TM GAME AT : CENTRALIA ( The most interesting game of ball this season was played at Centralia on Friday, evening last when Exeter met Centralia in a league fixture. Tb.ey played six innings to a tie to the tune of 13 all. Exeter got away to a good start scoring 10 runs in the first two innings. Hanlon, in the box proved easY for the Exeter bat- ters was fOreed to anda retire in the third innings with a score of 11-3 in Exeter's favor. Dundas, a new ratan was brought in for Centralia and proved a stumbling block to the innings In the second w visitors_ t in with g i Witwer in the box, the umpire got in wrong with the fans on a seeming balk ball. Centralia had a pian on third. As the pitcher was about to deliver the ball the umpire asked Ihim to step back into the box. The i pitcher, being young at the game, stopped todo as the umpire told him creating a balk on which the fans thought the runner should score but it was not the fault of the pitcher Witwer was. going strong until his arm gave out at the end of the se- cond innings when Harness was call- ed upon to relieve him. Harness had hard luck in the fourth. His catcher was a little weak, with three amen on bases the catcher dropped the ball on -the third strike. The catcher thinking the batter was not out threw the ball to first and threw it wild v'ith.the result that the three men on bases as well as the batter crossed the plate. Harry Bowden, for Centralia:, the youngest man on .the field was easily the star of the game. He fields nice and uses his head very strong for a youngster, Unfortunately he was forced to retire in the game through being hit by a pitched ball' when batting. Several Centralia players, misiudged the ball and stepped in front of the plate only to be hit by an out curve. Some of the Centralia fans admitted afterwards that some of the players got a 'base on dead balls when they should have been called strikes. As for the umpire's decisions on strikes and balls both batteries were satis- fied. The managers and fans on both sides took the game more to heart than the players who had very little to say. .The line up was as follows; Exeter, Ford 4; Harness 3: Rus- sel 1; Witwer 2: Heaman 0: Hind 1; Hardy 0; Lawson 1: i tatham 1; Centralia -Anderson 1; McCurdy 2; H. Bowden 1: Hanlon 1; Steele F. Bowden 3; U. Hill 3; T. Hill 1; Dundas 1.

It was a real walk away for the Evangelicls the score being too big to relate. SCORE 5-4 FAVOR EXETER Quite an interesting game of base- ball was played on the Exeter dia- mond on Tuesday evening. A picked team from Usborne township came in and gave our ball players quite a tussell. The game was keen competi- tion and quite interesting all the way through. At the beginning of the ganie the Usborne team managed to get the lead, but the game concluded with the Exeter boys one run ahead with an innings to spare. After the game the visitors were treated to refreshments. Following is the line up: Usborne-Balfour 2: McCurdy 1; Pincombe 0; Shier 1; Johns 0; Hun -I ter 0; Heywood 0; Fletcher 0; Shute 0) .

SOUTH HURON LIBERALS MEM AT kfhNSA L LOOKED BETTER The franchise act, delays in hold- ing by-elections, lack of tariff reform ;treatment given. returned soldiers 'press censorship and government ex- travagance came in for severe crib cisco at the live enthusiastic Liberal gathering held in the town hall, lIen- sail, on Friday afternoon. South Huron Liberals front every section of the provincial and domin- ion ridings were on hand in numbers to give voice to the new and vigorous Liberalism that is rapidlysweeping g from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The meeting was representative of the Liberal Association as constituted for both provincial and dominion matters and the ring of the speeches by W. G. Charlton of Aylmer secret- ary-treasurer ecretary-treasurer of the Western Ontario Liberal Association, and of Wm, Proudfoot, M.P.P., of Goderich was indicative .of the new vigor and life which the meeting displayed. Officers for dominion and provincial associa- tions were elected for the year, and also sub -division chairman and dele- gates to go to Ottawa and the Toron- to Liberal Conventions. Stiff Resolutions l Resolutions were passed unani- i mously demanding: VN'7l`ii'1' NEVER, 1, A just franchise. 2.

I daresay each year is lateclt the sante as every other year, but I don't think the country • in summer ever looked better to me than it does just now. It almost seems as if all past springs were merely rehearsals for the perfect pageant of growth that is now filling the fields. Never be- fore has the folliage seemed so fresh and luxuriant, never before has the hirdsong been so joyous and never before have the .perfect days been so carefree. And all this at the time when unrest and discontent among human beings are at their very highest- The papers tell us how the high cost of living and the wage scale are chasing each other to dizzy heights, and how strikes are paralyizing the work of the country. It seems like strange news out here in the country. About the wage problem we no longer know anything, for the last hired man known in captivity went away to take a job in a munitions plant years ago.. Or course the high cost of living touches us -but "if pov- erty conies on us we will kill a hen." As I look about me on the farm I can see all the essentials of food, shelter and clothing -the crops, the woodlot, the sheep ---so why should we worry if law and order are maintained? That sounds rather selfish, I know, but how can o ne sympathize very much with troubles that are due to the fact that a majority of the people want to live in cities and make their liv- ings in ways that their own struggles are making impossible.

The deputation was told by Sir Adam that during the war the com- mission. bad refrained from exten- sive operations but that the whole question of hydro -radial develope- ment would have to be gone into in the near future, and that when that time carie Huron's needs would be fully considered and receive. attention Much work of a data collecting na- ture and of surveys had been done already in the county which would serve as guides for the actions of the commission in carrying out future de- velopement work. Sir Adam dwelt on the great work and the splendid financial -results accomplished through the electrifying .of the Port Stanley road and predicted similar results from wcrk clone along the seine line in Huron. The business of the delegation was opened and briefly outlined by Chair- man Laporte, who told Sir Adam that the committee had been named by the Huron County Council at it's last meeting to present the needs of a portion of the County in regard to - transportation. "It is" said Mr. Laporte, "beeause we believe that the hydro -radial is 'the true remedy for our trouble that we come here to -day.

Scldon, grain merchant at Exeter, sued William T. Colwill, a farrier at Centralia, over a transa.c- tion that had already been before the , Court. In May, 1917, the defend- ant sold to plaintiff some 2,000 bushels of wheat which the plaintiff resold to the Crown Milling Co. at. Luca,n. Plaintiff paid Colwill $4,- ' 935.30 for 2007 bushels of wheat, but afterward the milling company ; claimed to have received only 1897 i bushels. Plaintiff sued the company i for full amount but Inst both in the i County Court and on appeal. Plain- t tiff then entered action against Cot - will for the price of the 110 bushels short, also for his costs of action against the Crown Milling Co. The jury returned a verdict for the plain- tiff for $2S0.50 and costs. W. Proudfoot, K. C., and F. W. Gladman for Plaintiff. J. 13. MoKiilon (Lon- don) and C. Garrow for defeedant. William Johnston, cf Blyth. sued Abdelh Bros., of 31. Thomas. for al- leged loss resulting from the ship- ment of a car load of potatoes to the defendants in November. 1918. The plaintiff claimed that he had sold the potatoes at $1.38 per beef. a, b. oars at: Belgrave, but when the car (519 bags) reached St. 'Phonies the de- fentlanth refused to accept them and claimed there was no agreement to purchase.
