—Scientists tell ua that Saturn being
870 millions of miles from the sun, the
year on that planet must be equal to
thirty of our years. Must be tedious
for the young ladies there to sit
around waiting for Leap year.

—Who would have thought it ! Just
when aviators have begun really to
enjoy flying through the air, now the
danger of a collision in mid-air looms
up to terrify them. A collision of
two air -ships actually occurred last
week in the atmosphere above France.
There is one comfort however to
wrecked aviators ; they may be toler-
ably sure of landing on terra firma,
unless the collision takes place over
the ocean.

Thursday, last witnessed another
Conservative victory. On that day,
the New Brunswick elections were
held, and the result was a complete
sweep of the field for the Conservative
Government of which Preinier Flem-
ming is the leader. The final i esults
are :—Conservatives, 46 ; Liberals, 2
We cannot suggest any improvement,
and the returns are quite Satis-

—Yes, it is a fact, that a big Town
Clock will ere long adorn the tower of
Winghnm's fine postoffice and customs
building.. Of course, it has been a
long time coming, but it really is
coming. Mr. Bowman, M. P. for East
Huron, has not been idle, and recent-
ly wrote to the Department of Public
-Works again on the matter. He is in
receipt of a letter, which informs him
that the order has been given to a
firm in the Old Land, and that as
soon as the Clock arrives, steps will
be taken to have it duly installed in
the tower of our public building.
With a good sewer system, water-
woiks, furniture factories, salt works,
glove works, and the big foundry
plant, and besides all this a Town
Clock, I tell you Wingham is Some
Town, and we want everybody to
know it. The editor of the Advance
was the first to suggest this Clock to
Dr. T. Chisholm, who at once asked to
have a sum placed in the estimates for
it. This was done, but the matter has
been delayed. Mr. Bowman has kept
it' before the Department of Public
Works, and the Clock is coning.

—The Postmaster -General intends
to push the matter of Rural Mail
delivery as rapidly as possible, Mr,
Bowman, M. P. for East Huron, ex-
pects to see the greater part of East
Huron covered within three or four
years. Of course everybody can not
have it at once ; it takes time, and
cots money. It is necessary to pe-
tition for it, and we believe meetings
are being held in Howick now, with a
view to securing delivery for that
fine township; not merely on present
mail routes, but on more general
lines.

—Those who heard Mr. Bowman,
M. P. for Esst Huron, on Friday last,
outline the work of last session must
have been convinced that the electors
made no mistake when they elected
him their representative. It is true,
he did not make long, windy speeches,
to get himself reported at length in
Hansard, but he did what was wiser
and more effective. He was always
on deck ; at coinmittee meetings,
where legislation is really made, he
• was on hand, getting posted on the
bills before the House, giving his
opinion when necessary. In doing
this, ho proved a more faithful and
efficient representative than he would
have been, had he been a dozen times
on his feet, making addresses measur-
ed by hours duration, simply to be
reported in Hansard. There are men
who do this, and their constituents,
are not one whit the better, or wiser
for their super -abundant loquacity.
Mr. Bowman took a wiser course, and
after his first session gives evidence of
possessing an intelligent grasp of pub-
lic questions, and a clear comprehen-
sion of his duty to his constituents.

