They are aaid to have differed from the domestic variety as "Man-o'-War" differ* from the humble truck horse. Running wild from b|rth on lonely ranch**, shipped in black boxes to continu* their isolation from mankind, they entered the arena with only the elemental Instincts of wild animals, to kill and destroy any one daring enough to face 'them.

"QUALITY AND SERVICE" 1,633 Visitors in Three Months Early In June last, at the suggestion if Mr. J. P. Lewis, our efficient road foreman, a "Visitors' Book" wa* placed In a box nailed to a big cedar tree overlooking the now famous Campbell River Falls, tor registering the number ol people who visit this beautiful scene during the summer months. The Idea of placing such a book at the Falls was to prove to our authorities the great necessity of a good road to this resort and to show them by actual statistics the number of people who use this road when the tourist season Is at its height. In spite of a very bad year, owing to the large number of forest lires and dense clouds of smoke prevailing everywhere throughout Vancouver Island in the summer months, 1,633 visitors registered their names during June, July hnd August. Mauy of the tourists, In addition to signing their names, wrote enthusiastically of the wonderful beauty of the Falls and incidentally made some caustic remarks ou the condition of the two and-a-liali* mile stretch from the main road to the cataract. The book is interesting in showing tlle many countries from which people travel to visit tills delightful island, and the fact that 1.63.1 lourists trom the United States, the United Kingdom, Egypt, China and other far-off lands visited this beauty ipot in one of our "bad years," it ts ,afe to say that In normal years there .ire at least 3,000 vlstors to the Camp- jell Kiver Falls. It is to be hoped hut ill the next session of the Legis- .aturc a special appropriation will be .uadc to give our visitors a good roa'l to this greatest attraction on Vun- couves' Island. Visitors from Cumberland Mr. and Mrs. Stockand, and Teddy, of Cumberland, and Miss Marlon Bilton, of Nanaimo, visited Mr. and MrB. Wm.

While here the visitors called at the radio station and were much interested in the new sensation. Radio Expert Visits River. Mr. I). Brown, tho radio expert of Courtenay, came up to Campbell Itiver on Sunday afternoon to tost out tlu- station ut this place. The results in picking up many of the cities of the United States, such as Salt Lake City, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland. Reno and Tacoma, were very satisfactory. The voices and music reaching Campbell River very clear and loud. Tlie installation of a radio-set in the Publicity office has caused great interest to be taken In this latest form of amusement, and the number of radio fans is increasing rapidly. I'.-T.

This is the biggest uffair of the Fall months, the proceeds being devoted to buying Xmas presents for all the children on the Island. It Is likely that a large number of people will attend tlle affair from this side of the Passage. Col.

