THE PUBLISHERS' TRIALS i Few readers will appreciate thei adverse conditions under which thisl great famîly journal was publishedi last week, unless they are told. Asi it was the paper was only one day late. The conditions were these: Wednesday the chief editor, wîthoutý any conscious warning, was attacked by the flu and took to bis bed with his physician in attendance. He is still off duty but convalescing nicely. Monday 'the two linotype operators were attacked an.typesetting ceased. The son of one member of the firm was called from high school and op- erated the linotype that day and in due time the paper was got to press, and by the help of the f oreman's f am- ily was maîled in time to catch the outgoing mails Thursday night and Friday morning. To add to the general resuit of the flu the associate editress and foreman became also victims of the epidemic and as their presence, under the circumstances was indespensable they persistently "stood to their guns", sneezing and coughing "to beat the band". Mon- day morning found the office staff on deck again, excepting the senior edi- tor, and the usual routine has àone on, but this week's paper is going to be somewhat late as it bas been diffi- cult to overtake the work that felu behind last week, But "all's well hat ends weIl".

Fletcher Complete Twenty-Five Years of Married Lif e.: Among recent pleasant, social events was the celebration on Satur- day, May 6, of the twenty-fifth wed- ding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. A. H.

About twenty-five relatives assembled at their comfortable home, "The Ros- ery"', and after a f ew words of greet- ing and expressions of good wishes, the company was called to order by Mr. Norman Greenfield. A nicely worded address was read by Miss Dorothy Plummer, and Miss Dorothy Greenfield presented Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher, on behaîf of the company, with a beautiful Sîlver Basket filled with roses. A number of other ap- propriate gif ta were presented to the bride and groom of a quarter cen- tury.
