Integrity is evidently a word not found in the lexicons of some politi- cians. - Frequently the oft told tale is repeated of aviation stunts by the the party who uses coal oil for fire lighting purposes. The experience really cures the household but possibly the neighbors, on either side, attending the funeral proceed to run the gamut on the same route. Somebody says "Experience is a great teacher," but frequently, the pupils refuse to be guided by the instruction. 70 coaches, besides the regular trains were required to convey 6,000 excursion- ists from Toronto Union station, on Au- gust 2lst, bound for the harvest fields of the West. 6 special trains were run.

There were 1,150 entrants last year. Good salaries for teachers and a dullness in some other educational fines is said to be two of the causes for the many candi- dates seeking admission.

There were 1,150 entrants last year. Good salaries for teachers and a dullness in some other educational fines is said to be two of the causes for the many candi- dates seeking admission.
