SANCTUM PARAGRAPHS.
--Col. Craig, M. L. A. for East Wel-
lington, has a bill before the Legisla-
ture prohibiting municipalities from
granting bonuses to industries, parti-
cularly to manufacturing indnstries.
This bill proposes to repeal all the
clauses in the Municipal Act under
which bonuses are given, and would
render illegal bonuses, loans, gift of
laud for sites of ,factories, and even
the granting of free water, light, etc.
It is quite true that tiffs bonus busi-
ness has been overdone, and some
towns have burdened themselves for
years ire assisting industries that
afterwards proved of little benefit.
At the same time, this bill would wipe
out the prospects of some towns ever
getting an industry. Batter leave it
as it is, and let the property -owners
support or defeat a proposal as their
common sense may suggest.
---Tho increased outlay of the On-
Ittario Government has created the
necessity for increased income. As to
the increase of expenditure,the great-
er part of it has been. necessary and
justifiable for the welfare of the pro-
vince, for on the whole, the finances
seem to have been wisely administer-
ed. The increase of the indemnity by
$400 is perhaps an exception. As in
the case of individuals, so with
governments—increased expenditure
emphasizes the necessity for increased
revenue, and the Government has de-
cided :--lst a tax of five per cent. on
'all hotel bar receipts of over $40 a day.
Now $40 a day for 310 hotel days in
the year amounts to $12,400.00, so
that unless the bar receipts exceeded
that amount, no tax could be levied.
It will be seen at once, that the mea-
sure will only affect very large towns
and cities, and it appears to be anoth-
er form of "Iligh License". City
Aes hotelkeepers will not approve of it ; as
a matter of fact, none of us love taxes,
and only pay them because they are a
necessity. 2nd—Another source of in-
come is the increase of the railway
tax. As Ontario railways pay less per
mile than railways across the border,
there was room for the increase, and
the corporations will be wise to pay
the increased tax and do no squealing.
3rd—A third source of revenue is the
increase of the tax on Express com-
panies. These have been paying $S00
for the first 400 miles and $125 for each
additional 400 miles. They will now
pay $500 for each 100 miles or fraction
thereof. The express companies have
had no mercy on the public and very
few will regret that they must now
fork over a larger share of their earn-
ings from exorbitant rates for the fin-
ances of the province, Race tracks
are also taxed according to the num-
ber of days races are held. Shares,
bonds, debentures, etc., are to be tax-
ed 2 cents per $100. On the whole,
the new taxes appear to have been
- levied on those who can best afford to
pay them. Of course, no one loves
) taxes, but they are inevitable, and the
best way is to pay them and as Bill-
ings said—"Be thankful things is no
wus."
Bible Class Banquet.
During the past few weeks Dr.
Price's Young Men's Bible Class of
the Methndist Sunday School has been
holding a membership contest with
the result that through the personal
effort of the members and the faithful
work of the teacher, Dr. Price, their
number has greatly increased and now
about eighty names appear on the
roll. To celebrate their success, they
held a banquet on Thursday evening
of last week, in the Sunday School
room. After a business meeting in
the Board room of the church at
Al which class business was discussed, an
II/important item being, the advisability
of supporting a missionary by the
class, they all repaired to the school
room of the church to enjoy the
dainty supper prepared by
some of
the young ladies of the Sunday
School. Over eighty young men sal
down at the tables. When all had
done justice to the good things, the
president, B. A, Hammond, called the
young men to order and the program
proceeded. It consisted of addresses
by Dr. Price on "Our duty to the
Class," 3. A. Morton on "Our duty to
the Chnreb," F. Buchanan, "Our
duty to the Sunday School" and Dr.
Itntledge on "Our duty to God." Mr.
W. J. Greer, President of the Eureka
Bible Class was present and extended
the greetings of that Class to the
sejsa-young men. The musical part of the
program consisted of einging "All
Hail tiroP ower of Jesus Name and
"0 U Canada,y by the class; duet by A.
'Wilford and .T W. Ansley, and a
quartette by E. Hammond, Dr. Price,
11. Hicks and A.Wilford, About
midnight the meeting was brought to
a close, and after the benediction, all
dispersed to their hones, The whole
evening was most enjoyably and pro-
iitably epent and those who had
charge of the arrengenhonts are to be
rongratnlated upon their metes.
The Class extende a cordial invitation
to all young risen, not attending Sun -
to come to f la

