It is a despatch from Chicago as it apâ€" peared some days ago in The Hamilton Spectator and reads as follows:â€" "Here‘s a divorce case with teeth in it â€"three teethâ€"Mrs. Celia Wagner‘s teeth. She won a divorce from Ralph Wagner, a broker, yesterday and she hung her complaint on the teeth. Having need recently of getting a tooth extracted, she told her husband. He poohâ€"poohed the idea of going to an exodentist, urging the good old meâ€" thod* of a string extending from said tooth to the knob of a door; said door to be slammed suddenly, yanking the tooth. That worked all right, Mr. Wagner officiating as doorâ€"slammer. Unfortunately the string was attachâ€" ed to two teethâ€"the bad one and a dandy one directly east of it. As two teeth swung gorily at the end of the the string, the Wagmers swung into conversation of a highly personal charâ€" acter. It was then, Mrs. Wagner set forth, that her husband, unaided either by string or door knob, removed a third tc:th from her mouth. The three vaâ€" cancies in Mrs. Wagner‘s molar system won her the divorce." THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Annual Grant Should be Made to Jack Miner At the session of the Dominion parâ€" | liament in the spring of 1929 a grant of $5,000.00 was made to Jack Miner, ; the noted Canadian nature lover, who | has done so much for game preservaâ€"| tion in this Dominion, and whose big | estate at Kingsville, Ontario, has for years been practically public property. At the Miner farm there was establishâ€" ed the first sanctuary for the migrating wild ducks and geese and the informaâ€" tion gathered by Jack Miner about these birds is alone worth the grant. Last year Jack Miner wrote the bers of the Dominion parliament makâ€". ing it plain that unless he was given some help he could not continue his good work. Previously he had defrayed the expenses of the sanctuary and of keeping the place open to the public from his own pocket. Much of the money for the purpose was raised by lecture tours made by Jack Miner. Last year he felt he had done more than his share and if the work was to be carried further there would have to l be aid from some outside source. When “; the grant was maude in 1929 by the Doâ€" minion parliament he was very pleased iand grateful, but was under the imâ€" _pression that it was to be a yearly grant. It turns out now that the grant |\ was only made for the one year. If it is not repeated this year it means just as it did last year that the work will have to be discontinued now. Mr. Miner can not carry on further without support. Last year practically all the newspapers of the Dominion joined in urging a yearly grant to Jack Miner. They should do the same this year,. No man should be asked to carry on such a work without assistance from the Dominion. To help along the agitaâ€" tion for a continuance of the grant. The Advance publishes herewith the letter sent by Jack Miner last month to all members of the Dominion parliaâ€" ment:â€" Kingsville, Ontario, March 31, 1930 Dear Federal Member:â€"Last year I asked for an annual grant of $5,000 to help maintain my bird sanctuary. which was granted, and I was always under the impression this was to be annual until I was advised differently a few days ago. Now, gentlemen, you spend thousands of dollars for game wardens and I challenge any ten of them to show more birds being cared for and less beâ€" ing shot by violations of law than I canâ€"You spend thousands of dollars in National parks and I leave my grounds open to public from March 20th to April 20th, except Sundays, and I doubt if there are any wild life parks in the world with more birds here on santâ€" tuary; thus I have a clear conscience in asking that you interview proper authâ€" orities to see that grant of last year is made annual, which doesn‘t by any means take care of my expenditure, let alone my own time and that of my family and three men in caring for wild fowl,, as well as giving my land for the purposes of care and protection. You men represent the people of Canada and if I am not made an anâ€" nual grant of at least $5,000 T cannot carry on. Gentlemen, before you turn me down come and stay all night with me and see for yourself. APPRECIATES AFFLICTIONS THAT EDITORS ENDURE Last week The Advance made passâ€" ing reference to a rather unpleasant letter received from a reader of the paâ€" per. They are not all like that. Often, indeed, there are kindly and insplirâ€" ing letters that do a world of good and prove most encouraging. It may not be out of place to publish a recent note of this latter type. It was received from a gentleman who once in a long while writes The Advance in regard to matters he feels of interest or importâ€" ance. His letters are not frequent, but they are to the point and always serve a useful and helpful purpose. It was some years ago that this correspondent wrote his first letter to The Advance. It had just the sort of tone that assurâ€" ed it a ready welcome.> It was easy to see that the writer was a good citizen and was inclined to think that other peorile were the same unless there were proof to the contrary. Since that first tetter the occasional letter sent in by this writer. has received very sincere welcome. In the recent letter referred to, this reader of The Advance says:â€" "I desire to thank you for your kind comments in connection with my feeble efforts on former as well as the last occasion, wherein I have sought to exâ€" press views through the medjum o your journal. I also thank you for such touchingâ€"up and ccrrections as you have seen fit to make from time to time. I am here first because I am the owner of property that was regisâ€" tered in the family name long before Porcupine or Timmins were thought of; second, because I hope and expect eventually to receive some compensaâ€" tion for my outlay of time, money and the worry connected therewith; third, because I feel I can best promote my own interests of seeking to be of some service to my fellowâ€"man and the comâ€" munity in general. I aprreciate thas affiiction that so often rests on the ediâ€" tor of a journal of such high standing as The Porcupine Advance. Too often correspondents reveal an eccentricity in their attempted literary stunts that is deplorable, no doubt engendered by foolish conceptions o‘ the appropriate or fraught with egotism. This is, of course, a personal, private letter, but if it is of any value, or can serve any good purpose, you may publish the same. In such a case, however, I wouia ask that it be in such form and wordâ€" ing as will leave me behind t‘/ literâ€" ary curtain." C L ECSA cce t se The Advance has a growing number of friendly correspondents like the writer quoted ahbove. They are not only helpful through the new views, ideas and suggestions they frequently present, but they are also among the many bright spots in the editor‘s daily grind because of the encouragement and inspiration their friendly coâ€"operâ€" ation arouses. This friendly reader‘s identity it would seem is sufficiently concealed that his modesty will not be offended, and The Advance believes that the use of his letter at this timely point will be pleasing to him as a friend of The Advance.
