Proprietort To Our Subscribers in Arrears A few weeks ago The Ad- vance sent out accounts to its subscribers who are in arrears with their paper. While the in- dividual amounts were not over $15. the total amounts was over |500. To date the response to our appeal has been very dis- appointing. "We are in need of a considerable sum during the next month and if each sub- scriber in arrears would bring or send in half the amount on their statement their attention to the matter would be greatly appreciated and would assist us at this time. Those in arrears but who did not receive a state- ment wiuld also confer a favor if they could also attend to the matter promptly.

The small boy gets it for nothing, the young man has to lie for it, and the old man has to buy it. The baby's right, thi- lov- er's privilege and the hypocrite's mask. To » young giil it ni«ans faith; to a married woman, hope; and to some dames, charity. Try a "Small Ad." It pays. Sleeve Tora Off Mr. 'Wallace Hamilton had a nar- week while buzz sawing wood for Mr. Royden Hunter in the Val- ley. He was working at the engine driving the outfit when the sleeve of his sweater caught on a shaft and instantly commenced to twist. He braced his arm on the frame and at the same time had the presence of mind to throw the lever, shutting off the power. The men operating the saw did not see the accident, but were in the act of cutting a log when the saw stopped. The sleeve of the sweater was ripped off at the shoulder and Mr. Hamilton had a sore arm for a day or so. It is fortunate the accident did not have a more serious ending. A Healthy Increase Flesherton Creamery during the past week has shown a great growth in the patronage it has received since it opened on December l4th last. The amount of cream received during the past week was sixty per cent greater than for the week previous. The ex- tra cent paid for delivered cream means a lot to the farmer when spread over a period. Broilers For Market The buyer who can afford luxuries can usually afford to be discrimina- ting. Broilers may be considered in the luxury class of food products, when properly prepared for market. When disposing of the surplus cock- erels as broilers it is well to bear this in mind and market the birds in the most attractive way. It pays to please the buyer and when there is keen competition it is still more advisable. 'When catering to a select private trade it may speed up sales if the carcass is completely dressed and put up in an attractive carton. When sold drawn the shrinkage will be about forty iper cent of the; live weigrht. and a proprtionate price must be realized to pay for the loss in weight and extra labor. Those birds should be selected that have made good growth; these will be found to be plump and well feathered. The well-feathered firds have less pin feathers and consequently dress much better. Starve the birds for at least twelve hours, but give plenty of fresh, drink- ing water before killing. Kill them by braining and bleeding and dry pick. Sometimes to -save time the semi-scald is advisable. In this case bleed and thoroughly immerse the carcass for not more (than thirty seconds in water not more than 127P and it is also important to keep the water at an even temperature; over- heating will give a skin an unattrac- tive appearance. Cost nf production records at the Dominion Experimental Station. Hai-- row, show that it requires approxi- mately five pounds of feed to raise a broiler on i-ange from chick to two-pound weight. The total cost will vary according to the number raised, price of feed, mortality, price of chick and brooder fuel consumed. It may be roughly estimated that the fee<l cost is slightly under naif the total cost at present prices and under average conditions. J. Dargavel Aga'o Heads Local Curlers The annual meeting of the Flesher- ton Curling Club was held Monday evening when J. 0. Dargavel was re- elected president^ Roy Piper, vice- president and P. H. "W.

Snow Disappeared A week ago great banks of snow were to be seen in town; the road- ways throughout the district were filled to capacity and the plows on the Provincial Highways were kept busy clearing the snow for motor traffic. Today the scene is changed and the banks of snow have vanish- ed. The fields are bare and travel by motor has again been resumed with Feversham and dSinghampton, these hoads having been cleared of their banks of snow by Lockhart's truck and plow, used on the highways in Simcoe County. Rain fell most of Tuesday, clima.xing a mild spell that prevailed since last Thursday, e.xcept for a week end freezing. Two teams and a truck with gangs of men were used to clear the village streets last week, when the vehicular traffic churned the snow and slush into an almost impassable mass. Tuesday afternoon cold weather again ruled and the hockey and curling games will now be able to be resumed.

