CUMBERLAND, BRITISH COLUMBIA SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1924. ftra_> SUP JR1PTION PRICE: TWO DOLLARS PER ANNUM United Easily Defeat Rangers; Ragging By Some Spectators Spoils Local Derby Game PREMIER OF CANADA WILL |Chamber Df Commerce SPEAK HERE ON WEDNESDAY! The much-lalked-of "Local Derby" has come and gone. With it has none any doubts that the Rangers are serious opponents of the Cumherland United, but with it has conic the fact that we have as line a bunch of comin. football stars tbat may he seen In any Canadian city today. And they are practically all "home-brews" No more will lt be necessary to keep a watchful eye always on the lookout for new players, for Sunday's game showed us conclusively that we havo Just aa Rood at home if they are given expert couching and half a chance to show their wares. The "Derby," as last week's Upper Island league game was popularly called by the local fans, was In tho nature of a show-down between youth and experience and, as Is usually the case, the latter won. Far he it from us to Infer that the United is an old team, hut It has the experience, whereas the Rangers have to rely on their youth and speed to get by nnd although they put up a val.ant front it was useless aaginst their more staid opponents, the final score of 4 to 0 In favor of the United telling the whole tale better than any scribe would be able to do. Walker ls Still' Young Jimmy Walker. In goal for thc Rangers, was the slur of the fracas. He stopped them at all angles nnd believe you me, Ile had some stopping to do. Any gonlle that gets behind one of Hltchen's drives and lives to tell the tale ls pretty darn good, but he did It; and to top the whole thing he stopped a penalty kicked by Stewart but was unable to hold it, the latter scoring from the re-bound, Sharp at 3 o'clock Oraham kicked oft for the United with the town goal at their backs and the sun in their faces und five minutes luter the same player had put his team one up with a beautiful shot that gave Walker not the vestige of a chance. For the next twenty minutes practically the whole senior team was in the Ranger's 18 yard line but were unable to score. They had numerous chances to do so but it always seemed that someone intervened at the crlticol moment or olse tlle player with the ball was sandwiched by two opposing players. Referee Jones was Homewhat Inclined to be too lenient on this lattor point as it happened time and again lo Oraham especially. However, on one occasion he did manage to squeeze through and goal number two was chalked down to his credit. At this stage of the game, Carney, playing left back for the Rangers, was knock ed cold and was unable to return to tbe game for some time. Just after he did come back on, his partner, Mitchell, was the victim of rough play being carried to the sldo-llnes where he remained in charge of the trainer fnr the remainder of the half. Second Ilult' Tho Rangers opened up thc play with a determined rush but It waa of short duration. Conti, Brake and Monohan handled everything as it came and could have easily dispensed with the services ot Stewart and Mortimer at full back, while Blair, In goal, was merely an Interested spectator. Throughout the whole game ho only handled the ball twice and once was when Stewart found himself In a little difficulty and passed it back. Graham scored his third goal early In this period. It was a fast one, from an angle, which no goalie would have been able to save al- (Contlnued on Page Seven) UNDEFEATED TEAMS MEET ON SUNDAY What ls considered locally aa the game of the season will take place on the Recreation Grounds, Cumberland on Sunday when the Cumberland United team meet the Nanaimo City eleven In an Upper Island League fixture. Up to date neither team haa been defeated in this year's competition, and as both leums are very evenly matched a keen game Is anticipated.

After a long preliminary program had been fought out, Roy Cliffe, Courtenay's Champion Light Heavyweight boxer, knocked out Cecil Bradshaw of Duncan, after three rounds of hard fighting.

Cliffe has been matched to fight Dave Stewart, a heavyweight from Vancouver, ln Courtenay on Wednesday, October 22nd.

Its long, shorn blade we pass without notice or thought, yet there Is no tool or instrument ...ore eloquent or suggestive thai, the scythe. It speaks to us ot decay, decay or manly vigor anil womanly l.eauty, the termination ot all sel.en.es ot pleasue. ol business. or ambition. All are Interrupted by the scythe's relentless sweep. Its motions are as perpetual as the revolving hours; its presence is as universal as life itself; yet its lessons ore not all sad. nor do Ihey always announce a final decay, Over the undulating hills ami through the brood valleys, the scythe takes Its untiring way. anil tlle grass anil the dowers (all before Its ratal strokes. hut Its victories are monetary. in another spring green grows the grass again on the smiling hills, and the llllies again embellish the valleys and thus is repeated the great story of life in death, the perpetual renewal of nature. The doctrine of the Immortality of the soul is even written on the blade of the scythe that hongs unnoticed on the garden fence. HOLD ON TO YOUR JOB ments or conveniences about the home is grudgingly given. We dare say if some wives in thiH community spent as much for sweetmeats and bonbons as their husbands do for cigars or cigarettes each year, there would go up 0 howl you could hear for miles from the husbands of Buch extravagant wives. And If the wives and daughters of this community spent as much for chewing gum as the husbands and brothers spend for chewing tobacco every week, a lot of men would throw a fit because their womenfolk spent so much money foolishly. Now, we believe when a man asks a woman to become his wife and the relationship Is consummated ill marriage, that tbe wife should have an equal share in the finances of tlmt home, Many wives slave and work for a lifetime for Ihelr board and clothes. Where you find on occasional frivolous and extravagant wire, you will find very many tliat arc careful and economical. They may ask ror ii dime once In a while tor some personal luxury .but you can bet they wont blow It up In smoke or spit It oul in tobacco juice. LAND ACT NOTK'K OK INTENTION TO APPLY TO LKASK LAND With winter coming on it is a good thing to have a steady job. It is mighty satisfying to know that the little old pay envelope will be ready for you when Saturday conies arounu. Picture yourself out of a Job today. Walk up and down tbe streets with the jobless army looking for a good position, and then you will appreciate what we mean. If you have a job today, you're a lucky boy. Hundreds who hold jobs today do not realize tho value of what they hold. When your salary suddenly drops from a hundred a month to nothing âwhen the decimal point takes its place from right to left and there is nothing leftâwhen you dodge around corners to avoid meeting the grocer and butcherâWhen you try to look back on the mad .glad days of plenty, the value of a steady position strikes you and strikes you hard. When thi memory of steaw dinners with a mus icnl accompaniment return and you slink into au arm chair restaurant for your ham sandwich anil a cup of coffee, it is then that your mistakes face you and bring that gone feeling to the pit of your â¢ stomach. But most of us have to go through this season before we can thoroughly appreciate a steady job. Pew men can get the lesson until they get the boot, and our suggestion Is this; Work for all you are worth. Study, serve, and try to climb up. There is a won- derrui right now for evevy man and woman that wants to advance.

