We Know Something Ahput
It Too
The Toronto Qlobe says: "An ef-
fort is being made to protect market
• gardeners in the neighborhood of
Toronto from the depredations of
• thieves who have been carrying off
their products. In Estobicoke town-
ship 'police cars and local vigilantes,
working in co-operation, have check-
ed the activities of night prowlers."
° While the numerous market gar-
dens adjacent to Toronto provide a
much larger field for operation, on
the part of thieves, as well as the
city providing a much greater num-
ber of them, the thieving campaign
is not by any means confined to the
• city and its 'adjoining farms.
• We in the country know something
about it too. In fact, we know far
too much about it, and what is, worse,
,Fe are learning more about it every
year,
Arid as the scattered farms in the
country can not hope to secure even
a semblance of police protection, the
farmer is practically at the mercy of
the travelling thief. And many of
*them travel from Toronto and other
cities.
• Farm after farm has been stripped
of its. poultry. Not once, but in,
many- dateS, two 'and" three And the the field is widening all the
•time.
• It is so easy to slip up a concession
road almost any time after dark in
a car or truck, and pilfer a farmer's
• barn or hen house. And the thieves
• have, become so proficient- that no
preventative measures that the farm-
ers can take, seem to make any dif-
ference. The poultry are in their
houses at night, and in the morning
they are gone.
The situation has passed the an-
noying stage and has reached the
place where losses to farmers, in
many instances, have become crip-
pling. It is a mean business, but ap-
parently it is a very profitable one
for the thief, and as long as he con-
tinues to profit, he will continue to
operate.

• What Would We Do Without
The m ?
On Friday afternoon of last week
three telephone exchanges in down
town Toronto went out of commis-
sion for nearly an hour. Fortnnate-
• ly it was near the close of the busi-
ness day and although it was the first
occurrence of such a nature in years,
that did, not prevent a great dea4 of
• cdmment and gave cause to a great
deal of wonder too.
.„And the wonder of the Toronto
• people was, what would they do
without the phone?
• Well, up 'here we are not Toronto,
or even a part of it, even if that city
• has enjoyed a large expansion. But
it makes us wonder quite a -bit, too,
what we would do 'without the tele-
phene.
How would we get our meat, and
our packet of pins and our pound of
butter; if we r couldn't • phone for
them ? -
Walk down town and get . them?
Well, perhaps. And Again, perhaps
• not, voils ki.inger Anted.

•_ Perhaps we might learn to walk' a
little again. 'Perhaps we might get
a little More work done. And by we,
we mean the women, of course.
Perhaps we might even learn to
live a little more economically, It is
so easy to order over the phone, and
so hard to walk up to the counter
and plank down the money. At least
you think twice before you do it any-
way.
But while we could wonder over
- the-possilsilittes, Stich a Situa
would create for a whole day, we are
not going to do it. It wasn't our
phones that went out.
But if it had been, no doubt we
• would do about the same thing that
inost of the Toronto people did. We
• would raise one big kick and keep on
kicking about the bum telephone
• company, only we would do it better
and faster than the Toronto people
did, because we know exactly where
the telephone exchange is, and we
wouldn't have so far to go.

A County Museum
In a recent editorial the Brockville
Recorder and Times urges the need
of a museum for the„ county of which
that place is the county town, and
says in part: "Although representa-
tives of the Women's Institute and
other interested organizations have
been urging for a number of years
that steps should be taken to estab-
lish a Leeds County 1Viuseum for the
housing of documents and relies
which, are fast disappearing, there
has been no response on the part of
any individual or institution."
"It ought to be possible for funds
to be raised with whicli to place
Brockville in possession of such an
institution where many valuable art-
icles which are,now going to the junk
heap or elsewhere, might be preserv-
ed for the benefit of the present and
• future generations.• "
The comment of the Brockville
paper is exceedingly timely, and ap-
pliesequally to our own County of
Huron, as it does to the County of
Leeds, or any other county in the old
• Province of Ontario.
• In fact, there are few counties in
the Province that has, or did have,
at one time, more objects of Maori-
eallnierest and value than has the
,County of Huron.
• Huron County was populated by
• the Indians long before the white
man made his appearance, and many
relics that tell of Indian life and cus-
toms have been left behind by the
Redmen.
They are still many of them in the
district, and they could be .brought
to -light if any concerted effort was
made to locate them. Many, of
course, have already found their way
to the junk heap or have been taken
° elsewhere by interested persdns who
kn w their historical value, but
t ere are many left, and before it is
too late they should be' located and
kept as museum 'pieces. They, are
valuable to -day and in future years
they may easily become invaluable.
But aside altogether from the Red
man, there are many reasons why
this county might be called crimin-
ally negligent in its failure to pro -
:vide a permanent home for its trea-
sures and utilities of other days,
which to -day are treasures indeed.
, There are few parts of Ointario
which, when they were opened for
settlement in the last century, that
. attracted as great attention or acted
,at the magnet in drawing as super -
for a class of pioneer residents, as
did the district that now 'comprises
Huron.
Our foundation was laid in the
•Old Land. England, Ireland and
Scotland gave of their best. True,
many were not rich in this world's
goods, but the most of them were
in education, in independence
and in the knowledge of government,
-both moral and physical.
And not a few possessed consider-
able means. All possessed some, and
all brought material things, which
though they may have been common
,enough in their day, have become in
our day museum pieces, rich in his-
torical and educational value far be-
yond their purchase price.
, The present generation has its op-
portunity now. The coming genera -
,tions will never have as great an,op-
portunity,but they will come to re-
alize and resent our indifference and
our failure, if we do net at now.

