A skating rink has been opened in Eaton,
but it will not be a resource of great wealth
to the interested. Skating Kinks are getting
in bad repute all over the country, As places

not. and that is why they are on the down
grade. Good bye!
"To print or not to print" is what often puz-
zles a local editor. Subscribers expect all the
news, but discretion forbids the publication
of many TENS that would be interesting to a
hundred readers, but which would make one
to two fighting mad. 1t isn't the easiest thing
to steer clear of trouble in a country print
shop. Jokes are considered very proper when
cracked at the expense of other fellows, but
Just keep "our' names out of print is what all
the jokers want. The DEMOCRAT refuses to
publish all such contributions.
