The Wingham Advance, 1911-02-09, Page 1t 4 it The Allingham Mvance. 39T1 YEAR, NO. 24, WINGHAM, ONT., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1911. l8U8St7RIPTION $1111:5000 I 00 le ' EA>N AiE, 1.eiO roPg8tmi ci zuzuatI1Dv4 U,o$, SANCTUM PARAGRAPHS. —Nevada State Legislature has pas- sed a stilt law, making it unlawful to sell or give cigarettes or cigarette papers to any lean, woman or child, in the state of Nevada. —It is no use trying., We give it up. We have utterly failed to find out what on earth they needed those fifteen thousand corkscrews for in the Government Printing Bureau at Ot- tawa. One each of those corkscrews would do the Wingham printing es- tablishments a life -time. - * * —Tho Ontario Government ha's de- ckled to increase the salaries of the members from $1000 to $1400. In- creased cost of living we suppose is one of the reasons. But some people tell us that the now trade agreement between Canada and the States is going to reduce j,he cost of living. Evidently all do not believe that beautiful theory. • • * ** —Just now it looks as if there were more bankers go to penitentiary than editors. After all, with the tempta- tion of piles of money always at hand, the bankers do not show up so badly. Editors have not the same tempta- tion to appropriate other people's money. As a rule, it kee'lis them busy getting hold of their own. All bank- ers are not frauds, neither are all editors saints, . * * * —The Chicago News imagines that some day, one Government will be sufficient for the North American continent. So you intend to swallow up Canada, eh? Well, Johnny Ca- nticle may have something to say about that when the time comes, not- withstanding the foolish actions of some of our politicians in the days past. Possibly it is Canada's wonder- ful natural resources you are after! * * * —The "Inland Printer" announces that a paper has been started at the United States, Asylum for the Insane at Mattewan. It is gotten lip by the inmates, and called "The Weekly Loonytic." We have never met the editor, but we have met lots of chaps, who thought they could run any local paper better than the editor, who had been on the job for years. They should apply for a position on the Mattewau staff. * * * —The Dominion Government has called for tenders for the construction of ten new vessels for the Canadian navy, just as a beginning, Will some person please toll us what need Canada" has for a "navy". Ten new vessels in addition to the two already purchased will coat a heap of money. Their maintenance will be a constant bill of expense, and a heavy annual drain on the Trea-ury. When world- wide peace is the theme, and efforts are being made to secure it, we cannot understand why Canada should com- mence to play at this war and slaugh• ter business. To us, it appears the greatest folly. • ** —The great anxiety for Reciprocity does not seem to rest with the Cana- dian people, but appears to have origi- nated with President Taft, who was looking for something to make him- self and the Republican party popular, and save the situation. Some of the leading industt•ies of the United States have been seriously hampered in their operations by the difficulty of getting raw 'materials. The people of the United S' ales have exhausted their own .resources, and in order to serve the industrial needs of the country they find it necessary to draw a sup- ply from Canada. Here are President Taft's wards, and our readers will have no difiieulty interpreting them, for their meaning is quite clear :— • "We have drawn upon our natural resources in snob a way OA to invite attention to their necessary limit, This has properly aroused t fl'•rrt to conserve them, to avoid their waste and to re- strict their use of our necessities. Ought we not then to arrange a commercial agreement with Cana- da, if we can, by which we shall have direct access to )ler great supply of natural products with- out an obstructing or prohibitory tariff? By giving our people access to Canadian Forests we reduce , .r '1 lallantOlvII e consumption of , tit p THE TOWN COUNCIL„ The second monthly meeting of Wingham Town Council for 1911 was held on Monday evening, Oth inst. ; members all present except Coun, Bell.

On reading of By-law No. 630, for issue of debentures for sewers on local improvement plan, Coun, McKenzie entered into lengthy objections, and the hoar being late, on motion of Coun's Elliott and Bone, the By-law was referred to the Sewer er committee w to consider and report at a special meeting, The Sewer committee was asked to consider the present plumbing By-law and report, The Auditors' report was presented and referred to the Finance cora- mittee, 1. 50 2'75 7.50 Pierce Storms. So far this winter, there has been very little delay and no snow bleak. ride to trains IA or out of Wingban In W e. West they have not been so fortunate, Last week, western trains were blocked so that three and even four engines failed to move thetn, and in New Ontario ten feet deep of snow is reported.

