Dazzling Sim Old King Sol reigned supreme, and took a prominent position over the field and dazzled the outfielders wltll his dazzling countenance overhead.

Show us the man who is loyal and true to every interest of his own community aud we will show you in that same individual a man in whom bis country can report absolute confidence in any emergency that calls for his allegiance. On tbe other hand, the man who is careless and unconcerned for the interests of his community is most apt to display the same sprit of Indifference toward his government or his state should any serious danger threaten either. Try to imagine an entire state composed of innumerable communities welded and cemented into a symmetrical whole, each striving to excel the others, hut each, from its own local loyalty, developing a broader and deeper loyalty that reaches out and embraces the whole. This would he brought about if we could be brought to see that we owe allegiance to our own people,but that the prosperity and success of others is in no wise a detriment to us, but rather a help, that if each community would develop itself to tbe utmost—materially, mentally and morally—none would need to be envious of others, neither would any need do aught but to detract from another's interest. " |] Let us develop community loyalty to tbe full—the highest M possible form of patriotism.

JUNE 14, 1924. 1 am twenty-five cents, I am not on speaking terms with the butcher. I am too small to buy a quart of Ice cream, I am not large enough to purchase a box of candy, I cannot be exchanged for a gallon of gasoline, 1 am too small to buy a ticket to n movie, I am hardly 111 for a Up. But— believe mc, When 1 go to church on Sunday I am considered SOME MONEY. Any honest business man can command courtesy, square dealing, unquestionable values and prompt delivery, and all honest people who trade with you have a right to demand these four things. If your store or business is not giving these, don t blame the trade for drifting away from you. Look well to the "good will" of your business. Once lost it can never be regained. Sidelights on a Great Industry | ^ INSURED NVE TIMES ■ FOREST INDUSTRIES CON TROL SUCCESS OF B. C. BUSINESS COMMUNITY BOYS WILL BE BOYS ; Vast Sums Spent Annually In Yurbui Forms' of Insurance GOOD WILL A country newspaper was recently sold for SS.fino more thon the Inventory showed to be the value of Ihe printing plant. The $3,000 was credited to "good will." that Intangible something ln business which is of more value than the balance In your bank. Two business houses with practically the same stock and equally good locations may differ widely in a year's profit.. One may succeed and the other fail. The factor thai led to success was largely the matter of "good will". And the thing thut creates "good will" is honest service. You may lose your money and In time get it back again. Hut if you lose your "good will" you are bankrupt indeed. "Good wlll" Is a sensitive tiling. We have seen it talked to death by an otherwise good business man who wore his customers oul telling the secrets of his business alio* a lol of other things in which they were not interested. We have seen it driven from a store by a gruff and surly proprietor who met customers with an oath and a frown. We have seen it lost by the foolish business man who thought it was shrewd to substitute an Inferior article for the one his patron asked for. But most of all we have seen "good will" scattered to the winds by uncivil, inattentive aud careless salespeople. What good can it do a wise merchant to lay in honest stock, make reasonable prices and invite the public to trade at his store through well-prepared advertising, If his sales people insult, neglect aud are inattentive to the customers when they come? If the average clerk In the average store could only realize how much his Individual With the return of summer comes tho longing to be a boy again and | I you'll find the staid old business man I I playing hookey if he get a chance, i I With tbe bright warm afternoons you ; i will find many a roll-top desk closed j j clown and many an olllce chair va- j cant while tbe head of tbe business slips away to tbe golf links or the ' baseball grounds. A disappointed ] or impatient customer may storm u j little about neglecting business, but | it really doesn't amount to anything, when you stop and think how short a time the truant will be In charge of his particular business. The spirit of the boy that still j dwells in the stiffening body and dimming eyes of the staid old business i man Is really the only thing that j counts. That is why he joins a club that calls thc roll to the nickname of his boyhood. That is why he goes to ihe golf grounds and seeks in vain ■ for the pop and enthusiasm that he bad in the bygone days when he played shinny on the buck lot. That Is why he goes out to the baseball park and thrills at the crack of the bat when Babe Ruth knocks out a homo run, recalling the days when his gang beat the visiting team on the home diamond. Yen. verily, you bald-headed, stifi- Jolnted old collector of coins, that spirit of boyhood is the only real thing left in you that's worth cultivating. Aud the wife who is wise will smile when her boy comes home late to supper because the ball game went all extra inning or the caddy couldn't find the bnll lost in the rough. Don't scold Uie poor old chap when he comes home after playing truant with tbe spirit ot his boyhood. He will work harder and be less irritable tomorrow ror his afternoon off today. | Wash Goods-new lines | just received T,,e .orest .nd^t^of uruish co.-11 Voiles, Silk and Wool Crepes umbln rank easily first as providers '= -r\ , ' r* /~M _1 T"v of revenue to the general business |_| KatlI.eS, bpOIlge LlOtll, DrCSS 1 Ginghams and Cotton Crepe I Infant's Wear- II "Everything for the Baby."

