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.
According to farmers who were in
New Glasgow Saturday, thousands,
of .bushels..ol.worth1sss grain have
bechupuesb 'ed -this -spring and sown.
'1`h0'lie¢\\lti.:¢l been--that the farmers

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. They nin-cried. Ac-
rordliig to it story told by Mrs. Lill-
stone at the time of her suit was

ings to nay I.idstone‘s tuition to an
automobile school, so he could be-
come a nliaufleur and earn enough for
them to wed.
In thc spring of 1910 Hiram B.
Myers of Wellesley Farms bought
an automobile and George W. Lid-
stono secured the job of running it.
The Lidstones had a little flat in
Brooklin, Lldstone took a room in
Wellesley to _be near'hls work. Ac-

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.

ANOTHER SEA TRAGEDY.
BERLIN, June 12-One of the un-
reported tragedies of the sea has just
comc to notice in the mysterious
disappearance of the Hamburg trans-
atlantic freighter Mount Oswald. The
sts-annfr left Baltimore on February
l7th with a heavy cargo of mer-
chandise, and was due in Hamburg
the first wcelr. of March. She has
never been heard of since her ds-
parture from Baltimore.
Weeks elapsed before the owners
could be persuaded that she was lost,
but a few days ago the conslgtises
of cargo were officially informed that
the insurance companies, which were
responsible for amounts aggregating
$100,000, were now ready to pay the
total due on the f policies.
Where and how the Mount Oswald
disappeared is a profound mystery,
She was a first.-class cargo boat of
5,000 to 6,000 tons, and carried a
crew of forty or fifty men.
