—Of all the games the game of life
is the greatest, and you may depend
upon it that the score is well kept
and the records are accurate, This
reminds me of the excellent advice
given by the Rev. Dr. Reisner, of
New York—the great baseball en-
thusiast, who said :—"Keep your mor-
al training as well as your physical
training, and, play the game of life
with the same thought of doing Leer
best ; and no matter what the score
will be at the end, the Great "Umpire
wJl rronounce you safe,"

—The Borden Government intends
to reintroduce the two bills, that were
killed last session by the Liberal ma-
jority in the Senate. One of these
was for assistance to the T. and N.
railway. The other, known as the
Highways Bill, which proposed the ex-
penditure of one million dollars for
the insprovement -of the public high.
ways, was also held up by the Senate
majority. Of this million dollars,
Ontario would have received over
$350,000. It is hoped that the Senate
will manifest more sense this time and
less partisan opposition.
* * *
—At the last session of thd Ontario
Legislature, a committee was appoint-
ed to revise the Assessment Act of the
province, with a view to its improve-
ment. Mr. A. H. Musgrove, member
for North Huron, is a member of that
committee, which is in session this
week in Toronto. The report of the
committee with recommendations will
be submitted to the Government and
a Bill embodying many suggested
changes may be looked for at the
. approaching session of the Legislature.
The Assessment Act certainly requires
revision, and the committee in charge
may be safely entrusted to consider
the necessary changes.

—Lord Roberts in appearance is
less of a soldier than perhaps any
great captain who ever set a squadron
in the field or commanded an army.
Exceedingly small of stature, and
with a face always wreathed in smiles,
he looks very unlike a great military
leader. Yet he is acknowledged to
be one of the greatest generals of the
age, many of his countrymen ranking
him above Lord Kitchener. Little
Bobs has just celebrated his eightieth
birthday, and is one of about three
dozen members of the House of Lords
who have passed the four score years.
Three of these are about 90, and a
number of others will be 80, before
1912 ends.
* * *
—With the armies of the victorious
B Akan States almost at the gates of
Constantinople, the Turkish Govern -
nista is asking for a cessation of
hostilities. The war, so far, has been
swift and decisive. If peace can now
be arranged, Turkish atrocities, in
Europe at least, should forever cease.
The Balkan States may not be ideal in
their standards of civilization and
morality, but they are far superior to
the Sultan's government, and condi-
tions in that sadly mis-ruled country
cannot be otherwise than improved,
when peace is established. "Observer"
writing in the Guelph Herald, very
properly says :—"The last sigh. of the
Turk will be heard amid the execra-
tions of Europe, for be brought to
Europe nothing but savagery, sensu-
ality and infinite misery to the human
race."

The Wingham Advance..
A PROFITABLE DAIRY HERD.
ht farmer in South Western Ontario
recently sent between fourteen and
fifteen hundred pounds of cream to a
creamery in one week, This would
yield him better than one hundred and
thirty dollars. He says that cows pay
him better than anything else, especi-
ally in the winter, as the price is then
at its highest. If this can be done in
one district why not in every one ?
It can, if the farmer is encouraged to
keep first-class cows. Up to the pres-
ent the farmers of this district have
bad no encouragement; but that is a
thing of the past.
The Wingham Creamery will be
running all winter. Get cows that
will be milking all winter, when you
have plenty of time to care for them.
properly. Keep your test above
twenty-five and patronize the Wing -
ham Creamery. The one that en-
courages the farmer. We are now
paying 31 cents per pound for butter
fat. If our waggon is not in your dis-
trict write us and we will make ar-
rangements to collect your cream.
THE REV. IRL R. HICKS 1913 ALMANAC
The Rev, Irl R. Hicks Almanac for
1913 is now ready. It is the most
splendid number of this popular Year
Book ever printed, Its value has been

fidence and support of all the people,

--"Fanfan" writing from New York
to the London Free Press reports at-
tending a conference on Mental Hy-
giene in that city. In many parts of
the world, the rapid increase of in-
sanity is leading to a study of- its
causes, and if these are correctly
ascertained, probably same measures
might be devised to stay the progress
of this mental disease—for disease it
has been found to be. It is an alarm-
ing fact that the insane in the *United
.States number more than the students
at all the colleges and universities;
worse still, the number is increasing
at the rate of six thousand each year.
In Canada, while the numbers are not
so large, the same malady is on the
increase, and institutions for the in-
sane are crowded almost to their
full capacity, and a similar alarming
ifterease in the patients is reported.
The situation calls for close investiga-
tion into the causes, and measures of
prevention, if possible.
IT'S YOU 1
You say the world looks gloomy
The skies are grim and gray;
The night has lost Its quiet—
you fear the coming day,
The world is what yo o make it.
The sky le gray or blue
Jost as your soul may paint it ;
It ain't the world—it's you.
Clear op the clouded vision,
Olean mat the foggy mind ;
The clouds are always passing,
And etioh is silver lined.
Th' world is what you np.ke it—
Then make It bright and trne.
And when you sly It's gloomy,
It ain't the world—it's you I

