CULTIVATE HABIT OF
SENDING IN MEWS
One of the things that ought to
become fixed habits in every house-
hold to Clinton Is that of, sending
The New Era the news items that
they may know of; tell us of your
news and any neighborhood or other
items that will be of interest to
yourself, your neighbors or your
friends.
Every lodge, church body or
social organization should have some
representative who will promptly
and carefully after its news report-
ing. If you think some organization
has better news servtte than your
own, it is probably because that or-
ganization looks after such matters
, better.
Write your items and send them
In when possible. Or telephone
them to No. 30, but please don't ask
that long lists of names be taken
over telephone, as it not only re-
quires much time, 'but is fruitful in
possibilities of error.
Above all, be early. Never wait.
till late on Thursday to send an item
that can be sent In days before.
The New Era telephone number is
30 and at nights 95. Fins them In
your mind.

GODERICH TQWNSHiP
At the close of a three -hoer meet-
ing at Porter's Hill in Goderich Town-
ship, the farmers present tendered a
unanimous vote of thanks to the men
who are working on the Better Bull
Campaign in Huron County. Slides
were shown exhibiting both desirable
and undesirable types of bulls of all
the beef breeds and the strong points
were touched on. Several reels of mov-
ing pictures showed high class herds
throughout the Province and were
greeted with applause. Five men at
present keeping grade bulls signified
their approval of the Campaign and
their intention of replacing these bulls
with good pure breds - as soon as poss-
ible. The feature of the whole Cam-
paign in Huron has been the encourag-
ing attitude of the farmers and their
expressed feeling that the move is one
that has been needed for some time.
Cattle on the average have been deter-
iorating in qudlity during the last few
years in Ontario and the farmers' seem
to feel that the time is ripe for the
institution of some measure of nlprove-I
went. Even men who are now engag-
ed in the breeding of pure bred cattle
in a small way are falling' into line
and are stating their willingness to I
put into service outstandingly - good
bulls in , order that they may be able I
to supply bulls of good quality for the
grade herds. The move toward im-1
provement is gathering momentum and
-.farmers are getting behind the Cam-
paign not' only because It means good
business for themselves but because of
the national significance of the high
live stock reputation. On their own
initiative the farmers of Goderich Town-
ship arranged with the Assessor to take
a bull census. This is the first step
towards eliminating the scrub and pro-
moting the use of none but the best.

SHOOTING AFFAIR
AT WINGIAM
E - ouncillor Wm. 'Patterson Says
He Mistook Albert 'Lutitt tor
Eurglar•--.– Shooting Occurs at
f'attersori Residence -- Lutitt
in Hospital with Severe Bullet
Wound in Abdomen.
.(London Free Press)
Winghant, Feb, 25—Ex-Councillor
"Billy" Patterson,' well-known Jeweler,
is in jail and, Albert Lutitt, butcher, is is
Wingham Hospital with a dangerous
bullet wound in his abdomen as the re-
sult of a slrooting,affray which occurred
in tine Patterson residence, on Josephine
street, just before daylight this .morn-
ing,
MI the circumstance in connection
with the affair are not known, but the
statement made by Patterson that he
mistook Lutit for it burglar is ge•teraliy
disbelieved. The affair has created a
sensation here: .
The exact nature of the charge to be
laid against Patterson depends an bhe
condition of Lutitt: 'Crown Attorney
Seager, of Goderich, has been informed
of the circumstances as far as they
are known and will appear for the
crown at the preliminary hearing of
Patterson to -morrow morning.
Heard Two Shots
Just about dawn this morning'Night
Watchman Ed. Lewis while patrolling
Josephine street heard a noise proceed-
ing from the Patterson horse. Upun in-
vestigation Ise could hear the voices of
two men engaged in a violent quarrel,
He found the front door locked and
tried to gain an entrance by the back
door.
Just as Ise did so two shots rang out
and the. disturbance suddenly ceased.
Alarnsed, the watchman went to the
house of Chief Allis for assistance and
returned with Inns to the Patterson
home. - They effected an entrance and
found Patterson and Lutitt lying on the
floor downstairs, Luttitt had a bullet
wound in Isis abdomen and mark on
the floor showed the course of the sec-
ond bullet. The gun was lying near by
Both men, it was evident, had been
drinking heavily. t
Drs. Calder and Redmond were called
and attended to Lutitt's injury and -
then had hies removed to the hospital,
They are not sure yet whether the
wound will have fatal consequences or
not.
Thought Him a Burglar
Patterson was at once placed under
arrest and lodged in the cells at the
Town Hall. He made a statement, it is
believed, explaining that he heard a
noise upstairs in his home and went up
to investigate, Encountering Lutitt 'he
thought him a burglar and opened fire,
He did not attempt to explain the noise
which preceded the shooting, according
to Constable Lewis, -and did not say
how it happened that both men were
downstairs when the police came.
The two men are well-known mer-
chants of the town and have been on
friendly terms for years, A motive for
the shooting is not suggested by any-
one who knows then and so far the
affair is snore or less of a:mystery.
Mrs, Patterson has been out of town
for some days.
William Patterson, a local jeweller,
was placed under arrest early Friday,
following n shooting affray at Isis home,
in which Albert • E. Luttit had his abdo-
men grazed by a bullet, Later Patter-
son was released in the suns of $2,000
bail, and will appear in court Thursday
charged with assault with intent to do
bodily harm. This charge may be re-
duced, as the woand is extremely slight
be ing a mere scratch and in no way
serious. Chief of Police Allen stated
that Patterson and Luttitt had been ex-
cellent friends for many years. He is
convinced that the shooting was entire-
ly accidental. Pntterson's family was
away, and Luttit tvesst over to visit with
him. During the night, it is alleged,
the Hien beanie .intoxicated and the
shooting occurred: accidentally. "Tam
satisfied", said Chief Alen, "that there
was not the slightest ill -feeling beween
the mien,"

"Dear Reverend Father,—As you
are aware, it is proposed to intro-
duce a private bill in Parliament for
the purpose of establishng Divorce

that the . establishment of Divorce
Courts greatly increases the number
of divorces. Ins order to counteract
this movement and to oppose this
fearful wave of divorce applications
through whicis we are passing, it is
advisable to petition Parliament. 1 en-
close copies of petitions to the Senate

vite the electors of your parish to sign
name. The petition duly signed and
dated should be returned to me,
