Prosecutions Will Follow Depredations Wc visited the Recreation Grounds on Saturday afternoon last, and to uay the least, were astounded at the wanton destruction (hat had taken place since our last visit to Cumberland's sport grounds. These grounds during the past five years have undergone a great deal oi' improvement at considerable expense The local Colliery Company havo had tiie interests of tlie sport loving public at heart, hence the well appointed grounds hack of the schools. It is however heart -breaking to the oiti- cials to see such wanton destruction, week alter week. Fences deliberately pulled down; doors taken off and left lying around, whilst last week, the huge- roller which is kept on the ground was deliberately pushed through the fence. The band hall, opposite the grounds has nlso come In for some attention from these vandals, who seemingly take a delight in destroying that which has been given for the use of the public. Judging from the amount of the damage done it is quite evident that it is not the "work" of school hoys. On another page of this paper an advertisement appears, warning all and sundry that immediate action will be taken against any person or persons, destroying, removing or defacing any of the property hi and around the Recreation Grounds and Hand Hall. We are heartily in accord with this action- we think it should have been taken long ago; but the management of the Colliery Company, with their usual generosity, have lokked over these depredations and have refrain Tennis Club To Hold Tournament Arrangements have been com-: | pleted by thc executive of the Cumberland Tennis Club for j the first club tournament, ladies j and men's singles. The first round has already been drawn up and is to be played before June 30th. All contestants are asked to play tholr games before this date. Miss D. Hutchinson Becomes Bride Of Mr. R.

Cumberland Old Men No Match For Nanaimo Youth will not be denied, and owing to the fuel that the aggregate age of the Nanaimo football team was, by several years, younger than Hie players from Cumberland, the former yesterday, in the "Over Forty" contest, proved once more the superiors of Cumberland, and defeated them hy one goal to nil. Jimmy Watson. playing centre for Nanaimo, scored the only goal of the day. and he beal two of the opposing defenders in making the same. Thc game undoubtedly was an instructive piece of work to the younger school, if Ihey were wb;c enough lo take notice, and such games would he Instrumental in instilling ■ into tiie younger fry thc Oner points of the grand game of soccer, The game was played before a fair ' crowd, Imi It was soon to be seen that tiie Cumberland (earn hardly look ed like a winning team, as ihe Na- uaiiuo Oldsters were soon on the ag Ktesslve and remained so, the mosl , of the Ilrst half, hut in Hie second moiety the Cumberland aggregation started off with a new lease of life , and gave tbe locals a lively time for a few minutes only, and the better- | trained Nanaimo team showed their superiority in the last half hour. The Cumberland team deserve credit for the determined game they put up,1>ut they will have to take a treatment of monkey glands before they can hope to defeat Jimmy and his bunch. Nanaimo Herald. !

