We are sure thankful for it. We are all quite well, trusting this may find you all hearty, and with kind regards, I am yours truly. Edwin L. Wightman, Get the Community Spirit In conversation with the traveller for printing from the apparently popular jolt printing house of Torento and London, on Friday, he said he believed he would come and live in Wingham or in Kincardine. He claims he does more busiriess in those towns than in any other of their size up this way. In fact in one town he never gets an order. The factories and business men are so loyal to their printers that they utterly ignore anything which he may say to induce them to buy. There are a few men in Wingham who absolutely ignore travellers selling printing, but there are a great many who apparently do not appreciate the fact that we pay taxes in town and. boost for the town year in and year out. The Advance guarantees as neatly printed a job on a better quality stock and at as reasonable a price as any of these city foreflushers can The Advance sent out a large ramie ber of subscription accouats and the response has been very gratifying in- deed, A few have not paid up their subscriptions and to these we wish to ask for prompt payment. A $2.00 ace cotfat is easier to pay than, a $6 or $8 one,..aftel it is easier for us to give you the best possible in newspaper. One lady, Mrs. Frost of Vineland, has tak- en a very fooligh idea into her head to heat the poor printer out of his money, but we are going to make a test case out of it and take it to court. For seven years she has taken the pa- per from the post office and never cared if we had any motley to pay for the paper awl ink or not. Now when we have the nerve to ask her to pay she claims she never was a subscriber as she took the paper against her wishes. There is it law that protects newspaper men from such people, and it says deeidedly "if you take the pa- per away from the post office, or ac- cept it from a mail carrier from week to week that you must pay, no matter who sent the paper to you, if the sub- scription price has not been paid." The editor does not wish to send the paper where it is not wanted, but after a person accepting it for so long without hinting to us that it was not welcome, we are inclined to make an exatriple of this case, and itt ao doing We will have the backiiig of the Can- ada Weekly Press Association, SOCIAL SERVICE COUNCIL Huron County Social Service Council Hears Warning from President 5. A. Irwin, Clinton, in his Presid- ential address at the annual meeting of the Huron County Social Service Council held on Wednesday last in Exeter, said that, in view of the recent defeat of the temperaiace forces in Manitoba and the possibilty of anoth- er in Alberta, he felt convinced that there would be a demand for a vote in Ontario in the near future, and ur- ged the necessity of a thorough organ- ization of the temperance forces throughout the Province, such as would make the possibility of defeat very remote. , The public dance balls he charac- terized as the prolific' source of the worst villainy and the greatest exist- ing menace to the morals of the corn- munity. He also called for a bettor observance of the Lord's Day, and ur- gecl the necessity of 'preserving sacred this one day in seven. • The Field Secretary, A. T. Cooper of Clinton, reviewed the work of the year, showing the various activities of the Council in the matter of assisting the officers in a strict' and impartial enforcement of the 0. T. A. and other temperance laws now in force. He urged greater restriction. of the manu- facture and exportation of wines and liquors for .beverage purposes, and quoted 'Provincial officers as saying that much of the liquor seized during the year was liquor that had .been made for export. Resolutions -were passed referring to the necessity of discontinuing the manufacture of native wines arid strong liquors and the exportation of same for beverage purposes, better conterel - of public dance halls, Sabbath obser- vance, and stricter penalties for viola- tions of the temperance laws.
