The new slogan "Fight or Pay" is sometimes changed to the old one, `!You've either got to fish or cut „b'ait." Taking both as a text the ,Kingston Whig puts the caee .this .way : We've had a twelve month now of war, hut the end's not yet ie sight, and Ike challenge comes to every man - to either pay or -fight. It's not the time to hum and haw, or air your hobby whine—it's up to you to see just now that the British Tommy wins. It's not the time to count on gain, or to fatten up And purse, while your brothers light to rid the world from a war -mad ruler's curse. The man who stays sit home just now has gat to foot the bill, and it's just as well to do the thing with a cheery British will. The lean who leaves his home, his kin, who leaves behind his all, to put the khaki color on and heed h's country's call --lie's made a sacrifice that's real, and the man who stays at home has got to bear his burden here without a grouch or groan. It's not a day to count the cost or what the tax will he when the empire's fate hangs on the beam in this fight for liberty. When strong men march away to war, our fathers and our sons, to free a blighted Bel-. grunt from the curse wrought by the Hunk—we've to play the pad of men —it's . not the time to shake—we've got the' blood of Wellington, of Nel- son and of Drake. 'rue call's gone forth to every man, alike to small and great --if you can't go with the. fishermen „you'll have to cut the bait. So do your duty tomorrow. ' n Rendy- To-Wear Garments Hallett.

The Disposition of Troops, The following table shows approxi- mately the number of Canadian troops raised, their disposition, and where they are at present located: cd: Princess Patricia's Light In- fantry (in France) 1,000 First Contingent (front Val- cartier) (in France) 32,000 Second Contingent (in Brit- ain) 20,000 Reinforcements (1st and 2nd Contingents), in England and Trance) 22,000 38th Royal Ottawa (in Ber- muda) 1,100 Half Battalion (in St. Lucia) 500 Hospital, Medical, 'Veterinary, Engineers, etc. ,(Overseas) 5,000 Twelve Battalions (reinforce- ments) 15,000 34 Battalion (raised or being raised) (in Canada) 40,000 12 Batteries of Artillery (be- ing raised) (in Canada) 2,000 Six Regiments Mounted Men (raised) (in Canada) , , 3,000 Men on garrison duty and Home Service (in Canada) 10,000 Patricias Being Reorganized. Of the original Princess Patricia's Regiment, the first Canadian force to see fighting in France, less than 100 fighting men are left, However, the regiment is being reorganized and reinforcements are being sent at once which will bring this crack unit again up to strength. It may be explained in connection with the above table that at the time when it looked as if Turkey would Invade Egypt thirteen regiments of mounted rifles were 'raised in Can- ada, principally from the cowboys, plainsmen, and rough riders' of the West. When the threatened Turkish invasion came to naught and the fight with the Ottoman Empire developed. Into siege work at the DardaeeIles, the Mounted Rifles volunteered' to go to Flanders as dismounted cavalry. Seven regiments are already in Eng- land. She remain in Canada.

If'the British market - was closed to private owners, it would be just as effectively closed to the Canadian Government. The Gov- ernment overnment could no more market this wheat, in the face of a Russian glut of the British wheat market, than could the private parties now en- gaged in the business. "What do the western inen sug- gest?" Dr. Magill wanted to know, "Do they propose that Great Britain cease operations at the Dardanelles In order that Russian wheat will we - main bottled up In Russia? Do they expect that in order to save the Brit- ish market for Canadian wheat, Great Britain will withdraw her support from her Russian ally? "If they did do sucha thing, they would prejudice Russia's cause, and consequently their own cause. When examined closely, the Calgary sugges- tion appears thoughtless. GRAIN BLOCKADES NOT NOW POSSIBLE Western Canada has harvested the greatest crop _In its history. Ener- getic preparations have been made by the Government, the Grain Com mission, and the railways to handle this bumper crop, and it is expected, despite the size and the rush this fall, that it will be marketed without the blockade or the car congestion which was a perennial occurrence be- fore 1311. Speaking of the crop con- ditions as affecting Canada, Dr. Magill, chairman of the Grain Com- mission, says there was never a time in the history of the West when things were more ready for the suc- cessful handling of the big crop. "This year," he said, "the grain commission has in service three big storage elevators for emergency pur- poses, These elevators are located at Calgary, Moose Jaw, and Saska- toon, and together can take care of 10,600,000 bushels of grain, "ren million bushels i els does not seem to be much when one thinks of the big crop," the Commissioner ex- plained, "but with such a margin of insurance, we are amply protected against loss by a blockade." He went on to show how 42,000,- 000 bushels could be taken care of at the head of the Iakes; 30,000,000 bushels can be stored in Eastern Can- ada, while 70,000,000 bushels or more is the capacity of the line ele- vators. Adding to this the 10,000,- 000 bushels capacity of the three new elevators, 150,000,000 bushels are accounted for if a blockade eccurred right at the commencement of the season, which was almost impossible. The balance of the crop could easily be retained on the farms with- out hurt, and without piling a bushel of wheat on to the open. prairie, ALL EQUIPMENT FROM GOVERNMENT It has been brought to the atten- tion of the Department that units 'organised for overseas service are soliciting.subscriptions from the pub- lic for ,the purchase of articles of equipment, band instruments, and for the creation of a regimental fund, and it has been reported that some units have charged an admission fee to witness parades, etc., for a similar purpose. It should be borne in mind that units of the Overseas Forces are supplied by the Department with everything necessary for their equip= ment, and it should not be necessary to appeal to the public for assistance, especially as there are many objects. of a patriotic and philanthropic char- acter to which 'the Canadian public have contributed most liberally. The. practice above referred to does not commend itself to the Militia Council, and steps will be taken to prevent a continuance of the same, and no such thing as appeals for subscriptions will be permitted except by express permission obtained beforehand train the Militia Council. ' NEW REGIMENTS TO GO TO ENGLAND It has 'been decided to send to England as complete, units twelve ih Pantry battalions now in training in Canada. 'l.'we from the Maritime Provinces, one from Quebec. five from Ontario, two from Manifohn and Saskatchewan, and one each tram Alberta and British Columbia, On the arrival of these troops In Eng- land, Canada's overseas force will number about one hundred thousand.

