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.

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. 1-10LIViESVILLE.

'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," STANLEY Miss Bessie McGregor left on Monday to visit friends in Detrdit, Miss Beatrice McKay returned to icer home in Hamilton this week.
