday morning. Mrs. Moore had been an esteemed resident of Wingham for thirty-five yeers. Her maiden name was Lucinda Me - Donald ; she was born in Belleville, and later removed to Hay township, She was twice married; by her first marriage, she leaves one so, Wm. Blatchford of Wingbarn.

Victor Collins conducting the seta vice. The mambos of the fatuity are plunged in sorrow, but to none will the "%meek chale" cheats triore than to hitet who for 35 years shared with the deceased the joys and eoreowa of life, Striders sympathy is tendered the family.

The thanks of the students are given these gentlemen for their kind interest in their welfare. A few days ago Prof, Robert Laird, M. A., of Queen's 'University, King- ston, visited Principal Smith at the High School and gave the students a brief but inspiring addresu on "Educa- tion." Among other things he said, that it was a deplorable fact that Canadian students did not have the patience venich characterized the students of the old world, and were in great haste to push on tO the higher classes before the work of the junior classes was thoroughly mastered. While the average Canadian student was brighter than the average old- world student, the former lacked the thorough preparation which the latter possessed, and which meant so much in the attainment of ultimate suecess ill his chosen life -work.

Prof, Geo, Romano, one of the fore- tnost scientific men, of England, at one time imbued with the most ad- vance e volution views, in his last days wrote these striking words ; "The nature of Mall without God is thoroughly miserable. Some men are not conscious of the cause of their tnisery, yet they are miserable, For the most part they hide the tact from themselves by occupying their minds with business money -making, society, sport, and frivolity of all kin& ; at, if intellectually inclined. with science, art and literature. This is, however., to fill the soul with hoske. One may cheat himself for a while, but he soon finds he want e nobler food. There is no finality there to rest in, and al- ways, in the latekground stands disease and death. There is as vacunta in the soul which only God can fill."
