W H, -rimraton- Bdltor HAIL TO THE VICTOR When Private Hawkine of Toronto recently won the King'* prize of |1200 at Bislejr, hi* victory was heralded around the world, and paeas of praise were railed at hit prowess. He had done something that none of the other com- petitors could do, and as a coasoquenee he U a hero to be feted and petted and made much of. His victory did not mean anything ndaed to the world's wealth, or tend to the betterment of man- kind in any way. It merely proved that he could shoot straight had studied trajectory and air currents with their effect on the velocity and deflection of bullets until he could hit the bullaeye at half a mile. The knowledge thus gained has won for him twelve hundred dollars, an in- teresting holiday and the pUudits of his fellow men throughout the empire. But the honor attached to a victory of this kind is of the most ephemeral nature, and next f er it will be forgotten in the demand made by a new champion. Only those to whom he shows his medal will remetuber that Private H wkins won the King's prize for shooting in 1913. This victory is til very well as sport, but it is not the solid thing that Canada needs. There U a man living out in the West who is a thousnnd times more de- serving of the planditi of Canadian!, and whose memory will no doubt be cherished locg after Private Hawkins has fired his last shot. We refer to the iun who produced Marquis wheat. When Dean Swift wrote Ins Gulliver's Travels he put into the mouth one of his characters the fullowinK words : "And he gave it as his opinion, t li-it whoever could make two bladft) .of grans to grow upon a ipot of ground where only one grew before, would deserve better of mankind, and do more essential service to'.bis country, than the whole rare of politicians put together." And he mi^ht have adJed expert marksmen to the politicians. But the moat important lemon to be learned from this episode in the fact that man who can do anything a little better than bis neighbor, no matter wht, is a champion and consequently a hero. There are prizes to be won and honors t be gained in every wlk of life if we ex- cel in what we undertake. Toronto Line North Last Week's Items. Rain came at last, after many threaten- ing attempts. Miss Adda Wright of Flesherton visited with M ins Elva Lever. Messrs. Fred and Lyall Mathewson of Toronto viaited a few days with their uncle, Fred Mathewson, here.

The parly in question received at that time the munificent annual salary of 1240 for her services. She asked for 1200 but the trustees could not see their way clear to increasing the salary so outrageously, ifc^fUrftcS ..marked : "We will soon have to sell our farms if salaries go up like this !" The teacher got a larger salary in soother school and the section he left was obliged to pay 300 to a new teacher. That Hecrion to-day payg its teacher a salary of 000 and there is no murmuring. But it is a big step in advance of the high-water mark of thirty yearn ago whun f240 wai thought to be the limit.

Jack left his farm on the gravel road with the two pigs in his wagon to catch the stock train south and hen he arrived at the yards he called Mr. Frank Smith the buyer, to help him unload his twine, but to his discomfiture when he looked into the wagon, the pig*. weie not thtre. First assuring himself that he wax awake, Jack turned to Mr- Smith and exclaimed. "I'm dead sure I put those pigs in there!". This never- theless did not alter the situation, and .fuck climbed disconsolately into hia neat and started homeward. He had only proceeded as far as the biicoit factory, however, when he discovered his porkers along the roadside. Jack would not trust them in the wngon nnd drove them on foot to the depot, arriving there in time t> catch the train.
