Mildmay Gazette. The Garrick Council, in an effort to let off the big pond of water that has accumulated on the 6th concession, and has blocked that road for traffic, engaged S. Weingart of Grant to blast a few holes in the ground on the road- side. where the water is about ten feet deep. Reeve Weiler and Road Super- intendent assisted Weingart, and they put in three heavy shots that tore the ground up terribly and made an awful splash. but the water has not yet showed any signs of diminishing.â€" Bread is now being retailed in Thombury, Clarksburg and commun- ity at 8 cents a loaf, the lowest price since the war days.

It is the property of A. R. Goyne, now of Oshawa, and a former resident of Drayton. and the mitt was purchased at the time Mr. Goyne was catcher for the Drayton team. It is a left-handed glove, and shows little sign of the wear and tear which it has under- gone since it was first purchased. Mr. Fox, as one of the officials of the original team has held the glove in his possession since the club dissolved.

The Women’s Hospital Auxiliary of Hanover have installed a new electric washing machine at the local hospital recently. The machine is the institu- tion type, suitable for hotels, hospitals. etc., having an extra large capacity. The machine and installation will cost about $500.â€"Hanover Post.

Frank was rather curious as to what the Brant farmer’s big idea could be in joy-riding in a field when he had only to meander out to the Elora Road a short distance away, and avail him- self of a much better speedway. So he stopped his own car and parked on the roadside to ascertain what it was all about. Up and down the field, in a methodical manner, the Chev. coupe, chugged merrily along. And then the Elmwood man got wise. Hitched on behind the car was a harrow, and as the ground was dry and the farmer, Charlie Tanner, had no tractor, he was getting in some speedy harrowing which had been greatly delayed this spring by the inclement weather. Other farmer owners of cars who wish to catch up in their spring work on the land might take this as a red hot tip and emulate the example of the Brantite, providing of course, that their land could be worked by this method.â€"Chesley Enterprise.

William Taylor of the Ren- voyle, of the Canadian Steamship Line was the winner of the hat pre- sented by Goderich to the first captain to reach this port for the season. The Renvoyle arrived on April 18th, and the presentation was made that even- ing in the town council chamber. Mayor MacEwan welcomed the captain as the first to reach Goderich harbor and also as the first to reach a Can- adian port. This is the first time in a good many years that the mayor’s hat has gone to a Canadian captain. The Renvoyle’s cargo was for the ele- vator.â€"Collingwood Bulletin. The Brennan Paving Company has been bringing in its plant during the past week, and re-installing it at the C. N. R. station. It has either been ,renewed, rebuilt or repaired and is in shape to begin the summer’s work. It is expected that it will begin finish- ing the paving north of the town next week, and it is understood that it may receive the contract for paving south of town to Kenilworth so as to complete the section between Mount Forest and Arthur this year. â€"Mount Pores: Confederate.

Many opinions were voiced as to the wisdom of setting this artificial hen in such a conspicuous and noisy place, it being at the front door, where light and sounds may interfere with the peace and quiet of the forthcoming brood.

