HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Wingham Advance, 1913-12-11, Page 5THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1913 Worthy of the world's best music To most of us the chance to hear human playing of good music comes infrequently. Only in the great cities are the appetites of the music -hungry satisfied. Even then one can hear but a small part of all the worth while concerts. Fortunately for those who love the masters of the past, and who 'have the judgment to recognize in present day composers the masters of the future, there is the Edison Phonograph, It is worthy of Wagner, of 1 Bach, of Puccini. The clear, sweet tone, remarkable in its purity, is simply a transla- S- W`r� tion of human music into your own home. Unless you have heard the newest Edisons, you have no conception of their wonderful mellow quality. You never realized that such beauty could be applied to sound. Ask your Edison dealer to play one of the Blue Amberol Records—then you will know that the whole world of good music —past and present—is open to you. TRADE MARK' p�vgl t� W & VVVaw.

WINOI-IAM 6 T H 1 I . ,4 N VI U A M ADVANCE Letter Front California, To the le'l for Dear Friend :,r Agreeably to my promise, I drop you herewtth a few lines from luuther•n California, from which you may select such paragraphs. as yutl judge will be of interest to your readers. The Advance reaches as regularly and keeps us in touch with the duingein, our former home town, Our bungalow is completed and we are now occupying it, and hope soon to get stented once more ; some of our goods packed last May were not open- ed until Nov, 10 The writer has hed a times time 'fur the past three months, overseeing the building of our Oali• fornia buugalow, erecting poultry houses, grading around the house, and getting the garden started, we have put in ten hours a day faithful work in the "out-of-doors." Was I tired? Yes, rather; but always ready for meals and sleep well, The insomnia that troubled the ex -editor is dis- appearing, and the healthful atmos- phere of the fuot•hills is delightful. Mrs. Hall is also better than she was, though not altogether free from the asthma. The rest of the family are well. The J. Herbert Hall Co, has a magnificent etore in their new location, and on Saturday last held their formai "opening". Several thou- sand people visited the store, to hear the orchestra., look at the immense stock tastefully arranged, and see the floral decorations sent by wholesale Arms in New York, Sets 1't•anol ec', and other places. The other jewellers of the city sent a pretty decoration inscribed "Success." Walter T. Hall is Secretary -Treasurer of the Co , while Earl is making himself useful in many•ways as he begins to climb the ladder of business in a large city. Pardon the writer Mr. Editor for so touch of personal reference, but pos. sibly the many readers of the Advance may be interested in knowing how we are situated. Our bungalow has seven rooms, spacious porches ; bookcases, buffet, linen and kitchen cupboards are all "built-in", saving the purchase of mach furniture. We have phone, mail and daily paper delivery, electric light, but as yet have not the con- venience of city gas. For 000kiog pu^poses, we u -e distillate, which after it has burned a couple of nnintees emits a pretty, hot blue fl tme. We like it very much. It costs seven (7) cents a gallon delivered in 59 gallon lots. That goantit.y will last an ordin- ary family from four to six week, according to the cooking recs.-deed, so tbat it is a cheap fuel, Electric light, ie five cents per kilu:v.>,tt, from either the L•lison or the City plant, which 1- cheap light, and no charge for metre. When a bulbegoes "dead", the city will replace it on presentation of the useless one. We found some eu aLy. pais trees on our ranch and these furnish ue with winter's wool for heating stove and fireplace. So we are very comfortable and surrounded with convenience"'. Our ranch of orange, apricots and peaches comprises about seven acres, situated just at the city limits. It is composed of 32 lots, two of which are within the` city boundaries, and we are about 2e miles from the civic 'centre, with car•line 20 minute service three blocks distant. O.1 one side of our ranch •t beautifully paved street terminate, and at the other end, the country 1aselevard (a, magnificent road* way) ps ses. It is daily thronged with aatorn `tiles. 0 re evening, I counted twet•ty within the length of a block. W 'see located near the mountains,. r just across the "Arroyo" (meaning 1 ,r river -bed) is one range, probably u tlf•a-mile to the west. To the north, is another range from one to two miles distant, and between these lies rhe beautiful La Canada valley (accent on the "ad" in Canada). To the south east lies the flourishing city of Pasts dena, and beyond. that, Les Angeles and the Pacific ocean. Our ranch is on the records as "Vista. Grand" mean- ing "grand view", Mount Leese with its Observatory and incline railway i' clearly, visible, and sorne nights we come within sweep of its powerful search -light. Even at the risk of wearying your typesetters and readers, I may Bay that although we have only made our tlrst attempt at gardening in this Ilimate,'where operations differ from eastern methods, we are getting on fairly well. We are now using green onions, radishes, lettuce, etc , and our garden peas are very promising Potatoes here in Ostober and Feb' te ary i' b'tr- ary ; we missed the 0;tober planting by not being ready, bus will catch the next planting. On November 15 h. 1 set out cabba.gs planta; and my heigb- bor sowed hie barley the next week, Green vegetables can be had all the year round. Property in this section just outside the city limits is held, at high value. tion, and those who have resided here for years, predict additional advance in values, and the city's growth will naturally tend in this direction, The first rain of the season fell N rv. 1st, and another on the 120h, and as we write, rain is again falling. These rains delight the hearts of the people, and already after the rainless summer, vegetation is taking on new l.f.e, Orange and lemon trees ore throwing otrt'an 'abundance of new Bhootei, for fruit bearing next' season, That naval oranges mature In .December and trees are wall loaded.