BICKLE SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28th, 1922 IN THE OCTOBER WOODS A stroll through the October woods always is exhilerating and Inducive to thought. A walk ln thc woods is invigorating at this time of the year and as you wander under the stretching limbs you come to the conclusion that men and trees aro very much alike. From reckless youth to ruminating age—from the age of Intoxicating 11 lusions to the chill of cold reason-- from the roseleat of romance to the moBS of rheumatism- from green ox perieuce to ripe judgment-men and trees alike suggest the span of life. The most venerable of all animate . or Inanimate objects Is the oak tree With its high top, bald with dry an- tlquite, and Its boughs covered with 1 mosB, the oak stands like a living stn- '" tute that no mortal can build. Tako '' this same tree when young ami tap It " until it ls twenty, and when it reaohas forty It will be a barklcss, branchless. blighted trunk. The oak has lived through ail tin years because its life lias been regular, in accordance with tho laws of nature. Men who lead regular lives. barring accidents, will live to a rip^ old age. Sap youth and you shorten ' years. Every person, young or old. Ij Interested In the question of how long ' he is going to live, but who wants to live with gout, dyspepsia, rheumatism and locomotor ataxia? Youth seeks plenty of life, reckless tun and a good time. Age wants good health, real 'happiness and a long life. Enjoy the ' ambitions and excitements of youth f[SJ and Its indiscretions, sap the vitality from the young oak, and you must endure the penalty. Yes, men and trees are very much alike. The sun will paint the color on your years, the stars will continue t'o shine on your silvery head, depending wholly on how you treat your youth. !•! HALLOWE'EN . Hist! be still! 'tis Hallowe'en! B". That night of nights when elves and witches are abroad, when thc '"'tiny totB hold tight to daddy's hand "and gaze with fear and wonder at th-; masquerade™ on the village streets. Not so long ago Hallowe'en was the night when boys played mischievous pranks, carrying away gates ami " everything else that could be pried looBe. But, In keeping with thc ever- changing customs in this land of ours. £ we now give Ihe evening to masquerade parties. We have toned down our Hallowe'en pranks to a considerable degree. For many, many years it has been the custom over ull the world to .< build bonfires, to keep off cvit spirits on Hallowe'en; and this Is the night of all nigliis to entertain friends with stunts similar to those performed two hundred years ago. On this night. , fortunes are told, games are played, and If It so happens that your hirtli- t day falls on Hallowe'en, then you may even be able to hold con ersu wilh fairies—bo goes the ancient superstition. But what was once a ceremony of ( belief, has now become a thing of • sport, of welcome sport In a day of such serious thought, and work, and sense of responsibility, that any excuse for Bport should be laid hold of; so that now Its observances are all a Jest which the young people lay upon themselves, not In the least believing In the consequences, only half hoping thore may be something ln II, and saying to themselves that stranger things have happened. So get out the old false faces, the noise-makers and jiiln tlie merry throng. Mingle with llie goblins am! dance with the dunces. Put aside your dignity ami your responsibilities for a single night. Sing tlie old song, "Backward, turn backward, oh, Time, in your llight; make me a child again Just for to-night." Don't show a grouch If some happy little lad pulls at your doorbell, or showers com on your window panes. Let youth be unrestrained on Hallowe'en, so long as real damage Is not done. Get Into the spirit of the occasion yourself, and remember that the one unpardonable sin on Hallowe'en is to frighten a little child. The fears of children are very real and a false face to the bain- Is a terrible thing. So, have your fun and frolic,—but use good Judgment.

And, with his start, there should be no reason ior putting us Into the prude class. The man who does not take some recreation will some day take to regret, The mind must be occasionally unused aad tlie body frequently rested, but It Is the choice of amusement md what we call "rest" that should have careful consideration. The other night a friend took us to a girl show In a neighboring city— a suggestive show that could appeal only to a man whose highest ambition hi to be amused in the basement of liis brain. This show was designed to strip the earth of every flower of virtue and to send a man home through the back alley. There was not an entertaining, worth-while thought tn the whole progs-am. Just revel and rot. Amusement lulls the faculties—bu: real entertainment awakens the understanding. Our point is this: Why pay two dollars a. ticket to awaken tlie devil lu you? Thc devil in most of us often shows without any coaxing. Direct From England Received This Week, a Large Shipment of FINEST QUALITY CHINA-WHITE SEXI-I'ORCELEAN DINNER-WARE 97-piece Set.

