A REMINDER Mother nature last Friday night by turning off the Hydro power from great portion of Western Ontario, jogged the memories arfd prodded the pride of men. Some time ago, on the occasion of the launching of the Titanic a great Toronto editor informed his readers that “we have conquered the sea. It remains for us to conquer the air.” Scarcely were his words dry when the noble vessel thunder­ ed on an iceberg as any bit of jet­ sam or floatsan in existence. The sea has not been mastered. Nor has there been anything like a conquest made of the air. Still less has electricity been brought to heel. This wonderful servant of man still remains its own master. In the tenth of a second it breaks through the- best mechanism made for its control. It still laughs at all human harness. And what a calamity when it does break through its bounds! The surgeon is arrested in his work of mercy. The banker must give over his calculations. House­ holds grope about like blind men. The frigidaire systems that protect the food of a city become useless. Traffic in city and country alike is held up. News stops midway in its transmission. The clock of civilizat­ ion is turned back fifty years. Proud man is stayed in his march forward. Why should the spirit of man be so proud when in an incalcuable period of time his whole activity may be arrested and he left helplessly con­ templating his insufficiency? It is well for all to be reminded that we are in continuous depend­ ence upon a living God* without whose aid no one lives. There is no room for hatred or for boasting. There is ample occas­ ion every hour for huipility, ' for good will and far gratitude. AN EDITOR’S TROUBLES (Ridgetown Dominion) Sometimes we wonder what’s the use? When we are feeling out of sorts and do things just any old way —nine times out of ten we get away with it. Then when we try to brace up and have things just |’ight, some one throws a, monkey wrench into the cogwheels ahd puts things on the blink, It was one of these mon­ key wrench throwers that made us express joy last week that ,Tack Bawden was progressing towards an attack of blood poisoning. We didn’t write it that way. We had seen Jack in London and were feeling quite cheerful because he was “re­ covering from” an attack of blood poisoning. The aforsaid monkey wrench knocked out a couple of cogs -—and there you are! There is a .silver lining to most clouds and this is no exception. We feel certain Mr. Bawden got a grin out of it, and it is through things like th!.? that we find out if the paper is .read or not. ’It is! tI Staff a Tournament Won by Home Team SOFTBALL HONORS GO TO BRUCEFIELD GIRLS Despite the threatening weather the Stafl'a ball team held a success­ ful tournament on Wednesday after­ noon, the first honors of the day be­ ing carried off by the home ^team. The weather was quite warm an(l it was feared rain would halt the pro­ ceedings at times. However it held off and the day was a big success; Refreshment booths on the grounds catered to the wants of the large crowd. Staffa Wi»s First From Exeter 10-3 The first game of the tournament was played between Staffa and Exe­ ter, whch game the former won by a 10-2 score. Coward started in the box for Staffa owing to the absence of Siidwell who later relieved him. Both pitchers went well, allowing Exeter only three scant hits. L. Tie­ man hurled them over for the losers and was hit quite freely by the hea­ vy-clouting Staffa nine. The game, a seven inning affair lost interest after the first few innings, Exeter being completely outclassed and committing several misplays toward the end of the game which aided the winners to run up the score still higher. The batteries:— for Exeter, Tie­ man and Tayloj’; for Staffa, Cow­ ard, Sidwell and Reid. CREDITOR* LOSES TO HENS ALL 6—2 IN SECOND GAME The Crecliton nine were put out of the picture in the second game when they met and were defeated by the Hensail Redshirts by a 6-2 score. Gibbons was on the mound for the Creditonians and took ample time in serving them up. He did not prove very effective being- touched up regularly. Brintnell went the first five innings in the box for the winners when he was replaced by Cantelon who finished the game. Both allowed a few hits but man­ aged to keep them well scattered and at no time was their lead in much danger. It was a better game to watch than the first, the contest­ ing teams seeming more evenly matched. The batteries:—for Crediton, Gib­ bons and D. Fahner; for Hensall, Brintnell, Cantelon and L. Horton. FINAL AND BEST GAME GOES TO HOME TEAM 7—6 What was undoubtedly the best game of the day was played by the winning teams, namely Staffa and Hensall, the former winnig the clos­ ely contested 9-inning affair by a 7-6 score. The game was anything but a pitcher’s duel and was featur­ ed by a galaxy of heavy hitting on both sides. Gascho, the Hensall 1st sacker, secured the only homer of the tournament when he sent a hot liner to right field that got past Reid and went through the fence. For -the winners iShier and Pervos were the heaviest ciouters. Coward took up the hurling duties for the home team but he was touched for safe’bingles so freely that he retired in favor of Sidwell who finished for Staffa. Brintnell again started in the box for Hensall but the hard- slugging opposition proved too much for him and he was relieved by B. Horton who proved more effective. The losers were the victim of a bad decision at third which would have tied the score. The base ump­ ire could not see the play and called the runner out, hut the umpire at the plate, who saw the play, stated afterwards that the runner was per­ fectly safe. The batteries:—For Staffa, Cow­ ard, Sidwell and Herberts; for Hen­ sall, Brintnell, B. Horton and L Horton. Mr. Hugh Berry, umpired at the plate and gave everyone a square deal. K. Drake umpired the bases. SOFTBALL HONORS GO TO BRUCEFIELD GIRLS 0—8 An interesting game of softball was played between the second and final hard ball games between the Brucefield and Staffa girls, the for­ mer team winning by the score of 9-3. Both teams put up a good fight but the visitors had a decided edge. The winners made a very pleasing spectacle’in their smart blue and white uniforms. The 'batteries:—For Brucefield, Janet Aikenhead and Hazel Houke; for Staffa, Clara Ell­ iott and Grace Houghton. , FOR ART ONLY Maw—-“Our Nellie writes home from boarding school that she’s int- by that name.” Paw—“You tell her I say to let the fellers alone. She’s there to learn and hot to have a good time.’ TRY THIS ONE Grocer—“How is it that the pot­ atoes you sold me last week were so small at the bottom of the basket, and so large on the top?” Farmer—“Well, potatoes is grow­ ing so fast now that by the time I get a basketful dug, the last om- is about twice the size of the first ones.” AILSA CRAIG FIRE CAUSES BIG LOSS United Farmers’ Planing Mill and other Buildings Burned Fire broke out at 7:55 a. m. on Thursday, August 2nd caused by the back-firing of a gasoline engine op­ erating a saw in the planing mill at Ailsa Craig of the United Farmers, Co-Operative Company, destroyed the mill and two other buildings and caused damage estimated to be between $17,000 and $20,000. The Ailsa Craig citizens by the score hastened to aid < the volunteer fire fighting brigade, but a serious delay of 17 minutes was caused when dirt in the water pump of the local eng­ ine clogged it. Emergency calls were sent in to Parkhill and Lucan and the engines from those centres res­ ponded, making the runs at a speed slightly under a mile a minute. The blaze was the first serious one in Ailsa Craig since the conflageration on the afternoon of Monday, May 7, 19 23, when 5 residences and 12 places of business were razed by the most disastrous ^fire in the history of the community. The following are the buildings razed: Planing Mill, owned by U. F. O., containing lum­ ber, with lumber stored outside also; a lumber and coal shed; a seed and feed storage house, owned by Mrs. Hay and rented to the U. F. O.
