mmm Wenesidav, Novebt*rl2, 1924 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE Published on Collinnrwootl Street, Flesherton, Wednesday of each week'. Circulation 1100. Price in Canada $1.50 per year; in U.S. A. $2.00 per year; $2.00 per year when not paid in advance. W. H. THUR.STON, - Editor WOl'LU YOr IK) THE SAME! The Advance wishes to thank the few subscribers who responded to the subscription statements we sent out a few weeks apo and to request all those who have not done so to attend to the matter a.s soon as jwssible. Costa of publishing a paper have not reduced to any great extent to what it was during the last year of the war and it takes eveiy cent that comes in to keep things tfoing. One year ago we made an extensive addition to our equipment here and it has enabled us to publish a newsier paper and to keep you in touch with home af- fairs better than before. Thi? machine has to be paid for and with all the subscription arrears paid up would enable us to greatly reduce the principal. Look at your label now and if it reads in arrears kindly write a letter and enclose the arrears plus one dollar and half to pay in ad- vance. Do it now! must of the growers taking that in preference to having it hulled by machine. They thought that in the long run they were just as far ahead, and would have Just as much money. Some excellent yields of seed have been reported, and, together with the bountiful harvest, should have a stablizing effect on business, because, if the farmer is without money, all business thereby suffer.

RUSSEL WRITES A MAITER OF COURAGE Great interest was taken this year in the intercollegiate rugby games between, the University of Toronto and Queens University, Kingston. Mr. Bert Airth, who played baseball in Fl^herton during the summer of 1923, is on the Queens team, and plays his position in the line with brilliancy. On Saturday afternoon last Queens won the intercollegiate senior title by winning from Toronto on their own grounds by 14-13, hav- ing defeated them in Kingston be- fore. Toronto University has a fine team, but Queens seems to have more reserve strength as they came through to victory after being behina during most of the game. It was a splendid example of courage and team play and the ability to take advantage of their opponent's fumbles. EDITORIAL NOTES Some of the non-glare automobile lenses are that only by name. « • * • It is reported that a convention of bootleggers is to be held in Toronto at an early date to devise ways and nieans tor protection. If the O.T.A. is enforced they will be out of a job, or in jail. « 1^ * I It may be true, as a contemporary suggests, that you can save running expenses by walking occasionally. The gain may be illusory, however, as in the absence of sidewalk.s and the multiplicity of fast motor cars the rate of life insurance may be vastly increased.

