Hughes'• spectacular (extravagance. ( The net visible result of it all, apart from personal enjoyment, is a report from General Hamilton recommending the purchase of enormous amounts of munitions of war, a large increase of Canada's militia army and the enrolling of every man in Canada for emergency calls; also some fancy pictures of Gen. Hamilton at a picnic of the Toronto Tories, wearing a huge Conservative badge: "Borden and our Empire." No doubt Col. Hughes has enjoyed a pleasant summer.

ELLIOTT, PUBLISHER AND PROPIETOII THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1913 FIGURES FOR FARMERS. Col. the Ikon. Sam. Hughes and his party of twenty-three officers, a score of more of ladies, a brace of lady sec- retaries and other attendants, have re- turned from their invasion of Europe. The expenses of the tour far exc-ed Col. Hughes' famous $4 ),11( 0 special train jaunt across the continent with Gen. Ian Hamilton. The results seem to have been pleasantfor these Military "Innocents Abroad." Col. Hughes went to Germany and found a kindly feeling towards Canada and much more amicable sentiments towards Great Britain. He also discovered that in Great Britain considerable interest was taken in Canada. He was asked to preside, in full uniform, at a dinner, and was treated quite nicaly by a num- ber of dukes and other brilliant person- ages. Attended by his "brilliant staff' he also visitad various m inoeuvres in such countries as offer the most inter- esting tourist advantages. Wherever they went, the gold plated brigade was properly furnished up to reflect the glory of Canada and her War Minister. There can be little doubt that the Chancelleries of Europe have been impressed bj this peaceful but glitter- ing demonstration of Canada's glory. From the Canadian farmer's point of view the demonstration does not work out so satisfactorily. Between his trip across the continent with General Hamilton and a number of favored friends, this circus parade round Europe with its sparkling male and female entourage and other little jaunts, Col. Sam. Hughes, as Canada's War Minis- ter, has travelled over 50,000 miles this summer and has spent well over $100,- 000 on these thinly veiled pleasure trips. The ordinary farmer with 100 acres of land does not average a profit of more than $500 a year, Col. Hughes has "blown in" the annual profit of 200 farmers on his summer wanderings. The average price of wheat in Canada Capital Paid Up $3,000,000. Reserve $3,750,000. Total Assets Over $42,000,000. Your Successful Friends THOSE envied boyhood companions of yours who have made a success in the business world, probably made their own fortunes by systematic saving. When their :opportunities arrived, the accumulated savings were large enough to take advantage of them. 1 Fl,3w successes are attain- ed without money to the man with a savings account many things are possibl3. Without further delay you should open an account with this bank. One dollar is enough. Make saving a habit; and your regular de- posits, to-gether with the interest it will earn, will build up your b skit •.e i a a sutprisingly short time. C P. SMITH Manager, Whisk em EDITORIAL NOTES The 'white plume" is still a factor. The Conservative press should not jeer at Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who is Canada's Grand Old Man. Premier Borden has gone south for six weeks' rest, on the order of his physician. Hon. Geo. E. Foster is to be acting Premier in his absence. East Middlesex by-election for the Ontario legislature seat vacant through the death of Geo. W. Neely will be held on the 27th instant, nominations on the 20th. Le Canada, Liberal, says: "The result in South Bruce is a personal triumph for Sir Wilfrid Laurier, whose politics are the same in all parts of Canada." J. R. Fallis, Conservative, was elect- ed to the Ontario Legislature for Peel country, his opponent, A. H. Milner, Liberal, pulling the majority down from 7111 to 373, one polling subdivision yet to be heard from. "Outside of its leaders and their policy the Liberal party seems to be all right."-Wingham Advance. Sever- al of the Liberal leaders addressed the electors of South Bruce. The result shows that the leaders must be "all right." Le Devoir, Nationalist, says: "The result in South Bruce shows that the Government cannot rely upon a solid vote in the sister province. It is also a protest of Germans in Canada of the use of the `German peril' for politi- cal purposes here." "No Real Significance in the South Bruce Election Result," is the large - type declaration of The Toronto News. Perhaps not, in some quarters. There are always those who cannot see the handwriting on the wall. The News would not have to struggle hard to con- vince itself that there was no election at all in South Bruce. -Toronto Globe. The customs returns show that from the first of October to the 30th nearly 7,000 head of Canadian cattle have passed through the Sarnia tunnel en route to the big packing houses in Chi- cago. The exact number of head is 6,780, which, if stood in line single file, would reach for twelve miles. Besides this from ten to fifteen cars of dressed beef are shipped through daily from Chicago to the Montreal district. The Montreal Daily Mail, Indepen- dent Conservative, says: "Whatever the local conditions in South Bruce, a German vote hostile to the naval cor.- tribution-a Scottish vote, by heredity, hostile to the Conservatives -the result will make the Ottawa authorities 'sit up and take notice.' And this will do no harm -rather will benefit follow. The fact that Sir Wilfrid has gone to the sister province and lifted a To.y scalp will give him more prestige in Quebec. Next by-election here,'we may expect to hear the rallying cry of `Do as well by me as the men of South Bruce.' " Mr, Borden's motto is "Canada Can't." Australia's:motto is "Aus- tralia Can and Does." New Zealand's is "We can and we will." Sir Wilfrid Laurier declared at Teeswater on the 28th -"We are 'growing as a national people, and as a national people we are preparing to undertake all the. duties and responsibilities which a )re tarn to the people. We are pre- , pared to take our share to relieve IEngland of the necessity of defending us." Which will Canada prefer, the hopelessness of Mr. Borden, or the clear cut confidence of Sir' Wilfrid Laurier? Has anyone noticed any deterioration in Canadian loyalty during the past few weeks? Has no word come from those inspired pocket -book patriots, Z. A. Lash, Sir Edmund Walker and the other members of the "Noble 18," who two years ago told the poor Canadians that if our trade ever moved North or South the Union Jack would soon be blotted off the map of North America? From every side come reports of im- mense shipments of meat, cattle, fish, dairy products and other necessaries of life to the States, with resultant higher prices for the Canadian consumer. wh• gets what is left. Yet when the Duke i of Connaught came back on [the 25th, ( he was given just as loyal a greeting as t rough not an extra chicken had been shipped to the States. The silence of the flag -flappers just now is only equal- led by the demands for relief from the consumer and the grain growers, both eager for wider markets, THE DOMINION BANK eta EDMUND D. OSLER.

