DR.. Roberts discussed the question
in most intelligent manner and had
the other ministers of The town been

City Bred Youngsters Must Have Had
Peculiar Taste.

Ron and Reg were two dear little
boys who had been born and bred in
big city and knew nothing at all OF
country life. So when they were
taken to the real country this year,
far away from towns. they were quite
overcome at first. by the marvels that
they saw everywhere.
In the beginning they were afraid
OF everything from the cows to the
grasshoppers, but after short time
their naturally enterprising spirits
overcame all their timidity and soon
their mother had her hands full try
ing to prevent them from bring home
such incompatible pets as green
toads.
One day she saw them busy in the
garden picking something up and eat

was not legal, owing to the fact that
one of the Jurors had not legally quail

The matter was Investigated by the
late grand jury and In all cases still

found. One hundred and twenty one
cases were investigated and sixty-nine

BY far the most interesting part of
the report was the addenda in which 1t

County officials" and 1t was recon-
mended that the County Court investi-
