lectures given the girls. There will
be 'special lectures in tnany subjects
such as poultry andbeekeeping, swine
and sheep marketing and others.
, These courses have been conducted
throughout the province for several
years and the fact that they are shift-
ed about in each county or district an-
nually gives wide scope to the num-
bers that may attend. The inapor-
tance of agricultural information and
educatien is readily realized and all
who can 'should withottt question ar-
range to attend'.

GODERICH WINS APPEAL
The town solicitor, Mr. D. E. Hol-
mes, was at Toronto before the Ap-
pellate Division of the Supreme Couct
arguing in the case of the National.
Sanitarium against the town of God-
erich. This was an action brought
by the National Sanitarium against
the town for the maintenance of an
indigent patient, who, it is claimed by
the sanitarium, resided in the town of
Goderich at the time of his admission
to the hospital . The patient came to
Goderich in the spring of 1923 with
his wife and family, taking up resi-
dence her; and remained here until
August of 1924, when he became too
ill to support himself or his family,. He
then left Goderich fax his father's
place in the township of Stanley, leav-
ing his wife and family with his moth-
er-in-law, who resides in Goderich. He
remained in the township of Stanley
until the end of February, 1925, when
he returned to Goderich •and resided
with his wife in a house she had rent-
ed in the town. He stayed in Goder-
ich until the 8th of April ,1925, when
he was admitted to the hospital. The
case first carneebefore Judge Lewis,
who held that it was a question of in-
tention on the part of the patient
as to Where his residence would be,
and that, as he had expressed his in-
tention in August of 1924 of staying
with his father in Stanley township
for the short time he had to live, he
was not a resident of Goderich, and,
therefore, the town was not liable for
his maintenance. On the appeal it
was argued that, .no matter, wita.t his
intention in August of 1924, he chang-
ed his residence in February of 1925,
but the appeal, Court held that there
was no evidence of his intention to
change his residence permanently
from Stanley to Goderich and dismiss-
ed 'ie Sanitarium's appeal, upholding
the decision of His Honor Judge Lew-
is. The case means quite a ,saving to
the town of Goderich, as the patient is
likely to be in the Sanitarium for
some time and during this whole per-
iod would be a. burden on the town
for his maintenance-Goderich 'Star.
