The total for the year was 80,408 which is a gain of 8,371 from the 72,037 books cii- 'eulated in 1927.

It is mild in Alberta and comparatively mild in Saskat- chewan and cold from Ontario to the Atlantic, A GOOD PICKER To vote for an even dozen can- didates in yesterday's elections, and not lose a single vote, was the experience of one Oshawa elector. He voted for mayor, the aldermen of his ward, and members of the Board of Education in the city, and for reeve, deputy reeve and coun- cillors in the township, and all of the candidates that he supported were elected.

Magistrate Hind in city police court gave the decision. Lomax contended that he work- ed 22 hours for the firm, and was transferred from one job to anm- other to fix some odd patches of plastering. He was neither notified nor advised that this work was not in connection with the company's business to which sta'ement Stew- art Campbell agreed. however, was under the impression that Lomax was working under the personal direction of the other partner, Mr. Frost at the time.