Mon- treal reports the worst storm for ten year*. THE LESSON FOR CANADA. John R. Bone, brother of Wm, Bono of Wingham, and managing editor of the Toronto Star, gave an address to the Canadian Club In London, Ont., one evening last week, on the recent British elections. In concluding his address, he said: --"What is the lesson for Canada ? To my mind it was indi Dated in an address on "Some Prob- lems in Canada." delivered recently by Mr. R. L. Borden. • Speaking of the problem of the distribution of wealth, he parenthetically used, in effect, these words." "When William the. Conqueror came over and conquered England he parceled out the land among his barons and established a sys- tem which England is not yet quite free from. Nine hundred years and England is not yet free from the political tyranny of huge wealth and hereditary power ! And our democratic neighbors to o the south have developed vested interests and a second chamber which is already a greater incubus than even a hereditary House of Lords. Today, with unimportant exceptions, Canada with all her faults, is, politically, the freest nation on earth ; nowhere else is there as near an approach to free and responsible Governmeut. And at this halcyon epoch in our career let ue beware, let us beware of our William the Conquerors and their noble barons." Icy Sidewalk Caused it. Oa Saturday evening, Mee. Fred. McLean was walking along Alfred street, near the upholstering factory, when she fellon the icy sidewalk. The result was one of her legs was broken between the knee and ankle. Mr, and Mrs. McLean have had con- siderable sickness in their short mar- ried life, and now this accident is another trouble. We hope Mrs. Mc- Lean will soon recover, and the way be brighter in the future. , Special Addresses. A large number gathered in St. An- drew's Church on Thursday afternoon to hear Mrs. A. Gordon's address on "The Influence of Womanhood," The address was excellent, and was listen- ed to with great interest. On Thurs- day afternoon of this week, Mrs. Gordon will give her last special ad- dress in Wingharn, commencing at 4 p. in., in the Methodist church. The subject will be "The Ideal Home ; you can have one." A cordial invitation is extended to all. Coun, Mitchell spoke regarding material for streets the street com- mittee will report later. Motion of Coun. Bone and On mthe Reeve, $350 was placed to the credit of the School Board. A Cruel Joke. A Carrick farmer, who has been pes- tered nearly to death with horse buy- ers uyers this winter, made up hie mind to put an end to the trouble by putting a sign on his gate post "no horses for sale here." It wasn't long before some mischievous wag saw a chance for a joke, and he erased the word "No" from the sign. Immediately the pro- cession commenced, and the farm- er has been fighting off the buyers by the score ever since. — [Mildmay Gazette. Thing along your Shoes, We do repairing and do- It right. W. J.

Nine persona out of ten, with a cin- der or other foreign substance in the eye, will instantly begin to rub it with one hand while nunting for a handker<.: chief with the other. This is all wrong. The right way is not to rub the eye with the cinder in it, but to rub the other as vigorously as you like. It is said that if the foregoing advice be followed the foreign body 'will soon find its way to the corner of the eye and be washed out with the tears it causes. GIRL WANTED.—Apply to Mrs. R. M. Robinson, Wingham, North Huron L. 0. L. The County lodge of North Huron was held in Wingham on Tuesday. There was a good representation and the following officers were elected :— County Master, M.

Mr. Abell of Kincardine was present to invite North Huron to celebrate July 12th in Kincardine, The in- vitation was accepted. Alfalfa As Food. Alfalfa must be one of the most widely useful products of the earth, if all the claims of its admirers are allowed. At a dinner in Colorado, it appeared in some form in every course. The biscuits were made of alfalfa meal. The turkey was stuffed with alfalfa while ,he was alive, and afterward when he was prepared for the oven. Mashed alfalfa leaves mas- queraded as spinach. The fresh green leaves were served as salad, and al- falfa tea and alfalfa cider were used in place of coffee and water, NOTICE —All accounts not paid by lst of March will pees into other bands for collection.—S.

The family left by the afternoon trait'' but before they arrived, Chester had 1•: used away. AF, short time ago, he had contraeted scarlet fever pre- valent in the city,but was Considered on the fair way to recovery, when a relapse - occurred, and before his parents could reach the home, disease had done its deadly work, Cheater was born and raised in Wingham, and a g few yeare ago, , decided to enter commercial life, and filled a responsi- ble situation as traveller for one of Toronto's large wholesale firms, lle was a young man of good ability, fine physique, good moral character, and his death in the prime of young man- hood is deeply regretted.