On motion of Couns. Bone and Bell
the report was adopted.
The accounts of T. Gregory, wood
for charity, $4, and Thos. Calvert $50
for scavenging were referred by the
Finance committee to the Council and
on motion of Coun's Elliott and Bone
were passed.
The much-discussed Transient Trad-
ers' By-law was again the subject.
This by law was passed some years
ago at the request of the merchants,
and was passed in their interests and
to prevent parties bringing in bank-
rupt stocks and slaughtering them,
without paying some share of taxa-
tion. It has always been felt that in
very many cases, the By-law is unfair,
but no amendment seems available to
suit the case, and the feeling of the
Council was that it should be enforced,
and the Mayor so expressed his de-
termination.
Coun. Bone questioned Lhe legality
of the action of the Commission in ex-
pending the money voted by the peo-
ple for pure water on a certain defin-
ite understanding, on another plan
entirely, and thought the matter
should be investigated,
Corin. Mitchell thought that the
Commissioners should hold their
meetings in the Council room, public-
ly, and not in a private office, and that
the electric light payments should be
made in the Clerk's office and not in
any Bank.
The Mayor agreed with Coun. Mit-
chell ; public tribute should be paid in
a public office, and the meetings of the
Commission should be held regularly
montbly, and open to the public.
Conn. Mitchell moved and' Coun.
McKenzie seconded—That this Coun-
cil direct the Water and Electric
Light Commissioners to report month-
ly before the 10th of the month for the
month preceding, and make a State-
ment to this Council, as required by.
Sec. 47, Chap. '�35,. R. S. O. 1897—
carried.
Coun. Bono moved, seconded by
Coun. Bell—That the Executive Com
nlittee secure legal advice regarding
the sale of waterworks debentures,
and the money being expended on a
system entirely different from that
authorized in the By-law—carried.
Coun. Elliott moved, seconded by
Coun. Hal!—That this Council request
the Commissioners to again have the
Electric Light accounts paid in the
Clerk's office, as when the Clerk was
engaged, it was understood these col-
lections were part of his duty, and
also as a matter of convenience to the
users of electric light—carried,
Coun. Mitchell moved —That this
C.tuncil submit a By-law to the
people, to again place the control of
the electric light in the hands of the
Council. It was felt that this motion
was not opportune and that, if such
By-law was submitted, it should not
be brought before the people until
later in the year at least. The motion
was not seconded,
Mr. Gurney asked the Council to
consider his case. He was absent
from home en Dec, 14th, when his
taxes should have been paid, and
when he returned 5% had been added.
He was refunded the percentage on
motion of Couns. Elliott and Bone.
Coun. McKenzie moved that By-law
No, 012 (Sewer By-Iaw) be amended

Signs Of Spring.
The dirt -stained streets, the soiled
appearance of the "beautiful," the
increasing power of the sun, the
shrinkage of the enowbanks, the
eu,wing of the crows, and the visit of
the Assessor, all remind us that
Spring is corning, One man reports
a "frog" (in his throat probably,)
several have seen the erowe, and we
expect to hear soon of some person
having seen "snakes."
Open For Business.
Ring Bros, opened their store for
business on Saturday, after having
been cloeed for two days, marking
goods down for the great sale now on.
The store will now be known as that
of King Bros., instead of Geo. King
(estate of.) Both the young men are
bright, energetic, business -like, genial,
obliging, and popular with the trading
public. The Advance wishes the
young men success. They have a
large store, good location, big stock,
and should do well.
quart WANTED.—Fifty cords . of

Next Monthly Fair.
Posters have been issued announc-
ing the next monthly fair, to be held
in Wingham, on Friday, March 17th.
Buyers and sellers may thus meet
and do business with each other. The
Town Council is anxious to see these
fairs a success, but points out that
auctioning must not be done on the
streets to impede traffic on the streets
or sidewalks. A large market square
is available at the rear of the Town
Hall, for that purpose. At 2 p. m.
there will be an auction sale in
McOonnel's rooms. Keep the date in
mind,
Predicts Dry Summer.
Prof, Hicks reports that the drouth
which has been tightening its grip
over United States for a year has
not yet reached its severest point.
He says :—"Local floods may visit
some parts during the spring and
early summer, but we warn our read-
ers, and the general public, of increas-
ing dryness and drouth, generally,
during the season of 1911. Pian and`
plant and cultivate and trade with
such probabilities in view, and the
least harm, and the greatest good will
result to all." If Hicks is correct, a
dry summer may be ours in Canada.

