EARLY CLOSING
LEADERS MEET
Start   Campaign   to    Raise   Funds
Celebrate Jubilee of Movement
in England
(Ry  Dally  News  Lens-art Wire)
LONDON, May 8—The Duke of
Teck presided tonight and Winston
Churchill was one of thc guests at a
banquet In London which Inaugurated
a campaign to raise £5,000 In order
lhat the Eai'ly Closing association may
carry out an autumn propaganda
which marks tlie "jubilee" of tho Saturday half-holiday in Britain.
Mr. Churchill's special association
with the movement arises from luo
part he played a year ago In securing
Lhe passage through parliament of the
Shops -act, which legalized the weekly
half-holiday for shop assistants winch
has been won hy efforts dating from
1842. In that year a group of LI
young men met In a London tavern
and founded an association whose aim
It *was to secure some weekly opportunity for rest and recreation regularly for lf> hours dally with an additional couple* of hours each Saturday.
Lord Shaftesbury, Lord. Brougham
and Lord John Russell were among
those who subsequently gave active
support to the movement and hi the
early fifties large employers of labor
began to take an Interest in the matter, the year 1858 seeing the Introduction of a short Saturday in London
offices though the shopkeepers still
held aloof.
Volunteer Movement Aided.
Two years later 300 women were
signatories to a letter, published in
the Times, promising to refrain from
shopping on Saturday afternoons. At
that timo the 'growth of the old volun
teer army movement in England drew
public attention to the* lack of leisure
at the disposal of the shop assistants
and, aided iby this extraneous Influence, the holiday seeking association
at the end of 20 years' persistent labor
secured a general Saturday half-holiday In London.
In 1895 upward of 1,000 towns had
established a weekly half-holiday for
shop assistants, but It Is declared that
even now there are "thousands of
young men and women in large towns
and cities still working In the shops
until 9 and 10 o'clock nightly, ^o the

Settlement    Between    Parties    As
Redistribution Is Not As Near
As Appeared
(By Daily News Leased Wire.)
OTTAWA, May 8.—The Citizen
says: "An agreement between the par
ties on the subject of redistribution is
apparently not as near as IL seemed
to be recently. As between the two
political sides there Is still some difficulty over Quebec, but as regards
Ontario problems arise also from
purely Conservative standpoint.
"The principal hitch In Ontario is in
respect *to the Mlddlesexes, one o
which must go. Whether in tbe re
arrangement the county will be divided
east and -west or north anil south Is a
much -disputed point.
"Jn North York the question at issue
Is whether Stoutvllle will remain there
or go to an adjoining constituency.
"In the eastern part of the "province
there Is a problem respecting ilhe proposed elimination of Russell county.
"Tho prospects fur an agreement In
Quebec aro encouraging, tout that
which has taken place Is unofficial. IL
was learned today that us between the"
parties, either privately or officially
in the committee, no conclusion or understanding bus been reached.
"The expectation fs that "the bill will
pass this year, though certain Con
servatlves would have no objection if
It were deferred until next session."

he represented the town as both a
Liberal and a Unionist,
As a matter of fact, he was defeated
in tho January election of 1010 by a
Radical, but won back the seat in the
election of the following December,
when his majority was G08, He had
a wonderful personal popularity and
this, of course, was a great asset Lo
tho local Unionist cause Now undoubtedly there is a chance that the
Liberals may win back this seat.
Both the present candidates, T. G.
Tickler, Unionist, and Alfred Bannister., Liberal, are natives of tiie town.
Tlie former is a jam maker and the
latter a trawl owner, and the present

Vill Allow No Concession
Other Than Six Year Exclusion of Ulster,
(Canadian Associated Press Cable.)
LONDON, May 8.—Sixty-five members of the Nationalist party in the
commons have prepared an "ultimatum" for presentation to the prime
minister.    Its terms are that:
1. No further concession be given
to Ulster In the direction of exclusion
than the six-year period already put
forward.
2. That falling acceptance of this,
the home rule bill must be passed as
it stands under the Parliament act,
at tlie latest before the end of May.
3. In the event of the government
postponing the passage of the hill "we
shall at once deem it our duty to abstain from the division lobby."
4. If Mr. Asqulth's private assurance on these'polnts is not satisfactory we shall refuse to extend any further support to the Liberal government, even to the extent of the budget.
No Conversations Likely.
The Telegraph says that nothing hug
happened in tlie conferences between
Sir Edward Carson and Bonar Law,
and It Is a fact that there Is not likely
to be any resumption of the conversations. The Indications are that the
home rule bill will go forward to Us
final stage under the Parliament act
without any understanding between
the parties.
The Telegraph says there are only
two ways to avoid civil war, the exclusion of Ulster or a general election,
and the probability points to an election after thc passing of the bill.

