THEADOMINION OF CANADA OUR CRITERION. RUTOPIA RED GROSS--0CIETY (MILITARY Y. M. c. A; Calgary N ews-Telegram - .Two names have been prominently men- 'tioned for the vacancy on the dis- trict court bench caused by the ap- lpointment of his honor, Judge A. A. l` Carpenter, to `the public utilities `commission. They are J. L. Jenni- son, K.C., of Jennison & Craig, and J. Craig Brokovski, of Lougheed, Bennett, -McLaws and company. The opinion is freely expressed that either of these two veteran barris- ters would be an adornment to the `position, but neither of the two would discuss the matter when ap- proached by a representative of The News-Telegram. Mr. Jennison, who is an alderman for the current year, is a native of New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, and a graduate of Dalhousie College.

This action on the part of the Cen- tral church will, no doubt, dis-ar- -range the activities of their work. It is a worthy sacrice on the part of the church and one that will com- ment itself to the citizens in gen- eral. ` ` - _ The agricultural 'coach, in which is displayed ' the , products of Northern Ontario, was at Barrie all day Tuesday`, and drew large crowds of sight-seers, both from town and country. Mr. R. A. Jones, thereu- ergetic and painstaking official in charge, and his assistant were kept busy explaining the advantages of `the north country and exhibiting the wonderful crops pproduced. The farm products shown, both-_ in grain, grasses and roots, were something to be wondered at, in -fact if the display had not been .under the auspices of the government one would be inclined to believe that such wonderful results could not be obtained in what we consider the frozen north country. It seems hardly possible, when one. viewed the photographs on the walls of the car, that farms and farm buildings could reach such a height of perfec- ftion in the few years the country ;has been opened up. i I I i Much will have to be done in the way of furnishings.

There were weaknesses in the carrying out the law in Orillia and the speaker laid the blame for this at the door of the two shop licenses in Barrie. Orders were sent to Barrie. and the liquor was shipped to Orillia C.O.D. This had grown to large proportions. A drunken brawl happened on the streets of Orillia last week and the source of supply was traced to Bar- rie. The speaker argued that if the shops.were closed up in Barrie there would not be as much liquor brought into Orillia, as dealers further away, not knowing the party order- ing, would not take the risk. `D-..
