The score was a fair indication\nof the play which was crammed with\nthrills from start to finish.\nSeveral hundred people attended\nthe match which was played in Athletic Park and it was evident from the\nexpressions of the crowd Cumberland\nhad as many supporters ns the Riverview team. Bcforo the game the\nO. B. Allan cup which was at stake\nrested 111 front of the front of the\ngrandstand beside Acting Mayor W.\nOwen, who later presented the cup\nto the winners. Mayor C. E.

The defense of Cumberland\nwas Impregnable with \"Cotton\" Miller hoofing Ihe pigskin from tho\ndanger zone limes too numerous to\nmention nnd wus ably supported In\nthe back line by Marshall-always\nconsistent. The half line wns a\nChinese puzzle to the opposing forwards and Messrs. Wlcr, Farmer and\nMitchell made monkeys nut of their\nopponents time and again. Aa was\nexpected lhe weakness of the team\nwas In the forward rank and It was\nthe brilliant work of Jock Stevenson nnd Andy Robertson that proved\nthe salient points of the attack.\nA Bustling Attack\nRiverview did nol play the same\nbrand of soccer that Cumberland\ndished up.

Featuring the work\nof the (cam was the grand defense.\nCrawford the right back put up a\nsplendid display. McArthur the centre\nforward was the bulwark of a strong\nforward rank whicli was the most\nformidable part of the team.\nTho toss was won by Riverview\nwho elected to kick the sun at their\nback.

Cumberland began to find themselves and the halves\ndid their stuff. Farmer was always in\nthe limelight hut for placing the\nball a little too far ahead of the forwards. Joek Stevenson and Donald\nWatson played a nice game on tho\nleft wing and the former wns the\nmost dangerous among the forwards. One Nelllce ln clearing sent\nthe bnll to the former who came\ncloser to scoring for Cumberland\nthan nt any previous stage when It\nsizzled past the wrong sldo of tlio\npost.

