terms more advantageous than have

—Hon, George Foster has success-
fully terminated the negotiations for
an improved steamship service and for
reduced cable rates between Canada

credit in the old land is shown by the
high price at which Canada's recent
loan was underwritten in London this
week. The loan for £3 000,000 which
Hon. W. T. White ft rated brought 99,
which is two points higher than the
securities of any other oversea Do-

figure £1,700,000 will be issued to pay
off a Laurier government loan which
falls due this month. The remainder
of the money will be used for the
general works of the Dominion. No
other loans will fall due now until the

—Since Hon. Martin Burrell has
become Minister of Agriculture he
has taken an especially active interest
in the promotion of the seed branch of
the Department. He has developed
the work of improving the seed of the
Dowinion in many ways. Hon. Sidney
Fisher while Minister always• objected
to co-operating with the provincial
governments in a good seed campaign.
Mr. Burrell following out the general
policy of the government of cooperat-
ing with the provincial adwini.ttra-
tions has arranged to give prizes for
field crop competitions. This work in
the past year has doubled and prizes
are given.
The objects of these competitions is
to offer- encouragement to the pro-
duction and use of good seed more
adequate to the importance of the
grain growing industry and to stimu-
late greater interest in field agricul-
ture. Until recently no special
attempt has been made by agricultur-
al societies to recognize by prizes the
farmers' practices in respect to grain
growing. The fall fairs and large
exhibitions were not adapted to giv-
ing recognition to growing seed grain.
In many places, particularly in the
west, the fairs were held at a time of
year when grain of the season's
growth was not threshed. Most of
the prize money' went to the live
stock classes and the grain and seed
exhibits were of comparatively Iittle
importance. The grain classes were
largely filled by exhibitors who speci-
ally cleaned, or perhaps handpicked,
the small quantity rEquired and often.
showed the same grain year after
year. Under these circumstances, to
offer large prizes for grain would be
to develop expertness in cleaning the
quantity required for exhibit rather
than to encourage growing clean crops
for seed.
The only' way to arrive at the value
of a crop fort ead purposes is to ex-
amine it when growing in the fieldes
As it is impracticable to bring the
crops to a fair for competition, the
next best thing is to take the com-
petitions to the fxeide. This the field
crop compotitions have done and they
have had a pronounced educational as
well as commercial value.
The organization and ma.uagement
of the competitions was handed over
to the provincial Departments of
Agriculture last year, support from
the Seed Branch being given in the
form of subventions amauuting to
two-thirds of the money 'slid out in
prizes, up to $50 for each of three
kinds of crops in a competition held
by one agricultural society. While
the provincial Departments of Agri-
culture are now reapensibte for organ-
izing and judging. the competitions,
The Seed Branch dietriet officers in
Quebec, the Maritime 1'rovinees and
British Columbia are assisting in the
work.
Through the provincial departments
of education i'lr. Burrell has inang-
tiratel a plan to encourage the using
of better seeds and the education of
children in noxious weeds, . Samples
of good deeds and noxious weeds ate
lieing sent to many high and technics]
eohoots throughout the Dominion.
At present an important irquiry is
being spade by the seed branch into
the duality of seed used by farrnera all

