Thi will not only give 'mployes time for recreation in the evenings, but will actually uivc letter service to those who desire to come to town after tea to make purchases. At i he present time the stores only remain open late on one evening in the week. Hereafter Wednesday, well as Satur- day evening*, the store* will In? open for trade. The movement ihould be popular with everybody. UNITED STATES POUTICS There will evidently be three candi- dates for the presidency of the ("rifted Mates at iieit election Taft nd Roose- velt on the Republican ticket, nod j>os- tiWy a fourth effort on the Part of Win. lenningN Bryan >n lh Democratic i icket. The Republican convention in Chicago last week re.sulted in the hopelt^s split- ting asunder of the Republican party. The convention would not accept Roose- velt us it-i nominee, therefore Kins; The- odore culled u sub convention of Ins own <tnd had himself nominated, while the original convention nominated Tuft.

Miracle Wheat In Ontario About four or five years ago there was .nsidfi:il>V Mueculiation through the public press of the United States us to the origin and menta of a so-called "miracle wheat." It was said at the time ihnt K. B. StouiT, a firmer of Fiiiciutle Va. had prayed for his crops, and when in the midst of the crop of the ordinary kind he discovered a slalk of wheat with 142 heads >f grain he was amazed. Carefully preserv- ing the heads, he sowed the teed the next year, intending to do thia each year, for he realized that he had found a phenom . nal brand of grain. By 1908 he had 80-3 tiusliels of wheat, and in that year a religious magazine called "/ion' Watch 'Tower and Herald of ChrUt's }'reenc" recounted Mr. Stoner'> experience and published a favourable report from the I mil- 1 Status Government ofh'cial*. This article WH read by Mr. R. II. Peck of 247 Hill street, London Ontario, .mi after many attempts to secure sam- ple!, of this grain he managed to get MunefromJ. A. Bennett's of PitUburg Mr. Bohneti'n experience had been that trom two grain* of this "miracle wheat" he had reaped forty-two stalks oontaining I'.HV rriu. The next year iliis produced live poundi rive ounce.* and the following year eight and one-half bu. Mr Peck sowed his samples on three i .1 in.- in - 1 1 ' '.. u.o last yr: one .i' Kiiitore, one at Lucknuir, and one at llaytield road. The ti-st two were sown i. the fall and he has reports that they vame through the winter in excellent con- dition. The third wnssown in the spring mil ti m one bushel he reaped ml y bu. While the oridinary wheat has to be KOWII eight pecks to the acre thia new lariely need* but two pecks to the acre, nnd though the wheat crop from "miracle wheat" was twice as great as the ordinary ;rop in normal years. Mr. Peck has had photographs taken of this remarkable gtain, and hi* friend:) re \ ery wiiich inLereited in what the out- come will be this year of tli sown Uiit full. John Grainger, a resident of Walker- ton foi the last forty years, died Saturay evening after a protracted illness. Originally a contractor on a large scale, he had for a number of years conducted .-in extensive browory business. Ho was prominent in Masonic circles, being pa*t muter of Saugeon Lodge No. I'J7, and i. nit L. of Saugeen Chapter No. ftO R. A. M. Ho was a Conservative, and a tuember of the Church of England.

A Flesherton Elocutionist Mr. Kiiwood Oenoe of Fleaherton, son oi Mr. .'nines tlenoe, and also a graduate of The Advance office, who has been studying elocution in TornUo with Can- ada's leading teacher f the it. Kir. I ' en A. Smiley, has l>een (juietly bu' surely t.iking his pUce as un eiitert'.ioei of the Hrst class. Mr. (ieiioe believes in slow luu sure,'' and h:us made no very spectacular splurge in an advrrtiiini; way, but such fees a> J'Jli and $:J.~> and expense!, of which Mr. (ienoe has hud more than a few recently, .-ire surlicient evidence of the fact that Flesherton has turned out a male elocutionist who bus made an impression on the big city to the south. Mr. (ienoe is booked ahead at Florence, Olencoe, Malton, Culxjurg, I 1 . >!'!ii MI, u'd elsewhere for thu uoming few weeks, and .some of these are return engagements, which areagooil feature of Mr. lienoe's dates. Indeed, one Toron- to church, \Vychwood Presbyterian, had him rne times during the jia-t season. We ijucite the following from the Hainil- ton Spectator : " v . . i i i, i i.

Although this gen- tleman was new to , Hamilton audience, ln.-> work MI a decided success, and we predict a crowded house when he comes nguin. Mr. (ienoe is gifted with a splen did voice : this, combined with his keen conception of characters and situation* and hiii tine ability to portray them, stamps him as an artist of the first rank in both dramatic and humorous numbers The above facts will be lead with much pleasure by Mr. tlenoe's many frienls in and around Fleiherton.
