McKenzie has discover, ed peat on his farm in Hullett just east of. town, There are about ten or twelve acres and an averagedepth of six feet. Most of usknow that the people in the British Isles still use peatas fuel iil'their homes and Mr. McKenzie does not think there is enough peat for fuel purposes and he purposes putting it on the market as a litter fpr poultry, lasting much longer than straw and is more econ- omical. The peat, when dried thor- oughly will also make good packing for florists when making shipments. At present Mr. MrKenzie's venture is only in the experimental stage. He has shipped several lots of the peat and the clay found beneath it to Ot- tawa for analysis. The late Mr. Sam Brown knew there was peat on the farm but he did not think it of any commercial use. We wish sue,. cess to Mr. McKenzie in the new industry. MARRIED IN YUMA, ARIZ. We made brief mention Iast week of the marriage ,of a former 'Clinton boy.

CHURCH ARMY CRUSADERS Clinton had an opportunity on Sat, urday and Sunday last of hearing the Crusaders, members of the Church Army, an organization in the Church of England. They gave a splendid meeting on the Library Park. There were six young men under the leadership of Captain All- sop. They sang several well-known hymns and several members of the group spoke about the work of the Church Arm Theyalso Army. a took k part in the service Sunday morning in St. Paul's Church. The Church Army was founded fifty-one years ago in England by Prebendry Carlyle, because he saw and felt the necessity of the church going to the people. Hitherto the church had waited for the people to come there. Since its beginning the Church Army has grown to large proportions. The Army huts were very efficient and very popular dur- ing the war. They provided a good deal of recreation for the military army. Ai group of Crusaders were sent out to Canada ten years ago. They made a rather extensive tour of the Dominion. The outcome of the tour was the organization of the 'Chum?) Army in Canada under Captain Coes, ey. At the present time there is training school for the Crusaders in Toronto. Here they are instructed so that they can become evangelists in the Church of England. There are twenty-seven graduates of the school, The Church Army also does consider-) able social• service work in Toronto especially among the . unemployed young men. The seven young men who visited Clinton had completed 450 miles of the 700 they had mapped out for them in the spring. They had tramp., ed from Auburn to Clinton on Sat- urday and on Sunday afternoon left for Varna and Bayfield.

The Sailors opened the scoring with one run in their first batting effort. The Knitters tied the score in their first, Hawkins lifting the ball beyond the outfield for a homier. in the third innings the Hub, town nine got two across the plate on an error, when Ross pitched a bit wide to second base and Xenon. ald could not hold it, and third and second base runners slipped home. Wearwell accounted for three in the third, which put them one up, and from then on they continued to ani crease their lead. Sensational plays were numerous. In the Knitters' fourth frame Haw. kins came to bat with the bases full and on the third strike, banged the ball for another homer, bring- ing all four across the plate. Liver- more did the home -run act too, er. rocs in fielding by the Sailors' first and second baseman featuring in the play. A sensational catch and accurate throw to second by Pick- ett in left field, got both batter and first base runner for two outs. Splendid support in the field kept the battery in good humor through; out the game The 'Sailors, though outclassed in field work, did some fine batting and at tines .Carrick's left shoots were puzzling to the bomesters, but it was decidedly Clinton's game.