Keep Smiling The Ladysmlth Smelter has been purchased hy the company organized in Vancouver to operate a smelter on the southern coast. This smelter was originally built to handle the ore nt' the Tyee mine, on Vancouver Island, one of the mobt successful copper mining enterprises on the Coast in its day. On the exhaustion of the ure deposit, the smelter was operated to handle custom ores, and received ihipmenta from Alaska to South America. The modernizing of the Tacoma Smelter, and the better rat'?s which it offered the mining companies diverted the business to that plain. w,ith the result that the smelter was closed down in 11*12, and the Tyeo Copper Co. Limited, went out of business, the large cash reserves at its disposal having been exhausted and lost in the undertaking. Then an American company tooK hold of it. spent large sums of money in Ihe attempt to develop mines in Alaska and British Columbia to supply it with ore, but wound up with heavy losses, as it failed to obtain enough ore to do more than operate the smelter for a few weeks. The plant is now out of date, and would bave to be entirely reconstructed to meet existing conditions; and then only if new mines could he developed to a point where they would assure the smelter of sufficient supplies of ore for a continuous and profitable operation.â Vancouver Province, Oct. 3rd. 1 t_j__lii_fi!!jr_i^^ t KVKKY MAS TO HIS OWN JOB A certain sea captain and his chief engineer, tired of endlessly debating whicli the ship could more easily ___â¢_- | pense with, decided to swap places for a day.

THE CUMBERLAND ISLANDER /* PAGE SEVEN United Easily Defeat Rangers (Continued From Page One) though Walker made a valiant sltoV for it. The Hangers switched their team around a little. Gough going to Theed Pearse BARRISTER & SOLICITOR NOTARY PUBLIC Union Bay Road, Courtenay hack, Mitchell to left wing. W. Walker to half back and Strachan to center half. For a tew minutes It seemed as though the change had been 'in improvement but the United forwards had merely slowed up a bit to look over the situation. Loud cheers from the crowd when Marshall relieved Bannerman of the ball seemed lo peeve the latter and he deliberately tripped his opponent from behind. From then on everyone seemed to be trying to get everyone else, Conti being the greatest offender, one of his attacks on Mitchell being really dirty. At any other time Referee Jones would have sent him to the side-lines but he passed It up on this occasion with a mere caution.

Stewart took the kick and scored from the re-bound as stated above. Final score: 4 goals to 0 in favor of the United. I.urge Crowd Attends One of the largest crowds seen on the Recreation Ground for some time was present, many of them taking advantage of tlle new grand stand, whicli was not quite completed, to shelter them from the strong sun. The sympathies of the majority were with the younger leam. but this was to be expected as everyone knew before hand which team would he thc inevitable winner. Referee A. S. Jones tooted the v. histle quite satisfactorily although he let quite a lot of sly fouls get by hlm. There is not tiie slightest doubt that a lot of the rough stuff Introduced Into the play was the remit of the attitude of certain of the spectators, wlio were undoubtedly out to try and see just how much "fun" they could get oul of the game. The brnnd of football served up suffered lu consequence. It is extremely poor sportsmanship on the part of any spectator to go on a sports Hold and try to induce a bunch of young players to pull oil any rough stuff. The game suf fers; some one is likely to get seri- ouslyjiurt and the poor long suffering real sport goes home utterly disgusted. It is to be hoped that on the return game, these spectators who fool like ragging any player or players, will control their feelings and let the game be played for the game's sake.

While this particular week is FIRE PREVENTION WEEK for everyone, EVERY WEEK is FIRE PREVENTION WEEK for us when it comes to making Electrical Installations that are as nearly FIRE PROOF as it is possible to make them. An analysis uf electrical tiros shows that most of them do mil iirlitliiutc in standard installations but In such as are defective, usually the result of improper Installations, deterioration aud neglect, or from misuse, as iu the case of electric pressing irons, improper fusing, etc. In fact, a nine year summary of tho result of detailed Investigations of llres in New York by the lilectrical Department of the New York Board of Fire Undewrlt- ers shows that out of a loss of $1,014,388, the cause of which was definitely established as electrical, only 21 per cent was caused by lire In equipments which, according to the records, were ln compliance with the requirements of the National Electrical Code. Some part of this small percentage must also be charged to the misuse of such standard equipments and to possible deterioration. The balance, amounting to 79 per cent of the losses due to electricity, occurred in equipments known to have been defective. Properly installed Electric wiring is one of the safest things in your home or store.
