THURSTON, - - Editor F. J. THURSTON - Assoc. Editor electrified the world in the last days of the nineteenth century. Too bad Mac had no successor! * Before he goes to Toronto next month, to visit the massive perform- ances of the Shriners, a correspond- ent desires to know just who these charu are. This is one of the great secret societies of the world, the full name of which is, "The Ancient Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine." It was first established on this continent in 1872, but it U claimed to have been first organized at Mecca by the son-in-law^ of Mohommed about A.D. 646. We are not prepared to deny this. There are many members of the Order in Canada, but its greatest strength is in the United States, from which country the brethern in Toronto are expecting 'over 200,000 unformed men, with all their variegated paraphernalia, camels, and kindred live stock. We doubt if this dis- trict can contribute to the colossal demonstration as membership is re- stricted to Kniphts, Templars and 32 Freemasons and our crop r.f these distinguished unifo.1m4d' dignitaries i" rather 'slim. Anyone, however, can go to Fleet street, look and ad- mire. EDITORIAL NOTES. Coal is not a mineral but a rock, according to the British director of Fuel Research. It is, he says, simply a portion of the earth's crust. We will have to revi.se our diction- aries. . ; <-. Record catches of trout are being reported from some parts of the Georgian Bay district, but the fish which were captured are as nothing compared with the monsters that got away. It is announced that the measure to change the radio system will not be proceeded with in the present Dominion Parliament. This is as it should be. It is doubtful anyway if radical changes would be an Im- provement upon the present arrange- ments, th'.ugh <|(jubtlf.ss changes will be made as time passes.

Taking off train.-, became oi de- vi cased traffic, freight a:' \vell as passenger, is proceeding in Great Britain as well as in Canadi. II' p(->l>Ie prefer travelling 1 by bus or auto instead of by train, and if they patronize trucks instead of railway cars, for the transport of freight, they cannot expect the railway com- panies to run non-paying train.-!. Nor can they hope to escape paying heavy rates for the wear and tear of the highways by the innovating vehicles. * * The public throughout Canada ap- pear to have received with calmness, if not indifference, the news that o Oeneral Election for the Dominion Parliament will be held during the ensuing summer. The members at Ottawa seem to be the most excited, no doubt with good cause, for history is likely to repeat itself, and not n few will either voluntarily retire ai dissolution or be retired by tlu> el- ectors at the polls. The fight Is however, likely to be a strenuous one, and the issue, in view of th< latest complications, by no mean, r foregone conclusion.

Perhaps it is because your parents lived here before you and you never thought to move. More likely it is because you saw a chance to invest to good advantage here, or earn a good living, or establish yourself at a moderate expense where your family could have all the advantages of a live community. You found desirable schools, churches and business interests. You realized that Flesherton was a progressive community and a desirable place in which to live. Certainly you would not live here if you thought that you and your family would be much better off somewhere else. If you did vou would be foolish, for your first duty is towards your family. Flesherton has progressed in the past because the merchants of the town and other civic enterprises have received the support of the residents. On the continuance of this patronage depends the future success of the community. If the merchants are not sup- ported they will retire from business and your money which should go to building up the town will go to other cities_tp place them in front of Flesherton. You believe that the town will advance. Do your bit by buying in Flesherton. Keep your dollars at home. Buy in Flesherton. F. G.
