They found that Aslin had gathered together a combination of Yanks that had played before in many of the Class A.A. Leagues of thc States, and thc way they treated thc pitching of thc Canucks was, according to onc of the Canucks, "just awful." It was a merry-go- round of thc first order.

There was little hurrying and no excitement, but everybody was there on thc spot wrhen it came to signing up. The few who failed to register will have to do so this week through thc postmasters.

Special note was made of the Skinner Irrigation gystjem in operation at the Armstrong Public School. A pleasant social feature of the outing was the refreshments provided at the.

OKANAGAN COMMONER THURSDAY, JUNE 27, 1918 '< ' i - A Plea to the Town People lo Help Harvest Truth About 0War Tax The American War Revenue Bill, this year, is expected to vield $4,500,000,000. With a population of 100,000,000, this means a war lax equivalent to $45 for every person in thc country. Your part oi* the war taxes, if they were distributed according to population, woidd, therefore, be $15. If you paid less than this, who made up the deficil? Wasn't someone else's wealth 'conscripted' to do it? Of course it was and the heaviest payments i'or llu: cost of lhe war were borne, a.s they properly should bc, by those best able to pay them. They were paid without grumbling, no matter how hard or heavy lhcy were. The war tax bill of the Steel, Corporation alo?ic was nearly $250,000,000. How many deficiencies in lhe per capita lax did this help to make up"? Thej Steel Corporation' tax would | have paid the per capila tax of $-i5 each I'or an army of 5.500.- 000 or as many as we expect lo bave fighting under our flag in this great war. The new revenue bill now in course oI"'preparation will call for $8,000,000,000 tioned per capita mean a war lax ol" man. woman and United Stales, ll that next vear tlie per capita tax will be $100.

First things (.must come first��������������������������� food will be a most important factor in winning the war. The campaign for increased production of food which has been carried on so successfully throughout the Dominion ne-. cessitales��������������������������� an increased supply of labor in the harvesting of tbe crops. Already the supply of farm labor is inadequate to meet this increased demand and farmers everywhere are looking to their fellow-Canadians in the towns and cities to supplement the supply. No matteer what happens the crop must be taken off, and who is to do it? if lhe able-bodied men in our towns and cities will look seriously at this vital question, many of them will gladly respond to thc appeal made by lhc registration cards for assist- ancc. Every town and cily in British Columbia can spare numbers ol" men who arc now engaged in occupations which are not essential to our national safety and well-being at the present'time. These men may not be eligible to shoulder a gun at the front but they can and ought to Tielp to feed the man behind thc gun. Every employer and employe should read carefully the following: "A day of reckoning is coming; a day when that irresistible force, Public Opinion, is going to judge a man by his work, and will judge employers by thc work they are retaining men to do. Men and women will look hard at the clerks in stores, offices, warehouses and factories. We arc down to cl- emcntals today, and our people will not tolerate thc thought that while so many of our sons are perishing in the bloody struggle in France, so many men arc doing work at home lhat can easily and efficiently bc done by women without sacrifice lo Iheir womanhood and health."

May it not bc that those who contributed their services on June 22nd set a standard that all democracies musl follow! THE FINISHED COMMODITY Here is a business proverb lhal is well worth remembering. It reads: "The country that sells raw materials will always be poor, just as the farmer who sells his corn, and not hogs, will never lift the mortgage." It has been put in another way: "Let your produce -walk lo markcl." Thc farmers who arc doing this, no matter wherc lhcy live, always will be found to be thc real saviors of thc community. Thc mintage of wisdom is to know how to utilize our raw materials. To burn a barn in order to kill all thc mice has been recommended to bc effective. But it is not 'a-policy to be commended. Exports of raw materials and foodstuffs mean skimming our milk and giving the cream away. Even when wc Iced lhe produce to hogs and sell the hogs at as high as eighteen aijd nineteen cents a pound live weight, avc are, as a community,0 getting the small end of it. Kill those hogs ancl make them into bacon and ham and the price rises to 45 and 60 cents per pound. These arc today's prices, and arc abnormal. But under ordinary conditions, in normal times, the difference between the raw material price and thc finished commodity is approximately the same. explanation ment did not mean exactly what he said. There can bc no condoning ollicial mistakes in dealing with mailers of such moment. The need for men is so urgent, thc Gcrman army is so insistently strong, and lhc menace of defeat is so threatening, that there should bc no official wool- pulling that requires an aftermath of explanation.���������������������������Printer and Publisher.