—The contest for the Republican
nomination as President of the United
States, has been one of the most bitter
ever known, and more than that—
it has been a disgusting exhibition,
between two men, both of whom
might well be allowed to sit for ever
on back seate, and let wiser, better
men taketheir places. The lust for
nfi'Ice is strong in loth, and at this
distance, it looks as if it would be
wise for the Republicans to pitch both
of theta overboard, and choose a man
with less bombast and noise,
wafor as a
rule these are not characteristics of a
wise and safe ruler. From our stand-
point, we have nn use for that big
Taft chap, that tried to make Canada
"an adjunct" of the United States,
and "backyard to Chicago." As to
Roosevelt, he had his turn at the
helm, and we question if he can
"Goth
e back for another successful
toll). The Republican split ought to
be the Democratic opportunity, and
with Bryan at the bat, the none chap
aught to bit out welt and make a
home run this time. With all the
little sneers at Canada's relations to
Beltatn, that the United States press
hand out, our system of government
is better than Haat in vogue across the
line
Thi Allingham Pidvance.
Arm Broken.
Ethvin Baird, son of Mr. Baird of
the chopping mill met with an ac-
cident on Thursday last, Iie was
working at the test-wc1I, where they
are drilling, and was leaning on the
machinery when it started up un-
expectedly, and his left atm was bad-
ly broken near the elbow. The
accident will necessarily prevent the
young man from working for some
weeks.
Garden Party.
Whitechurch Presbyterian Church
will hold one of these pleasant social
events on the Manse lawn, on Wed-
nesday, July 3rd. Tea served from 6
to 8. A splendid programme of music
by Lucknow talent, addresses by A.
H. Musgrove M L.A. of Wingham and
J. G. Murdock of Lucknow. The Pipe
Band will furnish music. A very
enjoyable time is expected and cordial
invitation extended to all.
Sorry To Hear It.
Wingham has been comparatively
free from petty thieving, compared
with some towns. Hence we are
sorry to hear that recently there have
been a few cases. On Wednesday
night of last week, Mr. A. Cosens had
a rocking chair and sofa cushion stol-
en off his veranda. Two cushions
were taken. but in the haste to get
away, one was dropped. It is a most
unwise trick, this sneaking off articles
belonging to others, and eventually
the perpetrators are detected, and if
not prosecuted are despised.
Choral Society Concert.
Fi iday evening of this week is the
date selected for this conceit. As the
object of the Society is not to make
money, but educative along musical
lines, there should be every encour-
agement given it. To conduct a
Society of this kind however requires
an expenditure, hence funds are
necessary, and there should be a good
attendance on Friday evening. The
music rendered will amply repay those
who attend, and they will have the
satisfaction of knowing that they are
helping a worthy movement educa-
tive and uplifting in its tendency.
Inspector Busy.
On Thursday last, License Inspector
Oliver Johnson, of Centre Huron,
made a raid yesterday on the canteens
in connection with the military camp
at Goderich and seized a dray load of
beer which was being freely sold in
four canteens. 'On leaving the grounds
a gang of soldiers tried to interfere
with them and succeeded in getting
away with two of the kegs. The in-
spector was assisted by a constable
from Goderich. The officers of the
camp, apparently, had no control over
the men, and it was with difficulty
that the inspector got away from the
grounds, with the wet goods. Crown
Attorney Seager will prosecute the
cases. Colborne township. where the
camp is held, is under local option.
A Young Life Ended.
Death in any case brings sadness
and gloom. Especially is this the
case when the deceased is young,
just looking out hopefully through
life's opening doors. Such was the
case with Miss Eva May Cooper, sister
of Mrs. H. J. Marshall, of town, The
deceased young lady bad been ill for a
few weeks past, and on Saturday last
passed over the silent river. She had
entered her nineteenth year, and her
departure in the prime of her young
womanhood has caused sorrow to her
relatives, and the circle of her inti-
mate friends. Besides her parents,
who reside in S aaforth, she leaves six
sisters and two brothers. Deceased
was identified with the Methodist
Church. The funeral took place on
Monday from the residence of her
brother-in-law, Mr. Marshall, to Brus-
sels cemetery.
Died In Ottawa.
Mrs. Mooney received word on
Thursday of the death of her son
Charles M. of Ottawa. His brother
Robert left on Friday for the bereav-
ed home. The deceased was well
known in Wingham by the older citi-
zens, having moved here with his
parents, from Niagara Falls, when
three years of age. Ile learned the
operating with the late Chas. Wil-
liams, and for some years was opera-
tor at Stratford. From the Grand
Trunk he went to the 0. P. R. at Ot-
tawa. For the past 15 years, he resid-
ed at Laurentian View, Ottawa, where
he successfully conducted a vegetable
farm. Last February, he was taken
ill with stomach trouble, and a speci-
alist pronounced hie case hopeless.
Notwithstanding ng he suffered intense
nse
pain, be bore his sufferings with
Christian fortitude and waited pati-
ently for the Master's call, giving a
