September 26. 1923 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE !No! We are NOT selling out I WE ARE HERE TO STAY and will up- hold our record of giving SERVICE and selling only GOODS THAT PASS THE MARK of high quality that we have set since this business was founded.

Editor BOOST THE FAIR FURTHER Comparison lias shown that while on sonic articles they appear high, they are found in the end, really lower when coin pared to goods bought elsewhere. There it something very much wrong when goods appear to be sold cheaply. We are i-ver \villing and ready to compare our goods with those which you may perchance get a little lower somewhere else. We have faith in our goods and in our charges. Therefore we ay this WATCH YOl'R BUYING and compare JTetoeler? W. A. Armstrong & SOD FLESHERTON Flesherton Fall Fair takes place on Thursday and Friday of this week and good weather is hoped for. The country fair is in a different position to its big city cousin which has two weeks of hilarious existence for the sole purpose of advertising, amusing, buying and selling. The city fair is really not the competitive concern found at the country fair. The latter is competitive throughout and no attention is paid to the commercial end. In the past merchants and man- ufacturers paid more attention to advertising their wares at country fairs than they do ao present. At some points, however, this does not hold good, and the merchants do take a keen interest in their fairs, making fine displays of their goods in spec- ially constructed booths. The town of Meaford is in this class, the mer- chants there doing themselves honor in this respect. In Flesherton, and in fact at most other country fairs, con- ditions are the opposite, merchants taking little or no interest in the fair in the way of displaying their wares. The Advance would like to seo a change in this respect. The country fair has not reached the end of its usefulness by any means, and every effort should be put forth by everyone to make it the suc- cess it ought to be. Every person in the district should muke it a point to attend and thus lend their aid to boost the fair.

But that depends on where you live in this world, and is not wholly correct, and there are peoples who never saw bread in any form. Our observation is that different nationalities have diverse this question. Ask a Canadian hoy what is "the staff of life"and he will say". Manitoba wheat." views t on HARDWARE DEPARTMENT STOVES !

This will induce the farmers to wash their eggs and no egg will spoil faster than a washed egg. Ik-fore being washed there is a certain amount of iilhn- men on the nhell of the CKR which jielpi to keep the pores closed up. When this IB washed off the water gets in, and inside a week, mould has Ix'trim to form on the inaijle of the shell. Tho CKK will be spoiled Inside of eight Hays, and cold storage cannot save it. It is therefore very import- ant that the farmers do not try to ivrtify the fault of the e({K^ l>einp dirty by wnshini;, us this will IT nit in the HpoiliiiK of the epg altogether. when (leo. G.

Mi.ldlol.ro, K.C., appeared lor Mr. Allherry. Th application was opposed by Mrs. Allberry, who claimed that she was in a better po- sition to care for the child than his father The mother appeared in per- son without a solicitor, and made a dramatic appeal for the child. She claimed that she had spent the last five years of her life carinp for the lioy, had (jivcn him careful attention, and had devottcd all her energy to K'ivinj,' him the best education pos- sible. Mr. Allberry was (fiven the custody of the boy, aa he showed that he had a good home for him, and was well able to educate and look after the youngster. The mother is to have access to her child every fort night, and Mr. Allberry expressed his wllingness to have her come back and live at home. Mrs. Allberry, who is a well edu- cated, refined woman, and very well known in Meaford, was heart-broken at the loss of her child. Some time ago she left her husband's home in Men ford and disappeared, taking with her young Robert, who is only about five years old. For a long time her husband could not locate her and when he did could not get the child. A habeas corpus motion was brought on by him in Tornoto last winter by which his wife was rctpuir- ed to bring the boy into court. This was not done, however. It was only a few months ago that Mr. Allberry found his son in Rochester, where the mother was teaching school. He was able to get the lad and bring him home. Tuesday's application now gives him legal control of the infant. Sun-Timctt. An Arthur youth was fined $6 for carying a revolver. J. J. Shaw of Riverstown, near Mt.