Military Tension at Washington Grows Greater
SHIPMENT OF ARMS
SENT TO HUERTA
Army Chiefs Would Send
Fifty Thousand Men to Reinforce General Funsten,
(By Daily News Le3*<d   Wire)
WASHINGTON, May 8.-^HIgh diplomatic and -military tension marked
the Mexican situation today.
The war department was the chief
centre of activity and it became known
that the sending of additional troops
was being considered. This step
would not be considered in any way
as an aggressive measure but as a
reasonable precaution to support the
force already Ihere in case of any untoward event.
Of equally serious portent to tho
troop preparations was the roport lato
in the day that two German merchant
ships were about to arrive at Puerto
Mexico with large supplies of arms and
ammunition    for Huerta.
It was reported that this would
present an incident similar to the arrival of the Ypiranga at Vera Cruz
with her cargo of ammunition which
led immediately to the American occupation of that 'port.
Huerta's protest to the mediators
that tho United States had broken tho
armistice by landing additional troops
at Vera Cruz was considered toy tho
cabinet and later Secretary Bryan announced that the reply of this government Stated that no aggressive
steps had 'been taken by the United
States forces and nothing had been
done In violation of tbe suspension of
hostilities.
May Call Out National Guards
It was said after the cabinet meeting that the matter of troop movements had previously been left with
the war department and there was
ilttie doubt as to lhe sending of additional forces, wholly for precautionary
purposes. Inquiries have been mado
of tho governors of the states to ascertain the condition of national guards
and how soon they could toe (prepared
for active service if conditions required. This again Is a precautionary
measure,
National guards probably would be
used on the Texas border, relieving
regulars there, who would thus be
available for reinforcing the troops
now In Vera Cruz.
Funsten Says Force Too Weak
Gon. Funsten Is understood to havo
told the war department that with the
7,000 men In* now has, his linos are
vulnerable at different points and a
sudden attack along the railway would
necessitate tho withdrawal of forces
from other points, which would be left
unproLccled. He has informed lhe
war department that he will need ut
least 15,000 to 18,000 men In order to
hold Vera Cruz as well as the outlying districts which he now has
garrisoned.
Tbo decision as to the number of
troops to be given Gen. FunsLon has
been left, it Is understood to tho
judgment of the general staff. Secretary1 Garrison said that as yet no
orders had boon issued for any move*
ment, but contracts have been closed
for tho chartering of several merchant
steamers. Within the next two weeks
at least nine transports will have been
secured by tho war department.
Chiefs Would Strengthen Army
The fact that tbe high officers of
the army bail recommended thc sending of at least 50,000 to 60,000 men
to Vera Cruz, in preparation for all
eventualities, became known during
the day generally iu executive quarters.
Carranza  Friendly  Now
Secretary Bryan made public today
a report by the constitutionalist representative in Washington, declaring
the friendly attitude of the rebels toward the United States. Tho docu-
men was significant in reversing tha
position announced by Carranza immediately after the occupation of
Vera Cruz. He now regards tho
American movement. as directed
against Huerta and not against tin-
Mexican people as a whole, whom be
says are on friendly terms With tho
United siuLes.
Late tonight the South American
mediators were notified by the Huerta
government that thc Mexican delegation would leave Mexico City tomorrow for Niagara Falls via Vera Cruz
nd Key West.
Huerta ProtectB Foreigners
(By Dally Nows Leased Wire.)
VERA CRUZ, May 8.—Bcporls ot
rebel victories continue to reach Vera.
Cruz. Il was reported today that
Zapata had taken Cueranvaca, capital of the state of Morelos, whicli is
within 40 miles of Mexico City. Close
observers of the situation say, how-
over, that Zapata could have taken II-
at any tlmo as It always had been
garrisoned by a weak force and only
a slight attempt has been made to
defend IL. Thc reports of rebel successes are still being suppressed in
the capital and few persons there
know of Gen. Villa's steady approach
from the north. Americans traveling
between the capital and Vera Cruz
are impressed most 'by tho solicitude
of Huerta's officers for tho safety of
all   foreigners,   especially   Americans.

FRUITVALE OFFERS
GOOD PROGRAM
LUMBER COMPANY IN
STRONG FINANCIAL POSITION
Hundred Dollar Share in Yeilowhead
Pass Project Now Worth Four
Hundred Dollars.
CRANBROOK, B. C, May 8.—The
annual general meeting of the shareholders and directors of the Yellow-
head Pass Lumber Company, Limited.
was held at the offices of T. T. Me-
credy, solicitor, Baker street, Cranbrook. The president, A. Carney of
Kaslo, and the entire body of directors, as well as a considerable number of shareholders, were In attendance.
The .meeting was memorable owing
to the highly satisfactory condition of
the company's affairs, which was
shown by the result of the recent
audit of the concern's business by
George H. Ashworth, from which H
appeared that the total assets amount
to $715,524 and the liabilities, including the capital stock, amounting to
$166,400, to only $208,103, or an excess of assets over liabilities of $607,-
361. Tho auditor also certified that
each ?10() share was now worth practically $400, What renders the position of the company still more enviable is that it has available funds
on hand to pay the annual license fees
on Its 48 square miles of timber for
tho next five or six years.
A cordial vote of thanks was moved
to the president by A. R. Fen-wick of
Fort Steele, who called attention to
tlie fact that the shareholders should
attribute the present excellent position of the company entirely to the
financial assistance afforded to it by
Mr. Carney and certain members o-f
his family in times when It was impossible for the company to carry on
and finance Its great undertaking. It
was, he said, by Mr. Carney's energy
that a most successful and profitable
sale waa made of part of the holdings
on Willow river, whereby the exchequer was equipped in tiie exceptionally satisfactory manner shown hy the
auditor's report. Thc resolution was
seconded by A. E. Watts and carried
unanimously.
Mr. Carney In his reply thanked
those who had been associated with
him in the days of bitter struggle.
Those wore the times they were all
In the woods in every sense of the
term, but now they -were in the broad
meadows of ease and assured financial
stability. If he had done his share
In bringing that condition about he
could say that it was easy to work
with men who wero ever ready to
back him. to believe in him and to
trust Jn htm to find the trail no matter how dense the forest or bow dark
tbe night,
A. E Watts move,] a warm vote of
thanks to Joseph Ryan. Die managing
director and secretary of the company,
and who has been associated with tho
enterprise from its inception and upon
whom has fallen a load; of work and
responsibility second only to that of
the president. Tho resolution was
carried unanimously.
The president, Mr. Carney, was reelected, as were the officers of the
past year, to whose numbers were
added*A. B. Watts and Isaac Burch as
directors.

