It reads in part as follows:â€"*‘"Ths origin of Christmas is dofinitely linked with agricu‘ture, so at this time of the ysar it would seem particularly natural that those who are engaged in this old and noble pursuit should feel a desp reâ€" sponse as the most illustrious of days approaches. And so our thoughts inâ€" cline to set as‘ide all mundane things for a brief spe!ll and turn to dwell on the spirit of Christmas and all that it implies. It is hoped that the Dominâ€" itn Dept. of Agriculture in coâ€"Cperation wich similar departments and instituâ€" tions of the province will be enabled to continue to promote friendship and and to enlarge whatever is of service and benefit to the people of Canada and the world." The Christmas message from Adan: L. Sellar, president of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association, is also of special interest. It reads, in part:â€" "It‘s Christmas!"

In the meantime, however, Carâ€" is made such determined efforts to esâ€" cape from St. Mary‘s hospital where he had been kept on account of his apâ€" »arcnt illâ€"health that he was taken back to the police station. As a kindâ€" ness to the prisoner he was placed in a temporary cell recently partitioned off for the use of women prisoners. Carie, however, showed his appreciâ€" ation for the kindness shown him by breaking off a couple of boards near the door of the cell, and after crawling through the hole thus made he comâ€" pleted his escape by going through a window in the basement of the police station. In the meantims _ relatives and friends of the accused man came forward and made restitution of the amount in dispute in regard to the exâ€" press orders and that charge was withâ€" drawn. However, the police here still have had the charge against Carie that he escaped from lawful custody and they continued their search for him until he was eventually located and returned to the cells. Precautions have been taken to see that he does ncot escaps again. On Thursday he will come before Magistrate Atkinson to answer to the charge of unlawfully cszaping from custody. NEW YEAR‘S EVE DANCE OF * THE TIMMINS TENNIS CLUB Hon. Mr. Gordon Reported as Suggesting Comproâ€" mise Route for Transâ€" Canada Highway. Gets 30,000 Shares Siscoe Mine Stock By judgment given in the Supreme Court of Canada at Ottawa on Friday, Felix Bijakowski, of Timmins, Ontario, was awarded 30,000 shares of Siscoe stock with accrued divedends which he claimed from the Siscos Gold Mines, Limited, Montreal. Judgment Handed Down on Friday in Supreme Court in Favour of Felix Bijaâ€" kowski of Timmins. Bijakowski sued when his claims for the shares was denied, following a disâ€" puteé involving several Others over an investment in the company‘s thares in 1927, The case was first tried before Mr. Justice Lorenger in Montreal, who found in favour of Bijakowski. On appeal to the Court of King‘s Bench the judgment was uphe‘ld. A further appeal to the Supreme Court was disâ€" missed with costs on Friday.

No matter what merit the new plan of the Attronsyâ€" General might have, it could not hope to be successful without proper arâ€" rangements being made. As The Adâ€" vance pointed out several weeks ago, at least a half a dozen justices of the peace are needed for the Porcupine camp. These should have been appointâ€" ed before the commissions wers taken away from the just‘ces hitherto acting. This plan, however, was not followed. Instead only one justice of the peace was appointed for the Porcupine area, including Schumacher, South ‘ Porcuâ€" pine and Timmins. As a result therse has been serious ccnfusion and worse. The new justice of the peace appointed is away on a wellâ€"earned holiday and there is no one to take his place here or in Schumacher and South Porcupine. It is a most undesirable situation. One man who was assauited Saturday evenâ€" ing could not find a justice of the peace to take his complaint, though the inâ€" jured gentleman was practically sure that his assailant intended to leave the district. Other gimilar cases are reâ€" ported. All the cases prove that several J.P.‘s are absolutely necessary here, so that one may be available when others are not to be found. It is a serious .inâ€" terference the administration of: justice to debar citizens from protectâ€" ing their rights and their safety by swearing out warrants, informations, etc. i At the price quoted on the Standard Stock Exchange on Friday last for Sicsse ($2.45 per share) the amount involved in the judgment totals $73,â€" 500.00, without counting any accrued dividends.

Here‘s to a Christmas Day so happy as to cast a beam of sunlight over all the Coming Year. â€" A robber band of five, one of whom police said they bolieve may have beeon the fugitive killer, Robert Mais, invadâ€" ed a branch office of the Phi.ladelphia Electric Company ‘Thursday, seooped up between $40,000 and $48,000 in cash, and fled in a mcotor car. Injured last Sunday when one of the fire trucks crushed his leg, Bill Stanley, one of the regulars at the firs hall is now well on the way to recovery. It was thought at first that there might be some ‘broken bones but an xâ€"ray showed that the damage was a sprainâ€" ed ankle and some torn ligamonts in the leg. It is expected that the plaster cast will be removed this week and that he will soon be up and around aga‘n. Robbers Steal $40,000 While 60 Workers Look on Two of the 60 employees helad up by the bandits partially identified the robâ€" ber lepder as Mais, fugitive from a Virginia prison from whch he shot his way to freedom while awaiting execuâ€" tion for the slaying of a mail employce.

Bolshevik leaders who are not friendly to Stalin, have been seized by the Russian comâ€" munists and it is expected that by this time they have been used the same way as hundreds of others who do not agree with the communists in Russia. The "Univers," flagship of Holland transport air flieet was forced down Thursday night in the Rutbah area in Syria. There were seven people aboard the plane. They timed their invas.on to take place just as 60 employees of the ecsmâ€" pany waited in front of the cashier‘s cage to have their pay cheques cashed. A 4â€"yearâ€"old Toronto boy with a vivid imagination created much exciteâ€" ment last Thursday by telling of seeâ€" ing a boy drowned through going through the ice. The police and lifeâ€" savers visited the pond where the drowning was supposed to have taken place but found nothing but solid ice. Eventually the boy admitted that he had made a mistake.

Earl Lawson, M.P., for West York, as organizer for the Conservatives in the coming Dominion election. » beml-Weekly Review of News in General Items of Interest from Far and Near.
