He was such a friendly pup that be instantly became a favorite emong the boys,. When the dog‘s master, however, found that Towser had forsaken the ways of perace and joined the soldiers, he came after the dog and took him back with bhim, This didn‘t please the soldier lads one little bit thougb, and the farmer was a<ked to name the price he would take for the dog. Ten dollars was the amount he asked and a coliection was at once taken up, the required amount subscribed and Towser became the property of tirey County‘s warriors.

The judge after hearing the circumâ€" stances, allowed Mighton to go on susâ€" pended sentence for two years on the assault charge and during that time, he is to keep away from his wife. The prisoner professed great penitence and promised to trouble his wife no more. On the charge of escaping from custody, he was given forty deys in the common Thomas M. Mighton, the Durham wifeâ€"beater, who was brought to Owen Sound last week by High Constable Robert Cook, after having eluded the arm of the law for two years, was tried before Judge Sutherland at the Court House Monday on two charges, one the original charge of assaulting and beating his wife in August, 1913, and the other for eseaping from eustody while being brought from the West to stand his trial in November, 1913. On the first charge, he was given suspended sentence for two years and on the secâ€" ond, forty days in the common gaol. It will be remembered that Mighton was first charged with assaulting his wife in August, 1913. but he managed to elude the ofticers of the law and skipped to the West. He was later arrested there and was being brought from Winnipeg by Constable Cook, of Ceylon, to stand his trial, when he caught the officer napping, managed to unlock his handâ€" eutffs and jumped from the moving train somewhere in the wilds of the Rainy River District. No more was heard of him until recently when he got into a mixâ€"up in Detroit and was arrested. As his name tallied with that of a man who was wanted by the Canadian police, Mighton admitted his identity. The Detroit authorities notified Constable Cook, who went after him. The latter preferred to take his chances on Canaâ€" dian justice and came over voluntarily. At the tria! yesterday, Mighton pleaded guilty on both charges. After a consujtâ€" ation with his wife as to the possible chance of a renewal of marital relations relations between the two, the Crown decided to accept the plea of guilty.

A mâ€"eting of the pub. lishers in the countres of Huron and Perth is to be neld shortly in Stratâ€" ford to consider the question of the adyisability of raising the subscription price of weeklics in these counties, and if the $1,.50 a year rate should be decided on it should haye the approvâ€" al and support of the public at large, (Goderich Sta1) At a meeting of the Perth and Hurâ€" on counties section of the Canadian Press Association held in Goderich reâ€" centiv, the main topic of discussion was the proposal uo increase the subâ€" scription price of weekly papers in these counties. A peculiarity of the newspaper business is that it give> the public something for nothing, so _ much so, that publishers of daily papâ€" } ers, which duriog the war have issued numetrous extras, have found that they are losing money, and the more extras they issued the more they lost, because the price for which the piper sells pays for only a fraction of the cost of producing it. The cost of maâ€" terial and labor has yery largely inâ€" creased in the last few years and the quesiion of increasing the subseripâ€" uon price of weekly papers to $1,50 is a live one. Many of our dailies have advauced their subscription terms on account of increased expenses and it looks as if the weeklies may have to follow suit. In Bruce county the $1.50 rate is being brought into effect and certainly, taking the increased expenâ€" ses of a good weekiy paper into counâ€" sideration, $1.50 is none too much. There is no institution which does so much for a community as the press, and sometimes some people would like eyen to add to its fanctions, makâ€" | ing It, in effect, letective, constable, magistrate and moral reformer, ail free of reward, but should there be any loss of reyenue from any stand a paper may take, these same people are quite willing that the paper should bear the burden, In all patriotic, philâ€" anthropic and progressive moyements a newspaper is expected to, and does, give & large amoun* of publicity withâ€" out charge. _A careful computation by one publisher gives the cost of proâ€" ducing his paper a> $1.72 a year, and Constable Arrowsmith in the disâ€" charge of his duty on Tuesday night last, saw a buggy entering the Habn House stables under suspicious cirâ€" cumstances, He followed, but before reaching the stable the doors wer» shut in his face. He demandef adâ€" mittance but was refused and could hear the chink of bottles inside. Apâ€" plying hls strength to the door be succeeded in pulling it ajar far enough to equeeze his body in and found there the son of the proprietor and a young man naraed Bauer, The eonâ€" stable gathered in from the buggy and elsewhere a quantity of beer and no fewer than 36 boitlee of Gooderâ€" ham‘s whiskey. _ With the aid of Mr. Jas Lloyd, who was passing on his way home from night work at the factory, the stuil was taken to the constable‘s residence and no doubt there will be a sequel to the daring and glaring viola.ion of the law. The action of the constable under the cirâ€" cumstances was as courageous as it was jadicious and adds once more to vhe testimoay that the town dida‘ wise thing in appo‘lnting him to thei position, _ We haye a Becket of our own. i } On Friday evening the above gentleâ€" men will address the citizens of Durâ€" ham along patriotic lines with a doubâ€" le purpose : to stimulate recruiting aud to initiate a movement fora more substantial contribution to patâ€" riotic funds than has yet been given from Durham. As we stated two weeks ago the contribution by the town of $500 was eatirely inadequate to represent this community. It was well enough in its way but instead of $500 this time, $5000 will be aimed at, the whole ccmmunity uniting in a big effort to render substantial aid where most needed.
