milton both went down under big soore from the big boom of tho acton batters bayllii and mooney each with a hom er something to talk abaut la right mooney and bayllsm have not been heavy hitters this year but maybe they are really woundup now the leading hitters in saturdays game were waterbouse and outhrte water- house had two- hits ln the game last night while outhrte lead again with three baylias home run clout was the longest seen in the park this year and it really was nice to see a first year man get it b1u waterhouse probably would havis stretched his hit into a homer had he slid into home but nevertheless he deserves credit for trying one thing about the acton nine when the base coach tells them to slide thej dive head first instead of feet but anyway practise makes perfect says max schmellliuj champion diver today if acton keeps hitting the ball how- ww they wont ha t worry aboutl sliding presides at graduation gordons pitching is improving but is still inclined to be wild but bobbie an derson says he can cure him actons coach on first base last night seemed to rile a certain georgetown fan i wonder who it was vas it valters or vaa ltwosnt three wins ln a row lets

the entertainment wm enjoy away up north three of our young folk wilfred dorothy and lil lian each received tuition through mrs dowdys capable guidance so were par ticularly anxious to hear her play for the aeton choirs and they enjoyed every mlrmte or the program mftslo even though enjoyed ln the north is not taught ln the schools like in the south at least not in our school so the children miss taking part in the festivals we also read with interest the editors article telling or his trip with the con vention delegates to the notable mining towns of trie north had i known i might have met him at the market where the banquet was held a visit of the kind he mentioned is far too limited to get a real conception of this great north- land but i fqel sure he wont now bo satisfied but will come back by automo bile so he con see some of the real beauty try fishing ln same of the streams and lakes and see farming as it is carried on ln the country proper even though the railway cuts through tho great clay belt from south to north one dont get the best view of it from a car window tho north noeds rain we have had a few nice showers but tho ground is very dry and needs a good soaking crops are all planted but arc not as far on for the time of year as might be ex pected we entertained friends from palermo lwo weeks ago and at that time they had berries almost ready to pick hay almost ready to cut and wheat begin ning to head out while here grain is just nicely up potatoes just peeking through and berries just ln blossom but if sufficient moisture comes growth will be rapid so were hoping for the best rood work has commenced ln earnest the construction company have a fleet of trucks at work steam shovels ditch ers graders etc and they commenced this week to run two shifts of 10 hours so will be going night and day some hundreds of men will be employed to man the two shifts so conditions gen erally win improve as well as roads respectfully yours r w johnson r r
