Footballers Returned Last Saturday The Cumberland United Football Team, with the exception of Milligan, Turner, Oraham, Mortimer and Deluce, returned on Saturday last from Winnipeg where Ihey were unsuccessful contenders lor honors In the Con- naught Cup scinl-flnals played tbeie last week, going down lo defeat at the hands of United Weston, whicli team ultimately won the much-coveted silverware. The hoys are offering no alibis for their defeat except thnt they failed to take advantage of their frequent openings, but. especially are they pleased with their showing III Calgary on Ihelr return trip, when they defeated Ihe Dick of thc oily by 6 goals to 0. In the latter game the Cumberland tenm gave one of thc greatest exhibition of football seen III Calgary since the Scottish All-Stars visile I that city some years ago, and one paper went so far as to compare the local boys in n favorable light with the Scotch stars. Conti, playing full-back, was ever III the lime-light. He played a wonderful game. Hitchens at outside left played the game of his career and together with Plump, Inside left, and Brake, left-half, made a fool of all who went against them. Mortimer, at centre-half, also played a great game. Each forward got a goal apiece with the exception of Graham—he got two. Mortimer and Deluce did not come home with the team but will stay for a few days holiday while It Is doubtful If Graham, Turner and Milligan will return at nil. Private study Gerald R.

Kiwanis Club Makes Appeal For Children Vancouver, B.C., March 31, 1021 To The Islander, Cumberland, B.C. Dear Sir;-— I am sending you herewith a folder whicli was prepared by the "Kiwanis Big Brothers" of Vancouver, B.C. We believe you will be Interested In it, and trust that yon will help us get in touch with families 111 your district where some of these underprivileged children can be placed, and thus enjoy the advantages of n good home. It is our desire to get before the people of our province the idea of child placement in families, rather than Institutional care for orphans and neglected children. Our Child Welfare institutions are now full to capacity; and yet we believe a sulll- clent number of homes In B.C. can be found to care for all dependent children If a worthy appeal Is made to the people. Other provinces and states have adopted the policy of using the Institutions chiefly as temporary shelters while the history of the child Is being studied, and If found lo be normal, physically and .mentally, the child is placed In some home Which has been carefully selected and which is open lo inspection. Tills is the policy wc heartily recommend for B.C. and Iu the working out of which we seek your eo-opornllon. Wo wlll appreciate your bringing this work to Ihe attention of the people of your district nnd asli that you send us lhc names of prospective homes. Thanking you, I am. Sincerely yours, NELSON A.

Good luck, gang! Ilmv About ll, Fails] Nanaimo protested the game played here wilh Cumberland July 6 and won by the latter 9 f,. The league turned the protest down at Its lost league meeting and Nanaimo carried il Im the British Columbia Amateur Base- hall Association, which met lu Van- couver last Saturday. The II C.A.B.A. ordered a replay, which President Courlenay of the league, ordered replayed not here, hut in Nanaimo, The locul team refuses to pluy there however. The protest was won on the way iu which Marocchi was scored In lhe Nanaimo score hook, the scorer, their Thos. Allan, having .Marocchi as having fanned and going to lirst when the catcher missed the third strike, with first and second buses occupied. They claimed Umpire Bono failed to cull him out and Marocchi later In the inning scored. Nanaimo claims if the latter was called out then the score lu the game would have ended 3-5. Marocchi was scored hy the Cumherland scorer as having batted the hall, the scorer here took an oath to this effect, Umpire Bono and Marocchi also swore an affidavit to till effect. Fans here may remember Marocchi loaded the bases on this hatted ball. The R.C.A.B.A, disregarded these statements and ordered a replay. Ernie Papke, manager ot the Young Liberals of Vancouver and Alex Denholme, Cumberland delegate, were tbe only votes recorded against the protest. No Replay Game Jul) 11) Cumberland was scheduled to pluy a game in Nanaimo Saturday, July 10 at 5.30 p.m. aud again in Cumberland Sunday, July 21! at 1.30 p.m. The former game, on the day of the Canadian Collieries' Picnic, was forfeited and the league In the tipper Isl I sustained Nanaimo's claim.

