The territory has intimate associations for the noted funny singer; it was ordinarily pur- chased for his son who was killed in the Great War, and it contains the burial place of Lady Lauder. It is many years now since Sir Harry first sang his way into the affections of English-speaking people all over the world; but though he is now sixty- two years of age his voice still earns the admiration of aadicnces in great halls, in the wireless studio, and in th^ reception rooms of the great Harry will keep singing on and writ- ing songs â€" not always poetry â€" to the end. • • * Teachers and persons applying for positions are strongly objecting to the provision "state salary" in the advertisements. They contend, and we think properly, that trustee boards and others who are advertising posi- tions should state the position vacant, the nature of the qualifications and the .salary they are prepared to give. Then, either by per.'ional application or by correspondence, they can make their choice. When positions are filled by "Dutch auction," teachers allege they are placed in an anomal- ous position. They know that in recent years salaries have been de- creasing, and they wish to meet trus- tees part way, but they urge that the trustees are really in a position to save time and trouble by setting the salary. The trustees know what they will pay before the vacant post is made known and the farmer know.? what he can afford to pay. Let the anxieties of the unt-Tiiployed be re- lieved as much as possible by announc- ing the job and the pay that will be given to the competent successful ap- plicant. Wound Up Activities The Trail Ranger.s wound up the season's activities on Friday evening last with a soft ball game at the high school from 7 to 8 o'clock; then they went to the chuj-ch vvlvere they met the invited guests of the even- ing. They played games such as crokinole, etc., then had lunch. A very pleasant evening was spent, which was the last of the season. During the winter the Rangers held regular weekly meetings, one feature hehig the study of Bible Heroes. At the close of the season a written examination was held when ten wrote and seven passed. Burton Bellamy, son of Mr. C. J. Bellamy, took the higiicst marks. Our popular public school principal, (MV. C. Chappie, was the examiner. Escaped Drowning Friday evening last excitement rtiiigatd at the mill pond when two young women, Opel Weber and Mary Wilson, narrowly escaped drowaing. The girls were on a raft not far from fehore. Miss Weber is an expert swimmer, but Miss Wilson dl-* not know how to swim. The latter sat on the edge of the reft while Miss Weber sported in the water near by. In some manner Miss Wilion accid- entally slipped from the raft, and as Hiss Weber attempted to assist her back on the raft she was grabbed around tht neck and both girla went uryler. George MrMaster and Rv- erett Henry went to their ar«s!Starv<e and pulled them ashore. Both g;rl< were quite overcome, hut not un- conscious. It was a very close call. Had tht girls been a little further from shore it would have btM?n trai,'- «dy in place of drama. Picnic Saturday Preparations have been completed for a fine sports program to be held at the picnic of the Old Boys' and Girls' Association being held at Han- lan's Point, Toronto, this Saturday afternoon. Suitable prizes will be awarded to the winners in the events listed below. In addition a softball game is being arranged to take place after supper.

There are families that we knew in early childhood, there are earlier ones than those, who were of much import- ance, for dnfetance: the Campbells, iflather of the late Col. A. G., who owned the south east quarter of the village; the other Campbells, who ran such an excellent woollen mill, and of whom five boys played in the Flesherton band, and one, Nathaniel once was Methodist choir leader. "The CuUen family lived about where the public library was, in thi old Methodist church buildingr on the hill, destroyed by fire a few years ago. ~-E. K.

IDEAL RANGE FOR CHICKS An ideal range for chicks is a cSover field beside a corn field, or an orchard, where they can get all the succulent green feed they can eat and still have shade as required. Given those conditions, once the chicks go upon range they can be reared with very little labor, dependence being placed mainly on hopper feeding. aged to be present.