beautiful experience and expressing a
desire to meet all his loved ones be-
yond. Mr. Mooney was of a retiring
disposition, and was the happiest in
his own home. The news of his death
severe shock to his aged t
was a mo her
and other members of the family.
Besides his wife and four children, he
leaves his mother, Mrs. Mooney', his
sister, Mre, T. L, Jobb, and brother
Robert, all of Wingham, also Frank
of ilespeler and Geo. II. of Ripley,
Mrs, Thoa. Sparling of Saginaw, and
Mrs. James Sparling of Meaford. The
funeral took place in Ottawa on Sun-
day. He was 43 years of age.
WINGHAM, ONT., THURSDAY, JUNE 27, 1912.
A Legal Decision.
Cheques are frequently marked"in
full of account," Judge Bell of Chat-
ham, recently decided that a cheque
so marked, does not prevent the re-
ciplent from claiming more money,
if he can show that he is lawfully en-
titled to it.
Please Remember
That Monday next is a holiday.
Monday is the busy day for changing
ads., and as that is a holiday, we
must ask our advertisers to consider
the Situation and not expect too
much, for our staff will all be off
work. In the past, our advertisers
have been thoughtful, and no doubt
will in this case.
Entrance Examinations.
This examination was held last
week. Eighty-four candidates wrote
in Wingham, twenty-six in Wroxeter,
and sixteen in Fordwich, or 126 in all.
Results are expected to be made
public about July 8,11 or 10th. Should
any of the candidates desire to see the
correct solution of the arithmetic
questions, they may do so by calling
the Advance office. Answers to the
to the geography questions also.
Declining Sugar Market.
During the past months the sugar
market bas been in a peculiar condi-
tion. Abother drop is listed this
week. This is only what could be
expected under ordinary conditions.
The price is away ahead of last year,
and it is claimed by some that this is
the outcome of holding. It is figured
by many wholesalers, that the price
of the raw material does not warrant
the high cost of refined. The opinion
of one firm was expressed this way—
"Look out for another drop." Of
course this is mere speculation.
Baseball Game.
A good game was played on the
park on Friday evening, between
Wingham and Teeswater baseball
teams. The Wingham players were—
Stunt, catcher ; Telfer, pitcher ; Gil-
lespie, lst base ; Neely, 2nd base ;
Kerr, 3i d base ; Schaefer, short-stop ;
Tucker, right field ; Elliott, centre
field ; Knechtel, left field. Wingham
rolled up a score of six runs, while
their opponents only secured one
lonely run. Battery for the visitors
—Arscott and Good.
Howick. Council.
This Council met in Fordwich, June
19th ; all members present. Wm.
Corbett and Jas. Lynn were present
to ask for a wire fence on side line 15 ;
Council will look into the matter. J.
H. Johnston asked the Council to
grant a gold medal to the best baby at
Howick Fall Fair. Five dollars was
granted for the purpose. By-law No.
4, to raise money to build a new
school -house in S. S. No. 13 was read
the third time and passed. A number
of ace( unts were examined and paid,
and (council adjourned to meet in
Gorf le, on July 17th.
S:i,lden Death.
Very sudden indeed was the passing
of Mrs. Robt. Campbell, of Culross.
On the 13sh inst., she was out milking,
when she cried out as if in pain. Her
son-in-law, Mr. Taylor was near her,
and ran to her assistance, but she soon
expired. Her maiden name was Ellen
Ferguson, and her husband died in
1897. She was one of the early set-
tlers, having spent nearly all her life
in the township. She leaves two sons,
John M. of Saskatoon, and W. C. of
New Orleans ; also two daughters,
'Mrs, Bell and Mrs. Boates of Sask-
atoon. The brothers of the deceased
are J. 13. Ferguson (formerly Town
Clerk of Wingham), Wm. Ferguson of
Belrnore and J. J. of Moosomin ; one
sister also survives her, Mrs. McKen-
zie of Moosomin. Mrs. Campbell was
in her OSrh year she was a member
of the Anglican Church, and univer-
sally reepected. Her son, John M. of
Saskatoon arrived just after the fun-
eral, and returned on Thursday last.
Mr. John Hartley.
The Clinton New Era has the fol-
lowing in reference to the Principal of
the Model School in that town. As
Mr. Hartley has many friends in this
vicinity, it will bo of interest :—"It
was with - mingled feelings that the
people of Clinton heard, on Saturday,
of the appointment of Mr. John Hart-
ley to the position of Principal of the
New English French training school
at Vanleek Hill—feelings of gladness
that such an honor should be confer-
red on one so worthy of it and feelings
of sorrow that this appointment
would involve Mr. Hartley's departure
from town. The citizens at large will
regret this move as Mr. Hartley bas
been an excellent teacher and also
took a very active interest in Church
woik. Mr. Hartley was born in Hur-
on Co., in the township of Turnberry
and after passing his Entrance took
up his high School and Collegiate
work at Harriston and Owen Sound
and continued his
t zed tud es
t3 t at Toronto
Normal and at Hamilton Normal Col-
lege. Ile taught successfully at
Wroxeter Public School for flue years
and also Blyth Continuation class one
year and a half and has been with
Clinton Model School for 5 years. Mr.
Hartley will have the same rank as a
Principal of one of the Provincial
Normal schools, His salary Will be
$2,000 a year With yearly inereas.

