—The Republican nomination was
banded President Taft on a silver
plate. In view of three candidates
being in the field, it is not stated on
what kind of a plate the statement of
the result of the election will be
handed to him.
—There is friction between Ottawa
Council and the Provincial Board of
Health. With 700 cases of typhoid in
Ottawa, it is time there was some-
thing doing. That of itself ought to
make even a City Council get a move
on, without having to be poked up by
Provincial authozities.

heavy financial obligetions, hely and

have been killing each other for.

—Pinched again! Another rise in
the pace of gasoline—thirty cents
now. Does it not make you feel like
"30 cts.," when the monopoly gives
the screw an extra turn? The million-
aire monopolists care little about the
long-suffering public. Indeed, they
rather delight to see them Equirm, if
it makes the dollars roll in, with a
steadier and bigger stream.

—The decision of the Privy Cann-
el, settles the matter. When getting
married, you are under provincial
jurisdiction. When the ceremony is
over, you pass under Dominion super-
vision—that is if you want a divorce.
The province may see that the knot is
tied securely, but it will take the pow-
er of tbe whole Dominion to untie it.
Hence, be careful young people.

—The colored pugilist Johnson has
retired from business, that is—he will

Some people thought he was a fool to

der what his opinion is of those, who
contributed the fortune on which he
will now enjoy his leisure. Their
foolishness has enabled him to live at
ease, while they skirmish around for

—With dairy cows, autoiste. avi-
ators, and even hens striving to make
records, who can blame the railways?
The latest in freight train records is
that of August 1st. on the Lehigh
Valley Railway, when a train of 133
coal cars were distributed. The train
measured 7,000 feet in length, or over
a ;rale and a quarter. Three locomo-
tives, two in feont, one behind, moved
the long train. A train a mile and a
quarter long certainly has the re-
cord.

President Roosevelt and Governor
Johnston of California are likely to be

WINGHAM TOWN COUNCIL.
The regular monthly meeting of the
Town Council Was held on Monday
evening; all the member present.
The proceedings of July meeting
were confirmed.
The report of the Finance commit-
tee recommended the payment of the
general, the electric light, and Water-
works accounts, duly examined and
certified, On motion of Coun's Elliott
and Mills, the report was adopted.
Oa motion of Coun. Mills and
seconded, Wm. Guest will be paid for
drain on prairie, when the work was
completed.
Mr. Awde addressed the Council
asking permission to purchase a small
portion of Town property near the
Weigh Scales, for chopping mill, and
proposing to use electric power.
Council declined to sell, as the land
might be required for extension of
Fire Hall, or other town purpoees.
A Motion was presented to author-
ize the payment of the balance of D.
0. McDonald's and Wm. Guest's ac-
counts, left unpaid at the July meet-
ing, for ditching at the North end.
Conn. Mills seconded the motion, but
as the yeas and nays had been taken
on this at the last meeting and the
Councillors appeared not to have
changed their opinions, the motion
was not voted on. The majority of
the Council seemed to think the work
was to benefit private parties, hence
disclaimed responsibility. Of course
the men must be paid, but it looks as
if the Street committee would have
that pleaeure in this case.
Coun. Elliott reminded the Mayor
that the Western Foundry Co. was
expecting the money voted. The
Mayor thought that before money
was paid over, the Council, to avoid
naistakes, should meet and examine
the security. Accordingly, the Coun-
cil adjourned to meet at 9 a.m. on
Tuesday to go over the Works, ex-
amine the agreement and decide.
Council mat Tuesday morning and
visited the Foundry, •
Mr. Jos. Hall WAS appointed pound -
keeper for the Town.

Robt. Mooney is now comfortably
settled in his new shop, three doors
south of the old stand, in the building
he recently purchased, that was at
one time Wingham postoffice. Mr,
Mooney now has a good store and
commodious work -shop. He will be
pleased to meet his customers in the
new location—same side of the street,
three doors south.
Some Here Also.
Leonard Branton of Leamington
exhibited a curiosity in the form of a
potato vine similar to that shown the
Advance by A. M. Pralick." The tub-
ers instead of being underground are
growing direct from the stalks shave
ground, some of them a foot above.
Mr. Branton will await developments
of the remainder of the plant in the
hope that a new variety may be found
that will do away with the backach-
ing process of digging.
Death Of Miss Wilson
On August lst, there passed to rest
one of Wingharn's most esteemed
young women, Elizabeth Wileon,
Shaer St. For several years she
taught in Wingham Public School,
but for the past year bad been teach-
ing in the Burlington Public School.
At the close of the last term she re-
turned home feeling unwell, and in a
few days was forced to go to bed from
which she never arose, but slowly
sank from day to day in epite of all
that medical aid could do for her.
During the last few days of her illness,
she realized that her work here below
was about to end and she calmly re-
signed to await the end, with that
faith and patience which was one of
the marked features of her Christian
character. The end came peacefully
at 4 30 p.m., Thursday last, surround-
ed by all those most dear to her, to
whotn she left parting messages of
Christian cheer and hope, Her life
had been epent in a useful endeavour
to help those with whom she was
privileged to associate. Her absence
will be marked for many a long day
by a silent place in the day school, the
Sunday School and the chureh choir,
in all of which she was a faithful,
(Telef, but energetic worker, one gift-
ed with the truer and deeper con-
ceptions of life's duties and obligee
done, and a steadfastness of purpose
and patience to endure and to do.
The funeral took place front be
father's residence on Saturday, the
service being conducted by Rev. D.
Peale. As the parting hour catne,
one had but to witness the many
evidences of love and esteem that
were but too plainly seen; the many
dim eyes both in old and young alike
of Mende and teletives, and the silent
floral tributes, all spoke of the gent

