The Easter Song Service held in the United Church, Greenwood, on Sunday evening was excellent. The well-filled Church was treated to a splendidly arranged program. The choir rendered several Easter anthems and the songs sung by individuals were much appreciated, but the pantomine depicting that wonderful hymn "Nearer My God T'o,Thee" was indeed most artistically carried out and those-taking part and also the ones responsible for the training deserve great praise. The Church was very tastefully decorated and great credit is due to all who made the whole evening such a very pleasing one. - A big crowd took in the Women's Auxiliary Dance on Easter Mondav in Riverside Hall.

EXPERIMENT WITH COLOR IN COMEDY An Absent-minded Professor - Two of the University of Pennsylvania track runners, passed a learned and preoccupied professor showine; a young lady visitor through the "Gardens." With a dainty shiver the girl "It's dreadfully cold���isn't it?���to be without stockings." The professor's mind turned for a moment from contemplation of the fourth dimension. "Then why did you leave them off?" he asked. Toronto.���A remarkable game of bridge was played in Dundas on Saturday, April 7th. Dr."W.-E. Inksater, playing a game with three other friends, dealt a hand of 13 diamonds to himself and called seven diamonds.- W. Inksater, his son, had next call and called seven spades, is he had 13 spades in his hand. This finished the bidding, as F. Alway had 13 clubs and Bruce Inksater had 13 hearts. The latter player laid down his hand and let his dad get a grand slam. It is the first time that a hand of this description has been reported in Canada. The chance of getting one complete suit hand in bridge is about one in seven millions, but four complete suits on the one deal is almost beyond all calculations. The cards were from an old pack, an the cuts for partners and deal were made in the usual manner. Setting another precedent for film' comedy, Harry Langdon has introduced technicolor into "Long Pants," his new First National fun feature, to be shown at the Greenwood Theatre on Saturday, April 14th. The step is absolutely revolutionary for comedy, as .much so, in fact, as Langdon's introduction of a blind '' heroine--into "The Strong Man," his current sensation'. Climaxing weeks of preparation, a' battery of special technicolor cameras, were moved onto the Langdon set at ,- Burbank," Cal., during the last week of ..' production, and one entire sequence of the new picture was filmed in natural tints. An elaborate special setting was built for the sequence, representing'a med- '' ieval castle, its garden and its courtyard. Against this background Langdon" and Alma Bennett, one of his five.' leading ladies, enacted scenes in which romance and pathos vied with hilarious comedy - ���It Is- understood that Langdon in- ��� troduced technicolor Into his latest- picture as an experimental measure. .

Baby's Own Tablets Declared To Be Worth Their: Weight In Gold A mother has only to use Baby's Own Tablets once to be convinced that nothing else can equal them in | fcanJsliinff the ins> ��f her little one3,1 Once used, always used, as long as there are small children in the home ���that is the - tribute thousands of mothers pay lhe Tablets. Among -the many, many mothers who are anxious to tell of thcir experience with Babv's Own Tablets is Mrs. Griffith, of East Hamilton, Ont., who ������writes:���"Shortly: after coming: to Canada I began, giving the Tablets: i to my baby boy who was then six weeks old. The result was so pleasing that since that timc 1 have always kept the Tablets in the house. I havo two children now and both of them1 are the picture of health. Baby's Own TabletsTare- lhe_only_fnedicinc_they have ever had and I really believe the Tablets to be worth their weight in gold." Baby's Own Tablets are free from all injurious drugs and can be given to the youngest babe with absolute safety. They are sold by medicine dealers or by maij at 25 cents -a box by The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. "So they were," he answered. "I was raised on the farm, but I never liked it. That's why I came down to New York in the first place. And when dad died I sold the farm and bought the paper���the old Middleboro Gazette. Couldn't get the virus of printer's ink out of my system." I waited for Bert to go on, but- he said nothing more in response to my question. "I meant your gold mine," I ventured after a moment of silence. "What sort of business have you been in? You seem to have been successful." Bert looked at "me with a puzzled expression, as. if he thought I was trying to kid him. "Why, I pist told you," hc said. "I bought the Middleboro Gazette." I saw at once that I must have seemed stupid to Bert. Some big industry had picked' Middleboro for it�� plant and. made the country ��� village into a big city, as the General Electric did at Schenectady. But for the life of me I couldn't'remember which industry it was. Middleboro? I couldn't think of anything to connect the name of the town with. But T didn't let on to Bert. "Oh, I see," I responded cheerfully. "And as the lown grew" big enough for a doily you grew with it, eh? Pine! What's your population now, anyway?" "About the same as it always,has been:.maybe a little less," he answered. "Around 2,000.; But we've got a circulation of more than 3,000. Not so bad for a country weekly, -vhat? Bc a long time before Middleboro will need a daily, if,any." "Hold on a minute, Bert," I gasped. "Let rhe get this straight. You've been right there in Middleboro for twenty years, running a country weekly'in a Lown of 2,000 people, and now you've retired on your income and your wife goes shopping in Fifth Avenue and Oh, what's the use? I just can't seem to get this straight. If I hadn't known you as well as I used to, I'd think you were trying to put one over on me. Do you mean to tell ine that anybody ever made that much money, or...: any ' money : more than a bare living, and a poor one at that, out of a conutry weekly? You must have some property besides that, Bert." "I have now, of course." He grinned back at me. "Naturally I've made investments, same as any business man does" with his suiplus. I've got a block of stock in the Middleboro. National and some shares'-in the creamery and the cold-storage plant, and a few pieces-* of business property in the town, and one thing and another of that sort;- But it all came out of the Gazette in the first place, and all I had to start with waa' the $3,000 mother and I got for the farm after dad died. Of course, I've plowed a lot of the profits back into the paper���have to keep a newspaper plant up to date, you know. It'll inventory now���the plant���around $25,-" 000, and the building's worth another $10,000; goodwill and all, I wouldn't take $50,000 for the Gazette. ���It earns now around 40 per cent, on that figure, and you've no idea how far $20,000 a-vear will go in a town the size of Middleboro."