Pandemonium Reigns In Madrid Chamber of Deputies W"en Ferrar
Case is Recalled.
(By Daily News Leased Wlrel
MADRID, May S.—A figure of
speech used today by Francis -»■
Ugarte, minister of public works, was
the cause of a violent scene in the
chamber of deputies. The ministry
of public works had been adversely
criticized by several deputies for its
connection with the construction of a
new railroad.
In replying to thc criticism Senor
Ugarte, who in 190!) was prosecutor-
general and reported on the unsuccessful appeal of Francisco Ferrar, founder of the modern school, for a reprieve
from the sentence of death Imposed
him in Barcelona for causing a
revolutionary outbreak, said:
My crlticB have been holding an
autopsy ou a corpse which does not
exist."
Senor Castrnvido. a Republican deputy ana editor of El Pais, leaped to
his feet and shouted:
The only corpse here is that of
Ferrar and it still Is palpitating."
Pandemonium then broke out, Republican deputies shouting that
Ugarte was an assassin, while the
government supporters retorted by
calling the Republicans blackguards.

SATURDAY, MAY 9
BACK    TO    THE   LAND    IN    NOVA
SCOTIA.
The last annual report of the secretary of Industries and Immigration of
the province of Nova Scotia is to
hand. Judging toy It, there Is being
put forth an effort iby the provincial
government to re-people Nova Scotia's vacant lands, considerable tracts
of which have become almost depopulated by emigration. There are In
that Tovince tracts of the finest land
and also 'tracts of less choice land
as are found elsewhere. The methods
of farming which were being pursued
In very many places were primitive
and the best was not "being made of
the land. Discourager! with the results of their methods of farming,
which had been what might indeed
have been expected, many of the settlers left for western Canada and not
a few went to the northeastern states,
leaving portions of the province
depopulated. And strange to say,
most of those who so left that province -became the best settlers in the
places to which they emigrated—ener
getic, adaptable to the requirments of
the places to which they ha-j gone.
The Nova Scotia government is evidently making an attempt to have
these lands settled upon.
To do this advertising Is being resorted to, hut this while good in itself is not sufficient. What Is needed
is policy similar to that pursued by
the government of Canada towards
Prince Edward Island, varied as far
as need be hy local conditions and
what the soil is best adapted for. Ih
18W3 Prof. Robertson was directed by
the government of Canada to go to
Prince Edward Island and to spend;
if need be, some three years there,
getting the farmers of the island out
of their old rut and t0 pursue better
methods of farming—better because
they would be found by them to he
much more remunerative. The farm
ers had previous to this been chiefly
engaged there In raising oats and P°*
tatoes for the New England market,
making .hy these means a fair living
only. The farms of the island are
largely held in tracts of fifty acreB
each. The farmers he found to be
unprogresslve; they had not means or
energy to be otherwise: had not the
requisite energy or spirit. He began
hia work by giving lectures over the
island. He got the people interested
in the work which he was sketching
for them, raising ensilage, alfalfa and
roota for their cattle, building silos,
establishing creameries, etc., and generally going Into Intensive cultivation,
He reported, after having spent four
years in this work, that he bad s°t
them greatly interested In this work,
and the average farmer was making
about three times yearly what he hau
been previously making out of his
oats and potatoes.
In Nova Scotia similar directing and
assistance and training of the farmers
seems to be specially required; and
If this were taken up and consistently
pursued by the local government and
were entrusted to thoroughly sultaible
persons for such work, the results
therefrom would be of the happiest
kind. This Is the best means of solving the question as to how to get the
p-ople back on the land*. Make life
on the farm Interesting and remunerative. With the right kind* of persons
to direct the latent energies of the.
farmers and assisting them by means
of co-operative hanks and co-operative
marketing the result would not be
doubtful. The land, now vacant, would
speedily be re-settled.
All Canada is interested in the success of Nova Scotia in this matter.
The development of each of the provinces of this Dominion helps greatly
in the advancement of the whole.
THE CHARGE AGAINST THE  PREMIER OF NEW  BRUNSWICK.
A few days ago The Daily News
had an article showing the position
of the charge against Premier Flemming made by a member of the New
Brunswick legislature. The personnel
of the commission appointed to Investigate the charge has now been announced, and it will consist of Sir
Frederick Barker, formerly chief justice of New Brunswick; Judge McKeown of the supreme court, and Wi
D. Fisher of the firm of Bmmerson &
Fisher, hardware merchants of St.
John.
It will be within the recollection of
readers of The Daily News that Mr
Dugal, M.P.P., who preferred the
charge, said that the premier had extorted large sums of money from the
lumbermen of the province in connection with the administration of the
crown lands of the province and had
failed to account for the money so
secured. The personnel of the commission to investigate the charge will
satisfy all that the charge will he
thoroughly investigated and that the
judgment to be rendered thereon will
be an impartial one.