Then Basketball Schedules Will Be Started. Many Improve- Made in Hall. The Cumberland Basketball Association held a meeting last Monday. The meeting was originally Intended for Saturday, but to allow the committee Interviewing the board ot management ot the Athletic Club to make their report to the original meeting, was postponed till Monday. Certain Improvements In the Band hall, which hitherto has been very dangerous to the players, will be remedied before the teams are turned loose on the floor. In all probability the three'leagues will get started not later than this coming week. Deputation SaeeeasfuL Arthur Lee and A. S. Denholme, president and secretary respectively, ot the association, who were Instructed at the last meeting to Interview the hoard of management of the Athletic Club, reported very favorably. They stated the management had given them a very sympathetic hearing, and Mr. Tremlett Informed the meeting that he had been Instructed to write the association that all requests with but one exception had been granted. The studding which has been bare before, will be boarded over -with ehlplap all round the hall to a height of six feet This will allow the players to have a little more confidence In themselves ln the ends and sides. In the spectators gallery, too, thero will be certain Improvements affected. The spectators will be screened off with a wire netting which will save some Inconvenience to them. The hall will be heated by the spectators' gallery, which will be the most appreciated Improvement from their standpoint. Two rows of seats will also be added, and there Is no doubt that they will be needed, as basketball is due for a big boost here. Basketballerg Anxious. The material and the labor for this Job is being supplied by the Athletic Club. Those present at the meeting felt so anxious to get the leaguo started, everyone present volunteered to go up to the Band Hall and supply most of the labor themselves. The Athletic Club was also approached In regard to the gate receipts. Last year the Athletic Club took 60 per cent ot the gate receipts and the league 40 per cent. The association would like this arrangement reversed, but the Athletic Club management stated It was not In. their power to change this arrangement which was the condition set by the C C. (D) Ltd. ln handing over the Band Hall. The association was Informed that the matter was not shelved by any means and the arrangement may yet be altered. Five T's Entry Accepted. The senior line-up Includes the Firemen, Owls and Keystones. The Five T's of last year's fame, applied for a berth In the league, as their entry was not received by Oct 14th. Mr. J. Cameron, of tbe Firemen, who had two teams entered, stated It would be necessary to withdraw a Flremen'B team if the Five T's entered, as that team would be made up of players they Intended playing for them. Mr. Mortimer said they probably would not have signed on with the Firemen in any case, and the Five T's entry wns accepted. The Intermediate age limit was rescinded and any one who has not played senior beMre will be eligible. This was necessary to get a third team in the league, only two having entered—the High School and Bevan. A third team, It was stated, could easily be raised if the age limit wus taken off. Olrls, Do Be Careful! The ladles' quintettes are even more anxious than the men. The W. H. 0. Club are all primed for the battle, and Graham Cup For Juvenile League Youngsters Start Soon.—Medals For Junior and Juvenile League. The Junior Football Club held a well attended meeting last Friday evening In the Athletic Club. It was decided to start the Juvenile League with the Oraham Cup aB the trophy for the competition. The age limit will be 18 years and under. The following teams are entered: High School, Cumberland Public School, Courtenay Public School, Union Bay, and the Athletic Rangers, a local team. Home and Hone (James. The secretary Informed the meeting that he had received information to the effect that the Oraham Cup was for Juvenile competition. The Juvenile age limit was raised to 18 years and under to enable all the teams to enter. This enabled both the Athletic Rangers and Union Bay to enter teams who would have had to refrain from entering under the strict definition of Juveniles. Home and home games were de- elded on, and when the teams were put ln the bat for tho drawing ot the first games, the High School and Cumberland Public School were brought together. Courtenay was fortunate enough to draw the home game with Union Bay, and the Athletics Rangers got the bye. The remainder of the schedule, with dates, will be worked out by Secretary Weir. Will Dlae Junior League. It was felt by the meeting that the secretary had enough work with the Junior League, and H. Carey of the High School Club was selected to assist with the Junvenlle League. Each club will be charged the nominal sum of one dollar as an entrance fee. Those present thought that the youngsters were as deserving of medals aa any of the senior teams, and gold medals will be obtained tn some manner for the winners of the Junior League; while an effort will be at least made towards securing them for the winners of the Juvenile League. This ls a big undertaking for the league to take on hand, as a dozen medals or more cost a lot of money and everyone should do their little bit to help the Junior League to reward the boys. The league will take the matter up at their next meeting. Meanwhile, quotations are being secured on the medals. Those Present. In the absence of A. Kay, who was a little late lu arriving, Colin Camp- hell occupied the chair, with Mr. Weir, of Bevan, reading the minutes. The following were also present: O. Weir, R and J. Walker, W. Keenan, Bevan; P. Reid, A. Kay, Mr. Campbell, Union Bay; C. Fraser, H. Carey, High School; H. Waterfield, W. White, Cumberland Juniors; J. Tremlett, Athletic Rangers, and A. H.

