The dictionary definition of the Word uklack of thoughtfulness or inattentiveness, negligence, heed- lessness or carelessness.

There is no <iuestion as to the intention of the law in this respect; the trouble is with the inter- pretation of the statute.

PIMSHMENT OF CRIME The prevalence of crimes of a ser- ious character and the best means for combating lawlessness is again engaging the attention of the author- ities in fUinada as well as in the ad- joining republic.

We belieye the oxpRina- tion is the greater certainty that the law will be ju.stly administered with- out fear or favor. Nevertheless, there is far too much serious crime in this country and good reason for considering how best lawlessness can be. put' down. The great extension of crimes undetaken by armed bandits. with the aid of automobiles is puzzl- ing the authorities, and seriously proposed that should be used in the punishment of , those found guilty of crimes of this nature. Mayhap it should be given a trial. We know of no one who has been whipped for this brand of crime or foi- otJ-,v.«'t's against women and cl}iUii»1»fi who again come into the ''clutches of the law for a similar offence. In any case, the Courts will do well to extend the utmost vigor of the law to the criminal found in possession of a murderous weapon when arrest- ed for crime. Such a one might not have actually slain his victim, but thete is no doubt that tho possesion of a gun, ilagger, stiletto or other ddadly weapon proved that he had murder in hi.i heart and meant to cdmmit it, should it be necessary to do so in order to accomplish his pur- pose or to escapo punishment for his misdeeds. owned by much more known althe Ferguson farm.

ALEXANDER FKVRRSHAM THE MAGIC CARPET Bank off Montreal Leaves The Advance is sOrry to announce that the Bank of Montreal has been ' forced to close its doors in F'lesher- 1 ton on account of business not warr- anting keeping open any longer. The ' decision was q^ade a couple of weeks ' ago and took effect on Monday last. All accounts have been transferred ; to the Standard Bank, notice of which | waa sent to all the customers of the . Bank of Montreal. We are also i sorry to lose Mr. W. B. A. Cross, the manager who has been here for i nearly tv/o yoars, and who has been a i very obliging head of the local branch. | Mr. Crfi.ss has received a move to Guelph and he, with his family, will move their household effects from, here. Mr. Gould, teller in the bank, leaves tor Granton, while Miss Ferris junior, will remain at her home here. The Bank of Montreal took over the Merchants Bank of Canada, which^ had been established here in 1919, and about six managers of the bank have been here in that time. Once upon ii time in the mystic land of Persia, there was found am- ong the treasures of a king, a won- derful carpot. One had only to sit ! o:i it, wish to be somewhere, and away the carpet would fly till the wished-for-place was reached. For hundreds of years it carried kings and princes upon the most amazing adventure.s. No one knows what fin- ally became of it, but it may be that its tsla threads went into the make- up of hte first Youth's Companion. For, like the magic carpet.
