Bruce Fox pitched for Prudential as Murray Rae was away bowling, and made a very good showing. In the 6th inning Alex. Coutts was taken from the rooters' section to relieve Fox, and although he has played little ball for some time, did very well. Lediet pitched a good game for Supertest, being on- ly touched for six hits. Four home nuns helped to liven the game, the Tiffin brothers accounting for three and Brawley for the other. Supertest— .

SILVERTOWNS 12,. KITCHENER 7 On , Wednesday evening of last week Merkley's Silvertowns 'won an exhibition game of softball from a team picked from the employees of the, Goodrich factory at Kitchener. Although the game was fast, they could only play seven innings on ac- count of darkness. The local gang out -hit their opponents, having five single, 4 doubles arid one triple, com- pared with three singles for the Kit- chener team, Kitchener' started off well in the first inning, scoring two runs off "Andy" Scott, who started for Sil- vertowns. The locals filled the bases in their half of the inning, but fail- ed to score. Jardine relieved Scotty, who played, third base 'for the rest of the game, and, had the boys play- ed air -tight ball, Kitchener would have had no more runs, as Jardine held them in check very nicely, while his team-mates hit Quinn, the Kitchener twirler, consistently. Silvertowns will play a return game with this team in Kitchener on August 24th, and the boys expect to duplicate their victory. They also, will have a game here soon with the Wentworth Radio team, to whom they lost 17-16 in Kitchener. These teams are playing in fast company in their league, and it shows the cal- ibre of the Iocal boys when they can make such a good showing against them, Following is the box score of the game last Wednesday: Silvertowns-- A.B.

COSTS OF TRAVEL ARE VERY LOW Cost of .travelto eastern Quebec, the lower St. Lawrence and to re- sorts in the Maritime provinces has been deflated this summer in a fare revolution that has never been equal- led in the history of the railroads of Canada,' This reduction works out at about fare and one tenth for the round trip to any of a score of glor- ious summer centres on Canada's un- surpassed Atlantic seaboard, with proportionately reduced fares to many other desinations in eastern Quebec and the Maritime provinces, which are also in effect from stat- ions in the province of Quebec, Mont- real and West, and also in Ontario, Sudbury, Cepreol, Windsor, Sarnia 4' and East. This great concession by the rail- ways of Canada is an offer during the current month with a return :limit of 21 days excluding the date of sale from Sudbury, North Bay, Windsor, Sarnia, London, Hamilton, Toronto Ottawa and Montreal, the fare and one tenth rate is available to Ann- apolis Royal, Charlottetown, Chester, the Brasdor Lakes district, Digby and the Land of Evangeline, Freder- icton, Gaspe, Halifax, Moncton, Pic- tou, 1 iviere du Loup, .St, John, ''St. Andrew's St. Stephen, Sidney and Liked Pies tPoH TRY ONE FROM Gibson's Bakery "ALWAYS THE BEST” Light, flaky crust, brown just right, and filled with the choic- est of fresh fruits, cherries or raspberries.

This brings the seashore of three of Canada's most delightful provinc- es and the beauty spots of the Low- er St. Lawrence within the reach of the most modest purse. Canadians, too, will have the feeling that they are spending Canadian money in the confines of the Dominion where it will be accepted at par, while hotel expenses everywhere are reasonable.` Travelling from the far west of On- tario from Windsor, to take an ex- treme example, is at a cost for the return trip to Nova Scotia $45 and from Montreal is nearly half that amount. It is an opportunity that has not been offered to Canadians within a lifetime. WESTERN FAIR. SEPT. 12th TO 17th The Western Fair at London is always looked forward to by the people of Western Ontario as the biggest event of the year. People are coining to realize more and more that the more they know the 'better they are equipped to meet competition and the battle of life, and that the proper place to keep abreast of the times is the modern Exhibition with the latest develop- ment in Agri.oulture, Dairy Products, Live Stock, Manufacturing, : Commer- cial and Industrial achievements.