Henderson's Pithy Pars The Cumberland Juniors and Bevan split the points Sunday. Fifty-fifty— that's fair enough, isn't it? The High School lads will have to play on Sundays, evidently. Some of the lads certainly are to be commended on their rigid adherence to their principles. It certainly puts the promoters of the league In a queer position when two teams waste a week-end fixture on this account. tbe High School girls under Allan Nunns, are all ready for the fray, while a third team Is entered, too, but feel a little bashful to come out witu a name. This gives a three-team Ladles' and Intermediate League which will work nicely with a four- team Senior League. Applications were received from Courtenay and Comox Intermediate teams, but they were not accepted as the association Is only running a City league. Local fans should give a little support to tlie juvenile boys. They are only youngsters, but are our great football players of the future. Lovers of the hoop game will soon see their favorite sport and with much more comfort and convenience than last year. It certainly waB cold last year.

You don't wait until cylinders begin knocking to suspect that something is wrong. You listen to the hum of your motor and right away you adjust that skip, however slight it may be. You learned long ago that it's cheaper to tighten a bolt than to buy a spring; far less expensive to have a short circuit straightened out than to put in a battery. You put the hydrometer on her faithfully. How about that Human Motor of yours? Is it running on five cylinders, when all six should be hitting perfectly to carry your {pad ? Are your valves choked with carbon ? Is your carburetor adjusted to just the right mixture ? Looked after your compression- lately ? Are others shooting past you on the road ? Are you running on a flat tire and taking a chance of being towed home some fine day ? ARE YOU GOING TO WAIT UNTIL THE MACHINE STOPS BEFORE CONSULTING AN EXPERT ON THE HUMAN MOTOR ? YOU are the man that knows best when your machine balks and gets cranky. You're the driver—every day in the year. If you're wise you'll consult an expert when you notice that first lack of power. Your Chiropractor can put his finger on the source of your motor tgroubles. He'll run down that short circuit and get that missing cylinder to " hitting." He'll tell you if you have a "dead" spark plug. He'll adjust your carburetor so that human machine of your will fairly "sing" with energy. And it's profitable to adjust the difHcuIt}' now. Don't wait until your motor stops. Don't take a chance of being towed home some day. E. O. Haiikedal, D.C.

