The Wingham Advance, 1912-10-31, Page 141ST YEAR, NO, 9, EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS. ANNUAL MEETING • WINUIIAM GENERAL HOSPITAL. —Over two million dollars have been raised for the benefit of the survivors and families of those who were lost on the ill-fated Titanic. There are 2,206 claimants, and it is proposed to pay annuities, ranging in minimum from $3 a week to $5, and in maximum from $10 to $12, in ac- cordance with the character of the case and the number of children These annuities are for life, except in case of remarriage and upon the chil- dren reaching a certain age, —There is considerable of truth in the following, by a writer in a United States religious paper :— "Nature has given us a bumper crop—nothing like it iu recent years, In reason prices should lessen. But nature, having finish- ed her work, will probably be dis, missed and a few self-appointed men will put the price -tag on the heaven -given fruit and grain. Nature can never have her per- fect way." * * * —There were two elections for the Legislature on Monday last, East Mid- dlesex and North Waterloo. In neith- er of these could a Liberal candidate be found. In East Middlesex, a dis- gruntled Conservative, with a personal grievance opposed the Conservative candidate and posed as an Indepen- dent, and the Liberal leader endorsed his candidature. At the last election the riding went Liberal by 25 ; on Monday, it went Conservative by 551. North Waterloo also went Conserva- tive by 1300 ; this was expected. f" —The Dominion Alliance reports that seventy contests are likely to take place for Local Option in Janu- ary next. One feature that is re- markable is the fewness of repeal con- tests, Last year, of 178 places where repeal contests were possible, voting only took place in 15, and in one of these the attempt to repeal was suc- cessful. This year there are 240 pos- sible repeal contests, but it is not like- ly that in 10 per cent. of these, will the issue be brought before the elec- tors. Repeal contests, however, will be brought on in a number of places Amongst these being the towns of Galt, Orangeville and Strathroy. * * * —The movement to secure to muni- cipalities the right to exempt improve- ments to a certain extent from tax- ation, appears to be gaining ground. Up to the present four hundred muni- cipalities have expressed their wish for an amendment of this description. Such an amendment would mean that a greater measure of taxation would be put upon the land value which is created by the community, and less upon the buildings and improvements which represent individual effort and expenditure. It fines the vacant Iot held for increased value, and it re- wards the labor and enterprise of the man who puts land to its rightful use as a site for building. It is hoped by advocates of the change that Premier Whitney will introduce a measure pointing in this direction. —Writing in the Canadian Munici- pal Journal, Miss Stella Wright says ;— Two subjects, connected with city Iife, will always interest those who care for children and their welfare, When one considers that in Montreal alone one young life out of every four dies before reach- ing the age of twelve months, one is compelled to ask the reason of this limiting of the potentiality of of the city's future, particularly as many authorities assert, that it Is preventable. The appalling fact was recently brought home to the citizens that close on 6000 babies were sacrificed each year in Mon- treal to the ignorance of mothers, the stupidity of the authorities and the rapacity of landlords. —Very little has been said about the important gathering held recently in Lethbridge, Alberta. The Conven- tion was International in its repre- sentation and aims. Seven foreign countries, fifteen States, and four Provinces of Canada have exhibits. One exhibit came from Jerusalem, and another from Mina. Ono of the chief events in the Congress was the competition for a $2,500 farm engine, for the best wheat grown under dry farntieg conditions. This Wad* won by I.I. Holmes, of Raymond, Alta. There were 200 competitors. Atten- tion was drawn to the fact that eight judges who made the award were not confined to one country, but four were from the Visited States end four from Canada, and the award was tinani- irrmoue. The arid regions of the Oana- West W andof the Western States (sorre at least) only lack water, to make theta fruitful plains. Much of Southern California was once a deeert, but now under irrigation, is a verit* ablet5 arden of fruit and ftoweieM �r The titre le coming wheat ase predicted iii the Good Book, the "desert shall bloegoin to the rose."

I thus may save my household hoard These days when dollars' wings are fleet, And live as well as any lord Upon the cheaper cuts of meat. Alas, I found this all tdo true, When I to purchase did essay; The butchers read those pages, too— They've raised the price with art delay 1 No fruit the frugal counsels yield, My disappointment is complete, The bitter truth is naw` revealed, There are no "cheaper cuts of meat I Football Meeting.

