These sheep are imported for breeding purposes, and must conform to all regulations as to health and be subject to all Quarantine, orders. The supply of these classes .of sheep in Canada is not sufficient to meet the demand, and a large quantity is available in the United States for export. Similar action has been taken during the past few years on recommendation of the Min Last week's Havelock Standard contained a summary of the results of the Entrance examinations in Peter-boro County. 338 candidates wrote on the examinations and only 121 were successful, 23 taking honors. At Cordova 14 wrote and 5 passed; at Havelock centre 53 wrote and 28 passed, and at Norwood 51 wrote and 36. were successful. In Marmora public school there has not been a failure by an" entrance pupil in five years or more in spite of the fact that the majority of the pupils only spend one year in the fourth class, says the Marmora Herald THE WEEKLY NEWSPAPER The Port Arthur News-ChronicaJ has a brief for the town newspaper. It considers the latter a national factor of no mean importance as compared with the metropolitan journals. Our Lake Superior contemporary says:-- "Turning from the city newspapers to the small town press exchanges that come to our desk, is like stepping "from the slums, full of vile, into an old fashioned garden sweet with lavender and thyme and the scent of perennial flowers. Tht pages of the big dailies are so full of murder, thievery, immorality and selfishness, that the better news is obscured by these glaring shatiterings of the decalogue. One puts the papers aside with a feeling of depression and heart ache that the world is so full of teiv rible and unhappy things. Then picking up the papers that record the happenings of the little cities, one gains renewed faith in life. Here j* set fort* only that which uplifts*** community--the activities of the business men, the church news, the civic good acocmiplished by the women, school items, the happy, the happy social gatherings of the people, the marriages, births and deaths, farmer items, and ail the thousand and one daily occurences that make up the simple annals of the great common people, who are really the foundation of this broad country of ours. Sometimes people speak, lightly of the country newspaper, but it is one of the most potent and uplifting factors in our existence. The great dalies have their mission, but their scope is too big to touch very closely the inner things of life." AUGUST ROD AND GUN The August issue of Rod and Gun and Canadian Silver Fox News, which is just published, contains a highly interesting collection of yarns and stories of outdoor Canada and hunting and fishing. In the list there is a very good story of a more unusual humorous type in "So This is Moose Hunting," by John Richmond. The contents also include several articles of a con-servational note, as well as useful information for hunters, fishermen and The Guns and Ammunition department, edited by C. S. Landis, includes much useful material for the gun crank, while anglers, . outdoorsmen, campers and dog men are well catered* to in the special departments edited by well known authorities. The Canadian Silver Fox News section contains a very complete report of the annual meeting of the Canadian National Silver Fox Breeders' Association. Rod and Gun and Canadian Silver Fox News is published monthly by W. J. Taylor Limited, Woodstock, Ontario.
