The Wingham Advance, 1913-10-30, Page 1in 42N0 YEAR, NO. 8. WING.HA ONT., THURSDAY, �S OCTOBER 30, 1913. ADVANCE CIRCULATION COMPETITION PARTICULARS THIS WEEK. EDITORIAL PARAURAPIS. —Chateauguay has spoken, Eaat Middlesex has spoken, Nex• 1 *as* —Mr. N. W. Rowell, must 'win his spurs' before he can win elections, x** —Outside of its leaders and their policy the Liberal party seems to he all right. * * * - .Sir Wilfred Laurier complains that the Ohateauguay seat was stolen. This is the stock explanation of a bad loser. --Hon, Sydney Fisher says he is not yet through with Chateauguay, where as Chateauguay is through with Hon. Sydney Fisher. eset —The verdict of by-elections seems to indicate some slight difference of opinion between the Liberal leaders and the electorate. * * * —Sir Wilfrid Laurier now wants a tariff commission, having succeeded in killing the bill introduced by the present government for the creation of a tariff commission. Is he begin- ning to see the light or is he just play- ing the old Laurier game ? Most Iikely the Iatter•. * * * —The Laurier policy now is to build two Dreadnoughts and the Globe speaking editorially on Monday last says that they would eertainiy have to be built in Eogland. Isn't it real funny—just a few months ego the -Globe and Liberal Leaders proclaimed that it was a slur on Oanadians to say that the three Borden Dreadnoughts must be built in England. Just a dif- ference of one Dreadnought now. Next. * ** —The Borden Government keeps its promises. The Borden Government promised a new grain route via Hud- son Bay and is providing it. The Hudson Bay Railway (the building of which was persistently and deliberate- ly declared by the Laurier Govern- ment) is under contract. Men and materials have been sent by water to work on the Port Nelson terminals. Announcement is eo'w made that work is to begin at once on the construction of a large grain elevator at Port Nelson. The Government has called for tenders for this elevator. The plans must in- dicate the type of elevator for a capa- city of one and a half million bushels, which must be located near and con- form with the pier construction of the Department of Railway and Canals. v" enders will be in on November 5.h, and the Government will lose no time in selecting the type of building which it seems most desirable and in calling for construction tenders. The calling for tenders for plans for a Government• owned elevator at Port Nelson marks another step forward by Mr, Borden towards bis pledge of Government ownership of grain elevators, and also means that the present Government is in real earnest about the Hudson Bay project. —D3spite the calamity howling of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his lieuten. ants, and their blue -ruin talk and their contentions that the country is going to the bow -wows since the de- feat of the Liberals, the trade of the country keeps perversely growing. The trade figures which are about the best possible index of a country's prosperity show that business is very buoyant. y nt. The most striking feature of the trade returns is the large in - ase in exports and the decline in -'1'mports during the month of Septem- tember. The total volume of Oanada's trade for September was $95,665,000 com- pared with $87,606,000 for September, 1912. For the six months ending Sep- tember 80 the totol Canadian trade was $551,978,000 compared with M6,- 205,000 for the corresponding six months of 1912, an increase of no less than $15,713,000. The officitil figures furnished by Hon. J. D. Reid show that the im• porta for the corresponding month c f 1012 were $38 518 000 of dutiable goods, and $10,307,000 of free goods. Exports for September were $37,0180 000 of domestic goods and $1071.000 of foreign goods, as against $2.5,814.000 domestic and $3 153,000 foreign f•n September 1012. The total exports for the six months ending September 30th last were—domestic goods $188,. 405,000 and foreign goode $22.812,000 as against $162.427,000 domestic and $15,072,000 foreign, for the six months ging September 30-h, 1012, an in ase of $25,078,000 in exports of Canadian products for the half year. The exports of agriculture prr,dnce show a big increase, being $118.30.000 for September 1913, compared with $5,575,000 for September 1012, There are big increases in exports all along the line. Exports of minerals for September last were $6,402 000, and for the previous September $5,278,000. Exporter of manufactures atnoursted to 0,011,000 for September' 1910, AA against $3,587,000 for September 1912 Sooty well, tong i11, Sooner said than done, Sorrow will pay no dela, A. T. DAVISON, LUCKNOW, DECI3ASO. Much sorrow and regret was exp: eas- ed this (Thursday) morning when word passed around town that Mr. A. T. Davison had passed away during the night. Death, which came quite un- expectedly, was due to heart trouble. He had complained early in the week of not feeling well, but thought little of it until about eight o'clock Wednes- day evening when he became noticeab- ly worse. Later in the evening medi- caI aid was called, but the hour had struck, and the end came between eleven and twelve o'clock. Alexander T. Davison was a very well known man in Lueknow and the surrounding country, and no man was more highly respected. He has been a resident of the town since 1872, when he came hero from Oshawa to open the furniture and undertaking business which he has ever since con- ducted, He was anativeof Haidirnand County. He was early in life ap- prenticed to a furniture manufacturer' and undertaker in Varna, and later worked in Oshawa, becoming a high- ly skilled workman, He served for five years on the Council Board of Lucknow and was reeve for one year. For the past nine years he was a jus- tice of the peace. He was a member of the Masonic and Orange orders and of the 0. 