Perhaps the folk who say that have juEt read fifty items in a newspaper and have discovered an error in one of them. They overlook the forty- nine that were right, and are amused or di.sgustt'd by one that was wrong. Every error the newspaper makes is spread before the public for ridi- cule and censure. People usually see it, and it forms a subject of public conversation. If some merchant or clerk with whom you .are dcalini; makes a mistake^ no one knows about it except him and you. Newpaper people constantly travel all over their home towns and tramp weaiy miles to verify doubtful items and avoid errors. Little is said about that. Newspaper work is done hurriedly. Few newspapers have forces of edi- tors and reporters so large that every item can be verified with the utmost care. If a reporter has a â-  dozen assignments to cover in an afternoon, he has to do some rush- ing from one place to another. Per- haps he did not take pains enough in one place, but very likely he was worrying for fear that someone else he needed to interview would leave his shop or home before he could be seen. Many terrors are caused by the carelessness of people who give in- formation. They are told the wrong name, or have accepted an unver- ified rumor as the truth, and passed it on to the reporter. TWO TO ONE Some years ago just after Jimmy Foxx had broken into the regular line-up with the Philadelphia Athlet- ics, the Boston Red jSox ca>nie to Philly to play a series. George Mor- arty was umpiring behind the plate. Foxx took two terrific cuts at the first two pitches and let the third float by. "Strike three, you're out" said the umpire. Foxx turned indignantly. "You missed that one, George." "Well, you missed the other two," Moriarty replied. "You're one up on me." â€" Wall Street Journal. Curlers Won Prizes Flcsherlon curlers attended the Markdalc bonspiel Wednesday and Thursday of last week and the three links did remarkably well. Dargavel defeated Welton in the semi-final of the first event and Alex. Stewart of Maikdale won from Piper, which left Dargavel and Stewart in the final. Welton defeated Piper in the third round of the second event and Welton won his game from Williscroft of Owen Sound in the semi final. Walker of Clarksburg decided that they had played enough and defaulted the final to Fluherton, which was awarded first prize in the second competition. Due to the mild weather the two final games will be played later in Markdale for possession of cups awarded for competition and for the winner of first place in the first competition. Tommy was at Sunday School and he had heard the teacher dwelling on the Christian's duty to turn his cheek to the smiter. "Now, Tommy,'' she said, when she thought it time to see how much of her lesson had lodged itself in her scholars' minds, "what would you do, supposing another boy hit you on the right cheek?" Tommy considered for a moment and then asked "How big a boy ere you supposing." The Irish conductor in a Toronto street car said "Will them in front please move up so them behind can take the places and leave room for them that's neither in front nor behind."

Local and Personal Mr. and Mrs. F. H. W. Hickling spent the week end in Toronto. Miss Jeanette Cargoe is visiting in Sault Ste. Marie. Mrs. F. G. Karstedt visited the past week at Elmwood. Mrs. Blackburn has returned from holidaying in Toronto. Miss Lois Reynolds of Toronto, cousin of Mrs. G. R. Service, is spend- ing a few weeks at the parsonage. Miss Alice Armstrong left for To- ronto the first of the week, where she will spend a couple of months. The inaugural meeting of Artemesia Township Council was held in Flesh- erton on Monday. Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Cobb returned to their home in Toronto, after spend- ing the Christmas holidays with Rev. and Mrs. Service. An impromptu meeting of the vill- age council was held Monday evening but apparently there was not much of interest for the public as the press was not notified. Last year consid- erable business was transacted with- out the press being informed of the meetings. Mrs. Allie McLean of Priceville again comes to the fore with an- other large pullet egg; there seems to be considerable rivalry in large eggs from the Priceville vicinity. The new egg is six and a quarter by seven and a half inches. Come on, Norman, and let us see an egg larger than this one.

For example, Quebec had more deaths from children's diseases than Ontario, seventy-five from mea- sles as against nineteen; sixty-one from scarlet fever as against twenty- two; 170 from whooping cough as against forty-seven; 142 from dip- theria as against eight in Ontario. Other diseases move fatal in Quebec than in Ontario included: typhoid fev- er sixty-two as against thirteen; in- fluenza fi78 as against 413; tuber- culosis 1,407 as against 636. It will be noticed that all these causes come within the class of infectious diseases. On the other hand Ontario suffered much more heavily than Quebec fi-om diseases of middle life and later. It had 3,855 deaths from diseases of the heart, 1.685 more than Quebec; 2,506 from diseases of the arteries, 1,552 more than Quebec and 2,216 from cancer, 632 more than Quebec. Quebec had 564 deaths from diarr- hoea and enteritis, Ontario 155; Que- bec had 1,564 from nephritis, Ontar- io 997. Ontario's violent deaths num- bered 1,304 as against 713 in Quebec. The records for live births give Quebec first place with 39,066, Ontar- io second with 32,624 and Saskatch- ewan third with 8,472. y >ivtwoisro^r KENNEDY'S "^S for Fresher Groceries P-NUT BUTTER, fresh 2 tbs. 25c PEAS, CORN, TOMATOES 3 for 25c SODAS, real fresh 2 tbs. 25c MATCHES, 3 boxes 21c PRUNES, large size 3 lbs. 25c LONDON HOUSE TEA, none better, .... per tb. 65c FRUITS AND VEGETABLES OUR SPECIALTY (.AND ALWAYS FRESH) MEATS â€" Fresh, Cured and Co<^ed For Better Bread try a bag of Robin Hood Flour today C. J. KENNEDY PHONE 37 WE DELIVER Live Stock Repori (By Dunn & Levack. Toronto) Supplies of cattle for Monday's market were much too heavy, with the result that the market was very slow and all classes from 15 to 25 cents lower. Weighty steers were in poor demand and sold lower. Over 2,000 cattle were left unsold at the close. Choice heavy steers brought from ( .75 to 7.00, with those of fair to good quality from 6.00 to 6.50, medium 5.50. Choice butcher steers and heif- ers sold at from 6.25 to 6.50, fair to good from 5.50 to (>.00, common to medium 4.50 to 5.25. Choice baby beeves were in good demand from 8.00 to 9.00, but those of medium qual- ity slow at from 5.50 to 7.50. The cow trade was easier, choice from 4.25 to 4.50 with a few extra choice heif- ery cows from 4.75 to 5.00, fair to good from 3.50 to 4.00, common to medium 3,00 to 3.25, canners and cutters. 2;50 to 2.90. Bulls held steady, choice from 4.50 to 4.75, com- mon to medium 3.50 to 4.00. Choice lambs -sold at 9.25 with hose of medium to good quality at '.00. Choice butcher sheep 4..50. I'v s held steady, choic" from 9.50 10.00 with some at 10.50, fair to â-  "' 8.00 to 9.25, common to medium :10 -.o 7.50. Severe declines were .shown in th • \L' market recently on account ^e 'mportation of dressed nork ' . 1 "iiifcd Stiit«>s, also United Kin^-- ' !". nii'i'kf.'ts are working much lower Most of the truck hogs sold on Mon- day at 8.75, and the prospects for the balance of the week look uncertain. Doesn't Last Long Enou{^ One fault with the Christmas spirit is that it doesn't last long enough. Those in need are always with us and get just as hungry in June as- in December. Christmas cheer should, be spread about all through the year- and not confined to one short season. Most of us are like the fellow who got converted at the revival meeting. For a time he was a saint, but ia a short time was out raising hell again. Too many people have the Saint Nicholas idea during December- only, and in succeeding months be- come their old grasping selves. â€" Dur- ham Chronicle.
