No Farm Leave.
According to information received
by Principal Treleaven of the Colleg-

mitted the students to work on farms
and have their promotions given on

ZURICH BEATS EXETER
Zurich hockey team came over last
Friday evening and defeated the lo-
cal players in a good game of hockey.
the score being 11 to 6. The three
Hoffman boys of Zurich put up good
game and were to fast for our boys.
There was a fair turn out.
LIVE STOCK ON PROVINCIAL
HIGHWAY
In answer to an inquiry Mr. W.
A. McLean, deputy minister of high-
ways, makes the following statement
"Agriculture is the basic industry of
this country and good roads are con-
structed primarly for the benefit of
farmers. The use of traction engines
and the driving of stock on public
highways are esential to farming and
it should therefore be manifest with-
out contradiction that any report
stating such would be prohibited,
must be untrue. No such restriction
has ever been contemplated or would
be countenanced by the department."
A CO -INCIDENCE
The following has been handed in-
to us and is surely a co -incidence:
"The war came to an end on the 11th
day of the itth month at the 11th
hour. Some one thought to look up
the lith verse in the 11th chapter of
the 11th book of the Bible. That is
1st Kings lith chapter and 11th verse,
It reads"Wherefore the Lord said unto
Solomon for as this is done of thee and
thou hast not kept my covenant and
my statutes which I have commanded
thee I will surely rend the Kingdom
from thee and give it to they servant."
This is true the Kaiser has lost his
kingdom and Ebert, his harness maker,
an especial servant rules in his place,
and as he broods with faces of starv-
ing women before his eyes, with vis-
ions of murdered- millions, the cries
of children in his ears, his world
dreams shatered and his kingdom
gone, with the shadow of his own
doom hanging over him, he may well
see the prophecy has been well ful-
filled."
TO 'IMPROVE WEST iBt;RON
The Executive 'Committee of the
West JInron Teachers' ,Association met

It was also idecieled to circularize
the trustees and teachers of the in-
spectorate offering a reward of ten
