A 'report of Monday night's game
sent to the daily press from Wing -
ham was grossly unfair. It said,
"the visitors displayed poor sports-
manship and degraded the game into
a free-for-all scrap." To this sland-
er the referee replied on Wednesday
stating that the game 4:ts nut rough,
and that while` the Lucknow ' boys
played a strong checking game the
playing was clean and fair. The
amount of penalizing was not un..
usually large. ' -
About one hundred Lucknow enthu-
siasts were over to see the game,
among the lot being two rinks of
curlers who played friendly games
with their brother sorts of Wing -
ham.

ever, we will for next Sunday con-
tinue . the subject of last Sunday,
namely, "Lessons learned from the
lives of great men." We don't know
how really great the lives of some of
our men are until we hear them dis-

Drury over his opponent in Halton
a week ago, Hon. - W. N. Raney was
elected by acclamation on Monday,
his proposed opponent, Lt. Col. Prit-
cherd, deciding a few days before
that a fight on his part • would be
useless. . Col. Pritchard does not ex-
plain very clearly why he decided at
the •last hour to withdraw from the
Contest, but the liklihood is that
opinion was running very strongly in
favor of the attorney»general.
The election of Premier Drury by
such a sweeping majority, and of his
attorney -general by - acclamation.
when certain elements were bitterly
opposed to hint, puts the U. F. O.
government in a strong position.
Those responsible, for it will 'feel that
they have substantial backing in the
country, and that they may act with
courage and decision.

THE LEAP -YEAR -4.•-.
Ever ;body was perfect:;; at home,
and all were happy- at the Women's
Institute "At Home," even in Car.
negie Hall Friday evening of last
week. There ,was a large attend-
ance, practically "all the members
(with their families being present. The
Hall was prettily decorated with
evergreens, Rags' and banners. Mrs.
' R. T. Phillips, president of the local
brannh, occupied the chair and gave
an . address outlining the work of the
Institute for the past year ant ex-
plaining the means adopted to raise'
and distribute funds. Being a leap -
year affair the -whole program was
Oven by women, and was as follows:
Solos by Miss M. Allis, Miss Money,
Miss M. Aitchison; piano duet, Misses
,Aima.and .A•da ,MacKay; mouth Organ,,
and banjo election, Misses .McMorran
and... Davison piano.. and :..mandolin
duet,. Misses Annie McKay and. M.
McMorran; selections, ladies quar-
tette, Mrs. J. W. Joynt, Miss Allin,
Miss Joynt, Mica MaeCallum;.•recita-
tions, Miss J. W. MacCallum, Miss
Norma .Thompson.' A drill, "Rule
Britannia," was, very pretty. It was
given by eight girls with Mrs. R. F.
Irwin as Britannia. ' These were
trained by Mrs. Ostrander, music by
Mr::.- A. D. Mackenzie. Mrs. O. A.
Newton and Miss Winnifred Gordon
were accompanists for those who
sang. • Following this program a
most appetizing lunch of sandwiches,
cake and coffee was served to about
250. On the whole, this at home was,
perhaps, the most successful so ft
given by the Institute.
UPS AND DOWNS
On Sunday afternoon a couple of
our town ladies decided that they
would be the better of some fresh air
and exercise so decided on a tramp,
their objective being the 12th Con. of
Ashfield. Instead of talking about
spiritual matters as one might exl-
pect on the day, they counted the pitch
holes in the road, and declare the num-
ber from Finlayson's corner to the
12th to he 76; and, of course, they «r -
countered 76 holes (the same ones)
on their return, making 152 which
they bobbed into and out of. How
much farther they travelled than the
actual distance would require a mathe-
matician to figure out. These brave
ladies were at church' in the evening .
apparently none the worse for their_
many ups and downs.
A LOW RASCAL.
The gasoline lightingsystem rec-
eptly installed 'in the Presbyterian
Church here, was out of commission,,
a week ago 'last Sunday, and the care-'
taker had, to resort, to the primitive
1 lamps which gave rather indiffer-
t service. On looking up the cause
of the trouble• with the gasoline plant
it was found that someone had broken
off the wire. leading from the supply
tank, which is outside the church. The
wire had all the appearance of having
been hent hack and forth_ until it part-
ed, and, no doubt. the breaking was
deliberately done. It is difficult to ap-
prehend rascals who indulge in such
tricks, but they are not fit to live in
-a- civilized contniunity, and aught to
he association with their kind be
hind bars.
