"Congratulations are certainly due to Principal Griffin and his splendid staff, in the honor they have attain- ed, in building up a reputation that carries the record, that for the past seven years no one pupil from the school who has tried their entrance ex- aminations, has failed "This year there were some 72 pup- ils who tried their exams and every one of them passed, with the added honour of having two of them, Bar- bara Watts and Eleanor Law, stand- ing with the Highest honours obtain- ed in the Township." «outh at 3.30 For morning train â- outh mail closes at 9.00 p.m. the previous evenin?. owof Noble Law ober, 1923, and daughters and <" ton, Mrs. Burnt Galbraith, Vulcr. jnce, who died Oct- 3 survived by four ur sons, Mrs. Pat- :, Rowley; Mrs. G. , and Mrs. Apple- L0C3l and Personal !*â- '" <^*^*' °"^: ^^illiam and Thomas, I Vancouver; Edwi.i, Vulcan and Les- Flesherton play ball in Kimberley ! ^''«' Cornish, Aha.

There are several Motoriz- ed Circuses in the States, but owing to the high custom duties these ag- gregations do not cross the Internat- ional Borders The Motorized shows are as big, and many are even better than the railroad shows, but through using motor vehicles cut down their overhead expense considerable, be- sides being able to move more freely and exhibit at towns where a railroad could not handle them without charg- ing them a prohibitive rate.

John Wright Nothing in Tlie Paper Frequently you pick up a paper and after glancing at the headlines, wear- ily thrust it aside, remarking, "Noth- in the paper to-day." Did you ever stop to think what the phrase, "Noth- ing in the paper to-day" means? It means that in the day or week juat passed, that no misfortune has be- fallen anyone in our town; that no fire has wiped out you neighbor's wordly goods; that the grim angel of death has crossed no threshold of a friend, that no man driven by liquor, hatred, fear or desire for unearned gain, has taken the life of a fellow- man; that no poor devil haunted by the past, or the misdeeds of some other, has crossed the great divide by taking his own life; that no care- less or drunken auto driver has run into or injured or killed an innocent family; that earthquaire, tornado or flood has not wiped out a whole com- munity. So the next time you are promoted to protest "Nothing in the paper to-day," just return thanks in- stead of grumbling because there is no news. it 1 A SHOW OF SUPREMELY-S'iX-?;ir\DOUS SURPRISES Evsry /ir: /] rci-i.-o .'..;J ;.V.^.-/ f-^ra a ritiHI - â- â- -â- â-  p.'<a3t.NTSi) A-a50LlTH.'.Y ."'12 ILMt.CZ ON KON'O.T ^ E-zcriiHa.Nâ„¢', No-«lC<i;l/ cal Con-4-.:af.
