BOOSTING KRON COUNTY.
The Cestedy Council Grants $1500 To
Md The Work.
••••••.•,•,•,•••••••
The Executive of Huron Publicity
Association met in Goclerich last
week, and appeared before the County
Council, asking a grant in aid of the
proposed Publicity campaign. The
report of the Secretary WAS presented,
and the rcquest supported by the
Pvesiclent, Mayor Greig, of Seaforth ;
reeve, John, Leckie, vicepresident ;
Mayor Spotton of Wingharn, and the
secretary, James Mitchell of Gorlerich,
Several members of the County
Couneil expressed hearty approval Of
the proposal, but two or three others,
while not opposed to the necessity of
doing something to help the County,
expressed, themselves as still not
satisfied that this scheme was the
best, or claimed that faller details
should be laid before the Council,
A vote was finally readied about
480 p.m., when the following motion
carried by the vote of 19-12.
"That this Council grant the sum of
$1500 to aid in starting a Publicity
Campaign for the County of Huron,
as outlined by the committee appoint-
ed for that purpose, and that said
amount shall remain in the treasury,
rtul shall be paid out by the treasurer
only on the certificate of the preeident,
vice-president or treasurer of the
association, accounts for the same to
be placed in the hands of the Council
at each session."
The Goderich Star reports as fol-
lows :-The Executive committee met
in the Court House on Wednesday
evening, all the members being pre-
sent except Ur. Ransford, who was
away from home, and could not at-
tend.
An outline of the subjects to be
dealt with in the proposed booklet on
the .County, was drawn up and Ar-
rangements inaugurated for collecting
the necessary information and com-
piling it. These subjects are divided
into sets of three classes each, which
are to be written up by sub commit-
tees of three, who have power to in-
cur reasonable expense which will
help in making their write-up as com-
plete and authoritative as. possible.,
Another meeting of the whole Exe-
cutive will be held at Clinton *early in
January, when it is hoped to have
the pamphlet fully compiled and
revised and ready for publication.
Another publication will be a classi-
fied and complete list of farm pro-
perties for sale in the County, which
will be published free of charge, the
only requirement being that -any one
having a farm they want to sell shall
send to the Secretary or any member
of the Executive the particulars of
same,
The movement to "Boost Old Huron
Connty" is now fully launched and
we predict that the beginning of 1914
will show that the effort has justified
itself in the results accomplished.
EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.
-In times of fuel scarcity it. is
pleasing to read that the Dominion
Mines Branch announce that the
Associated Manufacturers of Brant-
ford, have become so convinced that
air-dried peat can be made a cow-
Mercial success, that they have con-
tracted to continue The work at
Alfred, Oet., and will spend $50,000 to
farther equip the plant. The product
will burn in parlor grates, ranges and
furnaces, leaving very little waste
matter. Canada has abundance of
peat material.

-The announcement of the Govern-
ment's naval policy on Thursday last
by Premier Borden was important
not only as a prominent feature of
government policy but on account of
the empire -wide effeet. The saneness
and popularity of the announcement
vvas evidenced by the outburst of
patriotism in the House of Oonunons
at the eonelusion of Premier Borden's
speech, when in addition to cheers,
the entire House (with one exception)
rose to sing Rule 13rita,noia and the
National A.nthem, In brief, the
poliey contemplates the gift to Great
:Britain of thirty-five milliOn dollars to
build and equip three of the latest and
be Dreadnoughts that can be de-
vised. Should Canada decide in the
fetnre to maintain a navy at her own
expense, these vessels may be with-
drawn and become pat of the Cana-
diati natlA representetive of the
Canadian Govetnment will have pies*
on the Imperial Defence committee,
The Advance regrets that at this
period of the Christian era, it still
seems neoessary to be prepared for
war at suth immense expense, but
under the circumstances, it Is nothing
but right that Canada should recognize
her duty and acknowledge the benefit
of Britieb proteetion, The time will