In the recent discussion on the tariff
In the house of commons, when three
members took part in It—Hon, W. T.
White, minister of finance, and
Messrs. Macdonald of Pictou and
Clark of Red Deer—there was developed the fact that the opposition are
by no means a unit on this Important
question—at least when they are in
opposition. The question before the
house was the tariff on iron and steel.
The Nova Scotian complained that the
tariff on them gave them inadequate
protection. The member from Alberta
found fault with the tariff on them
because the government did not go
farther than it did go in the direction
of free trade. Dr. Clark placed the
minister of finance and Mr. Macdonald, M.P., in the same category, as
national policy men. The only policy
which appeals to the member for Red
Deer is that which is favored 'by the
prairie farmer.
When Mr. White asked Mr. Macdonald what change he would favor in
the tariff as regards Iron and steel,
which by the way are manufactured
in the county of Pictou, represented
by Mr. Macdonald, he replied that the
opposition was not at present called
upon to formulate a tariff, but only
to criticize the proosals of the government. If, however, the opposition
were called upon to assume office,
Messrs. Macdonald and Clark would
both doubtless be called upon to be
cabinet ministers; and thereafter theii
variances would be dlBCussea behind
closed doors and each would have to
yield somewhat to the other—the free
trader to him who would favor protection at least on iron and steel, and
the protectionist to the free trader.
The fact ls that each of the two
members of the opposition mentioned
hails from a part of Canada In a different stage of development. Both
parties have their cross-currents, and
will have them until the prairie provinces will have developed a wider
range of interests and Industries. A
member is more or less influenced, it
may be unconsciously, by his environment and the interests or supposed interests of his constituents; and while
the party in power must express itself
in legislation which must be the same
for all Canada, those who are in opposition may, and not infrequently uo,
give expression to diametrically opposite principles while they are In opposition.

This dramatization of Kipling's fa*

here and ga"e the audience an opportunity to see Miss Verna Felton In an
unusual role. As the "Vampire" she
displayed her remarkable talent In a
way that completely won. the approval of the audience, which showed Its
appreciation 'by constant and hearty
applause. In the closing act of the
play the dramatic, force of the climax
takes a strong hold upon .the emotions
and hoth Miss Felton . and Norman
Feusier showed to. great, advantage,
holding their hearers In a silence tnat

Norman Feusier. .as. John Schuyler
had a part that was. strong in dramatic power and his presentation of
th^ despairing broken husk of a man
after the Vampire has ruined and disgraced him \vas a histrionic triumph.
Little Doris Leggle won approval
as the daughter of John Schuyler, the
natural interpretation of the part introducing a pleasing touch of 'brightness Into the bill. She was present*^
with a beautiful 'oral offering during
the first act.
Irving Kennedy as Tom 'Blake displayed his usual ability, being particu

Lillian FlBcher as the deserted wife
of Schuyler handled her part in
manner which made a strong appeal
to the' audience.

