NEWSPAPER BEST MEDIUM A citizen had occasion the other day to move his front steps in order to get something which had slipped down behind them and he came across about twenty bills, neatly folded which had no doubt been sent out by the merchant whose name was at- tached for distribution to the house- holders but which had been thrust in there and got ricl of. Bills are no doubt good advertis- ing, when properly distributed, buy nobody had a chance toeread at least twenty or so of that issue and the message contained on them helped no one. No advertising, and this is admit- ted by all great advertisers, is so effective as newspaper advertising. We cannot guarantee that an ad, vertisement printed in The News-Re- eord will be read, but we can at least guarantee that the paper containing it will be taken into the homes, it will not be chucked under steps in bundles and left to rota SATURDAY'S BALL GAME Clinton Wearwell Hosiery softball nine and Nisbitt (Mike) Cook's stal- warts from the Ford plant, Toronto, staged a game on the local diamond On Satnlyday evening, the locals be- ing noticeably outplayed throughout the entire fixture.

FATAL CAR AGGIDENT General sympathy is expressed ov- er the accidental death of Mr. R. Walton's spaniel, "Micky", on Tues- day. Micky was struck by an auto- mobile. Micky and his mate were considered almost as members of the postoffice staff, and were known to almost everyone in town and those who frequented it and they were al- most inseparable from their master, whose every voice tone they recog- nized and obeyed. Needless to say Micky's untimely end is the cause of sincere regret, especially to his master and his disconsolate mate.

Star joins with citizens in extending congratulations to this venerable couple," Ross, for the Knitters, got a safe hit off McDowell, which got by the right fielder, slipping through his hands and bounding away gave Gordie time to circle the bases for a homer. The city men held the lo- cals to this lone tally until the sev- enth and last, as daylight was gone, when Holmes and Livermore crossed the plate and the game finished 8-3 in favor of the Queen City squad.
