Cooper of Mea- ford made the repre.si-niaatii)ns to the Attorney (Joneral, some weeks ago, that .\iisiis Tuohy, a former Mcaford j hotel keeper had been improperly arrested and tried by Magistrate Creasoi- with Matthew Beckett pros- ecutinR, an interesting chain of events •was set in qiotion. The attorney Ccneral referred the complaint to the two Owen Sounders with the result that Beckett jumped into print with a big splurge on the front page of the Owen Sound Sun. He was goinff to make Mayor Cooper prove his charges or eat '<;m. Full publicity was given by the Owen Sound papers, and whether intentionfilly or not. the impression TR-as given that Mayor Cooper had barked his "hins on a hornets nest, and was decidedly "in wrong." Magistrate Creasor followed with a very i!i.?crtel interview to the pap- er, to the effect that everything be- tween him and the Meaford Mayor had been fixed up Mayor Cooper ignored the paper "campaign" of Beckett and Creasor, beyond the simple statement that he had withdrawn nothing and retracted nothing. Then followed the investigation at Toronto which Cooper had requested. The details of this memorable meet- ing betwcn the Mayor and the License Inspector are only whispered. After the investigation, however the Attorney General's office wired ♦he Owen Sound jail, ordering Tuo- hy's release immediately and that a car be hired t> traiiuMi"'-t him to nis home â€" after ho haH served only one week more than half his sentence, according to 'ou-' informuU'di. The Department appears not to have de- layed long enougn for a letter to re- lease the man whom Mayor Cooper charged had been wrongly arrested. \ mysterious silence fell upon the Owen Sound paper following Tuohy 's release. Where it had given flaring headlines to Beckett's injudicious interviews, it dismissed the final out- come with an ob.scure paragraph, thus ; leaving, bf yovid question, an impres- ' sion that v.halever the outcome, Mea- ord's mayor had come out second best in his encounter with Beckett. The fact tiiat Mayor E. N. Cooper i.s i one of the outstanding Conservatives ] of North Grey may or may not have ', some beurin,"? on the treatment ho has received from the Owen Sound jour- nal. CROP PROSPECTS The open sr^ason is now at hand for crop estimators and prophets to get in their vrork, and there io plenty of evidence, that they are as busy as us- ual at this season of the year. Crop i estimating i.s really bf great value to ! the commercial v/orld, and is a means \ of getting seme much needed infor- | mation to business men whose enter- | prises depend largely upon the pro.s- ! perity of the farmer. There is also much harm done, in the aggregate from careless, and too optimistic es- timates which are broadcasted widely merely because they happen to come ' from some individual whose standine: ! is an im.nortant one, but who does not ] necessarily know much about actual 1 crop conditions. Farmers complain \ annually, that crop estimates do them | a great deal of harm and only benefit | iirban folk; but the best argument in ] The new beer has not been such a success as Premier Ferguson hoped for. e * » In the death recently of Col.

I At the same time it should be re- ] membercd that forecasts of crops at ] this time of year are very apt to be ] found misleading later in the season. The poorest farmer knows that much may happen 1>etween seeding and har- vest, and we are barely past the Tseed- ing season now. Our experienee is j that crop conditions are usually pretty much the same year after year at this time in the growing season, unless it , is a year when the season is much later than usual. June is usaully a ' good growing month, and everything looks at its best. Even the most pess- imistic person looks his brightest in June. Grass is as abundant as it ever will be, the cows are contented on good pasture, the hens have not ! •topped laying ai,>d the niarkct cattle | are coming off the g(ra«s, fat and ' ready for t' s butcher.