B. W. Leen of Crescent Valley Tells
of Success Achieved Under
Handicaps,
What can he accomplished in the
poultry industry in Kootenay and
Boundary even under handicaps such
as original lack of knowledge of the
English language is told by B. W.
Leen, the Crescent valley poultry fancier, who came to Canada three years
ago, has heen in the poultry business
in British Columbia for two years.
an<] who this year estimates that he
will make $2,00(1 clear profit out of his
husiness.
Three years ago Mr. Leon, who
could not at that time speak English,
arrived from Holland. Six months
later lie got a job with the Canadian
Pacific railway at Winnipeg as switch,
man. In an accident both his arms
were broken and shortly afterwards
he came to Crescent valley.
The first year he had ISO chickens
and ducks and made a profit Of J800,
he stated yesterday.
This year he has 440 chickens and
45 ducks. Last month lie sold over
$000 worth or hatching eggs, chicks
and ducklings and from liis ranch this
years be figures that he will make at
least $2,000.
He declares that he knows of no
poultry which will give as big profits
as ducks fiiifi this year plans to raise
2,000 ducklings. Ten-week old ducks,
be says, will weigh from 5% to 7 lbs.
each and will sell for 23 lo 25 cents
per lb. live weight. Me states that
lie can easily sell all ho can produce.
Success in tbe duck business, Mr.
Leen declares, depends chiefly on tbe
strain of 'birds, as tiie Pekln breeds
vary greatly in value from a commercial point of view and in methods of
feeding. "The most important thing
of all is reeding," said Mr, Leen, who,
to illustrate the success of his system, mentioned that In April be secured 955 eggs from 37 ducks. He
found it easy to sell them for hatching purposes.
The climate of Kootenay and Boundary and the fair prices paid for eggs
and poultry generally make the district one of the best for the poultry
industry, said Mr. Leen.
Somo of his success Mr. Leen attributes to a special system of batching and feeding chickens which experience has taught him to be most efficient.
SELECTING HIGH-
YIELDING  POTATOES
(By E. A. Rogers, In the Country
Gentleman, i
Present agitation over potato diseases Is bound to result in a great deal
<>f good to all who arc interested In
this crop. Jt'dr too ninny of the potatoes sent out for seed purposes in the
past were not free from disease and
not well enough sorted to bring top
prices  In   the market.
Thc quarantine against potatoes imported from countries where powdery
scab exists has emphasized the necessity for better protection between
states to prevent the spreading of the
diseases we already have. Here and
there individuals have worked along
tho lines of selection for the larg
yields and the highest tjuntlty, but this
has not been generally practicod by
any neighborhood. It is doubtful if
there Is a single locality where southern growers can hoy 25 carloads of
any variety that has been bred and
selected to give the best yield possible.
The difference in yield produced by
individual tubers of tho same variety
will vary from 50 bushels to more
than 5tio bushels an acre—this with
exactly the same treatment and wilh
each potato before being cut and
planted showing apparently the same
vigor and sizo of starting sprouts.
Therefore one must start with single
tubers.    To simplify  the work,  tubers
i f ocjual size should be taken and each
one   cut   into   the    same    number    of
pieces,   usually   four.     Then   the   four
hills   made   ror each   tuber should   be
Staked off separately In the row.    Not
less   than   SO  potatoes   of any   varh
should  be  used, and  out of these it
doubtful   if   there   will   be   saved
digging time the product of more than
seven or eight, the 'balance being not
enough above the average lo wan-
further labor.
Greening   to   Bring   Out   Vigor
The product of each of these sc
or eight potatoes should make about
100 hills the next season, and these
should again be kept separate In the
rows. Not so large a percentage will
be thrown out in the second year
probably not more than two or three
of the seven or eight saved from the
first year's work. These should give
a heavy uniform yield and should furnish seed enough for about one acre
by the third season.
Just why inherent weakness will not
show at all the first year I do not
know, but the fact remains that some
individual potatoes that arc* among the
highest producers the first season fall
away behind the second year. For
Ihis reason it seems to be absolutely
necessary that at least two years be
given to selection if the best field
results are to be obtained. Some individuals will give a large yield the
first season and will keep It up for
several years, and i-n the business of
growing potatoes for others to plant
there Is little need of producing them
from tubers that will not give a heavy
crop each year. Care in this matter
insures seed much more free from disease, which not only helps the southern grower, but will actually increase
the yield of the northern grower anywhere from 10 to 100 per cent, an acre,
depending on the variety and the extent to which it has been run out previously.
Along with the imtfortance of careful selection and breeding comes the
almost equal necessity for the southern grower's knowing how to fit the
seed properly before planting. With
present conditions in lhe seed-potato
trade more good can ibe accomplished
in the next two or three years hy the

TUBERCULOSIS
IN SKIMMED MILK
Feeding of This Material Is Frequent
Cause of Dissemination of Bovine   Disease.
Elimination of bovine tub-suculosis,
on account of the wide distribution
of tlie disease, will necessarily be
a long and tedious process. But If
every farmer und creamery operator
would ik> his share (toward preventing
tho spread at* "infection to calves and
pigs a large part of the problem would
be solved.
The practice of feeding skim milk
and slime from the separator bowl in
a raw stole bas been a prolific cause
or dissemination, Numeraire investigations li-ave shown that emonmous
losses can be traced lo this careless
practice. In nearly all dairy sections
it has frequently been recommended
that such feed of unknown and mixed
origin be pasteurized, but in only a-
few Instances has It been done.
Tho state of Pennsylvania last year
resorted to a very simple law that
should have tho desired effect. Tbe
following section gives all the necessary information: "Kvery owner, operator or manager of a creamery,
cheese factory, receiving station or
skimming station Shall, before returning to or delivering to any person or
persons Wny skim milk or separator
Slop, to be used ror feed or feeding
purposes for calves or swine, cause
such skim milk bo be thoroughly pasteurized by heating IL lo at least 178
degrees Fahrenheit."
than can possibly be accomplished by
selecting and breeding in the north.
for the simple reason lhat it will be
two or three years yet before well-
bred, selected seed can be had In any
great quantity.
I know of no one thing that will
bring out all the vigor and producing
power in a seed potato like greening
It in the direct rays of the sun for a
week or two before cutting and planting. Seed tubers taken out of a cold
slorebou.se or cellar, with the eyes
dormant, are not In a fit condition fur
planting. I have seen many acres
with from 10 to 50 per cent, of plants
missing wholly from this cause. Natural forces of decay always'begin Work
on the cut surfaces of the tubers, and
if the eyes are dormant this decay
will get a good start long before (lie
eyes are in a lively condition, in
many eases the seed piece will be
nearly destroyed before the sprout
gets  lo  the surface.
In addition to what t have termed1
the natural forces of decay we have
what might be termed the light potato
diseases, like stem rot and fusarinm
blight. These caused such a poor lot
of plants, that many-acres in the,
Hastings potato belt'' 'In Florida \v,\&
to be plowed up a year ago, causing
a tremendous loss to many growers.
Xo grower can afford not to soak
bis seed tubers In the formalin solution. After soaking they should In-
Spread out In the direct rays of thc
sun for a week or io days if this is
possible without freezing. Thc formalin kills all sprouts that have started
and it Is usually a week or mure before the eyes get lively again. It Is
much better for this to tako place before the tubers are cut Ihnn after
cut pieces are In the ground.
In cutting, all tubers Showing si,
of disease of any kind should be
thrown away and the knife disinfected in a very strong solution or formaldehyde. Many who buy Irish Cobblers this spring will find at Icasi 10
per cent, affected with lhe fusarinm
blight. To cut and plant thoso In the
old way wijM leave hardly one chanei
In a hundred of getting out whole.
Ten per cent, may seem a great waste,
but it is far better lo throw them
away before planting than to lose
them afterward and plant that much
more Infection in the fields. In nine
cases out of ten a diseased seed tuber
will no! make money for any one win.
plants it.
Again the Cobbler, which is one of
tbo best of the early varieties for thc
southern grower, has become very
badly mixed. Among the Cobbler seed
I have seen during the past winter
there is an average of nearly 10 per
cent, other varieties. If these other
varieties are about the same season
as the Cobbler not much harm will he
done, but if they are of a late variety,
like tho Green Mountain, the loss is in
almost direct proportion lo the amount
mixed In.
Hero is where on* great advantage
of direct sun greening comes in: An
Irish Cobbler potato will turn almost
purple when exposed to the direct
rays of tbe sun, while a Green Mountain or almost all of the white sprouts
Will only begin to turn a light green
in the same length of lime. This
makes it possible to pick out the true
Cobblers almost as easily as though
they were apples.
Somo writers assert that Lhe Bi
Eureka and tbe Irish Cobbler
identical, but this Is not so. The
Early Eureka has a while blossom and
white sprouts and the tuber Itself will
always turn a light green at first in
stead of the true Cobbler's purple, j
know of no potato that takes more
light and sun to turn It green than the
Early Eureka. A much better class
of seed will be sent south nest yea
than bas been tbe case the past win
ter; but for the present season those
who will disinfect and then green their
seed tubers before planting will in
crease their crop far beyond belief.

