FLE3HERTON THE Resherton Advana* W. i: OH AN To-morrow will see the big event of the y jar in l-'leilierlon, when it is expeuted that the large-it crowd ever congregated here will be on hand. In .last week's issue we g;ive a pretty fair de-.oiiption of what the day offered, but the pros- peels are still growing that the day will form a record breaker in this district. It is announced thut eleven lodges will come from Owen Sound by special train und motor. Three or four bands will be present Owen Sound and Flesherton base- ball clubs will play a league ivuttcli lhat day, and if you want to see baseball of hiyh order attend the match. Immense preparations aie being proceeded with to feed and please the crowd. The village council has placed ji/5 in the hands of the committee for decoration purposes and the place will look gay and smiling U-> greet the people. You ate invited to join the throng. There will be rest rooms tor the ladies and plenty of eatables to supply all hands. Conte join us in the celebration. THAT PRIZE FIGHT Is pn/e figbting losing its pop- ularity ? It would almost seem so, judging by the disastrous financial failure o4 the Uempsy-Gibbons light, in Montana last week. The backers of this event had to make up a deficiency of $ JOS, 500. This was a n ; ce little pile to lose, but perhaps the bai'kei.s of Dompsy arouid Great Falls consider, that it was worth it. Dempsy got it all, anyway. All tlif same, it will probably put a damper on prospects for future events of this nature. If the pub- lic fails to respond, prize fighting will soon become a discouraging pastime and will be dropped from the world's program of spoils. EDITORIAL NOTES An exchange tells of a man who, when he got out of a dentist's chair found that his leg had been broken. Later The Dr. has decided that it was merely pulled. o o o o An Owen Sound dentist had one dollar conscience money returned tit him by post the olhei day. No-.v, if that dentist would hand hack a little conscience money to his patients everything would be qua re. o o o o If .1 barn is destroyed by wind il is blown down, il by dynamite it is blown up, yet results are the same in both cases. Great are the in- tricacies of the Knglish language. o o o o Dundalk will have to put up be- tween SSOO iiiul $1000 for new instruments before that veleran, Joe Park, \\illassume the leader- ship of the band, joe is a luxury. Hut he don't wish his reputation to sag, and will inn no risks. MANY MYSTERY SHIPS Hulks ol Familiar Bits of oi Tragedy Deck Tell "Mystery ships" have sailed tin 1 sen. for ci'iilnrii-'s. Now tin- hulk of n ves- sel lost years before appears in si strange nut nf the way place; now a familiar piece of deck work washes a- shore in the night to tell of disaster and uf lot hopes. All are tragedies, like those two cases that Chambers' journal describes -mysteries that pro- bably never will he fully explained. In 101112 the captain of the I-'rcndi hark, F.milic (ialline, tanning Iroin New Caledonia, reported on aching Bordeaux that when round- ing tilt' Morn the ship had run into n vast field of great ice bergs, and that while groping her way into the open he had passed a gigantic berg that to the amazement of all hands was carrying in a cleft on its crest a large 1-masti'd schooner, partly ili: mantled nit otherwise apparently intact with u-i boats still on the booms. The cnp- ain had made every effort to find the iiirvivms, but there were no signs of inn ir, beings on the id 1 herg. How I HI !h.' \ < H there?

CANADA'S PROSPERITY Through Us or In Spite o ; Us? When the war was on and this country was putting forth every effort at home and overseas, to aid .he allied cause, a great spirit of confidence and faith, of willingness to work, econo- mi/e and sacrifice, filled every das of the community from the highest to the As a result, Canada'.; honourable war record has set her hi;;h among the nations, with a place at the Im- perial Council table and a voice in in- ternational affairs. Canada must and will come, with equal honor, through the troublous times of post-war adjustment. The only question is, will nil of us help or some of us hinder, by pessimism, apathy, or class jenluusy? To (lift Canadian farmer this ques- tion conies with a peculiar force. Ag- riculture must be the economic balan- ce wheel of this or any nation. It is an occupation where nature lierself de- mands energy, courtigc, economy and efficiency.
