Mrs. Kipp is Secretary of Medical Missions for the W.M.S. throughout Canada and has' had a wide experience in the building and managing of the mission hospitals, She gave a vivid picture of how these hospitals min- istered to the needs of the people on thefrontiers of Canada and how they influence for good the national life of the people. She spoke particularly of the new hospital at Hearst, Ont., which is a great asset to that min- ing community, Greetings from Presbytery were brought by Rev. Gale of Bayfield who congratulated the ladies on their fine attendance and year's accomplish- ments. , Several musical numbers by the "Emmanuel Evangelistic Band," a quartette of young men who were vis- iting in the district, were greatly ap- preciated, as was also a chorus by the Exeter Mission Band.

Unfortunately these, hop- es were rudely crashed to the ground because of two clubs, 'Lucknow and Kincardine, who wouldn't play with the other clubs. The Sepoy manage- ment took it on themselves to phone Goderich at 7.15 on the night of the meeting and• had them rush a repre- sentative up to Port Elgin and enter a team. This brought about a 12 -club league, 8 class B clubs and 4 class A. The other class B. clubs, Hanover, Chesley, Walkerton and Port, would not consider a B group alone but very generously voted Wingham into a group with the aforementioned small clubs and voted themselves into an interlocking schedule with the A, clubs, the real drawing cards of the league. In other words, these eight clubs eat. the ,pie and Wingham gets any crumbs left on the plate, if any, Our guess is that the club will lose money this year, just for the sake of keeping Lucknow in the league. It isn't hard to see what effect the above arrangements will have on both fans and players. The boys turned in their best ball. against strong clubs last year and already have lost most of their enthusiasm before the season has even started. The feeling of most fans appears to be one of disgust. Just what is going to draw the fans out to see Lucknow or Kincardine twice is hard to imagine. Ditto Goderich, if the Sailors don't round up a good club. Below will be found the Hur- ons' schedule. May 31—Wingham at Lucknow. June 5—Goderich at Wingham. 11—Lucknow at Wingham. 15—Kincardine at Wingham. 21—Wingham at Goderich. July 1—Wingham at Kincardine. 4—Lucknow at Wingham. 10—Wingham at Lucknow. 17—Wingham at Goderich. 18—Wingham at Lucknow. 23—Goderich at Wingham. 30—Kincardine at Wingham. SOFTBALL Midgets Win at Goderich 1.8 - 12 The local Midget Softball team journeyed to Goderich on Monday and took the Goderich Texas Rangers in- to camp by the score of 18-12.

THE KING'S SPEECH The following is the text of the King's radio address on Monday, to the people of the Empire. At the close of this memorable day I must speak to my people every- where.' Yeti how can I express what is in my heart. As I 'passed this morning through che.rring multitudes to and from St. Pahl':: Cathedral, as I thought there of all that these 25'years had brought to the . and my country and my Em- pire, how could I fail to be most deeply moved? Words cannot express my thoughts and feelings. I can only :say to you, my very dear people, that the Queen and I thank you from the depth of our hearts for all the loyalty and, may I say,the love• with which this day and always you have surrounded its, • I dedicate myself anew to your ser- vice for the years that may still be given to tne. 1 'look back 611 the past with thankfulness to God. My people and I have come through great' trials and difficulties together. They are not over. In tate midst' of these' days of rejoicing 1 grieve to think of the nuni- hers of my people who 'still are with- out work. • We owe to' them: and not least to those suffering from any forst of dis- - the c tm t er t all tl e s ytnl atkiy and .help we can give to them. I hope that during'.this jubilee year all who can Will do their utmost to find diem work and bring tbcin hope. Other anxieties May be iii store, but I am persuaded that with God's help they may all be overcome ,if we meet them with confidence, courage and unity, so I look forward to the future with faith and hope. It is to the young that the .future- belongs. uturebelon s. 1 trust that through the fund inaugurated through my dear son, the Prince of 'Wales, to commemorate this year, many of them throughout this country may be helped in body, ntiiid and character to become useful cit- izens. To the children I would like to send a special message. Let ane say this to each of those whom my words may reach: "The King is speaking to you. I ask you to remember that in days to come you will be citizens of a great Empire. As you grow .up always keep this thought before you, and when the time comes be ready and proud to give to your country the service of your work, - your mind and your heart." I have been greatly touched by all of the greetings which have come to me to -day from my Dominions and colonies, from India and frons this home country. My heart goes out to all who may be listening to me now, wherever you may be, either here at home, in town or village, or in some far off corner of the Empire, or may be on the high seas; Let me end these words to you with those that Queen Victoria used after her diamond jubilee, 38 years ago No words cou]d more truly or simply express y own deep feelings: "From my heart I thank niy beloved people, and may God bless them."

Makes Own Tractor. Chester Doubledce, well known Minto Township farmer and enter- tainer, has turned his attention to manufacturing farm machinery and on his farm on the .Fordwich Road may be seen in operation, as evidence of his engineering skill in the form of a farm tractor manufactured from a truck motor and parts of discarded farm machinery. The machine is re- ported to have abundance of power and operates smoothly and upon being exhibited in Harriston was proclaim- ed a most satisfactory and serviceable piece of machinery. A famous professor presiding over a Cambridge dinner recently, said: "At this table Wordsworth once was drunk, at this table Porson was once sober, and I who ani a greater scholar than Wordsworth and a better poet than Porson, stand here betwixt and between." On a mid-July afternoon a man in Chicago was grumbling about the heat. Said another who had just re- turned from a trip through the South: "Hot? Boy, you don't know What hot is. One day this week down in Miss- issippi I saw a dog chasing a cat and both were walking." Scroggs—"Our courtship began in a most romantic manner.

Boggs—"I notice you never go into the water now." Scroggs—"No; I'm would save ine again." a not sure she It was a fairly busy time in the outfitting department when a little boy entered, and, approaching the counter, asked the clerk for "a soft man's collar." The clerk smiled and the customers laughed. Pointing to his owncollar, which happened to be a soft one, the clerk. said, "You mean one like this, son- ny?" "No," replied the boy. "I want a clean one." Tramp—"Lady, I'm a sick man. A nice doctor gave me some medicine, and I would like to ask you to give me something to take it with." Lady—"You would like a spoon and a glass of water, I suppose?" Tramp—"No, mum; not that. The doctor said I was to take the medi- cine after meals, an' I thought you might contribute the meal." A man complained to the local post - piaster because of the failure to de- liver a letter improperly addressed.. "Now, suppose," he continued, "I ad- dressed a letter to the "Biggest Dumbell in Christendom," what would you do toward delivering it?" "I should simply mark it, 'Return to Sender,' " replied the postmaster. VINIMINIROMaIMMOMIMity You bet. Goes much frrther, too; and wears like iron. You'll find that it pays to use the best.
