year should be nearly or .quite
000 more than it is this year, we have
a good town; indeed; there is no better
of its size; Wingham is growing sub-
stantially, and there is no need for
pessimism, Wingham is all right,,
though perhaps, in the meantime some
of us have to "scratch gravel" for the
29 mills, We have prosperous factor.,
ies, a good Town Hall, two excellent
water' powers, an efficient system .,of
fire proteetion, an electric light plant,
the best of educational facilities in
good Public •School and High School,
besides nearly 20 Miles of granolithic
sidewalk. Who would go back to the
conditions of fifteen years ago? While
other towns are dead, or stationary,
Wingham is growing substantially,
Don't "knock" the town. Be optimis-
Look on the .bright side. (Ed. note
More food for thought.) -
Local Items-This is the way one
of our exchanges puts it:-The country
is just now scoured by enthusiastic
hunters, with $10 clogs and $50, guns,
who shoot away $1 worth, of ammtini-
tion, wear out worth of clothes, and:
spend $2 worth of time to get 30 cents
worth of game.

Wingham I
a few years ago, At the same time, it
should not be forgotten that part of
what /is termed "the increased cost of
living" results.from the fact that people
of to=day regard as necessities 'things
which a few years ago were regarded
as luxuries, Older people contend,
with a certain degree of truth, that if
people would live as economically as
they did, say ten years ago, we should
not bear so much about inability to
make ends meet in financing the house-
hold. But we must have electric lights,
g`ranolithis sidewalks, High Schools,
the best teachers, the best preachers,
daily papers, concerts, and a - host of
other things not thought of or in-
dulged in a few years ago. After all,
what would life be, if some of these
things were blotted out, and we Were
shunted back twenty years? Perhaps
some things we regard as necessities,
are really luxuries, but the onward
march of progress prevents it being
otherwise than it is. (Ed. note: food
for thought.)
Sanctum Paragraphs-It is now con-
ventional to say: "Taxes are due .and
payable," and for the convenience of
the ratepayers, they are payable at the
Banks. It is true, 29 mills is a high
rate to face, but it is unavoidable, and
the only way to do is to pay it, look
sweet, and hope for a lower rate next
year. With the new stores and thirty
or more new dwellings erected this
year the assessment of the town next
The New Car in the Low-Priced Field
Just touch the accelerator and feel
that sweep of power. Get the thrill of
that smooth, level ride. See how this
car responds to your every wish. Feel
how it hugs the road. Now glide to a
quick, smooth, silent atop. Yes, you'll
really step lively with Mercury 114.
For amazing pull and pick-up, it has
that big, powerful, V-type, 8-cylinder
engine. For roadability and handling
ease, there's two-way. stabilization
and oversize, self-centering, hydraulic
brakes.
And for impressive beauty-a big,
gleaming front -long, low lines-
luxurious interiors with mohair of
broadcloth upholstery-a distinctive
instrument panel in lustrous plastic
and metal trim.
`This car-so big so powerful, 6o
good-looking--is also nice d in the
very lowest bracket. When you see it,
sit in it, drive it, 'you'll certainly want
to "step lively with Mercury 1I4."
Bee it before you buy any low-priced car
