March 26th, 1924 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE THE Flesherton Advance W. H. THURSTON, that Premier KiiiK is sincere in his effort to relieve the burden. We will however, wait until we feel the relief before placing too much faith in these Editor , forecasts. I MISS McPHAIL DUBIOUS. A Good Year For The Standard Bank MISGIIOED CH.\R1TY. Afrnos MiFhail, M.P., has little hope of Ontario keeping dr" when the referendum is taken on the On- tario Te?nperance Act ^ this year. ElaboralinK a hint she' dropped in a week-end speech at Montreal, Miss McPnail : â€" "Yes, much as I re- gret it, I very much fear the Act is doomed. It is partly because people differentiate between criminal and other punishable offences and an of- fense under the Temperance Act. The whole moral force of the com- munity is not solidly behind the law. " Then, politics have divided the temperance forces. I have met hun- dreds this snmmer who have sort of thrown up their hands and said : "We're through." The reason goes deeper still. There is not enough ed- ucation on temperance. In the old days they used to teach temperance â€" now they legislate about it. That is why I fear the Act is doomed." OUR LETTER BOX The Advance has received u circu- lar re(|uesting its publication, which points to terrible conditions prevail- ing in Germany, and asks for contri- butions with a view to preventing the little German children from starving. The appeal would be a iaudable one if based on realities, but according to some authorities who claim to know, the appeal is unneces.sary. It was made last summer to the people of the United States, and writers in some of the larger magazines took pains to tell the people that such a campaign was not necessary. This is the same appeal that i.s now being broadcasted in Canada and was composed when Lloyd George was Premier of Eng- ; land. The circular sp"8 Germany is I a bankrupt country and unable to look i after its own offspring.

' ^'^'^ running all winter. No need of a snow car here. So lar this wmter Germany went deliberately to work there hasn't been a blizzard, to destoy its own currency, and has Editor of Advance : been and still k asking the world at large to buy its useless paper â€" fir.st as a speculation, now as a curiosity â€" and the strange part of it is that the credulous world has passed over huge sums of money for this dir.', and by just so much has helped Germi.ny to pay her debt.s and reconstru:t herself at the expense of other countries ;rnd peoples. The latest appeal for charit" is no more necessary than it would be for France, a country that felt the hor- rors of war ten times more than Ger- many, and has quite as many ornhans and indigents, yet the foreign charity Strongfield, Sask. Enclosed please find cheque for and place the same to my account for your paper of which we.^re always looking for on Saturday night of each week, as we like to see the news of old friends and neighbors. We are having a nice winter up here, not enough snow yet for slelgiiing. The managers Of the skating rinks have a hard time to keep the ice in siiape Jor Kkating, but the people say it is all right.

Hutchinson. aspect of it has not dawned upon that his^M.bscri^Uon says nation as yet, and is not likely to. The fact of the matter is that Ger- many is not yet a friendly neighbor. She is still fighting to nullify the re- sult of her folly and is trying in every manner possible to draw foreign mon- ey into her coffer.M, in order to use it for reparations. Sentimentalists can always be found easy of persuasion to assist in a little scheme like this if the matter is put before them in a manner that will arouHc their chiv- alry. Germany is not repentant of her many acts of piracy. Even the .sink- ing of the Lusitania is still justified by them. Some men may forget these little things and misguide them- selves into thinking they are doing the best thing for the world bv help- ing Germany out of the mess she has got herself into, but until some sign of repentance is forthcominp' forgive- ness is a question that should not be considered. The fight will have to go on in its new aspect until tlie bitter end. An esteemed subscriber in renewing is subscription says : I always look forward to receiving The Advance, and am pleased to see the general in- terest taken in hockey baseball, and other sports, and I can assure you it is such things which help to keep the smaller places on the map and v.'e old timers are always glad to hear that our native- town, is ab''; to hold her own with neighboring towns in the line of sports. Good luck to the ' boys and thoKe behind them. I also read with interest the articles by an- I other old timer, as they carried me I back to all the old time rendevous of my boyhood. I woulH be glad to know the author if this is permissible without breaking the usual confiden- Iccs extended by newspapers to anony- Inious writers, as from his description of the various i)laces and the manner of doing things I could almost imag- I ine him to have been an old school- i mate of my own.

The forty-ninth annual statement of the Standard Bank of Canada, whitth was presented to the share- holders at the annual meeting held at the head office of the Bank in the city of Toronto on Wednesday, February 27th, was accepted by the sharehold- ers as highly satisfactory. A review of the figures shows that the earnings have been well maintain- ed and that the Bank's liouid position has improved consideraby during the past twelve months. After paying quarterly dividends during the year amounting to $520,- 000; reserving for Dominion Income Tax $55,000; applying $40,000 to War Tax on circulation and uaking a con- tribution of $25,000 to the Officers' Pension Fund, a balance of $215,661 is carried forward. This is an in- crease of $55,000 over the amount carried forward last year. It has been evident to the business community in Canada that the past twelve months have been hesitant and uncertain. It therefore reflects very creditably on the management that under these conditions such an excellent statement has been prodiiced. O ® @ o O CHEVROLET Brings your friends close to you PARALYZED BY FALL Frank Locke, aged 81 years, a butter-wrapper for the Walkerton Egg & Dairy Co., was the victim of a serious accident under distressing circumstances. Mr. Locke had been presented with a young daughter an hour before. He remarked to his wife that he felt rather ill. He started upstairs and got to the top step when he felt dizzy. That is the last he remembers until he lound him- self at the bottom of the stee^^ wind- ing stair in a paralyzed condition. Dr. Stalker who was in the house at the time in connection with the child- birth, heard the disturbance and went to the rescue. He found LnoVo stand- ing oh his head and wedged in tightly against the doorpost at tiie foot of the stairs. Had he not been removed from that position, he would no doubt have died in a short time. Though paralyzed from the neck down, Locke was in great pain. The pain has since eased up a good deal but he is still in a paralvzed condi- tion. â€" Telescope. ^ â€" â€" â€" ^ ^m^ t i I t o i 9 •s 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 'HE isolation and loneliness of the farm have gone. Frienls miles apart are now neighbors. ' Cities once the mecca for holidays and market days only, are now only a few minutes away. On the other hand, ihe country places, the beauty spots of nature and the friends in the country are now within easy reach of the city folks. And in bringing this service to Can- adians, Chevrolet has gone beyond any other car built. Not only does Chevrolet provide other car can give, but it brings its servce to the largest ^oup of buy- ers Chevrolet oflfers quality, de pendability, comfort and full equip- ment at a price unapproached by any other quality car in the world. Moreover by its low prices and easy payment plan, Chevrolet has further enlarged the group of those who can afford to own this .fine quality car, and bring to them the enjoyments of motoring to a still greater degree. Before you buy a car at any price, see Chevrolet. Examine its fine quality thoroughly, ask us for a demonstration. 9 everything any For Economical Transportation. D. McTAVISH & SON FLESHERTON, ONT.
