While the rate or tax-.tion is slight- ly higher than last years rate, which was twenty-nine and six-tenths mills. It should be borne in mind that whero- ls in past years thc cash discount was small, the allowance for payment ol the current year's taxes on or before June 30th amounts to one-sixth of the total amount levied. This discount should result in taxes being paid within thc time limit for taking advantage of tho discount and rate- payers making settlement In this way tated that lie had I' to his bartender of the matter and given Instructions not to sell liquor.

M'MI.EH YARD CIIANOEN HANDS 1*. Lund a Son lias purohogod the Lumber yard and premises formerly owned by tho Partners Lumber Co., Ltd, The property Is located at the corner of 3rd Aventto nnd 17th Street, Loth* bridge. This Is one of the best appointed lumber yards hi the West. The firm has nlso procured a trackage site Immediately north of the yard for unloading and storage purposes. Mr. Peter Lund will now make Lethbrldge the headquarters for his many ten i officials still remain impassive and heedless to our earnest solicitations. It was decided that the Merchants' Association and the Boards of Trade persist in their demands nnd the Secretary wns instructed to tnke the matter up with l>r. S. Bonnell, the Federal member for Bast Kootenay. with a request that he personally interview the Postmaster General with the object of having the mail service between Cranbrook and Kootenny Central points placed on a more sat-! lafactory basis; and the only satis-; factory arrangement would be to have all malls between Cranbrook and Kootenay Central points conveyed dir-j ectly in and out of Cranbrook by t hcl Kootenay Central trains. Mr. Archie Rftworth introduced a ' subject which in the opinion of all present was very opportune and one, that demanded the Immediate attention of this Association nnd this was j in reference to a certain element a- round town known as knockers.

Nishet is Counsel for the accused. MH.II.UVRAY th STAPLE'S LUMBER COMPANY, LTD. REASONS POR JUDGMENT have arrived at the same conclusion thut His Honor Judge Wilson did. This case, however, materially differs from that of Oddum Singh vs. Staples Lumber Co. In the latter case the evidence of the witnesses Davis and Crosby was clear and distinct as to the terms of hiring. It was a positive statement made from memory nor were they In the slightest degree shaken iu cross-examination. In the case before me I believe that both the plaintiff and Mr. Elmore Staples were telling what they believed to be the truth. Neither one was shaken In the slightest degree in cross-examination. Mr. Staples, however, says very frankly that he did not remember .i >n'it a ivfli-i or ten dtiys ago pn m'1,1. i \ to ttie unexpected ti' «v;ii ijiicI taken, hut it appeared ■■ 'lav* rfi"lc-d some /topic to t'. extent of knocking 'he (own. it was decided that an anti-knockers campaign should he Inattguratod, and some means adopted to educate the people to do a little hnottlng. The secretary submitted the following letter us a starter along these lines: "If you live and do business in a town, for heaven's sake be loyal to it. If the town furnishes yon with food und shelter, boost it; speak well of It; stand by It; and stand by the Industries It represents. If put to a pinch, nn ounce of loyalty is worth a ton of clever knocking. If you must vllllfy, W. A. Nisbet for plaintiff. (>. J. Spreull for defendant. This is an action for wages.

The Plaintiff sweare that Mr. Staples told him that ll was all right and he would get 4H centi> an hour from the 1st or June. Mr. Staples swears that m herease to 48 ceuta was given provided that Plaintiff sti.yet'. until October. The Plaintiff was paid for thc month of June al the rate of 48 centi ;■« hour.

" Canada Food Board, " Ottawa " In these stern days it is inspiring to learn that Canada is tackling the food problem with redoubled energy. The terrific pressure on our military front makes it all the more imperative that those behind the line should strain every nerve to defeat the enemy's avowed object of destroying the British Empire. "Germany hoped first to starve the Old Country by the submarine campaign and then to smash her land forces. She has failed to starve us and she will fail to smash us but we cannot achieve victory without food. Then .-ever was st time when it was more needed. "The Canadian farmer and the Canadian farmhand now have the opportunity to make an effective reply to the enemy's present onslaughts by bending their undivided energies to the increased production of those food supplies for which we depend to such vital extent upon your great Dominion." London, April 10th The Prime Miniiter of Canada, in a call to Greater Food Production, says: "The crieit Is grave and urgent beyond possibility of exaggeration." Our Allies are depending upon Canada to produce this year more cereals—especially Spring Wheat—and more meat—especially Pork. The world lhortage will inevitably continue for yeara after the war—with this continent the nearest source of supply for the 200,000,000 persons in Europe who will be clamoring for frod. (Signed) "RHONDDA" Measures have been taken and plans have been formulated which, on the authority of the Director of Agricultural Labor, will provide help needed for harvest. City and town people who cannot go on the farms are helping to feed themselves by growing their own vegetables, so that the farmers may grow more food for export. The food crisis calls for the utmost effort by all the people of Canada, because, as Lord Rhondda says, Food is essentia! to Victory.

