LI = draft of the prize list of the Seed De- partment of the "Royal" for 1924. This has been revised with the hope of being able to interest a number of growers distant from the "Royal." The quantities required for exhibition have been reduced so as to reduce transportation costs, the classification slightly changed and some increases made in the individual prizes. Anything you may be able to do in encouraging exhibits among the grow- ers with whom you come in contact will be very much appreciated, as it is desired to make the "Royal" of as great service as possible to the whole of Canada. : A.

Minors and Death Sentence-- "It is not for the court to say that he will not in anycaseenforce capital punishment, but he believes it is with- in the province to decline to impose the sentence of death on persons who are not of full age. "This determination appears to be in accordance with the progress of criminal law all over the world and ity. The records show only two cases of minors who were put to death by legal process, to which number the an addition."