A disastrous railway accident oc- curred on Saturday night on the Buf- falo Goderich line near Paris, Ont. The train had left Brantford for Paris with only a few passengers. Without any warning a mogul engine running light, from Stratford, plunged into the passenger train. The engineer and fireman of the passenger train were instantly killed. Ia the baggage car were Peter McParland, baggage - man, John Whitelaw, express -man and Wm, Tye, mail clerk. Fire at once broke out in the wreck, and added horror to the disaster. McFar- land was saved from the flames but died at a farm house near by, soon after, Mail clerk Tye's body was charred in the flames; he had seen forty years' service and was soon to retire. Whitelaw the express -man was wedged in among the fls,mes, and escape was impossible. A revolver shot was heard. Some say that Whitelaw seeing escape from the flames impossible, ended his suffer- ings. Besides these three Goderich men, the engineer and fireman, D. J. Crozier a passenger was killed, and five others injured. Wni, Mayi mail clerk assistant, also of Goderich, was seriously injured. The cause of the accident appears to have been mistake on the part of the conduotor of the mogul engine, who it is said has not been seen since. These railway disas- ters have been fax too frequent of late, and it looks as if carelessness or ne- glect of orders was the cause of many of them. See page 7 for full report.

ALGONQUIN NATIONAL PARK. Many people are unaware of the fact that the Algonquin National Park, 1600 feet above sea level, at Algonquin Park station, a charming hotel known as the "Highland Inn" is open during the winter months for the reception of guests who desire to enjoy the oetherftgpurity aiandhe many winter a- musements that can be enjoyed are just the thing to recuperate a run- down constitution and build the phy sleal over-worked body. Address "Highland Inn," Algonquin Park Sta- tion, Ont., for further particulars. RUPTURE SPECIALIST — Dr. J. S. Smith of Stratford, will be at the Brunswick hotel, on Thursday Feb- ruary 16th, for one day only. CThumb '!flews Make haste 0 man to live, For thou so soon must die ; Time hurries past thee like the breeze, How swift its moments fly. Capt. Riches expected to hold his farewell services next Sunday, but at the request of Headquarters, he will remain another month, as a suitable successor is not at present available. The new Anglican Church in Walk- erton, erected at a cost of $11,000, was formally opened ou Sunday by Bishop Williams who conducted the dedi- cation ceremonies. The old church to which the congregation said farewell the last Sunday in January, was erect- ed some 54 years ago on a site donated by the founder of Walkerton. Next Sunday will be observed as Bible Sunday in St. Paul's Church, in view of the 800th anniversary of the translation of the Bible. The morn- ing subject will be, "The Bible"; in the evening, the special subject for mon will be—"The life of the soul in the intermediate state." Last Sunday evening, the rector spoke on the Bible and its completeness as an introduc- tory to next Sunday's sermons. The evangelistic services held in the Methodist Church are being continued this week with good results. Large congregations attend each night, and deeply interested in the plain, pointed gospel addresses of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon. On Friday evening, at the suggestion of Rev. Dr. Rutledge, a large number of the congregation as- sembled at the corner of Josephine and John streets and marched up and down the Main street led by the Salvation Army Band, who assisted in the musical part of the service in the church. Sunday was a day of special interest, services following each other from 10 a.m. till 0.30 p.m. At 3.45 in the afternoon, Mrs. Gordon gave an address on "The Story of Jim," The auditorium was filled with 'nen and boys, while the gallery was crowded with ladies. The enlarged choir, which has done such good service under the leadership of Mr. Morton, was present, and the gospel hymns were sung with enthusias>;tt. The ad- dress by Mrs. Gordon was one of thrilling interest. "Jiin" was a wand- erer. who lived a life of sin bolding infidel opinions; he had sunk to the lowest depths, and yet through the self-sacrificing efforts of Mrs. Gordon, andthe mercy of a loving Saviour, rescued and Fayed. The "story of Jim" made a deep impression, which will not soon be forgotten, and many men present signified by the uplifted hand, their desire to live a better life. Seldom• if ever in Wingham, has a larger or more interested audience of then listened to a Sunday afternoon address or more earnest appeal. Personals Councillor D. Bell'was in Toronto on Monday.

Thursday last was "Groundhog day." According to tradition, that is the day the groundhog—in some localities the bears—come out from their winter lairs. If they see their k'hadows they go back, to sleep for forty days longer, for they know that old King Winter will hold sway for that period. But if the sun is obscur- ed and no shadow visible, they stay out, for the backbone of winter is broken. Asia' as Wingbam was con- cerned, there was not enough sun- shine to cast a shadow, until towards evening, when we hope the ground- hog was too tired waiting for the sun- shine, and declined to come out.
