TWO CLEVER STUDENTS Two young Goderieh Collegiate students, William and James Suth- erland, grandsons of the late William Coats, County Registrar, have trade a very _ creditable showing in their recent examination:;. The former wor the Maurice Cody Seholarship, worth $125 and four years' tuition, quali- fied for a scholarship in classics won the Hugh Innes Strang Memorial, 8125 and four years' tuition, and the Robert McKay Memorial, $200 cash. James won the first alumni scholar- ship, $100 and four years' tuition and also received the Hugh L Strangscholarship, which was not awarded last year, carrying $125 and four years' tuition. Both young nen will enter the University this fall, VERSATILE CLERGYMEN Rev, Harvey Cclelough cP West Hill and Rev. Frank Herman of Bolton motored up this week and spent a couple of days visiting in the oldtown. They are both hard -welters in their pariehes but they never miss a chance td carne back to visit the old scenes. While they have been serving the Church of England , as parish priests for several years they both began their careers in printing. offices, the former in The Netvs.Record office. the latter in The New Era, and both learned the art of printing so well that they might be able to conte itt and take a hand even yet if we happened to be stuck for a type set- ter. The story is told, and we do not doubt the truth of it, that a few years ago in a small town up in Not- tawasaga when a weekly newspaper changed kande, the new owner not being a praetieal printer, was in a bad fix when his foreman quit him e}• cold and these two English Chet clergymen, one being resident in the town and the ether having a parish nearby. turned in and got out an Mt ition of the paper. Ministers frequently feel that they could run a newspaper much bette" than the publisher does and here these two had the opportunity of try- ing their hands. They no doubt turned out a good issue, but they both stuck to their perishes over since. It was a nice, neighborly act, however and was. we feel sure, much appre- iated by the harrassed publisher. GIRLS WIN Strathroy girls demonstrated their uperior skill at softball on Friday vening winning from the Weal team the final of three games played. The first game was played at Grand end and won by the Strathroy nine, he next game was contested in Strathroy and Clinton girls ;von de- isively, making fourteen runs and almost blanking their opponents, tvhe ouly,sueceeded in getting two. The teams being tied, a third game was required to decide time winner and or the toss of a coin Clinton won and the game was played .an the local diamond Friday evening. Both teams played well and fans NV given a good exhibition of lsoft- aII. The score, 9.8 in favor of the isiting nine, indicates the play throughout. Both teams are strong on the iteher's mound. Norma Streets de- livers hot ones with the left while V. righam tosses with the right. K. Bourne, the visitors' second ase, had a nasty tumble crossing the once plate in scoring. She ran into e Clinton catcher and sustained a Teased left knee. She gamely car- ed on, however. The game was ailed at the end of the fifth as day- ght failed.

On Friday last it was de- cided to amputate the foot in an ef- fort to save his life, but as he is ad- vanced in years, this was a shock to i.ie system and also failed to stop the spread of the trouble and his case is very serious at the present time.