PAGE TWO THE CUMBERLAND ISLANDER SATURDAY, JUNE 21,1934. CUMBERLAND ISLANDER Published every Saturday morning at Cumberland, B. C. EDWARD W. BICKLE SATURDAY, JUNE 21, 1824. THE WORLD NEVER LAUGHS AT THIS "Born tn Mr. and Mrs. So-aud-So, a son." Daily we read these paragraphs. Among the death notices wc sec: "Died, the infant daughter oi .Mr. and Mrs. Blank." But, oh, we do not know the shade that little grave in a home has made They come and they go, these bits of humanity, tossed on the sen of life. To many who have never known lhe anxiety and th" joy of possessing a child of their own, these Hems cii news mean nothing. To the young father nnd mother who lean at nightfall over a crib lh.it holds the little being God sent them, such items mean a lug at the .heartstrings. It is the Utile garments that hnve love sewn In every stitch, the little white sleeves creased in Imagination to the dimpled baby arms. the diminitlve socks line as wool can weave for soft baby feet, the perfumed robes and slips down in that brc- red bottom drawer in lhe dresses that mean so much to the young mother. These are the things over which she says her prayers, touches with caressing lingers and locks away with awed wondering at what Is to be, when. out of anguish and peril, a little child shall lie In her arms a little child for whose sake she goes down into the Valley of the Shadow, knowing nol whether she shall retrace her steps back lo the living. It comes every day. this mystery of birth, and to natures fines It never loses its sacredness. What is this mystery of birth, and tho love thai makes tender fleshed womanhood take as a crown, the suffering thut a wedding ring brings? The world never laughs at this. Tlle roughest look gently on the woman ou whom maternity has set its promise. Men and women answer, with quick sympathy, Ihe eyes solemn with questioning looking across the blessed mouths. "A little child shall lend them," and a chaste wife has no diviner attribute than that that makes motherhood a possibility| no sweeter humility that thnt which makes her proud to be the mother to her husband's children. A WORD TO BOYS The ljoy wanted in the business world today must, be educated. If his parents cannot afford to give him a high school or college education, he must learn to study without tlle aid of a teacher, in the early morning before business begins, and In the evenings nfter working hours. II can no longer be truthfully said said that an education is out nf nny one's reach. Our splendid school system has put the priceless treasure of an .education within reach of all. The main thing, In the beginnig, that we would impress upon boys In one of the great commandments, "Honor thy father and thy mother." The boy who respects his father and mother, who treats his sisters and brothers with loving kindness, has laid a good foundation for a successful career. Vou will do as your parents tell you, and tliat certainly will be to study. Don't be in a hurry to get away from your school books. The cares and responsibilities of business life will come soon enough. Go to school as long as you can and remember every hour spent lu study iu your youth will be worth money to you in after life. Read good books—the Bible above all. -Make yourself acquainted with history. Study the progress ot nations and the careers of men who have made nations great. If you have nn library of your own, get in touch with sonic man who lias. Learn to read Intelligently, so that you may turn to practical use in alter life the reading of your youth. Be sure you begin right. D» "ot waste time In reading trashy books. THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER .Newspapers are not published from philanthropic motives, but many country publishers are often tempted to believe that most of thc people in ilic community in which their lot Is cast bave this opinion of them. They are asked to grind everybody's ax aud they do so mosl patiently and willingly, provided no one is injured by the grinding. The local newspaper is expected lo know everything thflt is going on, and lo present the local news fully and attractively. It must be wide awake and progressive, vigilant trom the advancement of the material progress of the locality, be on ihe lookout for helpful projects, and he ready in season and out of season to exploit Ihe Industrial, agricultural and social advantages of the section with which it is Idenll- fleil. Tills work It does. And for so doing it should receive cordial and substantial support -_ sure incentive lo redoubled efforts, making the puller more pateiil for good in t|p! community. Par loo often the support Is only half-heartedly and grudgingly given; the publisher grows discouraged at the apparent lack of appreciation of his efforts; he can not afford the expenditures which are really necessary to make his paper what he would like to have it, and ll is said to he running down, when its decadure is, In fact, a reflection upon the spirit and , progress of the community, | There is no enterprise which deserves more liberal or considerable I treatment at the hands of the people than tbe local newspaper. Tlle local ' merchant should use it freely, and demonstrating that advertising pays, ; should willingly pay a fair price for ! the returns ho receives. Every Oft- i Izen should take ami rend his local ' newspaper and they will find the whole community quickened into new 'activity by the impulse which the live i local paper will give. In this way I the home paper should be made <i I tower of strength.

Imagine the effect on our rail transportation systems If half their outward freight traffic were withdrawn, Figures issued by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics show that oue- llalf of thc rail freight traffic originating ln British Columbia is made up of forest products. Last year the railways carried well over 2 000,000 tons of lumber, shingles and other wood products out of Brk- ish Columbia. At a low estimate the amount paid In freighl exceeded $2!j,00O,0OO. 81,000 Cars It took 81,000 cars tn handle the lumber shipped to our rail markets last year, These cars would make up a train from Vancouver to Banff Alta. The above ilgures do not Include the millions of feet of logs moved on public railways from camps to mills. The railways benefit enormously by the heavy freights paid on camp and mill machinery, equipment and supplies, entering the Province. The forest products group buys more material pnd employs mpre persons than the three or four next biggest Industries put together. Both coming ami going, it Is logging and lumbering that keeps the railway tracks from rusting. 25 This series of articles communicated by the Timber Industries Council of British Columbia.

Duncan, Conservative candidate for the Comox Electoral District, entertained a good-sized audience recently at a political meeting held in the Old Hall. In his address he spoke of the wasteful extrav- agnace of the Liberal Party in the handling of the land settlement at Merville. He also spoke of the Es- sondale Asylum where 65 per cent of the patients were hopelessly insane and the remainder was largely marie : up fo Chinese aad other foreigners. . This building had cost the country , $fl07,00Q and Wk. Duncan asked if those responsible for this waste had . not better he inside than outside. The Conservative candidate, also ' stated that last year the Liberals bandied 162 millions of dollars and had left the people wondering where the money went. He claimed that if ' the reins of government were left 111 Liberal hands the farmer would be eliminated by the overburdened taxes (he himself had to pay no less than J75.00 per month for taxes) and be j obliged to vacate tbe country thereby I leaving the latter dependent on other countries for Its foodtsuffs, | At the conclusion of the address many questions were asked by supporters of the Provincial Party and one and all were intelligently answered.

