served to sodify the sentiment of the Russian masses

The significance Of the assassinations is that Mrbach

ordered iron clamps upon the Russians and bombs have de-
stroyed them They took away Russian life and property

 The boys and girls of today will be the men and women of tomorrow and Western Canada's children are being trained into the best sort of farmers. Not only are agricultural schools and demonstration farms maintained at various points, where the young peo- ple-and older ones too-may go for education. but a Farm School on Wheels brings education to their lvery doors. This travelling school Gonsists of train of ter we'll equipped, coaches and has . staff of nine lecturers whose subjects cover live stock, dairying, agronomy and poultry raising. For the women and girls there is an additional domestic science course, included in which are cooking, sewing and laundering classes. Practical demonstrations are given in all courses. This mov- able school is not an innovation. It is rounding out its seventh suc-, cessful year. The cooperation, of l the Canadian Pacific Railway and other lines has done much to insure its success.

pay to the constable's department $33O month. and getting little service for the money thus expended: that 15 or 20 warrants had been given to the constable to serve in months past and they "were not served. tho the par tses were walking around the streets" Ne said when some Of these warrants were given to the sheriff they had the parties up here in less than two hours." That he had appeal ed to the county judge without result was another statement made by Judge Wood.
 Mayor Bloom said he understood from the constable's department that the city clerk would pass member Of that denartment and go to the sheritf,s office with papers to be served. The judge admitted this was the case. justifying the action by declaring that they had been unable to get service thru the constable's de- partment. Judge Wood said he de- sired to avoid any controversy with any other official. and so invoked the aid of the sheriff "rather than have quarrel with the constable's depart ment:" that he desired to work in harmony with all departments. and had endeavored to do so.
 Cash Bonds $95.
 As to an order to the nisht chief of police that no cash bond for less than $25 should be accepted, the iudge said his intention was that if these bonds were intended as forfeits they would be sufficient to meet the fine imposed. Mayor Bloom. and Alder men McKibbony and Miller question. ed the wisdom of this order. citing that in some cases the maximum fine , cannot be more than $lO. and de- mand for a forfeit of $25 might prove embarrassing.
 1 Alderman Means brought out that in the higher courts when bonds are forfeited. the accused is still liable to | arrest and prosecution. while in the | municipal court the forfeit is accepted as a fine. The inference was that under these circumstances the police fix the penalty.
 The mayor suggested that the coun cil take some action in order to pro tect the police. and finally the council adopted motion by Alderman Cleo ent that the police committee. tho mayor. and city attorney and municipal judge confer and decide on a policy in regard to cash bonds. Judge Wood acouiesed. saying he was always glad to discuss any matter with the coun- ell and mayor. tho he had previously suggested that the council understand that "orders of the municipal court are not reviewab1e by the council"
