A. daily paper states that immense profits are being made from the whaling industry. This will cause the small boy to reflect that the best whaling he ever bad brought more soreness to his body than dollars to his pocket. • * * —As an example of how Canadian boys make their mark, we might mention the case of W. B. Scott, a Guelph boy, who recently was chosen President of the Southern Pacific Railway in Texas and Louieana. Mr. Scott started as an office boy in 1880 His successor as General Manager of the Union Pacific, rose from the posi- tion of telegrapher. * * * —Recently, the Ontario Govern- ment made arrangements and regu- lations for bilingual schools, so that every child shall have a knowledge of the English language. Now an Ottawa paper urges active resistance to the regulations of the Government, for the better education of the chil- dren, It is time this question of language was definitely and emphati- cally settled. This is Canada, and the English tongue is the language of the country. The future welfare of the people of Canada demands that its children be all taught the English language. It is hoped that the en- deavor to incite disturbance and re- sistance to Government regulations will utterly fail. * * * —"Saturday Night" of last week had a telling cartoon on the war scare situation. It depicted repre- sentatives of the British and German nations in the pugilistic ring and at- titude. They appeared. not desirous of attacking each other, but around them stood the war party, the jingo press, the manufacturers of shot, shell and cannon, all urging the principals to commence the encounter. To our mind, there is much truth in the (Atm - (Ilion depicted by the cartoon. So far as we can see, there is no reason why two civilized and nominally christian nations like Britain and Germany, should fly at each other to maim, kill, devastate, and leave thousands of widows and orphans. At times, it looks as if there were interested parties trying to work up a row. We trust that they will not succeed, but that peace may prevail. Why should the people of both nations suffer un- told calamity, because of a few inter- ested in making financial gain out of a cruel war. Those who would do so, and fill their pockets with the price of blood, should not be called "human," but classed with devils, * 11 —A. rcent writer in an agricultural journal, in referring to the tremend- ous cost of war, said :—"It alrnost takes one breath away to learn for the first time the proportion of their national income which modern nations are spending on armaments. Take the United States as an example. During the 30 years from 1879 to 1909, 71.1 per cent. of the nation's income, almost three dollars out of every four of revenue, was spent on the destruc- tive agencies of war, for the interest paid on the debts contracted for war- like purposes, and in pensions to the victims of war, the army of surviving economic inefficients created by war. Careful statisticians have estimated from bluebooks of Governments, that the world's annual armament bill is • nearly 2,300 millions and, when we add to this the annual interest charge on national debts, contracted because of past military expenditures, we get the colossal total of 8,100 millions, that must be paid every year before humanity can begin to buy houses and clothes and boots, and bread and but- ter, and milk and meat, and the other necessaries of life. Such figures ex- haust one's power to realize their numerical dimensions, but, it is not difficult to imagine that the world's annual armament hill must be a fear - fol drain on the resources of the peO- ple who pay the bilis. * * * —President Taft has appended his signature to the Panama Canal bill ; it Was expected that he would. The probability now is—that the matter will be referred to the Hague Peace Tribunal. There are those who be. lieve that the bi'l is only an election dodge to help the Repnblican party in the approaching Presidential election, and that after the election no more will be heard of it. With the better section of the American press calling for the honorable observance of the flay-Pauncefote treaty, it was hoped that better counsels would have pre- vailed. The Senate and President Taft have evidently pandered to that section of the Amerietin voters, that relish a slap at Britain at any time. Just now Taft's prospeets are any thing but bright, and everything that will help him in the extremity will be seized with eagerness, Many who conscientiously voted for Recipres. city are now beginning to ask there. eelves, what cortildente an really be plaeed in a Government that at as the VaiteciStatee has in their brezen disregard of e, treaty with another nation. The Rectiproeity agreement would no doubt have been kept just Ito long tta it milted the exigeneies Of their politician*, then it 'would have been east to the winds, and Canada loft in the tours Better Stand on our own feet, and Whose Where We stand. liVINGRAM, ONT., THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, 1912. TOWN COUNCIL. A Special meeting of the Town Council was held on Monday forenoon to consider the Western Foundry matter and general business ; members all present. GENERAL BUSINESS. A request was read from the Public School Board for $500, for installing a new boiler, the one now in use having been condemned. On motion of Couns. Elliott and McKibbon, the request was granted and debentures will be issued for the amount, Mr. Howson was present and asked the Council as to when the water would be required, as it would take some time to install machinery. He was informed