"Port Perry, Ont, July 15th, 1918 -Is's quite a spell since I writ yer a letter. The fact is I ain't got ter the place where I kin git over the habit in ter bed at ten o'clock, and I'm that sleepy after makin my last raid on the tater bugs that I can't keep my eyes open, and my 1dears gaes runin inter one another like the stain of huckleberry pie on young Jim's face and clothes, or the col- ors of the rainbow, jest accordin ter how 1 feel; but I couldn't put them idears on paper 50's you could make em out anyway. * I'm glad, and so is the rest of the folks, that you're gettin on all right and that yer "feel jest like a bird." 1 run acrost a thing the other day that's too good ter keep, so I jest thought I'd pass it on ter you and the rest of the boys. There's an old woman of seventy what keeps the light of New York's inner harbor, and she's made a discovery that 'ud do the rest on us a heap of good, if we'd only-make use on it. 'Here's her discovery: "There is so much that you think that it isn't needful to say." That woman's had a-heap of time ter think, and never no surplus of company ter unload her thoughts onter. And she's found out that the world goes on jest the same, or mebbe a mite better, if she don't tell all she thinks. Our minds had orter have a fannin mill attachment on em, fer there's a heap of chaff and trash that gets in, and it aint no use spreadin the truck round, and raisin weeds all over our own lives and the lives of our naybers. . I jest thought mebbg this idear might be some good ter yer, seein as how everythin 'that gogs on round yer ain't disinfected. But fer good- ness sake, if yer havea bushel or two of good mind wheat, don't go hoardin it. There's too many good minds gone on where our immense facts likely seem small, but we has ter go on and do the best we kin as long as we're here. Good-bye, Jack, take care of yerself. Your affectionate father, Successful Candidates at Entrance Examinations . PORT PERRY The following is a list of the successful candidates who wrote on the recent Entrance Examinations at Port Perry: Alfred Andrus (hon) Holley Brown Charles Cawker (hon) Mary Christie Ralph Honey Sarah McPhail Gordon Martin Lewis McLean (hon) Bruce Reeson Orval Switzer D'Arcy Berry Jessie Burnett Lulu Christie Lillian Gould Arthur (Mansell) Jackson Eunice Malcolm (hon) Stella McKee Raymond Palmer (hon) Hiida Rose (hon) Douglas Taylor Aylmer Tennyson (hon) Ellen Wilkinson Gola Wilkinson Alice Williams Ernest Garrow, who was unable to write the examin- ation, will also receive a certificate. "Twenty-nine candidates wrote, twenty-four passed Fourteen candidates from Port Perry Public School wrote the examination; thirteen passed, six with honours. This is a wonderfully good showing in view of the fact that a number of the candidates were promoted to the Senior Fourth at Easter, and nearly all of them lost weeks of schooling owing to the epidemic of mumps. Mr. McLean and the successful pupils are to be complimented upon this success under difficulties. Five of the Port Perry candidates were in the En- trance Class about three months, four of them passed, one ~ with honours. s « #& WHITBY 48 Candidates 29 passed Lawrence Agg Isabel!

As a result of the man power registration of June 22nd, a great deal of necessary information has been gathered as to the fitness and willing- ness of men and boys in the towns and cities to do farm work during the haying and harvest. A large percentage of the men and boys registered have expressed a willingness to undertake farm work, and have had more or less experience. Farmers requiring help should immediately apply to R. M. Tipper, Ontario Department of Agriculture, Whitby, when all assistance possible will be given to secure the necessary help. It is im- portant that all requests for help should be sent in immediately in order that the help may be on hand at the proper time. Passing of the Melodious Mule. J. J. Montague in New York American By operating on a mule, scientists have succeded in making him voiceless A few can touch the magic strings, And noisy Fame is proud to win them; Alas for those who cannot sing, But die with all their music in them. --OQliver Wendell Holmes. How often as the dusk drew near, A kindly and impulsive brute And vagrant breezes stirred the pool, In silence must pursue his ways, We've paused beside the path th to hear The song upon his hips is mute, The evening carol of the mule. And all his days are brayless days. A simple and unstudied strain, \ As from a heart that overflowed, It rose and fell and rose again, And died in echoes down the road. Now, science may be right, of course, Perhaps the mule is no musician, And merely brayed till he was hoarse To gratify a false ambition Perhaps the Muses passed him by, Caruso's genius may have missed him! And yet its sad that he must die With all that music in his system! But science, with its ruthless knife. These vibrant cords has learned to sever; That song that spoke the joy of life In zigzag bars is stilled forever. Please Don't Neglect the Cat. Talking of "heartfelt songs," listen to ours: Well not regret if science bites Full well we know the job will kill Its keen-edged part in all the cats, them: : Bh pracetul hts No cat can here be long delayed "Sleep in our mansions, cots or "With all that music ghia sma" | Our ancient grudge will then be paid; F.
