milton on saturday minute walters certainly had an off day yesterday it is seldom indeed that minute turns in a game like that but when he realized he wasnt at his best he promptly went off the field and no persuasion could have him remain in the game it was rather peculiar that george town should enter a protest against the hlfisburg players when the decision made little or no difference to their standing in the league but then there are a lot of peculiar things that have happened in the committee rooms of the halton county league this year barney marsh showed poor sports manship on wednesday night when he protested against allowing a runner for carmlchael who is just recovering from an injured leg f i the milton second baseman was game to go on with the game but that leg injury was just

of the imperial economic conference to participate in a luncheon tendered to them by the ambitious city of hamilton a the delegates arrived at the c n r station at 84s a m and were greeted by mayor peebles and a reception com mittee they- then were taken through the industrial plants accompanied by some of the leading citizens then over seas guests were loud in their praise of hamiltons manufacturing concerns one of rhodesias representatives was healrd to remarfc that it was very grati fying to see itjtxe harvester binder twine plant spinning twine from his very own rhodeslan hemp the entire morning was spent- in this interesting way the supposedly luncheon turned out to be a sumptuous banquet indeed the chefs of the royal comraughts cuisines excelled themselves in their confection ery arts from the rousing scottish airs played by the wentworth highland band to the artistically patriotic decorations which formed a gallant background for the afterdinner speakers it was truly magnificently british there was no head table a very demo cratic act on hamiltons part but not so pleasing to an outsider who found it just a trifle difficult to pick out who was who or in other words who were the nobility however it did do what hamil ton had hoped for it made it delight fully informal and one felt honored to think they had actually rubbed shoulders with tbe greatest statesmen of this era within the british empire three of the most picturesque figures who gave the pleasing touch of colorto the assemblage were the moslem mem ber of the indian delegation seth hagl abdvola haroon m t a his clever and beautiful wife begum haroon and the attractive duskyskinned daughter miss doulat the latter two were at tired in their native costumes and ex cited no little curiosity and praise to pick out the speaker of the day would be impossible for never were there more brilliant men gathered to gether they were all keen cleverltty arid forceful the one thing that im pressed the attentive audience was the keynote to all- the speeches complete confidence in a successful outcome of the conference and a greater confidence in the future sir gilbert vial minister from interior of chreat britain epitom ized the trouble of the world today as living on the charity of the people he said we as british people of the i great british empire cannot be content even if it were possible to go on living as we have beenthat isniylng onthe charity of the people for when we buy things for less than they cost to be ptroduced we are living on charity and we can only hope that if nothing else this great conference will arrange for the selling of things for a little more than they cost to be produced and so hamilton was privileged in seeing a fair representation of the dele gation which have come worn overseas to ottawa to attend the greatest conference the british empire has ever seen at three oclock they proceeded by motor cars donated also by the citizens of hamilton-