WINGITAM, ONT., THURSDAY, AUGUST 8, 1912.
Try This Little Net
Boys and girls, here is a real pro-
blem; can yon solve it ? If a, bottle and
a cork together cost $1 05, and the
bottle vast $1 00 more than the cork,
how much did the latter cost alone ?
The Green Apple.
The New York Sun for the benefit
of its subscribers paid $1,000 for the
following prescription for cholera and
ditiarboea, :—Equal parts tincture rhu-
barb, cayenne, opium, ginger, spirits
camphor, essence of peppermint. Dose
one-lealf teaspoon in a little water
every three hours.
Presentations.
As two of the lady teachers of the
Methodist Sunday School recently
entered the matrimonial estate, the
teachers and officers thought it wise
to recognize their work by a pre-
sentation, Accorcliugly, last Sunday,
Mrs, John Helm (nee Miss I. Steinack-
er) was presented with a set of hilver
knives and forks, and Mrs, E. Flem-
ing (nee Miss L. Kew) was handed
a eat of silver spoons. Both appreciat-
ed the recognition and suitably ac-
knowledged the gifts.
Civic Holiday.
Fine weather favored Civic holiday,
and there was a great gathering at
the lakeside in Kincardine, The first
train of eleven coaches from Wing -
ham was crowded, and a few minutes
later a train of ten coaches all well
filled came in from the south. An en-
joyable day is reported, 'Winghatn's
excellent Band adding to the enjoy-
ment of the day. The next day, Prof.
Hicks' promised storm broke in earn-
est, and made the excursionists feel
happy to think that they had chosen
August 1st instead of 2oci. We judge
that the financial returns to the Sun-
day Schools will be satisfactory.
Money Found.
On Saturday last, Mr. Congram of
East Wa.watrosh found. on the Bel -
grave road, near Winghein, a coneid-
erable sum of money. There was no
name, nor the slightest indication as
to whom the wad belonged. After en-
qairy, Mr. Congrain on Tuesday left
advertisements to be inserted in the
local papers. I3efore the advts. ap-
peared however, it was ascertained
that the money belonged to Mr. John
Armstrong of Beigrave. It was for-
tunate that the big roll of bills ($990 )
fell into good and honest hands. Was
Mr. Armstrong glad to get his money
again safe? Well, he certainly was.
Pauline Johnson.
The Pauline Johnson Trust Fund
has been inauguarated for the pur-
pose of publishing an author's edition
of the worke of Miss Pauline Johnson,
Tekahionwake (who is well known
throughout Canada and Great Britain,
and whose Indian fathers were heroic
figures in the days of the Revolution
and ever the faitbfnl allies of Britain
in her wars on this continent.) The
hoc k is now olf the press and may be
hid for $2 00, autographed, by apply -
'g to Miss Johnson, care of the Bute
Sr. Hospital, Vancouver. Miss John-
son is dying in this hospital, and needs
the money very much. She has often
been in Wingham and some of our
citizens may wish to assist by pur-
chase of her book.
A Former Resident.
Mr. C. Taylor of Toronto, a resident
of Wingham twenty years ago, was a
recent visitor at the home of Mr, A.
Lloyd, and while here renewed ac-
rptaintances with many old friends.
Mr. Taylor is at present general super-
intendent of the Bishop Construction
Co. of Toronto and Montreal. He
finds many changes here, the large

forced concrete plante, factories, etc.,

gathered in Toronto on August 1st,
for inetruction, preparatory to coniruencing active work. Prof. Amyot
of the Provincial Laboratory inetruct-
ed the doctots in many subjects, point.
ing out the practical features. One
of the points eroptmized was the
great caution to be exercised under
the Provincial Beelth act in the
protection of the public against con-
taminated Water supplies, with the
el*. of Ottawa as an objeet leseon,
where over 700 cases are reported.