would be liable under the act.
W R. Knowles. Moose .liiw, thought
the legislation wus dangerous,
Mr. Doherty replied that the evil
which Mr. Knowles feared existed under tho present law. If money had
heen paid the person who circulated
a Talse advertisement in order to secure that money he was already liable
to criminal prosecution for fraud.
Says Easterners Tell the Lies.
Mr. Knowles added tliat most of the
representations in regard to western
real estate were made hy eastern people.
"Hear, hear," said Mr. Bennett, Calgary.
"It is western land but the Hers
are eastern liars," said Mr. Knowles.
Mr. Doherty said there was no desire to make this a heinous offence,
but to provide a mild punishment aa
a deterrent and to stop people from
making false advertisements in regard
to real estate*.
P. B. Carvell heartily approved of

Indian Dances vs, Turkey Trot
An amusing discussion as to the respective merits of the dances of the
Indians and white people took place
at the evening silting, in considering
the hill tu amend thc Indian act. One
provision of the bill will prevent an
Indian taking part In a dance away
from his own reserve. Objection was
taken tn the clause ,by W. R Knowles,
Moose Jaw, who said that the* Indians
should be allowed to visit one another
if they desired to do so.
"As for the Indian dances," he said,
"they are ahead of the tango and
turkey trot you see in Ottawa."
Premier Borden, who -was in charge
of the bill, remarked jocularly that
"those in Ottawa who dance the tango
and turkey trot do not go outside their
own reBerve,"
lie sold that the object of the clause
was to prevent Indians being taken
away from itho reserves for, weeks (it
a time to prepare for stampedes and
ikhUbitlnns or various kinds.   This, he
said, was unsettling the red man.
Earlier In the discussion, |*\ ];. Car-
veil asked Hon. Frank Oliver what was
(lie difference between an Indian and
a white man.
"The Indian Is luntumlly a gentleman," replied the member for Edmonton  without hesitation.
Pacific Has Great Fisheries
Hon. .j. I). Hiisicn's bill with respect
to dho Inspection and branding of
pickled fish was given a first and
second reading and then referred to
lhe marine and fisheries committee,
Tho pickled fish industry, said Mr.
Mazen, was in a languishing condition,
due partly to the poor packages in
common use, which ruined thc contents
ln transportation, and partly to the
lack of proper system of grading and
careless and unsystomatle methods of
packing. The legislation will apply to
both Pacific and Atlantic coasts and
■the minister expressed the opinion thut
there was a great future for the fishing Industry on the Pacific coast.

