From The New Era, July 12th, 18951 A game of baseball will be played. on Monday night next which for downright prafessienal play will doubtless surpass anything seen so far.

' Also in this issue wag a four-page by fifteen inches sheet called The .Bayfield Advertiser, naming five pages of advertising front the 'busi- nessmen and the rest of the space carrying news of the comings and goings of the citizens of the +lake- side village. From The Brussels Post: A rather peculiar coincidence occurred on Sun- day morning in the baptism of two baby boys belonging to the families of Geo. Kerr and R H. Cult at Mel- ville church. One child was named John Knox and the other John Wes- ley..... It must surely point to the coming union between the two great denominations.

WHEN THE PRESENT CENTURY WAS YOUNG From The News -Record, July 12th, 191a: Mr. A. P. Gundry, 33,A., principal of the Collegiate Institute, has re- signed to take a similar position in Strathroy. Clinton Orangemen celebrated the 12th in Stratford on Tuesdays. The local bell team won its eighth consecuttive vletorer on Ridley :last when it defeated Goderich by elev- en to three, with an inning to spare. Every member of the team played good ball but, perhaps, 'special re- ference should be made to the clever work of Tacker, Olinton% twirler, who has puzzled Huron League all season, Another feature of the game wan Ted Johnstone home run. The members of L.O.L. No. IA With a number of visiting brethren, attended divine service in St. Paul's church on Sunday afternoon, Rev. W. H. 'Dunbar, District Chaplain, con. ducted the service.

WON'T BE A SUCKER ' We have reeived fifteen pages of copy, run off on a duplicator machine, dealing with reforestation. If the compilers •of this can't give a print- er a job to set and print their stuff they have no right to play printers for suckers when seeking publication. This applies also to a whole grist of government propaganda so far as The Arrow is concerned, Burks Fails Arrow. NEWSPAPER FOR INFORMATION Our radio went haywire last' week and we felt ourself making a reces- sion to 'barbarism.' We checked up our informational progress with some of our neighbors and found that we have missed very little. All of which leads us to reflect that one can get more information as to world -inter- est matters from his paper, either daily or local, in one half hour time he can get from the radio in half a week—Exeter Times -Advocate. SEEN AS HOPEFUL SIGN •. When we see men like' Messrs. Stev- ens, Euler and Wloodswori;h, leaders of the various political groups, un - ting in declaring the gaud things or life are not fairly divided, it is a hopeful sign. --Petrous Advertiser -Times. PUNISHMENT ONLY DETRIMENT St appears to us that tightening up the ,punishment for careless ane reckless drivers is all to the good. A great deal of attention has been given and is being given in this province to educating people to the advantage of careful driving, But so long as they can get away with it, there axe those who will continue to do crazy driving. Punishment is perhaps the only detriment that will appeal to them. —Walkerton. Herald -Times. RIPE TOMATO PICKED FROM VINE J. M. Litt of Main .St. South was feasting last week on potatoes and new ;beets from his own garden and this week Barry Wenger picked s ripe tomato from one of his vines, and expects three more to be ready for eating by the end of the week, while many of us are still wonderint how our gardens' are going to turn out, or straining our eyes for blot. cams on our tomato plants. —Mitchell Advocate. • TYPEWRITER PRESENTED TO. SCOTT MEMORIAL HOSPITAL A Remington Rand noiseless type- writer, in .memory of the late Gordon Rolph, was placed in Scott Memor- ial Hospital last week.' .The Wo- men's Aid to Scott Memorial 'Hospi- tal were able to do this through the generosity of Mrs. Sutherland ,of the Regent Theatre,, and MIr. Clifford Brunt, manager of the Remington Rand, in London, and son of Hp. and Mrs., E, Hunt, of McKillop. - -Goderich Signal. COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS A, few years ago•there was a pap- ular song, "Count Your Blessings.” It would help the situation consider- ably, and hasten recovery, if people would act on that principle today in- stead . of dwelling entirely on their grievances. There are many wlao tie' :suffering ' se$ere disaibilities be-' •cause of the depression', but .there are few who have not something to. be thankful for, and the great ma- jority, if they sat down to contrast their . position with that of their fore., bears, would come to the'.conclusion. that on the whole they are not badly off.-•O+rillia Packet -Times. MAYBE SO The Durbeen Review 'quotes George Spotton, (Conservative, North IHu- ron)' as deseriibng 'Mess' Agnes'Mac- SAYING phail as "one of nature's noblewo. I men, who has never been actuated ,by,a desire to make mono, but whose only desire has been to disseminate information which she deems is :cal- culated to uplift the condition of ag- riculturists ,and laborers in this country" and the Liberal-U.F.O. pa- per goes on to say: ."There is no doubt that hundreds of 'Conservatives in this riding will endorse this view- point and will vote for Miss Mac - /shall in the next election as they have in the past." We now expect that the Durham 'Chronicle, ardently Conservative, will dig up some com- plimentary refetience to 'Miss Mac- phail but made by a prominent Lib- eral, and then go on to comment: "There is no doubt hundreds of Lib- erals in this riding will endorse this viewpoint and will vote for 'Miss Macphail in the next election as they have in the pasta" And, believe it or not, chances are both papers will be right.—Hanover Post.' HAVE BEEN LED ASTRAY The unemployed throughout the country have the sympathy of the citizens, at large, and that sympathy has been shown by the millions of dollars that have been spent so that no man should want for food or clothing, The relief camps for sin- gle men were .part of this' scheme. But these men have been led astray by agitators and the riots in Regina re- sulted, with one :policeman dead and several strikers injured. Citizens in general admire the firm stand of Premier Bennett in his determination to put a stop to the trek to Ottawa and in his effort to have the men re- turn peaceably to their camps. Fol- Iowing the riot about one hundred strikers were put in jail. That is just the plaice for these agitators, and those of foreign birth should be deported. It is the duty of every man and woman to uphold the Gov- ernment in its effort to maintain law and order. And in this connec- tion right minded citizens deplore the action of the C:C.F. party in publicly disregarding the .Govern. meet's' order and offering financial assistance to the strikers. —Listowel Banner.