that he might consider that he could use the water for this year at least ; matter left with W. W. committee to arrange. Conn. VanStone reported that the W. W. Committee had secured the advice of Engineer Bowman of Berlin. His report was then read to the Council, recommending direct con- nection. The water supply is abund- ant. THE FOUNDRY LOAN. The Mayor stated that he had ar- ranged with Architect Binning of Listowel to value the new buildings, and his report was read. His esti- mate of the buildings to be $17,000 ; he also reported the buildings well constructed and of good material ; no machinery was included in the esti- mate. The Western Foundry Co. is anxious to have the loan of $10,500 paid them, but there is a difference between the Co. and the Town, on ac- count of the Co. having erected its power plant on the old foundry site, and it is not included in the security, which the Council considers should be included. Mr. Holmes, solicitor for the Town, and Mr. Vanstone, solicitor for the Foundry were present and addressed the Council. Mr. Sinclair, Accountant for the Foundry, gave the following estimate of improvements on the new site :— Expended on building$20,990 17 " inaehinery 4.098 68 " " equipment 5;990 87 $31,679.72 A part of the equipment is not yet installed, but will be in a short time. A long discussion followed, and it was finally decided on motion of Coon's Bone and VanStone that a committee consisting of the Mayor, Couns. Bone and VanStone examine the invoices and report to the Council at an early date. BOWLING TOURNAMENT. Wingham Bowling Olub's annual Tournament was held on Monday and Tuesday of this week, and was very successful. The visiting teams enjoy ed their visit to our town, and on. Bowlers know how to extend gl .d welcome to their visitors, This e eek the space available will only allow brief reference to what proved to he interesting contests. After playing late Tuesdny evening only the Trophy match had been decided, which re - resulted thus :— Orangeville Clinton Robinson -21 Hoover -0 Ia the Association contest on Tues- day morning, the contest bad dwin- dled down to two rinks, a Wingbam rink, skipped by D. Holmes, and Bee- ter, skipped by Bawden. In the Consolation matches, on Tuesday morning, there were six rinks to play off, but at time of writ- ing, it is too wet to play. HIGH SCHOOL NOTES. (By IL S. Reporter) All new pupils are requested to bring their Entrance or Departmental Certificates with them. Those who are going to the Normal Schools are again reminded, that they must review their Junior or Lower School work. All who have rooms to let, are ask- ed to send their names to the Prin- cipal. Late Threshing. Mr. V. Butler, a farmer southeast of nigh River, Alberta, is now en- gaged in threshing wheat sown in 1910. The sheaves lay ou the field all Winter without even being stack- ed and are yielding thirty bushels to the acre. This crop has the unique record of being sown in 1010, cot in 1011 and threshed in 1012, The field consists of 800 acres. Pays To Spray. Mr. Oantelon of Clinton, known as the Apple King is a firm believer in spaying, more so to -day than ever. Recently. he said to The News -Record "I would like to drive yen out to see the orchard of Mr. john Medd of Hal- lett. He optaye and as the tomtit the fruit is high.clatis and abundant, Or Otte up and see my own otehard, There is 110 doubt whetetrer, that epteayirtg arid Cultivation will give Vsetly better fruit and more of it." A Good Cow. The Clifford Express says :—Here Is a record of a prolific cow, Mr. Albert 0. Tuck, of Minto, has a Holstein and Shorthorn cross cow which gave birth to a calf on last Dominion election day, 21st September, 1011, Then on August 10th, 1012, she was delivered of twin calves, All four are alive and doing well. The mother cow only ceased milking three weeks. Three calves in lese than eleven months is going some, and Mr. Tuck is proud of the cow and her progeny. Needless to say none of them are for sale. Would Have Pie. Because there was not enough pie in Calgary to feed one hundred and forty-eight laborers at once, a carload of harvest hands en route through recently, caused the disruption of C. P. R. schedules and the car in which they were being transported had to be sidetracked and held for a later train. Just before reaching Calgary at 6.40 p.m., the men demanded to be fed. A box of provisions was taken aboard, but seeing no pie, the men refused to go further until this was provided. Another box of provisions was secured aud the pie -hungry laborers were mol- lified. The car was held under guards in the yard until 3 a.rn., when it went West. What It Will Do. The Hydro -Electric Commission will on Wednesday of this week com- mence, in a practical way, its cam- paign to acquaint the farmers of the province with the many uses to which Hydro power can be devoted on the farm. The portable threshing and general demonstrating outfit left for Cookeville on Tuesday and the following day it began work on the farm of Mr. J. W. Might, thresh- ing his fall wheat crop. In addition to the threshing outfit there is also a complete equipment of dairy machin- ery, grain choppers, pumps, milking machines, washing and cooking ap- paratus and various other appliances for the house and the farm. To The West. Thirty-nine persons were ticketed front Wingbam by C. P. R. agent Beemer on Friday last for the Harvest excursion. They were :—Hugh Mc- Burney, Ethel Rogers, Ethel Fergu- son, Thos, Groves, Willie Lockhart, Leslie Taylor, Alvin Orvis, Albert Small, R. S. McBurney, John Burchill, Will. Burchill, Mrs. M. True, J.

