On, informationlaid by License Inspector Torrance Evans was brqught before Magistrates Jos, Hawkins and W. D. Sanders for trial, The evidence showed that defend-, ant had bought two gallons of wine he St, Marys and sold it to customers after. diluting it one-quarter with warm water. A sample of the wine was not produced as the inspector could find none about the premises, However ,the facts were proven that defendant had kept the wine in a local option territory, that he had dil- uted it before sal; and that boys had become drunk or partially so after drinking it, and this was all that was necessary to ensure conviction, and the magistrates imposed the smallest fine the law allows for the offence. -$100 and costs, payable in five days or in default of payment 3 months 1 jail L. H. Dickson prosecuted, and J G. Stanbury defended. SERIOUS INCREASE IN DRUNK- ENNESS. The area of "dr" districts may be steadily widening in Ontario, but the ominous fact remains that drunken- ness is 'becoming yearly more pre- valent in the Province of Ontario. The 19 13 report on the administration of the License Act records an in- crease in commitmedts to jail for drunkenness nearly twice as large as in any year as far back as the records go During 1913 there were 8,363 commitments, an increase of 1,750. Since 1906 the number of "drunks" whose -condition landed them in jail has more than doubled, and the rate of increase each year has been larger than, the previous one. The .amount Talc' to municipalities during the license year 1912-1913 was $339,459 and the province received $414,816 During the past year the fines col- lected amounted to $37,433 in licensed areas and in, local option districts to s $14,764 • EXETER PUBLIC SCHOOL RE- PORT FOR FEBRUARY.

The Farmers' Institute meeting held in the Town Hall on Saturday after- noon last was fairly well attended, and proved of much interest and profit to the farmers present. Addresses were delivered by F. M. Johnston of Bos - tors on "Corn aid the Silo," R. Mur- phy of Alliston on "Soil Problems," Alex, Mustard of Brucefield on 'Al- tai:a The Secretary informs us that there are many farmers Who are aot members of the Institute, although the membership fee is only. 25 cents a sfear. There are many expenses that must be met and we believe all farm- ers should become members ter this smali fee and help the work Along. see SHAREHOLDERS GET NOTHING.

This period is coincident with the annual period of maximum electric and magnetic unrest, growing out of the peculiar relation of the earth's magnetic pole to the sun. The more is also in opposition to earth ane sur and at an eclipse node on the llth and on.the celestial equator and in perigee on the 12th. 'Phenom- enal manifestitations of natural, free electricity and magnetism, in way of earth -currents, aroral lights, magnetic perturbations, thunder storms and earthquakes, are among the probable things to expect each year, within a period of about 15 days, taking ear- ce the 11th at the central day of the period eeagnetic instruments,electri- cal machinery, and telegraphic A ppli- aaces are often incommoded and dis- abled by pherenninal excess of Ihese forces at this March period, A. max- imum of such disturbances is prob- able at this period. Along with these phersomena, we venture to admonish the public that wicked equinoctial storm. are reasonably probable, on ano touching Wefnesday, Thursday and Faiday, the llth, 12th and 13th. The general disturbances will follow the Jew of, storms, that is, develop.in westere regions and pass over the country progressively from west to east followed immedihtely on the west by ,bige- barometer and change to un- uniaf13 cold for this time .of year, Next Monday a petition containing 50,000 signatures will be presented to the city council of Montreal praying that they take steps to compel the IVIoetreal Tramways Co. to. provide accommodation for smokers on their Crediton The high wind on Sunday equalled the gale of last November.