Huron County Business Men
Organize To Oppose Scott
Act.
FAVOR LiCENSE AND REGULATION.
Representative business men in
Clinton and in other towns in Huron
County, met in the Town Hall in
Clinton on Friday afternoon, Oct.
17th, 1018, and formed an organization
to be known as the Huron County
Business Men's Association with Mr.
John Ransford as President and Mr,
Wm, Jackson as Secretary.
A declaration which explains the
object of the organization was adopt-
ed as follows :—
We, business men of Huron County
having no commotion with nor in-
terest in the manufacture or sale of
liquors in any way, shape, manner or
form are opposed to the application of
the Scott Act or Canada Temperance
Act to this County.
Experience has shown the Scott Act
to be a failure wherever it has been
tried and it has been tried in various
sections of .the Dominion of Canada
for over thirty years.
Local Option and the Scott Act are
prohibition under different names.
Clinton has prohibition through Local
Option. It is proposed to extend pro-
hibition to Huron County by means
of the Scott Act.
Prohibition has not promoted tem-
perance in Clinton. It has not done
what its adherents claimed it would
do.
If the Scott Act should carry in
Huron County the disregard of the
Act would engender disrespect for
law.
It would benumb the moral sense
and lead to evasion, subterfuge, by-
pocricy and lying. Its blighting of
feet on the material prosperity of the
County would be strongly marked, It
would cut off from the County the
revenue derived from the liquor busi-
ness without lessening the evils of
intemperance.
It would largely increase the public
expense in a vain effort to enforce the
law. It would add seriously to the
burden of taxation. It would de-
preciate the value of real estate and
throw many out of employment, It
would discourage investment. Capital
has learned to shun prohibition Com-
iiiunities
It would interfere unwarrantably
with the rights of the citizen. It
would be destructive of moral welfare
and prosperity.
Believing that license of the llgnor
traffic, with proper -regulation and
dontrol by the Government is better
for the moral and economic interests
of Huron County than attempted pro-
hibition, we respectfully rrquest all
citizens of the County who feel as we
do, to take a decided stand against,
and Din with us in defeating the
Scott Act,
The Huron County Business Men's
Association propose to immediately
inaugurate a campaign of education
in the various, newspapers published
in the County and later on in the
campaign, public msetiage will be
held is every section of the Cauuty to
be addressed by able speakers,
The voters wilt In this way have ese
opportunity to hear both sides of t': •
question.
Beginning with next week a s• -cies
of articles will appear in the Caunty
papers contending thet license of the
liquor traffic under the law is better
for the people of Huron County than
attempted prohibition by means of the
Scott Act.
Respectfully,
Huron Couuty Business Men's Ass'n,
John Rensford, President
W. Jackson, Secretary,

The Sunday School Of To -day.
The Suuday School of the early part
of the Twentieth Century has no great-
er task than that of re -adjustment.
To -day it is far from what ie was a
generation ago and equally different
from what it will be a generation
hence, For a hundred years of its his-
tory in Am(,erica it was regarded as a
school for children, commonly called
the "Nursery of the Church". At tbe
present time it is struggling to enforce
a new ideal upon its constituency
namely tbat it is the "School of the
Church", or as Bishop Vincent, of
world-wide fame, has set it "The
Church studying and teaching the
word of God". Since it is always difil-
cult to change a "Iife habit", it is nov-
el that those who grew up in other
days and in due course "dropped out"
of Sunday School, find it a rather diffi-
cult task to return, The serious as-
pect of it is that these maintain a
"subtracting influence" from the Pres•
ant enrollment by their example.
That rapid strides are being made in
enlisting the interest of the mature
population in the Sunday School is
seen in the fact that whereas in prev-
ious trienniums the increase in tbe
Sunday School enrollment of North
America was told by a few thousand,
the report of the last trienniurn show-
ed the increase to be in excess of 1,000,-
000. No one doubts and those who
know are sure that the cause of this
increase is the rapid growth of the "Or-
ganized Adult Bible Class Movement
In Ontario alone we have now passed
the 1500 mark of individual classes
which are recognized as, having come
up to the Standard and secured the
"International Oertificicate of Recog-
nition".
Not in the matter of attendance or
enrollment ouly is a real difficulty ex-
perienced, but in modernizing its
methods of work in an effort to keep
abreast of the recognized advance
made in secular educational work and
other movements in the interests of
the '•Unfolding life", For more than
a decade the Sunday School Camp of
North America was divided as to the
ueed for an improved curriculum. The
contest resulted iu optional courses of
study known as the "International
Uniform" and the "International
Graded" courses of Sunday School
Lessons. The latter of these courses is
materially assisting in the solution of
several long time probletnt, but others
re main.
Just at present a contract challeng-
ing the Sunday School working force
is adjustment of relations to a larger
field, The Sunday School vision of to-
day is not Iimited to any one hour on -
Sunday -afternoon affair, but it is a
'.'seven day opportunity", a continuous
progress, taking account of every
available means to ii,fiuence clean liv-
ing.
The programs for the twin conven-
tions of the Ontario Sunday School
Association ' at Ottawa and Owen
Sound d c ing the last two weeks of
this no -,,,h have been arranged with
this let ser view in mind.

