 Another theory has it that it's all matter of politics. People point out that North Bay is Conservative while the Provincial government of Ontario is Liberal. Still another view is that the railroads are at the bot tom of 1t. The royal visitors are be- ing routed on the Canadian Nation al Railways-state owned-as much as possible. To get to North Bay the King and Queen would probably have to go along the Canadian Pacific, privately owned road.
 But deep down, under all the theorizings and suppositions, folks up here have an idea which they will reveal if you keep after them. The French Canadians hold to 1t most strongly. The non-French re- peat it and attribute it to the

TO A FRIEND

The long loved melody eagerly awaited To be heard again, to be translated Into the intimaceS of ones soul, Living color that plays the leading role In masters canvas the expression of dream Caressed with fiickering sunbeam, The beauty of a dainty bloom Mysterious as it makes perfume, The inspiration thrusting one To aspire to the very sun: My memories blend Into the image of you, my friend. The loneliness of life is soothed into peace; A sudden sweetness is boN1 and given release Through you; your charms are as a screen Whose cloth absorbs all that is not serene. The symphony of your ego is caressing; Your soft eyes pray blessing know that grace Must have smiled upon your birth No trace In you Of the petty. You soar To the heights like q bird. You explore sad hearts and cheer like the gentle dove. Indeed your presence is symbolic of all love.

she said, since they'll be so close. I think they will be missing some- thing if they don't see the children. Don't you?"
 There are several theories current up here as to why the King and Queen changed their minds. One school has it that the governor-gen- eral of Canada, Lord Tweedsmuir, is responsible. People point out that Lord Tweedsmuir has never seen the Quints although the children are under the protection of the govern ment.
 E. L. Banner, secretary of the North Bay Board of Trade, holds this view. I can't believe that our invitation was placed before their Majesties," says MT. Banner. "If it had been, the King and Queen would absolutely make it their busi- ness to see the Quints. After all they said they want to see the chil-

NAVY PARADE
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER
Good Evening.

When Miss America dolls up for Easter She'll be the tops, oh quite! In her navy blue ensemble
 With little touches of white. She'll look just like million,
 As her heels go clippity-clop, Her whole get-up suggests lots of dough Though bought in the budget shop. She'll have a very neat brimmed sailor, A white flower in her buttonhole; And girls, white gloves are must this year, To complete the well-dressed role. So mark time for the Easter parade, With motif distinctly floral, Shoes of many colors setting the pace From reds and blues to sorrel And please note the main color is blue, While the navy leads the way, So prepare to be, oh very blue When you march on Easter Day.

OF Local Team
FIVE OF OLD UMPIRE
STAFF TO SERVE AGAIN

Ball clubs will open their season on
Thursday, May A, the local organiza-
tion playing on that day in Federals-
burg and here on the following day.
Manager Kingdom has been in Po-
comoke for a week or so; and, at
present, is getting the playing field

able for work and not much has been
done.
Mr.. Kingdom is enthusiastic about
the team which will represent POGO
moke, and is thoroughly convinced
that this city is deserving of good
combination mad must have one. He
took hold of the boys last year, after

Rehbein, Luce, Meyers, Falzone, VAL

Infielders, Hall and Polita, with King
don possibility for second base.
Kingdom is of the opinion that it is
better to contact and try to secure .
few players of known ability, than to
have an thrush Of scores Of aspirantss
who must be disposed Of in a very
few days after their arrival. With o.
team in this city playing first division
base ball, there is no reason to be-
ieve otherwise than the sport will Be

slated to lose before the gates open,
there will be few to enter; and POGO

places in this respect.

turned. They are Henry Darlington.
