Blyth took an 11-'7 lead into the final inning, scoring two in the first, three in the second, four in the fourth and two in the sixth. Wingham's rally in the sev- enth started when Bruce Skinn drew a walk and Tommy Lee followed up with a two-run homer. Donnie Murray then walked and scored Bobby La- Rose's single. Blyth cooled the threat, putting the next two out but Jeff Lockridge started it again when he walked. Roger Tiffin, running for LaRose, scored the tying run on Bill Hil- bert's single and Doug Leitch knocked in the tie-breaker as Lockridge scored on his single. Lee;•D.

More than 500 farmers are expected to be on hand to check their crop yields against test trials being shown at the W O. A. S. Soil & Crop Days, July 12, 13, 14th. Past management is a big factor affecting present day yields, according to Dr. C. S. Baldwin, head of the Soils Di- vision at W. 0. A. S. "If your yields are low, by all means start a new (management) pro- gram to bring them up to a pro- fitable level," he advises. Dr. Baldwin points out that corn yields in particular respond well to nitrogen fertilizer. Ro- tations, too, are by no means out of date. Besides the yield benefits, rotations can help week and insect control pro- grams and spread the farm work load more evenly through the year. Plan now to attend one of the W. O. A. S. Soil & Crop Days, July 12, 13, 14th. Each day there will be guided tours covering weed and insect con- trol trials, row width and var- iety trials, and fertility tests. The program will start at 1;30 D.S.T. and tractor trains will leave from the livestock pa- vilion at regular intervals from 1:30 to 4:30 D.S.T. each day.

Team mates are kidding Linda Aitchison, who always claims she can't play ball with her father watching. However she turned in her one poor inn- ing while father was at home to get her glasses. 1867 was a time for humor, too All the news of 1867 wasn't about Confederation. For ex- ample, the Nova Scotian, a weekly newspaper, included the following item in the same is- sue in which it reported the Confederation story: A funny story is going the rounds in Paris: A lady in the first society was recently oblig- ed to dismiss her nurse on ac- count of an excess of firemen and private soldiers too often repeated. After choosing as a successor to this criminal a very pretty girl, the lady explained why the first was sent away, and enjoined it on the second not to do likewise, She admitted that she should not. "I can endure a great deal, " said the lady, "but soldiers about the kitchen I won't endure." After a week or eight days, the lady came one morning into the kitchen, opened a cupboard, and dis- covered a youthful military character. "Oh, ma'am!" cried the girl, frightened, "I give you my word I never saw that soldier before in all my life; he must have been one of the old ones left over by the other girl!" That 100-year-old joke prob- ably wasn't even new then! Mr. L. Kennedy was in Tor- onto last week on business which will put the Wingham Picture House into the very front rank. One of the greatest projecting machines known to the moving picture world has been installed. With this machine there is no flicker on the curtaip. - Wing- ham Advance, 1913.