uggard Sentence •
1THE CASE OF HUGGARD
(Toronto Daily Star)
The three-year sentence on Rug -
gait of Seaforth is to date from the
'day Of the- lawyer's arrest: Why is
!this? Why not, as well, date his
three years from that fine day irt
tspRieg When he fleet- began- ty steal -
the fun.ds • entrusted to him? No
doubt Mr. •Huggard is a nice fells*
ancl ,other lawyers like ,laem, het how
does the sentence iml4osed oa him
compare with some others?
We have seen two men sent to the
penitentiary for ten years and each
to receive lashes for having made a
sixty dollar holdup, and now we see
Huggard get three years for having
got away with $150,000' entrusted to
his keeping.
We do not know Huggard and we
have nothing againsthimeand our be-
lief is that the sentences that have
been imposed in the last sewn years
on all kinds of offenders have been
quite too severe. If you send ,a man
down for fifteen years you send Ulm
*down for fifty. After fteen years
you will not get back a man worth
having.
When one considers the extent of
Huggard's thefts with -those of
others one finds that he gets three
years for doing ten times as much
thieving as earned other men ten or
fifteen years in prison.
One does not object . to the sent-
ence on Iluggard. It will probably be
sufficient. But the judges of Ontario
have been indulging in an orgy of
heavy sentences. They have been
sending men down for ten, twelve and
fourteen years. There is, we think,
no sense in such sentences. Are we,
therefore, to assume that the com-
paratively mild sentence imposed on
Huggard means that our judges have
relented?
One day ,last week at Mr: J. Mc-
Cully's threshing in Stanley, a series
of accidents occurred. Mr. H. Thomp-

"HUGGARD IS LUCKY
• (Stratford Beacon-Renald).
There are times when it is very dif-
ficult to agree with a judge. One
such occasion presented itself in God-
erich on Saturday when Judge T. M.
COStello, of the' Huron County Court.
imposed! a sentence of 'three years in
kingston penitentiary upon John J.
Huggard, Seaforth lawyer, who }tad
pleaded guilty to a series of charges
involving the theft of more than
4150,000 in Sectiritles, the property of
persons who had placed thern in safe-
ty deposit bosee enteested to.
of Huggard. .
There is no doubt about Huggard's
gnilt. He admitted'that he lead stolen
upwards of $150,000. in securities,
thefts which represented in some cas-
es the life savinga of.the victims, The
cruel fact of poverty tai descended
on some homes through the • acts of
Huggard, yet he escaas with a sent;
ence of only three years In the peni-
tentiary. There will be many who
will feel that Huggard has fared too
well.
Judge Costello, in delivering sent-
ence, was reported to have said to
the prisoner:
"I know your counsel is right
when he says a man lof your sta-
tion and standing in. the commun-
ity...has been punished sufficient-
ly in his own, mind. If it were
not for the exemplary punisii-
ment which the law demands, I
would let you go tree on suspend-
ded, sentence and I hope 1 am not
doingwrong in imposing a sent-
ence of three years to date from •
the time of your arrest. I have
to commend you on the assist-
ance you have given the Crown
and I must also commend you up-
on the qualities you have shown."
We have read over this statement
many times and we can find very lit-
tle fn it to . heighten reapect for the
courts. It comes very close to being
an apology to ehe man who stole and'
wasted $150,000 worth of other peo-
ple's savings.
Moreover, 1 such a delivefance
from the bench an effective warning
to 'others who may contemplatemak-
ing secret raids on property entrust::
ed to them for safekeeping? Too
mary crimes of this sort have been
committed—too many of them right
in this district.
We cannot escape the conclusion
thatsympathy has far 'outweighed
"consideration of, the public interest.

Lesson Topic—Becoming a Chrisean.
Lesson Passage—Acts 16:22-34; Phil-
ippians 3:7-14. •
Golden Text—Acts 16:31.
Continuing his story, the writer ,,of
the Acts of the Apostles relates an
incident that stirred up opposition to
Paul and Silas: There was a female*
slaVe, the property of sortie orafty men
who by her traded on the simplicity.
of the people. She was possessed
with a spirit of divination. Whet
the nature of this spirit. was ,wo do
not now know. St. Paul addressed
tile spirit saying, "I charge thee in
the name of Jesus Christ to eerie out
of her.", And the spirit, we are told,
came out that very hour, leaving the.
girl's inner nature once more pure and
calm. This was the signal for a -riot.
The slave owners recognized that
their hopes of gain had flei. They'
seized Paul and Silas and h'alecl them
befOre tIle oilers and accused thern
of disturbing the peace ..of the city
and of teaching customs unlawfui for
etbemas_Romans to' receive. They
were given no chance evideutlY to
claim Roman citizenship as Paul did
on an another occasion when roughly
handled by a mob. The magistrates,
with their own hands, tore the clothes
from their backs and caused them at
once to be flogged and thrown into
prison. No ill-trlement could, how:
ever, destroy tha • secret source of
joy and peace which St. Paul possess-
ed in his' loved Master's conscious
ipresence. "I take pleasure in weak-
nesses, in injuries, in 'necessities, in
'persecutions, in distresses for Christ's
sake," is his own triumphant expres-
'slop when 'looking back a few years
Tater over the way by which the and
had led him. At midnight the aston-
ished prisoners heard the inner dun-
eonringing withsongs of praise
raised by the Jewish stranger. An
earthquake too, lent'its terrors to the
strange scene, shaking the 'prison to
Its foundation and loosing the staples