Our live stock raisers are to be congratu- lated. They will doubtless strive to maintain their pre-eminence. • • * V They must be preparing for another vote in Toronto. It has been ascer- tained that, though the population of that city has \yeen increased only 6,724 during the past year, there are 13,720 more names on the new list of voters than there were on the one used a year ago! There are, the authorities report, 258,373 names fntered, and as the population of the city has been a-scertained to be 542,- 187, the voting strength is approx- imately 4$ per cent. Surely a record in fat electoral lists! * * • * The other day it was reported that Canadian-grown apples had carried all Ijefore them in the Wembly exhi- bition. Now it is announced that a Canadian cow has beaten the world's record in the 305 days' test for butter yield. "Aggie Texal Canary" is the high-sounding title of this animal and ahe is ownc<l by W. R. Cummings, farming outside the limits of Oshawa. Her record is 1128 pounds in the 305 days, which beats the previous world's record, held by a Bowman- ville cow (also of the Holstein breed), whose yield was 11221': pounds for the same period. Verily this is a land which can hold its own. • • • • During the past few years the BW«et clover crop has been a boon to the farmers iri*this district and has helped them through ."lome very stren- uous times. This year was no ex- ception to the rule. The buyers have bought up large quantities and have been paying around (5.25 for one hundred pounds of unclMined seed, The Advance was pleased to receive an interesting letter from Mr. Jas. E. Russell of Parma, Idaho. Mr. Russell is a son of Mr. Jas. Russell of Rock Mills and is an old Artemesia boy. Following is the letter: â€" Parma, Idaho, Oct. 28, Dear Editor: â€" I will try and write a line to-day to your paper, as it is a rainy day, the first wet day we have had since last spring. So you see we get our share of the beautiful sunshine. The Advance reaches us on Tuesday of each week, and both my wife and I enjoy reading it, as it is like a letter from home. Though I have been in Idaho since April 1907 and my wife since 1913, still we look back to Artemesia as home. We specially enjoyed reading the letters from other writers from tinie to time from different parts of the country. We read with much inter- est the letters from Ed. LeGard. Ed. and I spent several summers together working in the veneer factory and for a time on the end of a cross-cut saw at Rock Mills. We are sorry that crops are short or almost a failure in his part of the country. Had we to depend upon rain here in Idaho our crops would be very slim. We raise everything here by irrigation and our water supply was short this year due to lack of snow last winter in the mountains, and our crojis suffered some the latter end of the season. This has been the first year we have had serious shortage of water. Idaho has the soil, sunshine and water to produce the crops. But our greatest trouble is to get them on the market; long hauls and high freight rates take off the profits. We can raise all kinds of small grain, the largest yield of wheat I heard of around these parts this year was 74 bushels per acre on a 15 acre field. We raise three crops of alfalfa on the same land each year, the first crop for [ hay, the second we usually .let seed, I which yields from three to 11 bushels per acre. Potatoes have been the principle crop with many farmers. Those who dug early got them off at I a fair price, but some have been I shippo<l the past two weekii at a half ! cent per pound. There is also lots ' of fruit raised in the Boise valley, ! .vliifh usually lands on the eastern markets. Idaho is also an ideal place for the raising of all kinds of live stock. More li\/e .stock is being rai.scd each year on the farms, con- sisting of hogs, sheep and dairy cows, while some make a specialty of rais- ing chickens. I have given you prehaps a .slight idea of how we farm here, of the assortment of crops we raise. I will ring off by thanking you for your valuable papur in the |)ast. Would be glad to hear from others through The Advance. I am your truly, â€" JAMES E. RUSSELL.

Some of the questions given ate as follows: â€" "May a congregation retain its name 'Presbyterian' after enterinjf Union?" "Yes. It is quite in accord with the Act of Parliament to do so." I "Will ministers in the United Church Rev. W. A. Gunton The Rev. and Mrs. Gunton have* | been holding special efforts along evangelistic lines in the Rock Mills Baptist Church. The singing of Mrs. Gunton, which is characterized by its sweetness, has reached the hearts of all who have heard her sing the old Gospel. The preaching of Rev. Gun- ton is noticeably of a quiet, persua- sive, yet withal persistent character. Many have been led to Christ as a result of the united efforts of the evangelists. Furthermore, many ChristSans, cold and indifferent in their religious activities in the past, have felt their "hearts burn within" as they sat under the splendid teach- ing and are now determined to do different in the future, God helping them. IMr. and Mrs. Gunton have been invited to prolong their visit to this district and to spend a week in the Flesherton church. We do hope that they can complete arrangements whereby the people of Flesherton and surrounding districts will have the the opportunity of hearing them. Mrs. W. A. Gunton BOUGHT BANKRUPT STOCK The stock of the store up till re- cently condcted by Jos. Surace, Italian merchant at Dundalk, was sold in Toronto Thursday by the Assignee.

It may be a jazz record, or a gaudy tie, or a book that you would hate to have found on you if an auto bumped you into dreamland. And you csn't really blame the giver. Knowing you' well he concludes that you crave that sort of thing. On the other hand his gift may convey a sub- tle compliment â€" a gift of The Com- panion for instance. It is a tribute to your good taste, to a certain ideal- ism he has perceived in your make-up, to the impression you give that life is real and earnest and not merely a game of skittles. You may he sure that anybody who thinks slightingly of The Companion as a gift is him- self making life a game of skittles â€" and very little else.
