This total is said to be considerably in excess of the usual figure for this time of the year, It is pointed out, however, that seizures of equipment increase during the spring months when fish take to shallower water to spawn. Most of the illegal fishing has been in connection with pickerel, pike and muskies. The equipment seized has been mainly tackle, spears, nets and jack lights. * $8 In honor of the first anniversary of the birth of the Dionne quintuplets, the week of May 28th will be *"Adopt-a-Child Week", according to an announcement from Hon.

Questioned following the announcement, Premier Hepburn admittedsthat the committee will, in addition to studyng costs in regatd to maintaining separate schools, go into the question of allocation by municipalities of corporation or other taxes as between public and separate schools. The separate schools tax aroused considerable controversy throughout the Province, and speculation has been rife as to whether or not the present Gov- ernment would introduce legislation in favour of the separate school supporters. It has been freely hinted that such legisla- tion may be introduced at the special fall session of the Ontario Legislature. * . ®t 20 0 Transcript of proceedings in a damage suit. ¥ Lawyer--Doctor, in popular language, please tell the jury the cause of the pdtient's death.

Agricultural Fairs Recently the Fairs Association met in Toronto, and Hon, Duncan Marshall, Minister of Agriculture, took advantage of the occasion to make some pointed remarks as to the conduct of Fall "airs, Chief among the points he made was regarding Trials of Speed, and their relation to Fall Fairs. He made it quite clear that he fully understood the purpose of these Trials of Speed. He issued this warning--anyv Fair that pays Trials of Speed prizes in full, and only pays a percentage on the other prizes, will be liable to lose "the Government grant. Much the same attitude was taken by Mr. Marshall in reference to undue prominence being-given to the '"'midway."" Encouragement of good farming and well kept homes is the purpose of the Fall Fairs, and unless the attractions contributed in some way in carrying out this purpose, they should not be allowed to become the dominant factor in the Fair that they do in some cases. Mr. Marshall stressed the value of encouraging home talent. The local ball teams should be the star attraction at the Fair. Calf races, tug-o'-war, horse: shoe pitching, and similar sporting contests were com- mended. It was also suggested that consolation prizes be offered instead of the "Specials'"' which go in most cases to the persons who already have their full share of prizes. Two other suggestions were made by the Minister of Agriculture. The first was that an attempt be made to have an exhibit of "antiques" in connection with the Fair, An exhibit of this kind stimulates a great deal of interest in the Fair, This was evident at Toronto Exhibition when and old-time display was made, The second suggestion was not directly concerned "with the Fair. It was that an efficient seed cleaning outfit be established in the community. It is easy to see that proper local seed cleaning would mean much to the farming community. : * x % Two dates should be remembered in connection with the Port Perry, Reach and Scugog' Agricultural Society. 1.

The tables were prettily decorated with flowers and candles and in the centre of the head tuble stood the Birthday cake with its twenty tiny pink candles. Those who sat al this table were: The Distriét President, Mrs. Foster Ferguson, the President, Mrs. Clarence Marlow, the Past Honorary Presidents antl Presi. dents, the Seerctary-Treasu®r, Mrs. N. Mountjoy and the past Secretary- Treasurer, also the invited guests in- cluding Rev. Mrs. Bell, Rev. Mrs. Harcourt and the members of the Shirley Branch. At the end of the Banquet, the President, Mrs. Clarence Marlow as a very pleasing and cap- able Mistress of Ceremonies pre- sented the following program--s paper on "The Mother Institute" by Mrs. T. Smith. This first Institute was organized at Stoney Creek on February 20th, 1807, thirty-eight years ago. Since then it has become both Dominion and World wide with its branches and members numbering in the thousands. Mrs, Arthur Van- Camp then gave an account of the V. W. IL, the local branch, from the time it severed it connection with the Shirley Branch up until the present. It was a most glowing report and re- flected great credit on the part of the members for the splendid work they accomplished particularly during the Great War, when along with other patriotic work, they sent Overseas over 1000 pairs of hand-knit socks. Mrs. Frank Stinson at whose home the V. W. I. was organized was pleased 'to state that it was through no ill feeling that the people of Cart- wright wished to separate from the Shirley Branch but because it was felt that a branch in their own Town- ship would mean more and betfer work. There always has been and always will be a very warm feeling between the two branches. Mrs, J. Graham and Mrs. E, Darcy of Shirley spoke briefly but in a very interesting way of the Institute when their branch was first organized and how the members used to plan their work «/I'Home" in Toronto and to the Con.' so as always to be able to be present at the meetings. Letters were road from Mrs. J. H. Freeborn, the first President of the V. W. I. and from Mrs. John Byers, the first Secretary- Treasurer, who were unable to be present. Miss Norma Hooey favored with a violin solo accompanied by Miss Evelyn Sanderson on the piano. Mrs. Bell gave a reading "Stubbed His Toe", Mrs, Jabez Wright played a piano solo, "A Chapel in od Mountains", a humorous reading was given by Miss Jean Wright and Rev. Mrs. Harcourt expressed a few well chosen and timely words on "Peace". She said before we could have world Peace we must first have peace in our own hearts, in our homes, and in our community life. The candles on the Birthday Cake were lighted by the President and ex-Presidents ahd in the absence of Mrs. J. H. Freeborn and Mrs. Herman Hooey (the only two unable to be present) by the District President Mrs. Ferguson.