The annual meeting of the sharehold- ers of the Wingham Hospital Company was held in the Council Chamber on Wednesday evening of last week, with the President, Richard Clegg presiding. The reports presented showed that the Hospital had closed another successful year. The Directors report was adop- ted and was as follows: Wingham, Ont., Oct. 29th, 1913. To The Officers and Shareholders of the Wingham General Hospital. Gentlemen; - In presenting to you the report of the Directors of the Hospital for the year 19I2 - 13. we are pleased to report that the Hospital has had another successful year, having had a greater number of patients, a total of 154( against 122 in 1011 and 135 in 1912,) with a total number of days for adults 2578. The Hospital has given free service to all who could not pay for mainten- ance and to any others who could only pay the minium charge of 70 cents per clay. These have been helped along and have received the care and treat- ment which they could not have had, had it not been for our Hospital having been established here in Wingham. We have been greatly assisted in the management of the Hospital through the superintendent, Miss Mathews, who has given every detail closest attention. The staff at the present time consists of the Superintendent, two Nurses in training in their second year, and three in their first year, one domestic, one woman in the laundry and a care -taker. Previous to this year, the term of service of nurses in training, was two years after three months of probation, but your Board, on the recommenda- tion of the Superintendent, has changed the term from a two year to a three year course. We think that with the experience of a three year term, it will give better service to the patients and will better qualify the nurses for private nursing. The graduation excercises of this year's class took place in the Town Hall, Nov. 5th. when Miss Imlay, Miss Peddle and Miss Wood were presented with their diplomas. Mr. A. H. Mus- grove, Honorary President, occupied the chair and the meeting was addressed by the Clergymen of the town, the Hall being filled by a large and appreciative audience. We are very sorry to have to report the death during the year of one of our Directors, Mr. John Wilson. Mr. Wil- son was a valued member of the Board, he having always taken a great inter- est in the Hospital, and his presence a -id genial manner ato rr meeting have , been mush missed by ail. We feel that nit only has the Hospital lost one of its best director's, but the town has also lost a good citizen. For the past two years we have felt the necessity of an additional room, more particularly as a tnaternity ward and this year we decided to build a wing to the present building. We had archi- .: are usually thin and easily worried, sleep does not refresh and the sysi!em gradu- ally weakens from insufficient nourishment. Scott's Emulsion corrects nervousness by its farce of con- centrated medical nourishment -it restores the•heakhy action of body cells, enriches the blood, sharpens the appetite, and feeds the mere centres by distributing energy a n d power all over the body. Ddn't resort to akoholic mixtures or drug concoctions that Stimulate and stupefy. Get a bottle ,of Scott'. Emulsion for your ner res -nothing equals or compares with it, but insist on Scott's. avdtY Dteutat fr HAS tT menteamminsimmomemammamiI,i< li tects, Messrs. Stevens & Lee of Toron- to, to prepare plans and give us specifi- cations for a three storey addition to the main building and other improve- ments which would provide new sleep- ing apartments for the nurses. The ac- commodation at present is not at all suitable and we have had this year .to rent apartments for the night nurses to sleep during the day. We also had provision made for an isolation ward, as the Government regulations now make it compulsory for all Hospi- tals receiving Government aid to take in contagious and tubercular cases. To raise money for this addition, we solicited subscriptions principally from outside sources, having written hun- dreds of letters to different parts of Canada and other countries. To these we had a very liberal response, in fact more so than'we could have expected. From this source and other do.snations we received about $1500.00. Thinking thin was not sufficient funds we deferred building operations till next year and hope during the present winter to be able to double this amount, so we may be in .a position by Spring to commence this work. After deciding to build, we felt it was necessary that we'should have an entrance to the Hospital from Car- ling street, which we provided for by purchasing the Webster lot directly behind the building. Since then we have secured the adjoining lot to the South, from Mr. Currie, after which Dr. Kennedy very generously donated his property to the North facing on Catherine Street, which gives us a square block right through from Car- ling Terrace to Catherine Street. This will give us ample room when the addi- tion is built and will give splendid grounds as a surrounding. • We wish to thank all those who so generously donated to this fund and for Hospital maintenance, to our Town Council for their annual grant with an additional $I00.00 towards the new building and to the County Council for their yearly subscription. Our thanks are also due to The Ladies Auxiliary for the interest they take in the work of the institution and for their continued liberal assistance towards the upkeep of supplies, etc , they have at all times been a great help to the Board in look- ing after these necessities. As chairman, I am pleased to say the business of the meetings has always been the most pleasant, and the work has been made light by the cheerful and willing assistance of all the mem- bers. R. CLEGG, Chairman. Directors for the year were elected as follows: Richard Clegg, R. Van - stone, Dr. A. J. Irwin, Dr. R. C. Red- mond, Dr. J. P. Kennedy, Wm. Fessant J. A. McLean, Thos. C. King and H.
