OBJECTIONS ARE
BEARING FRUIT
With a view to economizing in the
cost of the administration of justice,
of which complaint has been •made in
Hurn County, Magistrate Reid last
week conunitted Norman •Wilson, al -
leered forger, for trial at the June
sessions. So far, .there are no crim-
inal cases set down for trial at the
Spring Assizes in Febreary, and an
attempt is being made to keep the
sheet clean and avoid the expenses
of calling jutors.
It will be remembered that at the
December session of the County
Council W. Henderson, then reeve
of Morris, started an agitation for re-
duction in the costs of administrat-
ing justice. And although he was de-
feated at the last municipal elections,
he has comfort in the knowledge that
hi$ efforts are now bearing fruit, and
which will result in a great saving

SEE HIS SHADOW
Tuesday, Feb, 2nd, was the day for
the bear or the grotindhog to come
forth to determine the weather for
th p next six weeke, by the age old
tradition of whether or not he can
see his shadow.
"If Candlemas Day be dry or fair
The halt o' winter's to come and
11101 1',
If Candlemas bay be wet and foul,
The half of winter's gene at Yule."
So read e an old Scottish ballad
sling on February's second day. Mod-
erns are saying that this year doesn't
coent. They are saying that this,
year's weather is a puzzle anyway
and the mystery of the bear's shad-
ow is not going to throw any Bahl

while in his company, and it is with
much regret that the citizens of

and family, and still it gives a great
deal of satisfaction to know that his

The fact that he is being given such
a splendid charge in Brantford., is
most gratifying.
