Strange as it may seem, we have since encountered an example of , an entirely different kind, in which it seems as if an Aberdonian were jealous of the reputation of his native city for canniness and had taken prompt acâ€" tion to restore it, This Aberdonian customer happened to owe Edgar Allen Co., Ltd., the sum of #£2. He sent a cheque for £1 19s. 11d., and pointed out that, this would be to the advantage of both the firm and himself.~ The firm would not need to spend twopence on a receipt stamp, and therefore would gain a penny by the transaction, and he himâ€" self.â€"by paying a nenny less than the Ottawa Journal:â€"Western man says sweepstakes are demoralizing, degenâ€" erating, degrading and delusory.

Gev. Jolicouer, Arthur Bergeron, 63 Third, was charged with the theft of car tools feom a local man. The accused failed to apâ€" pear to answer to his name and a bench warrant was issued for his arrest. There wereâ€"three cases under the Masters and Servants Act, where arâ€" rears of wages were claimed. Two of the cases were dismissed and the third one adjourned to next week. Geo. Muslin, charged with vagrancy unider the section relative to living on the avails of prostitution was sentencâ€" ed to six mcnths by Magistrate Atâ€" kinson on Tuesday at the court here. . A lCcal young man and a young lady who said her home was in Kapuskasing were each charged with false registraâ€" tion at a local hotel. They were pickâ€" ed up at the hotel by the town police on Sunday evening. The young man at first claimed the girl was his wife and then said "she so0on will be." "Who is the man?" the police asked the girl before the arrest. "Oh, he‘s the boy friend," she answered. The boy friend registered himself and the girl in the hotel register as man and wife. Apâ€" arently, the girl had no part in the registration, and so she was given a stern warning by the magistrate and allowed to go. The young man, howâ€" ever, was fined $100.00 and costs, and was able to raise the moneyv. Jerry Robitaille, 474 Third avenue, was charged with illegally having liquor. He was fined $200.00 and costs, the amount being paid at once. There were three common garden variety of drunks, the penalty being the common one of $10.00 and costs. Another charge o0# selling liquor was that against Bill Splawnik, 35 Fifth avente. This charge was withdrawn. the cases were dismissed, and two were withdrawn. The fines totalled $330.00, with costs additional. A man charged with failing to supâ€" port his wife and {family was again beâ€" fore the court, the case being dismissed. Helen Zones, 155 Cedar street, north, on a charge of unlawfull selling liquor, was sentenced to three months at Majileybury. On another charge of immoral living, the case was withdrawn against her when the jail term was imposed for the liquor selling. » Sseventeen Cases at Polhce Court Here Two 3ent Down fer Burglary.

Christian Science Monitor:â€"A reâ€" frigerator has now been perfected which rings an alarm bell when openâ€" ed after a certain time in the evening. This innovation will no doubt be greetâ€" ed warmly by mothers with growing families whose raids on the iceâ€"box have often depleted wellâ€"laid plans for the next day‘s meals. There is much force in the idea adâ€" vanced by Mr. Present. There have been several election campaigns in this North Land held when the weather was hard on the campaigners and kept many voters from the polls The obâ€" jection to summer elections is that the farmers are then too busy to bother. However, The Advance does not look for an election in either provincial or DOminion spheres until at least next year, though anything may happen in politics. â€" It does not seem likely, howâ€" ever, that either the provincial or Doâ€" minion Governments will tempt the fates until next year. In the meanâ€" time, however, it might be well for the powersâ€"thatâ€"be to note the point made by Mr. Preston. There will be many Writing to The Advance from Schuâ€" macher this week H. A. Preston says:â€" "When the next elections are here will they be pulled off in the winter or the summer time? The right time is any time from the first of May to the fAirst of November, and not when the zero weather is on us and the snow piled high on the roads, so that many settlers and others cannot run in their autos to the polls. This is another case of the Northern settlers not getting a square deal. If elections are held in the winâ€" ter it means hundreds of votes are not registered and the Government loses something on the gasoline tax. The right time to hold elections is when the cars can run on fine or rainy days, not when they are stored away for winter. Give the settler his chante to vote next election? Don‘t be too hard on them, and all the rest of the North."
