New Sottball Schedule Dorothy Boyd Takes The Highest Honors Last week we published the general results of the recent Entrance exam- inations as far as it affected the im- mediate region covered by this paper, and We are glad to print the following notes, sent us by Mr. Pentland. The Dr. Jamieson Gold Medal was won by Dorothy Boyd, of the Mark- dale Public School, taught by Mr. W. J. Messenger. Dorothy not only lead the Inspectorate for this famous prize, but took the highest mark that ever came into South Grey, a full 95.6 per cent of the total marks. It would be interesting to know whether or not this mark has ever been equalled in Ontario. Dorothy is just thirteen years of age, and if her High School record bears out the present indica- tions she will be one of the best in Ontario. The second best in total is Carol Knechtel, of the Hanover Public School, whose total was not far be- hind that of Dorothy, but a careful re-reading of the papers made it clear that the Markdale lassie was the win- ner this year. Another good runner- up was Alvin Stafford, of the Dun- dalk Public School. Those three are all excellent pupils, and we shall look forward in the future to their record with interest. In the entire Inspectorate, includ- ing the township of Osprey, (which is not in this Inspectorate except for Entrance purposes), there were -iSfl candidates in all. Of those 387, a number were given standing on their .vear's work, no examination being re- quired. One hundred and fourteen received their standing on this basis. This leaves 273 who took the regular examination and of this number 190 passed, or slightly less than 70 per cent. In the six Urban centres there were 104 candidates prepared and of those DO passed, or 86.5 per cent. In the rural schools 283 were prepared and 214 passed, or slightly over 73 per 1 cent. The youngest pupil in the Inspec- torate to pass was Donnetta Langrill, a little eleven year old girl from No. U Bentinck, taught by Miss Ruby Maxwell. The following additional notes may be of interest: The best i-eaders in South Grey are I Eileen Irwin, of No. 6, Artemesia, I taught by Miss Emma Oliver and Robert Nieholls, of No. 8 Artemesia, taught by Mervyn Little. Those two are equal. The best in spelling is Ruth Hahn, of the .\yton School, who obtained almost the total mark. Ruth was taught by Mr. .A.. C. Collins. The best in writing is Dorothy I Boyd, of Markdale Public School, the Gold Medalist, who was also best in Literature, Geography, Arithmetic, (full marks). Grammar, and who equaled Carol Knechtel, of Hanover F'ublic School, for first place in His- tory, both girls receiving full marks, a rare accomplishment in History. The best in Cotnposition was Carol Knechtel of Hanover, taught by Mr. J. A. Magee, His 88th_Birthday The Advance is very pleased to chronicle the 88th birthday of an old friend, Mr. John Weber of Kim- berley, who will pass that milestone on Friday of this week, July 16. Mr. Weber is still very active for a man of his age and frequently visits his granddaughter, Mrs. K. Betts, in town. He is the oldest native of the Kim- berley valley, where he came in his early childhood with his parents from Egmondville, Ont. We are very pleased to tender him our sincere congratulations and wish him many more returns of the dav. Names of Soldiers On War Memorial Vagabond Farmer On Way Westward The Home Farm, Holstein, Ontario. Home again after three thousand miles of hitch hiking tlu-ough the Maritime provinces. After pounding heel and toe over hot pavements and dusty counti-y lanes, after waving frantic thumbs at passing motorists there comes a time for pausing, for thought, and for a moment of rest. Of course when I got home everyone was surprised to see me. thinking I was still in the east, everyone that is but mother, who had been looking for me since a week ago Thursday, which is I suppose what all good mothers do. When you get back from a trip like that you want to sleep. I Yon want three good meals a day.

McArthur, at the Glen, during the severe elec- ti-ical storm that ilassed over the district shortly afer 12 o'clock on Sunday afernoon, and it was burned to the ground. In the barn and I which was also burned were 23 loads I of hay, 300 bushels of oats and a j quantity of wheat and barley. Four ' pigs and some chickens were also ; destroyed in the fire. Mr. McAi*- thur succeeded in getting out four horses and some of his farm imple- ment.-!. There were no lightning rods on the barn. The barn was i practically new and was considered i one of the best in the district. There was some insurance, but not sufficient j to cover the loss, which is very heavy, the barn itself being worth $2,000.

Be sure to see it SENSIBLE LAW The new divorce bill passed by the British House of Commons widens the cause for annulment of marriages to include desertion, cruelty and incur- able insanity as well as adultery, but ' makes the very novel provision that no divorce may be granted within five years of marriage. There may be differences of opinion as to the ad- visability of making divorce easier, but the clause which prevents hasty divorces is certainly commendable, and might well be adopted in Cana- da. Many a marriage might be sav- ed from going on the rocks if the parties had to put up with each other for five years instead of rushing to the divorce courts The Midland Free Press.