Along with tidy streets ' _§■ and well kept business houses, should \w go the well filled advertising columns of the local newspaper. No local community can reach a high degree of prosperity without the local news-; paper, as likewise no local newspaper ! can experience true prosperity without the co-operation of tbe prosperous business people of the community. Advertising systematically and persistently followed shows real value in the increased sales of any business house. Recently a friend and patron of The Islander, who annually lias a task requiring publicity, asked the man-' agenient to make a news item showing just what he was going In do in his office. This service was freely and gladly given. The patron complacent- , ly remarked. "You have no idea how those little items help. Wc are always busy the next morning after you make such an item." The Idea of the needed publicity, was not new or strange to us, be-' cause publishers know the mission of their columns and what they will accomplish. Ask any newspaper worker who has inadvertently made an er-. ror or misstatement. Ile is immediately prodded and Jibed and kept busy explaining for days to come, even though the error covers only two lines ln print. Oh yes, we newspaper people are ; well aware that advertising—the commodity we have to sell—is effective. When business concerns who do not advertise, or who advertise spasmod-1 Ically, wake up to the sales-building, power of a dellnite newspaper advertising policy, we will have a better I community.

LONG before the paleface came to the broad and rolling prairies, the Red man knew and appreciated the curative properties of Little Luke Manitou. which is located near Watrous, Saskatchewan, on the main line of the Canadian National Railways. And the first white settlers who came, in advance of the railways. to settle on their homesteads in and around Watrous, soon leoYned of this lake with its highly mineralized waters, so that Little Lake Manitou had its reputation made when the first settlers reached the country. Today thousands of residents nf prairie cities find Little Lake Manitou an ideal watering place, and excursions are run from time to time over the Canadian National Railways from Saskatoon and other cities to provide citizens with a means of reaching this delightful spot. The waters of Little Lake Manitou are so highly mineralized that tho swimmer finds no difficulty in floating on their surface and at the same time their mineral qualities nre health-giving in their action. With a good sandy beach for the kiddies to play on, and water chutes and other enjoyment features erected for their entertainment, Little Lake Manitou has become the ideal picnic spot for the dwellers in the central region of Saskatchewan.

ABOUT GETTING THINGS DONE "We're looking for an admonitory BOntence of a few words to use as a slogan during the coming year," said a newly-appointed chairman of a directing body to a friend, "can you make a suggestion?" The slogan that was suggested was. "(Jet tilings done." Get things done now. aud if nol now, as soon after now as energetic, concentrated effort will permit. Procrastination has boon spoken of as the thief of time. Tardy performance is probably responsible for more actual loss than error in performance. Hours a day of thousands of employees are wasted by those who wait upon the action of a few who do not get things done. These wasted hours melted into lhe cost of production, so raise price of product that those who do get tilings done have au enormous advantage in competition. The more important a man's position, the more important is it that ho "gpts things done." And any and all will, I think, admit, Ihat 11 is a good slogan to hang in any office, factory or print-shop.

