'l‘he slogan was i11- vented by a private at one of the ['11- ited States trainingr eamps. It was designed to aeeompany the picture of a man in khaki, and to further the sale ot the \\ a1' Savings St amps, with the words :â€"â€"“You liek them on the baek; we’ll liek them. on the tr’ont. Anything- new. odd or interesting in referenee 1t0 gardens, hortieulture, agriculture, or similar lines has al- ways found ready spaee in The Ad- vance. Ten years and one week ago ago The Advance published the. foliow- ing' :~â€"â€"“Postn1aster Peters is grow- ing potatoes in barrels in his garden this year. He got. the idea from an expert. who claims that this method of growing potwtbes has many advantag- esâ€"â€"â€"time, space and trouble being saved by the plan. The barrels are ventilated by holes bored in the sides. Another expert elaims that the real idea of Mr. Peters’ seheme is this.â€" that as the potatoes grow, the sprouts go through the holes in the barrels, pushing the earth through with them, and by the time the potatoes are ready for market, all the sprouts and all the, soil have been forced through the holes. leaving nothing in the barrels but the potatoes. All that is necess- arv then 1s to put the head in the bar- rel and it is all ready for shipment, by si111pl1 brushing the sprouts flom the sides of the barrels. In the latter .part of the pa1agraph, of course, The Advance was exaggerat- ing' the matter somewhat for humor- ous reasons. Mr. Peters himself had much amusement in extending 011 this idea, but the fact remains that he fouxid the growino- of the potatoes in barrels of actual advantage for many reasons, time, labour and convenience being saved bv the plan. The pota- toes aehiexed a good size, xx ere a good crop, and gener rally the barrel method proved a success. 'I‘he advertisement-s ten years ago were interestii'ig just as they are to- day.

The crowd creating what amounted to a riot were foreigners who were mak- ing good money in Timmins during the war, and their attitude was greatly re- sented by the British people here. There was much disappointment and disapproval when Consovit‘eh was al- lowed his freedom on suspended sen- tence when he came before the judge at Haileybury assizes. It was under- stood that. Consoviteh’s liberty de- pended upon his good behaviour and his avoidance. of agitation during tlie war at least. But this was 21.1.)pareii't- ly only a joke. Consovitch seemed to get into police court in most of the places he visited. yet the judge who had suspended sentence never lifted the. suspension in any of these cases, and Consovitch continued to he more or less of an annoyance to loyal people until the soldiers came home. Ten years ago The Advance called atten- tion to the fact that at. Brantt‘ord Consovitch was fined $500.00 and costs for distributing literature eon~ sidered as injurious to the prosecu- tion of the .war. Some of the pamph- lets were reported by the despatehes as urging all workmen to refuse to work more than four hours a day, and to throw down their tools it" their de- mands were refused. On Saturday afternoon, July 27th. 1918, in the Red Cross rooms, a meet- ing of ladies interested in work a- mong girls was held for the purpose of forming a local association to sup- ervise and encourage the Girl Guides movement in the Timmins district. Rev. B. S. Cashing presided at the meeting and the following executive committee .was elected :â€" president, Mrs. A. F. Brigham; vice-president. Mrs. R. J. Ennis; secretary-treasurer, Mrs. V. \Voodbury. A company of Girl Guides had already been formed un- der the captaincy of Miss \Vinnifred Salmon. The company met every Fri- day night at 7 o’clock in the .St. Matthew’s church school room. The Advance pointed out that the organâ€" ization was for girls of every denom- ination and creed, and the movement was a very worthy and helpful one. The Advance suggested that any girls over 11 years of age who wished to join should secure permission in writ- ing from their parents, and see the captain. the war to make a team at the time. The local league games made a lot of fun and interest. One of these is! thus described by The Advance :--â€" “A big crowd of interested spectators wit- nessed the week-end game of baseball. The teams playing were somewhat the same as the previous week,-â€"with ai few changes. The Bankers (Science), however, this time triumphed over the Merchants (Brute :Strength), as they have been descri.l)ed,â€"â€"the score being 16 to 15. It is ever thus that.‘ Science will defeat Brute Strength. Vincent \Voodbury acted as umpire. and Ben Martin as base umpire though some of the players pretended to believe that they were‘both “base umpires." The play was interesting: throuhgout though the umpire got‘l mixed in his book-keeping.Solne ot' the; plays were good, but can not be men-i tioned. as that would entail a refer- ence also to the poor plays. which would take too much space.

It is only fair to say that while there are daily newspapers that; foolishly feature evil and sensation- alism, the majority of the daily news- papers are conducted on a high plane. Also, there are some weeklies that are little better,â€"exeept in the degree im- the most objectionable of thetheahi posed by their opportunitiesâ€"than the most olbjeetiona‘ble of the city sheets.

The pages of the big dailies are so full of murder, thievery', immorality and selfishness, that the better news is dbsenred by these. glaring shatter- ings of the Deealogue.