Cronk, a member of the Alberni Tennis Club, was a visitor lo Cumberland on Tuesday and while here made arrangements wilh the secretary of the local club for a series of mulches between lhe Iwo clubs, Mr. Cronk slated that tennis is experiencing o slight set-back in Alberni owing to a lack of eiiihusia on tlle part of Ilic members and In' thought thai these Inter-olub matches would awaken Interest lu both cities. Thi' Cumberland Club win undoubt- [ sdly ad on Mr, Crunk's plans ami will in nil probability travel to the wost- coasl city for Hi,, flrsl match, the [date for which has noi yel been set, Of course, no deilnlie arrangements have ns yd been made but lhc writer Is of ihe opinion thai the executive of the local dub wlll he dealing unfairly with the members If they do not accept ihe plan. At present Cumberland hns quite a lol of coming slars on the courts anil il is jusi this son of competition 'hai wlll develop their gome and give them a good understanding of real lenliis. Al preseni Cumberland Is experiencing the same conditions as Alberni. The local club has quite n large membership hut very few lake enough Interest In li to play, except o,| rare occasions. Why not, the i, awaken an Interest? Surely these Inter-olub innichcs will help enormously. And Ihey need inn only |„, with Alberni; Courlenay has a club. Hoysion lias, and yes. there is no reason why even Nanaimo and Ladysmlth matches cannot bo arranged nlso. PAGE TWO THE CUMBERLAND ISLANDER SATURDAY, AUGUST 2, 19.4 CUMBERLAND ISLANDER Published every Saturday moruing at Cumberland, 13. C. EDWARD W, BICKLE __fe SATURDAY, AUGUST 2, 1924 VALUE OF SUNSHINE Wealth cannot buy It. Inventive genius cannot create it. And all that the well favored and exclusive ot the earth have, cannot replace It—aud ilia! is just Coil's pure sunshine! This is what sunshine does: it makes wealth possihle li gives to labor its life and hope, Without il there would be »" food al all no light, no power, nor even lite ItBOlt. All of ihe raw materials in existence are possible only because of lhe sunshine. The deadly germs that destroy life keep oul of the way ol sunshine, for Ihey (-annul live under its life-giving tune. Tho steds planted In the ground, and the flowers that have leaped to life from' the ground, open nnd sing forth their silent melodies and give forth their pure and spreading perfume because of the sunshine thai lias lifted 'hem oul ot the dirt ot the earth. When it is dark aud gloomy, even the birds seek their nests but when tho sun is high, and bright they travel far. that ihey may scatter their happiness to the four winds of the compass. chrisi was crucified In n storm, at dead of night. I do nol belive that even those hard hearts could have raised thai righteous man and nailed him lo the cross under the golden rays of liis sunshine Thc sun purines and recreates life. I recently heard the Btory of a blind man who went to sleep wilh the sun shining in his eyes- and when he awoke, behold, he saw! The sunshine has a wonderful rebuilding, stimulating and health-giving influence over the body. It penetrates Into the sleepy, tired nerves, wakes them up, renews them, and gives hopes and courage to the entire body. GIRLHOOD How often does the woman who has lull her teens behind her long for those days when Ihere was a crisp- ness and n novelty In the everyday affairs of life that seem now so prosaic, so huiulrimi, and so different Hum the glad days of her pasl? Men may rave over the maturer charm of n woman of thirty, and sing about the full blown rose but the woman herself would gladly do away with the praise which, lo her ears, always Bounds a bit apologetic, and go back in those days, when, by right of her own abundant, glowing, happy youth, she reigned a queen in her own little realm. Lite looks su entirely different through the eyes ot girlhood. There is no serious side to it. It is all hope .unshadowed by doubt or painful experience. The sunshine of earth is brighter, the clouds fewer and smaller, and the heart beats faster in those lovely first days ot actual living, before the woman is bo m and the girl learns that life is not all gladness. If the great sisterhood could but learn by the experience of others they would nol so eagerly rush to meet those days when the heart expands, and they learn the sorrow as well as the joy of living and loving, They would linger yet a while in that sweet vale ot girlhood where, with eyes undimmed by tears and ua- ..hndowed by thc sorrows of tired maternal existence, they could stray among the flowers and breathe iu the sweetness of thnt absolutely brightest i and best period which once left behind will seem like days of heaven to the perturbed and bothered spirit of womanhood, that wanders through other, perhaps higher and fuller spheres, but which liuds the thorns thai girlhood knew not of.

Vast Development by Land and Sea Due to the Initiative of Lumbermen. There are three great spending forces ln the British Columbia forest Industries with its purchasing power of $100,000,000 per annum. 1. The Tliuberholders—the pioneer Investor In the raw material. .. The Logger—the harvester of the timber crop. 3. The Manufacturer—the builder up of markets. Upon the unimpeded functioning ot these branches depends the fair progress of British Columbia's vital industry. A set-hack to one spells disaster to all three. The tlmberholders of the province, faced with lire nnd storm risks against which there is no insurance, have contributed over 145,000,000 to the provincial treasury during the laBt fifteen years. A world's record ln similar taxation. The loggers spend annually very large sums ou new and costly equipment to keep pace with modern science and overcome the ever varying obstacles that nature puts ln their paths. Eight hundred miles of private railroads, now in actual oper- tlon, Is one memorial of this energy. The manufacturers of lumber, shingles, pulp and paper boxes and other forest products nre also forced to expend millions every year on new machinery to maintain the efficiency of their plants. In that way alone can tbey meet the keen world competition and justify their product. The British Columbia lumber manufacturers, by dint ot strenuous market extension work, have Increased their export shipments twelvefold In ten years. Their efforts have indisputably been the main factor in building up the sea portB of British Columbia.

