From Teeswater For Montreal
Two crates of Carrier Pigeons con-
taining fifty birds arrived by expre ,s
on Friday afternoon, accompanied by
a starter,to make ready for a race
from Teeswater to Montreal. The
birds were all tagged and money was
pttt onthem by the owners. They
were let loose at 5.15 Saturday morn-
ing and it ,took them about five min-
utes before starting off. It is thought
that they would make the trip in
about ten hours.—Teeswater News.

Reply,
The Ontario Agricultural College at
Guelph, is asking the Ontario farmers
to keep a sharp lookout for the Jap-
anest beetle. This insect which is no
longer than the common potato bug
andcolored a bright green tinged with
brown, has caused immense damage
in the Eastern States, where it ar-
rived about eight years ago. The
adult feeds on the green leaves and
stems of many plants, while the lar-
vae burrows in the soil, destroying
the root growth. Altogether it ma-
kes a very bad combination. This
pest has moved north as far as Mich-
igan and entromologists fear he may
cross the line at any time, extending
the 2,500 square miles already infested.
When Editors Tell the Truth
Only a short time ago, the editor of
a paper in Indiana grew tired of be-
ing called a liar, and announced that
he would tell the truth in the future,
and his next issue contained the fol-
lowing items:

Little Willie Wise

To look likea shiek ;
All tanned up and sleek

And into a swimming
Suit he scrambled
Then -,spread himself
Upon the beach,
Really, it was fun
To bathe in the rays
Of that inviting sun.
But to l—And behold!

Legs so sore

He'd been

The average flapper's summer wearing apparel weighs
only 24 ounces, according to a fashion statistician. Too

An "Un -Timely" Error;
Instead of telling his readers to set their clocks ahead
