Cruel Disappointment Ye Editor was out fishing Monday evening and caught a dandy one on our line, which made quite a fight for a time. We played him in the best editorial manner, gave explicit direc- tions how the boys were to grab him when the fish came to the edge of the lake at the 8th Line. While playing him we knew it was a big trout by the feel of him on the line, and in a minute or so he was landed and our hopes for a toothsome morsel speckled beauty were dashed tc atoms as the fish was a 16 inch sucker. It was a cruel blow to give a fellow, but no docbt we will sur- vive it.

Crutehley, respec- tively, and the auditors report showed a healthy condition. A discussion was raised regarding County paving and a resolution was passed to be presented to the Countj Council requesting that the Council abide with their decision of no paving this year, which they made at the January session. There was a strong feeling through- out the meeting to have a large dele- gation from Grey join the larger dele- gation which is meeting in Ottawa on July 16th, requesting wider mark its for Canadian agricultural pro- ducts. Reports from the various Co-opera- tive stores were made by Mr. .Jos. Crutehley of Durham, Mr. H. Bailey of Dundalk and Mr. G. Magee of Flefeherton. E. J. Garland, M. P. from Bow River, Alta., was the main speaker of the afternoon and his address of ac hour and a half duration was very- interesting. He dwelt on genera) conditions of the agricultural people and how to remedy the present depres sion throughout the world. He claim- ed that the fault mainly lies at the door of the great financial houses in their refusal to grant any great am- ount of credit. Mr. Garland said that the world should go off the gold stan- dard and urged the inflation of Can- adian currency, declaring that the gold standard is a superstition and that it is by virtue of this superstitutior that the banks can defraud the people He also mentioned the high interest in its recent loan, but stated that tht rate paid by the Province of Ontarii- government could not help this a: they are forced to set a high interest rate by the bankers, who are thus a: a time when the pay of the workers is being greatly cut, raising the wage of Capital. The hall was well filled for the meeting and every sear was taken. Mr. Garland, along with Miss A. C. Macphail and F. R. Oliver, M.P.P.. spoke at a meeting at Chats-worth Friday evening and at Dundalk Sat- urdav evening. PRINTER'S Ml, TAKE HELPED How a typographi.-al error put over a C.N.R. excursion from Toronto tc Detroit is told by the Toronto Mail and Empire. A few weeks ago. the Canadian National Railways had not the slighest idea of running a bar- gain trip from Toronto to Detroit. The big idea was to intice some hun- dreds of Detroit people to Toronto with a cheap rate good for a week end and a formal announcement was made. But the announcement in the news columns of the Mail and Empire appearing inconspicuously read: "from Toronto to Detroit." The ticket offices of the railway were be- sieged with telephone calls. Official? got angry, became frantic and fin- ally began to : ee light. The excur- sion was put on and more than 2,00? Toronto and 500 Hamilton citizens boarded the train for Detroit. Rail- way officials congratulated the paper on "knowing when to do the wrong thing at the right time." New Teachers Hired At a meeting of the Flesherton High School Board on Saturday night last three new teachers were hired at sal- ary reductions from last year, the total for the three and Principal Thib- audeau amounting to $1000. The new teachers are Mr. Howard L. Eu- bank of Cayuga to teach science, Miss S. E. McDonald of Douglas, Ont, to teach mathematics and Miss Jean E. Dewar of Toronto to teach languages. These teacJers have graduated from the College of Education this year and all were highly recommended by the Department of Education.

Zavitz. a member of. the Women's Institute staff. She has gone to places where the young people have applied for this class. Altogether eight places will be visited. The boys will judge livestock, poult- ry and grain. Many prizes for both boys and girls have been secured. In the evening the boys and girls are putting on a banquet in the Arm- ouries. Besides speakers from To- ronto it is expected that the members of the County Council will be pres- ent as jruests of the boys and girls. Complete program arrangements have not been made as yet bet we expect an interesting one provided largely by the members of the Junior Insti- tutes and Junior Farmers.

One does not hesitate a minute about insuring hi home or place of business, but how about the business itself? The suc- cessful man is the one who goes ou? after business himself: the failure is the one who sits around and waits ;"oi business to come to him. SCHOOL TO START EARLIER With the holidays still a good way off it is a little soon to think of be- ginning school in the Fail, but we are advised that starting this year, the schools of Ontario will open on the first day of September. Ordinarily the schools resume their classes on the day following Labor Day, which holiday is the first Monday of that month. The edict means that this year, instead of returning to school on Tuesday, Spt. 6, the pupils will return to their classes on Thursday Sept 1. Labor Day, Sept. 5, will be a holiday as usual. The commence- ment will be a somewhat broken one. Why not begin on the last Monday of August. Stupidity with a mouth shut some- times get by as wisdom. Roger W.
