Dr. Julius Klein thunk,;• this de-
pression will ppss with the Jig -saw
puzzle just as the depression of 1921
passed with mah jong. Ile 'overlooks
miniature golf links, the yo-yo and
other forms of unemployment Belief
which have been tried and aban-
doned The greatest jig -saw puzzle'
of all is the depression itself. The
pieces are lying all around but no
one can put them together to show
the picture of prosperity.
Judge McKay of Port Arthur sees
it coming with the boom in gold
stocks, just as it did on several oc-
casions which he enumerates, but
we forbear to cheer and ,shall con=
time to forbear until we see a
movement indicating better prices
for the farmer. That's the saver -
lining we are looking for in the
clouds, We have no patience with
people who insist that their own in-
comes remain intact because a reduc-
tion would diminish their pruchasing
power which has been vastly increas-
ed by the very conditions which re-
duced the farmers purchasing power.
The farmer who was the first to hr
hit is entitled to the first conte -back
and our bet is that that's where the
revival will start.

Did you notice how easy it was for
Zangara to get a revolver with which
to kill the president-elect? He sim-
ply walked into a shop and bought
one for eight dollars. Didn't• have
to say whom he was' going to kill
with it, or anything. Now if you
were going to do something dedent
and respectable, get married for in-
stance, you would have to get a
license and tell an agent sof the gov-
ernment whom you intended to mar-
ry. If you intend to keep a dog, or
kill deer or ducks, you have to get t
license, but if you have a stomach.
ache cod want to kill a president or
a rich man, you can walk into a
shop, buy the weapon and no ques-
tions asked.
If we were Roosevelt, our first act
would be to call hi all revolvers, pro-
hibit the manufacture and sale, mut
then dismis: that bodyguard of de-
tectives. Not more than one man in
ten thousand needs a revolver and
he would not need it if no one else
had one. A revolver is of no use to
a bank manager or teller, but it is
to a bank bandit. It is 'of no use to
a president of the United States, but
it is to his assassin. It is of no use
to any man who wants to live ..nd
let live bat it is to the man who
wants to commit suicide or murder.
It has but little use in war, ,It has
none :in peace.

The man who was for many year:

for damages for loss of "position and

quire why a legislative agent war
needed at Ottawa and why on dis-
missal his action for damages lies
against a man living in the United
States.

In rural districts here and in the
United States it is alleged that far-
mers combine to frustrate sales un-
der foreclosure. It • may be, howev-
er, that they are merely trying to
get away from auction and are tim-
idly practising the' approach bid ie
contract.
Zangara wanted to kill the rich and
powerful, so he fired, wounding five
only ono of whom conies within that
categery. Violence never was good
at marksmanship. Innocent bystand-
ers are always hurt when it breaks
loose.

