Hie rforte were gocceesful and the thousand -of policy holders ihi thin tompany owe him a 4ebt of gratitode. t Liberal papers are charging the First Lord of the Admiralty with torning sonsersaolt on the naval question as affseting the overseas *Dominions and more particolarly Oessada.

Recently, representatives of 'an agency' went about the Isle of Malta and with tales of the Canadian Eldorado, where they could become wealthy in a night, induced seven hundred souls to embark ; these land- ed in Toronto the last week of Jute but found no representatives of 'the agency"' and no employers with out- stretched arms. Four hundred of these have not yet found employ- ment. Such 4agente' besmirch the fair name of Canada and the Immi- gration Department should bring all such to swift justice. One contented happy immigrant visiting friends in the home land, is better than tons of advertising literature. Why this haste to fill Canada to overflowing with peoples of every nation ? Can we not profit by history and guard against all the problems of poverty and vice from overcrowding. Let Canada keep some of her fertile land for .generations yet unborn. Let her not forget the descendants of the early pioneors, who have made this land what it is. Let her make haste slowly and profit by the history of the 'old lands.' *. * —The old Liberal contention that "Canada owes nothing to England" had, to d� originally with the naval defence question pure and simple. It has recently been made to embrace every conceivable point upon which the plain duty of Canada is acknow- ledged by all right thinking men to rest. Canadian financiers are corning back from London with the news that the Liberal action in killing the naval aid bill has greatly injured the position - of Canada from a borrowing stand- point., treat Britain has for years provided Canada with Capital for great works of development. And Great Britain has not only provided this capital, but provided it on nore generous terms than she has accorded to any other borrower. Sentiment has led the British people to supply their own fellow -subjects over -sea with money at least one per cent. cheaper than foreign countries, and Sir Edgar Speyer calculated recently that the annual interest saving to the Dominions and Dependencies is at least 410,000,000, a very handsome preference. In other words for the same payments of interest these countries have been able to raise 4250,000,000 additional capital. More- over, to the detriment, be it said of Consols, Great Britain has added to her list of Trustee stocks about £050,- 000,000 of Colonial and Indian stocks and thus enabled the Dominion, Pro- vincial and State Governments of the Empire to raise money -eon far more favourable terms than would other- wise have been possible. When ques- tions are raised to the return which Great Britain gives to the trade prc- ferences of the Dominions, the e» ormous advantages the latter gain le the preferential treatment of tl, ir issues, both by the people and the government of Great Britain, should not be forgotten, If some great con- vulsion checks the flaw of capital from Great Britain no other lender will be found from whom such terms can be obtained. . ."......eekeestealli WINGRAM, ONT., THURSDAY, JULY 24, 1913.

Editor Advance, Sin—Might I call the attention of the public and your Town Chief (as you may call him) to the disgraceful noise that is made by children on Fri- day evening during the band concert in your park here in Wingham. I, as a music lover think something could be clone to prevent this. I am a stranger in town, and during my stay in Wingham 1 never witnessed such rude behaviour. The Wingham Band deserves great credit for their per- formance and, splendid talent display- ed by them every Friday evening, and I think also that the public who listen to each selection should applaud them at the end of each selection. May the Wingham Band men live to see their Band win the highest hon. or of the day. Hoping some steps will be taken to stop the awful annoyances at the park and thanking you for your valuable space. 1 remain yours truly, A son of the Emerald Isle Youthful Traveller. Master Jack Stanley of Jersey City is visiting his aunt Mrs. Jas. Gaunt of Lower Town. Jack is only twelve years old, yet, he travelled that great distance alone and made no mistakes. 111 Hospital Donations.