That he writes one million words per year, has written one hundred and thirty novels and many plays and finds time between whiles to edit a Sunday newspaper with a million cir- culation was part of the confession which Edgar Wallace made on the witness stand in London. He has offered $25,000 to anyone who can prove he has ever employed a "ghost" to write hls`works, "ang now he offers a like sum to any one who can prove all his plots and ideas don't originate in his own mass production brain. All this formed part of the evi- dence vidence in a libel suit which Wallace, brought against one Lewis Charles Glodfiam who declared Wallace crib- ' bed a plot and dialogue from 'his novel "The Lucky Fool," and made of it a successful play, "The Calen- dar." Goldflam sent a letter to the newspapers and theatrical people de- claring that Wallace was a "mean cribber" and one who had cribbed all he regvtred from the "Lucky Pool" to make up "The Calendar". Wallace in his evidence, said actual- ly he wrote "The Calendar" in four days at the request of Sir Gerald. Damaurier two years before Gold- flam's novel was published. Part of it he scribbled on the back of tele- graph forams in Berlin and produced i;eaaaascript to prove it. FLEECED OF SAYINGS Cartildettee Game Worked on Toronto Shoemaker. Nicholas Kowalski, a Toronto shoe- maker, fell victim to a time - worn "con gunie" worked from coast to Coast. Two men walked into his store. Beth were well dressed, and pretend- ed to be strangers. One of the men inquired for a Dr. Bull. He said his father had robbed the doctor of $10,- 000,went west, and through good hack in investments, made $100,000. Wpm his death, he asked that the doctor be located and paid back the money. In the event of his not be- ing found, the money was to be dis- tributed in, Toronto to charity.. The flimflam trick was for each of the men to make deposits of $250 as a bond of good faith that they would help dispose of $10,000 for a reason- able cash consideration. Kowalski sought time to go to the bank and draw his money. A meeting was ar- ranged and Kowalski handed over his $250. He was then asked to go on an errand. When he returned the two strangers were gone, and so were liowalski's savings. THE BOON OF HEALTH .About Half time Siekness Is Prevent- able, Doctor Beli=eves. The value of health is realized to some degree,. at least, by every think- ing individual. Eut not everybody bas i ,m r:nation ensu,,th to appreciate the tremendous monetary loss to the t•atiee caused by sickness and deaths front intense. The loss to the nation rcpreseated by tho deaths from pre - s— nt:lbie diseases yearly is estimated by lir. Gordon Bates at more than a billion dollars and the- loss due to cleknens, of which 45 to 60 per cent., is preventable, at $300,000,000. The upkeep of our hospitals, sanitoria and asylums costs $50,000,000 yearly and the buildings and equipment involv- ed an investment of $200,000,000. During the four years of the great war the names of 160,000 Canadian soldiers appeared on the list of wounded, the number including some mon several times. Yet on any given day across the Dominion no less than 180,000 Canadian citizens are tem- porarily disabled because of sicknoss. •—I"rotn the Toronto Star. NORriAANS IN (`ANAOA. French and English. In Domninien Have Common Origin. r Irour - fifths of French - Canadiaas ere of Norman blood, being ueeeen- eients of the very Normans who it 1056 conquered Britain. Dr, Braille Vaillanoourt, of the University of Caen, Prance, submitted this argu- ment in a lecture at Montreal. Re explained that originally there were 1,250 individuals from Normandy who took part in the •Conquest of Canada following the discovery by Jacques Cartier. Of this number 1,150 were nie.n and the remainder women, They had 501 descendants: In the following generation, and no- eording to Dr, Vaillaneourt, who is a noted historian, the progeny of these families form the ; majority of Preach -Canadians, or' Canadians, to. day.

It is not advisable to allow the oats, peas and vetch crop to wilt more than two or three hours be- fore ensiling. Adding water to oats, peas and vetches does not improve the qual- ity of ensilage. Oats, peas and vetches put into the silo without cutting will produce ensilage which is mouldy and not fit for feed. The length of time in storage ap- pears to have no adverse 'effect on oats, peas and vetch ensilage. Lots kept in separte test siloes through periods of three, seven and nine months, respectively, at the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, gave excellent ensilage. The length of time in storage apparently having -no adverse effect on the material. The young man seated in the den- tist's chair wore a marvellous shirt of striped silk and an even more wonderful check suit. He also wore the vacant stare that so often goes with both. "I'm afraid to give him gas," the dentist murmured to his assistant. "Why?" asked the assistant, "Well," said the dentist "how shall I know when he's unconscious?" Jobs are scarce in China, the sarne as everywhere else, as this applica- tion for a stenographic position at- tests: "Sir -I am Wong. I can drive a typewriter with great noise and my English is great. My last job has left itself from me for the good rea- son that the large man has dead. It was no fault of mine, so, honorable sire, what about it? If I can be of big use to you I will arive at some. date that you should guess." * * Mother was telling Frank how to, behave at the party. "Now," she said, "if they pass the cake a second time you must say, 'No Thanks, I've had plenty,' and don't you forget it." All went well with Frank until the hostess said, kindly, "Won't you have another piece of cake?" "No. thanks, I've had enough, and don't you forget it," was the aston- ishin greply. * * * * While awaiting at a suburban sta- tion for a train to London a travell- er was surprised to see the station master lining up all the porters alork the edge of the platform, Presently a non-stop main -line train thundered through the station.