Bowlers Lost.
'Three rinks of Wingham Bowlers
went to Clinton by autos on Monday.
A, E, Porter's rink won from J. Tay-
lor's by one shot. Dudley Holmes'
four allowed Hovey's rink to defeat
them, by one. Then L. Kennedy's
rink, playing E. Curtis' turned the
scale by losing to the tune of fourteen
shots. Our Bowlers report a pleasant
time.
Brussels In Finals.
Oa Friday, Brussels fast W. F. A.
team sracceeded in working their way
into the finals by defeating the
Walkerton team 1-0. Brussels rush-
ed the Walkerton goal from the start
and in ten minutes notched tbe only
goal of the game. The play was fast,
but the defence of the Brussels team
was superb. McDonald at full-back
was the bright star. Brussels now
meets Preston in the final.
Twelve Grandparents.
The Smith Falls News says :—The
birth of Win. Everett Dulmage, Pic -
ton, has brought out a remarkable
instance of longevity in fatnilies of
which the month-old child is a mem-
ber. When the little fellow was born
he had seven grandmothers and five
grandfathers. He represented the
fifth generation on his mother's as
well as on his father's side of the
house. His great -great-grandmother
on his mother's side celebrated her
ninety-second birthday on July 3ed.
A Brother Deceased.
Mr. David Welsh returned recently
from attending the funeral of his
brother, Mr. John Welsh, of Moore-
field, who died very suddenly on July
25th. He bad been in poor health for
some thne, but not dangerously ill.
On the day referred to he had gone to
lie down after dinner as usual, and
while resting passed peacefully away.
He was 82 and one of a family
of seven brothers and six sisters, of
whom only four remain. He was for
over forty years, a member of the
Methodist Church, and enjoyed the
respect of the community in which he
lived. He leaves a family of six sons
and five daughters.

Tho matter under this head is supplied
by the Wingham W. 0. T. U.
If we would overcome the evil with-
in us and without us, we must sum-
mon the best energies of our mental
and moral nature, and put them un-
der the command of Christ, their is
victory sure.
The Wingham branch of the W. C.
T. U, held a very successful parlor
meeting in the 0. 0, F, hall Tuesday
evening, Jnly 1.0th, under the auspices
of the purity departments, when a
large and appreciative audience avail-
ed themselves of the pleasure of meet-
ing with and hearing an address given
by Mrs. Adjutant Rock of Montreal.
Her subject was purity, and her
advice to young girls to set a high
standard before them and to bave
high ideals, will not soon be forgotten
and cannot fail to result in much
good. She 'referred to the constant
round of pleasure followed by many
of our young people of the appalling
consequences that so much street -
walking at night Carries in its train,
and of the evils of bad companions.
She also gave good advice to mothers,
also to children in obedience to par-
ents, Mrs. Rock is able to talk in-
telligently along these lines being en-
gaged in this work in Montreal. A
dialogue by two of the members, and
a solo by Mrs. Law added much to
the profit and pleasure of the evening.
After partaking of refreshments, the
meeting elosed with prayer and all
felt that the time spent had been
pleasant and profitable.
The regular monthly meeting of the
W. O. Tf U. will be held in the 0.0. F,
hall on Tuesday afternoon, Aug. 13:
meeting to commence at 3 o'clock.
All members are requested to be
present.

The value of the old "penny" that
passed for two cents for some time,
was the subject discussion recently,
and Mr. Jos. Gibson, remembering the
old rule in Saagster's Arithmetic,
showed that it would take sixty
pennies to make the dollar. The old
rule was multiply the ponnds by 400,
the shillings by 20, and the farthings
in the given pence and farthings by 5
and divide this last product by 12.
The three results added will give the
value of the pounds, shillings and
pence in dollars and cents.

Let me be a little kinder,
Let me be a little blinder
To the faults of those about me,
Let inc praise a little more;
Let me be, when I am weary,
Just a little bit more cheery,
Let me serve a little better
Those that I am striving for.
Let roe be a little braver
When temptation bide me waver,
Let me strive a -little harder
To be all that I should be ;
Let the be a little meeker
With the brother that is weaker,
Let me think more of my neighbor
And a little less of me.
Let me be a little sweeter,
Make my life a bit completer,
Just by doing what I should do
Every minute of the day ;
Let me toil, without complaining
Not II b110.1b10 task disdaining,
Let me face the summons calmly
\Vhen death beckons inc away.

the fire chief and other offleiele, stat-

SOMETHING YOU SHOULD
KNOW ABOUT
OLIVE 011,
If you wanted to buy oak
lumber and the man delivered
yellow pine, you would know
the difference.
If you wanted to buy silk
and they sent calico, you would
"lave no trouble in seeing the
substitution.
It's not so,easy however with
"Olive Oil. Different so-called
Olive Oils look alike and taste
oily—but they don't act alike.
Just think this over fhe next
time you want Olive Oil. We
have no fake story about ,
buy-
ing it from an. "uncle Italy
but we have the Canadian Gov-
ernment report on the Oil we
sell. Moreover we have tested
it chemically ourselves.
"IT IS ABSOLUTELY PURE"
You can always depend on
getting a first-class article at this
store.
