Look to the value round about us, Lo, Laughing 8.8. says "Into the game I go;" At once the change is heavier and the pound— The smiling housewife sees go further round. ■ " ■ 43 Two samples of a new. type of baton have been submitted to the Victorian Police Department for trial by the uniformed and plainclothes members of the force, says the '' Age.'' The baton, which is of loaded rubber, is much smaller than the wooden baton now in use, but it is claimed to be equally effective and more easily carried. At present it is not customary for 1 he plain-clothes police to carry batons but as the rubber batons are only fourteen inches long and one and "a quarter inches thick, they could be carried without discomfort in any ordinary pocket, and for that reason the plain-clothes constables may adopt them. The matter is still at,the trial'stage, however, and no recommendations have -yet A country contemporary talks like a father to a man who "stopped his paper" because of some comment on a local happening: KMy friend, after you get angry and stop your paper, just poke your finger into'jrater, pull it out and look' at the hole. Then you will know how sadly you are missed. A. man who thinks a paper cannot tlirive without his support ought to go off and stay awhile. When he comes back lialf his • friends will not know he had gone, and the other half, will not care, while the world at large kept no account of his movements. You will find things you cannot endorse in every paper. The Book of Books is often very plain, and hits some very hard raps, but if you were to get' mad and burn your Bible the hundreds of presses would still go on printing it- So when you stop your paper and call the editor names, the paper will still be published."
