Tuesday night the local team en - r gaged Walkerton in the last game of rahe first schedule, and while they lost,. they put up the best game of . the season ,so far. Although they didn't scoreuntil the last period, the locals had their share of chances and with •a little more 'coaching are going to be a winning .team. The garne was a real thriller.- to watch and gave the fans something. to. :cheer about. Walkerton_ have a fast team, and their players are more ex- perienced in the fine points of the .,acne. Bruder, their rover, was the (thorn in Wingham's path, scoring three goals wird always taking a lot �f watching. 13. Browne, on the home for Wingham seemed to put new life in the Wingham line-up, making a lot of 'good passes, and with a little, luck would have had several goals. Hanover 7, Wingham 3. On Friday night the Wingham La- rcrosse team went to Hanover for :heir first game in that town. The game was fast and closer than the score of 7-3 indicates. The locals should have had several more goals, but their somewhat erratic shooting when close -in resulted in their defeat, The Hanover boys dominated the first half of the game, but the more .youthful Winghamites showed up better towards the end of the garne, Marry Town and B. Browne, two of the regular players were unable to .accompany the locals, and this weak- ened the Lan considerably. After the game Tuesday night a etliscussion took place in the dressing room at the Arena, and it was learn- ed that several of the best players -could not get away to play the games out of town. Rather than carry on at part strength, it was decided it would be better to drop out of the Teague and arrange for a few exhibi- tion games, possibly .with Clinton,. 'Goderich, Stratford, Palmerston or Listowel. These towns all have La- crosse teams, andseveral of them -have asked about games with the lo- ecal team. No games have been arranged fai- nt orat time of writing, but those in charge expect to have another game in the In ear future with one of these teams, so watch for posters, and don't miss it. The Lacrosse Team are asking for .as large an attendance as possible at their games. It costs money to run the team and the boys are anxious to lkeep the game alive. Wingham used to be a good lacrosse town, and any- one who enjoyed...the game as it used to be played will enjoy Box Lacrosse ,s it is much faster and cleaner, Wingham has a team composed enostiy of young fellows, who, al- though they are not perfect in the .arts of the game, are willing and eag- er to learn, and have put up several good games this season. They have the admiration of the other teams be- cause of their clean playing and gen- tleinanliness. Come out and support -this worthy sport.

The main aim of the weekly news- paper as the name implies, is to give news of its own district. It may have other aims, such as to give the mer- chants a chance to tell of their goods in its columns or to try to influence public opinion through its editorials; but first of all it trust give the news. Some of this news is not easily ob- tained and _no editor can cover it all without assistance. Especially is this true when you have visitors. Many of the ladies think that personals are the most interesti'nto readingin the whole paper. Your visitors are glad us- ually to have theirnames ap- pear, so send thein in. Sometimes t , people conte in and give the impres- sion that they g are asking a favor when they want us to insert the names of their, friends who have been s ;endin few days, with them. No p g a y person need feel that way about giv- ingus news items for we are glad to get them all.

REILLY The present depression is not by any •means unparalleled in history, said. Professor E. ,E. Reilly, in his ad- dress to the Canadian Club on Friday night, ' October the twenty-third. Prosperity has always - seemed to come in cycles. Front earliest Bible times, through the years to the Mid- dle Ages; and right down to modern times, history tells us .of analterna- tion of periods of prosperity and per- iods of depression. In referring to the opening re- marks of the President, Dr. Red- mond, the speaker emphasized the in- terdependence of nations, • Just as no man liveth unto himself, so no nation lives to itself, and upon the well -be= ing and prosperity of each individual, community, and nation dependsthe well-being and prosperity of all. Economists have evolved many dif- ferent theories as to the cause of these periodic depressions. Some at- tribute them to a decrease in the de- mand for producers' goods. Perhaps there is an increased demand for a certain article. IVlanufacturers find it necessary to enlarge their plants to. meet this demand, railways increase their activity, there is a growing de- mand for producers' goods, and we have a period of prosperity. But ev- entually, the supply of theaforesaid certain article meets the demand, business expansion ceases, the buy- ing of producers' goods is affected, prices drop, and hard times ensue. Others ascribe these periods of de- pression to purely physical reasons, They claim that sun spots affect the. weather, the weather affects the crops, poor crops mean less to trade with, and as a result business is dull. Again, some think that financial de- pression is entirely due to the accum- ulation of wealth by large cerporat- ions, causing interruption of the steady circulation of money. All these and many other theories have been advanced as being accountable for the present economic ' situation and each probably with some degree of reason. However, certain' world ,:vents have led up to the conditions prevailing to- day, During the last century or so, Eng- land has become the foremost nation of the world commercially. Her fin- ancial gains have been invested not alone in her own country, but in oth- er countries as well. In 1911, at the beginning of the war, she had become not only the great creditor nation of the world, but also -the. great banker nation. Through the Bank of Eng- land; a, bank of banks, much of the world's business was transacted Dur- ing the next four years, 1914-18, Eng- land, whose credit was good, borrow- ed large sums of money from Unit- ed States to finance Russia, France and Italy, When England received.
