1'1: army, 1mm 10, an. Cobalt, October 27, 1922. Dear Mr. Thurston,â€"l0wing to such desperate fires since arriving home I have not been able to write sooner. Mrs. Armstrong and I were mUch impressed with the active in- terest or the War Graves Commis- :sion in carrying out the plans for the cemeteries. While the cemetery in which Arnold is buried is not com- pleted. it is in perfect order and the men are working on it all the time. HAS CBBQUBRED CAREER (Cunt'vl‘o'nlate and Ito‘m't‘e‘entatiVCCl The small rannon that was given to the tmnl as a memento of the war has had a varied and not very.hon- ored career. It was placed first near the fountain. a quite suitable posi-' tion. .-\‘t hallowe‘en last‘ year it dis- appeared and was later found in the mud of the drain near the power- house. Some weeks ago it was dug out and left near Queen street. This hallowe’en it was brought up to 'Main Street and left near the Queen’s. On Tuesday it was taken .to the Town Hall, where it at pres- ent reposes. The piece of artillery may not be very imposing but it is not therefore to be despised, knock- ed about and neglected. ‘It is the Qty memorial we have of that for ”fish our boys fought, suflered and “'9 had a must o_-11j0yablv-trip, yet we are exceedingly glad (0 got, bank to Canada. and particularly to our .Iamily and friends. Kindest re- gards.«-Ern. Armstrong. Many of the landmakrs familiar to our Canadian boys are gone. About two-thirds of the country is back into grain. There are still the. grim monuments of warâ€"-a tremendous stock of barbed wire all over the country, and live ammunition and explosiyes are still being hauled off to points where ordnance eXper'ls are employed to destroy it. Tanks are seen strewn across the. country and tremendous numbers of concrete gun emplacemenls still form : grim reminder of the German defences a- gainst. which our boys struggled so valiantly. 3mm CAMPULLY mn- Following is a letter from Colonel Ernest Armstrong of Cobalt, who went overseas in command of the 159th Battalion, and with his wife took another trip during the past summer to view the scenes of battle during the Great War. On his re- turn he wrote to the Flesherton Advance, and the care taken of the graves of our dead heroes will be interesting to many of our readers. Colonel Armstrong was a pupil of the writer away back in the early ‘90’s and we have implicit confidence in what he says in his letter. The “Arnold” referred to in the letter is Arnold Thurston, son of the editor of The Advance. I think the same plan is being car- ried out for each cemeteryâ€"a board walk stretching from one end to the Other. at the head of which is the tall white marble cross, at the foot a marble arch on which is placed a tablet containing the names of the men buried there. In the centre of the walk is the beautiful altar. also of white marble. On either side of the walk are the simple. white mar- ble slabsâ€"row on rowâ€"which re- place the temporary wooden ones. Flowers are planted on every grave, and they and the grass are kept in splendid order. In the completed cemeteries which we visited the shrubbery planted all around the outside was already looking very very tine. We were informed that persons wishing to have the original wooden cross might do so on appliâ€" cation to the War Graves Commis- sion. Baker street, London, England. ' Old Eumpu is still pulling itself together. England is making splin- did pragress and altogether they are in a hopeful mood. . IT.

Charles Montgomery pleaded guilty to having, giving or keeping liquor contrary to the Ontario Temperance Act. The fine imposed was $200.00 and costs. James McIntyre, a ram- er living near Dundalk, pleaded guil- ty to being in an intoxicated condi- tion and was given the usual first oflence ilne. A boy was caught in the act of stealing liquor from a farmer‘s was. on. He was only 17 years of age and he had come out to Canada from En- gland and had no friends here.

The court machinery could arrest them here, take them to Brampton and try them, but had no funds to help them back to their jobs 75 miles away and they had to “hoot it, ” or borrow, and stand the cost and loss themselves of a week’s work. Is it right that respectable young men can be treated in this manner by a constable who imagines himself a Sherlock Holmes but only measures up to an ordinary brain? The con- stable in this case thought the boys were guilty because they left town after being thrown out of employ- ment. They should have been remun- erated for lost time, and a ticket to return to the point where they were arrested, handed to them. DUNDALK RESIDENTS FIRED J.

DISCOVERED ROLL OF MONEY r WHEN HAULIIG ll CLOVER (Alliston Herald.) ' A sensational discovery was made by Clifton Kell a couple of weeks ago when hauling in clover. On loading a pile‘of the 'l‘odder and baring the ground under it, mice scurried in all directions and on tearing the nest to pieces with his fork Mr. Kell was startled to see bank notes turn up. He picked up the good ones and some of the larger pieces of others. In undamaged bills there were 835 and considerable more had been so chewed by the mice that it was? almost like down. Where the money was stolen by the mice is a mystery as no one in the neighborhood has lost any money. The field is a con- siderable distance from any dwelling and how a family of mice could car- ry a roll of bank bills under a pile of hay is a mystery which is not likely to be cleared up. previous good character Magistrate Greasor is making an effort to secure the Attorney-General’s consent to giving the youth suspended sent- ence. Either fine or imprisonment would land “the boy into jail as he would probably be unable to pay his fine, says The Owen Sound Sun. It)!!! earn caooas WONG (Wiarton Canadian.) Postmaster Allan has received no- tification from the Postal Depart- ment at Ottawa that some smooth- working artist is operating in this province, raising post office money orders and defrauding guileless mer- chants hy getting them to cash same. ‘The slick one gets a postmaster to *tlll out a money order for twenty- flve cents or some like small am- ount and will afterwards skillfully erase the penned line drawn through the dollar space and add fifty dollars or more to the order. He will later1 proceed to pick his victim, which is invariably a merchant. Waiting un-1 til the post otl‘ice is closed, he will' make a small purchase of a merch- ant and ask him to cash the money order as he is shy of funds and the post on‘ice is closed. The order looks perfectly good, hearing the post oll'ice stamp and all, and Barnum‘s assertion is once more proved cor- rect, the merchant passes over the long green and the crook fades away. On presenting his money order at the post cities for payment the mer- chant flnds that their records show that said order calls for the passing over of but 25c. instead of 850.25., and then he realizes that there is no close season for sucker fishing and that he has been hooked by a slick stranger who he has but little hOpes of ever seeing again. It would be well for local merchants to be on their guard lest such a game be played on them.
