Hockey Match •
The hockey match between the boye.
of the Business College and the Y. M.
B. C. resulted in a win for the latter,
on Wedneeday evening of last week.
Owiug to the fact that' the College
boye lost one of their best players
through accident their play was some-
, what broken up. The boys of the
Y. M. B. C. had their ranks somewhat
strengthened and thus the score eight
to four. A win from the college boys
was expected after their showing in a
previous game but all signs and won-
ders fail in extreme eases. However,
look out for the W. 13. C. hopefuls in
future games. It may be added that
the Band which was in attendance
played a very important part in the
uight's proceedings, furnishing music
throughout the evening and many of
the hockey fans were out to have a
ekate to some good music, both of
which was a rare treat.
The line up was as follows.

500 BAGS POTATOES FROM 5 ACRES
W. A. CRAIG, Sarnia, Ontario, ear;
'i his year I planted 5 acres of
potatoes on clay land; applied 000
pounds Homestead Bone Black Ferti-
lizer' to the acre broadcast. The
piece . was cultivated six times and
Spring plowed. It was harvested
August 20th and yielded 500 bags line
merchantable potatoes. I have used
Homestead Fertilizer for five years
and always got good results. I would
not plant potatoes without it•"
CORN AND WHEAT DOUBLED
TIMOTHY DUNHAM, Salford, Ont-
ario, says;
"I used fifteen hundred pounds of
Homestead Bone Black .Fertilizer on
nay corn last season and was very
much pleased with the results. 1 also
used ten hundredpounde on my wheat
last Fall, and am already satisfied
that it paid me well to do it, as there
are a few spots that the drill missed
sowing, and the wheat there :en's
more than half as good. I think this
ought to be enough to convince any
person whether it pays to sow Fertil-
izer or not."

CHOOSING -OUR EMBLEM
The M4ple L.ettf
Busily working; like tw`o little bees,
Two little•beavera were' cutting down
trees,
And Ibsen little beavers were fond of
work,
At least they had never been known
'to shirk,
Said one little chap ae they paused to
rest,
"What emblem, for our lend, would
you think best"
"Let tee consider," the other one said.
As ne turned to one side .his wise
Little bead.
Let me see, let me see, well I believe,
And he mopped up his brow with his
furry brown sleeve,
"Yes brother," he said, "it is quite
my belief,
That nothing would equal the Maple
Leaf'
CITORUn
Oh the Maple Leaf, yes the Maple Leaf
We'll have none other than that grand
old leaf,
For our King and Country it stands
alway,
For justice and truth may it stand for
aye.
' Splendid Idea," the other one
said"
"We'll settle it all ere we go to our
bed,
Yoe we'll take the leaf of that dear
old tree,
Which yields the sweet eap so rich
and free.
And so over all thewide world they
know
That we are Canadians where e'er we
go;
Wo sit on the branch now, but don's
• go to sleep,
While I get my kodak, the picture to
keep."
Thus it was settled: now everyone
knows.
Jack Canuck is a beaver where ever
'he goes,
And of all our dear emblems this one
Is the chief,
The beaver upholding the Maple Irsaf.