When thc bill to amend the Export
act, which authorizes tiie government
under conditions of national peril to
prohibit the export nf petroleum from
crown lands, was taken up, Premier
Borden offered an amendment providing the action of lhe government In
this regard must be confirmed by parliament. ,
Hon. Prank Oliver said that the
main objection to thc bill was not met
by the amcndmenl. The bill should
stain distinctly the conditluns which
would call for government action. He
said that Alberta was at present nil
the ovo of a large development in oil
production. Capital wa3 being attracted to this province and it would
be unwise to discourage this development.
Mr. Borden said It would 'be difficult
to meet the objection advanced hy Mr.
Oliver, as It was almost impossible to
set forth in the 1*111 the conditions
which would Justify tho government
in prohibiting thc export of oil. He
said ilhat only in grave circumstances
would the government exercise its
■power. That in itself would be a

NEW HOPE
FOR SUFFERERS
FROM PARALYSIS
. There are cases of paralysis that
cannot be cured, but that Is far different from saying that every ease of*
paralysis Is Incurable. There is aiofio-**
liite proof that many forms of this
disease are curable.' Of the cases that.
canr-it be cured many can he so benefited that the formerly hopeless sufferer will once more find life worth
Wvlnir,
Attention Is called to the remarkable
cures that (have been effected in cases
of partial paralysis, and other bot-
ere nervous disorders by the u*e of
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People. Some of these cures are fo
wonderful as t0 eJh.i'llenge belief, but
'iii! every case the statements bave
been carefully verified, and may be
nvHr'i,Sa'jed by anyone Interested.
In 'this connection the case of Mh
B. Millehan, of St. John, N. B., Is
wtrirthy of t'he immt careful attention. Miss Mllle'hnn says: "Some
three veirs ago I wns taken aerlou&V
111 with diptherJa. The doctors brousrht
me safely through this dreaded trouble
an{] I was assumed to be -well. But two
weeks later I took a relapse, my throat
and1    limbs    becoming    paralyzed.     I
could neither speak nor walk. I was
under trie best c,f medical care, and
ufior a few weeks was aiblc to sit nip
in bed, but >my throat was still completely paralyzed1 and '( could only
utter unintelligible sounds. I was
treated by three of St. Jcton's best
■physicians for this trouble, and my
case was give*;] up as hopeless. A
friend asked me t*o try Dr. Williams
D'nk pills, but I had spent so much
on medicines without help that 1
thought H would be only a further
was/to of money. However, 1 felt myself growing daily weaker and weaker,
■lfld I decided as a last chance that
I would toy the pills. By the time T
bad taken a half dozen boxes I could
walk across the floor, something the
doctors had told me could sever happen attain. I still continued taking the
piMs; mv -speech returned and I fit
myself in perfect health. My fnendif
though my reE'to'ratlon ncOhlng ehort
of a miracle, and I think mvsplf that
1 have to thank Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills that I am living today, and 1 fee]
confident they can do iiuitp ag much
for others as tihey did for oie."

A
B. SMITH has a dry goods store in a cer-
t tam Canadian City. He does a good business, but wants
to do more. He believes that Advertising in his local newspaper is the
way to get more business. So he advertises—every now and then.
This is where our friend Smith is wrong—in advertising every now and
then. He should advertise regularly—as frequently as his local newspaper
is published.
Smith says he wants to advertise regularly, but he can't always find the time
to prepare advertisements, which is true, for he is his own buyer, sales-
manager, director of store service, credit man and half-a-dozen other things.
What Smith should do is this: If he is located in one of the smaller cities, in
which there are no advertising agencies giving a local copy service, and he
has no one among his own staff qualified by instinct or experience to
write the daily announcements, he should go to the publisher of the newspaper in which he means to advertise, requesting his help. In nine cases
out of ten, the publisher, through his advertising manager, will be only too
glad to give Smith the assistance desired.
If Smith is located in one of the larger cities he should secure the services
of a recognized advertising agency which will take over the work of preparing his advertisements.
In this way Smith can be sure of having his advertisements prepared regular^ and intelligently, with no more trouble to him than the supplying of
the information required by the writer of the advertisements.
So Smith can do more business, and more business means a larger income
for himself, to say nothing of other gains that go hand in hand with the
doing of bigger business.
This man Smith-
-do you know him?
Are YOU Smith?
If you are doing * local business talk over your advertising problems with the Advertising Department of this newspaper.
If you are doing a provincial or national business it would bo well for you to have
the counsel and assistance of a good advertising agency. A list of these will be furnished, without cost or obligation, by the Secretary of Canadian Press Association,
Room 503, Lumsden Building, Toronto.

Public Neglects Market*—Grand
Trunk Droops.
(Western Associated Press Speeial
Cable.)
LONDON, May 8.—The stock market was again dull. The public neglect was more complete than ever
ami there was severe liquidation, especially In Canadian Pacific railway
and Hudson's Bay. Paris unloaded
heavily In tlie forenoon but afterward
the French banks extended concerted
support, The -diamond and pearl trade
of France Is reported to be seriously
embarrassed, which partially explains
the sales of securities. The unsatisfactory news from Mexico, the Franco-
German Incident in Alsace-Lorraine
and the continued illness of the emperor of AuBtrla all helpe(] to accentuate the depression.
Canadian Pacific railway was sold
heavily in Berlin and did not rally,
the closing being 105 1-8. Grand
Trunk drooped and Hudson's Bay was
flat with the closing quotation 8 fi-8.
Call money was wanted at from 2
per cent downward. Bill rates were
firm, the three months accommodation rate being 2 3-4,

