In connection with the changing of the Sabbath we will say this. No matter how offensive it may seem to the old- er people, unless they rise up and prevent the commercializ- ing of the day by business interests, their children will be brought up to it and think nothing of the open Sabbath and when that takes place the Sabbath quietness will be gone forever.â€"Kincadine Review. Our own philosophy: You can’t measure a man’s life by his tombstone. When a man gets 30 days in jail, he claims “the time will never pass.” If he gives a note for 30 days the time is up before he knows what has happened. It’s a case where the law of average does not apply. The Christmas season is once more with us and citizens should be mindful of their home merchants in making Christmas purchases. Richmond Hill Board of Trade announces another Com- munity Banquet. Board of Trade banquets in Richmond Hill have always been well supported and this one will follâ€" ow in a long line of successes. Advertising in The Liberal is one way to let people know what you have to sell, when you have it. There may be other methods but we know of no other way that does the work as well or as cheaply. V This is the season when many motorists neglect to ob- serve the stop signs and the practice is one which may cause a serious accident. Even if traffic is not as heavy as in summer, the stop street signs mean what they sayâ€"â€"â€"STOP! From the viewpoint of the individual master there is nothing in the animal world that can take the place of a good dog, and yet, when these same masters assemble in council with the responsibility of a municipality on their shoulders, sentimental considerations are thrown to the winds and compensation for sheep killed by dogs is paid in a spirit of helplessness and danger. Dogs cost the Township of Westminster $1,068 in September and no county or townâ€" ship oflicials anywhere can be expected to endure such an onslaught on their treasury Without contemplating drastic action to curb the depredations of sheep-killing dogs. This is the time of year that hunters almost outdo fish- ermen in telling stories. The sentiment prevails that since we have dogs some of them must be sheep killers, so by raising a fund through the sale of tags or licenses, compensation can be paid to s eep raisers who suffer loss and everything will be all ri ht. That attitude is absolutely wrong and ruinous to the sheep raising industry. If a detective can trace a criminal Who has committed some offence With the utmost cunning and design, surely a canine brute could be trailed and his owner punished for neglect and for keeping a destructive dogâ€"Farmers Advocate. The Richmond Hill Young Men’s Social Club will now vie with “Dinty Moore’s” for the claim of the social centre of the town. The influence of the country weekly in relation to the big metropolitan daily in the communities they serve is oftâ€" en a point of discussion. The following opinion of Arthur Brisbane, an editorial writer of considerable note who supâ€" plies a syndicate column for both classes of papers, is, there- fore, interesting. “The smaller newspapers of the country are the most important newspapers, incidentally in proport- ion to their circulation their advertising results are the bigâ€" gest and their advertising rates the smallest in the country. They are read through from end to end. Every copy of circulation means an entire family, not a family that lives in one room with a can opener, but a family that owns its hou- se, and land around it, at least ninety times out of a hund- red; a family that buys everything from the roof ’on the house, to the cement on the cellar floor, from the hat on mother’s head to the shoes on the boys’ feet. The service that their publishers render to the public is, in my opinion, the most important service rendered by any class of citizens in Canada. The country editors are distributors of informâ€" ation; they reach the minds of the boys that leave the farms and they are the nation’s mental police force.” Richvale Service Station PAGE TWO George Stokes, Prop.

A few hours later Butler, while making his usual rounds, noticed a bright light, and making for the di- rection from which it was seen, dis« covered that the barn was a maSS of flames. Efforts were made in vain to rescue the animals entrapped, and a call was put in for the Richmond Hill Fire Brigade, who soon had three lines of hose in play. but the flames, fanned by a stiff easterly breeze, con- tinued to make considerable headway. Several of the firemen Were menaced by the tongues of flame, which shot :out from the building, as they were ain a lane between the barn and the large residence, trying to save the latter. l They battled against heavy odds for ‘a considerable period, as citizens kept ‘pouring pails of water over them, and 1finally managed to subdue the out- ‘break and save the residence. The loss, it is stated, will run into several ’thousands of dollars, which, however, iis said to be covered by insurance. ‘The blaze was plainly visible for a dis- itance of 25 miles, and attracted a lar- ‘lge crowd of villagers. I James Butler, the night watchman, informed the police that late on Sat- urday night, two tramps were at the building, and sought admiSSion for the night. Butler declined to allow them in, and as they left, the two men vow- ed that they would destroy the place. The police fully believe that the two tramps, who earlier in the night had been refused admission, carried out their threat, and set fire to the buildings, making a possible getaway on a train which slowed down when the flames shot out in the direction of the railway tracks.