He bad gone off over Into tho reaches of the Upper Kootenay River on the first of November nnd was only now back for the first time to dispose of Iiis furs and to hear the latest nnd the last about the world's groat war. As a result of his winter's wandering! be brought bach with him the pelts of thirty-one lynx, eight marten, one wolverine, one rod fox nud thirty weasels. He had also been successful fn bugging two golden engles nnd had killed a cougor but the Intter had gotten away. Late In the fall he had. packed his winter's supplies in to his!

Here be lifts n pre-emption nnd bore he made bis base for the next five j mouths.

There arp to he bad the elk, tbe moose ,tbe black- tailed deer, black bear, mountain goats, the "Big Horn" nnd the far famed Orizzley- The winter, of course is not the time when these animals ure to be shot, nor are many of them obtainable, but now, after a snort r-'sl he is off again this time with a puck on his back, to the haunts of the blneli bear, who awakening from bis lung winter's sleep is about to start off on a hunt for some food to satisfy him for his long felt want.

BOARD OF TRADE (Continued from page one) In connection wit ha report emanating from Vancouver regnrdlng the rates of Fie Insurance applicable In British Columbia It wns pointed out that tne rates here were considered higher than in the F.tist. Mr. F. Clement Brown. Insurance expert for the B. C, Manufacturers' Association addressing its members recently delivered some criticism against the rates In effect in B. C. Despite the fact that this province had an envlnble flrt record nnd that the climate is mild and moist and ideal In comparison with the East, yet insurance wns 15 to 20 per cent higher. Another outstanding fnel Is that fire insurance rates today In Canada and tlie United States are not based on the merits of the risk, but are bT ed also on consideration of expediency. In other words the politics of fire insurance piny ns large a part and sometimes, alas, n larger part than tbe merits or demerits of the fire hazards themselves.

There is no charge for admission nnd everyone Is welcome. In battle, where signallers are usually not available, the runner Is often tbe only means of communication. Knowing this, the good runner, given an important message,thas only one aim—regardless of his own life, or the life of any other man, to get his message through. If wounded while carrying a message, the1 good runner pushes on. If entirely Incapacitated he finds some-: one else, nn officer If possible, and hands aver bis message to be carried further. Always, as long as he can, and as far us he can, often over well-nigh Impassable ground, at times for long distances, usually under heavy fire, shelled, sniped, a target for machine- guns, the good runner, with a battle I message, carries on, walking, running from shell hole to shell hole, or crawling on his stomach, until his goal is reached, and, thoroughly ex-[•*■£■ batisted, he hands over bis precious, mud-stained, and sometimes bloodstained, missive. It Is ln these circumstances that the runner often wins recognition for gallantry, and well-deserved medal ribbons come his way.

For every-day Bodge Brothers MOTOR CARS A HIGH STANAK1* MADE HIGHER STILL Where they so disposed, Dodge Brothers could not lower thc quality of this car. They are no longer free agents, because public opinion has established a standard for everything bearing their name. They dare not fall below tbe high estimate that has been formed of them as motor car manufacturers. The American people are quick to detect deterioration. And what is much more Important—they expect the constant improvement of any product in which they repose complete confidence They would be slower to forgive a fault ln any cur Dodge Brothers might build, than In one they esteemed less highly. Kvery dealer in Dodge Brothers cars knows thut tin* customers who come to blm, come with tbe highest possible expectations. lie knows thut the thing he is selling primarily Is Dodge Brothers word and tlieir good name. 'He knows that he Ih not merely dealing tn motor curs, but acting as custodian for Dodge Brothers reputation.

Aud so, a .standard which was naturally high, lias been made higher still, by the bestowal of complete confidence em tho iiartofthe public, li is a mutual contract which offers con st ant Inspiration to the manufacturer and constant Insurance to tlie e'tistomer.

Ho walks. Very often he crawls. On the messages which tbe runner carries frequently depend the entire success of an operation and the lives of many officers and men. Both in billets and in trenches, the runner Is excused all other duty. In view of the speed with which he is supposed to travel, and the long distances he is often asked to cover, the runner travels light. In billets he moves about in loose dress, without belt or sldearm. In tbe trenches he enrries a rifle and a bandolier, but no equipment. An accomplishment they have to acquire is the faculty of penetrating, at any hour of the day or night, Into the most jealously guarded billet or dug-out, waking an officer from the deepest sleep, and paying no attention HATCHING EGGS liiilirineil Rred-to-lay Single Comb WHITE LEGHORNS Pen howled by male bird iron-.
