The Bowden Guardian: The gopher
shooting season opened on last Sum

lerfect for the sport, but there were a
few who could not withstand the

ether holes. If the coming Of ducks

The Wyndmere Pioneer: We have
learned that the business of farming
Is at least one Of the most scientific
on earth, that the farmer needs to
know more things, and know them
we'll, than a mar in almost any other
line Of activity: that farming is a
business which requires for its success
the application OF business methods Of
as high a grade as any other business;
and that it Is possible, by the admix-
ture Of brains, industry, and optimism,
to make the life of the farm not mere
y tolerable but full to the brim Of the
things which make for the highest de-
gree Of happiness and usefulness.
The Glenburn Advance is opposed
to h present method OF conducting
village, township and school elections.
The paper says as a rule one OF two
or more tickets Is handed to the yot-
ers as the official ballot and lis voted
as such by most voters without even
moving from the presence of the cleo
ton judges. This seriously Aandicaps
the man who is running independent
OF the caucus ticket and often defeats
the wishes Of the voters. A caucus is
often controlled by a small percentage
or the voter of a precinct and often
does not represent their wishes but
after a person gets his name on the
caucus ticket, under the present sys-
TEN, he has a big advantage over any
other candidate.
