Cixculation over 1000, Price in Canada |2.00 per year, when paid in advance |1.50. In paid in advance |2.00. U. S. A. 12.50 per year, when W. H. THURSTON, F. J. THURSTON, - A.SSO€. Editor Editor EUITORIAl- NOTES Two hundred and twenty-two acres of farm land in Oxford County were houjrht at a tax .sale for §15. Not Niuch encouragement to the farmer in thi.-i record. • • • The Globe reported last week that "it is somethinfT for Toronto stores that the Countess of Bcssborou^'h went there to shop in the pre-Christ- inas season. May lie; but what do Ottawa merihants think about it They have some excellent stores in the capitol. It is reported that farmers now owe less for farm implements than they did two years ago. That is easily fxplained. They simply have not >:een buying new implements a.s work- ers in the big implement works, who have either been out of emi)loyment for many months, or working only a (lay or two a week, know to their cost. This accounts, too, for the low (|uota- tion for stock in implement industries, and in that regard the implement bosses have borne the brunt. ♦ • ♦ There is no more misapplied word than "lady." A police magistrate trying the case of ii vagrant female, iisked the prosecuting constable "There was another lady in this case. IVhere is she?" "Plea.se, Sir," spoke up the defendant, 'the other lady couldn't come, she's drunk to-day." Then there was a village butcher, who, enthusiastically describing a new res- ident and customer, said "Ah, she's a real lady. She don't know even one cut from another, nor veal from nvutton." • • • The amount paid out for old age pensions in Ontario continues to in- crease, and every now and again it is found that some one is drawing this "dole" who is not legally qualified. Hut friends and neighbors, who know better, refrain from insisting on a stoppage of the wrong-doing. Why'.' They say, because it is the govern- ment that pays; they have much money; they get the taxes. But who pay the taxes? All of us. .We arc all contributing. Therefore all should insist on honest administration of [jublic funds. ACKNOWLKIXiES I'RKSS POWER daylight with $6,000. Every weekly paper in the county had the story next day. "What," exclaims the Advance, "we cannot understand is why thes-_- fellows did not pull off this robbery on Tuesday." The explanation U, no doubt, a simple one. The robbers, studying the local situation, pulled off their robbery at the exact moment when the power of the lotal pi ess could not be brought into play against them. â€" Toronto Star. There arc many grievances abroad in the land these days^ but we ars forced to admit that the editor of the Flesherton Advance has a real one. His paper is published on AVednesd"v of each week in time to catch out- goinj; trains. All the other weeklies of (Jrey county are published on rhursday. On a certain Wednesday â€"two weeks ago â€" the Advance had just been issued and bales of paper were catching the train and at that minute two burglars robbed the vill- age bank and got away in broad ^.•:~>.>.>.x~:~:~:~:~:~:~x..:..x-:~:~:~xK~x«<K««X";~x><~WKK~x~K^^^^ I W OWENSOUND, ONT. ^O i Military Exams. Held A very successful military school in connection with the Grey Regiment teiminated on Friday with examina tions in the armories. The regiment had !.'' officers and men writing the examinations, eight of them being from Flesherton as members of "D" Company. These were Capt. A. E. Bellamy, Lieut. ,W. E. Turney and M ;::.d, W. J. W. Armstrong, C. J. Bellamy, F. J. Thurston, Bob Bellamy r.nd Angus Tumey. Th3 school had lasted for nine v.'eck.^ under the command of Capt. NichoUs of the Royal Canadian Regi- ment, Toronto, who i)roved to be a very efficient instructor, assisted by Serg.-Major E. Hubbard and Sergt.- .\lajor Smith, also of the R.C.R. The examinations consisted of Part 1, whicli included map reading, adminis- tration and military law, and Part J will be taken at an organized camp, when, a permanent certificate will be given.