As an index, the building permits issued in Los Angeles front Jan, 1 to St pt. 30, 1913, numbered 12,- 774 for buildings valued at $20,583,203. Pasadena is sharing in the general development, The latest assestet:lent of Pasadena is $$1,51•1,221; adding pro• pert value exempt, would bring It up to $100,000,000 mark, With the open- ing of the Panama Canal, even more rapid development is predicted. For the information of your readere, here are a few facts gleaned from Crest -worthy sources, that show the wonderful productiveness of Southern California. The, citrus trees are - 01 engete L onons and Gr'ape-fend. Deciduous t resew (those that shed their leaves) are peach, pear, apples, etc, The country of San Bernardino alone bast 77,379 acres of fruit•bearing trees; of these, 43,355 acres are citrus trees. For the season °commencing Nov. 1, 40- 000 cars of deciduous fruits were shipp- ed and the deciduous fruit crop of the whole' State is valued at $18,000,000. From Diouba, in the San Joaquin val- ley, in Sept. fast, there were shipped • 10,781 tone of raisins, and the estimat- ed ehipments for October were 25,000 tons. Of walnuts, the State Grower's Association place the crop at $3,000,000 At Brawley, in the Imperial Valley, the honey shipped is placed at 3,040 carloads. I wish I could picture to you, Mr, Editor, some of California's gorgeous sun sets', but it would require an artist to depict them, and a more gifted pen than mine to describe them, so I will not attempt the impossible.

Tile State, or at least, this por- tion of it, is a net -work of electric roads, One day recently, just as the writer was clothed in his working suit, and scarcely "presentable," we noticed an auto coming up the lane to our bunga- low. We were delighted to welcome Dc. and Mrs. Towler and Miss Lou Lloyd, formerly of Wingham. They had come from Los Angeles to call on us and extend an invitation for us to visit them at an early date. All are looking well, and gave us a cordial welcome to their sunny clime. Now ) must really "put on the: brakes." We have not forgotten our farmer pleasant association r in the good Town of ,Wingham, and the rainy friendships formed there, We regret to note the passing away of former acqu tintancea, bat the "It 'ap- er" is always busy.

Practical experience has shows" that crate feedlog to not only a very satire factory but also an economical method of fattening poultry. The saving in the amount of feed rtquired to pro- duce one pound of gaits is write mark- ed, and the feeder is enabled to obeerve to greater advantage the progress being made by individual birds. lie can also, if necessary curtail the dura- tion of the feeding period in the case of birds which have attained their maxiume weight and ate ready to be pieced in the flniething crate. Crate fattening cannot with Euceets be carried . on in a haphazard way. The feeder requires to understand the principles of what he is at and to give the necessary attention to the details of his work. In order to teach the proper method of feeding poultry in crates the Life Stock Commissioner at Ottawa has had prepared a seasonable illustrated pamphlet on the subject BALD AT 35 Kill the Germs; Nourish the Bair Roots and You'll Never Grow Bald—Use Parisian Sage.
