Let us just add we didn't see a fight, hear a cross word even, didn't see a drunk— it was one big good-natured happy crowd. Throughout the four days an aeroplane hovered over the town, and the airman performed some marvellous stunts which fairly took away the breath of some who were not familiar with the antics of the birdmen The old town of Wingham never looked so gay. • Boys' Shirts Eaten. The scarcity of pasture in Guelph was demonstrated in a most peculiar fashion the other day when the little son of J. Cassidy. caretaker of the city ball, return- ed from bathing in the river Speed. He went out with a new shirt on and came back with none, and his father was up- braiding him for his carelessness when the boy said: "I couldn't help it, father. We were in the water for about an hour, and I got out just in time to see the tail of my shirt hanging from a cow's mouth. The other two boys gave me the laugh until they found that their shirts were also gone, and that a piece had been eaten out of the seat of Bobby's pants." „ 11. F: 0.

Tell Us The News We presume that there never was a newspaper in any locality that gave all the local happenings. It is often that someone comes and someone goes that the reporter does not see. It happens that the family is inissed several times. 'ithey get the impression that the editor does not care to mention them. This is a mistake. In most country towns the 1001 work is fine hardest work connected with a .newspaper. A man May be a good editorial writer but a fiat failure at the local work, and vice versa Editorial material is obtained by study, by reading newspapers, somethnes by using scissors Personals and local happenings can't be read and clipped from other papers. It takes physieat as well as mental exertion to get out five or six columns of local news in a town of this size. Most people take a local paper to get the local IMPFens ings, Don't be afraid to tell the editor or reporter that you have friends visit- ing you. There are lots of friends intere- sted in your friends 'Von owe it as a duty to them to let your friends know of their doings. Perhaps. you think the pap- . et shows partiality. but just sets if the paper dots:'ift treat you richt if you give, it a chance. 55 ss XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Xmatemagammariaaamourrawasramoisaammim X x vi x Summer . . ,-, Clothes . tommitassamtairassamaaamarmitautememarst Complete Stock vat Hosiery Gloves Underwear Voile Blouses Crepe de chene and Georgette Blouses Wash Skirts Middies Silks Voiles Ginghams, Ete.
