ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO WRECK, THRESHING MACHINE On Wednesday of last week while threshing was in progress on the farm of Mr. Hugh Berry, of Us- borne, a number of cultivator feet were found wrapped in sacks and embedded in the sheaves in an at tempt to wreck the threshing ma chine. Fortunately only long straw was being threshed; had the cutting box been in operation the damage would have been much more serious. The threshing machine belonged to Mr. Joseph Creery. For several years now a similai* dastardly at tempt has been made to wreck the machine of Mr. Chester Gorvett. Mr, Berry had intended using Mr. Qor- vett’s machine but at the last mom ent changed for Mr. Berry's, Last year an attempt was made to wreck the threshing machine on. the farm of Horne Bros., Zion. Horne Bros, have since offered one thpusand dollars for information leading to the arrest of the guilty party. The work has been going on for so long now that it is about time the pro vincial authorities were giving the mattei* serious attention, On the Sunday evening previous the evaparator in the sugar bush Mr. Berry was destroyed by fire., I -...-- __- We Can Help You to See Better Our method of testing is mo«| complete and our prices moderate.

This will be the last ball game in Exeter. Clinton eliminated Gode rich in the semi-finals and will meet Exeter in the finals. Come out to see the finish. The Exeter baseball tucked away the first game of the finals in the Huron League by de feating the Clinton team in Clinton Tuesday afternoon. Clinton quali fied for the finals by defeating Gode rich in the semi-finals. The return game will be played in Exeter Fri day afternoon at 4:30. *The mer chants of town have decided to close their places of business Friday at 5 o’clock .in order to give everyone a ch&fice to see the game. These coming to town for shopping might come in a little earlier and stay over for the play-off. At Clinton Tuesday afternoon the Exeter boys were right up on the bit and determined to win. They batted the ball all over the lot and when it came to fielding they work ed like clockwork. Lawson had the Clinton batters eating out of his hand. With such a combination h'ow could they help but win. L. Tieman. at five times to bat made four sin gles and a two-bagger. Reg. Tay lor’s batting average went up when out of five times to bat he made 2 two-base hits and singles. The first innings for Exeter was a heart- breaker for the home team. Eleven men faced the pitcher and with hard h” and bad throws seven runs Cx.Obced the plate. After the first innings Clinton settled down and for the next six innings it was tight ball and a good game to watch with plenty of thrills for the spectators. Clinton scored one run in the first, third and sixth. The last two in nings for the Exetei* team was an other batting spree and when the last man was put out a total of sev enteen runs had been chalked up for the visitors. A fairly good crowd was present to see the game. A num ber of fans went up from town. The final game will be played Friday af ternoon and should Clinton win a sudden death game will be played on neutral ground. This will be the last chance to see a game of ball in Exetei* this year. Weather conditions have affected nearly every game play/d in Exeter this year. On Tuesday rained in Exeter but the weather was fine in Clinton. ing for fine weather Friday after noon and a good crowd. Come to see the finish.