Good Citizens Remove.
With the removal of Mr, and Mrs.
Robt. Maxwell on Tuesday Iast from
Wingheen, our town has lost an excel-
lent f Emily, and the Advance only
voices the sentiments of the communi-
ty, when it says, that Mr. and Mrs.
M xwell were among our best citizens
sed their removal is sincerely and uni-
versally regretted. Mr. Maxwell had
been identified with the business in-
terests of Wingham for nearly thir-
teen years, and was upright and hon-
orable in his dealings. The desire for
change of employment from a• sedent-
ary occupation to ono giving more
outdoor exrercise, led him to purchase
a fruit farm in the vicinity of Leam-
ington, and hence he disposed of his
business and property here, and left
this week for his new home. Mr, and
Mrs. Maxwell have. been faithful
workers in St. Andrew's Church, and
their devotion to the interests of the
Church, was recognized on Thursday
evening, when at a social in the
school -room, Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell
were presented with a beautiful oak -
frame leather couch, as a slight token
of esteem, accompanied by the fol-
lowing address :--
To Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell:

Andrew's Church have come to know

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
(By H. S. Reporter.)
Ou Saturday, February 25th, there
passed ast'ay a former clever and suc-
cessful student of Wingham High
School, Miss Edna L Isbister, known
to her schoolmates as "Teddy." After
completing her public school course at
her home school in Morris, Teddy en-
tered the Wingham High School,
where she succeeded in obtaining her
Junior Leaving and part of Senior
Matriculation. She took an active
part in athletics and held different
offices in the Literary Society. Teddy
was a clever debater and acquitted
herself creditably in the oratorical
contest. She entered the Toronto
Normal School in the 1009-10 terns,
but failing health compelled her to
leave before her course was complet-
ed. By her cheerful and generous
disposition Teddy won the love and
esteem of all her fellow -students, who
will miss her as a true friend and lov-
ing companion. Tho family have the
deepest sympathy of all in their be-
reavement.

Romans 15 i 1,
The Wingham Branch of the W. C.
T. U. was organized about three
weeks ago with a membership of
about sixty, and has had two regular
meetings since then ; the last one
being on Tuesday, Feb, 28, when there
were about forty members present.
Our worthy president, Mrs. A, Ross
occupied the chair. The meeting was
a very interesting one. It was decid-
ed that the next meeting would be
held in the Chisholm Block, on Tues-
day, March 14th at three o'clock.
Iu connection with the Branch here
already a number of gentlemen have
tc,ken membership. In this case,
however, the membership is honorary
and most of the privileges are extend-
ed to them ; the one exception being
that of voting. It is hoped, however,
that the usual magnanimity of the
gentlemen will prevail to the extent
that a large number of our best citi-
zens will seek membership in the
Union.
Since our last meeting one of our
noble sisters, Miss K, M, Fisher, has
been called to her reward. We shaIl
miss, her, but not soon forget her.
Her amiable disposition, her generous
spirit, her nobleness of purpose, her
singleness of aim, her self sacrifice and
devotion to the cause of, not only
temperance, but everything that per-
tained to the best interests of our
town, - must live in many hearts
throughout the future days. We
mourn for her as one though dead, yet
liveth. There is no doubt that she
has heard the Master say, "Well
done."

is hoped that all the friends of the
Army will show in this tangible way,
their appreciation of their good
work.
Rev. Herbert Macy, pastor of the
Congregational Church in Newington,
Connecticut, has had the following
printed in Church calendar :—"Bles-

morning, for they get to Church on
time. Blessed are those who get to
church on time, for they arrive in the
spirit of worship. Blessed are those
who are never late, for they cause the
minister and choir to love them.
Blessed are those who must be late,
but who do not enter during the
Scripture lesson or prayer. Blessed
are those who come even at the
eleventh hour, but church begins at
quarter before eleven."
