Smith of the Farmer's Sun, in which îe referred to the finances of the Province under the Whitney Government, the debt of"which had now reached 32 million dol- ars. Unless more economy was exercis- èd by the present government the speaker speaker predicted it would be forced to send Provincial Tax Gatherers thru the country country to collect a direct tax from the people. In this connection he referred in scathing terms to the absolute waste of the government government in their "gift" of $185,000 in the Pembroke Lumber Deal and the million dollar Government House. To offset these useless expenditures false economy has been indulged in by reducing school grants 28 per cent. Reference was also made to the alliance between the liquor interests and the government and The petition of 6000 young Conservatives to submit a referendum to the people on the question of abolishing the bar, in which Mr. N.

Tyrone football team held Bowmanville to a tie i-i, on the former's field Tuesday evening.; Town bovs, who had a slight advantage in the first half, secured the only goal in this period thru a misdirected misdirected kick by Collacutt which bounced passed passed Scott. Second half P. Werry scored for Tyrone on a comer kick. Neither team could break the tie altho Tyrone pressed hard but were well looked after by Bowmanville defence. Some followers of baseball do not care to watch a game where there is a small score. Such fans got their heart's desire Saturday afternoon at Agricultural Park when Newcastle and Town played the opening game in the Town League» Space will not permit telling in detail the actions of the players thruout . the afternoon. Suffice it to say that the game was in doubt until the final innings when New castle won out by the narrow margin of two runs. As the auditors have not presented presented their report of runs, hits, errors, etc., we trust the above information wil be satisfactory. It just took the Solina football team an hour to show the local boys what little they (Bowmanville) knew about soccer Thursday afternoon, it being the firs ; game in the Darlington League. The Eldadites have the best aggregation o players they have corailed since the League was formed, and if the Anderson Clothing Co. Cup isn't resting on Pascoe's mantelpiece by Dominion Day some other team will be to blame. Considering Considering this was the first game of the season and neither team had had much practice the play was clean and at times some good combination and defensive work was indulged in. Dr. C.