Mrs. Elizabeth Bloomfield, with her late husband, Robert Bloomfield move - ed. to the Township of Morris fifty four years ago and nine years ago took up residence in Wingham. This week she left Wingham to spend her remaining days with relatives near Clinton. Mrs. Bloomfield was one of Wingham'a most respected citizens and the Ad- vance with her host of friends wish her every comfort and. happiness in her declining yeare. Wingham Pioneer Gone. Again the pale rider has been in our midst and it is our duty to chronicle the death of one of Ontario's oldest pioneers, in the person of the late Duncan McKinley. Mr. McKinley was born in Camel, Argylesshire, Scotland in 1835 and at the age of 1 year immigrated with his father Don- ald McKinley and settled in the town- ship of Lobo near London, Ont, When quite a young man, be learnt his trade as carpenter, working at this, also contracting and bridge building. He built the bridges on the Grand Trunk between London and Wincharn, as well as in many other sections of Canada and United States. About 30 years ago, owing to ill health, he re- tired to Wingham where he has been one of `our most respected citizenae and was beloved by all who knew him. In religion he was a Presbyterian and in politics a Liberal. A widow, one son, James D. who is in the employ of the C. N. R. and Miss Jean at home, remain to meern the loss of a loving husband and a kind and affectionate father. The sympathy of the com- munity goes out to the family in their affliction. Golden Wedding. Mr. and Mrs. Gee. Taylor of Lower Winghad», Victoria St., celebrated their golden wedding on Saturday, 10th inst., There were none present except the members of the family and their wives or husbands, The event should have been observed on the 8LE inst, but through a misunderstanding as to dales, the arrangement had to be postponed, until the above date, it being the birthday anniversary of the groom. The original wedding was solemnized at Zstland, 50 years ago, July 8th, when Geo. Taylor of Kinloss was united in marriage with Catherine Lamont of Ttirnberry. The young couple took up house keeping on Lot 81, con. 5 of Kinloss, where they re- sided until twelve Years ago last March, at which time they came to Lower Wingham. This union was blessed with a family of five children, John of Hanover, who occupies the position of town elerk of that progres. sive town, and who for seventeen years conducted a book and stationery business in the same town retiring last fall, Sarah, of Montreal, who is adjutant in thin Salvation Army and Matron of the Wotking Women's home in that city. Isabel, wife of Wm. J. Currie of East Wawanosh. Itachael, the yonngest, wife of Albert pretaido, who died at Collingwood in March of 1911. All the family living were present, as well as Mrs. John T. Taylor, VVin. 3. Currie, Eli Segues and wife, the latter being it elder of the bride of 50 years ago, and who has very vivid recollections of what took place on that 0006.010M The bride and groom were remember. ed in a 'suitable way by the family and all spent an enjoyable evening 'with music and reealling the many el:tangos in the past half-eentury as to removals in the commonity, the 'social life and mora status of country life then and DOW* An.10}..11.,51,1mniniThes.",101, Moving To Toronto.

Scott of East Wawa - nosh brought his wool to town on Monday in his .new auto. He was able to spend the greater part of the after- noon at his farm work and then in a short time do his business in town. An auto is a great time-saver for a busy farmer. Mr. Scott was the first farmer in his township to erect a steel windmill, the first to install a tele- phone and the first to purchase an auto. In many sections of Canada and the N. 'W. most farmersfind an auto a good investment and in a few years they will be considered a commercial necessity here. Old Resident Leaves. We learn with deep regret that Mr. Wm. Moore, who is one of the oldest residents of Wingham, has gone to spend the eventide with his daughter, Mrs. A. J. McDougall, of Hamilton. Mr. Moore moved to Wing - ham over fifty years ago and during that time has held the good -will and esteem of all who knew him./For twenty-five years he has been an active member of the School Board and for a period acted as chairman of Bailee. He also has been warden in the Anglican Church and Wingbam isms a good citizen by his removal, but we trust to see him visit us from time to time. Passed To The Great Beyond. On Friday, July 18th, a highly' re spected citizen of Wingham passed away in the person of Mr. Jas. Thom- son, in his 73rd year. The deceased was born in Lanarkshire, Scotland, in the year 1810 and, at the age of'19 yrs, came with his parents, Mr. and Mre. ThosThomson, to this country, settling in Hullett. In 1875 he came to the 9th concession of Turnberry and 23 years ago he married Miss Jane Nichol of Turnberry, who is left to mourn the loss of a loving husband, Two years ago Mr. and Mrs. Thom- son came to Wingham, where they have continued to reside.Mr. Thom- son was a faithful member of the Presbyterian Church and in politics a staunch Liberal The funeral took place on Friday from his late resi- dence, Shuter St. The late Professor R.
