The Game,at Clinton
The Clinton New Era has ,the fol-
lowing to say of the hockey. match
between Clinton and Wingham .on
Wednesday evening last:
"Wednesday evening the . Clinton
Juniors won the first game of the N.
H. L. semi-final group against Wing -
ham by a score of 6-2 and the north-
ern boys were lucky to get the 2.
The visitors had some real good in-
dividual ,players but it ended there
they played no combination and the
Clinton boys went at then hard and
between combination and solo work
had the visitors stepping all the time
to keep up. In the face off Higgins
got the puck and scored from a side
shot and in. another five minutes Jack
Mutch scored in a scramble in front
of the goal. The Wingham goalie
had a lot pf shots to turn aside. The
second period was nearly exhibition
of 'shinny and' neither sides scored.
The final period, Higgins_ got No. 3
with a shot from centre and Rorke
rolled in two goals on solo rushes
that dazzled the Wingham defence.
Harrison got Wingham's first goal in
a scramble with Nediger off, when
he .kicked the puck in the net. To
even up' the count Cole made a solo
rush- .and scored No. 6 goal. Wing -
ham's and goal came off Higgins
stick in a scrimmage in front of the
goal. C. Draper, refereed the game,
as the official referee could" not get
here on account of the blockade, and
kept the game well in hand and only
one penalty was given in the whole
game. The line up was:—
Wingham—Bell, goal; Lockridge
and Patterson defence; Harrison, cen-
tre; Morden wings; ir:; Drown and... _.---_-• Ma-

PROVINCE FACES ,SIG BEE
PROBLEM
The agricultural committee of Leg-
islation h'el'd its organization meeting
on Wedaresday, Feb. 20 and elected
N. W. T'rewartha, South Huron as
chairman,. FIon. J. S. Martin indicat-
ed •some of the matters which are
likely to be included in the commit-
tee's program. He referred to the
visit of James E. Johnson, of Norfolk
to the British fruit markets and sug-
gested that he be asked to address the
committee Pater.
The minister also reported on the
investigation of the overseas honey
market made by President Halstead,
of the Beekeepers' Association, and
discussed' the situation in regard to
the foul brood menace to Ontario
apiaries The. federal. Government.
has discontinued its grant of $5,000
toward fighting this disease and dis-
cussion arose over,the advisability of
increasing the provincial assistance,
at present- •$9,o00. Mr. Martin sug-
gested that apiariests register with
agricultural representatives.
E. R. Wigle, Centre Huron,, said
that assessors in his county reported
on apiaries, and other members sug-
gested the plan might be extended,
but the minister thought assessors
were complaining about too much
work now. '
D. J. Taylor, North Grey proposed
that the province offer in addition to
$9,000 a sunt of $2090 for each $1,000
the Beekeepers' Association should
raise. Mr. Martin agreed with the
principle, but thought the association
should have ample notice.
Mr. Wigle moved that the president
of the association be asked to address
the next meeting on Friday of this
week.
