Ds and Belgrave R. A. Da. The weather was rather chilly for fast baseball, but the usual brand was very much in evidence. McCallum twirler of Belgrave was knocked off the rubber in two innings. "Red" Anderson's second three base hit chasing him to the bench, Geddes who succeeded himfared no better and was relieved by "Spider" Stone' house, a product of Wingham Univer• city. Spider pitched good ball but his tremendous spend was too much for the catcher, so he gave way to "Dad', Watson, the one time star of the Northern Michigan League. By the use of hie gravity drop, he held the visitors in the hollow of his good right band for the remainder of the game. The N, B. D. twirlers looked all alike to Belgrave and the result, was a triple massacre, Cook, Nethery and Coultis being the victims. Buchanan made a brilliant play on a long drive, running clear to the fence and catch• ing the ball on first bounce. The visiting infield was very fast, while the shining star for the locals, was first baseman "Tim" Jordon, A few bonehead plays were made by Geddes, Dunbar and Tasker and a bum stop by McCallum on a low pitch• ed ball in the last inning. Umpire Redmond called time for a few minutes in order to sneeze. He claimed the game was so slow, that he caught cold, The game ended in a victory for the R. A. Ds., the score being 9-11.

The 21th. of May was celebrate& in Bluevale by a gathering at the ceme- tery for the purpose of making some improvements. The hearty response to their invitation by the good men and women of Bluevale and surround- ing country was very gratifying to the members of the Women's Institute and the .:emetry trustees under whose auspices the work is being done. The l.srge number who attended made a decided improvement in the appear. ante of the cemetery during the after- noon and the work is to be completed immediately by the use of the funds which the Women's Institute has on hand for that purpose.

They all have an opea, irregular mesh and give the effect of a floral pattern joined by cords, They are offered in all-over, in flounces, bands of insertions, add ifi a bewilder- ing variety of berthas, stoles and collars, Cluny is a moderately heavy lace In cobweb patterns. The mesh, when closely examined, shows a combin- ation of squares,and circles, Spanish ;ace is seen but little, and of all the silk laces Chantily seems to be enjoying the largest vogue. It comes in both cream and black, and in exaggerated fruit and flower. pat- terns. ' The mesh of, Chantilly shows tiny, fine circles overlaid with the design. Incidentally, _nedallipns and motifs, are interchangeable terms, meaning detached, complete lace patterns usually small in size and conventional in treatment. Galoon is an irregular insertion so finished at both edges that it can be •set on the material and not. into it. Terieriffe lace,' which is really Mexi- can drawn work, or' its imitation in machine=made goods, can be recog- nized by its ever-present wheel pat- tern. The French Valenciennes, which for many centuries appeared In the form of insertion and edging only, is enjoying a decided revival because it is now offered in double width all- over, which makes up admirably into gowns. There are two grades of Valencien- nes, the German and the Platte. The German shows a large mesh, the Platte a fine, diamond-shaped mesh. The latter is the more expensive lace. Mechlin lace has many of the charac- teristics of Valenciennes,'but is more silky in texture. Point' de Paris is an imitation GI' Duchess lace. Lierre lace gives the effect 'of a very find thread lace embroidered on a fine net in floradi design. Tlie pattern is straight and stiff, generally running perpendicu:ar on the flounce and giv- ing iving the effect of long stems on' the flowers. It comes in all:over, ill in. sertion and in edgink: Valenciennes and'Teneriffe lace are sometimes combined in the form of a square, with a Teneriffe wheel 'in the centre, and the Valenciennes pit - tern filling out the edges of the square. The two nets used most generally for the foundation of evening gowns are Brussels and filet. Brussels net is rather heavy with a round or oval mesh. It can carry a heavy weight in applique lace. Scarfs, fans, etc., are offered in Venetian lace, Bonito'', Brussels, Duchesse, rose point, Brudges, Mal- tese, and Irish point. It docs not pay to buy au article like this in imita- tion lace. Thiene of real lace will last not only a lifetime, but they can be handed down through many escaa- tions Homeseekers Special Train Leaves Toronto 10.45 p.m. Each Tuesday Commencing June 1, 15 For the accommodation of Homeseek- ers' and general tourist traffic to Western Canada, through train carrying Tourist Sleepers and Colonist Cars will commenc- ng June 1st, leave Toronto 10;43 p m. each Tuesday until further notice, running through to Winnipeg.