"The Roll Call was answered with the membership fee for the coming year. A donation was voted to the "Victor vention Fund. Mrs. Foster Ferguson the District President, presided fo the election of officers. Mrs. Robt. Mahood, convener of the Nominating Committee, moved, and it was second- ed and unamiously carried, that Re same officers be returned to office for the coming year, viz: President, Mrs. Clarence Marlow; 1st Vice-President, Mrs. Cecil Ferguson; 2nd Vice-Presi- dent Mrs. A. L. Bailey; Sec.-Treas., Mrs. Norman Mountjoy; District Di- rector. Mrs. Russell Mountjoy. A number from here atended the funeral at Ballyduft on Friday aftgp- noon, May 3rd, of the late Mrs. Wm. Patton, who passed away at her home in Toronto, on Wednesday, May 1st, Deceased was born in Ballyduff and spent her life there until her mar- riage to Mr. Patton, when they moved on a farm just west of Blackstock, later selling their farm and moving to the village where they were splen- did citizens and very popular and successful storekeepers for ten years. The funeral service was held in Bally- duff Presbyterian Church where the late Mrs. Patton was organist for a number of years before her marriage, and where one of her surviving brothers has takén her place ever since. The service was in charge of the pastor of the church, Rev. Mr. Walker, assisted by a former pastor of the deceased, Rev. Mr. Bick, 'who paid a high tribute to her christian character and moral worth. During the service Mr. Eber Preston sang a beautiful solo, "Remember Me by What I've Done."

C. Nasmith, Esq., Clerk, Village of Port Perry. My Dear Sir,- With reference to my letter of April 24th,-1 note that the question contained in the petition is in the fol- lowing words: "Are you in favour of authorities being issued for the sale of beer only in authorized premises under the Liquor Control Act?" I beg to point out to you that if a vote is taken on this question and a favourable answer is obtained, the Board would have no jurisdietion to issue authorities for the sale of beer in Standard Hotels. In order to obtain this end, the fol- lowing question is the one the peti- tioners should have requested the Council to submit: "Ave you in favour of authorities being issued for Standard Hotels wherein beer or wine may be sold under the Liquor Control Act?" If a vote is taken on the question containéd in the petition and a favor- able result is obtained, the Board would have jurisdiction to issue authorities for clubs only. If the petitioners request a vote on the question regarding the issuing of petition must be obtained, and since authorities for Standard Hotels 8 new EN L's te! i LICH 1:1 4 44 'the recent Amendment to the Liquor Control Act at the last Session of the Legislature, the following is the proper question to be submitted: "Are you in favour of the sale of beer and wine under the provisions ot the Liquor Control Act?"

Good service is attracting an in- creasingly large number of customers to the Lake Scugog Mill. Mr. Wari- del has provid himself to be a master of his business, and has gained the confidence of the farming community. A mill such as is now being operatea by Mr. Waridel is a real asset to the community; and there is good sense in taking business to this concern even though there may be no im- mediate "inoney saving. Once the business is firmly established, there is no doubt that Mr. Waridel will be able to successfully compete in the market and give the best possible values. It is a distinct advantage to be able to buy at home, where there is fully assurance of honest values . and fair treatment. Co-operation will help greatly and the Lake Scugog Milling Company deserves every support. . THOU SHALT NOT KILL! TERETE TA teem in which she was held.
