' ^ THE FLESHERTON A© VANCE TEACHERS' l$ALARiES DECREASE From tht fact that one of Car- rick's school boards received an of- fer from a teacher to take charire of their school at ♦VSO.OO per annum it would appear that teachers' s<|lar- ie« are due for a slump, says the Mildmay Gaiette. In the past, ow- ing to the system upon which the Legirlativf grants were based, a school section was as far ahead by paying |1J)00 as it wobld have been by paying fSOO, there was no reason cut off these grants, there will be a bi>; drop in teachers' pay checks.

Armslrong & Son FLESHERTON Flesherton bowed to defeat at Dundaik on Thursday to the Green- shirts of that town 10 â€" 9, after giv- ing them a scara that they will re- member for some time. Flesherton Patronize f^n down badly in the first inning which cost them the game when Dun- daik hit Hutton freely counting five runs, three errors being made. At the end of the third inning Dundaik! â- was leading eight runs to two, Akins scoring the two runs for Flesherton. We have got a real fighting team in Flesherton and they drew right up to the leaders, and at the commence- ment of the. ninth were behind 10 â€" 8. A big ral^ took place in the ninth, the first th»ee men for Flesherton hitting safely, and Hutton scoring and Dow and Boyd left on 3rd and 2n^Avith none down. An error by the coach on McTavish's long hit to centre field cost the local team a , chance to tie the score when Dow was unable to count. The next two men were easy o.uts. After the sec- ond inning, Hutton had good support and pitched well, only allowing three runs the rest of the game. ' The lineup for the game was : Flesherton â€" Kelly. Akins, Hutton, Dow, Boyd, McTavish, Alcox, Thurston I and Sparks. i Dujidalk â€" M. Thompson, Arm- strong, Claridge, V. Russel, McAllis ter, Lockhart, Mercer, C. Thompson, and Mclntyre.

Now this man is one of our very best friends, but we regret his contiual assumption that the editor does nothing but sit in his easy chair. Then there is another wise guy who ' calls at the office at intervals and brings in a column or two of matter "just to help fill up -the paper." If the average ' reader of any news- pape>r could see the editorial waste basket, he would be amazed at the amouiit of proaganda, free press agent stuff and vain efforts to get advertising published as news, that goes into that waste basket every day. Just why other wise intelli- gent men will spend money in an ef- fort to gets something for nothing in fhe local newspaper is one of the big problems of to-day. Ever since the world war, when newspaper editors generously printed columns of free matter for the war loans, the army and navy activities, and other appeals for foreign relief, a hundred corpor- ations have been trying to get into â- print on the same basis. They have wasted enough money in this effort to pay the space they seek at regular advertising rates. Politicians, reform- ers, charity workers, a hundred wel- fare organizations that pay every- body else a salary, pile the editor's desk high with free publicity. For a time the editor smiled and hung the copy on the compositor's hook, but as everybody got to doing it, the hook wouldn't hold the free copy and the waste basket got the overflow. To-day the waste basket won't hold it and most of it goes direct from the editorial desk to the baler. In self-defense the editor who seeks to meet his bills and pay his employees has adopted the very simple slogan "You charge, we charge." Which means that advertising for all events where an admission fee is charged must be paid for. quick sale at this office. Young and Alexander Sts.
