Although many "had their seeding done before the de­ luge came, there were still plenty who needed fair weather to finish seeding. 'The rain was so heavy that creeks ■rose rapidly and-the flats south of the town were inundated. A man on horse- T>ack rescued some cows that got mar- ■■ooned. Pools of water lay* on the •fields and in hilly places much dam­ age was done by water washing the- lulls out in spots. Scalding was pre­ vented, to a great extent, by the cool weather that followed the rains, but a good hot day on top of the moisture would have caused great damage. The-thunder storm on Sunday af­ ternoon and evening was local as in some places near here no water fell. The farmers could stand some steady warm weather now as there lias been plenty of moisture for the time being. Read Greer’s Ad—and see the full line of Sport Shoes at Greer’s.

BALL CLUB STARTS PLAY ON SATURDAY Play in Hanover Saturday and Owen Sound Next Wednesday, First Home Game Here With South­ ampton on June 8th. Manager Omar Haselgrove has had very little chance to get the ball club into shape due to so much wet wea­ ther. However, he hopes that the club will have a few more work-outs before they journey to Hanover on Saturday for the first game of the season. The infield will present a considerable change from last year. It looks as if the first-base job will go to Fred Mellor, but that is not official. Len Nichol will be a new face on second. Bart Smith will, no doubt, do duty at short as he did last year, and for third base there is another new man, Clare Neirgarth, also Bill Lediet, who has been hitting balls around the park for a long time. “Tuddy” Tiffjn may be back on the job and there may be oth­ er changes, In the outfield the reliable Ken Somers will be at centre, Jack Cook will fill in one of the pasture positions. The Other fielding position will be fill­ ed by Bob Chalmers, George Johnson or some other member of the club, “Bob” Groves will do the receiving, and last year he was as good as there was in the league, so this position is well looked after. On the mound the club have Bob Bridgeford, Hal. Pet­ erson and Bill Groves. Bob has been laid up and Hal has not had much practice as yet. It may be that the junior member of the staff, Bill Grov­ es, will start off the season. Next Wednesday the club go to Owen Sound and'on Saturday next week Southampton play here.

Special prayers for this purpose were given in all local churches and many lands not a part of our Empire also turned their faces upward in prayers for a victory for the' Allies. It is a flhifig. thing that in a time of crisis, Such as we are now passing through, the people of the Christian nations should turn to God with their prayers. Throughout the democratic countries people have been able to follow the beliefs and dictates of their own hearts without interfer­ ence. Not so in the dictatorship coun­ tries. There they must do the will of those in power. ’It is little wonder that. the. people of the Empire took part so heartily in the Empire Day of Prayer as asked by our King. 3 Big Nights of Dancing Tues., June 4th; Tues., June 11th; Tues., June 18th, at Cedar Crescent Casino, Port Elgin.
