Out California Letter.
Dear Editor t --
It may be that your cempoeitors,
your readers and even the Editor are
growing weary ot our noted trout rhea
messy clime. If eu, the mote basket
ie near you, and yuu way condign tots
lotto. to its depthe, there to mingle
with spring poems, obituary poetry (?)
and other literary effort* rejected oy
the presiding niub of the effitoriai
SAUCIUM.
Clelifox.nia is having a moist delight-
ful winter, and a Cautidian if he
dropptti down here, would certainly
be surprised. He would bee the orauge
groves laden with their golden f laic,
vegetable gardens productive, ft Item,
in profusion, barley, crate, and other
grain crepe nearly a foot high, and the
city parks bowers of beeuty. If he
eribited "Vista Grande" (the Hall
ranch) he would be likely to find the
ex.editor working outside In the
garden or around the orange trees, in
his shirt bleeves.
The orange crop this year is a nor-
mal one, notwithstanding the injury
the trees received last wiuter from the
heavy frost,such aa never before visited
this section of the State. Danger from
frobt is now past, and I have not
heard of May "einudging" being done.
Some ranchers have made one picking
of the Opera ; others have not begun ;
others again will not begin until
February, as they are none too ripe
yet. One of our neighbors, who has
50 awesof the fluit, sold his on the
time for $1 75 per 100 poundrepurch-
user to do the picking. At this price,
his bauk account will be increased
many thousand dollars, as he showed
me some trees that wilt yield eight to
twelve boxes of 80 lbe. each. The
same trees, or at leaut sonic of them
gave 15 boxes each in past seasone.
Etirnates have been made of the
orange crop of the State. al 50,000 car-
oads, and the va,lue at $25,000,000. but
all the crop will not be mai keted for
several months, as the Valencia
oranges do not ripen as soon as the
navels.
As a change from so muay sunny
days, we have had beveral rainy, days,
just the kind that Californians delight
to see. Since Noventher 1st, thirteen
inches of rain have fallen, or about
twice the rain -fall up to this date last
year. These plentiful rains ensure an
abundance of watetefor irrigation pur-
poses during the dry and rainlese
euttonfr months. One pleasing fea-
ture of California is the rapidity with
which the ground abeorbs the rain
and dries up, eo that muddy roads are
practically unknown, and within a
few hours after a heavy rain vehicles
and pedestrians can travel with com-
fort. For instance, last Saturday
night and Sunday, biX and one-half
inches of rain fell by actual mearure-
meot, and yet on Monday, the roads
wee in good trim. Good roads are a
special feature of Southern California,
and the automobile bottle verd s
throughout the country would delight

dente to the Antelope Valley, thus
bringing that section of country into
market touch with the two chief cities
of Southern California, and at the
same time opening to tourists and
autos, a scenic boulevaid of over 30
miles in length. This road will run
along the weet side of the Hall ranch,
which will then have a good road on
three sides, and a projected street on
the remaining side.
Perhaps I ought to give your read-
ers a description of the beautitul city
of Pasadena, the gem of the San
Gabriel Valley, but this time I that'
content myself with a well -worded
paragraph recently clipped from one
of the city dailies. Here it is :—
"Pasadena. the Crown of t he Valley,
as its name signifies, lies ruperb in its
beauty; also incomparable in its
climatic conditiona, and ideally pic-
turerque scenery. On the north lies a
noble mountain range. Against its
breast hangs an opalise •veil of im
niaculate loveliness, a back ground
magnificent and stately for the ver-
dant valley at its foot, and a lie
sentinel to gusad a lovely city's gates.
Above it, bend skies of azure through
which filters the golden Eunehino,
beneficent and health -giving, and for-
ever alluring. Uoder these benign
ekiee, amidst such lovely surroundings,
should be nurtured a splendid city,
with s, population filled with high
ideals Squeater ehould be ever un-
known and the degradation of critne
unheard of."
'Now we sutrait Mr. Editor that the
above is a well written paragrapb,
certainly better than the ex -editor
could write, and Pasadena is worthy
of it.
By the way, recent valuations allow
that the County of Los Augeles will
peon enter the billionaire claire, Its
assessed valuation is more than 750
million dollars, ad is away altered of

NURSERY RHYMES UP TO DATE

THE SCOTT ACT VIEW
Sing a song a sixpence,
Wave the banner high,
Four and thirty bare closed
Old Huron has gone dry.
When the bare were open,
The barkeep was the king,
Drove the fastest horses,
And wore a diamond ring.
Now he'll in the Townehips,
Earning honeet money,
The land be tills, like Canaan
Flows rich with milk and honey.
Ere another Christmas
Brings its frost and snows,
The children of the drinker
Will have more food and clothes.
THE LICENSE VIEW
Sing a song of six pence,
A pocket full of rye,
No more licensed biterciotus,
But drinking on the ely.
When the bars were open,
I used to laugh and wing,
I took my little tipple,
As happy as s. king.
I always earned good wages,
And never missed the money,
I took an honest glass of ale,
Or wine that's bright and sunny.
Now a flask of dead shot
Is always in my clothes,
And birds that look for cherries
Are roosting on my nos..