Wedded on Thanksgiving Day•
A quiet but pretty wedding was
solemnized at the Rectory at high
noon on Monday of this week when
Mr. John Radford, formerly of Blyth,
and Miss Nettie, only daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Alex, VanAlystine, were
united in the holy bonds of matrimony
by Rev. le, H, Croly, B. A. The bride
was prettily attired in cream satin
trimmed with allover lace and jets,
The high esteem in which the young
couple are held was sehown by the
many handsome gifts tbey received,
Among those present at the wedding
were Miss, Olive Wright of Chesley,
cousin of the bride, and Mr. Wm.
Grundy of Durham, After, a short
wedding trip, err. and Mre, Radford
will take up their residence in Wing -
ham with the hest wishes of many
friends. Mr. Radford is an employee
of the Electric Light Department,
Trust The People.
Some few weeks ago the Council,
believing that a Board of Education
elected by the people was preferable
to the present system, passed a reso-
lution bringing in the change Jan. ht.
At the January elections the people
will Sect seven men who with the
three appointed by the County Coun-
cil will form the new Board. The
people pay eight and one half mills,
which are spent by the School Boards
and surely it is but right and British
that the people should elect the men
who spend their money. Fifty-three
per cent. of the High Schools and
Collegiate Institutes of Ontario are
already under a Board of Education
so it is no new thing since seventy-
eight in Ontario have already taken
this step and the majority of these
towns are smaller than Wingham.
Our etz
i i en a seem to want vote ote
for
the men who spend their money but
one or two ti ustees have been work-
ing overtime in opposition to it. The
Council believe that they have done
what is best in the matter and the
Advance will go into the matter more
fully next week.
The Executive Committee in charge
of the details for the County Confer-
ence to be held in Goderich on Nov. '7
under the auspices of the Provin-
cial Executive of the Layman's Assoc-
iation helds already
iation have two meetings g 9
and are attending to their work with
a faithfulness which should bring good
results. E soh of the local pastors is
sending out a personal letter to every
clergyman of his denomination in the
County of Huron, urging his co opera-
tion and the attendance of at least two
delegates from etch congregation in
the County. This will be followed l,y
spies of a printed programme for the
conference as soon as the particulars
ea to speakers and subjects are reeeiv-
ed from the Prov. Executive.
The afternoon session will be held is
North Street Methodist church and
the supper and evening session in
Knox church. The preparations for
the sapper by the ladies of the respec-
tive congregations in town have been
begun by the supper committee. It is
hoped that as most of the visiting dele-
gates will have to remain over night
that they will be entertained in the
homes of the different congrega' ions
Arrangements are under way for a
meeting of pastors and laymen in the
various towns and large village centres,
which will be addressed by a represen-
tative of -the County Executive from
hors, to help arouse interest iu the
Conference and as large flu attendance
as 'possible.

On Sunday last one of nature's
noblemen, in the person of Mr. Wm.
Wellwood, passed to the life beyond.
Mr, Wellwood was born near Carleton
Place, Lanark Oo., on Sept, lst, 1810,
and at the age of eighteen moved with
bis parents, Mr, and Mrs. John Well -
wood, to West Wawanosix where the
deceased lived until his removal to
Wingham a few years ago. Two sis-
ters and three brothers survive—Mrs,
(Rev.) D. Idle of New York City, Mrs,
J. A. Milne of Orillia, Robert G, Well -
wood of Victoria, B. 0., W. Wellwood
of Gravenburst, and Rev. S. D. Well -
wood of Shandon, Ohio. One sister,
Mrs, Perrier, and a brother, John,
have gone before. In 1805 Mr. Well -
wood was married to Miss Christina
Rodgers and the union was blessed by
seven daughters and three sons, all of
whom are liviag—Mrs. A. Kent, Del -
bourne, Alberta; Mrs. George Webb,
West Wawanosh ; Miss Caroline, who
is at present on the Pacific on her way
back to China as missionary ; Eliza-
beth, teacher in New York City ; Mrs.
J. Tigert, Hamilton ; Mrs, McKenzie,
Carrel, B. 0.; Mrs, Frank Howson of
town; R. G., Vancouver; Dr. John
A., Whitecourt, Alta., and Bert. at
home. While in West Wawanosh the
deceased was known as having per-
haps the best stocked farm in the
county, and made many trips to Scot-
land from where he imported a large
number of horses. He was of a retir-
ing disposition and although often
pressed to enter municipal life, he had
no desire for same. Itt Church, Wm.
Wellwood was always a pillar, being
a moving spirit in Bethel church, from
its inception, and at the time of his
death was a class leader and member
of the Quarterly Board of the Metho-
dist Church of Wingham, In polities
be was a staunch Conservative. As a
citizen the name, William Wellwood,
stood for all that was good and true.
The snrrowing relatives should find a
balm in the record of a life so well
spent. The funeral will be held to -day
(Tbureda5-) at 2 p m. to the Wingham
cemetery.
