Erie 'near Port Stanley when the Army balloon was wrecked on Friday, and the pilots perished in the lake, seems like paying too much for the benefit to be secured. The Americans have on three recent occasions come to grief in these com- petitions. A few years ago the intrepid pilots floated across the northern part of Lake Huron and came to grief near Iiapuskasing, More recently they reached the Hudson Bay and were given up, but after a weary journey civilization was reached. ** * The Hon. Howard Ferguson has formed his cabinet and it has met gen- eral acceptance. He will now be strong enough to resist pressure from any quarter that may arise. Sir James. Whitney always had a strong major- ity, and Ontario never had as good legislation. The results obtained from the en- trance •i do examinations Y way give reason for the sweeping condemnation sometimes brought against the rural school. Those who are eager to promote consolidated schools are prone to sneer at the work done in the rural school. But the xural candidates held a very high place in the marks received. showing that the teachers were able to give in- dividual assistance to the smaller school, which was impossible in the larger.

Street car and phone service on Park Point and Gar- field avenue were put out of commis- sion several hours, by a wireless tow- er falling over the wires on the -form- er. and a huge smoke stack on those of the latter. The aerial bridge over the entrance harbor and the inter- state bridge leading to Superior, Wis., were disabled for a time, and many shade trees-were'blown down. But the -rain was badly needed and with several heavy ram falls for a few days and night afterwards the pastures and crops were immensely heuefited, and threatening forest fires quenched, Owing, however, to the dry spell previously, the hay crop will be light. The Dakotas, Minnesota'and other states in different localities have re- cently been e-cently.been struck by terrific storms of cyclonic nature with considerable loss of human life. On the evening of the 26th, a most thrilling and hair raising incident oc- curred. one seldom recorded. As some of your readers know, many of this city's thoroughfares are mighty steep. On the date in question, a young man with auto, accompanied by a lady companion, started to drive r For towards Superior street. ret. down P some reason, he lost control of the car, and down the avenue it sped, gaining speed every second, Across two lines of street car tracks it almost flew and past a number of street in- tersections, down to Superior street where it struck the curb on the lower side, then shot up in the air in a slant- ing direction, making two complete somersaults while in space; across and over the Duluth & Iron Range 'rail- road tracks without touching them, then plunged down the side of a steep ravine and stopped close to the lake short. a complete mass ofwreckage. When assistance arrived, the young $ f$ woman was trying to climb sip the 1 GENERAL OBSERVATIONS steep bank of the ravine. When offer= By W. H.'

It is claimed the car had attained a speed of 60 miles an hourmoreand so or swift the speed, onlookers could not tell whether it was occupied or not. It was a miracle all through that street cars and other vehicles and pedestrians were missed in the run- away auto's mad. flight. On 16th July, there will be a state- wide election in Minnesota to elect a Senator to fill the unexpired term of the late Knute Nelson. Gov. Preus is the Republican candidate, Magnus Johnson, the Farmer -Labor candidate, and there is also a Democrat aspirant in the field, but he night as well stay at home and do the family chores.