An Enterprising Firm, The Advance has received from th Crescent Land Co, of Winnipeg, descriptive booklet of the growin city of Winnipeg. It is one of the bes of the kind that we have seen for som time, and the illustrations of Win nipeg's streets, buildings and su roundings are beautifully printed. A young man, a former resident of Wingham, Mr, N, P. Greer, at one time in the Dominion Bank, is one of the members of the Crescent Land Co,, and is doing well in that growing city. The advt, of the firm appears on an- other page. The booklet gives a good idea of the "Gateway of the West". a, a. G. G. 0. 0. That is six G's, or points in poultry husbandry, on which stress was laid by the Missouri Hen and Cow Special last spring, and alliteratively ar- ranged as follows :---1--"Grit--with which to grind the food, 2—"Grains" —corn, wheat and oats and a dry mash made of the same foods ground. 3--"'Greens"--ground alfalfa, clover, cowpeaa, beets or cabbage. 4— "Grubs"—dry beef scrape, skim or buttermilk, or meat food. 5—"Gump- tion"—the use of common sense in all your operations, 6—"Good care" was the fourth essential, a willingness to work, and the ability to hatch and rear chickens. If any one fact was made plainer than another, it was that you must keep your houses and premises absolutely clean." pt J.J 31tI 'Tl0N K1��W sa $Uaeo i, s U O, Suicide After Funeral. e A sad affair happened in LIullett on a Wednesday of last week, After at- g tending the funeral of Mr. John G. t Moore, Mr. John McBrien of the base e line, 1$ullett went home and hung - himself, He had been troubled with. r- melancholy for some time ; he was 59 years of age.

The man Lived alone, and had not been right in his mind for some time. He is surviv- ed by his wife, two sisters and one brother. Exchange Hotel Scorched. At nearly eight o'clock, Tuesday evening, the fire alarm rang, and the cloud of smoke pouring up the main street told plainly of a fire. The fire brigade were soon on duty, but the fire had gained considerable headway and had already br kenhrough the roof. The fire • .ccs son go under control, but .. until the r of was badly dams ::d, and the int rior of the building not only badly corched, but very xn dams ; s . the flood of water pour n. e fire seems to have originated around the chimney. As we close our forms Wednesday morning, we have not been able to ascertain the loss, nor amount of in- surance, The contents were seriously damaged by water and removal, What A Boy Did. Many years ago there was born near Watertown N. Y., to a farmer a son, who was named F. W. Woolworth. He had little schooling and worked on the farm until he was 21 years old, occasionally attending public school. He bad two terms in a business col- lege. Then he went to New York, got employment in a dry goods store es clerk, and at the end of a year was receiving $4 a week. Five years after- ward, when he was 26, he married. He had saved $50 and borrowing $300, went in' o business. He has now 000 five wed. ten -cent stores scattered all over the country, doing an annual busir ess of $60,000,000, He is now be- hind or under the highest building in t i world, a fifty-five story skyscraper et New York, Formerly Of Wingham. A Manitoba paper has the following reference to a former resident of this vicinity :—Death came suddenly and unexpectedly on Tuesday morning to Miss Lizzie Robertson, daughter of Mrs, Alex. Robertson, Neepawa, Miss Robertson was a delicate girl, but on Tuesday morning was in the best of spirits and going about her household duties as usual when the summons came, heart failure being the assigned cause, Deceased was a familiar figure in town, having:been a delivery clerk in the postoffice for some time, in which position she won general re- spect by unfailing courtesy and patience. She was a faithful member of the Baptist Church, and her going hence will leave a void there quite as touching as the vacant clsalr in the family circle. The funeral, conducted by Rev. 3, G. Gardiner, to Riversids cemetery, was attended by many re- latives and friends of team and Glen- dale, The bereaved mother, sister (Mrs, Lorne McColl) and brothers (T- 0. of Kelwood, and Jas, G. of Glen- dale) have the heartfelt sympathy of a wide cirele of friends. Sacred Concert, Lovers of music enjoyed a real treat on Monday evening at the concert given by the choir of the Methodist Church, This choir has made splen- did progress of late under the leader- ship of Mr, Hill, and on Monday even- ing certainly eustained their repu- tation. They were assisted by the Arlon 141a1e quartette of Toronto. The repeated encores were evidence of the appreciation felt by the audience. Mr, Ohapman, as first tenor, has a very sweet voles and was welcomed on his appearance on the concert platform in ho e his oldm town, w. 1vIr, Brown rown lna,da a very fine second tenor, as well as tenor soloist, while Mr. Gardiner was listened to with pleasure in base solo and ch orus.

All the indications point to an early, and it may be a sharp, advance in the price of paper. The Paper Mills have been for some titre refusing to renew contracts at old prices, or to make quotations for 1913, and they have advised their customers that owing to the greatly increased cost of sulphite and other raw materials, the price of paper is bound to go up. Death Of Mr. Scott. Mr, James Scott of Teeswater was brought to the Hospital on Friday Iast very ill with inflamation, and on Saturday passed away. Deceased was born in Scotland and settled in Cuirass about 25 years ago, He was a member of the Presbyterian Church, and highly esteemed. He leaves three sons and three daughters.

Weir swam out and ran for ass stance, Miss Waller cling- ing to a plan , until Robt. Lockridge came to her ass fiance. --Fortunately help came quickly, but the occurrence carne near to being much more serious and perhaps fatal, for the water is deep. A Turnberry Wedding.
