They will ap- pear on the streets in the flesh and will probably be mischief bent. It: is time for the good household- er to take precautions, verandah chairs have oftimes been spirited away to the tops of hydro stan- dards, steps have been remroved from their rightful 'positions and weal fences have collapsed in sud- den fashion, He who wishes to guard his property will not tempt the Hallowe'en sprites unnecessar- ily. Those who doudt that the world is getting bétter year by year, must at least admit that the witches of present days aré by no means as wild and inconsiderate as they were in days gone by. The old- timers of the town can tell of many a Hallowe'en prank which, although. it may have been funny to the misguided jokers, wrought rcal havdship to the victims, The performers were by no means small beys but more often lads who had reached young manhood and who knew well the difference between a good joke and a mean one, Out buildings were tackled by these vandals and toppled off their bases stout fences were pulled down, steps were removed causing a men. ace to the unwary, A farmer mizht rise on the morning after to find his bugey straddling the barn roof. These feats eouid not be per- formed hy youngsters alone, Street Fair This is not the case today, Few use +Hallowe'en as an excuse for vandalism, but the event is now celebrated in better ways with de- lightful parties for the children, masquerades. and so forth, The big street fair, commencing at 7 and of fun for everybody, and Hal. lowe'en 'will be celebrated locally in royal fashion with real com- munity spirit. SLIT WACHINES ARE ILLEGAL IN TOWN OF WHITBY Magistrate Willis Registers Conviction Against' Pool Room Proprietor (By aff Reporter) Whitby, Oct, 31,--The slot ma- chine has been declared illegal by Magistrate Willis, who in police court yesterday afternoon, comviet- ed Harry Vorvis, local pool room proprietor, on a charge of keeping a common gaming house. His Worship reserved sentence pending an appeal which will be made by W. H. Kennedy, counsel for the de- fendant. Element of Chance The decision of Magistrate Wil- lis will affect a number of local restaurant and pool room owners who have these particular slot ma- chines in their possession, De- fence counsel had contended that as each time one put a nickel in the slot, value was received in the form» of a package of mints, and that the machine was therefore not a gambling device. Magistrate Willis, however, gave the matter lengthy consideration and after consulting the attorney general's department finally concluded that it was the element of chance which gave the machine its popularity and brought profit to its owner. Skill Doesn't Couns One might invest a dollar in this way and receive nothing but mings, he said, on the other hand one might invest but ten cents and in addition' to two packages of mints receive more in actual cash, The magistrate found that skill played little or no part in the transaction. The case yesterday was a test as the police had received complaints from citizens who alleged that their children = were tempted to waste money through the medium of the machine. MISS 1.

The exhibit- ors who did take part, however, were very well pleased with the results and are hoping that future similar shows may be held in the county. It is to be regretted that more far- mers did not show in the market clas- ses, because the prize money was not all taken up and a very high price was received by those who did mar- ket their hogs that day. Educational Features The chief value of the Fair, how- ever, was the educational features. It was clearly demonstrated to the far- mers that if they are raising a good type of swine they should demand a grading when they are sold, instead of selling on a flat basis as they are at present. It is also in the interests of the shippers and packers that this method be adopted as nothing else will raise the standard of hogs pro- duced as quickly. The Fair was held under the capable auspices of L. Pearsall, Chief, Dominion Hog Grad- ers; I. B. Martin, of the Live Stock Branch, Toronto; D. McKinnon, Hog Grader of Peterboro; H. Maybee, Hog. Grader, Toronto, and J. Y. Kel- lough, Agricultural Representative, Port Hope.
