GRAIN DISAPPOINTING
NEW GLASGOW, N. S.. June 12- There has been much dissatisfaction and considerable indignation among the farmers in certain parts of the country over the result of the seeding of grain- -purchased from merchants this spring. I _ ' The farmers indignantly claim tnat they have been guiled, their claim being that they have been sold grain for leading purposes which had been frozen and sold to them as govern- ment inspected grain. ~ The majori- ty of the farmers say that they do not believe the grain is government inspected, find blame certain dealers for taking them in. Others again say.tha.t,-if the grain is government inspected them the government is badly in need of a competent inspec- tor. 'The result is that a number of the farinere are up in arms and in- teresting developments are locked for.

BOSTON,.June 11-Much interest is
evidenced in the $25,000 damage suit in the Norfolk Superior Court at Dedham, brought by Mrs. Anna E. Lidstone of Brocton against Mrs. Il- lione Woodbury' Meyers of Brookline for alleged alienation of the affections of George W. Lidstonc, formerly cha- uffer for Mr. and Mrs. Myers.
Mrs. Myers, a member of the
Wellesley society set, mother of two girls and enjoying the many luxuries which her liusband's la/rge income obtains for her, is accused by Young Mrs. Lidstone of writing letters to her chauffeur, beginning "My own sweetheart" and signed "Your own girl."
Mrs. Lidstone says 'on the witness stand that she “shadowed” Lid- stone from Brookline to Wellesley, locating him, 'in the Myers hom`e.
She swears she saw Mrs. Myers
sitting in Lidstone’s lap kissing the chaudeur frequently.
These things Mrs. Lldstone saw,she
declared, through a window,
Mrs. Ann ld: Lidstone, the plain- till in this suit, was a Vermont girl who came to Waltnam and there met George W: I.idst.onc, from Prince lddwurd Island. She was a blooming country maid.

ISAACS l\`OR`CABINE'I`.
NEW YORK, June 12-A cable
from London this morning to the New York Times says :
The announcement that the King
had approved the appointmet of At- torney Gcneral, Sir Rufus Isaacs' to he a member of the cabinet creates a precedent inasmuch as he is, the first Attorney General ever included in the cabinet.
The chief ministerial whip author-
izes the statement that the appoint- ment is entirely personal to Sir Ru- fus, and is not intended necessarily to he 3 permanent appointment.
An explanation of the appointment
is the desire of the Premier to strengthen the legal element in the inner council of the ministry, in view of the withdrawal of Lord Lorburn, but the Daily Mail points out that in no cabinet in recent times, has the legal element been stronger, thus justifying H, G. Wells' criticism that the country is governed by lawyers. Seven members of the cabinet are barristers, or solicitors by profes- sion namely; Asquith, Lloyd-George, McKenna, Birrel, Lord Haldane, Lord Mosley and Sir Rufus Isaacs.
Thus, says the Daily Mail, the
legal profession is steadily strength- ening its grlp on the government of the country. and displacing the busi- ness and land owing elemets.
Lord lloi'buro's resignatioii as Lord High (llinncellor and Lord I-lhldane's acceptance of the post were arranged by wireless. It is probably the first time in history that such an event was conducted in this manner.