Independent- Liberal Candidate Election of the Year A.D., 1924 To the Electors of Comox Electoral District greeting: This pamphlet is issued under authority of the several District Committees composed of local citizens, many of whom belong to different political parties, but are now unanimous in their desire to ensure the election of Mr. Paul Phillipps Harrison, of Cumberland, B.C., Barrister-at-law, the Independent-Liberal Candidate. The word "Independent" indicates absolute freedom from the rule of the Rubber-stamp Brigade. The word "Liberal" refers to no particular party, but denotes the principle of re-modelling and enacting laws to meet promptly the radical changes which from time to time occur in the economic and social status of organized society as opposed to the ultra-conservative or reactionary principle of remaining stationary and only enacting legislation to meet such radical changes at the last moment when forced to do so by political pressure exerted by organized laDor, or for some other like reason. To those who reside in the more remote parts of the district and who are not personally acquainted with our Candidate, we may say that he was born in Victoria, B.C., some 43 years ago, and is the eldest son of His Honor Judge Harrison, now retired, who for some 35 years occupied the Bench for two Counties "on the Mainland, and in later years for the County of Nanaimo. Mr. P. P. Harrison nas resided with his family at Cumberland, B.C., and practised law there, for the past 18 years. We are supporting him in his candidature for the lollowing reasons: 1. During the past 18 years we have on many occasions experienced convincing proof of his broad- minded attitude in politics, combined witn a most commendable independence of spirit, and the ability to make a determined light for anything that he is advocating or supporting. 2. That he has always been strongly opposed to Oriental immigration into Canada. 3. That his entire legal practice is with the general public, such as miners, farmers, fishers, loggers, merchants, etc.. and he does not serve any interest or class in particular, we therefore are assured that if he represents us in Parliament he will not be prejudiced in favor of any particular interest or class. 4. That as his entire legal business depends upon his retaining the people's confidence, it is to his interest, to give them proper representation in Parliament. 5. That he has not accepted and will not accept funds for his campaign from any Party. Association, or the like, in short, lie is financing the whole of his campaign with his personal funds. We doubt if any olher Candidate in this Field is doing this. (i. We are entirely in accord with Mr. Harrison's running as an Independent-Liberal and in his view that if he were to do otherwise he would put himself in the position of practically saying that he is satisfied that the Government has accorded our District the consideration to which it is entitled, while as a matter of fact we feel that they have, in many instances, failed to do so. It is our experience, covering a period of many years, that Political Parties, become nothing better than 'Political Machines' whereby its members who are elected on a straight party ticket, uphold their Part}' even when they arc acting contrary to the interests of the people, thus constituting the infamous 'Rubber-stamp Brigade,' every member of which is completely subservient to the dictates of the Party Bosses, particularly as such members are individually under obligation lo their Party, lor funds to carry on their campaign. This condition of affairs can only be remedied or at least ameliorated by our persisting in placing the interests of the District before that of any Party as we are doing in this case, Mr. Harrison will refrain from making wild promises for the purpose of catching votes. He has agreed with us lo make a most careful investigation into the complaints of Timber Operators regarding the present Royalty on logs; And also the question of an embargo ou the exportation of logs, and if the facts fully warrant it, he will advocate and support any equitable measure which can be adopted to meet the situation in a way satisfactory to all concerned. And a like enquiry into the matter of the present system of repairing and maintaining public roads, ditches and culverts, in order to ascertain if a reasonable scheme can be worked out whereby the farmers can obtain a fair share of employment in that connection, particularly during the slack months in farming operations and thus enable them to meet their taxes. Also amendment to the Poll-tax Act, so that the collection of such tax will not be made from any person liable to pay the same, until such person has resided a reasonable time within the place where it is sought to collect the tax. Also the filling of local Government positions by local people, where competent, instead of the present method quite often adopted of giving the same to persons who reside elsewhere and hnve no stake or interest in the District. » Mr. Harrison is also strongly in favor of the principle of Recall by the people of any Member of Parliament whom they may feel is not giving them proper and adequate representation and will give liis support to any legislation of that character, which contains (Continued on page 9), PAGE SIX THE CUMBERLAND ISLANDER SATURDAY, JUNE 14, 1924.