Con., East Wawanosh on Tuesday
evening, 25th inst,, Wm. Marshall,
aged 70, Funeral on Friday, at 2 p.m.
Council Meeting.
As intimated last week, on account
of the Mayor's illness, the regular
meeting of Council has been postpon-
ed until July 8th. We are pleased to
bear that Mr, Spotton is progressing
nicely, the attack is proving not to be
severe, and it is hoped our Mayor will
soon be on his feet again.
Rabies In Huron.
Last week, we reported the case of
Reg. Sturdy of Goderich township
being bitten by a mad dog. Since
then, several cattle have died, and a
Dominion Inspector has pronounced
the cause to be rabies. The township
authorities have taken steps to secure
the safety of the public.
Lost A Child.
Many in Wingham will remember
Mr. and Mrs. Larson, of North Dako-
ta, who spent several months in
Wingham last year. Mrs. Larson is a
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mulvey of
town. On Friday last their daughter,
Genieve died, aged five years. She
was a bright little girl and will be mis-
sed in the home.
The Busy Bee.
Monseieur Cailles, a Frenchman of
science who has made a careful study
of bees, declares that to produce some-
what less than a half-pint of honey a
single bee must make over 12,000
trips. His calculations are based on
the cubic capacity of a section of a
hive, the average length of the jour-
ney that abee makes, the normal load
carried on each trip, and other facts.
Monsieur Cailles says that in the
height of the season, the workers of a
hive together, travel every day an
aggregate distance twice as great as
the distance from the earth to the
moon,
A Successful Effort.
Success crowned the efforts of the
young people of St. Paul's Church A.
Y. P. A. on Thursday. The weather,
though a little cool, was very fine, and
a large company gathered on the
spacious lawn of Dr. Tamlyn, who
spared no effort to make the visitors
feel at home. The Citizens' Band
furnished good music in abundance,
and there was a brief but interesting
programme of addresses and music.
The booths supplied refreshments, and
were well patronized. We under-
stand that the gross receipts ran up in
the neighborhood of $100, which will
be devoted to the interests of the
Society.
Brave Little Girl.
The brave act of a little four year
old girl is reported by the Lucknow
Sentinel thus : "On Monday, Dorothy,
the two year old daughter of R. T.
Douglas, and her sister Marjory, aged
four, were playing on the river bank
near the mill race. Reaching into the
water, which was there about five feet
deep, to catch a fish, Dorothy lost her
balance and fell in. Seeing the dang-
er, Marjory, instead of running away,
seized her sister by the hair and suc-
ceeded in pulling her out. When the
children reached home, Marjory's
hands were full of hair from her
sister's head, showing that she must
have used unusual strength in effect-
ing the rescue.
Canning Rhubarb.
Wash it, cut into inch pieces, put in
a preserving kettle, and let it come to
a good boil all through, without a par-
ticle of sugar. It will keep perfectly.
When you wish to open it for use,
take one cupful of sugar for a pie, and
it will be like the fresh pie plant. For
a small family, the pint cans are much
better for any fruit. If you wish to
put it away uncooked, you can do so
as follows :—Wash, peel, cut into inch
cubes and fill compactly into glass jar,
theu pour slowly into the jar good
fresh water to overflowing. Adjust
rubber, screw on the top and set away
in a cool place until morning. Then
if there be any air bubbles, tap the
side of the jar, fill again to the brim
with water and screw on cover tight-
ly. If tops and rubbers are perfect
the rhubarb will keep until used.
Pretty June Wedding.
"Spring Creek Farm," the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. M. Anderson,
was the scene of a very pretty wed-
ding on Wednesday, June 26th, when
their eldest daughter, Tessa May, was
united in marriege to Herbert Shiell
of East Wawanosh, The ceremony
was performed at five p.m., by Rev,
Dr. Rutledge, the wedding march
being played by Miss Margaret Shiell,
sister of theroom. The bride, who
g ,
way given away by her father looked
charming in a dress of cream brocaded
voile, trimmed with pearl fringe over
ceeam taffeta, She carried a boquet
of bridal roses, and ferns. The groonm's
gift to the bride was a parlor cabinet
and to the organist, a brooch set with
pearls. The guests, numbering about
thirty, enjoyed a sumptuous repast,
and the evening was spent in music
and singing. The presents
were num-
erous
-
erous
and costly, and testified to the
popularity of the bride and groom.
Mr. and Mre. Shiell will reside at the
borne of the groom "Maple Leaf
Farm," batt W areanosh,
Struck Water.
On Tuesday, a fine flow of water
was struck at the second test well at
a depth of 250 feet. The two wells are
flowing at the rate of 100,000 gallons
in 21 hours, or twice as much as
Wingham consumes. The Council
promise domestic water this fall.

