Beads of perspiration are popping out on your face, and your collar is in a sad state of collapse. Some heartless friend persists in reading aloud the cheerful items on the from page of the paper concerning the numerous deaths from heat prostration all over the country, and, turning over to the next page, dis- courses on the grave danger of water famine. OutSIde the green grass that was springing up so verdantly a few weeks ago, is looking dry and lifeless and Wilted. You drink another glass of icewater, mop your brow again, and drawn as though by a magnet you turn again to the thermometer and see the mercury just below the hundred mark. There are instruments that weakly assert that it’s ninety when everybody knows it’s hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk. A passing acquaintance bru- tally asks, “Is it hot enough for you?” And an equally pestiferous human calamity grabs you by the arm andin- sists on explaining that it’s not the heat but the humidlty. Dogs lie drooping on doorsteps. _ It’s the good old summer time. It’s the time that the And remember it’s the poets and the song writers praise. - time you were wishing for four or five months ago when there was still plenty of snow on the ground. Well, it’s here. No need to ask if it’s hot or not. $t***** HUMOR The circus manager was proudly showing off his collecâ€" tion of animals to a group of interested spectators and finally came to the cage housing the Laughing Hyena; “This, ladies and gentlement,” he said, “Is the Laughing Hyena. He has been in captivity for five years, eats one meal a day, is bitten by fleas and is slightly mangy; yet he keeps on laughing.” . Like the Hyena, the public have little to laugh about these days but, unlike the Hyena, they scarcely ever crack a smile. Gloom and depression are rife everywhere and , everybody is down in the dumps. We can all take a lesson from the Hyena and laugh, thus contributing our share toward the brightening of the world in general. A sence of humor is what we most. lack now-a-days; we are all developing a too serious attitude toward life in general. ‘ ‘ During the late war, the Canadian soldier had less to laugh about than has the average man to-day; yet it was the unquenchable spirit of humor that finally brought him triumphant through his ordeal. A heaven-sent gift of humor has saved many a man from suicide and crime and it behoves us all to develop this rare talent to its full extent. “Laugh and the world laughs with you; weep, and you weep alone” is as true to-day as ever it was. Ask yourself who is the most popular man at the party and you will usually find that it isn’t the savant but the man with a smile. The world welcomes him everywhere. Let us all make up our minds to wear a Smile, in season and out of season and it will be astonishing how our troubles will melt as the snows before the summer sun. *****$**Â¥ CONCERNING NEWSPAPERS Some interesting facts concerning newspapers and ad- vertising are contained in a new book by Fred J. Haskin, veteran syndicator of information, from which the follow- ing are condensed: . . Egyptians used advertising 4,000 years ago. Most early advertising was pictorial in character. The first newspaper advertising is said to have appeared in Germany in 1591. . It is estimated that about two billion dollars are spent annually for all kinds of advertising in North America. The fastest modern newspaper presses can turn out about 34,000 24-page papers an hour, and a somewhat larger number of 12-page or 16-page papers. _ The first news agency in the modern sense is believed to have been that organized by Charles Havas of Farm in 1835. In 1840 he established a news service betWeen Paris, London and Brussels, using carrier pigeons. James Gordon Bennett began the publication of the first review of financial news in the New York Herald in 1835. Newspaper editorials were originated by John Dilling- ham, an English journalist, and one of them got him into jail in 1845. Sometimes justly and sometimes unjustly, other editors have met a similar fate many times since. * * * * * * * FAMILY RE-UNIONS Time was when a family re-union was a matter of long preparation and much planning. Nowadays the mem- ber charged with the secretarial duty sends out the post- cards the women of the households get busy with the picnic dinner, and on the morning of the appointed day the varâ€" ious scattered families hitch up their old flivvers and hop to it. 1 Pride in a family name is usually back of these gath- erings of the clans. As our civilization takes on age, men think more of their forefathers and the part they played in the building of the great structure of our national and community life. I Sometimes the decendants and relatives by marriage go back to the ancestral home, assembling at the call of the secretary for a day of j ollification each summer in the open. There is such a mingling of personalities and social ranks as makes for good democracy, and those who participate are the better for their annual re-unions with those of blood relationship whose walks in life are usually so far removed they never meet except on these occasions. WHY TAKE CHANCES? The practice by some motorists of ignoring “stop” street signs is something that requires police attention. In several instances accidents have been avoided by the narrowest of margins and if the careless driver is not taught that stop means exactly what it says, there will unâ€" doubtedly be serious accidents. If a few of the offenders were prosecuted it may teach others to respect traffic laws. The motorist who deliber- ately turns into a through street without stopping is not only endangering his own life but the life of some other driver. Why take chances? ___â€"â€"--~ THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO Work in other sections of New $42,571.55. â€"â€"Chesley Enterprise.
