Nicol Presents Cup To Champions No. 1 Mine Surface Team Dominion Champions in First Aid Work in the Mining Division One of the greatest events ever held In tho city of Cumberland took place ill the Ilo-llo" theatre on Monday evening. At the appointed time to commence 700 or Slid people were either seated or standing in the Ilo- llo building, and lllled with enthusiasm ready for the tree concert and presentation of the Coderre Cup and medals. Tlle Nanaimo first aid team and supporters, who had arrived by automobile, were present, consisting of Joseph Barton (Capt,), James Brown, George Carson, Charles Nicholls and C. J. Taylor. No. 4 mine surface team of the Comox mines were also present composed of A. J. Taylor, (Capt.), Charles Nash, H, Boffey, J. Quinn and Archie Lockhart, the latter taking the place of J. G. Lockhart, who was unable to be present on account of an Illness that has caused him to be confined to his home for Borne weeks past. On the platform wore His Honor the Lieutenant-Governor of British Columbia, Hon. William Sloan, Minister of Mines for British Columbia, James M. Savage, General Manager, Thomas Graham, General Superintendent, Charles Graham District Superintendent of tlle Canadian Collieries (Dunsmuir) Ltd., B, H. S.

Thomas Menzles, M.P.P. lor the Coniox electoral district, Mr. Muskett, Mr. Thorpe of Nanaimo, and Frank Bond, President ^)f the Cumberland Centre of the sY John Ambulance Association, who occupied the chair. The proceedings commenced by all present standing and singing "God Save the King" with Mrs. R. E. Frost at tiie piano and Mr. W. A. Owen violin, which was loud and impressive.' \\ The chairman, in his opening remarks in addressing the audience, said, "We are here for the purpose of making the presentation of the Coderre Cup and present the medals to the winning teams. To render first aid to the injured in a large industrial centre was one of the greatest works known to man." The winning of the cup and medals was a great honor that every citizen in Cumberland and vicinity appreciated, aud expressed his sorrow that J. G. Lockhart, a member of No. 4 surface team, was unable to attend owing to a serious illness. He, the chairman, further ; stated tliat the success ot tiie team was due to tlio generosity, encouragement and kindness of the Canadian Collieries (Dunsmuir) Ltd., who were always ready to assist to their utmost in lirst aid and mine rescue work, nnd paid a magnificent tribute to Thomas Graham, the General Super- 1 intendent, and then called upon Mr. Curr, of Union Bay, for a song, which received loud appluuse and responded to an encore. Watkin Williams, of Bevan, was next with a song accompanied by W.C. Edwards. Violin solo, W. A. Owen, accompanied by .Mrs. R. E. Frost. A song was very effectively rendered by Miss Gilchrist, who responded to nil encore. The chairman said, "We have now arrived at the most important event ot the evening, the presentation of the Coderre Cup and medals representing the Dominion championship." Ills Honor the Lieutenant-Governor on rising, addressed the chair and audience, and In nn able address said In.part tliat,It gave him great pleasure to be present on such an occasion, congratulating No. 4 mine surface team on their success, He spoke of the value of Ilrst aid to the injured in large industrial centres, where there was more or less dangerous work to contend with. His Honor Bald it required active and intelligent men trained in first aid work, with presence of mind ready for any emergency. His Honor also stated that with the assistance of the Govern- > meat, tho operating companies and |) the energetic efforts of the first aid worker, they would, beyond a doubt, win further honors. He then proceeded to give the history of the Coderre Cup, which was presented to the St. John Ambulance Association of Canada by the Honorable Louis Coderre, who was Minister of Mines In the Borden Government. The cup Is subject to annual competition in first aid work is open to teams in Cannda. Tlio competition was dormant during the years of the war, and has only been competed for by British Columbia teams during the past two years. In l'J20 the Barton team of Nanaimo won the Coderre Cumberland second in the competition. In 1921, or last year's competition, the order of merit ln the Coderre Cup was reversed, No. 4 surface team of Cumberland winning first place with Barton's team of Nanaimo second. To get first and second place ln this competition speaks volumes for the Ilrst aid movement ln British Columbia, and particularly on Vancouver Island. His Honor then presented the cup to the captain of the No. 4 lurfaco team and presented each member of the team with a medal, which go with the cup. A, J. Taylor, captain of the team, upon receiving the cup thanked His Honor tho Lieutenant-Governor for his kindness ln being present and making the presentation, and said their success waB due to the assistance that tbey received from the Canadian Collieries I Dunsmuir) Ltd., whose help was always available. The chairman then called upon the Hon. William Sloan, Minister of Mines for the Province of British Columbia, who, ln an eloquent address pointed out the work that his department had done ln assisting first aid work throughout the province. Last year the record in underground accidents in British Columbia was such as any Government would be proud of. It was 1.4 per 1,000 and that was a better record than any other part of the continent of North America. He also dealt with the fatalities of the Ferule mines and the Protection Island shaft disaster. He said tiie life ot winding ropes under B.C. regulations had been cut down to two years, which was even better than Great Britain where the life of a rope was two and a half years. Throughout the mines of British Columbia naked lights were discarded and said this waB favored when Thomas Graham and Robert Wilkinson were chief inspectors, It w\\js also favored by James McGregor, the present chief. Speaking of the Idle time ln the coal mines of Vancouver Island, this was due to the tremendous Influx of fuel oil. He had no hesitation ln advocating an extra import duty on fuel oil, that coal may be placed on a competitive basis. He could not understand why transportation companies should send their good money out of the country supporting foreign industries with B.C. coal mines idle. It was urgent and Imperative that an extra import duty be placed on fuel oil. Barton's team and No. 4 surface team then lined up on the platform and the Hon. W. Sloan, Minister of Mines, said it gave him much pleasure on behalf ef the Province of British Columbia and the Department of Mines in presenting each member of the two teams with the Government medals. Captain Taylor thanked Mr. Sloan for his kindness in being present and making the presentations. Thomas Graham, General Superintendent of the Canadian Collieries (Dunsmuir) Ltd., was the next speaker, and said there was very little for him to say after hearing the previous speakers, congratulated the No. 4 surface team on their success and then went into the history of first aid work In the coal mining centre of the Province, going back forty years and then twenty yearB when the Miners' Safety Association of Vancouver [Bland was organized. Mr. Graham outlined the work of No. 4 surface team and their progress, giving great credit to the men and their Instructors, Dr. G. K. MacNaughton, Dr. E. it. Hicks, Mr. Frank Bond, President of Cumberland, and the members ot St John Ambulance Association, also James M.