A hammer mill has been installed in the building known to the public as "Rutherford's implement shop" in this village by Messrs. Vic Graham and Vance Jerrett of Clarksburg dis- trict. Evei-ything was supposed to have been in perfect condition to be- gin operations on chopping the grain which was being brought to the mill. The mill had been running only a few minutes when to the surprise of the operators a pulley broke scattering everything to the four walls. Several men had come in also and they were scattered too, but to the outside of the four walls, and fortunately no one was hurt. The proprietors sent immediately to Toronto for a steel pulley to replace the wooden one and the mill will again be in working order in a few days. These gentle- men are residing in Mr. Lome Hod- gins' bouse in this village. DIED PERIGOE â€" There passed away at his home, 5(> .\lberta Avenue, To ronto, on Monday_ January 9, Thomas Byi-on Perigoe. husband of the late Mary Jane Garfield Spiers. The fun- eral is taking place this aftei'noon from Bates and Maddocks funeral chapel at 2 p.m.; interment in Pros- pect Cemetery. Guelph's Good Record The city of Guelph is justly proud of the fact that no traffic accidents in that cit.v ended fatally in the past year. This is a most unusual record, unequalled even in the Royal City itself' for some y«ai*8, and almost unknown in places sami> size in On- tario. Chief Constable Nash attrib- utes it to strict enforcement of traf- fic regulations and as proof points to the fact that all accident!* are cent than the have been in previous years. Evidently such records can be attained when there is law enforce- ment without fear or favor, education in road courtesy has resulted in less speed among motorists, but more consideration for the rights of others. â€" Elora Expre!«s. Card of Thank* Mr. and Mrs. .1. W. Cook wish to express their deep thanks to the Flesherton Fire Brigade for assist- ance in putting out the recent chim- ney fire at their residence; also to the neighbors for the many acts of helpful kindricss afterwards. Township Boards (The Globe and Mail) The Township of Brunei, in Mus- koka district, has adopted the Muni-' cipal Board plan of administering its public schools. This means that sec- tion school boards will disappear, to be replaced by one body elected by all the ratepayers â€" elected in the .same way and at the same time as the township councils. Other town- ships, to the number of twenty-six, also have changed to this system. The advantages, as pointed out by the department appear obvious. For example, there will be a uniform school tax for the township instead of varying rates for each section. There will be also a saving in the bulk purchase of supplies for the schools. With control over all teach- ers in the township, these may be changed from one section to another until the school in which they can do the best work is found. This should insure longer terms of em- ployment, as a teacher unsuccessful in one section, where there may be obstructing local influences, might get along well in another. From the teacher's point of view this is im- portant; and it also is important in ensuring that pupils will have the advantage of a teacher working in congenial surroundings. At the beginning of the new plan part of the board will be elected for two years and part for one, so that there will always be members familiar with the work going on, thus insur- ing continuity of policy. Five mem- bers will constitute the township board. .A.nother important feature is that the Department of Education makes a gran^ of one hundred dollars to township boards for each section am- altramated in the now foi m of admin- istration. This will lighten the bur- den of school taxation. If the board so decides, schools may have the ad- vantjjge of special teachers in agri- culture, art. music and so on. The irreat thing about this township board plan is that it insures uniformity in teaching throughout the municipality. It will end the patchwork picture pre- sented by one section, more progres- sive, having such courses while others, perhaps for financial reasons, must do without them. The Township of Brunei seems to have made a good start. The Hunts- ville Forester points out that, of the five municipal trustees chosen, "on» was elected fi'om each of the five school sections now in opei'ation." .\nother advantage mentioned by tho Forester is that "men elected by the combined judgment of all the ratepayers are considered safer fot efficiency than in cases where local interests of a school section enter. into the selection of trustees,'' and that "the Government finds it much easier to deal with one board acting for several sections than to deal with each section's local organization." This outline of the plan appears to insure unifonnity. both in teaching and administration, equally desirable in educational work. IN MEMORIAM LeG.ARD â€" In loving memory of our dear mother, Chri.<»tena LeGard. who passed away January I2th, 192;1. We shall meet her again in the splen- dor of home. When He comes in His glory so bright, .