WAITING HIS TURN Railway Agent (dining at small town hotel) : "Why .does that dog sit there and watch me all the time?" Whiter: "You've ,got the plate he usually eats from." DOINGS IN THE SCOUT WORLD Historic Abbey Sees Gathering Of- Seouta Historic GIastonbury Abbey was the scene of a gathering of more than a thousand Boy Scouts over Whitsuntide. They came "up from Somerset," Devon, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire. A "West Country" Jasboree Stouts from seven European own. tries—Denmark, .eweden, Holland, France Norway and Russian Scouts from London and Armenian front Paris --]were guests at a Wiest 'Coun- try (England) Whitsuntide Scout Jamboree. The programme included boxing, camp -craft, bridge building, signalling and first aid. The Sea Scouts Gather, on the Thames Another Whitsun gathering was a National Sea Scout Meet, which brought Sea Scouts from all over to Hongkong from Canada, and, in, England to Douglas House Meadows, keeping with other Canadian pro- Petersham, on the Thames.

EVERY day we learn more about amateur photographers and, sur. prising as it may seem,' find that many feel somewhat embarrassed. taking pictures in view of the public eye. They shrink from the attention they erroneously believe they at- tract. To feel that way is really ab- surd. That type of self-conseiousness will be the cause of your missing many interesting pictures. You can rest assured there is no thought of ridicule on the part of those who may be apparently watchingyou snap a picture. Nine chances out of len the spectator is envious and wishes he owned a camera or had one with him. There are times, however, when you may want to conceal your cam- era—end your actions—as much as possible; not because of embarrass- ment but for the sake of an unusual, human interest picture. Everywhere you go in a city, whether it is in the park where babies are perambulated by their nursemaids, or in the gloomy slums where some immigrant mother hangs out the family wash while ragged little urchins play perilously on upper balconies, you can find dramatic, story -telling pictures. As you walk through the streets and parks there are countless opportuni- ties for snapshots that are really unusual, and such pictures breathe new life into your snapshot album. When you come upon a good pic- ture l .ture possibility in the form of a per- son or persons in action, that is the ny time you want to conceal your cam- era and intentions as much as:pos. sible, for to get the best results, your subject should not be conscious' of Your presence. On approaching such subjects, it is best to set your focus- ing scale at a distance from which you believe you will get the best re - suite. Judge your light and properly set the diaphragm and shutter speed. When you are "all set," approach Your prey quite nonchalantly and when you reach the proper distance to take the picture you are after,. shoot without further delay and your unsuspecting victim will have un- knowingly furnished you with good snapshot material. This kind of amateur photography can be employed in so many places. This is especially true In the sum- mer, for if there is any place to get informal, candid camera pictures, it is on picnics, at your local swimming pool, or the favorite old swimmin'` hole, at the seashore or summer re- sort. And, speaking of summer resorts, have you noticed the number of na- tionally known people — stage and screen stars, members of socially prominent families, and even great business leaders—who are pictured in newspapers and magazines with their cameras in action. It has really become the smart thing to own and use a camera. So sally forth with your camera with all the abandon of a sailor strolling with one of his many sweet- hearts and get the kind of pictures your friends will talk about and praise..