TWO\nTHE CUMBERLAND ISLANDER\nSATURDAY, MAY, 19th, 1923\nCUMBERLAND ISLANDER\nPublished every Saturday morning at\nCumberland, B. C.\nEDWARD W BICKLE\nTHE WORLD DO MOVE\nSATURDAY, MAY, 19th. 1923\nKEEPING POSTED\nIt used to be an old-time joke that\nsome people were so found ot newspapers that they even rend lhe advertisements.\nThat might have been a humorous\nremark years ago. At that period\nsome merchants would run an advertisement a whole year unchanged.\nClothing dealers would start 111 advertising January first with notice of\novercoats for sale, and would keep\non advertising overcoats until July.\nToday people read advertising as\nu matter of business. The women\nread it Just ns a farmer reads price\ncurrent or a banker reads the financial laws. They thereby get ideas as\nto how they can save on household or\npersonal expenses.\nProbably a majority of the women\nturn first to the advertising of their\nfavorite merchants and then read the\nnews later. The men also read the\nadvertising carefully. Even it they\nhave no business enterprises of their\nown, they are interested in the advertising ns a reflection of the business\nlife of the town.\nHence, it is perhaps unnecessary\nto suggest to the readers of this\nnewspaper that its advertising columns are worthy of the most careful\nattention. Still it is worth while to\nsay that there Is no time when advertising is worth such careful attention as in midsummer. All kinds\nof merchants have the proposition bo\nfore them of cleaning out their stocks\nbefore cool weather comes on. That\ntakes a good deal of publicity. The\ngoods will not move of themselves.\nThe public must be told about them\nand in some detail.\nThe slory of what is happening ill\nthe stores will be found 111 the advertising columns of this newspaper.\nMost of the newspaper readers are\nteeing it, and it will repay their closest scrunlty.\nQuite recently two aviators traveled across the continent, from const\nto coast, in twenty-seven hours.\nThrough the night they rushed above\nthe clouds and when the dawn broke\n[ they were relieved to recognize far\n1 elow them a ring around a cemetery that assured them they had kept\nthe course and were headed right.\nWhat a marvelous achievement!\nYet we read of this amazing feat ln\nthe evening papers and turned away\nto the routine habits of the hour.\nIt ls an amazing age in which we\nlive, and no one can foresee the end\nof human accomplishment within the\nnext decade.\nTo think that we should have lived\nto see the day when men should fly\nthrough the air, almoBt from Bun to\nsun, a journey that fifty years ago\nrequired months of hard travel.\nTruly the world does move, and this\nnicclianic.ll age is bringing marvelous\nachievements. And yet we hear\nyoung men rail at the lack of opportunity and see them waBtlng their\ntime In pool rooms.\nWhat a splendid thing to be a young\nman today if one only had the gumption to realize the possibilities of\nyouth.\nllev. Livingstone\u00E2\u0080\u0094says there are\nonly a few persons bull-headed\nenough to risk a long conversation\nwith a book agent.\nDavis\u00E2\u0080\u0094says about one-fourth of\nthe world's work is repairing someone's mistakes.\n* * *\nThe old-fashioned boy who was\nwhipped for playing marbles for\nkeeps now lias a son who won't even\nplay matrimony for keeps.\nCHOOSE YOUR FRIENDS\nA man Is known by the company\nhe keeps. You certainly are Judged\nby your associates. In every small\ntown there are cliques and sets and\nthe Main street crowd never fooled\nanybody. Did you ever stop to think\nhow you are actually Impressed, interested and molded by the circle In\nwhich you move? It is your associates who stir your emotions. They\napply (he torch. Friends blow the\ncoals, stir the embers of your\nthoughts. Companions start the pot\nto boiling, rake up the dormant ambitions and rip up our natures.\nIf it is a raw and dreary day the\nweather warps our disposition. It is\nthe train that is late that gets our\ngoat. We are all creatures of conditions that irritate or comfort us.\nOur advice to our friends is to associate always with better brains\nand bigger hearts. Cross the street\nwhen you see a grouch coming. Avoid\nthe pessimist as you would stay away\nfrom a house quarantined by a case\nof smallpox.\nPeople who upset you, who lash\nyou into a fury, stall your engine,\nruffle and fluster you, are dangerous\nassociates. People who waste your\ntime with idle chatter or lead you\naway from the path of duty are bandits holding: you up. Walking with\ntho wise, taking with the worthy encourage the right emotions and aid\nyour digestion.\nTramp with the.lame and you will\neventually sleep on a pool table.\nHad habits are easily learned, but\nvirtues must be grafted on.\nLook around and see If we are not\nall judged by the company we keep.\nTHRILLING FILM\nFEATURES WES BARRY\nFreckled Screen Star Plays Heroic Role in \"Heroes of the\nStreet.\"\nWesley Barry, the lad of the many\nfreckles and the smile that never\nwears off, is announced for an appear\nmice at the llo-Ilo theatre, Monday\nand Tuesday, where he will be seen\nin his latest picture. \"Heroes of the\nStreet.\"\nIn this Warner Brothers production Wesley Is seen as a plucky boy\nwhose bravery helps him do things at\nwhich his grown-up superiors fall.\nIle Is cast In a role that gives him\nunusual opportunities to reveal a\nside of him that was not called out ln\nhis other pictures, \"Penrod,\" \"School\nDays\" and \"Rags to Riches.\" In them\nhe was a mischief-loving, frolicking\nurchin always ready for a prank;\nhere he Is all this plus a new quality\nUnit will the more endear him V> his\nmany followers among the men, women and children of this city.\nHumor and pathos are Bald to be\npersuasively blended ln this picture,\nwhich wns written by Lem Parker\naad adapted for the Bcreen by Edmund Gouldlng.

Most of the B.

