task will be an easy one for thetelegrams map of ontario contains only one place of any importance toronto when me telegram undertakes anything it doesnt do it by halves so it makes the moat of every

years the length f the working day and the necessity for increased production havo been closely related and much discussed topics the old twelvehour day is rapidly becoming thing of the past many farmers however have found it not too long during fho busy weeks of the pist season but with many other classes even the ight hour day shows a tendency to shrink every man who works either with his head or with hut hands has a right to enough of the day for proper rest and recreation but on the other handitshoul dttercnieneticu work has other measures than time there are men who work ten or twelvo hours and hardly earn their keep others attack their assigned task with such energy that six hours of their work means more than tho twelvo hours of the other sort it is a good rule to think

to pay the policies held by a country hotel keeper whoso hotel was destroyed by fire because ho had not notified them that a prohibition by law had been adopted in that municipality a fact which they alleged depreciated the value of the insured pro perty increased the risk and so caused the policies to became null what the lav means by change aj fecting the risk said mr justice carroll of the court of appeal is a change which will aggravate the risk of fire bat it cannot be said and it does not appear in tho record rthat a country hotel is more prosperous when intoxicating liquors are sold ttjerc than when such sale is prohibited rather i should say that a temperance hotel in the country would attract more customers because better kept than if intoxicating liquors were sold there at all events the prohibition voto does not make jt a question of change in the insurance risk which would compel the insured to give notice of the fact globe pmmlaxnt haltona first police magistrate in

and mayor in the county however he performed what was tho most important public service when the canada temperance act was carried in 1r70 there was great difficulty in the ad ministration of the law in tho opening months after it became in force because local magistrates found it vory unpopular at that time to make convictions upon thetr neighbors who were proven guilty of in fractions of tho new liquor act to overcome this the leaders of the temperance movement in halton appealed to the attorney general s department for the appointment of a police magistrate for the whole county tho request was granted and in looking for the beat man available for the new position w h young of oakville was chosen and appointed dur ing the six years this act was in force mr young fearlessly administered the law he showed no fear he granted no favors he held courts when neces spry in various part of the county making it as on a f acouao a witweaaes- to attend the trials he was keen alert and uncom tpjcomising in hfs judgments- through his admin uttration tho success xtt tho canada temperarice was greater in halton than perhaps any other county in ontario mr young was a liberal an active member
