The trial of J. P. Johnstone. Toron-

Bytes, both charged wRh conspiracy
and fraudulent conversion of funds of
the now defunct Consolidated Cream-
• erten, Ltd., opened Monday before
Judge Costello. The case is being Dro-
secured by Crown Attorney Dudley
Holmes. -
The atteestl misapproprietfon of
funds, amounting to $100,000 from
stock sold in Western Ontario, has
given rise to eight separate charges.
T • case will to all probability drag
out until the end of the week, there
being fifteen witnesses, of whom only
six have so tar been examined.
Mr. R. A. Treleaven, vice-president
and director of the Coasoldated Cream-
eries, Ltd., and proprietor of the High -
Land Creamery In Palmerston, was on
the witness stand for five hours on

What A 'Difference!
Mr. J. B. Reynolds, now gov-
ernor of tie county jail, but
formerly aranager of the Huron
County Hasse, gives some figures
illustrating the startling differ-
ence bettween present hog prices
and those of a little more than
a decade ago. Hog-ralstng has
been a pre/table sideline at the
County Home, and Mr. Reynolds
recalls that In 1921, when he was
the manager there, he took out a
load of tea bogs, for which he
received $24.65 per cwt., making
the neat sum of $719 for the
load. If he had wafted two
weeks longer he would have gut
$23.25 per cwt.
At the present price, $3.50 Der
cwt., the same hogs would have
brought about 3100.
