That lievel
It wasn't an Ontario editor, but a
printer's devil, who was going through
his first experience of making up
forms. The paper was late and the
boy got the galleys mixed. The first
part of the obituary notice had been
put in the forms and the next handful
of type came off the galley describing
a recent fire, It read like this: 'The
pallbearers lowered the body to the
grave and as it was consigned to the
tames there were few if any regrets
for the old wreck had been an eyesore
to the to an for years. Of course,
there was individual loss, but that
was fully covered by insurance." •The
widnw thinks the editor wrote the
obituary that way because the lament
ed partner of her joy and sorrows
owed one subscription. -Selected
AGRICULTURAL BULLETINS.
So great has heen the demand for
Bulletins, Pamphlets, Records and Re
ports upon the publications Branch of
the Department of Agricultur e at Ot
tawa as a result of the Patriotism and
Production Movement, that it has
been found impossible to comply with
all the applications as promptly as
could be desired, Of some of the But
ietins the supply has been exhausted
and no time has been afforded for re
printing, while of others the quautity
asked for indixidually has heen such
that instant compliance would mean
many applicants might have to go
without. This has meant extra corres
pondence and consequent delay. The
situation is, of course, satisfactory as
indicating the success of the campaign
and the widespread interested created
but the inability to respond on the in
stant with multitude ot applications is
greatly regretted At the same time
it is impossible that the demand could
have heen foreseen. As fast as pos
sible the requests will be attended to
but in the meantime there will have
tp be reprinting and in ewes revising
In such circumstances patience appear
to be a desirable and necessary qual