HAWKEN The Hydro-Electric Power Com- mission and its critics are so far apart on a solution of their alleged differences that they may never be united. The charge that the Com- mission is highhanded and autocratic is true, but where will the Hydro System land if the critics gain con- trol ? Personally, we would much rather have an autocratic Hydro Com- mission and three-cent hydro. The critics may complain of high-handed- ness, but our personal concern is "How much does it cost?" No one has yet made the charge that the Com- mission is incompetent, or complained of its inability to supply the Province of Ontario with the cheapest electric power in the world.â€" Durham Chron- icle. at Exceptional Prices Turkish Towel Sett.s UOc t-- Men's and Boys' Cloth Caps 75c to $1.7,5 Fancy Turkish Towels Ladies' Kid Gloves Ladies' Rayon Vests, all colors Ladies' Rayon Bloomers 75c l!)c to 85c $1.50 to $3.50 .... 79c to $1.25 ... 49c to $1.00 Ladies' Rayon Cowns $1.49 to $1.05 Ladies' Crepe Dance Setts $1.89 iJayim Vests and Bloomers Setts .... $1 to $1.50 Ladies' Silk Hosiery 49c to $1.65 Ijidies' Silk and Wool Hosiery 49c to $1.25 I.adie;^' and Musses Pajamas $1.49 to $2.29 Ladies' Fancy Scarves $1 to $1.49 Ladies' Woiil Sweaters, Pullovers $1.75 to $2.!»5 Men's Negligee Shirts .. $1.00 to $2.50 Club Bags and Aeropacks $2.50 to $10.50 Mcn'.s^ Suspenders 2yc to 75c Men's' Kid Gloves and Mitts $1.25 to $3.50 Men's Fancy Mufflers 75c to $2.75 Men's Armlets and Garters 25c to $1.00 Baly Crib Blankets 75c to $1.50 Fancy Flannelette Blankets $2.19 to $4.25 Rayon Brocaded Bed Spreads .... $2.75 to $4.50 Bed Room Slippers 50c to $1.75 Ladies' Slippers and Pumps $2.29 to $4.95 Luncheon Cloths and Setts $1.19 to $2.75 Woo! .rackets, Bootees, Mitts, Toques, Pullovers Splendid Assortment of China and Colored Glass I'i(/\vcr X'a.ses. iV-ii.

HICKLING Fi,F«nFnToy, ont What is it that we really care most about? It might be said in reply that most people are chiefly concern- ed with the collection of dollars which they will use to secure the comforts they want and which will give them a sense of security. But is thi_s so? Do we not all realize, consciously or rnconsciously, that the enjoyment of material thinprs depends on health? The first question which we ask our friend-: is "How do you do?", and not "How is your bank account to-day." It may be said that we ask the question as a mere matter of custom, without expecting an answer. It is true, nevertheless, that we regard the loss of health, physical or mental, as the most seriou.s matter which can af- fect either ourselves or our friends. The loss of physical or mental vigoui is the one undesirable penalty of ad- vancing years. More money is now expended to maintain health than ever before. Through taxation, considerable sum.^ are provided to enable public health departments to protect their commun- ities from disease. Individually, people are paying their family physic- ian to give them regular health ex- aminations and advice on how to keep well. More money can now be expended profitably because more knowledge Is now available concerning the preven- tion of disease and the promotion of health. Previous generations were just as anxious as we to avoid dis- ease, but until the cause or manner of spread of a disease is discovered very little can be done to contro. that disease. We are fortunate in that we live in an age which has been made comparatively safe through the application of medical science. It costs money to secure protection from disease. We need to devote time and thought to the safeguarding of our own health. Such expenditur- es, whether they be of time or money are an economy from whatever point they are viewed. Disease is expen- sive in that it calls for the expendi- ture of money and waste of time, to .':ay nothing of the suffering that ill- I ness entails. ,We can say "Very well, thank you", and mean it, to our enquiring friends if we give reasonable consideration, day by day, to the practice of simple habits of healthy living â€" an adequate, balanced diet, iiuantities of fresh air and sunshine, sufficient rest and ex- I'rcise, body cleanliness and regulai elimination. THE USELESS U'» For the life of us we can't see the sense of teaching pupils to spell words with all the superfluous 'u's' and 'o's' and Mi's', when the common usage in Canada is to leave out those letters. We happened to glance through a pub- lic school :-pelling book the other eve- ning and found such words as 'honour' 'harbour', and 'labour.' All this can lead to is confusion, if a child reads the daily newBpaiers or magazines. It's time the old l.igies who prepaie text books of that kind were super- annuated.â€" St. Thomas Times-Journal WHAT 1920 SACK OF SUGAR WILL BUY AT PRESENT DAY A window display that caused a great deal of comment among travell- FOOTBALL Speaking of Football, you won't mind if we kick a little about the arrearages on The A^d- vanco subscription list.

L MORWOOD FLESHERTON Was Splendid Concert A very large crowd attended the concert in Flesherton on Friday even- ing, when the play ".A-pple Blossom Time" was presented by the Flesher- ton Dramatic Club." The play brought duv.n howls of laughter and was stal- ed to have been the best ever giv§n by this club, which has a record of presenting plays which the public en- joys. A dance was held at the close of the concert, but was not as well oatronized. A popular baby contest was heln in connection with the concert and little Mis.s Eleanor Sparks was chos- en for this honor. She received 1460 votes, while Douglas Kennedy receiv- ed 530 and Carman Plester 410. The concert and play were given in aid of the Agi-icirftural Society and about $55 was taken in at the door.