â- \nd fills with Hi* beauty creation's grc«t dome With His holy and heavenly light, â€" Ever remembered, Meda and .Allan. Who's Boss? (By I. H, P.) I Rt. Hon. R, B. Bennett said the Churches were falling down on their job. He said that a couple of days ago to Che minister and brethren of his own church at Calgary. Imagine that. And not a word about Govern- ments falling down! Here's that man Tiddlefiddle in again. He barges in just as we were all set to write our column. He's been adventuring again. He's been venturing into scores of different religions in the City, Some you may never have heard about; unless you, too, are a bear for punishment. It is plenty hard for us to get fairly good at one religion. But our philosopher friend said to us: "I'll interpret the symbolic â€" the poetic language of the pulpit for you. Too bad somebody hasn't e.xplained to you such operations as being saved, washed and born again; not In the tone of a ghost in a grave yai-d at midnight, but in words that wouldn't leave you flat as soon as you hit the open air, or the minute a whiff of nice perfume oozed pa.st you. You might then have become religious." "Next Sunday, perhaps, we could go into the matter," we condescended, "but we musn't let it interfere with business. We are just going to write our column this morning while we have nothing else on our mind." "You're dumber than I thought," he said. "The laws of the Prophets are good laws for .vour business and should be good column material. If I can keep my hold on you and at the same time reach up to the hand of the good people who teach religions, I ma.v help. It's quite a long stretch, you being so low, and I may get my shiit sleeves ripped by stretching so far." (W^e could have mown him down for that.) "Let me tell you," he continueil, "about a fellow in your same line of business. He was a ripper to swear. I've heard mine muckers swear at rocks that dropped on their toes, but that was nothing to this fellow's ex- plosive material. He had himself all gummed up with what seemed like coal tar instead of oil ... a lot of black fear, sticky indecision, rod anxiety and dark resentment. .A lot of poisons that had been secreted by such heavy atmosphere had settled in his ankle. It might have been any one of these or similar cases arising from an overambitious nature. He hobbled around on canes and crutches for a couple of years ; and was he mad about everything? Medical men wise ly and kindly told him he should have a change â€" go to some different place â€" do anything for a change. At last he was licked. He was licked physi- call.v. financially and every other way. Then at the last ditch he sud- denly remembered that long ago he had been given "Dominion over all things.' He asked himself the ques- tion: 'who's boss, this darned inani- mate ankle or .Me?' The change that had been recommended was com- ing. 'MEI' he answered, with the mo.st violent anil volcanic determina- tion he had ever known. 'Who's bo.s.s? ME' he roared to high Heaven. "I am boss! It is I, this mind that has 'Dominion over all Things.' Re cussed the crutches and threw them out the back door. 'I'm boss at last.' ho said and walked to his office. There he calmly and confidently a.ssumed 'Dominion' over his financial affairs alsi. He became very well oil' in a short time. The great Intelli- •rence who had given him 'Dominion 'iver all things' did not deny the claim because of his language. That langu- age was understood as well as Eiiquimau.x jr Saffan>ok Indian langu- age would bt^ understood.'' "Hild on there Tidlefiddle" we said, "your'e stretching your shirt sleeves prett.v bad.'' .And yet knowing Tiddle- fidddle as we do, we bcHeved him ab.solutely, "Don't be alarmed," he assured us, such a thing couldn't be a regular Incurrence. You've really got to go to work on that business of deciding who's boss. That is, if you want action. "The Church hands its customers checks on a Spiritual Bank â€" quite a reliable Institution and the customers proudly displaying them in their hat band, find them blown away with the first puff of wind. Perhaps Mr. Ben- nett means that, after haniTng the checks to thp ctistomers. they don't show them where the Bank is â€" just around the corner. They s^v flutter- ing about in mid air and lose the Those Curling Club Critics At the club rooms at the rink On benches row by row. Fellows sit and watch the game While wreaths of smoke they blow. And if you really want to learn The fine points of the play, Don't shoot your rocks, but stay in And listen to what they say. So light your pipe and take a seat W'here it is warm and nice. Where better games are always curled Than out upon the ice. For soon you'll hear, "He's narrow sure, He's coming far too hard; No, no, don't sweep, let it go- He's going to get a guard. Say, watch that guy, the twist he makes In his delivery â€" He'll tie himself into a knot If he should draw the tee. He's wide, he's slow, oh let it hog. He never got the broom, There's no excuse to miss that shot. He sure had lots of room. Now what's he playing that shot for What can he be about, He ought to take a running shot .\nd take the rock right out. He'll never get it with that ice â€" Well look at what he struck. He got it after all, but then He had a lot of luck. But when these men are called to play. These curlers skilled and wise â€" They make the very same mistaken .\s those they criticize. They find it takes but little skill To dissipate advice, And play a scientific game When they are off the ice. So as we pass along life's way. And as we hear them talk, We're always skilful when we throw The other fellow's rock. This disposition is not strange Through life it's much the same, 'We're always wisest when we skip The other fellow's game. IN MEMORIAM RICH.ARDSON â€" In loving mem- ory of our parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robt, Richardson, who pased away January 13 and 9, 19;Jd, respectively 'What would we give their hands to clasp, Their dear kind faces to see, To hear their voices, to see their smiles. As in the days that used to be. â€" Sadly missed by Mr, and Mrs. Harold Richaidson, checks out of their little doo-dad bon- nets or Kelly and there they are, flat as a pancake again,'' Tiiidlefiddle evidently wants to tell us about the students of the Persian Prophet BahaUllnh. Never heard of them before. He says they advise their adherents to go to any church. That seems kinda strange, doesn't it? But if we can get Tiddlefiddle to keep quiet for awhile, we might get our column written yet this morning . . . Oh, what's the use. This space is all used up now. G'bye.
