MLUCKNOW ENTERS TEAM
•I IN BRUCE LEAGUE RACE
Season Opens On May 25th, When
Lucknow Meets Palmerston Here—
Six Teams In Southern Loop.
Sufficient teams have entered the
Bruce League to split the loop into a
northern and southern group. As a
result, long and expensive trips are
fairly well done away with;, and. this
factor decided Lucknow to again en
ter the League.
The southern group consists ' of
six teams. Palmerston. ’Wingham,
Lucknow. Kincardine, Walkerton and
Hanover., The season, opens on May
25th, when Lucknow entertains
Palmerston, in the Sepoy village.
a- . The Northern group includes Ches-
, ley;Southampton, Allenford, Owen
Sound, Meaford . and Dobbington.
And with Hec Goldsmith and . Noble
. still in’ “South”, this town can bol-
’ . 8ter their club with Port Elgin play-
' era, so that the Allenford lads won’t
be so much missed.
' Locally it may be quite a problem
rounding up a contending ttam and
w it may be necessary to use a couple
or so of the . prospective Maitland
League players. If both teams oper
ate, there should be no lack of base-
'ball here this season. 2.

ery member realizes that taxes will
have to be increased to some extent
but the Government feels that the
lower tariffs will lead to a greater
volume of business so that the reven
ue will bp kept up.
The tariff on furniture remains
the same—27 %, with a 3 %. hus-
Board was to the effect that no in
crease should, be made. However,
some concessions have been made on
materials imported for the use of.
furniture manufacturers. J
•I believe one item which will in
terest a great many people in 'Can
ada will be the if privilege of bringing
in $100 worth” off- goods, free of duty,
from the United States. This . was
severely criticized on the grounds
that it will cut the Customs revenue
to a large extent: but no cognizance
was taken of the amount of smugg
ling of small articles that goes on all
the time along the border. I believe
this law will make little or no diff
erence in the revenue received...
Considerable criticism was also
levelled at the Government for the
lowering of the tariffs oh agricul
tural implements but the feeling has
been strong among Government sup
porters that these companies have
not been playing fair with the farm
ers. I expect thia will be borne out by
the results of the investigation into
the increase in price of farm imple
ments now being made by the Agri
culture Committee;
Yesterday, at the sitting of the,
-Committee,- Dr.‘ Booth of -the^Econ-
omic Branchy gave us certain irifor-
ination showing the purchasing pow
er of the farmer from 1870 to 1935
and also the trend of farm imple
ment prices during/ those years. I in
tend, to secure a copy of one of the
charts which explains the matter
much better than I can here, jand
send it on to yoiir paper at a later,
date as I think it would be of inter
est. /
It. is interesting to know that a
similar investigation along the same
lines, is being conducted by the Unit
ed States House of Representatives,,
and, we are co-operating iri many
matters. The American Government
expect* their investigation, which is
very far-reaching,, will not be finish
ed for a year tft least..
While serious matters were occu- ,
pying the attention of the House, the
lady members were looking the men
over and deciding who was the best
looking member. This has caused
quite a .commotion and we have been
accused by the ladies of having our
eyes set too close together, too big
and too prominent' ears, crooked
noses and weak chins. When Hon. R.
B. Bennett, Who has been named the
most distinguished looking man in
the House took his place yesterday,,
he was greeted by a furore of cheers
and clapping, which apparently did
not altogether please him as "he Wore
a distinct scowl." »I ,,
The Prime Minister is attempting
to shorten the discussion On the/Bud-
get in order that the Balance o^ujpv ;
portant ' legislation niay be enacted
this Session, which I may Say, for a
first Session, hasLfceld the record for
putting throug a great volume ' bf
outstanding measures. A serious eh-
deavdur is being made to meet ther
great problems with which this coun
try is faced and as the days go by
we hope the beneficial results will be
apparent
