A Montpelier Fish Story.
(Rntland News.

Not content with publishing. day by
day, a list of the birds of the air, as
they arrive in the capital city. probably
in quest of maple sugar, naming some
feathered flyers that ordinary citizens
have heard of, the Montpelier Argus is
trying to put across the first fish story of
the season. The Argus declares that
after the high water of Sunday. two fish
were found in the cellar of Montpelier
drug store and the finder threw them
back in the river as the fishing season
does not begin until April 10. 1t seems
rather appropriate that the fish should
swim for the drug store. particularly il
the apothecary is licensed to sell for
medicinal purposes, but, at the same time.
the story sounds rather improbable. Is it
really true, Argus?

The distinction of being the youngest
prime minister in Canada and perhaps
in the whole British empire belongs to
Hon. Charles \. Cunning, who has ac-
cepted the responsibility of forming a
new government for the Province of Sas-
katchewan. At the age of 80 the new
premier comes to high place unusually
early in life. comparatively speaking.
A native of England, Mr.. Dunning came
to Canada in early manhood and in
1902 began his career in Saskatchewan
as a farmer. Almost from the start his
career has been one of marked achieve
ments. While engaged in farming he
made special study of marketing prob
lens. and before he was &c he had helped
to organize and become manager of a
farmers cooperative elevator company.
At 81 he became a member of the legis-
lature, where his ability and force of
character brought him early notice. and
insured ultimate prominence in Provin-
cial politics. For some years he has
held the position of Provincial treasurer

women refused to fill out Individual
schedules or give desired Information on
the advice, they said, of one or the
other of the members of the above
named combination The animus, of
course, was that the Thompson Trust
was bearing the expense of the survey,
while the thorough trimming that the
Barber-Hughes combine received in the
recent Thompson Trust litigation was
still fragrant in its memory
The. reason advanced was that the
Thompson trustees were seeking to keep
down future demands on the Thompson
Trust. The Meddler cannot speak for the
Thompson trustees in this matter, but
he feels impelled to call attention to the
unwilling acknowledgement by Messrs.
Barber and Hughes of the business
sagacity of the trustees. If those in
charge of the fund are sufficiently far
sighted to undertake to prevent I'M
necessary drain on the income of the
Thompson estate by the establishment
of some cooperative organization they
are entitled to public commentator. As
a matter of fact the movement has q
much broader foundation and purpose,
and Barber and Hughes know it, but it
isn't necessary to discuss that here
Anyway, they didn't do much damage,
because there is usually more than one
source from which information can be
obtained and in many instances where
data was refused, either upon advice or
otherwise, much of it was secured
through other channels.
