The Wingham Advance, 1907-05-02, Page 44 THE WINGHAM ADVANCE ---- THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1907 SUITS ! There are a great many kinds of Suits, and it would take too long to go into detail. But the SUIT THAT SUITS is the one made by MAXWELL & HILL. There is also a difference in Tailor-made Suits and TAILOR-MADE SUITS. Every suit on the market is in a sense tailor-made, but the phrase is sometimes mis- leading. The only truly tailor-made suit is the one made by the individual, made by hand and fashioned into shape, instead of being rushed through what we call a "sweat- shop," from one machine to another, without any real tailoring being done on it ; and the material inside is not intended to keep the garment in shape any longer than to sell it. We have the lines and styles of material that will interest anyone who is wanting an up-to-date Suit. We always keep in touch with the latest New York styles, although we do not advocate extremes in style, but leave that to the customer. We are here to make YOUR SUIT TO SUIT. OUR MEN'S FURNISHINGS DEPT. Is filled with good things for Men and Boys. We wish just to mention a few lines, such as—HATS, SHIRTS, TIES, GLOVES, UNDERWEAR. We have the ELLIS SPRING NEEDLE RIBBED 'UNDERWEAR. This underwear is different from all others, because the spring needle ribbed machines on which the Ellis fabric is made are the only ones used in Canada. We handle this make.

As an achievement in appropriating public money this will go down to history as without a paral- lel. It almost takes a fellow's breath. It is said that "money talks," The usual talkers must have been remark- ably quiet, to get so much through in so short a time. * —The Ontario Government deserves the thanks of the people for its efforts to solve the school book problem. The report of the Text Book Commission has been issued, and it shows that the public have had to pay at least two prices for school books. An amend- ment to the Education Act permits all firms to publish Public School readers, with the consent of the Government. The improvement on the situation, however, consists in the fact that the license to use copyrighted selections in the books are by the measure vest- ed in the Department of Education. This removes one of the factors which placed the business of publishing text- books in the hands of a chosen few, by enabling them to oppose all those desiring to acquire the right to pub- lish the copyrighted selections. —The Kincardine Review has the following:—"What the Whitney gov- ernment has done for the province is developing every day. When they came into power the O'Brien mine at Cobalt was in private hands. The man whose name it bears was a Com- missioner of the T. & N. 0. R'y, and he and several other officials had used their positions to blanket some of the best sections. The Whitney govern- ment attacked their claims, and a long and uncertain lawsuit closed in a com- promise by which the O'Brien syndi- cate agreed to pay 25% royalty on the output of the mine. What is the re- sult? The O'Brien mine paid into the Ontario treasury last week the sum of $39,406 as its share of the value of nine cars of ore shipped from the mine between January 1st and March 15th. If this keeps up the province will re- ceive from that mine a quarter of a million dollars a year, as the ship- ments will increase in the summer time. This is "found money" for the province, in the sense that had the late government which granted the claims to O'Brien remained in power, the province would not receive a cent of this money." WAGE EARNERS OF CANADA. involving an expenditure of $15,0('0, There are further supplementary esti- mates of chant a million dollars looked for; there is a vote of .$50,0„0 toward the relief of Jamaica, sufferers ; there is an amount of at least $50,000 to be spent in supplying the new w estern provinces with judicial niaclainel y ; and there is finally the payment of in- creased bounties to on estimated total of $2,500,000. That gives a grand total of $134,530,179. If this immense sum is divided by the population, it will give the amount levied ou each man, woman and child in the Dominion ; this will be found to be about $23.00. The Toronto News, in the course of an article dealing fully with the ques- tion, estimates the receipts of the year at ninety millions, and predicts that upon the actual estimates it will be necessary to add $40,000,000 to the debt. The News further says that be- tween renewing debts maturing this year and contracting new loans to meet expenditure, our Finance De- partment will be busy this year on the London market. It will have the task of raising anywhere from $30,- 000,000 to $50,000,000, A blue book issued by the Bureau of Census and Statistics contains tables which show the number of persons employed in different callings, with their earnings. The tables include every one over 16 years of age, except in the manufacturing class, where 15 years is the minimum. The average wage is $387.16 for males, and $181.98 for females. Trade and transportation pay $803.22, as opposed to an average of $876.88 for professions, for each man employed. The total number of wage-earners is 814,930, and the total wage is $288,534,850. Eighty-one out of every hundred earners are males. The average earnings of males in manufacturing are $403.14; in agri- culture, $207.75; domestic service, $272.46. The average salary for male teachers in all Canada is $486, and for female teachers $245. Female housekeepers, laundresses, nurses, midwives, char and washer- women and sextons are better paid than female teachers in Quebec, while ranch foremen, farm superintendents, garden and nursery managers, hotel employes and foremen in many trades are better paid than male teachers in Ontario. :4. THE DOMINION EXPENDITURE. (Toronto Telegram.) Ottawa, April 20th.—The Laurier Government is spending this year in round figures one hundred and thirty to one hundred and thirty-five millions of dollars, the sort of generosity of expenditure that you meet with in an election year. The main estimate this year reached a grand total of $103,689,519. The first supplementaries totalled $2,105,105, nominally to cover expenditures in 1906, but it must be remembered that these rounding -off votes come every year. The supplementaries brought down April 10th amount to $10,941,555. The House is also voting some $3,500,800 of railway subsidies, and a Montreal har- bor "loan" of three millions. There is no suggestion that this "loan" shall ever be repaid so far as principal is concerned. The harbor dues furnish interest at the modest rate of three per cent. Atlother loan of $6,678,200 is to be made to the Quebec Bridge and Railway Company at the same modest rate, and this loan likewise will never be repaid, the intention of the Govern- ment being to take over the Quebec bridge in connection with the National Transcontinental Hallway. There is also a eutsllsr bridge project in Moist A FARMER'S QUESTION. The Advance clips the following from the St, Thomas Times of April 20, referring to Dr. Chisholm's fifth speech in the House of Commons, on "Cold Storage" A discussion of great interest to farmers ,was introduced in the House of Commons by B. D. Smith, M. P. for Wentworth, who demanded grea- ter attention from the Department of Agriculture to cold storage transpor- tation for perishable products. Mr. Smith pointed out many defects in the equipment now supposed to be pro- vided on ocean steamships for the pro- tection and preservation of dairy pro- ducts, meats and fruit. He dwelt also upon the necessity of a complete chain of cold storage outfit during land and water transportation from the pro- ducer in Canada to the consumer in Great Britain. Mr. Armstrong of Latnbton, and Dr. Chisholm of Huron, continued the dis- cussion, showing the enormous loss to the farmers and fruit growers through the destruction of tender fruits and other perishable articles, which might find a good market if suitable cool transportation was avail- able. Mr. Armstrong spoke also of the great financial loss inflicted on the Canadian fruit grower by the closing of the German market to the Cana- dian products. Dr. Chisholm on this occasion, as several times before, set forth with great force and clearness, the enor- mous advantage it would be to higher agriculture in Canada if a complete and adequate storage and transporta- tion system were devised. The opinion prevails that the Minister of Agricul- ture is giving too much attention to spectacular administration and not enough to systematical and practical development of the policy which his experts recommend. 6 —Several of the farms in Keppel township have been leased to oil and natural gas. Several farms in the northern section in the neighborhood of Wiarton have been leased for this purpose and drilling for natural gas is to commence at once.
