IRWIN' FOR QUALITY MERCHANDISE COMMUNITY PLATE SEAFORTH BEAVERS SET BACK BY COLTS GAME WITNESSED BY CAPACITY' CROWD, MOSTLY CLINTON Even standing room was az d prem- ium 'for the , Colts -Beaver game in Seaforth Tuesday night. Spectators were hanging front the . rafters as every likely vantage spot was quickly snapped up by a record crowd, many of them from Clinton. All many could;' say was "Well, at least I was there." Those who could watch the play saw • a closely contested game as the s core would indicate. The score by periods was 1-0, 2-2, 4-3. The game was played on soft ice and prevented any brilliant exhibition' of hockey. It was skate and check all the way. and penalties were costly, Seaforth scored the first goal while' Foster was in the box, Farmer Mc- Faddin getting the' honours. Pickett came through for the Colts after .12 minutes of play in the second period to knot the count while A. Hildebrand was serving time. Two minutes later -Flannery shot, the Beavers into the lead again only to have Punch Mc - Ewan rap home the tying counter as- sisted by Young, just two minutes be- fore the period ended. The teams were deadlocked for 11 minutes of the final frame. Hubert got the nod for intentionally roughing Foster, and -while he was serving his sentence Grant slapped home the goal that put the Colts in the lead once more. A couple of minutes later however, G. Hildebrand tied the count at three -all. Hubert aided unwillingly in Clinton's winning goal. Young's goal credits Archie with an assist as the puck jumped off his stick into the opposite corner of the net from where Stade was crouched. The win puts the Colts up at the head of the class as they have two games in hand. In nine starts they have lost but once, and that to Sea - forth in the opening• game of the season. Seaforth has played eleven games and lost three, twice to Clinton and once to New Hamburg. Next week's calendar is full for the Colts. Tomorrow night they go to New Hamburg, wiEh the return engage- ment here Monday night. Wednesday night the Colts and Beavers meet again at Goderich. Friday night the Perths play here, THE HOME PAPER The .Farmers' Market • Wheat 69. Oats 36, Barley, 55. Buckwheat, 52. Cream 30, 29. Eggs 18, 15, .14 13, 12. Hogs $8.85. Freak Lily Mr. S. G. Castle has something of a novelty in the way of a double Calla lily. This lily has two blooms on one stalk, one ;midway down the stem. The bloom at the top of the stalk is rather unusual. While it is plainly a well -formed lily it is streak- ed with green as if part of the stalk had been used to fdrm the flower.

Miss Audrey Butler read the address and Mrs. J. R. But- ler presented the gifts. During a I social half-hour following the busi- ness session, lunch was served.

The London lads are in group A. and a big hard hitting bunch. The ice was not of the best and consequently the usual flashy passing plays of the locals was lacking. The game ended 3-1 in favor of the Londoners. On Friday night in a regular league game. Exeter received a 15-1 drubbing from the locals and Monday night Goderich met the same fate to the tune of 18-2 at the local arena. Just before going to press we are informed the return game with Lon- don which was to have been played here tonight has been cancelled. An outbreak of measles in the London camp is responsible for the change of plans. Are There Evergreen Birch Trees in Clinton?

Therefore we would appreciate any information regarding them or any other trees of importance grow- ing here so that we might pass the information along. And here's a tip for our Park Com- mittee.