0. F. Betides a widow he leaves two sons and three daughters: Fred, of Clayo- quet, B C.; Will, of town; Ruth—Mre. Geo, Burgess, of Toronto; Retta—des. Z-igler, of Sask., and Mae, at home. —[Lecknow Sentinel. The funeral of the late Alexander T. Davison was held on Sunday and was said to be one of the Largest funerals ever witnessed in Lueknow- It was a masonic funeral and there...were also about one hundred Orangernen in the procession. Mr: Dav4son was one whom we were always delighted to meet, , he being genial, kind and public spirit- ed, and was known as a man who was four square and many were the ex- pressions xpressions of regret at hie sudden de- mise. The family have the sincere ' sympathy of the Advance in their ; hour of trial. The Rev. Mr. Finley, of whose church he was a member, officiated. Diseased was a cousin to Messrs. John, Wm. and I. Davison of Wingham. Mathematical Problem. The following is a problem Mai. 1, the Advance would like to be eoligtit- ened on :— (a) Fifty-four pupils and one teach- er in the Assembly room of the high School. (h) A partition is run through the centre of this room and the fifty-four students are divided into two classes on either side of the said partition and another teacher added. In which case does each student get more cubic feet of air apace ? To us it appears in the former be- cause there is one more teacher and also the partition takes up a portion of the air space. In addition to this, if the building was built with proper ventilation in that room, and no doubt it was, the partition will now interfere with the ventilation, One of the; speakers at the Council B raid th‘ other night tried to raise the bugaboo that the former condition would not be "sanitary." We leave it to the intelligent people of Wingham if the latter condition is not more unsanitary than the first. Save Money. You can save money by watching for bargains as announced by our ad- vertisers. Page three is full of announcements and it will pay you to study there, Want The News. The Advance would like to make it plain that it wolcornes the trews of all sections of the country. If there is a small village, or corners not represent- ed by a correspondent, it wilt welcome correspondents so inclined to hake up the work. Writing to newspapers, not only helps to keep the people in touch one with the other, but it also helps the welter lu that he or she is acquiring considerable valuable educa- tion and experience. If you have a piece of news j:et it down and send, It to the Ad Vence, Give us news. Sign your name on all correspondence, not for publication, but to the editor Will know With Where he is talking, Board Of Education. At the special meeting of the Coun- cil on Monday evening a number of straw men were erected and most skilfully knocked down by several of the speakers. We will endeavor to give some of the arguments and our answers thereto : (a) Members of the Council, who were in favour of the Board of Education, point out that seventy-eight out of one hundred and forty-eight High Schools and Colleg- iate Institutes in the Province are managed by a Board of Education. One speaker said that this was no argument. This statement is too ab- surd to require any answer. If seven- ty-eight High Schools and Collegiate Institutes in the Province of Ontario are content with a Board of Education and feel that it is better than the old system, surely in the name of common sense, we as the 79ah ,are taking no chances. If 78 Judges of the land had pronounced "so and soz' correct, we think when the 70th 'so and so' same up the other 78 would be pointed to as precedents. An endeavor was made to show that all the Trustees were elected "practi- cally, indirectly or some other circun taus way." Now the high School Board is composed of seven members, three e are appointed by the County Council on recommendation of the Reeve and sometimes there is much intrigue in this. Three are appointed by the Town Council and usually a member comes with a motion up his sleeve to appoint some particular friend, sometimes fur services rendered and the other one is similarly appointed by the Public School Board. If it is wrong for the people to elect the mien whb spend their money, then it is, wrong to elect the Members of Parliament, which elections, are the corner stones of responsible Govern- ment. Since the formation of the High School Board, it has been thought much inferior to occupy a place on the