Will be Held in Oddfellows‘ Hall MONDAY EVENING, MAY 27th, 1929 AT 8,00 P.M. KIWANIS OF NEW LISKEARD SPONSOR ‘SONG OF THE HUB the popular song line. The Advancs has more than once suggested that the North Land needs a poet to strike the public fancy in regard to this country and to depict the wealth, the grandeur and the possibilitiee of this North. While awaiting the arrival of that genius, every good piece of work in song and music may be considered as a help along the way. "The Song of the Hub‘" is copyrightâ€" ed in Canada by George J. White, but it is not likely that there will be objecâ€" tion to the publication of the words of the first verse and the chorus in a newspaper article like this when the copyright feature is mentioned :â€" At the head of the lake was a hamlet, Where a few sturdy souls settled down. And these pioneers from the southland Founded Liskeard, our own little town. Years of unswerving toil and devotion Have brought their reward to the few, the Hub," writen in honour of New Liskeard. The song is sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of New Liskeard, The words and music are by that wellâ€" known musician of the North, Mr. George J. White. a piece of music entit.led "The Song of Certain North Land songs have achieved what may be termed an inâ€" ternational popularity. The "Cobalt" song, for instance, has been heard in all parts of the world in honour of Coâ€" balt, "Oh, you Cobalt, you‘re the best old town I know!" as the song itself puts it. The "Porcupine" song has alâ€" so been very widely sung and very widely quoted and has achieved very extended popularity. â€"terms itself in this song, "the hub of the North."‘ Mr. White has been equally fortunate in his music, the air being attractive and pleasing. The song has proved a very popular favourâ€" ite with the Kiwanis members of New Liskeard, The Advance learns, and its popularity is growing as it becomes known. In words and music alike it is much superior to either the Cobalt or the Porcupine song, but whether it will achieve the widespread fame of either of these "national" songs of the North remains to be seen. In any event is may be said that both Mr. White and New Liskeard are to be complimented on the superiority of this song. In every way it is far ahead of the ordinâ€" ary popular song. This may not seem like enthusiastic praise, because pobuâ€" lar songs are notoriously inane. But it may be said that the offering by Mr. White deserves the approval of the North in general and of New Liskeard in particular. It will generally be conâ€" sidered as a fine piece of good work in The new popular song, "The Song of the Hub" deais exclusively with New Liskeard and puts the Creamery Town on the map so far as a popular song is concerned. The words by Mr. White will make appeal to all the residents of New Liskeard, to the oldâ€"timers of that town, and to all who are, or who have been, connected with this comâ€" munity that nowâ€"and with some reason And this good thriving tc live in Is worthy of effort by you CHORUS We follow the plow, Stack the grain in the mow, Just like the pioneers of old. We play our games And stake our claims, Dig up the silver, the copper and the gold. Our bathing beach In easy reach, With firstâ€"class roads all round!

The new rink will measure 150 by 84 feet. J. M. Deason, president of the Curling Company appeared before the council to present the proposition of the company. Words and Music by Wellâ€"Known Musician, George J. White. This week The Advance has received town that we MAY LOWER AUTO LICENSES, ABOLISH AMUSEMENT TAX Important legislation is being considâ€" ered by the Ontario government for inâ€" troduction at the next session of the Legislature, Hon. Howard Ferguson, prime minister, told the Western Ontaâ€" rio Conservative convention. Mr. Ferâ€" guson‘s long discussed change in the educational system of the province will be laid before the House and if the finâ€" ances of the province continue as favâ€" ourable as they are at present there will be a reduction in automobile liâ€" cense fees and in other taxation. He referred particularly to the amusement tax and indicated it would likely be eliâ€" minated. The premier delivered two addresses which, with those of Hon. R. B. Benâ€" nett, Dominion party leader, were the chief feature of the convention. He spoke first at luncheon and dealt with his educational policy, reserving his taxation reduction announcement for the afternoon session. "Six months of the present fiscal year have now passed," said Mr. Ferguâ€" TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MAY 23rd, 1929 CANADIAN PARLIAMENT BUILDINGS, OTTAWA son. "‘The indications are that the government will be able to carry out certain plans it has had in mind for a long time. We may be able this year to reduce the license fee on cars and other taxes. The amusement tax has been largely a nuisance tax, especially on the average inexpensive show. We may be able to do away with it next year." (From The Renfrew Mercury) They were talking a@bout women friends. "Do you see Emma often?" one inquired. "Oh, yes, quite frequently," the other replied. "Is she happily married?" "Is she?, I‘ll say she is Why, that girl is so happily married she has to go to the theatre for a good cry." Blairmore Enterprise:â€"A local Scotchman decided he would buy a car on the instalment plan, so