Ontario Is Big. Few people realize what a tremen- dous province Ontario is, It extends nearly twelve hundred miles from east to west and over a thousand wiles from south to north. The northernmost point of Ontario is as far north of Toronto as New Orleans is south. Ontario is over three times the area of Great Britain and Ireland, is almost exactly twice as large as France, and is almost twice as large as the Empire of Germany. Inside of the territory of Ontario could be. got all six of the New England States— Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, - Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Con- necticut, the Empire state of New York, the great states of Pennsyl- vania, Michigan, Illinois and North and South Dakota, and yet room would be left for the State of New Jersey. Early Settler Gone. This week, we regret to report the death of Mrs. Perdue of Morris, for many years a respected resident of that township. She had been ill for over ten weeks, and 011 Sunday, 25th inst., she passed away. Mrs. Perdue's maiden memo was Catharine McOlel- land ; she was born in the county of Fermanagh, Ireland, in 1837, and over fifty years ago, came to Canada, set- tling in the township of Morris. Forty-seven years ago, 26th of last July, she was married to the late Henry Perdue. During their thirty- six years of married life, they toiled together successfully, building up a home and raising a dutiful family, un- til about eleven years ago, Mr. Per- due crossed the river. Mrs. Pardue was a fine type of a Christian woman, a faithful 'member of the Methodist Church, and devotedly attached to her family. Hers was an unselfishlife, and her chief thought was for others, and many and precious ate the memories her family will long retain. tier last illness was borne with great patience and resignation, Loved by her family and respected by the UAW monity, another of the early settleis has gone to her long home, Two sis- tete predeceased her, and a brother and slater are yet in the old land. Two daughters rethain, Mrs. It M. tiostnan of Morrie, and Mrs, Robb. Elston of North Dakota; there Is also one son, John, on the homestead.

A heavy thunderstorm raged all through Sunday night. The large barn of Mr. Kirby on the aed line of Morris was destroyed by the lightning. This was one of the largest barns in the township, 85x95. Several barns near Lucknow are also reported burned, Something Strange. Something a little out of the common was to be seen in, an orchard of Mrs. F. Loree, Belwood, during the past week. She has an apple tree that is not only well loaded with fruit at the present time, but also had a good showing of blos- soms on the same branches as ap- ples an inch in diameter. Overhanging Fruit. Regarding fruit on an overhanging tree, a recent enquiry brings in a daily paper the following reply :— "Owner of the tree has right to the fruit that hangs over neighbor's pro- perty, and he may go on that property to pick it up. But the neighbor also may exercise the right to cut off limbs that overhang his property or roots that came into it. But he must demand their removal before doing so. Better agree to share the fruit." Prom Grand Rapids. Mrs. Geo. Bremner, late of Belmore, writes from Grand Rapids, saying :— "While away ou an extended visit with friends in Grand Rapids, Mich., and enjoying many pleasant outings in this beautiful city, T find the Amer - cans a very friendly and progressive people, zealous in Church work. I have also met some kind friends from near Wingham, who have done well in this city. One of them came with his auto and treated me and my friends to a twenty-five mile auto ride 'through the beat parks and places of interest, all of which I have enjoyed very much, but I miss the Advance and news of my old friends and neigh- i bore. Kindly send to my address, 811 Oakland Avenue. • Died In Los Angeles.

A POPULAR SCHOOL. • It is freely admitted that among the High Grade Commercial Schools of Canada, the Wingham Btisiness College stands in the forefront. Iu point of attendance this college is only exceeded by three or four in Ontario.

A few months ago Mr. Spotton visited Business Colleges in Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo, Rochester, Syra- cuse, New York and Boston ; and with the knowledge of Business Science gained from his tour, he promises the most modern training that can be procured. Thousands of ambitious young people are studying entirely at home by means of the Horne Study Depart- ment, while they follow their regular work ; others are studying partly at home and will finish at College.