Murphy, Dis- rl;ct Passenger Agent, Toronto. A tick seems smart enough to know ..hat he will find more tender and lulu pasturage on a lamb than on an eld sheep, but ticks annoy sheep of •tny age. In order to be sure that one has a dip that will be effective, he should nix up a sample according to direr• tions and test it on a few isolated ticks to see if it does actually cause Beath or only temporary unconscious- ness. Many of the dips are not standardized and, even when made up in the solution as directed, will not be found to be strong enough to kill licks. If warns water is used in mak- ing the dip it will penetrate to the akin better. Many fleeces. are so oily that cold water can scarcely make its way through them. One should take great care to see that the sheep is entirely immersed In the dip and that it is kept there for • of least one and better two min- utes. To simply let the sheep walk through the dip. In great haste does not ordinarily produce very good re- sults. A forked stick or a broom can often be used to advantage in keeping the sheep under the dip. Sheep should be dipped a second time in about ten days after the first dipping. This Is because the dip will not kill ticks in the embryo or egg term. On any sheep there are likely to be a great many eggs and these developing will make good foundation ttock for another crop of ticks un• less they are killed by the second dipOsten • - Rural Mail Stops Stage.

Red Cross Needs Money, We are in receipt from the Red Cross of a circular, telling of the ur- as owing gent need for money, g to the large number of Canadian wound- ed the supply of bandages and ni terial will soon be exhausted.

The Etomological Branch of the De- partment of Agriculture has just sued Bulletin No. 9, on the Army- worm, rmyworm, prepared by Mr. Arthur Gib- son, Chief Assistant Etomologiet, who bas charge of inveetigations oa insects affecting Held crops. In this publication of 34 pages a full descript- ion is given of the remarkable out- break- of this notorious caterpillar which occured in Eastern. Canada in 1914, The recent outbreak was the most severe of any which occured in Canada, and the damage done is esti. mated at $300,000, five•sixths of which took place in the province of Ontario, The value of the trenching method of control was amply demonstrated. No matter how big the advancing army worms were, it was shown that crops could be saved from their ravages. In the bulletin the insect is described in all it stages, and methods are given. A. full discussion ie included on the life —history and habits of the worm, its food plants, natural enemies etc. The bulletin has 19 useful illustrations, several ut which show clearly the dig. ging of proper trenches and the results obtained in controlling the worms. Copies of this bulletin may be obtained free of charge on application to the Chief of Publications Branch, Depart- ment of Agriculture, Ottawa.

JELLICOE A BOXER In the British army and navy the great game of boxing has long been the most popular sport of both officers and men, Perhaps a majority of the officers and tars of the British navy to -day are clever boxers, but, age and weight considered, there isn't a better natio gladiator in His Majesty's navy who can give a better account of himself than Vice -Admiral Sir John Jellicoe, the commander of the North Seat fleet. The admiral has passed his fifty-fifth milestone, but he is still active and strong and fond of a stiff bout with the mitts. In his younger days the little sea fighter—he is only five feet four inches in height—was the bantamweight champion of the British navy. Stories of his, flstic prowess are still current, and it is said that ,he scored nia.ny victories over lightweights and welter- weights. In those days "Jelly," as he was popularly called, always entered the ring a favorite. At Rottingdean, where he received his land education, he was a famous -football player, al- though he weighed only about :15 pounds. Through his fondness for strenuous sports he developed a constitution which was strong enough to bring him through many perils on sea and land, and without which he would never have lived' to reach the high honors he holds to -day. e E ILED TENDERS addressed to the under- signed, and endorsed "Tender for Supply- ing coal for the Dominion Buildings," will bo received at this office until 4 p m., on Thurs- day, June 17, 1915, for the supply of coal for the Pub ioBuildings throughout tho Dominion Combined specidoat[on and from of tender can be obtained on application at this office end from the caretakers of the different Dominion Builoit,gs.

HUNTING TFIE SNIPERS Concealed Germans Macre It Uncom- fortable For British Outposts Writing to London Answers Private S. Benneson of the 2nd Manchester Regiment tells of a hunt for German sharpshooters. We relieved a company in the trenches, and our officer picked six men and a corporal and sent us over to a farm about fifty yards away, he says. We were to reconnoitre, and to see if there were any snipers anywhere about. We looked everywhere, but found none, so it was decided to leave us on guard, and to post a double sentry every two hours to watch for snipers. I had my two hours with a chum, and went into the farmhouse, where 1 thought I would have. a wash and a shave, because I had a nice .ittlo beard through having missed shaving for ten days.. When I got inside I was surprised to find some people there, hidden away in a kind of underground cellar. There were some children, and four of the people were very old men, who could hardly walk. When we told them that we were friends, they made us coffee, and I had the luxury of hot shaving water. But I had hardly commenced shaving when a shot rang out, and a bullet went whizzing past the gate. After that, anyone who passed near the stews was shot at bya sniper, who g Y P , was hidden away somewhere. The people tried to tell us where, but we couldn't understand them, so we sent (or our officer, who managed to reach us under cover of a trench, and he at last made out from the people that two Germans had been in a loft all night and had fired shots at us every now and again. We found that their last hiding- place was the top of a haystack. They must have seen that we svere after them, however, because when we reached the hayst"ek we discovered tl.oir knives, helmets, bayonets, eta; but they had lett in a hurry.
