;; .WINGBAM SPORT
For many years Wingham's Sport-
Spirit has beet boisterously alive
i'or many years each succeeding Eas
ter has witnessed the formation of a
Baseball team, spendidly qualified to,
uphold Winghana's traditions in what
eoever; circuit, it was called upon to
de • battle.
This year, however, our Sport -Spir-
it has beencaught nappieg, stud has
fej allowed itselfto be switched on to
the down -grade. Its journey along
rr,r. this perilous track mast be antereept-
ed; t;Jiee brakes must he immediately
applied; and e• reverse motion stimu-
lated, The impetus- require'd to en-
able the Spirit to ride back to the.
point where the ewitch stood against
it will have to be extremely forceful,
and once the right track is regained,
IN the handicap of a late Start has still
to be reckoned with. This handicap
is, we find insurmountable,
Late
starts are on no account permitted in
inter -town or County Baseball Lea-
gues. ,Wingham's chance to again
distinguish itself in any such league
this season has gone by the board.
Otir Sport Spirit, however, though it
aha has tottered to a fall cannot be held
down. It still possesses sufficient
®
' resiliency to. be able to. bob up again,
ritisnore or less serenely; even though in
so doing it reveals creases of which
itshould be mightily ashamed.
Debarred from contests with neigh-
bouring rivals, therefore, Wingham
Sports have determined. to direct their
in energies to the. formation. of a Town
in Hard and Soft Ball League. This is
is now in process of formation, and is
expected to comprise five Hard and
® six Soft 'Ball : teams. Excellently.
in promising material has been acquired
is unearthed, discovered or otherwise
obtained or" collected for these teams,
lrl and a„schedule, of games will
® ttblished.. g soon' be
n
s It isexpected ofthe Sporting
.li i Pub -
i s c of Wingham that it will do what.
ni it can, . (which is usually a lot) . to.
support : andencourage the various
® 'teams in their friendly bolo's. The
migames it is believed will be fiercely,
nd spiritedly contested. Every gen
®' tleman in the teams, however, and
el there will be none other, `will be ob-
liged. to remember his high 'calling,.
and will, we understand he reminded
of it by the presiding Umpire, ewe pre-
sume) on every occasion immediately
before taking the field.
Record Trophies have 'been, pro-
tnised°by some of our leading, citizens..
Our very good' friend, Mr. Hamilton
has pledged himself to donate a Silver
Cup, and we. have .no doubt that our,
energetic and evide-awalee Publicity
Agent will shortly be able to an-
nounce other donations once he be-
gins soliciting.
Now,we are assured that there is
absolutely no possible probable sha-
dow. of doubt but that all the games.,
will prove fascinatelyinteresting, and
tremendously exciting,
Any Winghamite sport lover who
wilfully absents him or herself from
any game on the schedule, will, b'y so
doinggather g r a reputation that:will,Be
very far indeed from being an -envi-
able' one.

Senator Hoax's most recent suet-''
dote is as follows: Among the guests
at the house on. the banks of the Pot -
emac, where a party of friends are
spending the warm weather, is a dear
!laic woman whose sole thought is
.he,. betterment of a .home for poor
children that is located but a stones
.brow fromrher summer abode. One
evening her husband, who delights to
tease, remarked: "By the way,,Agnes
Fellread in the paper today that a Mr.
Fell had died and left all he possess-
ed to the Bell'Home,” '
:Oh, how " lovely!" exclaimed his
spouse. ".How much was it?" And
that shameless fooler of trusting wo-
then said, impressively, "Twelve chit-
hien."

A 'Disappointing Experiment
Enough has. transpired to convince
those who pinned their faith on the
U,F.O, as a political force, that they
who thought they should not 'endeav-
or to .form a government were wise.
Certainly the experiment in Ontario
has been disappointing to many who
were persuaded by agitators that the
old parties were corrupt and negli-
gent of the public interest and that
government by untried but • holiest
men would usher in an era ,of
•
econ--
omy and righteousness.. Amillion
dollars or more was spent o"h Com-
missions by. the U,F.O.—Labor. gov-
ernment with a view te• unearthing
scandals to besmirch the Conserva-
tive government which itesupplanted,
but without success. In spiteof the.
charges made against the party which
went .out of power at Ottawa in 192x,:
nothing has been unearthed there .to
show mismanagement, let alone 'mal
feasance. It may be presumed , that
if there were any chance of doing so
the Liberals who succeeded, with their
Progressive allies, would not be ad-
verse from making the attempt. It
must be disheartening to the many
honest and fervent believers in the
U.F.O. as a regenerating influence to
find that some of those whom 'they
trusted have been negligent through
indifference, incompetent through in-
experience or venal through cupidity.
—Kincardine Review.
THE EARLY BIRDS
(Written for the Advance -Times)
As . I watched a little robin
On my lawn the other day,
In the early•inorning hours,
Ere the dew had dried away,
I could see an aiar of business
As he tripped across the green,
Looking in the shady clover
Where the early worms are seen,
Soon he spied his hidden treasure,
Seized it quickly as his prey,
And with one determined . effort
Tried to hear his prize away,
But he could not weigh the anchor,
he
Though r'
g tried all his strength
Ti1L he stretched the little cable
Nearly half a foot in length.
Bravely the little ie -
breart
To
secure a. firma
rri
g n>
But the moment he would slacken
Back to earth his prize would slip,
I was guessing at the outcome
When a sparrow hopping by
Saw at once the situation,
And. he winked his other eye.
Waiting till the honest robin
Raised his treasure up to view,
Then as, swiftly as an arrow
To the spot the bandit •flew,
In a moment all was over,
Just a wriggle and a squirm,
And a disappointed robin,
For the sparrow had the •worm.

the men who went through the terribly

that my legs swelled up, making it i
possible for me to wally. My bowels
were so constipated that I was in terri-