Pub• lic School Board, with the consequence, that every nomioation night there has been a scurry around to get someone o stand and since tine High School Board was formed we believe that only one Trustee bus been elected to the Public School Board by the votes of the people and wben the Board of Education ie formed we believe there will be more men anxious for seats on same. From a glance of the minutes of the High School Board for 1013 we believe that there were four members (a bare quorum) in attendance more frequent- ly than any other number, Itis a rare thing for a member of the Town Coun- cil not to be in attendance and we be- lieve that when the Board of Educa- tion is elected by the people tbere will be a similar good attendance as at the Council. The whole fact of the mat• ter so far as the Town Council is con- cerned is this, "that those wbo spend eight and one half mills of the people's money mu t be elected by the people." Officers elected. At ''t.e annual meeting of the Ledies Au t"':.,,ry of the Wingham General l•1 ,.ital the following officers were rl seed :—Hon. President, MIT. J. Wil- . -.,u; President, Mrs. Richard Van - .,tone; Ist. Vice Pres , Mrs. J. A. Mc- Lean ; 2nd. Vice Pres , Mrs, H. E. W. Tamlyn ; Treasurer, Miss M. L. Brock ; Corres. Sec., Mrs. 0, M. Walker ; Rec. Sec., Mre. Richard Clegg. Turnberry Wedding. A very pretty wedcling was solemn- ized at the home of Mr. and Mrs, Robert Weir, lot 11, con. 9, Turnberry on 0. t. 22nd, at high noon, when their daughter, Miss Udora, was united in marriage with Mr, James H. McGee of Turnberry. The ceremony was performed by the Rev, E. B. Croly, assisted by Rev. J. W. Hilbert of Wingham. The bride entered the parlor leaning ou the arm of her fath- er, while the wedding march was rendered by Mre. E. H. Croly, and looked charming gowned in white Messeline silk trimmed with fine chif- fon frilling and pearl ornaments and she wore a veil of Brussels net arrang. ed with a wreath of orange blossoms and carried a bouquet of chrysanthe- mums and maiden hair fern. The grooms gift to tate bride was a beauti- ful gold watch and fob. Little Irene Ellacott, niece of•the groom, acted as 11 ewer girl and was dressed in white all-over embroidery and worn a gold bracelet, the gift of the groom. After hearty congratulations, Mr. Harvey McGee of Auburn sang "When the dew was on the rose." The guests numbering about 50, partook of a sumptuous dinner. The wedding gifts were numerous and costly and ranged from silverware, furniture, china, linen and also a sum of money, show- ing the high esteem in which 11.7e young conple are held. A reception Was held in the evening and was large lyattended, a very enj iyahle tints being e pent with mash,, singing and dancing, till the wee stall hours of the morning.

The pure well water has been in the mains for the past ten days and on Sunday morning last the stand pipe was cleaned so the water from the taps can now be used for drinking pur- poses. However, it might be as well forurre idents to boil the waterhe o a e to used for drinking purposes for a while yet, as it will take a little while for the mains to *be completly washed of any slime from the river water. "Ali things come to those who wait" and while our citizens have been waiting for a long time for pure water they now have it in abundance. BmTl3t?. Cuutts—In Wingham, Oct. 18, to Mr, and Mrs. Alex.

Children's day was fittingly observ- ed in Sr. Paul's church on Sunday lar t by the special services held throuhout the day. In the morning the Sunday Sehool children attended the service, and the address by the rector, Rev. E. H. Croly, was relative to S. S. work, referring to the many different de- partments now in existence, and also gave an explanation of the S. S. Com- mission. In the afternoon the child- ren again assembled in the church, when they listened to an interesting address on "The Lord's Prayer," by the rector. Bandmaster Hinkley gave a couple of cornet solos which were very much appreciated. Baptismal service was" held at the close of the afternoon service. In the evening the rector chose for his subject, "TLe possibilities of child life," taking his text from Pe. 8 :2. These services should encourage those now engaged in S. S. work, and inspire others with the desire to enter in the work. The colleetions were in aid of the S. S. Oommission. Lpersona j L, w ... Rev. J. W. Hibbert was in London this week. Mr. A.

Surely we have reached au age when every animal, the meat of which is offered for sale, should bo inspected at the time of slaughtering. The statistics of tubercular hogs, sheep and cattle is alarming. Beef rings in the country frequently bury animals that look healthy but on being slaught- ered are unfit for consumption. Sure- ly we owe it to our families to see to it that meats plaeed upon our tables are not diseased. We have in our midst a man of wide experience in such in- spention. Think the matter over and assist the council to form some work- able plan for inspection of all meats consumed In Wingham, On Thursday last the Girls' Auxili- ary of St, Paul's church held a Talent Tea at the home of Mrs,fE.
