Two patrons of the Mornington & Elma cheese factory appeared before Police Magistrate Trim on Saturday last charged with skimming -- their milk. Both pleaded guilty and were each fined $20 and costs. A foundationless report has been circulated in this vicinity about cer- tain patrons of the Monkton cheese factory alleging that they had "doc- tored" their milk. There appears to be no foundation whatever for the repont as the cheesemaker states that the quality of their mild was never questioned. Reports of this mature are injurious as well as malicious and the parties circulating them should be brought to task.

If so, winter must be already camping at Vaneouver's doors. and it is in vain that we have been hugging the fond 'delusion that the dreary unwelcome | days are at least sixty} days distant from the present time. It is true that of old our forefath- ers pinned their faith to the weath- erwise ingtincts guiding the migrat- ory course of the wild geese, and took seasonable precautions thereby In pioneer days 'they were mever known to make a false forecast. and their movements were quoted as fin- al authority in, things meteorolog- ioal. But times are constantly chang- ing and weather conditions also. We live in an age when superstition is on the wane and scientific figures and data are replacing natural phe- momenma. The wild goose. like man- kind. may feel the subtle influence of ever-varying temperature and temperamental conditions. and where he once thought to find sum- mer may find winter reigning. and spaces once delightful may have lost their charm for him. Winter did come early to Van- couver a few years ago. but was ey- idemtly frightened at its own temer- ity amd took a sudden departure be- fore Christmas. leaving .the citizens wo the enjoyment of sunny skies and green foliage for the rest of the Michae!mas year.
