We devoted a lot of time last week in giving a report of the County Council. For years we have been doing the same thing after each meeting it we could at all find the time and space. It is the only way the public can learn what that great body is doing. But to publish the minutes is one things and to get the public to read them is another. Mem- bers of the County Council will read them, but are they read by others? It would be a satisfaction to us to know if they are read generally. If they are. it would be a satisfaction to give them in the future. but to have only two or three readers to a feature that takes so much time is a poor reward {Or our labor. Tell us if yvu want them and if you do you’ll continue to get them. Besure you get your Valentines well addressed, well sealed and, if valuable, have them registered to in- sure delivery. The Postal Depart- ment has sent out notices to the Postmasters and through them to the local publishers to advise all send- ers of Valentines to exerrise rare. Why should publishers, who have to pay a large amount. every year in postage he expected in do the adver- tising“ tel-nothing? Yet it, is even so. and every little while an indirect re- Illlt‘.~t comes to "bring this to the no- tire of the local papers." The Postal Department boasts «if being a big revenue producer and can well af- ford to pay for the services they get from the little country press that has all it ran do to make ends meet. These notices are advertising pure and simple and, like other advertis- ing, should be paid for. a paper that wasn’t either onset. torn or mutilated. I! such occurred occasionally we could easily under- stand the reason and think nothing about it. but week after week it is the same old thing. In our case we feel that the publishers themselves should he the best critics and judge from the general appearance of the paper the kind or work a person might expect from the oil‘ ice sending it out. In case of an occasional shortage from papers being spoiled in the press or folder :1 cull might be permitted to go unchallenged as an exchange. But in some cases it is the rule rather than the exception. Little things count and 'where the: work is otherwise gtlld and the mat-i ter good the wrapping is done in such a way as to show an utter lack of care in that particular department of the Wnl'k. We contend that the very best product of each week’s output should go to the exchanges. It may he that in some offices the papers are all sloppy and there may he no pick or choice. We have papers on our exchange list that we seldom read from one year's end to the next. We can’t understand how a newspaper pub- lisher having a pride in his business should make it a continuous prac- tice to send the culls to his exchang- es.

Here and there throughout the audience there were people to stand, seven in the whole audience. Why did they ,stand 1’ you will ask. That’s what we wanted to know, till the speaker ex? plainml himself. He said he had been telling us in Gaelic how he happened to be on the platform and had been asking all who understood what he was talking about to signify it by rising to their feet. Only seven did have. Continuing his address, he re- gretted to see. that the Gaelic lan- guage, once the language of the ma- a sermon in his mother tongue was a stronger appeal 'to him than any- thing that could be rendered in Eng. lish. There was a little sensation in the audience when Mr. Thomas Motl‘at made his bow. We were not aware of his ability as a speaker and enter- tainer. There were others equally ignorant of the treat that was eoming, hut fears were soon set a- side as he unravelled his introduct- nry address as a preliminary to a Scottish reeital. which he gave. in line form. He appeared as calm as an old political war-horse and had enough of the Scottish "burr“ to give a rich flavor to his number. I Mrs. A.W.H.

A pleasing.r feature of the whole event, and it was particularly pleas- ing to the writer, was the rendering throughout of old-time numbers, the selections that were known and did- n’t have to be guessed at. Scots Wha Ilae was the opening chorus. and it is often asserted and generally eon- ceded that nothing in Scotch or any other literature breathes forth a stronger sentiment of patriotism. It was well rendered and the same may he said of Annie Laurie, the song that will never die. The medley of Scotch songs was a pleasing and spirited number. The choruses were all good and the choir was in fine, form for the event. In the absence of Rev. Mr. Smith, who was forced to remain at home on account of sickness in his family, the introductory spiel was made by Mayor Smith and after his prelimin- ary oration he touched the button and the program went like clock- work. DREW LARGE AMIDMCB An entertainment was given in the Town Hall on Tuesday night under the auspices of the Durham Presby- terian Choir. The original inten- tion was to hold it on Robbie Burns’ birthday but owing to circumstances over which none of us have control it was postponed to the 6th of Feb- ruary. It was in honor of Scotland’s great poet, none the less, and the change in the date would necessitate no change on the program. It was to be all Scotch, and we believe there were no variations except in the skirt drill rendered near the close.

WIARTON BELT AlGOlAU-‘l‘s. I II can AT PALIERS'I'OI Stung again! That is the verdict. of about half a hundred fans who went to Palmerston last night to see the game between the Argonauts of Toronto, runners-up in the senior O.H.A. race and Wiarton, who are supposed to have a good chance at the intermediate silverware this year. Wiarton simply made a fool out of the Argo team and at one time were leading 6 to 0. Not mention- ing hockey, some of those Argo players couldn‘t even skate, and we think we are safe in saying that the poorest man on the W‘iarton team is faster than the best they had on the Argo outfit. We simply couldn’t see any “senior” stutl‘ in that Argo bunch and made it a point to look up the manager after the game and make a few inquiries. According to the manager the Argos are working, or rather playing under difficulties. Bill Box, Lount and two others of the regular outfit were down with the flu and the Lord knows what ailed two or three others. Of course we looked sad and sympathized with 'him. but at the same time were ‘thinking what a lot. of trouble over- , takes one or the other of two teams as {a rule when they are engaged for an exhibition match. Everything from the fin to a follows great-grand- mother having tripletsâ€"and it. all happens on the me of an “exhibi- tion" game!

The sad affair occurred recently in a small Village called Toronto. a few miles from Winnipeg on the main line of the Union Pecitlc Railway. and not far from the main station at Hudson’s Bay. It appears that a settler named John Shaw, who was president of the Fire, Water and Gas; Club, was on his way home from one of its meetings when almost at his own door a hugs grizzly bear sprang upon him from the adjoining forest. The snow at the time was eight feet deep and the thermometer 50 below zero, and the unfortunate man being on snowshoes and armed only with an ordinary shotgun, was unable to cope with the savage beast and con- sequently was fearfully mangled. llis cries. hrM'eVet‘. brought. to the spot some half-breeds who lived in wig- wams near the edge of the bush and these. with the help of members of the Fire Club. who had also been at.- tracted by the cries, soon despatched the brute.
