FARIERO’ HIITI

llt ia to be regretted that the‘

weather has been so unpropttioua for the farmers‘ meetings this week-The attendance is much smaller than had been hoped for ’ altbmlfl quite a number of far- . niers from distant‘ points hrs present. ‘The wisdom of holding these annual conventions in wid- ter may well be questioned. Even the finest of winters, little depend- ence can be placed on the weather and the prospect of being held up by a snow blockade on tho ‘railway is not an alluring one to those who are a day's journey away, This question‘ might well br considered. There are periods dur lng the summer when attendance ' at such conventions would mean an enjoyable and needed holiday as well as a matter Q1’ 11115111685- lPhere is no doubt that much oi the value of this year's‘ confer- ence has been lost on account oi the time of meeting.

These iarniers‘ conventions are purely agricultural in their pur- pose and in this province the word agricultural embraces prac tically all our other activities. For this reason the other activities

Another remarkable feat- ure is provided by the fact that the crime appears to have been extemp- oraneous, thought. of perhaps ‘flve minutes before it was carried into elect. A third amazing featiire is that the robbers took only three or four minutes to strip their victim, and that she rushed back to her astounded friends perhaps Jive minutes after she had left them.

Parties Arranged.

One member of the party. lPaul W. lEnglehardt, an automobile deal- er, has given a detailed account oi the party, which is worth relatirig, since in many details it appears to be typical of the kind oi parties that prevail in American cities since the Volstead Act has come into force. The Englehardts were friends oi Mrs. ISclloel-lkopf, and

when she arrived in New York ar- rangements were made for some

slight entertainment. Common iriends, the ‘Manna. planned to give a New Year's Day party. The day before New Year's Mrs. Scho-

Year eve party would take place at the apartments of ‘Frank Barrett Carmen, a friend of hers, who was unable to leave the house. The
