But he completes this year his thirty-seventh year in school work in Nashville. He is now super- intendent of schools; having forty schools under his care. His work is something like that of an inspector, only involves more responsibility, as all the teachers are engaged and all promotions are made through hie office. He is as interested in it, however, after nearly forty years of it, as if it were 'a new job. ]tlr, Reyes, with his -wife and daughter. bas been visiting his sis- ters in Varna, making the journey over by motor. E%ETEli WON HERE Clinton and Exeter played a game of H. L. baseball on the local dia- mond on Friday evening which re- sulted in a win for the visitors in a score of 7-5. Clinton scored three runs in the first inning, the visitors only getting one, and at the end of the fourth the score stood 5-2 in favour of the home team and it looked as if they might have an easy victory. But in the last three innings, darkness end- ing the game et the end of the sev- enth, the visitors woke up and pet their best foot before to spelt an ex- tent that they made five rutins, keep- ing the home team down to their for- mes store. O'Brien of Zurich, behind the bat. handed out fair rulings, as 'did Thorndyke at the bases.

The Clinton softball team will meet a team, from Detroit at Bayfield on Saturday. This should be . a game worth seeing as the Detroit team is one of the best in Detroit. Clinton.. has proved that they panhold their. own as thei,defeated Pori Muer and: held the Lbiidon C,N:R;- to a 10-10 tie. Belgrave and Exeter will play a sudden death game on the Clinton: diamond on Monday, the 18th, al C30 pat. EARLY PUMPKINS - The heat of this summer and the lack of rain brought on all sorts of grain, vegetables and fruit very. quickly and harvesting was a couple o£ee w ]cs earlier ,than usual. As 'ev- idence of this Mies. D. Steep picked some ripe pumpkins last .week. It is early to be eating fresh pumpkin pie but few will refuse a piece of - nice, fat pumpkin pie at any season. ASSISTANT PROMiOTED - Mr. A. M. Barr, who has been as- sistant agricutlural representative in Huron the past4couple of months; since ,the close of the O.A.C., has been appointed as representative to Granville County, with headquarters at Kempville, and left Tuesday to take over his new duties. Mr: Barr had -made a number of friends dur- ing his short stay in Huron, both in Clinton and the county, and his re- moval is regretted, although it is a step up for him. Mr. Barr is a Lanark County boy and hie new duties take him within fifty miles of his own, home. At time of going to press no new appointment has-been made to the offioe here. AMONG THE CHURCHES Presbyterian Churoh Union services with Ontario street church. The' minister's morn- ing' subject will be: "Things Un- seen." Evening:. "Man's Greatest Need." Wesley -Willis United Church Rey. J. E. Hogg will oecwpy his own pulpit on 'Sunday, both morning and evening. Rev. Mr. Poulter of Varna preach- ed very acceptably on Sunday, Mr. Hogg taking anniversary services on his chaz'ge, At the morning service Mr. -Norman Murch, of Toronto, a former citizen, rendered a couple of solos which were much enjoyed by the congregation. The W. M. S. meets this evening at eight o'clock in the church lecture room. DRESS REFORM FOR MEN - 11Mr. Kahrs of Tilsonburg, "evan- gelist of the gospel of good health," aa he styles himself, accompanied by his wife, passed through Clinton on Tuesday on the way to Kincardine. They attracted some attention, es- pecially Mr. Kahrs, who was dres- sed in shorts, n short -sleeved shirt, straw hat and shoes. Mrs, Kahrs was not so conspicuous, of course, as she did not appear much different from other tdbmen, except that she wears no hose. But we have had some stockingless girls in Clinton and nobody minds theist much, ex- cept the hosiery manufacturers. Mr. Kahrs, however, did not make nearly such a hit as he would have had he appeared a week earlier. Had he arrived one of those swelter- ing days we had last week he would probably have made a number of converts. HELPING HOME MISSIONS The folowing, front the New Otit- look, refers to a well-known and Pop- ular Huroniant. Rev. W. M. Mustard, B.A., B.D., of Scarboro Bluffs United Church, Toronto, is -doing a real piece of Home Mission work this summer, and his congregation is also doing their share, Mr. Mustard has gone to supply the vacant field of Nipa- win in the -;Prince Albert Presbytery, Sask., for July, and August. July is his own holiday month and the con- gregation is willing that he be ab- sent for August also and have un- dertaken the supply of his pulpit for that month. Mx. Mustard went all. the way to Saskatchewan in his own motor and is giving 'these two months' service -without any cost to the Board of Ifoute Missions. Would it not be a fine thing if sonte.other young tninisters in the East were to make this kind of a contribution to Home Missions next summer? LITTLE LOCALS The A: T.