Value Of Chemical Fire Extinguisher Device Is Best Known Form Of First , Aid The secretary of the National Fire Prevention Association, who spoke in Montreal before the Safety League, stressed the value of chemical (fire extinguishers not only for institutions, but for private residences. "These devices - are the- best form of first aid yet developed, and a very great number of fires in North America havo been extinguished by the intelligent use of these extinguishers in the hands of householders and employees." Buys Canadian Wheat The people of'the West will be surprised to learn that Germany bought 48,496,258 bushels of the Canadian wheat that went out of Montreal last [-year, and Great" Britain 38,644,486 bushels; Holland bought 33,554,497 bushels; Italy, 19,301,344 bushels and Belgium, 19,179,566 bushels. ��� Industrialism In Alberta Alberta's progress since it3 creation into a province in 1905 is indi-.., cated by the increase in the number of industrial establishments from 97 in that year to 739 .last year; In the same interval the production increased from $5,000,000 to $65,000,000.

W. N, N. 1728 Have Different Methods Telephone girls in New York hotels know where a guest comgs from by the way he answers the phone. A guest from the South will usually answer "All right," instead of "Hello." Those from Canada say "Yes." While those from the -Mid- West usually answer with a "Well?" out of any country weekly paper anywhere, any time. As my old Yankee granddad used to say, it beats my time. You're sure you're" making that out of the paper, not out of the job-printing business?" I must give Bert credit for being good-natured. He always was; and besides, he'd always liked me fti the old days and he knew I liked him a lot. Some men would have got mad to be questioned that way, "but he knew*I was friendly and interested. "The job-printing'business "accounts for about, a quarter of it," he said, answering my latter question first. "Job printing's", a minor item in a modern country newspaper office instead of being the main reliance, as it used to be. It's a specialty that hasn't got anything really to do with making a newspaper. Fact is, my younger "boy���they're both with me in the business now, running the shop ���the younger one, Joe, has got-an idea he could do bettor with the job plant If he had it out under its own roof, and we're fixing now to incorporate that separately and let hln�� see what he can make of it. But the old Gazette, standing alone on its own hind legs, has pulled down better than $15,000 a year net for me every ! year for the past five or six years, and ' it's getting better all the time. "Yes, you're right," he went on. "It does beat your time. It's a new thing, this development of the country weekly into a remunerative industry, instead of a hazardous gamble, with the odds all aginst the editor and publisher, as it used to be.'It wasn't any too easy the first few years I had the Gazette, though I always took down more than I needed to live on right from the start.

Mcintosh, M.P. for North Battleford, and proprietor of the North Battleford News, at a luncheon given by the Toronto Men's Liberal Association. Years-ago, he continued, Canadians flocked across the, border, as there'were no railroads in the back country. Today lines were being constructed and the result was that tho country was filling up with good families from-all over thc world. Speaking of immigration, Mr. Mcintosh saidjiis district was populated by people from all parts of the world. "These people," lie said, "who. have toiled and labored to make homes for themselves must be given a place in the governing of our country. Otherwise in the future we will encounter trouble."

