The first period was deigned to be Proton's luelcy period.when R. Ach- oson and L. Lyons both bulged the net behind Ferris. Ferris played ar extra fine game and made many saves. McKillop made the first tally for the Flesherton e.xperts. The second period started by Akitt scoring from the blue line, followed by M. Piper scoring but having his goal ruled out by the referee. The third period proved to be tht most exciting of them all when L. Lyons scored for Proton and D. Smith lied the score for Flesherton.

The Queen's Park Arena By The Watchman Toronto, January 16th. The old political pot has started to simmer once more and with the premier back on the job to add a little spice to the mixture â€" and do some of the stirring himself â€" things are brightening wp along the Queen's Park front. The premier made his first ap- pearance at Parliament Buildings on Friday afternoon and three houi-s after his arrival the following inter- esting announcements are made. (1) Opening of the legislature ses- sion on Wednesday, February 20th wth none of the "frills" of past years (2) Reduction of the interest rate on all farm loans from five to foui per cent and on extension of the per- iods in which payments must be made (3) Refusal cf the government to vote monies for the upkeep of Chor- ley Park, i-esidence of the lieutenant- governor. (4) Refusal of the cabinet to ap- prove a Royal Commission inquiry into the Aeinilius Jarvis case a.s sought by AtiA/i-iiey General Roebuck. (5) Appointment of Capt. W. L. Rayfield, V.C. as Sergeant-at-arm?^ for the session of the legislature. (6) Strong possibility that the pro- vince will shortly enter the money markets for a loan. Opening of the session on Feb- ruary 20th is an important announce- ment but farmers will be more inter- ested n the decision of the govern- ment to i-educe interest rates on farm loans. Hon. Duncan Marshall, Min- ister of Agriculture, stated that the government proposes to re-amortise the loan.-: now outstanding with the Agricultural Development Board si as to ease in many ca.<os the interest and principal burden of the farmers Abolish Mothers' Boards, Is Report LOCAL ALLOWANCE BODIES ARL SLATED FOR DISC.VUD IS RLMOU HEARD It is rumored at Queen's Park last week that abolition of all the local Mothers' .Allowance Boards will be eflected within the next month or sc by Hon. David A. CroU, minister ol welfare and municipal affairs. Such a move, if effected will follow closely on the heels of similar action taken by Mr. CroU in regard to the local Old Age Pension Commissions and will be for the purpose, it is understood, of increasing administra- tive efficiency and reducing the ex- istration presented. At the present time there is a Moth- ers' Allowance Board '" every county with Toronto, Hamilton and Ottawa, each having one of its own, because of the size of the municipalities and the many and varied questions of admin- pemliture connected therewith. Although official Queen's Park re- fuseti last week to discuss the report- ed pending change of policy, it wa.-5 learned that the speed with which the Funeral of Loreeo Davidson Held Durham Hotel Man Got Mixed in His "Spirits The following Durham incident ap- The community of Feversham wo-s I Peared in the Toronto Mail and Em- shocked on hearing of the death oi Loreen, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jas.

PricevIHe Wins Last Game Priceville had sweet levenge o" tht Swinton Park team in the Semi-Pro League for a recent defeat, when they won 7-5 in a hotly contested fray. Neither team had much of an ad- vantage on the other, although Swin- ton Park players were faster skaters, but ithey could nftt overcome >the heavy backchecking of the Priceville ladsi Seven goals were scored in the first period in the following or- der: Mc Vicar on a pass from Frook Wilson on a scramble in front of the net, Frook from a centre ice shot, D. Haw on a pass from Dunn, Mc- Vicar unassisted. Haw on a glaring offside and just as the bell rang to end the period, leaving Priceville In the lead. McLean made it two wp on a pass from McVicar and Go- heen brought Swintons closer and Tumbull made it safe for Priceville a few minutes before time was call- ed. McVicar again added to Price- ville's lead and Swinton Park's last goal was scored by Wilson. This is Priceville's first win of the season as they have been handicapped with the lack of ice.

Owing to the fact that the Ottawa rate for farm loans is five and a half per cent, Mr. Marshall said the province was prepared to make good the one and a half per cent difference between the Ottawa rate and the new- ly announced provincial figure of foui per cent. The Hepburn government is going ta carry out its intentions of refusing to vote monies for the upkeep of the liei.';enant-governor's residence. The premier is determined to keep the money in the treasury and effect a $50,000 saving.

At the end of the second period Flesherton was down 3-2, but completely demoralided their oppon- ents in the lasts frame to romp ahead and win by three g«als. There was no best man on the local squad as all turned in a real game, but Sled, Singleton. Berry, Patton. McCutcheon and Johnston scored. Maher of Chatsworth was the star of the evening with four goals to his credit. Woods and McFarlane also teamed up well with Maher on the forward line.
