Judge Green, who had a surgi-
cal operation four weeks ago for a
rectal trouble, is still very unwell,
hardly able to get around with the aid

to submit to another operation, and
he is not now in good physical condi-
ton for 1t. He has never missed a
day on the bench because of his own
health since his first election, but the
chances are that his next term which
was to begin next week at Logan, will
have to be adjourned. The public
hopes for his speedy recovery.
