Referring to this, the Al- liston `Herald says: Newspaper re- porters often encounter incensed men whom they are accused of having wronged by deliberately putting in- to their mouths words that never en- tered their head_s. _Reference. to the shorthand notes of the reporters in-' variably discloses the correctness -of the reporters wording. ` An automobile company quotes a` western clergyman as saying, .Above all, the motor car does more than any other single invention in the world to `keep the Sabbath day holy, and make it a real day of rest. This might make a_ good subject for de- bate, but we fancy the affirmative would have a hard time proving its `case. In this issue'The Examiner gives the opening chapter of a new fea- ture, Famous Canadian Stories Re- told for Children. These are- stories of discovery, exploration and pro- gress--romantic incidents in the. growth and upbuilding of Canada-- `told in a simple and attractive style. While these were written primarily for children, grown-ups will" nd the reading of these charming stories a pleasant means of brushing up their knowledge of the events and incid- ents in the development" of Canada itherein recounted. A. year ago the Thorold Post dis- 3 continued publication for lack of~. - `support after forty-eight years of faithful service to its constituency. After being without the services of the local newspaper for twelve months, the-_Board of Trade induced Mr. Thompsonato resume publication, promising him the necessary support.` 4 Having experienced what it is to be without a local newspaper to repre- 4 sent the'town s interests at home and abroad, the people of Thorold will, i no doubt, henceforth give to Mr. Thompson and the Post the support ` which both so well deserve. ` Yesterday, May 21, was Tobsen-Aved in New Liskeard as tree planting day. The Horticulturai Society furnished free two trees for each lot frontage, to be planted on the boule- vard and cared for by the"joroperty- owner, and themayor proclaimed 'a half-holiday for the planting. The New Liskeard society,is thus erect- ing a ne monument to its usefulness. | When -Mr. Bowker, General Man- ager of the.Central Region, Canad- ian National Railways, visited the Barrie Kiwanis Club a few weeks ago, President Lewisgave. him a gen"- tle intimation that the citizens would like to have The National_stopsat' Barrie station. The hint brought good results, Mr. Bowker complying with the request in the new time ltable which went into effect on Sun- day. - - The "Indians of thethree prairie provinces, who_up to `a few years ago were nomadic hunters, produced the astounding total of 1,277,029 bushels of wheat and other grains lastyear. The Indians in these three provinces number 31,066; Their crops of po- tatoes, turnips, carrots and hay were also large. It sounds like business when the Council asks an estimate on the -cost of permanent paving. The condition of Elizabeth St. the last few weeks has been a striking object lesson as to the need of suchan "improvement. .

His prognostication -for May was decid- edly warm and very dry," "whereas we have had one of the .coldest and wettest Mays on record. V |I4l\p aullviixu .r Someone has suggested that the Ontario Commission has issued the new rates as a means of making peo- ple practise greater economy in the use of light and thus defer the power shortage which is expected sooner or later. It cannot be denied that cheapness has tended -to extrava- gance and wastefulness in theuse of light and power. With the quantity domestic rate at one cent per kilo- watt hour and the third commercial rate at four-tenths of a cent, both subject totwo discounts of ten per ' centneach, the cost of current is so small that few`people feel the need o'f economizing with it. Consequent- ly, with the rapidly growing number of ranges and other electrical appli- ances in use,,there has been a; tre- mendous increase` in power load. ml. :'.. ....'...1.: '....a; 1.... .. ......u..-... -: ........ Parents are here mentioned for! the reason that the average boy and girl, more "particularly the former, is not by nature inclined to turn to books of his or her own volition, al- though there are, of course, excep-' tions to that rule in the form of children who take to reading like un-H to the proverbial duck to water and` who have to'be pried from the books in which they bury themselves to the neglect of the outdoor games and sports which the proper development of their physicalpbeing demands.