John Hart, minister of finance This brings the year's sale up to $8,000,000 and the minister is receiving congratulations upon the splendid price received. Even with $6,- 000,000 already placed through the Dominion Securities Corporation, of Toronto, the market was eager for more B.C. Bonds, and the best price received by any Canadian province has been secured for the provincial securities offered. Hon. Mr. Hart leaves office with a splendid record behind him. Instead of shattered credit as an undesirable monument, the finance minister retires to private business life with the knowledge that his administration of a difficult department has Btamped him as the outstanding finance minister of the Pacific Province. Still Fighting Freight Rates VICTORIA, Aug. 1.—Now that the government Is assured of a worklun majority in the Legislature, announcements of policies lo be adopted are expected at an early date. Perhaps the chief work to be undertaken Is Ihe lighting of the freight rates issue to a llnish. Premier Oliver has received the endorsation of his cabinet in this regard and Ihe battle for the complete removal of all discrimination is already on. The Premier is out for the removal of discriminatory rates under the Crow's Nest Pass agreement on eastbound freight, a reduction of rates on westbound grain and lower express rates.

Fields of ice, stretching as far as the eye can see, provide the source of many streams which later become large enough to bear the burdens of commerce from the interior to the ocean outlets to the world. Mount Robson, which is seen from the trains of the Canadian National Railway, is 13,068 feet high, and the highest peak of the Canadian Rockies. This year the Alpine Club of Canada, numbering among its members the most eminent authorities on mountain lore, will hold its annual camp at the foot of this monarch of the Rockies, and numerous peaks surrounding the district will be climbed by the hardy lovers of outdoor life. Canadian National trains stop at the foot of Mount Robson in order that travellers muy see this massive peak, towering until it seems to pierce the very sky-line, and scarcely a tourist passes through who does not attempt to get one or more photographic memoirs of his or her trip. Photograph No. 1 shows Mount Robson as it appears from the Canadian National Railways train; No. 2. the massive ice seracs which lie behind Mount Robson; No. 3, one of the mighty glaciers which feeds the ever-growing mountain streams. \ M SECURITY AND SAFETY Secure—Because the business is carefully and economically managed.

VICTORY LOAN IS CENTRE OF GOOD DEAL OF INTEREST A good deal uf interest is being displayed h., Canadians in the issue of Victory Loan Bonds which matures next fall. To meet these bonds, th<? Government, of course, will float a new bond Issue, just as was done last fall to meet the Victory Loan Bonds which matured on December 1st, 1923. The principal point around whicli interest centres is whether the new Issue of bonds wfll he offered to Canadian investors or whether the Government will sell the bonds in l'nited State.;. Investment brokers in the hitter country were eager to purchase the Refunding Loan Bonds last fall, and it is reported that they are equally eager to purchase the new issue which will be mnde some time during the present year. The general impression is well-informed circles seems to be that, the new Loan should be offered to Canadian investors. There will be $107.- 000,001) paid off this year to those who hold Ihe maturing bonds, and unless the Government offers nn immedhilc channel for sound reinvestment, it is highly probable that a good deal of tiiis money will reach the hands of unscrupulous promoters of one sort and another and that we in Canada will experience an unprecedented era (*f speculation. Furthermore, unless money is quickly reinvested there is a natural tendency to spend It needlessly. A second factor in the situation is the desirable element of national Independence insofar as financial requirements are concerned. For many years, Canada relied largely upon capital from other countries, principally Great Britain and United States, for the financing of her Government'*, Municipalities and Corporations. The War Loan and Victory Loan campaigns, however, taught us that we were well able to do the bulk of this financing ourselves, and it should be a source of national pride to know that Canada is no longer dependent upon a foreigner's purse for her financial needs. As to the ability of Canadian investors and private investors to provide money to buy the new bonds which will probably be issued soon, it might be pointed out that Savings Deposits in the Chartered Banks have increased by about $33,000,000 since last September. This increase has taken place In spite of the fact that a Dominion Lonn of $200,000,000 was sold in Canada last fall. Loans to United States by Canadian banks are also increasing each month and this seems to indicate that there are plenty of funds .available for our own domestic requirements. lu this connection, it is also interesting to know that our balance of trade is heavily in favor of Canada. In other words, we export more goods than we import. In this way. we bring largo sums of new money into Canada, for which of course we sell agricultural, mineral and manufactured products. It would be unfortunate if the protit from the sale oi these goods had to be sent to anot'ier country in the form of interest upon Dominion Government bonds. If last years' Dominion Government Refunding Loan had been offered iu United States, we would now be paying $10,000,000 each year iu Interest to United States investors, instead of paying it to investors in Canada. lu addition, we would have to pay the exchange premium upon American funds. Regarding this question of keeping money at home, by borrowing from our own investors and buying Canadian made goods, the following statement once made by Abraham Lincoln is very interesting: "J don't know much about tariffs but I do know this. When we Import goods, we get the goods and the foreigner gets the money to distribute in employment among his people as well as a profit for himself. If we make those goods here, we get the goods, we get onr people employed and all the money and the profit stays in this country." An apt paraphrase of this might be —"I don't know much about international finance, but 1 do know this—if Canada borrows abroad, the interest goes each year to foreigners aud eventually the pricinpal iias to be paid back to them, but when we borrow from our own people all the interest stays here to be spent among our own people to maintain employments, and to contribute towards the prosperity of the nation as a whole."