Laemmle's intentions was that this motion picture classic would be made on the most lavish scale, a scale which the story truly deserved. Accordingly, the best character actor of the day was secured for the part of "Quasimodo," Mr. Lon Chancey and no expense was spared in the making—the total cost of the completed production being over a million and a quarter dollars. A cast of principals was then engaged whicli sounds like a "who's who"—in fllm- dom—and In addition over three thousand trained actors were secured for This is why you see prettier complexions, today Women have learned this simple way to \teep youthful loveliness The prettier complexions you ptexion lovely, radiant, youthful.

Only the efforts of men nearby saved them from death . As it was, Ihey had a dip in the icy swirling pool of water. "Lttcretia Lombard," the successful novel by Kathleen Norris, was being filmed, and Producer Harry Rapt had constructed a veritable forest through which runs a long railroad trestle about 150 feet long. Down this trestle came Irene Rich and Norma Shearer to escape the raging lire. It was just twenty feet from the edge of the forest that the mishap occurred. A crash, and zip, the two flgures dropped like a plummet Into the cold waters! Eddie Sutherland and Kenneth Hawks, assisting Director Jack Conway rushed to help, and bore out the two ladles. The scene as finally completed Is said to be one of thc most vividly realistic ever filmed. "Lucretla Lombard" is a Warner Brothers classic of the screen and will play at the Ilo-llo Theatre Friday and Saturday. It abounds In strong characterizations. Irene Rich nnd Monte Blue are co-starred, with a supporting cast made up of Marc McDermott, Alec B.

THE CUMBERLAND ISLANDER V PAGE SEVEN / Parliament And The Canadian National Strong presumtive evidence beine forthcoming that Sir Henry Thornton is a big enough man to put tho Canadian National Railway system on its feet, the new tactics of those who aro rieLenniiiPil to cripple the system. preparatory tn its dismemberment, are directed towards making his position intolerable to a man who has any respect for himself.

It is a perfect machine; the result of ,iears of test in the plants of the manufacturers In Switzerland and France :: This marvellous little pocket lamp, embodying simplicity, reliability and compactness, weighs only 12 ounces. It ls patented in all countries. The dynamo, with permanent magnet, based on now methods, gives dense magnetic fields of perfect concentration, whicli surrounds the induction without loss ot magnetic dispersion, ami permits the maximum exploitation of the energy, Construction of these lamps is very carefully carried out by skilled Swiss clock and scientific instrument makers :: Electro Automate Lamps are tight and dust-proof. They can be useil In all climates, including equatorial regions. Tbey will everywhere render the utmost service, giving a clear white light, without fear of the bulb burning out or tlio generator booming warm. All Blectro Automate Lamps are guaranteed for six months, conditionally that they are not tampered with. With reasonable care they will last for years. Any part can be renewed at slight cost. Lamps are provided with a pocket for extra bulbs. This lamp Is especially useful to travellers, tourists, marine and mining engineers, automohlllsts, dairymen, in fact everybody. They are indispensable on life-boats and rafts, where a light Is needed that will not be extinguished by wind or wave :: Kvery mine Bhould be provided with one or more of these lamps at its portal or entrance, for the convenience of the employee or official whose work lakes him in and out of the mine at irregular intervals. It is the cheapest anil best light on the market for this purpose :: Marine engineers welcome Electro Automate in their engine room. It saves them from the annoyance and loss of lime occasioned hy tht unreliability of battery lamps when they wish to locate trouble or iind something in a hurry :: Pilots are favorable to these little lamps because tbey are always standing by ready and able to do their part in any and all kinds of weather.' They are hardy little fellows and will stand any amount of knocking about, even to the bulbs, which are superior to any others on the market:: Mushers over the northern trails take these lamps in preference to others, because they give a never ending light and add less than a pound of weight to their outfits. The winds can't blow them out and Pie snow or wet can not short circuit them. DIBEOTIONS The working of this self-generating lamp is ver.y simple. Pull the lever completely and sharply with the lingers and let go, allowing It to open fully in order to take another (nil stroke. Strokes should be even and sharp lor best results. This lamp is the only one of Its weight that will give a perfect light. The hearings of this lamp should be oiled about once a month. SOLD LOCALLY BY Cumberland Electric Lighting Co., Ltd.

CLINTON, Managing Director. could he driven, by a succession of pin pricks ami insults, into Quitting, this would he a warning to other railroad men. big enough for the job, to have nothing to do with the Canadian National Railway, The management oi' the road would then inevitably deteriorate: it would become the sport and prey of politicians; and there would follow rapid disintegration ami Ultimate collapse. This is what some of our Canadian "patriots" want; and they will work unceasingly and un- : crupuloiiKly to bring it about. The more Sir Henry Thornton succeeds, the more determined they will be in their assaults upon him. It is in Parliament, of course, that the most dangerous and annoying jabs of the pin-pricking campaign can be delivered; because there they can be screened hy an appearance of devotion to the public interest. The road is the property of Canadian people; Parliament represents the people: why, then, should not Parliament supervise, investigate and control the administration of thc railway? There is a surface appearance of validity to the argument. It is natural for members of the opposition to exagerate their rights of investigation and supervision; and. even when their motives are quite disinterested, they can j tie too easily influenced to courses injurious to the railway. In the last I Parliament Mr. Fielding, being then fin opposition, seriously proposed that j Ilie whole Canadian National budget j should be voted, item by Item, by 1 Parliament, basing his demand upon (lie supreme right of Parliament to control public moneys. Mr, Fielding should have known better than to urge so preposterous a course, nothing was heard about his proposal once he became a member of the Gov- ernmnet. But here is Sir Henry /•Drayton, who is an ex-Finance Minister and Mr. Meighen's (irst lieutenant in the Commons, making an equally absurd and dangerous proposal. Kir Henry has a resolution before Parliament which reads thus: "Tliat. in tho opinion of this House, a select standing committee on National Railways and Shipping should be appointed, and that to said cofal- mittee ahould lie referred the estimates for the Canadian National Railway system and for the Mercantile Marine, and all questions involving new capital commitment and the disposition of properties and assets, and that as well to said committee should be referred during each session the annual reports of the said system aud .Mercantile Marine for such enquiry as may be exercised hy, and with such powers of enquiry, as are possessed by the select standing committee on public accounts with relation to the auditor general's report. And further, that said committee should be entrusted to make recommendations to this House as to what further. II any, details or improvement of method should appear in said annual reports. If the Canadian National Railway is to become a mere department of the Government, with all its officials ranking as civil servants there can be no objection to the proposed procedure; but it has been the policy of the country, with the hearty approval of (lie great mass of the people, to operate the railway on the basis of a corporation with a minimum of political interference. Sir Henry Drayton's proposal to have a Parliamentary committee, armed with the inquisitorial powers of the public accounts, go yearly into all the details of th? operation, would bring the whole system into politics and make it the football of contending parties. The effect would he to destroy the discipline, the morale of the servfee, and initiative; and rapidly turn the Canadian National Railway into a decaying ami dying organization. Our parties have got to keep their hands off the Canadian National Railway or they will destroy it; and it is only the manifestation of vigorous public opinion that will restrain them. It is, of course, true that there is in the organization of the Canadian National Railway a defect which needs remedying. If the analogy cf the corporation is to he maintained thc shareholders of the company, who are the people of Canada, ought to have some means hy whicli they can create a directorate which will, on purely business Hues, control policy and select the higher olllcials. Parliament cannot function successfully as thai directorate; and the appointments of the directors, as a political act, by tiie government of the day is only one degree less objectionable There is here a great and serious problem; and Parliament would he much more profitably employed in trying to solve it than in devising means by which it can meddle with the working of the railway system, which is something it cannot be expected to understand.—Au Editorial from The Manitoba Free Press.

ANY NEW IDEAS THIS MORNING? Do you attach sufficient Importance to ideas—Ideas concerning your daily employment? Do yon take the time and the trouble to sit down and think clearly and constructively about the work you have to do? Tbat old excuse about being "too busy" doesn't go. No task you have to perform is more important, more urgent, than that of ferreting out new ideas for your business. "Onte single idea." said Emerson.

Rockefeller once engaged Ull executive at a rather stiff salary, "But what," asked an associate, "are the man's duties?"

Incidentally, it may be added that the executive saved his salary several times over, the first year. It was brain, not brawn, that brought ns out of barbarism.

Candidate Addressed Island Electors In Billy's job, as in many positions where men nave won tame tnd distinction, it is personality that counts. It is his mission in lift to inspire confidence, and to lure innocent sheep and lamps to their destruction with as great alacrity and lightness of gait as If they were skipping to the fields of Elysium, and this he does to the King's taste; he was born for his task. Though but two years old he has a substantial beard, and long white hoary locks, His mien is gentle and there are no horns visible which might give rise to fatal suspicions. But in his eyes there is an air of command, backed by th* fore, of a portly frame, which enables Billy to do what he will with tha sheep and lambs which come within his ken, and even influences calves to keep a straight path. In the busy season he saves tha salaries of five men; in ordinary times ht does the work of two or three. He was three months old when he arrived at the Canadian Pacific Stock Yards, Montreal, but he took to the work at once. He followed the heels of the men, and while other animals tried at the work had to be coaxed to labor by rewards of cake and biscuits, Billy needed no such spur, but in three months time would glance at the sheep comfortably, start off at a cheertul trol and without hesitation the doomed animals would surround him and happily ascend the winding runway to the abattoir nearby. Then at a command he would go back and coax anv stragglers, till he had all at hand ready to be slaughtered. Now to look at Billy, it might seem that he did this work In all Innocence, and that he was quite unaware that he had led his charges to any harm; but that would be doing an injustice to Billy's mighty intellect. He leads the flock right to the edge of the platform where they ars killed but then he carefully edges to the wall, keeping as far al possihle from the danger point till he reaches the only spot of safety, then he slides back from the helpless sheep wriggles out tnd goes back for another lot. His treachery does not weigh on his spirits, he Is utterly com* sltcam tnd .elf-satisfied, Impatient to be on tht job. DENMAN ISLAND—The Provincial Party's candidate. Mr. Every-Clayton, -ccompaniod by Cnpt. Pales, gave nn uddress in the old hall on Wednesday evening. The attendance was very gootl indeed. Mr. M. llell-Ir- •fng wan chairman and Introduce I the candidate who gave a brief history of his early life in coining to tliy country. He said we must havo confidence iu our man and party. Wc should not Invest our money in wh-'U wc considered an unsafe investment, Mr. Clayton gave rather a lengthy ad- tlrosH and touched on several vital points such as the P.O.E. railroad, which has been a while elephant to ' more than ono political party) also he spoke of the enormous dehl under i which wc are .staggering. lu 11114 thc debt was LS million dollars; lo- j day It has reached the enormous sum of 113 millions. lie also read some very Interesting correspondence from a prominent politician. Mr. Clayton acknowledged that he had employed Chinamen on his farm anil thought a veiy good way to get rid of these obnoxious foreigners was to give them th" same remuneration as a white man. ln such a case every one prefers nn English speaking man and before long the "heathen Chinaman' would of his own accord "seek pas- lures new." The speaker drew attention to Ihe nil embracing plank number 111—Irrigation. Tliat hardly applies, here was Mr. Clayton's comment, where upon a voice in the audience called out "I wish 1 had it here right now." The candidate admitted his potaloes. too. needed ruin. After some more remarks the chairman called Capt. Bates, the candidate's business manager, who told of Mr. Clayton refusing to take his present stand, preferring them to find a better man, but for honest, integrity, and general ability there could be no fitter man found and so Mr. Clayton at last consented. The chairman gave the origin of the Provincial Party, who were a number of farmers from the upper country who had banded themselves together and come to Vancouver determined to clean out the present wasteful government. He strongly endorsed Major A. D. Mc- Rae's credentials and his ability to he I the leader of the party. He, tho, Major, had saved the government millions of dollars in the last war. If the present government were return- • ed it would only be a short time before we were in the hands of the receiver. He begged for thc sake of, the kiddies that when they grew up It would not be milestones hung around elr necks. Several questions from ! the audience were asked: Would Mr., Clayton be willing to have the farm- | er's taxes reduced? Certainly, wns the reply. The Provincial Party's motto was honesty, economy and efficiency. Would you advise trying to finish the P.O.E. Railway? Tho | speaker replied lie was unable to sa.. until everything hnd beeu thrashed out. After some more questions had been asked and answered intelligently, Mr. Bell-Irving proposed a vole of thanks to the two gentlemen. This i was heartily given. The national anthem was sung and the meeting ad-1 journed. The next day Mr. Clayton and his manager joiirnlod tn Cumberland and invited all those who could manage to go to bear two specially good speakers wlio were to lie iu the little mining town thut night.

NANAIMO, June 9.—Claiming damages or $50,000 for an alleged tibel contained in the Third Party publication, "The Searchlight, No. 8," Hon. William Sloan. Minister of Mines, and Liberal candidate in Nanaimo in tbe present provincial contest, issued a writ this morning against General Alexander Duncan McRae, leader o£ the so-called Provincial Party. This action was the outcome of tbe Minister's recent statement tliat he proposed to sue the Third Party's bead for statements made by him. The writ, issued through the linn of Messrs. Lelghton & Meakin, Bats forth: "Tbe plaintiff claims $50,000 damages for libelous statements published by the Defendant, or hy the authority of. or at the instigation of, or with the knowledge, connivance and assistance of lhe defendant. Tin- said libel was published at tbe city of Vancouver, British Columbia, in or about tbe month of January. A.D.. 1924, in a pamphlet entitled "The Searchlight, No. 8," under the heading 'a petition for a Royal Commission.' j The filing of the writ against the j bead of the so-called Provincial Party t is no surprise. Hon. Mr. Sloan made it clear in recent addresses to his constituent's that be would hail the "General" before the courts to account for j bis (the General's) accusations that ! the Minister of Mines bad received campaign funds from P. G. E. Inter- I ests. The Minister was given a sweeping exoneration by the recent Royal Commission; bis integrity was fully established, and now General McRae must answer in tbe courts for his unbalanced and uncalled for attacks upon a man who, through thick and thin, has been a consistent supporter of the interests of the working man of Nanaimo. LIQUOR-CONTROL PLEBISCITE ACT PROCLAMATION OE RETURNING OFFICER Your Family A mother and children bereft of home is life's most pitiful drama. It is enacted all too often because life insurance had not been provided. Government statistics show that "ninety-five per cent of men at age sixty are dependent" Other men die without leaving anything for the support of their families. Life insurance has been evolved so that a man may arrange his life's program to provide for his family. It is scientific, safe and sound.

Never before have so many candidates been in the field. Premier Oliver has rallied strong support for his business policy, the freight rates issue taking lirst place. Even prominent oppositionists in Vancouver and Victoria have pledged him their support, purely because of the freight rates fight. The comment is beard on Conservative and Provincial party platforms that the Oliver government has done nothing, It is perhaps only fair to point to tbe comprehensive plans now in the hands of the administration. Included ure: Highway extensions, including the Trnusprovin- olal; educational survey; University construction; freight rates; comprehensive social legislation; eight-hour law; colonization; aid to mining development. Sucb a program, already partly carried out, appeals strongly to the public, so strongly that there appears little doubt but that the government will be sent back to office With a clean-cut majority.

Winter feeding operations have on the whole made a very satisfactory return to a large number of farmers, and cattle purchased at from four to four and a half cents a pound have been resold this spring at from six and a half to seven cents a pound, or occasionally more, after making a gain in weight safely four times in five attempts ut Keuchy's wicked slants.
