The editor of the Wiarton Echo gets off this human nature homily in a late issue. It reads just as if it had occurred in Richmond Hill. ‘I am very temperamental. About a month ago Donald Cameron came in and stopped the Echo for 1933 be- lhause we simply can’t afford the $2.00 and at that I like the paper and will miss it. I was very disappointed but I hadn’t an argument in the world to offer him for I fully realize just how little money the farmers are handling these days. I can get along without Donald’s 2.00, but Donald’s stopping it made me just wonder where this thing is going to end and I could vision our list of farmers beâ€" ing entirely decimated. And it made me feel darn blue and pessimistic. As a newspaperman, I fully realize that weekly newspapers are being pretty‘ hard hit in this depression. Foreign‘ advertising is about gone and I felt that if our farm subscribers began to drop off where will a lot of usi smaller newspapers get off at and how soon. To-day the phone rang, I ans-l wered it. “Donald Cameron, R. R. No. 5, speaking!” ‘Yes, Donald’ ‘Say Duncan, put my name back on your list and I’ll drop in the first time I’m in town and give you the $2.00. We certainly miss the Echo. And to show how small a margin between a fellow feeling blue and fine is, that little incident is the size of it very often. Yes, it has put my outlook on the future back to normal.

THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO We believe that such winter head- quarters with insects, a number of the carnivorous animal family, and a rodent occupying the “apartments” have never been unearthed before-â€" hence the appropriate title “the Mysâ€" try Tree.” Mr. Bedell informed this paper that he planned to cut down another tree and expected to find a beanâ€"Sterling News-Argus. On Monday afternoon when Messrs. Neil Bedell and Ernest Searles cut down a basswood tree on the Iatter’s farm, near Minto, little did they re- alize that three big surprises were housed in the wooded plant. When the tree was felled, three holes were noticed, about two feet apart, near _the top. However, no particular at- tention was paid to them at that time. The sawing operations began, and after cutting off a twelve foot log and several cordwood lengths, the wood-cutters arrived at the first hole. Upon investigation it was found to contain a beehive, with the bees alive, and considerable honey. The bees were numb and fell to the ground lifeless when pulled out. This was interesting and the next hole was ap- proached, and lo and behold, a most beautiful weasel, an enemy of poul- try, was found cuddled up for the winter. What a surprise! The next opening was reached, with a tings of excitement, and when the interior was inspected, a big fat mouse, with a store of beachnuts, was brought forth.