Elliott Claw-\neon prepared it for screening.\nPilscllla Dean has the most gripping role of her career In the new of-\nfertng. As a woman of the slaving\npeasantry, unable to read or write,\nand possessing one work dress, and\none good dross, will be seen in a\ncharacterization that is certainly unique.\nThe artistry of Miss Dean was\nnever better exemplified. She reaches emotional and dramatic heights;\nthat are remarkable even for this talented actress. Her performance\nholds one spellbound. Tho entire\nsupporting cast Is excellent and was\nchosen with grcnt care to insure perfect balance.\nA smashing thrill In lhe form of n\ngreat tunnels and shafts actually\nwere blown up for the picture, gives\na twist lo the climax, surprising and\ngripping.\nRobert Ellis, Wallace Beery, Beatrice Burnhnm, Kathryn McOulre,\nFred Kohler, Knmiett King. Nancy\nCaswell, Frankie Lee. Richard Daniels and others support Miss Dean.\nHobart Henley directed.\nMr. Beery is at ills best in this\npicture. Never has he given a more\nconvincing performance than he does\nIn the role of the brutal father who\nlacks even the faintest spark of human sympathy. Praise also must be\naccorded Robert Ellis for his Interpretation of nn extremely difficult\npart. Kathryn McClulrc will bo recalled by many as the former come-!\ndy and bnthlng beauty Btar. Her role\nIn this picture, however, is quite ser-\nious.\nHORSE COMES TO\nOWN AGAIN IN\nTHE HOTTENTOT\nHorses to the right of him; horses\nto the left of him! Horses thai bite\nat him; kick nt him; leap garden\nwalls and land him in the prickliest\nbed of shrubbery; crown him with\nhorse shoes and try to tramp on\nhim.\nPoor Sam! Only a man with a\nwooden face could keep from roaring\nat the trials ot the horsefeariug\nyachtsman In Thomas H. Incc's\nscreen version of \"The Hottentot,\"\nwho literally ls pitched headlong Into the fashionable hunting community which is the background for this\nspectacular comedy drama. At the\nsame time the story has been told so\ncleverly that the climax is a breathlessly dramatic sequence whicli\nheightens the effects of all the previous laughs. The picture is showing\nat the llo-Ilo theatre, Wednesday,\nand Thursday, May 23-24th. \t\nThe producer has done something\nnovel In this picture for combined\nwith the hilarious comedy which piles\nlaugh on lnugh there la an undercurrent of real sympathy for the\nchap who is the Innocent victim of\ncircumstances until finally he has to\nrisk Ills neck In a dangerous steeplechase or proclaim himself a coward\nto the girl he loves. When be makes\nhis spoctacular ride, carries every\nheart wilh him and the comedy becomes tense drama.\n\"The Hottentot\" Isn't written\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nit's built, line by line, scene by scene\nnnd laugh by laugh., the critics said\nwhen William Collier and Victor\nMapes produced their successful\nstage play. Ince has followed the\nsame process In the screen Btory with\nsmashing effect. The story Is one of\nthe simplest and most effective ever\ntold.\nThe Intense comedy of the picture\ngrows out of the fact that while Sam\nHarrington Is n crack yachtsman and\nhas braved the dangers of typhoons,\ncannibals and hurricanes without a\nquiver, he can't hear a horse snort\nwithout a quiver. Trouble ahead Is\nforecast from the moment he comes\nsnlllng Into the picture in a spick and\nspan yacht and finds an anciont\nhorse-rig waiting nt the landing to\ntaxi him to the country home he Ib\nto visit. Trying to escape from the\ninsistent driver, Sam edges too near\nthe dejected old horse which promptly comes to life long enought to nip\nhis shoulder.\nA strong note of love interest\nthroughout tho story makes possible\nUie effective transition from riotous\ncomedy to intense drama. Madge Bellamy who recently won such national applause in the title role of Maurice Toumeur's magnificent adaption\nof \"Lorna Doone\" plays the role of\nthe vivacious Peggy with a verve and\ncharm that supply a Btrong and reasonable motive for the overwhelming\ndifficulties through whicli Sam\nflounders his way to victory.\nCUMBERLAND BOYS\nNOW JUNIOR CHAMPIONS\n(Continued from page 1)\ntook the kick which was legal but\nalas lo the joy of a hundred Riverview hearts the ball sailed high over\nthe goal into the bleachers in the\nrear.\nRiverview carried the ball to the\nother end and in clearing from a\nscrluinge Boffy wns hurt.

After a\nlino rush down the field Boffy was\nforced to clear at close quarters and\nin doing so was pounced upon by two\nopposing forwards. Boffy was\ncharged hy referee Webb with holding the ball from play. A free kick\nIn the goal mouth was awarded. Excitement ran high.

Andy Robertson was almost\nIn the net but was brought down at\nthe critical moment. Donald Watson\ncrossed nicely and Jock Stevenson\nnearly scored.

He raised his hand at a\nhard drive of the ball a few yards in\nfront of him.

Marshall saved a sure goal\nat Ihe right side of the goal mouth\nblocking a daisy cutter.

The total membership of all\nclasses of trade unions in the Dominion at the close ot 1922 stood at\n276.621, comprised in 2,512 local\nbranches.

