As perusual of the table showing the standing of the various teams in our Softball Teague will convince the peruser that old Euclid was just as sagacious an individual as History has painted hull when he included in his famous list of axioms the one which has always appealed to us as the most touchingly incrovertable, and transparently selfevident, to wit— "Things which are equal to the same thing are equal to each other.” Now, if the result of the one Softball gaine still to be played, eventuates accord- ing to our expectation, the five teams in the circuit will finish with an ab- solute equality of points, Each team will have played four games won two, and lost two. This is ideal equality with avengence. Thus is Euclid's axi- om vindicated. Thus have our teams stumbled back into the "as you were" Isn't this contempts deucedly and gloriously tantilizing. "Things which are equal to the same thing are equal ta each other." Notice the two Rs. Now, though things may be as they are, eventually they will be as they must.

MORE GOOD THAN BAD.. (Ey Edgar L. Vincent) "I don't think I ever knew a time when there were so many folks to find fault with." So .a mat said to the other day and I could not help reminding hili that there are nowadays so many more to find fault, And that does seem to be true, Not that we are getting to be a world of fault-finders, I am sure that is not so; still, far too many of us have set tip in the fault- finding business than is good for the world., And yet, don't you find a good many more folks who are doing the best they can to make this world a better place to live, in than you do people whose -great aii'n in life seems to be to find fault, to be indifferent of the interests of their neighbors? I do, < never coxae to,a Bard place in life that a friend does not spring to my relief. Time and time again on days that, are dark and .amid scenes which seem almost impossible to en „dote, soddenly my pathway has grown bright. and when I look to see why it is so I find that some friendly pian or woman, is holding the light 'e for me to make my way back to sun- shine, Often new fr•ieitds rise to my co'r'n - fort, friends I' did not know bad any thought for me or knew that I was in heed or a helpitig hand. And when I, try to tell these good people ltow thankful I am and wish I might repay their kiedness,..the answer I get. is, "Ah, that is all right, 1 want no pay, except that you pass it on." And right here, I am sure, is the secret of it all. If we did pass on the kindnesses which are bestowed upon its if see did speak a kindly word to others because somebody has. been good to us we would not heat' to mucic fault-fimtdita'g.' Thio• fattl't- finders would soon grow sick of themselves and ashamed if every time they come to sit down with us to Haul other folks over the coals we should simile and turn the subject to other aiid more agreeable 'things. Did you ever think of it that no spring ever gets oily and sends out impure, water unless somewhere there is a source of impurity? When a man thinks bad things and says them, somebody has oiled the spring he his heart. Shame on- you and me for do- ing such a thing as that! God help us to be so good and so kind and so true always and under all circumstan- ces that those who know us will want to be that way too. • In the Quick Sands of the Alps While' Mr. Rich. Holmes, son and party from Toronto were out trout fishing in the Alps on Friday .last, they noticed a valuable, Jersey Cow mired in the quick sands of the swamp on the trout stream running through the farm owned by the Wad- dell Estate. The poor struggling ani- mal had evidently' been there for some time as it was covered up to the back, but it was still alive and able to move its head from side to side. No- person appeared to be re- siding on the farm, but Mr. Holmes at once notified the nearest farmer, a Mr. Ferguson who immediately start- ed ed with a team of horses to try and effect the cow's rescue: Death of Lion's 'Head. Woman Mrs. John Pettigrew, whose maiden name was Miss Margaret Boyle, pass- ed away at her honie in Lion's Head on Friday in her 64th year after an illness of eight months. The late Mrs. Pettigrew had lived in Lion's Head since the pioneer days. About 10 years ago she underwent a serious operation in Fergus Hospital, and again in St. Michael's Hospital, Toronto. Her.daughter, Mrs. Hewton Cooper, of Meaford, was her constant attendant then and she has never left her side during her recent illness. .
