Goderieh threw a scare into aie Scotch camp in the fleet period, when they had the count 34. In the se- eond stanza, though, the Seaforthe came back apd added four, while' the Sailors anchored only one in the net, knotting up the playoff, Seaforth was much better on the end, and ran in three quick goals after Goderich had gone ahead with one counter. The game was atoms, except for the rough ' stuff pulled all too frequently by Al- lan Reid. The ice was very sticky, and handicapped the players greatly as regards puck carrying and stick - handling.

SHOULD BE EASY TO GET The problem of obtaining revenue stamps which are required on all cheques, receipts for $10.00 and over, notes, etc., is one which seerns to be confronting citizens of town and coin, - =ray all the thne. The only places in Clinton where these stamps can be obtained, and ift you are doing busi- ness at all you must have them, are the customs office and the banks. The customs office is open from tert to four the banks froten -to three and on dfrom ten onlY until one. Ordin- ary folk do a lot of business before and after these hours, yet you menet .buy a revenue stamp before or aftee these hours and you cannot issue a legal cheque, note or receipt for the sum of $10 without such a stamp. There is no reason -why the postoffice should not sell these stamps. The people are paying the tax, the con- venience of the people should be Con- sidered in the collection of it.