On Thursday, June 20th, there pas-
sed away after four days' illness, one
well known in this section of country,
Eliza Greenaway, relict of the late
John Hall. Deceased spent her early
days in the township of Garafraxa.
About fifty years ago, she was marri-
ed to the late John Hall, and after
spending a few years in Pittsburg,
they came with their children to Bel -
more, where they lived until four
years ago, when she went to live with
her daughter in Detroit. She is sur-
vived by one daughter, Mrs. Zim-
merman, and four sons—Dr. J. S. of

Mr. James Bowman, M. P. for East
Eluron was present, and succinctly
outlined, in an intelligent manner, the
work of the past session of Parlia-
ment. It is evident that Mr. Bowman
did not play the part of an idle spec-
tator. He showed by his excellent ad-
dress, that he had given the work of
the session careful thought. He dealt
with the Manitoba boundary settle-
ment, the good roads' legislation, ex-
penditure, its increases and what
caused them, viz legacies left us by
the late government.
Mr, Musgrove, M. L. A. for North
Huron, followed in his usual able
manner. He reviewed the work of
the Legislature, and in a brief, but
able address outlined conditions, and
how the Whitney Government was
so successfully meeting those condi-
tions. Mr. Musgrove has been en-
deavoring for some tithe to have locat-
ed in the riding, an Agricultural etex-
s
r who would be at the service e of
the farrnere, in the way of diffusing
information, and he has the promise
of the Department that one will be
appointed next year. In Mr. Moe -
grove, and
ov Northtiro
gr e,H n ha p
as c
efficient representative.
Brief addresses followed front Mee -
ars, M,Lockhart, P'.W.S ,'V�.

the Convention closed,
Making ice Cream Now.
The Wm. Davies' Co. began making
Ice Cream in large quantities at their
Wingham Creamery, on Tuesday. It
is likely to be good, but as no sample
has been sent this office for the
editor's inspection and approval,
he cannot speak from actual ex-
perience. The industry the firm has
established is developing nicely.
Church 'Hews
Rev. Mr. Cameron of Brussels and
Rev, E. H. Crholy exchanged pulpits
on Sunday last,
Maitland Presbytery met in Wing -
ham on Tuesday and sustained the
call to Wroxeter of Rev. T. W. Wes-
ley, of Sunderland.
Capt. and Mrs. Boynton bade fare-
well to their Wingham comrades on
Sunday last, and left this week for
their new field of labor at Petrolea.
The new officer is Capt. Pugmire.
Tabulated figures show that more
than 252 million dollars was contri-
buted by America last year for philan-
thropic purposes. One hundred miI-
lions of this was given for religious
work using that term to include all
gifts to charities supported by funds
secured in the churches. Fifty-one
millions of this went to missions.
Five leading Protesant denomina-
tions in Chicago have a co-operative
plan in church extension, which marks
a long step in advance. In Evangeliz-
ing the immigrants, new work is
divided among the denominations,
The Persians have been committed to
the care of the Presbyterians ; the
Hungarians divided between the
Baptists and the Methodists. While
all the denominations work among the
Bohemians, special efforts have been
recently made to prevent overlap-
ping.
Gen. Booth, of the Salvation Army,
is now or is likely to be totally blind
for the rest of his Iife. At his ad-
vanced age, after a consecrated ser-
vice extending over many years, it
must be a severe trial to be deprived
of sight. Yet, he does not repine nor
murmur. One cannot but admire the
sweet spirit of patient resignation, as
indicated by the following extract
from hie message to his comrades :—
"Pile up all my losses, they are
many and serious, I admit ; but look
at the mercies left ! First, there is
my confidence in God. I am not go-
ing to allow the existence of a few
things which are in conflict with my
judgment to interfere with niy con-
fidence in His wisdom—confidence
that is inspired by a lifelong know-
ledge of His loving care. Then, I
have not lost the assurranceof my
own happy relatione with my
Heavenly Father. I have not lost
the confidence and love of my own
dear people. I have not lost the
inestimable blessing of life. In a
few weeks' time I hope to be found
once more on the battlefield. Any-
way my dear comrades, in the light
or in the dark, you may count upon
your General to trust in God and go
forward !"—William Booth.
Next Sunday Mr. W. L. Clark, one
of Canada's successful business men
will speak morning and evening in
the Methodist Church, under the
auspices of the Temperance and Moral
Reform movement. M. Clark's mes-
sage is especially to young people.
Service at 11 a.m,, subject—"To-day's
man ; Yesterday's boy." Evening, 7
o'clock, "Our work and its successes."