Customs officers stopped entry in-
to the United States of photographs
of frescoes on the ceiling of the
time chapel in the Vatican on the
ground that they were obscene. They
were afterwards admitted when the
officers found that the originals were
by Michaelmngelo. This incident re.
calls a story that was current many
year; On of a newly -rich packer in
Chicago who bad built himself a
mansion which he intended to adorn
with rich and rare paintings and
sculpture. Among the objects of art
which he ordered was a statue of
Venus. When it arrived and was
unpacked ho discovered that the
arms were missing. He took legal
proceedings and an Illinois jute gave
him a verdict for $2,500 and costs.
What Clinton was Doing in The Gay Nineties
DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED DURING TiTF LAST DE-
. CADE OF THE OLD CENTURY?
From The News -Record, Mar. 1st,
1803:
Councillor Taylor attended the
Blyth Monthly Fair yesterday, in
connection with other business.
Mr. R, J. McDonald of the Jackson
Bros. firm returned last week from
the famous New York cutting school,
The News -Record will be found on
fyle in the Canadian pavilion during
the progress of the World's Fair at
Chicago.
A Right To Crosg: Pedestrians
have a right to cnoss .the street on
the cross walks and drivers of ve-
hicles are responsible for the safety
of those on foot in such places. This
seems to be forgotten by . some driv-
ers. (And there were no ears in
those days.)
Returned From New York: Mr. A.
J. Holloway returned from New York
last week, where he attended the lead-
ing American cutting school. He
was glad to get back and says he
would rather live on a moderate
salary in Canada than be compelled
to live in New York on a princely
salary.
Up to the time of going to press
last night no mail had arrived yester••
day from the north.
Fire! Fire! Fire! ! l Lest Friday
morning at 6.25 the fire alarm sound-
ed the dreadful news of;
danger. The terrible fire
fiend was at work in the Kennedy
livery. Messrs. Kennedy were' awak-
ened promptly from their sound
slumbers. The firemen were weekee
ing hard to get everything to work,
but there was a little delay. When
the stable doors were opened nothing
could be seen but smoke and it was
at the risk of human life to enter the
building. Messrs, D. B. and John
Kennedy entered and with great ef-
fort managed to get two horses, and
'someone else secured a third. In all
there were eleven horses, ane
of which was owned by Dr. Turnbull
and one out all night. Eight horses,
including Dr. Turnbull's, were suffi-
cated and lay dead in their stalls.
The rigs were more or less damaged
by smoke, water, etc. The cause of
the fire seems a mystery , .. There
was .no insurance on the contents.
The horses were valued at $1,000. The
less on the building will not be so
heavy as there was an insurance of
$600 in the Gore.
From The New Era, Mar. 3, 1893:
Notes: Miss E. Mountcastle gave a
recitation at Knox church social,
Goderich, on Thursday.
The Expositor says: "Quito a num-
ber of 'Seaforthites attended the
skating races at Clinton on Wednes-
day night; they say that the ice on
the Clinton rink is much superior to
our own." (That's just. like every-
thing else here.) •

The Ball: The ball given in the'

From The New Era, Feb. 27th, 1908:
Grderich: Married On The Stage;
Goderich was treated to ti sensation

rings'. of two .ef':the Francis Green
Stock Company. took place yen the
stage 'o:f':the opera house dining the
performance. The ceremony was per
fernted .by the Presbyterian clee y -
man, Rev. Jas. A. Anderson, amid e
;forest scene and camp fire, a most
unique environment.
•Sumniet'hill: Mies. Biggin, who life
had the contract for carrying the
mail between Clinton and Shmtnetlhil'
has had it renewed by the Goveen
meat.for a further period of,.four
years.
. Action Dismissed: The action taken
sone time ago by four of our citizens
against the waterworks bylaw, came
up at Osgocde.Han on Thursday,: Mr.
W. •Proudfoot, K,O., appeared for the
town and Mr. E. L. Diciciesorifor the
appellants. The action was dismissed
with costs. We understand that the
parties. concerned intend to appeal.
!Bayfield: A. good many people
from inland townpnd about the sur-
rounding country will undoubtedly be
pleased to hear of the construction of
our new steel bridge, but when they
hear of the' kind of a structure it
is to be they will probably be more
disgusted than pleased. In view of
the fact that men sent out to repre-
sent us would submit to the construc-
tion of a steel bridge fourteen feet in
width is almost incredible. These
men, supposed to be possessed of
common sense, have really submitted
to build a long, narrow bridge over
the river, so narrow that two teams
cannot pass between the railings... .
All we can say is that the people of
the surrounding towns and country
should even yet, for individual rem -
fort, make a strong protest, while it
is not too late, to,see that a bridge
is constructed suitable to such a
public crossing and save the incon-
venience of a life -time for all the
county.
IIoltnesville: Last Thursday even-
ing Rev. P. J. Snowdon was taken by
surprise by the members of Helmes-
ville appointment when they present-
ed him with a beautiful Galloway
rope, a pair of gauntlets and a load
of oats, After the presentation a
very pleasant evening was spent.
GODERICII: The surrogate conA
action of John and James Stephenson.
of Stanley Township, to have the last
will and testament of their m'mthei
declared void, has succeeded, aceord-
ing' to a judgment handed down lust
Thursday by Judge Costello. The
action was heard 10 days earlier and
judgment reserved. By mason of the
jud,+,went, the homestead farm, which
deceased willed to het' sister-in-law,
Mrs. Hannah Boyce, of Goderich
with whom she lived but two
months, reverts to the children. Isis
'honor finds that the late Mrs. Steph-
enson, who made her will at the arrc
of 86 years, suffered a delusion thaw
her children ill-treated her and treat
she was in this state of mind when
she disinherited ';hem. Evidence was
given at the trial that the children
had been kind to their mother, bur
that she had queer spells and was
hard to please- During one of these
spells she left her soil's home and
went to live with Mrs. Boyce tc whom
she willed the farm on which all her
10 children were born. Medical testi-
mony was that the aged lady had
suffered from senile dementia for 10
years before her death.
GODERICI-I: In the county judge's
criminal court on Friday,- Judge Cos-
tello passed suspended sentence on
Capt. Oliver Goldthorpe, of Bayfield..
charged under the criminal code with
being in possession of weapons dan-
gerous to the public peace. Accused
pleaded guilty. The case had been
hanging fire for some months owing
to the serious illness of Capt. Gold-
thorpe, the nature of which was de-
scribed to the court by Dr. Harold
Taylor. Mrs. Helen Stott, of Bay-
field, also gave evidence for the ac-
cused. In extending suspended sen-
tence,
entence, Judge Costello said he did not
think the accused was criminally in -
dined, otherwise lie would be deserv-
ing of the maximum penalty. Evi-
dence was given at the preliminary
hearing by Crown Attorney Judd. of
London, a summer resident of Bay-
field, that he had 'witnessed Gold-
thorpe point a gun at another man
and threatened to shoot. 'Other evi-
dence was that on another occasion
Goldthorpe had sprayed the waters
of Lake Huron with bullets, Ai min-
able collection of arms, including a
German machine gun brought from
the battle fields, high-powered rifles
expensive shotguns and revolvers of
various makes, collected in Capt.
Goldthorpe's travel, in various coun-
tries, was placed in the keeping of
the captain's father until such time
as the. court thinks accused is a fit
and proper person to have them. It
all rests with the accuseds behaviour
Judge Costello explained. Capt..
Goldthorpe, a' war veteran, -is an ar-
dent nimrod. His hobby is collecting
guns.