There was a\ngood crowd present and though the\nexhibition was not of the highest order there were a number of redeeming features that made the afternoon an enjoyable one. Several of\nthe Courtenay team were out of\ntown and this made a great difference\nto the playing of the farmers. Tom\nSmith tossed them over in the first\nthree innings for Courtenay but was\nrelieved In the fourth stanza by Lefty Larson. Neither of these pitchers\nseemed to exert himself and with only one player on the Courtenay lineup In his regular position the result\not the day's play could not have been\ndifferent. King on the mound twirled In big league style and had the\nCourtenay team at his mercy at all\ntimes. The five tallies that Cumber-\nlaud's opponent's chased ncross the\nplate came when King allowed the\nsecond string pitcher to relieve him\nIn the eight frame. This week the\nCourtenay team will be in better\nshape with all their players on hand\nand the team that beats them will\nhave to go some.\nCumberland-\nPlump lb.\nBannerman ss\nHitchens CF.\nMarocchi 3b\nMcKay LF\nJames 2nd\nRichards C\nDaugerlleld\nKing P.\nVann P.\nFarmer & Miller\nR\nH\nE\n2\n1\n1\n4\n2\n1\n2\n3\n0\n2\n2\n0\n1\n0\n0\n2\n0\n1\n1\n1\n0\n0\n1\n0\n0\nII\n0\n0.\n1\n0\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094\n14\n11\n3\nR\nH\nB\n1\n1\n5\n1\n2\n2\n1\n0\n0\n0\n0\n2\n0\nn\n1\n0\nl\n1\n1\n0\n0\n0\n0\n0\n1\n1\n1\nCourtenay\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nPettlgrew 3b\nDickson 2nd\nBrown C.\nLarson 1st P.\nOgilvle SF\nAitken ss\nWalker rf\nMcLean If\nSmith P. 1st\nS 5 12\nScore by innings:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nCumberland 20023 301 3\u00E2\u0080\u009414\nCourtenay 00000006 0\u00E2\u0080\u00945\n2 base lilt Richards.\nHits of King ln 7 Innings 1, runs 0\nHits of Venn 2 innings, 4, runs 5.\nHits of Smith 4 Innings 3, runs 4.\nHits of Larson 5 innings 8, runs 10\nStruck out by King 7 Vann 1\nStruck out by Larson 8, Smith 2.\nBases on ball King (1) Vann ID.\nTime of game 1.40.

Some Instructors\nadvise turning them one way, others\nIn a different way. Or the advice\nmay be given ln reference to tho I\nclub face, to turn It away from the\nball, which Is practically the same\nthing. This has always appeared to\nme as artificial and unnatural. None\nof the caddies are ever conscious\nof doing this, and, what Is more,\nui^ne of the real stars do It. By rolling the wrists nt the start, I have\nnn hesitation In stating thnt all\nchances of a correct swing are gone\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094unless the player is somewhat of a\nJuggler. As a general working rule\nthe player will be well advised to :\nscrutinize carefully any piece of advice that recommends anything which\ndoes not come naturally. He must,\nof course, distinguish between what\nIs novel or new and what ts natural.\nAny new movement will feel awkward at Ilrst. but this should pass\nwith practice.\nIf the player has been instructed ln\nthe mechanical principles of the\ngame (which are not many nor hard\nto understand), he will learn to distinguish the essential points In a\nswing from the accidentals and the\nmannerisms of the player. It must\nbe remembered that no two human\nbeings are constructed exactly alike;\nand therefore no two will swing a\ngolf club In tho same way, bo It will\nbe wiBe before a beginner adopts another player as his paragon, to first\nascertain if there is the greatest\nagreement in tlielr physical builds.\nlt is useless for a short stout man to\nattempt to swing (he club exactly as\na thin elongated one. Therefore, If\nthe fundamental principles of the\ngame are appreciated, the blind mimicry of unimportant details will be\navoided. The fact that Ray smokes\na pipe while playing Is no reason\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0why anyone else should, and If you\n.'h did so much for the\ncolonization of the country.\nThere are thirteen new paper\nmaking machines being installed in\nCanadian paper mills this year.\nWhen erected and running full these\nmachines will consume more than\n350,000 additional cords of wood a\nyear. Canada is already annually\nconsuming and exporting more than\n5,000,000 cords of pulpwood, representing the growth of a century or\nmore on 1,250,000 acres of land.\nA new service for motor tourists\ndesiring to pass between the mainland and Vancouver Island has been\ninaugurated between Bellingham ami\nVictoria. The Motor Princess, with\na capacity for fifty automobiles and\n250 passengers, plies twice daily between the ports. This boat is motor\ndriven and the first of its kind to\nbe operated on the Pacific side of\nthe continent.\nIn 1922 Canada produced 2,118\ntons of salt cake, valued at $54,804,\nand 1,320 tons of Glauber salts\nvalued at $42,7111, according to government figures. There are a number of immense deposits of Glauber\nsalts in the province of Saskatchewan, which are ut the present time\nonly in the initial stages of development, but it is anticipated that the\nnext few years will see a considerable increase ill production.\nThe Canadian exhibit at the British Empire Exhibition, to be held in\nLondon from April 20th to October\n31st, 11124, is to be financed, eon-\ntrolled and directed by the Federal\nGovernment. The estimated cost is\n$1,000,000. The two Canadian railroads are planning exhibits on adjoining sites, each with a floor space\nof 10,000 feet. The cost nf the Cann-\ndi n Pacific exhibit is estimated at\n$800,00(1.\nThe Canadian Pacific steamship\n\"Empress of Russia,\" upon her last\nsailing, carried a shipment of Canadian frogs for Japan. Cool space\nwas reserved in the hold of the liner\nand the travellers were well packed\nin ice. On being taken ashore at\nYokohama these frogs will be gradually warmed until they are ready to\nbe let loose, when they will be liberated on the lawns of Japanese\nimporters, with thc idea of giving\nthe Japanese a new industry in the\nproduction of frogs legs.\nThe Canadian Pacific Telegraphs\nhave announced the following reduced rates per word for cable mes-\naages to the following countries\neffective to-day:\u00E2\u0080\u0094Austria, 30 cents,\nBelgium 23 cents. France 22 rents,\nGermany 25 cents, Great Britain and\nIreland 20 cents, Greece .15 cents,\nHungary 33 cents, Italy 20 cents,\nSpain 83 cents, Switzerland 27 rents.\nThe 25 cent per word rate to Great\nBritain and Ireland is still in effect\nfor special rush cables. Corresponding reductions have teen made in\nthe rates to other countries in Europe\nand beyond via Atlantic cables, und\nthe new deferred rates will be one-\nhalf of the full rates quoted above\nexcept to Great Britain and Ireland,\nwhere the existing deferred rate ol\n9 cents per word it unaltered.\nGeorge C. Hay, British Columbia,\ndirector of the Canadian Co-operative\nWool Growers' association, is well\npleased with the outlook for this year.\nHe recently visited the wool-producing districts of Vancouver Island, also\nthe lower mainland, and reports that\neverywhere tho sheep men arc entering the association, and practically\n100 per cent, membership is now anticipated. The organization has bad\ntwo outstanding objects: Tn got more\nmoney for Canadian wool growers\nand to raise the standard of Canadian wool. Both of these objects hnvt\nbeen attained, for thc members received for their 1922 clip 8 cents per\npound more than the average paid by\nIndependent buyers, and Canadian\nwool now competes favorably with\nthat of Australia, Now Zealand anil\nArgentina; ln fact, with thut of the\nworld. This Is due entirely to the\ngrading Instituted by the central selling agency. The association has also established a friendly relationship\nwith the millers of Canada and lhe\nUnited States, who arc Interested and\npleased with the market improvement\nIn Canadian wool.\nWhy You Should\nUse a Mild Soap\nHarsh soap dries the natural oils and is\napt to irritate the skin and make it scaly.\nIn the mild, soothing, creamy lather of\nPalmolive you have an ideal cleanser, lt is\nlotion-like in its action.

