Jack Youngs, pitching ace of the Bards, was on the mound and pitched a nice game allowing but seven hits, issuing two passes and striking out seven. Not a run scored by the visitors was earned. Qutside of the slip-up in the sixth the Bards played nice ball. Morden, the St. Thomas pit- cher, struck out eleven men and allowed the Bards three hits which were widely scattered. Lowly Bards Show Their Metal In Final Proving the old saying that a game is never won until the last man is out, the Fighting Bards threw a scare into the London Or ient's Camp. by. scoring two in the final and almost winning the game. - London owes its win to the snappy work of Armstrong, who raced back to short ceutre and gathered in Edwards' high fly and then dou- bled Griffin at-second. "Even after this happened Ken Packham came through with a triple and Dolson camein, making the score sheet read 5---3. McKenzie batting for Eddie Marks came through witha single bringing Packham: in from third. Lavelle then hit to right field and the Bards had two on and two out. batter up and he was giverra life, as Armstrong made an_ error ill making the play. 'Then the big moment arrived -- Flannigan, the hard hitter of the Bards, came to bat with the bases full, but Hank Down uncorked a burst of speed and Flannigan struck out, ending one of the most exciting games that has been played in Stratford this year. : ----- Dickinson's Photo Studio All modern equipment and high-class work.

Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Bradshaw and Miss H. Roth, Dr. Roth and Mr. L. Millar motored to Stratford this week from Red Hill, Penn. Mr. Bradshaw will be remembered as one of the [Inspectors from the U.S.A. during the war. Both he and Mrs. Bradshaw made many friends while in the city who are glad to see them again. SOMETHING SAID AND SALES INCREASE The Mirror office was favored with a calllast week from R. N. Hays, a member of the well-known Publishing House of George H. Doran & Co., New York. Mr Hays was at the Old Boys' Reunion.in Seaforth, and came to Stratford to spend a short time with one of his boyhood friends, T. H. Pinkney. 'Maybe there isn't anything that is so uncertain as the sale of books. Every;now and then a publisher gets stuck on some publication, and its pretty hard to tell what run any story is going to have until it is on the market, and not always then. For instance, 'The Young Visi- tor,' stipposed to have been written by a nine-year old girl, when first published only 2,500 copies were sold. After some time a second edition was printed and the sales ran into 160,000. Someone says something about~a publication and away it goes." Another Boy Doing Well | J. F. Kelly, the president of Dye- | stuffs aud Chemicals, Inc., of St. | Louis, Mo., who came here for the Old Boys, has returned home. '-Joe" is also associated with the Phillip Ruxton Printing Ink Mfg. Co. of the same city. The Rotar- ians who visited St. Louis this year did not come back singing, '"'Has anybody here seen Kelly," but "We all saw Kelly," and were used royally by our old town's boy, Joe Kelly. But how well this gentle- man is doing you won't find out from Joe, but there are a lot of Stratford gentlemen who can tell 'how much he is thought of in 5t. Louis and the good use he has made of his time. J. F. is a brother of our own townsman, P.- J. Kelly. Mrs. Kelly, whose father is Mr. M. Dillon, and the family, were in the city as well. King's Tariff Policy (Continued from page 3) A true comparison of the debt at the present time would show $127,- 000,000 more than when Mr. King went into power. He seems par- ticularly happy because foreign trade is increasing. But domestic trade is far more importaiut than foreign trade. The foreign trade Indispensable! { 'ORBECT time is ab- -- solutely indispensable to busy business men and women who take pride in being punctual.

The present tariff has sent Canadian workmen on the streets by the thousands. Seven- teen textile factories have been closed since Mr. King went into power. Mr. King's policy benefits Canada, but those across the line. Twenty-four mills making imple- ments and tractors are closed and yet Mr. King says that the country wants the Liberal policy.

This magnificent bird is a native of India; and is said to have been | brought to Palestine by the fleets of King Solomon. Always an object of show, or vener- | ation, this bird sometimes appeared at the baronial feasts of old England dressed in all its fine feathers, and | with its beak gilded. It had' been carefully skinned, of course, before being roasted; then, | after the cooking process, the skin C.
