THE WE'LL -KNOWN S'1'OCIC]VIAN,
Mr, James Snell was last week at-
tending a number of •agricultural and
stock meetings, and it goes without
saying that he took an active part
in most of them. While he is „inter-
ested inthree branches o -Stook
f to
raising, horses,cattle and sheep, his
specialty Is poesibiy the latter, and
there are few, if any, men in Ontario
who have a wider and more enviable
reputation as a breeder of thorobred
sheep, So well is he known in this
connection that he has been called
upon to act as judge at fairs from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, and it is
no figure of speech to say that he
almost spends more time away from
home than he does 'there. Ile is as
well known in the United States as
in his own Province, Such men are
not only a credit to the community,
but they acre -an asset of inestimable
value, because they add to the wealth
and prosperity of the country,
TOO MANY GAOLS..
There seems td -be a wide spread
idea an n county councils in On-
tario that a vast amount of money
is being wasted in keeping up gaols,
It atppeers that most of 'the, goals
in the province' are Practically empty,
t
r,
yet each county has to bear the full
cost of maintaining di` building and a
staff of officials.. At the last session
of the Huron county, council a reso-
lution was. passed instructing the
clerk to eomntimicate With all county
councils in the Province and also
with each local member with a view
to getting the Government to devise
a more economical method. Oxford
and outer counties are taking it up
and probably something definite will
be done: -Huron arid, Bruce want a
children's shelter',- Wlin not use
either one or other of these buildings
fora shelter and the other for the
goal ? A good deal ofmoney would
need bo be spent on 'either one prob-
ably in order to make it stitable for
the purpose hut not more than would
be required to purchase or build a
new one,
