thing that injured Tisdale Township in years gone by. _ Previously Timâ€" mins had always been a friendly town. Distinction of classes and creeds was earnestly avoided. _ Men differed in opinion without hate, and beld opposing views without malice and mudâ€"slwmging. Men gave of their time and talent to the service of the town, feeling at least that they would not be persecuted for their efforts. One council followed another without defaming their predecessors. Town oflicals knew that it was service that was required of themm, not friendship with the new council. At one time in Tisdale the election of a new council practically meant the dismissal of all officials. Men like Mr. Chas. V. Galâ€" lawher deserve great ~credit beceause Ten years ago people in Timmins were interested in the trouble endurâ€" ed by the people of the neighbouring township of Tisdale. Serious trouble it was, with bitterness.and recriminâ€" ation. A group in the‘ township enâ€" tered municipal affairs, levelling all sorts of charges against those who had conducted the affairs of the townâ€" ship. The matter was taken to the courts, and The Advance of Sept. 13th, 1916, makes the following reâ€" ference to the final action of the court in the / matter. The case of J. E. Cook, of . South _ Poreupine, which has been on trial in the courts for some time, has heen dismissed by His Honour Judge Hartman, which clears the defendant of the remaining Tisdale charges made against him. Mr. Cook being wellâ€"known and highâ€" ly respected among his fellow townsâ€" men, his friends will, no doubt, be glad to hear and gladly welcome this dismissal.‘‘ Unfortunately, for Tisâ€" dale Township the. dismissal by the court did not finish the matter. â€" For years in the township there was bitterâ€" ness and illâ€"will because of the tharges. Mr. Cook, who gave generâ€" ous and public spirited services to the municipality, without thought of the cost to himself in time, strength and money, ~felt the injustice of the charges very keenly. _ He and his friends felt that dgspite all the clearâ€" ings by the courts some of the mud might stick. He believed that, deâ€" spite hig earnest and wholesouled efâ€" forts for the township, he was purâ€" sued by a vernom and maliciousness that were very far from being warâ€" ranted. It is believed by many that his idea ‘that he was being unjustly persecuted hastened his death. In his death the township lost a good friend who had done much to estabâ€" lish its prosperity, and after ten years it is impossible to believe that any good purpose was accomplished by the chargesâ€"charges, it should be reâ€" membered, that the courts dismissed after the prosecution had been grantâ€" ed all sorts of time in which to subâ€" stantiate any accusations made. For years the township of Tisdale suffered from the effects of this municipal disâ€" pute. Bitterness of almost unbelievâ€" able type was stirred up. Friendships were severed, and the people in genâ€" eral gained nothing and lost much. Last year The Advance earnestly begâ€" ged the people of Timmins to avogt a similar situation here.

Miss Eva Emond, Magog, P. Q. us. â€" Why should we pin our meteoroâ€" logical faith to a goose? It may be that in its northern homeâ€"somewhere up by Abitibiâ€"this particular colony of wild fowl saw the residents at a practice football match on one of the cold, raw days with which the month opened, and by association of ideas reached the conclusion that their southern journey should be begun. In any event, the sagacity of the wild goose as a weather forecaster is disâ€" credited. . He has deceived us too often. He is no more to be relied on than the patent medicine _ almanae. There is a suspicion abroad, too, that he is becoming â€" effeminateâ€"unable, for all his feathers, to endure the cold Besides these reasons for rejecting the warning of the wild goose there is the fact that as yet we have had no real summer. . Let the geese, then, and the squirrels and groundhogs do their worst to inspire us with fear. Let us remain unconvinced. It will be time enough to set our winter house in order when the ice man offers to cut his rates and the coal man aâ€" gain puts up the price of fuel.‘" trouble. Up t / thk end of last week no triâ€" anglesJof wild geese had been noticed going!| south \through â€" this â€" district. Last week, h@awever, some were noted at Cochrane on their fall trek southâ€" ward. In Western Ontario triangles of geese were also seen on the jourâ€" ney to a warmer climate. Apparentâ€" ly the birds follow certain wellâ€" deâ€" fined air routes, as both tWose noticed at Cochrane and further south were coming from the Hudson Bay country but travelling by different routes. Those that will pass over and near Timmins will also be coming from the Hudson Bay country. Of course, that Hudson Bay area is an immense terâ€" ritory, and so it is but natural that from so wide a stretch of country, there should be many different armies of the wild geese in their southward voyage from the far north. When the wild geese start south it is taken generally as an indication of the very near approach of winter. This may mean this year that while winter is imminent for the rest of the country, it is farther away for the Timmins district. That would be all right for Timmins. _ The Toronto (GHlobe, however, does not believe, apâ€" parently, that there is any connection between the trek south ‘of the geese and the approach of winter. _ The (GHobe deals with the. matter in an editorial article last week, saying:â€" It is all right to but it is just as through once in a It is not what a man stands forâ€" it is what he falls for that causes ‘*Already the wild geese are going south,"‘‘ a sure sign, we are told, of approaching winter. The tidings were conveyed to The Globe in a despatch from a Western Ontario correspondâ€" ent. He states that on Sunday last a large triangle of these migrating birds was seen hefded for warmer latitudes. But if one swallow does not make a summer, neither does one trangle of wild geese make a winter. The publw will be well advised not to be alarmed. The Big Fair is not yet over, and the weather is as balmy as any we have hbhad since the end of Mayâ€"more zephyrlike, in truth, than much that July and Aucgust conceded WILD GEESE SAID TO BE GOINKNG SOUTH THIS EARLY WHERE $ YOUR PEP"?

Messrs, McKissock and Simpson, however, should be given the heartiest welcome from all, as they are not only what they represent themselves to be, but they are supporting a very worthy cause. The Canadian Legion is an amalgamation of all the responâ€" sible soldiers‘ societies and organizaâ€" tions. It is now established on an excellent basis, and everyone can be assured that any assistance given w1ll be of direct help to the returned soldiers and their dependents in Canada. REPRESENTATIVES OF THE CANADIAN LEGION IN TOWN Simpson are in town this week makâ€" ing a canrass on behalf of the Canaâ€" dian Legion of the British Empire Service League. They are receiving funds to assist in carrying on the work of the Legion, and any and all may feel perfectly free to make doâ€" nations to them, as they are fully authorized in their work and carry the proper credentials. In addition, they have the endorsation of Capt. Geo. E. Cole, who is a member of the executive of the Canadian Legion in Ontario, and who met them on their arrival in this Camp andâ€" assured himself of their bona fides. On more than one occasion, there have been canvassers in connection with alleged work for soldiers who were either not what they represented themselves to be or represented work that was not what it represented to be. At the last meeting of the Canadian Legion Capt. Cole brought this very matter before the executive, so that the pubâ€" lic mpight be protected. . It may be said that hereafter greater care is to be used in the matter of allowing canâ€" vassing that is not strictly in keeping with what is represented. Much ereditable activity: is being shown by the Hebrew Ladies‘ Aid Society, and it is expected that this society will be of matetrial assistance and advantage.
