The plan should prove feasible, particularly in view of the number of fine horses owned in this section of the country. The doctor related a tale that has been much discussed this year, his success with his old~ "favorite, Belle (Mahone. APPOINTED OFFICER FOR COBOURG POST Provincial Constable Harry Storey Formerly of Lindsay, Takes up New Duties Provincial Constable Harry Storey arrived in Cobourg last week and has taken over the duties of Provincial Constable J. H. Fewtreli, who resigned some time ago. Provincial Constable Storey, who has been permanently appointed as officer in charge of the Counties of Durham and Northumberland, comes to Cobourg from Lindsay, where he was constable for the district of Victoria and Haliburton. Constable F. Weatherall, who has been serving temporarily as the officer at Cobourg headquarters will take over the post vacated by Officer Storey. The new officer is a man of wide police experience having been a mem-her for seven years of the famous Yorkshire County Constabulary in England; for six months connected with Provincial Police Headquarters at Toronto and for the past five years at Lindsay. During his service at the latter post, he investigated a number of important cases including the Beatrice Fee murder; the Balsam Lake drowning tragedy and others. The Lindsay Post reporting Constable Storey's transfer, stated in a recent issue; "Provincial Officer Harry Storey received word of his transfer to Cobourg, where he will have charge of the Counties of Northumberland and Durham. It is with considerable regret, that the citizens in general learn of the departure of Constable Storey. He has been one of the most efficient officer? this town and county have ever had. He also was at all times a gentleman, painstaking in his duties but courteous and fair."

NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY BACON HOG FAIR, 1927 The Northumberland County Bacon Hog Fair was held at Campbellford on October 21st, 1927, and was a most successful event in the opinion of all who attended. Owing to the very cold weather prevailing the attendance was not as great as it would undoubtedly have been had the weather been more agreeable. Many farmers present commented most favorably on the educational value of such a fair and stated that they were well repaid for the time spent there. The outstanding feature of the fair was the large number of entries. Fully two hundred (200) hogs were in the pens and competition was keen in all classes. This was particularly so in the case of the pens of six bacon hogs, there being eleven entries in this class. The judging was done, by Messrs. John Duck, Port Credit; D. A. Mc-Kinnon, Dominion Live Stock Branch, Peterboro; and I. B. Martin, Provincial Department of Live Stock, To- Awards--Bacon Hog Fair Class 1--^Boar born before Sept. 1, 1926. 1st--E. A.

Good Programme Admission: Adults 50 cents Children 35 cents EVERYBODY WELCOME Attorney-General Price Says That Men Who Handled Car-Loads Have Disappeared Toronto, Oct. 20.--Conviction that the present liquor law has bee: great success and has eliminated bootlegger to a large extent in Ontario was voiced by Attorney-General Price to-day. He states that the real bootleggei the men who handled car-loads of liquor by the glass to thirsty visitors says that there a few people selling liquor b ythe glass to thirsty visitors and that some changes will have to be made to cope with them. "Men who know the conditions intimately and who are closely in couch with the situation at all times tell me that the bootlegger, the real.bootlegger, has almost vanished. I mean who handled liquor in huge "We know that there is a small number of people who sell beer by the glass. They are, perhaps more difficult to handle, and we have to partly reorganize to meet the situation. "These are the people who sell a glass of beer to visitors. They are in one place to-day and in another to-morrow but there are very few o* them and in a short time we expect to have even this stamped out.* ■[ "LIQUOR PERMITS (Peterboro Examiner) 1 « One of the surprising features of the operation of the Liquor Control Act in Ontario is the comparatively >mall number of permits soldjup to the present time. The total 3s approximately 260,000 out of a napula-tion of over three million peopl, and it must be remembered that a very large percentage of the permits- sold were purchased by tourists. ] The number of Ontario people whl have shown a desire to take advantage of the privilege of legally buying liquor has been much less than wasfMitici-tated, following the heavy -vSte in favour of the Government ContJ)l pot icy, and emphasizes the fa*; that' thousands of electors who mi noCj wish to drink liquor themselve supported that policy because tljy be-, lieved that it would bring abfit im-j proved conditions. The lesson to be taken is that it will pay thoi# who appreciate the privilege of Wa; pin chase to obey the law aml.ii--~* its enforcement. Oi.hei ralight be a change of hi part of the large number /t voters who personally are not concerned about the sale of liquor.

An apparent tribute to the lawful rharacter of people in Northumberland and Durham is evinced by the fact that the Counties' Jail has only :en prisoners; while from parts of the Province are coming complaints of ;vercrowding in the jails.
