Campbell at the Liberal Women's meeting Monday night said: I also: "The statements contained therein - are absolutely false, This paper will be circulated In every town in Ontario and will be used by every industrial commissioner as an argumen* against Kingston. Any editor or any body of men who will dis- Parage their own town in an en- deavor to obtain a few votes are a disgrace to the cliy. Ang these are the people who say they will build up the city.

The final score stood 7-3 with the winners were leading at half time, 5-3. The weather conditions made good playing diffi- cult but in places after the teams got warmed up there were bright 6pots in the play. The wind was a big factor in the scoring all the points being scored at the south end of the field. Arts marked up three kicks for rouges in the first quarter but in the second Smith, one of the Meds' backs, made wu sensational cross field run from about forty yards out for |the touch which put thd winners in |the lead. Quinn for the Meds, was lalsn on eolor with his booting and | played a star game. In the Meds' line, Ritchie, Bell, Carmichael and Wad- dell were also good. 'The Arts team were the more ef- fective in the line and but for the fact that the winners seemed to pull together in the pinches better, would probably have won. Among the ef- fective men for arts were James, who did:-the 'kicking, Shaw, Ratch- ford, Morris, Dolan, ani Stewart.

The bible has very little to say re- garding this evil personage, though he gets all the motice he deserves, giving rise to the old saying, "Give the devil his due," as it Js not.he purpose of the good book to advert- ise this black character. Mr. LaFlair drew many helpful lessons from these incidents in bibli- cal times, and remind his hearers how often this same soM of insinuat- Ing question was flung against all those engaged In Christian work; or those who were attempting to serve their fellow-men in worth-while tasks without thought of mercenary returns or personal advancement The following officers were ap- pointed for the coming year: Presi- dent, George Young; vice-president, C.