Brief Council Meeting.
There was a special Town Council
meeting on Thursday last to pass a
By-laws for issue of debentures for
Waterworks extension. Incidentally,
a large delegation waited. on the
Council asking for a light on one of
the darkest and most public corners
of the Town, the corner of Minnie and
John street. The Electric Light com-
mittee are considering the matter. -
Children's Md Society.
Huron County Children's Aid So-
ciety has had a successful year, highly
satisfactory reports being presented
at the annual meeting of the organiza-
tion recently. County Agent G. M,
Elliott reported that 17 children had.
been taken as wards during the year
in addition to eight for other societies,
Sixteen children, moreover, had been
replaced. A substantial balance was
reported by the treasurer, R. G.
Reynolds.
Bible Society.
Collectors for this worthy object are
now at work. It is needless to point
out that the British and Foreign Bible
Society is an organization of ' stupen,
dons achievement: Since its inceptir.
it has sent out 230 million copies of
the Its 1,100 colporteurs and
900 Bible women are ceaselessly at
work all over the world. What its
influence has been on the spread of
civilization can . hardly be estimated.
Viewed solely from the standpoint of
literature, the Bible is admittedly a
work of suprenie beauty, while the
effect of its moral teaching on the
masses of the people is of incalculable
value, aside altogether from the es-
sential spiritual consideration, Wing -
ham citizens contributed last year
over $2e0, and it is hoped to increase
this amount this year.

About Mortgages.
The following reply to a legal ques-
tion may be of interest to our read-
ers :—By a Dominion statute, pro-
vision is made for the payment of
mortgages after they have run five
years, no matter for what length of
time they were drawn. Three
months' interest must be tendered in
lieu of notice, and after that no fur-
tb.er interest shall be chargeable. The
mortgagee cannot be compelled to re-
ceive the money until it is due, but if
the tender of the money, and three
months' interest, is made, as above, no
further interest can be collected.
APPLES Fon SALE.— Any variety,
any price;, anywhere in Wingham ;

Favor Unity.
A circular has been issued to all the
clergymen of the Church of England
in Canada, urging that the principles
of Christian unity be recognized by
their church in some praetical form.
The circular is unofficial, but is signed
by many of the prominent clergymen
in the chureh, It suggests that legis -
Wien shall be sought in the Synods
which would allow Anglican °levy -
men to admit ministers of other der>
initiations into the pulpite, and which
would allow qualified members of
other ccontnutsions to communicate in
Anglican chorchee en omission. The
°treeles says that the moment is oriti-
cally opportune for action which will
bring about a closer relationship be-
tween the dwell of England and
other ehurches. The Lambeth Con-
ferenceof 1008 and the Synod of 1911
passed resolutions in favor of unity.
The Edinburgh Oonference of 1011,
steee the circular, was a trumpet call
to the whole church of God on be-
half of Christian, unity, and it adds
that In the report of the Commission
of Chords Malty it Was stetted that
the striking poWet of Protestant
'011urcthes in the tniosion field would

The Fair Thing
To Do.
Within iie past few weeks, The
Advance has improved its plant
at a cost of $500, in order to bet-
ter serve its patrons.
The Editor suggests to those
subscribers in arrears that it would
be an opportune time to show their
appreciation of their home paper
and its enterprise, by paying all
arrears at once and at flee same
time renewing for 1913. Honest-
ly now, would it not be the fair
thing to do, especially as the end
of the year is approaching ?
You need not wait (though some
do) for the Editor to go to the
expense of sending your account
through the rail. Not many like
to receive a "dun." That can be
avoided. Just try it this -time.

CHILDREN'S
SHOES
That the most serious and
lasting injuries to children's
feet are produced by poor
Shoes, is shown daily by the
ungainly walk ancl turned in
toes of many of the children
you meet.
Our Shoes for children are
shaped "true to nature" and
we are proud of our reputa-
tion es "Fitters of Feet" ; we -
make it a study.
We have Shoes to fit the
smallest infant and so on up
to the school girl, who wears
women's sizes with low heels.
Then our prices are less
than those usually asked at
most stored. for poorer grades.