G. 11. Ferguson is generally commended for and complimented of his job of Cabinet making. Verily, he is a workman that needeth not to be ashamed. Of course, he had plenty of good material. to his hands. We are sure he will receive that for which he asks --"the co-operation of tie press and of'the public in order that the new Government may, without feat or favor, undertake its task." *** Hyperbole is a figure of rhetoric which means, as our Collegiate boys and girls very well know. extravagant. exaggeration, in which the imagina- tion is indulged beyond the sobriety of truth. For instance, three amen were travel- ; ling together in a railway coach. No. 1 was telling No. 2 about a wonderful dairy country in which milk flowed in rivers and butter was produced by thousands of tons. No. 2 listened with open mouth, but still he looked rather incredulous, whereupon No. 1 turned to No. 3 for confirmation. No, 3 slowly drawled out that he t couldn't say just how many thousands of tons of butter were produced, but lie did know that Squire So and So had twelve saw trills, and they all ran by buttermilk. Another instance was furnished, we are sorry to say, by a Christian min- ister. With this reverend gentleman, anything that was high, was in the top yf the dome of heaven, and anything :hat was low, was in the bot om, of the cellar of the infern- al regions. His officials were shocked by his propensity to ,exaggerate, because they felt that his usefulness was being impaired th,ere- by. So. they arranged ed a meetingwith him at which they s 1 eY o tulated with y p him keeping a tin U for 5 not kee tighter rein on g. his imagination. He is said to have answered to this effect, My dear Brethren, I am as conscious of my weakness as you are. T am more sor- ry for it than you can possibly he, I have tried in my own strength to overcome it, I have even prayed for :' liclp iof •ilia iPe grace, +buts alas, Without avail. I have mourned over it, indeed, I assure you that my grief has been so great that I have shed barrels a.if tears,. We cannot but regret that the robin has such an appetite for cherries, and that the pigeon has an equal appetite for peas. *5' The farmers are busy making hay while the sun shines. The crop is more than fairly good, and no doubt it will be saved in fine condition des- pite the fact that the weather is some- what catchy. It is a matter for thank- fulness that the hay crop is so abund- ant, for we all eat hay after it has been "turned into milk, butter and cheese, and, for those oras who are not vegetarians, into butcher's meat. Great are the transformations of na- ture. It is said that a common min - ted against each other for the Min- nesota governorship, and Preus only won by 13,000 or so out of 715,000 votes cast. When Sir Richard Cartwright Ran in Centre Huron. I see by your Ontario election'that the Farmer -Labor Coalition govern- ment was overwhelmingly defeated by the Conservatives, the latter win- ning at least 75 seats. The majority of the voters seemingly had their griev- ance and so decided. I remember a [nighty hot election in Centre Huron in 1878, as I believe. There had been a Dominion election, Sir John A. MacDonald, the then peerless chief- tain of the Conservative party; had been defeated at Kingston by a farm- er named Gunn, Sir Richard Cart- wright, a Liberal star of the first magnitude, had also received like. treatment at Napanee, Several con- stituencies were placed at Sir John's disposal. He chose one in British Columbia, as I remember it. Centre Huron was placed at Sir Richard's disposal. Horton, Liberal, who had won by 371, resigned. A short, blaz- ing hot political campaign followed. Conservatives and Liberals jumped into the fray with great enthusiasm and energy, but when the smoke' of battle was over and the ballots count- ed, it was found Sir Richard had won by 401 plurality. The majority of the voters on that occasion have since crossed the River of Death and those remaining are not now as active in limb and body, May God bless them all during the remainder of the pil- grimage through life. I was sorry to read in the Walton items of the Seaforth News of the serious illness of Wm. Hackwell, hon- ored pioneer, early settler and devout Christian. Along with his many .re- latives and friends, I trust to hear of his complete recovery to health, -ROBERT bf cNAUGHT ON. 'Duluth. Minn., June 30th, 1923, Nights of Agony come in the train of astluna.

'Owing to a late kick-off the game was finishedin darkness a few min- utes before. 9 p.m. and this made good football impossible. ' Stratford won the toss and kicked uphill, though they had the 'benefit of the fast'setting sutibehind them. Ste- wart Knox kicked off for the home eleven and made ground on the right wing only to be sent,' back by a.time- ly ,clearance by Bull. Kilgour and Andrew Fisher made off towards goalie Stewart, , but :they were no match for the hefty John Mustard, who sent the ball out to Thomson, This player drove the ball at Murray in the Stratford goal, but Ken was at the top of'form and cleared easily. Sloan and Clappison, who were playing strongly on the right for. Stratford, give a bit of;troubte to the Brucefield defense and a cross from Clappison to Kilgour permitted Kil- gour to get a kick on the goal. The goalie had no time to handle the ball, but kicked it out. Stratford eleven. was having a fair share of the game at this point but could not beat the stonewall defense of the brothers Mustard. Brucefield had a break away and forced a corner on the right which. was well taken by McIver who caus- ed Murray to fist out the ball, and another two corners resulted in suc- cession 'before Atkinson ultimately cleared, A. Fisher forcibly brought down by the right back. Not to be beaten, Clappison sent over a dandy which almost caught Stewart nap- ping. Aikinson and Brokshavv were proving a tower of strength against the eager Brucefield forwards and kept them repeatedly at bay al- though Thomson forced Rose to con- cede a corner which was easily clear- ed by Johnnie Bull, who was playing his usual strong game which we know he can do. Brucefield again forced the pace, and in a scramble Ken Murray and T. Rose collided. The referee alleg- ed lleged that Rose had handled the ball and granted a penalty to Brucefield. Strat- ford players •strongly appealed against the decision and the referee consulted his goal umpire, a local man who upheld .the referee's de- cision, and at the same time intimat- ing Baskets* more that if thereany were doubtful ds give ions he would them to the local team and on an appeal by Miley Aikinson, this um -1 pire was removed from his duties and; another appointed.
