In loving memory of Mrs. Wm. Ab-
-ralia.m, who died May 7th., 1922.
Two years has.passed
• B tstill iere miss her.
Friends may think the wound is healed
But they little know the sorrow
Lies vyititin our hearts concealed.
. The flowers we lay upon her grave
May wither and decay 1
But the love of her who sleeps beneath
Will never fade away. I
Sad. and sudden was the call.
Of mother, dearly loved by all;
Het memory still is ever dear,
For oft we shed a silent tear;'
Time cannot alter love so true,
'Two years brings back our grief anew.

Rgde Rural Rhyme$
• Arbor Day
We farmers ought to use our land
the way the Great Creator planned.
He spread His valleys like a floor and
added humus more and, more, The
higher lands not much tilted were al-
so fertilized and silted. For husband-
ry He gave those fields, repaying toil
with fruitful yields. But other spots
He set an edge and filled with boulder
and with ledge, He says to man by
every sign, "This rough and rugged
land is mine. Here will 1 repine at

idly arranged provisions. Should at the trees. Though you may drive yogi -
happen, for instance, that the Umpire strong plows through it, yet you shall
chosen to officiate on a particular oc-
casion, fails to turn up, a very cap-
able and trustworthy substitute can be
readily and speedily found. Should,
moreover, one or two members of ei-
ther or both contending teams called
upon to do battle, be unavoidably de-
tained elsewhere, on supposedly more
important matters—though such sure-
ly cannot exist, or anyway have no
right to exist, eager reserves will be
on hand to fill the gaps.
We are pleased to be able to advise
that all our teams are meantime over-
manned; balls are fairly plentiful; and
equipment adequate. Nothing, there-,
fore, as we have said, save interdict-
ing weathet can, interfere competently
with the steady march of our schedul-
ed games. The weather, however, has
already exposed a cold and rather wet
shoulder to our schedule. On Satur-,
day, after noon its conduct was simply
outrageous, and on Monday hig-ht, al-
though its manners evidenced im-
provement, it was still hostile though
not quite so unfriendly. So heavy
was the rain on Saturday afternoon
that the game between the Factories
and the Independants was called off.
For the sake of a little practice, how-
ever, the teams .,agreed to play a two -
innings game. The second innings
had not proceded far however, when"
the disgruntled Unipire, Scottie For-
bes, though thoroughly inured to
scotch mists, found the Canadian rain
then descending. quite too disagree-
able a thing to be exposed to, and.
more out of compassion for the player
rs than a regard for his own comfort,
(we willingly give him, credit for this)
called the game.
On Monday night the same teams,
in a drizzling rain fought a four inn-
ings bout; the Independants retiring
winners by a score of four to one.
This game, of course counts.
Now, it walk- be hardly fair to
criticise this game, or the players who
took part in it. The elements were
decidedly adverse, and in consequence,
good play impossible. We content
ourselves by -saying that the Indepen-
dants are an extremely fast bunch,
and once they get properly going,
will not be easily stopped. The Fac-
tories while not so fast have certainly
a good battery. Frank McLean as a
seasoned' Catcher was all -there, and
Brooks pitching, was on the whole of
a very high order, indeed his pitching
was quite a revelation to some 'of us.
The teams were as follows:
Factories—Batteries— Brooks and
McLean, ist base, Angus; 2nd base,
Sturdy; 3rd base, Walker; short stop,
Mitchell, outfields, Johnston, IVIcGill-
vray. and VanWyck.
Independants—B atteries— Joh nston
and Rae, ist base, McKibbon;
base, Rae; 3rd base, Mitchell; short
stop, Harrison; outfields, Sonirners,
McFadden and Howard.
Umpires—Sherbondy and I-Iowson.