The favourite spot for the young people to keep cool was in the waters of the pond, while the older people suffered in silence with the hope that the extreme heat wave would break. Sunday afternoon an electric storm broke over this section and rain fell in torrents, bringing the needed moisture to the growing crops. Spring grain crops in some sections were flattended but is thought that most of it will straighten up again. Tuesday the air was cool again and everybody was happy once more. my first impulse was to pull off my shoes and walk out on the lawn in my bare feet. Well I have ten brief days for such luxuries before taking off for the mild Pacific, and our vast Canadian plains. But more of that at:the end of the letter. ^ Ontario Revisited WTio was it who said, "Breathes there a man with soul so dead who never to himself hath said this is my own my native land"? Whoever he was. he did not belong to Canada. For this land is so diverse and so varied that one can not put his finger on any one thing, or place, and say with con- fidence: "This is Canadal" A Maritime business man said to me, "We Bluenosers do not tear into things like you people in Upper Can- ada. (Ontario is commonly known as L^pper Canada). We are satisfied with an ordinary income", h^ went on. "we do not kill ourselves and I think on tl^ whole we are happier." ^Vhat he said was largely true. In the east of Canada, there is less in- dustry, business is not so highly de- veloped, there are fewer very rich 'â- '7<Ad fewer very poor. In Ontario you won't see a yoke of oxen in three days' journey; neither will you see homes so uniformly beautiful and well cared for as in Nova Scotia. Some- how the folks down East can get along with an ox cart, and a horse and buggy, but they insist on fine trees, shrubs, and a painted house. Now it is all very well to be indus- trious and thrifty, but if industry and thrift become subsitues for gen- eiosity, righteousness, and a love of beauty we should examine our stand- ard of values. Those of us from the rest of Canada who have the priv- ilege of visiting Queber and the Mari- times should hesitate before wy scoff at their methods of doing things. even if they are a bit different. Then There is Western Canada It would not be fair to my thumb or perhaps my feet to try to hitch- hike to Vancouver, so I have taken up the illea of driving again. I j^ave been able to persuade three friends to come with me. A]\ of them men. We are driving a car with a luggage carrier on the back for bedding, uten- sils and food. We have no set itinerary but this is roughly the way we will go. From Holstein to Toronto, then to Kingston and Ottawa where we will I'atch the Trans-Canada Highway which will take us through North Bay, Sudbury, and Sault Ste. Marie. At the Soo We will leave the Trans-Can- ada crossing into the United States to return to the soil of Canada at Fort William. Our course will run due west through Kenora to "Winnipeg. We have no plans on how to cross the nrairie. We will be taking our time as we are allowing at least seven weeks for the whole trip. Impulse, â- nd the advise we get On the way will be our guide, the Pacific Ocean our •roal. and the whole country our field >f oh.servation. Tfext Week Next weok the four of us will be well on our way and the next letter shoulJ come from .some where in the north of Ontario. This letter con- cludes the first part of the Country Life from Coast to Coast series. Thos. Strain Dies Mrs. M. Jamieson of town received word on Monday of the death of her brother-in-law, .Mr. Tlhomas Strain, cjn Friday. July 9th, at the home of his daughter. Mrs. A. Ewing in South Porcupine.

P. R. from their annual camp held at the camp ground at .Niagara-on-the-Lake. Many of the ukier members of the late 31st Regi- ment have pleasant memories of other visits to this famous spot and the present generation have joined them in pleasant memories of camp life. Hot weather predominated th:ough- oa: the six days with an absence of rain. The health of the camp was almost perfect, the Medical officer. Major O. E. Carr of Owen Sound, tormerly of PriceviUe, having very few calls on his services. Wednesday of last week the Grey and Simcoes spent on the rifle ranges Che practises being shot with the ser- vice rifles and also the Lewis guns. Stewart McMullin of Feversham was the best shot in •".A." Company. The officers of the Brigade were given a demonstration of the Bren gun, the use of which is similar to that of the Lewis, a light automatic weapon. This new gun is being adopted in the Brit- ish army but at present there are only two in Canada for demonstration pur- po.<es. There was also an anti-gas demonstration given by the Royal Canadian Regiment. Everybody was well pleased with the conduct of the camp and all have expressed a wish gf returning next year. Wtf had a pleasant call while in jai:ip. from Mr. Ben Wilson of St. Cathermes and were disappointed that We were unable to spend more time rtiih him. The Niagara camp is situated on historic ground, having been the scene ot much activity during the war of 1*12. .\t the mouth of the Niagara Kiver is Fort Mississauga. the only remains now being the star-shaped fortification and the block house in the centre. Inside the fortification is the Sth hole of the golf club. Fur- ther to the south was situated Fort iIi'Digf from which General Brock I acid to lead his forces against the Vmoricans the morning he was killed. General Butler, prominent at that '!M!o. was also buried close to the I I'.v'i. Cairns commemorating im- portant events are situated through- out the Niagara Peninsula and are very interesting to a person inclined to historical research. .A. museum of over 6.000 items of historical items is n!so very interesting. .A building erected by General Butler, prior to 1S!2. on the Niagara Camp ground is being used at present by the per- manent forces in camp, the Royal Canadian Dragoons, the Royal Can- adian Regiment. Here From West The man who wishes to win a name for himself has to hustle. Seems to us we have sometimes heard that that's what the girls think about themselves. Mr. and .Mrs. Frank Barnhouse and ?<'n Reg., of Edmonton, .\lberta. vis- ited friends here on Wednesday and I Thursday of last week. They were I on a motor trip by way of Salt Lake City East to New York, and were on the return lap by way of Chicago. Their daughter. Miss L. Dorothy. M.D.. dropped off at T\)ronto, where she will intern for a year in the I Women's College Hospital. Many I old friends here were delighted to ' meet them once more. Frank is city ; treasurer of Edmonton, while his I brother Phil, is head of the electrical j department of the city. The Barn- ! house family moved to Edmonton ' from Flesherton a good many years I igo, and their influence for good has , been very much felt in the western city, which Flesherton was the loser. , THI rUNraLlL CHAPEL.
