SEAT ON HURON BENCH Roy Metcalfe of Seaford% Honourably Acquitted. Huron County court and peace aces - ion opened with five cases on the dock- et A8 this sitting is the first court for Judge Dickson, Crown Attorney Seag- er, the oldest member of the bar, took occasion to congratulate JudgoDickson on his appointment to the position, and referred to the feeling of confid- ence which, he shared with other mem- bers of the profession that he would uphold the best traditions of the beneb.. Judge Dickson replied is a few words, saying that he felt undeserving of the kind words expressed, Be would en- deavour to overrule justice with mercy whenevereircumstauces would juetify, The grand jury, in submitting their report, also congratulated Judge Dick• son on his being appointed to the pos. ition, The jury reported finding the county buildings in excellent shape, and only one prisoner in jail on a min- or charge. The second case palled was that of Roy Metcalfe on a charge of arson. al- leged to have .been committed in Afay, 1015, at Seaforth. As only circum- stantial evidence was given, the judge took the case out of the jury's hands and honourably acquitted the young man. ",, A suit for damages of $500, claimed by Duncan. of Bayfield, from Decker, of that place. Some 30 witnesses have to be called. Judge Bolt is sitting on the case, as Judge Dickson was inter- ested in the case before hie appoint- ment. The suit is a result of an accid- ent at the Bayfield fair races last Oct- ober. The plaintiff, whe was driving in the race, claimed that the defendant drove in front of him, causing a collis- ion. A MAID U T IN CHINA. Big Field for Canadian Flour is Non Opening Up. • For centuries China has stood a: the head of the rice -eating nations. Rice is still the Chinese staff of life; but in several parts of the empire the people are leaning less and less upon this staff. In those parts the Chinese are taking up the staple food of the West. They are becoming wheat eat- ers. That is of interest to Canada because Canada has wheat to sell; and the Chinese are now buying Rome wheat, Some interesting information re- specting wheat cultivation in China, flour milling there, and the flout trade in China is contained in a. 're- port of J. W, Ross, Canadian Trade Jomrnissionel', writing from Shang- 'lat. He points out that the cultivation if wheat and the milling and the ;onsunlption of flour have greatly increased in China in recent years. The establishment of flour mills in \Iauchuria and at Shanghai and at ether points of Central China, writes the Trade Commissioner, "is ample proof of the growing importance of thio indaytry. The northern prov- inces have for many years depended upon wheat, beans, and other cereals •and grain, as their staple food sup- ply; and there Is evidence to .show that this custom is extending to all portions of the Empire, and southern provinces. For many generations the latter sections have depended almost exclusively upon rice as the• diet of the people, but they are now consum- ing large quantities of both native and foreign wheat flour," It is in China's imports of flour that Canada is at present chiefly in- terested, The returns show that the Chinese consumption of foreign flour is subject to great fluctuation. For instance, in 1907 it was a little more than three million barrels, but tw: years later it fell to less than half a million. Then it went up again, and in 1914, the year in which the war began, it amounted to one and a half million barrels. Fully one half came . from the 13ritish possession of Hong Kong. Four hundred and thirty-one thousand barrels came from the United States; 231,300 barrels from Japan; and only 15,104 barrels from Canada -- comparatively a small quantity but three times as much an Canada sent two years before, and some of the flour that went into China proper from Hong Kong, Pour hundred and thirty-one thousand barrels came from -the United States; 231,300 barrels from Japan; and only 15,104 barrels from Canada— comparatively a small quantity but three times as much as Canada sent two years before, and some- of the dour that went into China proper fro a Hong Kong wag of Canadian origin, • In summing up, thee Trade Com- missioner writes: "As far as the present is concerned a comparatively small number of the inhabitants of China are able to buy foreign flour at war -time prices, On the other hand there must always be a demand for considerable gtlan- titles of foreign flour to satisfy the needs of the foreign population as well as the more wealthy Chinese, and the nearer the foreign article ap- proaches the native product in priee to that extent will be determined the amount of the former imported into the Chinese market."