III.—FORWARDS (Continued).i Basket Shooting. No other phase of the game de-1 mands the same technique or rigidity oi torm as basket shooting. Without the proper knowledge or understanding of thia fact, the player is likely to iovelop personal peculiarities which . e frequently quite detrimental. The proper form in Bhooting can be readily likened to the swing of a golf club ji of a baseball bat. The greatest and :sost satisfactory results can not bo ■iitaliied unless rigidity of form ls irlctly adhered to, although occa- oually a player may use some lndl- .uual characteristics to advantage. A player who possesses a natural eye lor shooting but poor form should be carefully coached. Basket i-hootlng during a practice or a game demands concentration which establishes a proper co-ordination between the mind and the muscles governing the shooting. The objective is to got the niusclua under such control that the desired action comes automatically. I have watched players waste hours In basket shoot Ing practice because their actions were the result of physical move mentB only; not the combination of mind and muscle. Deliberate shooting is the only shooting worth while Players should be impressed immediately with the relative size of the diameter of the ball and that of the basket. The hoop is eighteen Inches In diameter and the ball is nine or ten Inches, thus leaving a clearance of four Inches for a ball dropping directly to the centre from above. Science of Shooting. It ls a self-evident fact, therefore that the more direct the drop of tlie ball from above the more chance for the throw to be successful. Oood shooting would therefore seem to demand a highly looped ball, the downward motion starting at some distance above the basket In order that the drop be direct and straight. A ball thrown on a straight line or at a sharp angle to the basket has little chance of passing through the hoop because of the elliptical shape of the basket. Loop Shot Best Though there are various forins used in shooting, the "overhand loop" shot Is universally recognized as the most scientific. It should be used foi long, medium and short-distance shooting. It affords players a com paratlvely safe start, as the ball is raised and pushed upward and forward, leaving the hands somewhere above the face. This shot is difficult to block and practically impossible to Intercept. A player in the act of shooting should never look down at the ball to see that it Is properly adjusted: nor should he look up to see the ball leave his hands. The knowledge of theae things must be gained by practice through the sense of touch. Loss of time ln adjusting the ball may mean a blocked shot, and tbe eyes muat be employed in seeking the exact location of the hoop. Ease and confidence will come to a player lt he but concentrate on the rim of the basket nearest to him and loops the ball so that on its downward course it will just clear that rim and fall through the opening. On it hitting the rim lt may rebound to the backboard and fall again into the baaket. If the shot is entirely for the backboard, the ball must hit the exact •pot at right angles. The backboard should never be used intentionally with tbe loop shot. Its use for the glancing shot will be discussed In the next article. There is another shot often used In basketball, one employed by those who are new to the game. It Is the underhand shot, executed by grasping the hall with the lingers and thumbs and swinging the arms from between bent knees. Tills is probably the most natural shot and Is certainly the most easily acquired, but It Is practically useless as It Is ensllv blocked. by a dribble for this shot is essen- .uilly an under-the-basket shot. lt Is a shot that permits many varl- a'ions. It can be either with one hand alone or with both hands. I have seen many forwards who shoot baskets with one hand while standing off the guard with the other. It can also be effectively used by bringing the ball up over the right shoulder with both hands and playing a direct bank without English. For Short Shots. Short shots made directly in front >i or from the left side of the basket ire made by jumping with arms extended, the ball being lifted up and oiled off the linger tips jUBt over the im of the basket. The start of the luow is naturally made with two muds, but the left hand is usually ,'lthdiawii before the completion of the throw. When coming in under the basket ;'iom the loft Bide tlle player may receive a puss too close under the bas- ket. At such times an additions step, with a sharp half turn of th, jody to the left, will bring him lute i position facir:; the basket on tin ither rliot, giving 111.a an opening foi ho Lackboaid shot. The ball is then hoi ills, aid from the waist with ti 'harp wrist and forearm movement . jii,.liar shot U u *eii when coming ii .'rom the right. It is well to remember in connection with the backboard shot that all backboards are not constructed of the iame material, and that the rebound ot the ball will vary with the hardness of the material used. Some are of soft wood, others hard, and still others are of plate glass. A few test shots with the ordinary amount of spin will soon acquaint you with tht amount of rebound to be expected from a strange backboard. Asllgh! twist of the ball will not affect its course If it Is evenly exerted, but s jail sent spinning through tho air is very apt to rebound sharply at different angles when striking the backboard. Long Shots Und. Long shots have won many games. but they should not be resorted to unless a team is unable to penetrate the opposing defence or unless the end of playing time is very near. They are usually forced shots, especially wher used by young players who have nol the strength to throw a great distance. The bad habits which ure likely to develop from long shooting arc banging the backboard and un uneven exertion of .strength in the arm Alien throwing the ball. Player, should at all times guard against tlie over use of the right or left arm, n: here must be an even push exerted li NOTICE IV.-FORWARDS (Continued). Shooting. There is another type of shot that li, very much In vogue among experienced basketball players, though Its effectiveness depends to a large extent on the ability of the team to work the ball under the basket. I refer to the glancing shot off the backboard which Is a sure point-getter if the forward has mastered the technique ot giving suflicient "English" to the hall. The shot Is made by giving the ball a alight turn of the wrist just as il leaves the hand, thus causing it to rotate against the backboard and rebound Into the hoop. The distance between the player and the basket should be decreased wherever possible NOTICE is hereby given that all persons having claims against the the estate of the late Joseph Peach Davis, late of Comox District, British Columbia, who died on or about the 29th day of June, 1922, are required to send in tlieir claims duly verified on or before the 1st day of December, 1D22, to George Charles Davis, of Union Bay, Nelson District, B.

Dated this 17th day of October, 1922. GEORGE CHARLES DAVIS, 11 Executor. ihe flight of the ball is to he straight and true. Following up shots is an Important offensive act as weil as a defohsive one. One should go time and direc. his movements during the flight of the ball as to be in an advantageous position to secure the rebound or to guard an opponent who has secured tho ball. Short steps and an action of alertness will help to make this action possible Too quick a start will bring the player under the basket beforo the ball has descened. The rebound muii be jumped for and the ball secured at the height of the jump and then tap ped, pushed or shot before the flooi Is touched. One's position on uccurlnr, the ball will determine which cciu:m. must be adopted. Quite a number of golf enthusiast have been out on the couise down tho valley, Including: Misses ll. Dando, 0.