that he could drive down town to make the payments. TOO HAPPILY MARRIED There is a report current that a smelâ€" ter may be erected at Boston Creek. It seems about certain that somewhere along the T. N. O. main line there will be a smelter erected in the near future and Boston Creek is said to be the likely place. There is no official announcement in the matter as vet. Attention is understood to be have been directed to the matter through the fact that the Smelters Corporation of Canada, Limited, was recently grantâ€" ed a patent for the erection of a smelâ€" ter by the Provincial Secretary‘s Deâ€" partment. Newspapers working on the matter from the clue given by the charter figure out that the smelter will likely be at Boston Creek. Whether this is right or not, or whether there is anything in the story remains yvet to be seen. REPORT THAT SMELTER MAY BE BUILT AT BOSTON CREEK Blairmore Enterprise:â€"A local sport is offering ten dollars to the fiapper that can dance and keep time with music. A few more days of some of the fine weather enjoyed this week and the minds of most householders will be turning to the making of lawns and simiâ€" lar good works. There are a large number of very fine lawns in town, but this is a young country and accordingly there are yet many lots where lawns should be. In some cases the lots are left because of the difficulties encountâ€" ered in turning them into good lawns. The more general the making of lawns the better the general appearance oi the town. Few things help the apâ€" pearance of a town so much as good lawns. Accordingly for both personal and municipal benefit and pleasure the making of lawns is something to be enâ€" couraged. This week The Advance received a circular from the Dominion Departâ€" ment of Agriculture in regard to the making of lawns. The circular conâ€" tains a list of recommendations for the making of lawn as contained in an adâ€" dess delivered by Mr. M. B. Davis, of the Experimental Farm at Ottawa, at the annual convention of the Ontaric Horticultural Association. These reâ€" commendations include the following: SUGGESTIONS REGARDING THE MAKING OF A LAWN Very Important to Have the Soil in Suitable Condition. Helpful Hints on Lawn Making When one is making a new lawn it is | a matter of great importance to have | the soil in suitable condition. A loamy soil is best and will make a very good lawn if properly graded, the surface made over and fine, and the seed put in properly. When one has a clay scil it is necessary to see to it that it is well underdrained as a matter of first imâ€" portance. It is good practice also to apply an inch or two of sand or black muck to the surface and have it worked in to the top five inches of the clay. This, of course, should be done after the grading has been accomplish=d. Neither black muck nor sand will grow good grass without fertilizer. The preâ€" sence of the clay will help but the adâ€" dition of a good mixed fertilizer is well worth while. A mixture of four parts of sulphate of ammonia, three parts acid, phosphate, and one part muriate. of potash makes a complete fertilizer that may be applied at the rate of three hundred pounds per acre which is about one ounce to the square yard of lawn. This should be well worked in to the top soil by raking. A good lawn seed mixture is one consisting of Kentucky blue grass and white Dutch clover mixed at the rate of four to six _bushels of the blue grass and from one to two pounds of the Dutch clover. This amount is sufficient to sow an acre of land. For small lawns of an area of fifty by one hundred feet, one peck of the Kentucky blue grass to a good handful of the Dutch clover is about the right amount. This should be carefully sown when there is no wind blowing, and the soil well rakea and rolled. If an application of this sort is followed within a few days with a shower of rain it will be but a short time until a green sward is evident. A\ most surface soil contains weed seeds it is probable that there will be a conâ€" siderable crop of weeds appear with the new grass. As these are as a rule mostly annuals they will disappear with the frequent cuttings that will be necessary during the season. Ladies‘ Night on Tuesday at the Canadian Legion Next Tuesday evening, May 28th, will be Ladies‘ Night at the Timmins Post of the Canadian Legion. The meeting will be held in the Oddfellows‘ hall, ard an excellent programme has been preâ€" pared for the event. The evening is sure to be enjoyed by all members of the Legion and the Auxiliary and by their friends present for the occasion. The previous evening, Monday, May 27th, the Ladies‘ Auxiliary of the Leâ€" gion will hold a whist drive in the Oddâ€" fellows‘ hall. Social events by the Ladies‘ Auxiliary have invariably been successful and pleasant and all will find it so with the event on Monday night next. Another Legion event worthy of spcâ€" clal note is the big dance to be held on the evening of Victoria Day, May 24th, in the McIntyre hall, Schumacher., The previous dance events by the Leâ€" gion give full assurance that the feaâ€" ture at the McIntyre hall for May 24th will be an extra special for all who enâ€" joy dancing and love a good social time. ie ce se 18e e ate c ind t dn afe Pn afe dn s tion and Free Passport Service Britishers residing in Canada before June 6th, 1928 can bring their wives to Canada for $15.00.