Hatched In Store taken by the Thornbury Bakery on May lst, in reprisal to the bakeries of several out-of-town firms in ,offering their product to the local public When is a local weekly newspaper justified in printing the news, or sup- pressing it, when a local citizen gets into trouble and thence to the police court? This question again came up in the office of The Post this past week. when we were, called to task for pub- lishing the details of a recent escapade Ehere. This question is the bugbear of small town newspapers. In a large place, it is a different matter. PeOple do not know each other so well and the circulation of the :paper is not con- fined to the locality in which it is printed. So far as The Post is con-‘ cemed, we have always endeavored to temper mercy with justice. We have largely refrained g from printing the affairs of local peOple who have trans- gressed the law in minor affairs. par- ticularly if they did not reach the police court stage and thus become more or less public property. When the matter gets into the courts, a news- paper (if it be a newspaper at all) cannot overlook it. It is a difficult question for a local paper to handle. Some papers cover more “dangerous” subjects in. their own community than -LL __A_ When a provincial officer shot to death at Balsover the vagrant Bren- nan, who refused to obey an order to stop, there was an outcry of condem- nation. The criticism would seem to have been justified because both Bren- nan and Orval Shaw had been in the lhands of police on previous occasions and neither had shown any tendency towards desperation. The very day some newspapers were making known their disagreement with the acquittal of Constable Purvis of the charge of shooting Brennan a gang ’ of despera- does robbed a bank at Beamswille and literally held the town at bay with a bombardment of firearms. The town constable, the only man in a position to do effective work in preventing flight was compelled to take refuge in a jewelry store which was badly damag- ed by the bullets from the bandits’ guns. Shooting these men could no‘ doubt be justified in a court of law and in public opinion. The question arising from these two episodes is how is a policeman to know the characte1 of his quarry. If the criminal shoots first there may be no policeman. There are few, if any, policemen, who cannot be trusted to use a gun only when necessary.â€"Alliston Herald. While there is a growing keenness in Ontario for education and parents are sending their children to school for a longer period than perhaps ever before, there is also a certain uneasi- ness that the pupils in the schools are not getting the kind of education they require. It ' sometimes appears that scholars are being all crowded down the same spout. and they are not really being educated for positions which they might be capable of filling. At. present a widespread movement '3 afoot to provide classes for pupils who do not take kindly to an all-book course, but would find relief and bene- fit studying more practical things. Many towns are following the lead of the cities and Opening these classes. The changes suggested by the Premier regarding higher classes in the Colleâ€" giate Institute is also another sign that some change is impending.â€"Orillia Packet-Times. The English starlings have put in an appearance in this town. Probably many people have noticed them with- out knowing the bird. and many others have not noticed them because the starling closely resembles the common lblackbird. The starling is, however. not quitexas black and a little smaller than the blackbird and its cry is much different. Some writers claim. the bird is harmful while others say the direct opposite. If the starling is harmful then it should be exterminatéd before their number increases beyond hand- ling.â€"â€"Kincardine Review-Reporter. There are increasing protests that the urban centres are getting tired of being hewers of wood and drawers of water for the province. If the prov-~ ince wants to levy increased taxes, they feel that some of it should be returned to the places from which it is taken, particularly in reference to the tax on gasoline, and the motor license fees.â€" Hanover Post. i The captured pair stoutly denied the Fa‘ccusation, but Mr. Hilker claims to :have evidence that may incriminate them. The affair has been reported to the C. N. R. investigation department and a detective is expected to be shortly despatched here to delve into the matter and bring the guilty parties to justice, as the placing of obstacles on a track such as might wreck a train and endanger human lives, is an indictable offence that renders the perpetrator liable, on conviction. to a long prison term.â€"Wa1kerton Herald- Times. OTHER PAPERS’ OPINIONS Things were all set for the big sen- sation, when Section Foreman John Hilker happened on the scene and dis- covering the barricade hastily removed it, at the same time grabbing two youths whom he suspected of the act, while a third lad took to his heels and With a view of getting a thriller, it is thought, when the C. N. R. passeng- er train would breeze into Walkerton and hit the obstacles on the track, some local urchins are claimed to have fastened three angle-bars, weighing 50 lbs. each, in such a manner across the rails at the C.

Education Changing Use of Firearms THE DURHAM CHRONICLE As speeds increase, no remedy for the advancing number of accidents will. be found in stricter driving tests or im- provedwarningsignals. Deviceswill havetobe foundsneedier thanthe humannmoussystém. Tests with a group of typical auto- mobile drivers have shown that the av- erage time needed to see a danger signal, realize its meaning and begin to press the brake lever is a little more than half a second. In that time, a car travelling forty miles and hour would move thirty feet. That distance represents the minimum margin of safety the driver must maintain to avoid accident. The explanation is that the fall of twenty or twenty-five feet before he grabbed the rope occupied about one second and a quarter, which was time enough for his thinking machinery to issue the orders which made his muscles take hold of the rope below at the proper ins'tant. Had he been placed in equal danger while driving an automobile at sixty miles an hour he would have been killed. Some months ago, a workman fell out of the fifteenth floor of a building in course of construction in New York City. On the thirteenth floor he grab- bed a rope hanging from a scaffold and swung himself in on the twelfth floor, saving his life. He afterwards confes- sed that he was 'as much astonished by his‘ act as anyone who saw him. The fastest thing that any man can do is to wink his eye. The instinctive reaction of winking when a cinder blows into the eye is about one-tenth of a second for 'most people. In that flash of time. an automobile speeding sixty miles an hour "will move nearly ten feet. A fast airplane will move more than twenty-five feet. ' Thus, the pilot can run into a small bird after he has first seen it before he can wink his eye against the expected shock. writes E. E. Free in Popular Science Monthly. WHAT CAN HAPPEN S. S.