The above is & photograph of the
Rev. Edgar EL Croly, B. A, the highly
esteemed and much respected rector
of St. Paul's Church, who on Sunday
last comnienced his fifth year. Not
only the members of his lawn congre-
gation, but the citizens at large, are
delighted to know that Mr. Oroly has
greatly improved in health. Rev. Mr.
Croly is the thirteenth rector of the
Church of England, in.Wingham, and
only two others, viz. the late Rev
Wva, Davis and Rev. Win. Lowe, have
remained longer than he. It is the
earnest wide of all that Mr. Croly's
health vvill long permit him to engage
in the work to which he has coneecrat-
ed his life.
Business Change.
Mr. Alfred Taylor has purchased the
t tiloring business carried on by Mr,
Orval Taylor.
Auction Sale.
Mr. D. S. Scott, East Wavvanosh,
will hold an auction sale of his farm
stock and implements on March 4th.
As Mr. Scott has sold his farm, every-
thing will be sold without reserve.

Band Concert.
The Wingham Citizens' Band will
give a high class concert in the Opera
House on Thursday, Feb. 12tb. The
last concert the boys held was highly
appreciated by all present and the
corning one gives promise of being
still better. A good house will no
doubtgreet the band and encourage

Wingham's Oldest Voter.
Oa Tuesday Mat, the first citizen to
poll Ms vote in Ward No 3 was Mr.
Arthur Knox, father of Mrs. J. E
Swarte. Mr. Knox is ninety-three
years of age and probably the oldest
man to poll his vote in the county if
Huron. Although having reached the
ripe old age of ninety-three, Mr. Knox
Is still as alert physically. as many
men thirty to forty yearn younger,
and mentally he is rarely equalled.
As a student of Epglish history, Mr:
Knox in without a peer, in this local-
ity. The Advance hopes that Mr.
Knox will be spared to s,t least round
out the century.
Success Jim!
We understand that the many
friends of Mr. Jas. Kir ton of Turn berry
have urged him to stand for election,
as direetor for the township of Turn -
berry in the Howick Fire Insurance
Co. Some few years ago Mr. 'Orton
was urged to atand, but withdrew in
favour of a neighbor, and now that
the position is again open, his friends
feel that he should be elected. If Mr.
Ei.ton is elected to this position,
Tut nherry policy holders as well as
tho.e of other niunicipalities will be
well represented. The Advance wish-
es him every success.
Palmerston vs Wingham.
Playing to the form which they have
displayed during their last few games,
Friday evening, in a hard fought
ettuggle, Wingharn defeated Palmer-
ston by a score of 11 4. They won the
game on their merits and each man on
the local team put up a good game.
The ica wits good, and the game was
clean and swift throughout. At half
time the score atood 4 3 in favour of
Palmerston, but the home team wak-
ened up after that, and the result was
a score of 11-1 in favor of Wingham.
Mr. Hacking of Listowel acted se
referee and filled his position to the
satisfaction of all. Come and see the
Wingham boys play Mount Forest,

HURON COUNTY
Piles up tt Majority 0( 2628 for
The Canada Temperance Act
By an overwhelnaing majority the
citizens of Huron have exprepsed
therneelves itt favor of a dry county.
The Scott Act will pot come *tato force
until May 1st, 1915, but the Hon, W.
Hatnia is reported to have eaid that
the licenses will be cancelled on May
irt, 1914. Tlaerefore from May let,
1914 to May 1st, 1915, Hurou will be
unlicensed territory, and as such, the
law' will be rigidly enforced, by the
Provincial Secretary's Dept, ef the
Onterio Government. Tnere seems to
be some doubt es to the enforcement
of the Scott Aet, but whatever imped-
iment is in the way, should be removed
during the next year and three months.
There is plenty of time to have the
naatter set right; Toe Owed% Tem-
perance Act must be enforced. The
people have stated by a large majority
that they want it, and it would be a
most peculiar thing in a With& Coun-
try to admit that lave could not be en-
forced. Other laws are enforced and
the Canada Temperance Ant should M -
ed be rigidly enforced. The Advance
believes that the vast majority of
those, who have been connected with
the hotel business in the county of
Huron. will acuept the verdict of the
people and respect the act. All good
citizens will respect a law once passed,
and those who do not respect it are
had citizens, and ilhould be compelled
to do so,' It is the duty of all, no mat-
ter how they voted, now that the fight
Is over, to assist in having the Cana-
da Temperance Act carried out to the
letter.
The following is the vote:
