Clean Up the Old Burg��������� Teso are the happy halcyon days for cleaning up the old town and making her look spick and span for the summer days, when visitors who come along by car or train, look us over and judge accordingly. The local pride is put to a test in the spring and resits in the back yards and the fronts yards getting the once or probably twice over to remove all tho rubbish that may have accumulated during the rainy season. ' No person can have much jojy in looking out of- their back door and seeing an accumulation of what does- not add to the beauty of the place. And might we go so far, as to say that the person who permits that has but little local pride. Ashes are not as much of a menace to the public health as some of the; rubbish that is seen in some cases, and 'there is this certainty about it i money but it is our firm conviction that people arc happier now. than when they did not. have so much to spend. Let's keep the same policy in vis.w now that we had when times were hard���������spend less, a little, than we earn. SUES ELLIOTT FOR OXLV .'jJ.IO,00(H) VICTORIA, n. C, May- was issued this morning in -A writ the su pra m-e court, of British Columbia b, ���������that aches can be removed or taken away much easier. It should-be a matter of local pride for every property holder and tenant to have the home yard and surroundings as neat as possible. It pays too. It- keeps-awa-v disease and sickness H may be some- work to do this but some day.you willhear, if tlrj pjace is neat and clean, some person as they pass by, 'my that is a pretty little home'.".To hear that once even should be worth many hours of labor in cleaning up. Just try it this year and see. There are places right in this very town that are anything put neat and clean and as one passes these one is struck'with the fact that the owner ���������or occupier cannot be much of ! an admirer of nature or the premises would be cleaned up. Nature does a iot for us in making our town look pretty, why not assist nature in this respect. Boasting or Boosting��������� A-certain amount, of boasting is good for all men, as it relieves somo pent up pride that is bound tb have its effect wIidii let loose. But too much boasting becomes a menace to the welfare of the community and is not much of a boost to the fellow who lets it loose. When boasting goes so far,.as to knock some other fellow it must have an evil effect on the one who does the boasting. Tho other day a public speaker in one of our cities stated that a certain paper's editorials expressed as much ignorance of the constitutional law as did the speaker's heel. We have often read these editorials, and have come to the conclusion that they were clean and wholesome. We never saw the heel, so are unable to judge in the matter. Denies It l������y His Actions��������� Not long since our premier of B. C. stated that the legislature, of which ho was the head, was the highest law of tho land; (yet a few days after he issues a writ against a lawyer who makes what our premier considered a false statement. What we would like to know is why he did not call a special session of the legislature to deal with th������ matter. Surely the law courts cannot bo final in this matter! What Will Happou and When?���������- Many men who have studied the present state of affairs in connection with high prices, high wages and fast living have issued a warning that we are walking on a tight rope, and that like all tight ropes, the rope is almost bound to .break. What will happen when it breaks and when will It break is-the.question many are now asking. It is up to everyone of us to keep our eye on that rope aud go easy when it is about to give away. Don't let it break, rather consider the happiness of the people. These may sure be considered the times of high prices, but we believe the common people are much happier now than they were when they did not have so much loose change to spend. Not too much may be gotten for the Joseph Oliver, solicitor, son of Premier Oliver .on behalf of the I-'romiar against. U. T. Elliott. K. C. Mr. Oliver will be associated in the case with M. B. Jackson, K. C, M. P. P., as counsel The proi'nur claims $50,000 damages The writ follows: 1-^-The' plaintiff is a fanner and is and at all times materia] in this action has been," minister of railwa.ysin the government, of. the province of I British Columbia and premier or said j province, and resides at 1887 Fern Street, in the city of Victoria. 2.���������The defendant is a barrister- at-law and resides at the lity of Victoria. 3.���������Tiie defendant falsely and maliciously wrote and published of the plaintiff in the form of a. telegram bearing date the 17th day of April, 1920, the words following, that is to say: "Then two men named PcUey and Keith were notified to appear before you in respect of large land areas in (he north with view to ascertaining what port tons of lands they represented should be taken for returned soldiers. "In course of resulting proceedings you made personal ex- ' aniinntion of such lands and selected some for yourself, abandoning the lawful reason for presence, namely to find lands suitable for soldier settlement . and tlie result was that agreement to deliver certain lands to you at nominal price served to protest large area" from soldier settlinent." Moaning thereby that in his capacity as premier and a minister of the crown, and knowing that "two men named Petley and Keith owned or represented . certain lands, the plaintiff sent for the said Petley and Keith and iniated proposals for ac- quiring these lands or some fo them and that his object in so doing was to have the province fo British Columbia acquire these lands for the course of continuing such negotiations the plaintiff subsequently proceeded to a personal inspection of said lands and such inspection was made by- the plaintiff on banalf of the government of British Columbia and in the interests of returned soldiers and that in the course of sucn official investigation for the aforesaid public purpose the plaintiff conceived the wicked idea of taking advantage of the information he so gained and covetously, dishonestly and in breach of trust and contrary to good morals, did obtain an agreement to deliver to the plaintiff for his personal and private purchase some portion of the said land and which portion would otherwise have bei'n acquired by the government or province aforesaid and for returned soldiers, and that such agreement to deliver land was obtained through corrupt influence, and the purchase price agreed upon was improperly land unfairly low and less than the true value of the land, and that hy reason of tho acts and matters aforesaid the plaintiff defrauded soldiers, or those "interested in the settling of soldiers, out of certain available and desirable lands, or prejudiced such persons iu the, matter of securing desirable lands for settlement. 4.���������The words complained of were written and published by the defend J<"IETY YEAlt.3 AGO AND THE LOGGING BEE 'Tis sixty years and something more!

O* to RIDE A BICYCLE FARMER EXULTS IN POWER OF HIS PARTY OTTAWA, May 3.���������During the ar- ternoon and the greater part of the evening, the House .on Friday discussed oleoinargarins. The . debate a- rose on a government resolution .to i The fifth annual Canadian Bicycle Weoic is being observed from May 1 to S throughout Canada. With the modern ideas and modern methods throughout the bicycle field and a- mong all bicycling enthusiasts, it has become the established custom to hold a formal opening of the season by staging of a "Bicycle Week" early in May* each year. The plan of conducting a special week for cycling in the spring season originated in Canada but the' feature was soon adopted by the bicycle enthusiasts of the United States with the result that the celebration is now observed simultaneously in all parts of the North American continent. Every effort is being made by trade representatives, clubs and individual to feature tho benefits and advantages of bicycling so that tho general public will awaken to the possibility for utility, exercise pleasure and economy that are incorporated in the use of a bicycle. It has been pointed out that there is grave need for economical practices on the part of many people under present conditions and it has been urged that the simple bicycle provides a means of salvation for such persons. This applies particularly to those who . are compelled to make constant use of street car's.

The bicycle is one form of transportation that will prove to be economical and time-saving to suburbanites. Moreover, the saving in car fares soon pays for the investment in a wheel. This is only one of the many phases in which the bicycle is playing an important role at the present time. The bicycle is "Like many another newspaper publisher or manager, in these days of high cost of production and of living expenses, Editor Rose of the Kelowna "Courier" must have recently been experiencing some diffii- culty in the production of his monthly balance sheet. The effort to make the items on the credit side equal those of the debit evidently provoked the following comment which appeared in his columns recently: "Prominent among the worries of the management of a paper are the constant demands for free publicity. Every mail brings shoals of them from all sorts of people with a fancied claim for space. It is also surprising how many local people are obsessed with the same idea, that a publisher is a species of lunatic who delights in paying printers high wages and incurring other large outlays for the sole purpose of handing over his space gratis to all and sundry with axes of their .own tu grind. "In reality, ther.e is a sharp line of distinction between the news jand the advertising departments of a. paper. News may be defined generally as comprising accounts ot events of general public interest that have taken place, descriptive artiicles and editorial matter, and announcements of metings and other coming events of interest only to those immediately concerned should be classed as advertising matter pure and, simple, and should be a source of revenue to a paper instead of an expense, for be it remembered that every line of news costs the publisher money to produce. "Those who wish to insert announcements of coming events in The Courier will please note that there is a proper department for such on the local page���������at two cents per word."���������Chilliwack Progress.