Judgment or Judge Holt. In he mat ler of a certain appeal from a conviction made by one, h. J. Andrews, Police Magistrate in and for the Town of Clinton in the Counit of iluron Whereas Thomas potter of the lowns(tp of 0oderich, in the said County is appellant and Joseph 'Wheatley of the said Town of Clinton is Respondent, 'rhe' appellant was upon the fifth day of March, .1915, convicted by the said S. J.

The, appeal was beard before' me at the Sittings of the above Court held 'upon the nth day of Jule instant. Under R.S.O., 1011 Cap. 192, Sec. 399 Sub -sec. 37, s, Municipal Corpor- ation may pass a Bylaw' ''For Regu- lating the delivery and exposure for sale upon a highway or in a market or public ,place of neat, poltiitry, game, nesif, fish or fruit or the car- Gees of any animal" The Municipal Council of the Corporation of the Town of Clinton passed Bylaw num- ber 5 of 1914 for further safeguard- ing the Public Health. This Bylaw was proved at the hear- ing and was in full: force anis effect Upon the 27th day of February, 1015, 'anti amongst other things by clause one enacts as follows : No person shall expose for sato upon the street or elsewhere in the open air within the Town of Clinton any meet, beg- etables, fruit, or other article or commodity, intended for human food unless the same shall be covered in Such manner as. 'to protect it fcopu contamination by dust or other: allusive or deleterious teatter."• The appellant was convicted of a. violation sol tills clause in Bylaw No. Six and, lined as above. stated.

The word exposed may, have differ- ent meanings according to the eir- cumstances-of the different case's in, which it is used. In, each case one meet look to the surrounding. -circum- stances in -order to' ascertain what the word means. 'Iri the present ease, it must mean, as tufa Bylaw' express- es it, exposed in such a way I:ha't the article is liable to be contaminated by dust Cc,, &:c - See Crane v, Lawrence,, 25 le R. Q. B. D. page 152 (1800).' The evidence at the hearing clearly establishes that the meat was well and carefully covered -from the time the appellant left his farm in Coder- Township until the sale in Cline ton to Alexander aed than only was it uncovered whilst the purchaser examined it and 'then it was at once putt up in wrapping paper and taken away=, The Bylaw does not attempt to • absolutely prohibit the exposing , of meat for sale in the open air, all it does is to regulate the expc:ngi for: sale by providing .that the article must he covered in such manner as to protect it from contamination by dust Ac, I ant unable to see if I give effect to the Respondent's contention how there can be an exposure for sale if the article to he kept continuously covered, In tiris case when the al- leged offence book place the weather was very cold and there was a quan- tity of snow upon the ground and it seems to me that it would require a very- vivid invagination to come to the conclusion that this meat was not covered in such a planner as to protect it from contamination by• dust or other offensive or deleterious matter anti one must hear in mind that thin is all the Bt•law provides for, namely : that the meat or other article must be coveredin such a manner as to protect it from contam- ination by dust, Ac. I find on reading the information laid by the Respondent that the oaly offence chargee' 10 that the appellant exposed certain meat for sale upon the street or elsewhere in the open air within the Town of Clinton and the conviction is for exposing certain pleat for sale in the public street or eleewhere i the J n xe , c , air wit'" c, nwithin the Town n Clinton. t n It will, he observed thatat t, • _ Itx.