The note in question was Egypt's rejoinder to the British Government's latest note on the rejection by Egypt of the proposed treaty. In his explanation the premier dealt solely with Egypt's rejection of the British claim to the right of Interference witli Egyptian legislation and with Egypt's ability unaided to protect foreigners. Nahas laid stress on his desire to prepare the way for "real friendship." OTTAWA MAY CONTROLRADIO BROADCASTING Ottawa. ��� Government control of all radio broadcasting in Canada looms as a strong possibility of the future. They have such a system in Great Britain and it may come to it here before long. * While there has been no oflicial decision as yet, it is known that such a proposition is being considered by those who have to do with radio. A great deal of trouble is being experienced owing to the- fact tliat many people ��� a. fast increasing number���want to be into the broadcasting, whereas the channels of communication are very limited. Much conflict arises and complaints are very numerous' as to reception being spoiled and other disagreeable conditions existing. ' In consequence of "this, It is learned that some interests securing new licenses have-been, cautiously advised not to make extensive financial commitments lest; as a development of the near future, the whole broadcasting'business be taken over by the state. - Heretofore,-both in 'Canada and the States, control over radio has been by license, but-the broadcasts have been privately-owned enterprises. c In Great Britain it Is all done by the British Broadcasting Company, which is directly under the control of the British Government. Although similar course here has not been decided upon,.much is being said 'in favor of it and complaints regarding the present system tend strongly to encourage such a departure along the same lines as the Briy. tish method. It is regarded as a strong possibility of the not distant future. ' ' .

TIME TO GO TO MAT AND REMOVE UNCERTAINTY vmzz ���������*.wft;; (Grand Forks Gazette) When the present state of political " uncertainty in this piovince is considered it must be admitted that there is something to be said in favor of the American idea of having elections at fixed intervals, says the Summerland " Review. The United States system of government is more ngid than the Briti&h and less responsive to the will of the people, but m the matter of having elections at regular intervals it has its advantages On his return from attending the lecetft session of . th9 provincial legislatuie, D. McPherson, Liberal member for Grand Porks, was asked by the editor of the local newspaper, "Have you any opinion to , express regarding an election?"'. To 'which Mr. McPheison replied: "The matter is in the lap of the gods���or the lap of Dr. MacLean. It will depend on a number of things, the chief of which, I would suppose, is the P. G. E. sale. Por my part I feel that the sooner we have it over with the better.. There is still too much playing politics in our public life and the fears and prayers of some people under the stress of this expectancy cannot benefit any country at large." Mr. McPherson is quite right about the bad effect generally of a long period .of doubt ���as to when an election is - likely to take place. As matters stand 'in British Columbia today it.is not. t the desires or the best interests of the ',,.country that will be considered in con- '-'" nection with the fixing of the date of �������� tlie next election. The Government, 1 and it would be just the same if an- v other (set of men of a different political complexion were m power, will call the election whenever ib considers the - outlook is best to scoie a comeback. Should a favorable sale of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway elephant be made within the ne^t few months theh there will be an immediate elec- _^tion._But should the neggti^tigns^haiig ; fire for a considerable period it mighf v be postponed until 1929 and we will have still another pre-election session devoted largely to the making of ./political capital. While there is a good deal to be said on the other side of tho question, it is probable that the majority of electors will agree with the Liberal member for Grand Forks in expressing the opinion that the time - has come when the political parties of British Columbia shoulU go to the mat and remove,.the present state of uncertainly which is not good for the - ; province. SAVE THE FORESTS Butcher: "This pound of butter you sent me is three ounces short." Grocer: "Well, I mislaid the pound weight, so I weighed it by the pound of chops'you, sent me yesterday. Perplexed The car had broken down, and the pair of legs protruding from underneath seemed to indicate that repairs were in progress. "Had a breakdown?" inquired a passerby. "Oh, no, only playing hide-and-seek with the works," came a muffled voice from underneath the car. But the questioner was not easily daunted. "What power car is it?" "Forty horse." "What's wrong with it?" "Well, as far as I know." came the answer, "thirty-nine horses have bolted, and the remaining one is too upset to answer questions." William Greenwood, proprietor of the Two Friends Hotel, at Slocan City, died very suddenly on April 5th. He was an old-timer of the Slocan. It is appealing to learn that since the arrival of the white man in Canada, forest fires have destroyed 60% of her primeval forest wealth. Four or five times as much timber has been burned in this country as has been cut for th<*��uses of man and the requirements of commerce. Dissipation of our accessible timber supplies within a period of twenty-five years is forecast. To bring home to the minds of Canadians before it is too late, the tragic loss that will result to this country if our forest areas are totally destroyed, Canadian Forest Week has been set aside. In the press, in the schools, in clubs and public gatherings, the importance of Canada's forest industries will be drawn to public attention. If everybody in Canada realized that thousands of families and millions of capital are dependent upon the Canadian forests, everybody would think twice before throwing down lighted matches or cigarette stubs, or lighting fires in dangerous places and leaving them to spread on or below the surface of the ground. Carelessness has ���"������. destroyed 60%. The axe'has taken 13%. Only carefulness will save the 27% of our forest wealth that remains. Hon. Charles Stewart, Minister of the Interior, has to do with Canada's forests, and it-is encouraging to note his activity in arousing public opinion as to the situation and the. imperative need for care in preventing forest.fires A Satisfactory Explanation She: "So. ypu were in your last place three years?