LL..L With the Barrie Electric_Light De- partment earning surpluses year af- ter year, and that for 1923 being ov- er $10,000, the last thing customers of the local plant expected was an increase of rates; But an increase there` will be-and a very stiff one at that--if_ the Ontario Hydro Elec- tric Commission enforces the new schedule announced last week, If the proposed rates wereput into ef- fect, it would mean. it isestimated, a.raise of from 12 % to 50 per cent. in domestic bills and from 50- to 80' per cent. in commercial charges and would add some $15,000 to the "plant's prots annually. As far as Barrie is concerned, it is very evid- ent that the present rates are quite adequate for the operating require- ments. The same applies to the Hy- dro plants in the other big towns of this county, but insome other places the management has been less effic- ient and economical or the operating conditions less favorable, with the result that the prices now charged do not meet the -operating gosts. The proposed increases may be to help put the latter. ' Qnmnnnn Hg: anouvnel-Ar} 1-lag} -`Win av-uyuunus nu \.voua.ul.v ulul xu 1116 age.

Origin- ally of good Aberdeen, and therefore _ Scottish, stock, Sir. Andrew Mac- ` phail, as he is now `entitled to_'be: ilcalled, was born, like so many other` iioutstanding men, in Prince Edward, 1 Island in 1864 and was educated in _ `the excellent Prince of Wales Coll- ` gege in Charlottetown, followed by a ' term in McGill University, where he : earned` his many degrees of B.A._. aM.D., C.M., etc. He is also a M.R.-` :;c.s. of England and L.R.C.P. of Lon- _ don. ' Much Over-Governed Huntsville" Forester: Condensed into understandable terms, "the Civil Service at Ottawa shows that 39,200 persons employed by the Government draw an aggregate annual salary of over $50,000,000, and that Cabinet Ministers, members of the House of Commons and Senatorsreceive an- nually another $1,585,000. It costs the man with-a family of ve per- sons over, $27 annually to pay for being governed at Ottawa. And these gures do not include the Ontario service'at"I`oronto. We are much over-governed-a condition for which no particular party _is to`, blame.` When the people insist upon the` choice of men who will fearlessly and unselshly tackle the `problem as a national one, irrespective of `party interests, some relief may be looked for. ' E An Intolerable Action Beaverton Express: ' Even Sir Thomas White, ex-Minister of Fin- ance, appears to have got his thumb into the Home Bank pie and pulled out a $1500 plum, and this in the dy- ving hours of this ill-fated institution. Sir Thomas explains it as being a fee for advice given, which, by the way, seeing that he knew the unfortunate position of the bank, is more intoler-. able. Evidently he did not mind benetting to the extent of these dol- lars by an institution which in its in- evitable collapse was bound to bring widespread sutfering and in. many cases despair and even death. ;u\.un.uAc ur J.u.\.\Ju.|. u:uyc1.'au,_y. His interests cover an even _wider field. In the realm of journalism he is editor of the Montreal Medical Journal and the University Maga- . for several volumes of essays, and as a lecturer he is in constant demand on account of his pungent wit, fear- lessness of utterance and keen satire. Indepen_dent in thought and expres- sion and a free lance in politics, Sir Andrew is and has been recognized an outstanding force in the discussion of public events,. both by voice and pen. "Still in his prime, "much may ,yet be expected from him in public service, especially along national and educational lines, Tzine. As an author he is responsible Newspapers Settle Ruxnors Trenton CourierAdvocate: One of .the things which perhaps impresses every newspaperman is the credulity of'a large section of the public and the readiness with which they swal- 'low idle street rumors. We might give instances, but readers can easily supply them for themselves. If there were no newspapers to give the facts the world would soon be in an even worse muddle thansome people think it is in now. ` ' uvuu Sir Andrew has led an active pro- ifessional life as principal of a gram- Imar school, Professor of V Pathology and since 1907 has `occupied the ichair of" Professor of the History of `Medicine in McGill University.