CUBAN LOTTERY
Seventy   Thousand   Dollars   Made   in
Month by Issuing Spurious Tickets
Says Deputy—Direotor Denies
'' (By Daily Newa Leased Wire)
.HAVANA, May 8.—A sensation was
created in the house of representatives
i, today when Mr. Hagartt announced
that a big fraud was being perpetrate
ed with lottery tickets 'by the 'printing
of two scries, one for ilic Cuban gov-,
eminent and genuine, the other spur
ious, for sale abroad. Senor Hagdra
said the persons sending abroad the
spurious tickets were reaping a profit
of $70,000 each month from their sale:
The director of thc lottery said tonight that tlie report that two sets
of tickets had been printed was due
to tho fact that there waa an error
on the backs of some of the ticket
and that these had been recalled and
duplicates issued for them. He denied
emphatically that illegal tickets were
being  issued.

amalgamation on the part of these
two Institutes. Tho personnel of thc

Tevlotdale, Dr. Newton Wolverton and
C. Q. Johnson. Tho action followed
thc reading of a communication from
P. J. Devine, secretary of thc Shirley
District Farmers' Institute, suggest*
Ing that by amalgamation In buying
and selling their produce thc matter
might be attended to much more eas
lly than It Is at the present time and
that much more satisfaction might re
suit.
The secrotary of the local Institute
was last night Instructed to write R.
F. Green, M. P. for Kootenay, asking
him to use his endeavors to have the
inauguration of thc rural mall delivery from iNelson to Balfour along thc
Balfour road made as early as possible.
The necessity of a public nfarkel In

ing and thc secretary was asked to
write the board of trade and ratepayers' association in order that co-opera
tivc steps might l>e taken In an effort
to bring about such legislation as will
make it possible to have" a (public

shipment of flour and feed for members of the Institute at as early a. date

Premier  McBrtde  Hears  Proposal  by
President  Jonathan   Rogers  of
Vancouver Board of Trade,
fBy Daily News Leased Wlrel
VANCOUVER, B. C, May S.—Tiie
creation of machinery to prevent the
flotation in Great Britain of wild-cat
schemes for the sale of British Columbia land, timber or mining properties was suggested to Premier McBrldc by Jonathan Rogers, president
of the board of trade, in an interview
which he had with Sir Richard at Victoria today.
"I told tlle premier that I thought
it would be a good stop lor the provincial government to tako," said Mr.
Rogers today. "I explained that the
activity of wild-catters who attempted
to unload worthless propositions on
British investors could not but have
a bad effect on all British Columbia
investment, no matter how ineritor
ioua. He agreed with mc and when
I suggested legal machinery lie set
in motion in order to stop the: llota
tion of absolutely worthless schemes,
he said that, the question would eer
Laluly ibe taken up."
President Rogers is to put his views
on the subject in wilting before tin
provincial executive. One suggestion
which was made, It Is said, was that
sonic official investigation into all
British Columbia propositions vended
on the London market might be made
in order to place, as It were, the stamp
of approval on thoso which were worth
while. If such an official InvcRtteft-
lions were offered, apart altogether
from anything compulsory, the Investors, it. Is believed, would Boon demand from each promoter that he
submit his scheme to government
scrutiny. .

FEARS CANADA MAY
BE AMERICANIZED
Toronto    Correspondent     of     London
Times Forgets Western Associated
Press  British  News Service
(Western Associated   Press Special
Cable.)
LONDON, May !).—The Toronto correspondent of the Times contributes
an article of a column and a half in
length, entitled "The Americanization of Canada," in which What he
calls thc "imperial problem" is described. The correspondent asks: "Do
Ihe British people understand and reflect upon Imperial problems In their
complexity to Canada? It seems to be
the fashion," he says. "In Great Britain to regard Canada as bound to
thc motherland by historic tradition,
by long association, by common Interest and sentiment. Probably these
sentiments are inspired by common
■Canadian patriotism but the great influx of immigrants has created new
problems. Is it certain that they can
be moulded Into a common devotion
lo the umpire, that they can never be
attracted by a vision of an Independent Canadian republic "
In support of his arguments that
there is a movement to Americanize
Canada, the correspondent draws attention to a newspaper service which,
unlike the Western Associated Press,
relegates British news to Hie background In favor of items from America, thereby proving that he is dealing
with a newspaper condition of Canada of 10 years ago and not of today, 'because every Canadian newspaper is now giving more attention
to British news for its news value,
than It is devoting to news from the
United States.
"We arc all passive imperialists,"
says the correspondent, "but there are
elements In Canada, to which an appeal against imperialism can ho made,
who know no 'mother country.'"

Naturalization
(By Daily News Leased Wire.)
TORONTO, May 8.—The Daughters
of tho Empire held a special meeting
this morning prior to their departure
£or Hamilton as the guests of the
Hamilton chapter.
"Canada la a magnet of wonderful
power," said Mrs, W. J. Brown, who
spoke on immigration, "whose greatness and "wealth are drawing with
irresistible force the restless and ambitious foreigner from all over the
world.
"In 10 years 1,710,32(1 Immigrants
came rto Canada and In the last two
years they have come at the rato of
•100,000 a year. The law should be
changed which gives the immigrants a
vote after they are three years In the
country, except in the ease of the
Uritish Immigrant, It is dangerous
lo give the vote to such men, who are
but tools fn the hands of unscrupulous
politicians. One irresponsible foreign
vote kills the vote of one Canadian."
