HURON' COUNTY HIGHLY SATIS-
FACTORY ENFORCEMENT
OF O.T.A,
Mr. W. S. Dinglnan, vice chairman
of the Board of License Commission-
ers, was in town last week and in
company with Provincial Officer Pel-
low, made two 80 -mile trips through
,the county, visiting the hotels and
calling on doctors and druggists. One
trip was made to the north on Thurs-
'day and the •other to the south on
Friday: This is the first visit by any
member
of the commission to this
county since it was under the 0, T.A.
and Mr. Dignan reports thatthe law
enforcement is very good and ,much
to the credit of Mr. Bellow whom he
regards as one of the best .officers
the Province. Huron county, he
says, ,is one of the most satisfactory
for law enforcement; of 45 convic-
tions for drunkenness only three or.
four came before the courts a second
time, showing that the enforcement
of the law as carried out in this coun-
ty is corrective rather than punitive.

WINS CHAMPIONSHIP AT
GUELPH WITH HOGS
Mr, G W ';Miners is again to• the
front with his Yorkshire hogs. He
won the coveted' prize at the Guelph
fair, a sow belonging to hire carry-
ing off the championship. Mr.: Min-
ers had fifteen hogs" on exhibition at:.
the winter fair, Ixi the. -bacon class
he 'carried off`second prize for dres-
sed hog and fifth for live' hog in a
class of 18. - In the class under six
nx'onths he won . first and second in
ti very large entry. He also won 5th
place for three best hogs of one lit-
ter. To carry off so many prizes at

had on exhibition at fancy prices.
He is keeping the champion hog for
breeding. The Times wishes him
continued success.
