Political newspapers, and people who take their polities seriously ,have been considerably stirred up during the wast week or two by the statements made by Andrew flicks, AMP, for South Huron, ata U.F.O. Picnic at London It is claimed that Mr. Hicks Athat attempts either said r insinuated a t were made during the session of the House to bribe some of the members to vote for or against certain legisla- tion. Some of the city dailies say that the matter must be cleared up, and we :rre given to understand that Mr. Hicks will see Attorney General Raney this week. It would appear, however, that a hornets' nest has been .Disturbed and if Mr. Hicks can get out of it without being stung he will be either clever .or lucky, or both. CORRESPONDENTS ATTENTION..

Wilsairn of James Street, ex t changed pulpits on Sunday --the latter h' Present conditions, and elderly obse_r yet "retired," but still sticky to the land, said, Pll admit that there's more money in circulation, and in the savings banks than there used to be and more comfior is and conveniences Luxuries, and extravagences, more pride and independence, but I doubt if there is as much neighborliness and sym- oathy contentment a ri happiness, charity and goodfellowship, truth and honesty simple faith and purity of life as there use I to be. And this wise fold farmer is not a particularly sanctimonious individual either. The Government has issued a warn- ing ageenst the European Corn Borer. This pest attacks over 100 different species of ;plants, including corn, po- tetoes•, oats, flowers and garden crops and it k rarticularly injurious to sweet corn. The borer has already made its way to several of the United :Mates, and there is grave danger of this ,er- lous pest being brought into the :ern growing sections, of Canada, Holes in the stalks of cant .and other plants with <awdust-1110 material issuing from them indicate the presence of the borer. or caterpillar, All persons are urgently requested to keep a constant lookout for this most dangerous pest and to report immediately all suspie- iaus eases to the Dominion Entomola- gi .S# Ottawa. . A Zurich correspandent writing to the Advocate complains of the "rough stuff' in evidence at the game. sof hall. in Zurich on Thursday last between their team, and. Crediton tit*hen. Crediton won by a score of 6-4. He ,plaices no complaint about losing the game but he says there wasa. gang among the visitors who came with the intention of loin; ugly, and that one Crediton player bas been re y n parted and may be disqualified as a player for the season: The Advocate declines to make per- sonal mention of anyone since the fire in. town preventedus from" seeing the game, but whatever is right or wrong about the case in question we are among those who would like to see the. sport kept clean and free from "rough stuff." .444444,444.44,44.444.4.1444144.... COMMUNITY L'A.UNDRY. We ;.re informed that there has been a movement put on foot by the ladies in the community to establish a community laundry in town for the purpose of relieving the burdensome duties that fall weekly en the good housewife. This le no attempt at con- fining the project to either tenon or country and its purpose .ie simply to relieve all yeomen in the community who wish to avail themselves of the opportunity of jessenang their bur- dens at the washtub,. °We understand shares will be sold at $10 :each, and after sufficient capital has been sub- scribed a suitable building will be pro- cured in town, and it tvitl be equipped with hydro, the latest approved wash- ing ane ironing machines, and will be out in charge of competent pants for management, All washing dad ironing Brill he done in the most approved style. and at the mininium, cost, thus such a project should. meet with the apneas -a; and support of every house - bolder in the community. In another column of this issue will be seen an re <ement ;soliciting your co•-oper- w' en sal it will be well for the ladies to into : cst themselves. Local News Monday last was the longest day of the year; and now the days will shor- ten. Rev. R. J. Bowen. will preach in. Main Street Methodist Church an Sunday morning next and the Trivitt Memor- ial in the evening. First strawberries sold here for 50 cents a box, but said down. to 25 cents by the tend of -the week. It is said they will be much cheaper before the season is over, as few of the canning companies are putting down any kind of berries this yeatr ,owing to the high pricy of sugar, The marriage took place on June 1, in .St. Paul's •church, • Wimigham, ,of an Exeter boy, Joseph L.

We are .of the opinion that the base- ball bug has gat some of our fans and there is a possibility that they will go stark mad it the games held the past week are to be continued in, a, like manner. Zurich having defeated us on Tuesday night, not so much through their good work but through the ov- erthrows made by our boys, our pea- ple were determined to win, the game played in the neighboring town Friday evening. Practically the whole town went over to root, and judging from reports they had an interesting time, In spite of the fact that Zurich got three runs in the first innings, we won out in tha end with a score of 6 tot 4. One characteristic of our boys is that when they come home victors there is little said....They usually allow the fans to clo the talking. Crediton bas always been a. balltown and consider- ing that na games have been played by our team for same years, It is' re- inarkabie the improvement they are making - They- are receiv n•g tee hearty support of our pea, le and we feel certain, it they donl't win out in the end they will give a mighty good ac- count of themselves to the finish, Our boys used to think they could root but the: girls have them beaten to a frazzle.