Not a branch for—Oh, so high; and our heads, when bent over hy the winds, look down, away down, upon the earth below, carpeted aud warmed by our needles. Our home is far from the civilized haunts of man. Nature's Paradise. A gentle slope at the foot of a mountain, upon the sides of which our du- cldous cousins are arrayed in their gorgeous tints of colored splendor. We see ourselves reflected in the quiet waters of a little lake which nestles at our feet. All around us, like a protecting zone, beautiful by moss and creeper, are jagged rocks and boulders, thrown up by some ancient upheaval, and extending far enough to keep away death by the Demon Eire, whose path of destruction and tearfulness is traced by the blackened skeletons rising above the luxurious undergrowth on the mountain side. We stand alone in our solitude. Our loneliness is our Life; but we see and music iu our branches, and the moaning of the winds Is our language. We are the monarchs of our environment. The silver birches on the lake line how their heads to us, and we are masters of our destiny. Man has looked upon us with wonderment and awe. The odor of our presence has lulled him to sleep; he has felt the warmth and security of our closeness ln storm and blizzard.

I Canadian Rational Railways Rearing Young Turkeys By A. G. TAYLOR, B.S.A., Poultry Division, Experimental Farm, Ottawa. Tlle rearing of young turkeys is not ns difficult as is generally supposed. It Is true that they will not stand exposure to cold or damp weather, hut when given a reasonable chance they can be successfully reared in any province in Canada. When lhe poults are ready to be taken from lhe nest, they and the mother turkey should be taken to a suitable place in the open. A convenient coop should he provided and he in waiting for the brood. An ordinary sized turkey can brood from twenty to twenty-five poults with safety. If any turkey ogga have been set under hens the poults should he given to the mother at batching time, as she can rear them more successfully than can tlle foster mother. Keeilinir tllc l'oults Poults should not be fed until they are at least forty-eight hours old and even sixty hours is not too long tn leave them without food. The first feed should be chick size oyster shell which should be scattered on a small board. Sour skim milk should also be given at this time. This is sufficient for them for most of one day and should be given in the morning. About four o'clock in the afternoon tbey should be given some hard boiled eggs which have been chopped fine. The following morning start regular feeding on hard boiled eggs and bread crumbs mixed together und fed three times daily until the birds nre one ! week old. At this time the eggs should he gradually discontinued and the feed consist of bread alone. When the birds are about two weeks old a little moist shorts may be added lo the ration and the bread crumbs discontinued until tiie feed consists of shorts alone. Any changes should be made gradually and no evil effects I wlll result. Al this stage it will ba found that the young poults are getting much of tlielr feed on the range and require very little feeding, and the feeds should then be reduced to two, morning and evening. Sour skim milk and pure water should he given dally from the start. Grit and oyster shell should also be provided. Care should be taken never to overfeed or to offer any food that has been mixed for a previous feeding. As the poults develop it !l; will he found that the area over which they travel becomes greater and that the amount of feed consumed at home decreases, until very little feeding is necessary. It will also be found that the birds grow ami thrive better on : the wide range witli very little feed. This Is why turkeys must have free range to make economical gains. Shooting (lie lied When the poults are about six weeks old they should get tlielr red heads after which time exposure to rain does them little harm and they may be allowed to roost in the open, on ; trees or on roosts put up for the purpose. They should he allowed to roost high enough from the ground to protect them from beasts of pre.. j Before the poults get their red heads | they should be protected from cold I rain storms as they take cold very easily if they get wet over the back . when young and when their feathers 1 ure undeveloped. Dew on the grass j will not hurt them providing the weather is warm. Why Pay More?

The Strawberries are of a very fine quality this season and a very good crop is now assured. Under the present arrangements the growers bere are very favorably situated as there is a good but limited local market for crate berries and in case of an emergency the Jam kettle at the Creamery can take care of a considerable quantity of fruit, Several hatches nave already been made at fhe Creamery this year.

The locals have not yet been defeated in a league game this year and their prospects for the league championship are exceedingly bright. Another Win for Hunden That ambitious youngster known in these purls us David Hunden, held his opponetns down to tl safe wallops ami as many runs while his team- males went out on a batting spree and ooralled 1(1 hits and 18 runs off the Courtenay portslder. Cumberland outplayed the home team in ev-- cry department, although in fairness to Courtenny it should be said they were without their strongest lineup. Next game they will probably have. Downey. Cummings, Harris and Millard to bolster up the weak spots, and judging rfom Sunday's gnnie they wlll need them all. Cumberland'! i Victory, however, was well deserved.

Robertson for Cumberland and Moore for the visitors, both port siders, pitched superb ball and allowed only a few widely-scattered bits. The former especially, considering this was his first gam? this year, gave great promise of making the coming season bis best yet. The local boys showed that their greatest weakness is in batting hut with a little practice this ought to be soon remedied. In the return game which is to he played in Powell River on July 1st they are confident that they will pound the ball to all corners of the lot and will bring home tbe "bacon." Hejtten by Japanese Thursday night saw the first league game which was won by the Japanese by the close score of 11-10. Both teams were in excellent form and, already the Intermediates are getting their batting eye, at least everyone managing to hit the ball.