Maple Syrup In December.
•A friend of the Advance, not far
from Wingham brought the editor a
glass jar of maple syrup made last
week. Maple syrup made in Decem-
ber is a little out of.season, but we Can
vouch for its excellent quality. ,Out
of real modesty the donor did not
wish his name mentioned.
Dissolution Sale.
The firm of Kerr & Bird propose to
dissolve partnership, ad on Monday
next will commence • a Dissolution
Sale, We underetand that Ma Bird
withdraws from the business, and for
the next two weeks, big bargains are
offered, as tbe change takes place at
the end of the year. See the &Mee
space this week for announcement.
The Christmas Tree.
The Christmas tree is supposed to
date from long before the christian
era, instead of from comparatively
recent times in Germany, as is cone-
rnonly thoaght. It is said that at
festivals to celebrate the winter sol-
stice in ancient Egypt a palm tree was
used as a symbol of the completion of
the year. The palm tree was eaid to
put out a spray a month, and the
tree used at Ruch celebrations must
have twelve shoots or branches to
typify the year that had just come to
an end.
Well To Know It.
The Lucknow Sentinel reports the
following :-Too late to save the situ-
ation a few farmers have discovered
what they believe to. be a preventa-
tive of potato rot. It is nothing more
or less than a spray of bluestone.
One farmer toward Langside sprayed
part of his potato plants with paris
green, and the other part with the
bluestone, On the former part of the
patch the potatoes rotted, badly. On
the latter they turned out sound and
wholesome. The bluestohe is said to
enter the stalks and work downward
into the tuber, acting as a kind if
antiseptic.
Election Of Officers.
The annual meeting of L, 0, L. No.
794. was held *on Friday evening for
the election of °Indere, closing a most
successful year. There was a large
attendance, and the following were
elected :-Wor. Master - Allan M.
Fralick, past Master J. W. McKib-
bow retiring; Deputy -Master, J. C.
Smith; Rec.-Sec., W. B. Elliott; Fin. -
Sec., Wm. Deyell ; Treasurer, John
F. Groves; Dir. of Ceremonies, Roy
Stephenson; Lecturer, Wm, Guest;
Committeemen, W. Salter, A. Young,
R. D. Mason, W. J. Greer, W. J.
Sturdy. Past Master, W. 3, Greer
installed the new officers. Brief ad-
dresses followed. and refreshments
were served thus closing a very suc-
cessful and most enjoyable evening.
No. 794 was never in a more pros-
perous condition.
A PROBLEM IN COWS.
Oa every farm there are pre& leally
three classes of cows. First, those
that do not pay for their feed and the
labour of taking care of them. Second
those that jutt pay their way, and last
those that are profitable cows, and
pay more thad their expenses, thus
giving you some -encouragement for
keeping them. From the farmer's
point of view there should only be one
class of cows, the one that paye divi-
dend over expenses. Take the cow
that produces three hundred pounds
of butter per year, At twenty cents
per pound, this would bring sixty dol-
lars, Let this sixty dollars be interest
on your outlay. at six per cent. The
outlay would* be One thousand dollars.
Then take the cow producing six bun.
deal pounds of butter per year, the
outlay should be double that of the
first tows as the production is double,
or two thousand dollars por year.
Now answer a fewequestions honestly.
We will say the first cow is a poor
oow and the latter a good COW. DIMS
it take twice as much to feed the goo&
cow as it does the poor tine Every-
thing goes to prove the opposite is
mote often the ease. Again, does it
take twice as much time to attend to
the good cow as the poor One? Every-
thing and everybody says "NO."
What is the result 2 Only that the
difference in the production is clear

you have shared in the sacred joys
and sorrows of every family and in
times of trouble as well as of rejoicing
your part was never a merely formal
one, but one of real help and self -for-
getfulness. Your influence in the
lives of the people cannot be measur-
ed, but what you have done for the
&droll is attested by the large in-
crease in its membership, the widen-
ing of its activities and the more gen-
eral part taken by the people in its

is shown by the new church edifice
and improvements to church pro-

gation you won their loyality by your
ever -ready sympathy with their ideas,
and your guidance was always soften-
ed by patience and pleasantness, while

wish you happiness and peace and
that -spiritual reward that is bestowed
upon the life of Christian setvice.
