CLINTON'S LEADING STYLE SHOPPE " JUNIOE;S< PLAY FINAL GAME LAST NIGIT Wind Up Season By Lasing '5-2 To Visiting Seaforth Team. COLTS TAKE RIPLEY SCORE 5 TO 1. Game Played In Ripley Last Night 'Seaforth Beavers Here Tomohr oar* Night. A mere handful of fans saw the local juniors absorb another defeat on Monday night when St. Marys de- feated them in the Iocal arena 8 to 1. With 'the exception of. the first pee- iod the game was rather exciting i and the local lads deserved a better fate onthe night's play. They were probably weakened by the absence from the line-up of "Riley" Johnson. St ilfiarys took a 2 -goal lead in the. first. B. Haney scored on a shot from the blue line. Neilans stuck up his hand and deflected it intothe net. He also got a nice shiner as the puck caught hint just above the eye. Before the period ended Stewart made it 2.0. „The second period had barely got under way when Wybrow made it 3-0 for St. Marys. Shortly afterwards Bruce Riley and Fairservice combined for a nice goal for the locals, Riley passing to Fairservice in front of the net. The local kids had all the playin -the last period and with any luck should at least have tied it up. Bob Draper hit the goal post on what looked like a sure goal, and the play was practically all inside the St. Marys blue line, however St. Marys lads held on. desperately and the game ended 34. Three penalties were handed out 2 to St. Marys and 1 to Clinton. Clinton—Goal, Neilans; defence, Lever, Elliott; centre; Campbell, wings, Draper, Hardy; subs, Hovey, Fairservice; Bartliff, Riley. St. Marys—Goal, J. Massey; de- fence, J. Haney, B. Massey; centro, D. Stevens; wings, Dunsieth, Stew- art; subs, Wybrow, Jackson, B. Han- ey, Medcalfe. Referee—Lavalle, St. Marys. Well the Juniors wound tip the sea- son here,lastnight with another loss. The ,opposition was furnished by Sea - forth and thescore was 5-2 for the opposition. A small crowd witnessed a rather drab game, Seaforth was 'leading 8.0 in the third period but the local kids saved a whitewash with 2 goals before the game ended. Seaforth took a lead which they never relinquished at the 4 -minute marls in the first period,' Dunlop scored the only goal of the period. Seaforth scored three more in the second, Dunlop, , Rennie and Dunlop scoring without a reply from the lo- cals. Again in the -third Kruse made it 5-0. Lever scored Clinton's first goal and Bruce Riley scored the 2nd one. The final score was 5-2 for Seaforth, The locals seemed to lack the old fighting spirit toward the end of the season, and this more' than their lack of ability kept them from finishing in a better position. The Colts played just one game this week and that was lastnight in Rip- ley, and as is their habit, they won by the : handy score of 54. Clinton led 2-0 at the encr of the first, 8-1 in the second and the final, 5-1. The goalgetters for the Colts were McKay, Streets. and. R. McEwan, one each, Cee. Holmes scored two, The "Colts were minus the services of "Timmer" MeEwan, who this week has been hugging the stove with an attack of flu or something. "Red" Rath played centre on this line and R. McEwan took over "Timmer's" left-wing dut- ies for the night, along with Holmes on right. Clinton had only nine nen dressed for the game, The Colts play here • to -morrow night with the Seaforth Beavers. Sea - forth ha a strong team having two Mitchell players on their line-up, and it isrumored they are odt to take the Colts' measure, so a real treat is in store for fans. THE MARKETS Wheat, 75c.

Express Agent Cuninghame had, nev- er had such a consignment before nor had he ever seen such animals. But he was in Toronto last week and while there visited a picture show and one of the'pictures was of a terripin race on a Florida beach. It was an amus- ing coincidence. THE W. L MET THURSDAY The Women's Institute held a busi- ness meeting last Thursday after- noon, with the president, Mrs. Mc- Kinley, in the chair. The program consisted of remin- iscent stories of the reign of our late beloved I{ing George V. The secre. tary, Mrs. W. Rozell, read the late Icing's Christmas radio messages, and Mrs. McKinley read an anony- mous poem written when the body of Queen Victoria was lying in state before burial, The regular 'reports were given and response to the roll call was giv- en by naming a city in Canada. Ar- rengements were niade to hold the social evening, which was postponed owing to the death of the King, in February, ACCIDENT AT STATION A railway smashup added to the confusion caused by storms and be- lated trains at the local station on Friday, when the Toronto train, hauled by two big engines, crashed into the rear of the Wingham-London train, which was standing at the sta. tion, doing eonsiderable damage to the coach, but no one was injured. As it was snowing and :flowing so hard as to block the view of the en- gineer, he could not seethe standing train and no doubt thought it had pulled our. Fortunately the engineer of the London train was notified of the other's approach and had start- ed to move, else the damage would. have been worse. The trains have been making slow progress for the past week, owing to . stormy weather and piled -up snowdrifts, but they have been about the only node of travel, as busses and cars have, for the most part, been laid up from long !trips. The good old railway trains can be depended upon to run, if anything can. .

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever the earth and the world were made : thou art God from everlasting, and world without end. Thou turnest man to destruction : again thou sayest, Come a- gain, ye children of men. For a thousand years in thysight are but as yesterday : seeing that is past as a watch in the night. As soon as thou scatterest them they are even as a sleep : and fade away suddenly like the grass. In the morning it is green, and growetle up : but in the evening it is cutdown, dried up, and withered. For we consume away in thy displeasure : and are afraid at thy wrathful indignation. , Thou hast set our misdeeds before thee : and our secret sin the light of thy countenance. •s in For when thou art angry aII our days are gone : we bring our years to an end, as it were a tale that is told. The days of our age are threescore years and ten; and thoueh inen. be so strong that they come to fourscore' years : yet is their strength then but labour' and 5011 ow; so soon passeth it away, and we are gone. • But who regardeth the power of thy wrath : for even thereafter as a man fearcth, so is thy displeasure. •So teach us to number our days : that we May apply our hearts ' unto wisdom. Turn thee again, 0 Lord, at the Iasi and be gracious unto thy servants. 0 satisfy us with thy mercy, and that soon : so shall we rejoice and be glad all the days of our life. Comfort us again now after the time that thou hast plagued us: and for the years within we have suffered adversity. • Shear thy servants thy work : and their children thy glory. And the glorious .majesty of the Lord our God be upon us P , prosper thou the work of our hands upon us 0 handy -work. prosper thou our LESSON -1 Cor, XV -20. Rev.' F. G. Verrill, E.A., B.D. Now is Christ risen from the dead and become ihein Ilrat sle rt, For since byhe first -fruits s o 1 by man came death, man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the first -fruits; afterward they that are Christ's, at his coin- ing. Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the king- dom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all. rule, ane allauthority, and power. For he must reign, till he hath, put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is deeth. For he :math put all things under his feet. But when he saith, ;all things are '• put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him, And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God inay be all in all. Else what shall they do which ere baptized for the dead, if the dead lyse notat all? why are they then baptized for the dead? And why stand we in jeopardy every hour? I protest by your rejoicing, which (Continued on page, 4)