There was a very large chicken and a very small duck on lhc table, and the lady, who was doing thc carving, asked, "Johnny, which will you take; chicken'or duck?" "Duck," piped Johnny.

STEVENS VICTORY ON ITALIAN FRONT The war news of the past few days from the Italian front is the most encouraging that has been received from any quarter in many months ( If reports are true, the Austrians suffered a reverse of thc first magnitude, and the Italian army redeemed its lost prestige resulting from the ignoble retreat of last fall. The Austrians, apparently havc been forced to give up all the recently-won positions on the west pank of the Piave river petween Montcllo and the sea. And the report states that nine Austrian divisions were annihilated and 45,000 prisoners and enormous stores are reported captured. Some days ago when the Austrian offensive gave promise of signal results, the Austrian high command gave out the. statement that Austrian soldiers and Austrian brains were alone responsible for the great achievement.

J^eave of Absence on GrxmwJs of Extreme Hardship. Jt is desired that the Regulations respecting leave of absence in cases of hardship should be widely known and fully understood. Such leave will be granted in two cases:��������������������������� (a) where extreme hardship arises by reason of the fact that the man concerned is either the only son capable of earning a livelihood, of a. father killed or disabled on service or presently in service overseas, or in training for such service, or under treatment after returning from overseas; or the only remaining of two or more brothers capable of earning a livelihood (the other brother or brothers having been killed or disabled on service, or being presently in service overseas, or in training for overseas or under treatment after his or their return from overseas); brothers married before 4th August, 1914, living in separate establishments and having a child or children not to be counted, in determining the fact that the man is the "only" remaining son or brother; (b) where extreme hardship arises by reason of exceptional circumstances such as the fact that the man concerned is the sole support of a widowed mother, an invalid father or other helpless dependents. , Jt is to be noted that in all thes-'e cases the governing factor is not hardship, loss or suffering to the individual concerned, but to others, that is, members of his family or those depending upon him. Procedure to obtain leave of absence. A simple system for dealing with these cases has been adopted. Forms of application have been-supplied to every Depot Battalion and an officer of each battalion has been detailed whose duty it is to give them immediate attention. The man concerned should on reporting to his unit state that he desires to apply for leave of absence on one or more of the grounds mentioned and his application form will then be filled out and forwarded to Militia Headquarters, Ottawa. In the meantime, if the case appears meritorious, the man will be given provisional leave of absence for thirty days so that he may return home and continue his civil occupation while his case is being finally disposed of.

The cover ������������������������������������������������������rop is. also a0means of reducing the moisture in the -soil by transpiration, and thus aids in ripening the wood of I'ruil trees liable to be injured. When thc soil has heen long cultivated,; oughly ripened before winter sets in, and by sowing thc seed early the growth of the tree should be. aided in ripening by the drying of the soil caused by thc transpiration of moisture from the growing c over 'crop.

Bet ore Sir Robert left for England the board was constituted, and Mr. Mcighcn discussed ils work and outlined a plan ol'-action. , Immediately preceding his departure for England lhc minister of the interior instructed the board to commence its deliberations at once, and as a result thc inaugural meeting has been'-held and monthly .meetings were decided upon, as well as" special meetings when considered desirable. " The board has already decided that the co-operation ot the provinces,.*-particularly of Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia is essential, as wilhin these provinces waterpowers of unlimited extent are available, and it is felt lhat they should bc utilized for power purposes at as early a date as can possibly be arranged for.