The\nred men are being brought to Victoria from all parts of the coast of\nBritish Columbia to stage a night attack on two big settlers' forts which\nnre being built for the purpose as\nfeatures of the Maytlme Frolic to be\nheld in the British Columbia Capital\nMay 24, 25 aud 26.\nThe Indians are to be carefully\nschooled iu this attack bo that it may\nhe carried out with careful attention to historical detail. They will\nwear the costumes ot their ancestors and travel iu the dug out canoes\nthat their tribes have been using for\nhundreds of years. The actual assault upon the two forts will be left\nto them so that they may carry It\nout ln true Indian style.\nOne of the forts is being built now\non a big raft in on arm of the sea\nwhich cuts through one of Victoria's\nparks. At this point the outgoing\ntide creates a swift current and\nfoaming rapids. The Indians will\nslip down the rapids in their war canoes after dark, painted and armed.\nThe fort, which will be carefully\nmodeled ou the plan ot the early\ntrading posts, will be attacked In\nforce as the red men swarm up its\nwalls. The white Inhabitants, over,\ncome by tbe attackers, will take to\ntheir boats and make their way to a\nsecond fort to be erected on the\nshore. Here they will make their\nlast stand as their first fort Is\nburned to the water's edge.\nWhat will be thc outcome of the\nfight has not been divulged but It is\nsaid that Canadian sailors will take\na hand In It. The fray will be\nstaged at a point where it will be\nvisible to thousands lining thc batiks\nand huge naval searchlights will\nplay upon the Indians and whites as\nthey grapple iu tbe water. American motorists who are expected to\nattend tbe Maytlme Frolic in considerable numbers will have a particularly good view of the fight as lt\nwill occur In the water opposite the\nnew motor camp opened by Victoria\nfor visitor.\nThe provincial authorities are\nplanning to have the government\nlands at Point Grey laid out on a\ntown planning scheme so that the\ndistrict may develop Into a model re.\nstdental section.