led. A pleasing feature of the party
was a presentation by John McKenzie
on behalf of the Seaforth Fire Bri-
gado to Mr. Sills of a handsome easy
chair.
SEAFORTH: The annual At -Hone

pect that there will be a slightly de-
creased acreage given out under con-
tract for Dutch sets in 1933, pros-
pective growers are hoping for the
best. One well-known onion.nian ex-
pressed the view that the duty on
the seed (which is largely imported)
together with the adverse high rate
of exchange would have the tendency
to discourage independent growers
who, he said, were responsible for
cutting the price and who . pre-
vented the contract growers from
regulating supply to demand. An-
other' well-known grower pointed
out the feet that the West, formerly
an importer of sets grown in the vi-
cinity of Exeter, now enters into op-
position by sending' sets here tie On-

Have You Renewed Your Subscription?
A GOO') MANY SUBSCRIBERS HAVE RENEWED THEIR
SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR 1933—HAVE YOU?
The News -Record subscription has been reduced twenty-five
percent. for 1933, while the quality of the paper has been in no
way reduced. WP are spending just as much on it as when it was at
the higher price; the reduction was not justified by any reduction in
costs, soy far as the materials and services which make. up. a news-
paper was concerned, but was made simply as a concession to the ye-
aluced incomes of subscribers. It will be remembered, perhaps, that
while prices of other commodities went pp and up, newspaper sub-
1ecriptions and advertising prices remained the same.
Other sources of income upon which newspapers also depend,
such as advertising, has also fallen off considerably, so that the in-
come of the publisher is reduced quite as much, or snore than that of
anyone else.
Newspapers, generally, are all suffering the seine way but, be-
lieving that a turn will conic, we are endeavoring to maintainour
service to the public at the same 'high level as formerly, absorbing
the losses ourselves,, so that when the upward turn does come we
will not have a service reduced in quality, but will be carrying on,
just as usual.
But the circumstances stated above melee it imperative that mh-
scriptiene be paid promptly. If ye,", o , '^.,.d ^^