Weddings WALlTwirlYTE A very pretty weddiuf; was solemnized on Thursday evening, June,8th, at 748 Burrard Street, Vancouver, B.C., when Miss Eunice Wall, daughter of Mr. W. H. Wall, became tho bride of Mr. James Whyte, son ot Mrs. Thomas Bennett, Cumberland, B.C. The house was prettily decorated for the ceremony, which was performed by Dr. A. M. Sauford, of Columbia College, who Is a friend of the family. The bride, given in marriage by her father, wore a lovely gown of white canton crepe, over which fell the bridal veil held in place with orange blossoms. She carried a bouquet ot white carnations and lilies of the valley. She was attended by her sister, Miss Rose Wall, while Mr. W Whyte, of Cumberland, supported tbe groom. Little Miss Lillian Randall, niece of the bride, made a pretty flower girl. Mrs. O. F. Randall presided at the piano. Following the ceremony a reception was held and later Mr. and MrB. Whyte left on the Victoria boat tor Brentwood, where the honeymoon was spent. H ARLING "TleDINGHAM A most Interesting wedding was solemnized on Wednesday morning at St. George's Presbyterian Church, when the Rev. J, Hood united in the holy bonds ot matrimony, a well known and highly respected couple of this city ln the persons of Miss Laura Harllng and Mr. John Ledlng- ham. The bride was led to the altar by her father, Mr. D. Harllng, and was dressed in a travelling suit, of navy blue with hat to match, carrying a beautiful bouquet of flowers. The choir, ot which the bride Is a member, sang "The Voice That Breathed O'er Eden," while the Misses Hood sang In duet, "O, Promise Me." Beautiful and artistic were the floral decorations ot the platform and altar, the work of Miss M. McKec aud Mr. L. R. Stevens. Mr. E. M. Hood and MIsb Hilda King were the witnesses, and during the signing of the register, MrB. R. E. Frost played the wedding maich. A number of Invited guests sat dowp to a splendid wedding breakfast at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harllng, after which the happy couple left by motor for Vancouver anil othcir coast cities, Western Film With Stampede "Man to Man" Carey's Latest Super - Western C'mon, see the West, young man It certainly is Iu "Man to Man," tlio UnlverBal-Jewel production at the ilo-llo theatre on Friday and Satur day. The broad sweeps of unfenced grazing kingdoms of Arizona and California furnished the background against which Hurry Carey and n strong cast of players were photographed in the action of a virile storv. A stampede of live thousand head of cattle gives enough thrill to the spectator lo prove that Stuart I'ntlon, the director, hasn't lost his pep since lie directed "Conflict" Prlseilla Dean's amazing Universal-Jewel' starring vehicle, whicli provided theatre-goers with a whole flock of tin-ills. Switching from the dives <>r Tlvu- Tivn in tlle South Seas to the hoi grazing lauds of Arizona, the story ol' "Man to Man," at thn llo-Ilo theatre, has wide range of appeal. It Is a Universal-Jewel feature starring Harry Carey, the actor who is "human" in Western roles. Opposite him Lillian Rich altrac- tively animates a figure In Jackson Gregory's story, a woman as charming as Miss Rich herself. Really wonderful Is this heroine, human enough not to be capable of hearing a hundred lies about the hero without believing sonic of tliem, and yet sweet to him because she's in love with him and can't help it-Athe state iu which a woman Is most beautiful and lovable. Harold Goodwin plays a juvenile role, while Alfred Allen ami Charles LeMoyne have their hands in dirty work from the first flash. Willis Robards, who died shortly after "Man to Man" was completed, leaves a masterly characterization in his final role—that of a blind ranch foreman. The Hurricane Hutch serial and comedy pictures will be screened with "Man to Man." On Wednesday only Pearl While will be screened in her latest special, "The Br.-.-f.'iway Peacock." Police Court News During the night of Friday lust the Government Liquor Store,* on Dunsmuir Avenue, v^ih broken into and a quantity of liquor of various brands was stolen. The contents of tho till were intact, the depredators were evidently satisfied with being able to get away with a good assortment of liquor. The" vendor, Mr. Robert Thompson, left the premises intact at 10.30 p.m. on Friday, and on opening the store at 10.30 the following morning found the back door and an inner door had been smashed open, and in addition to a number of bottles of whiskey, which had been taken from the shelves, four or live bags of beer had also been taken. Mr. Thompson immediately telephoned the chief of police, Mr. Merry, who was promptly on the spot, followed immediately by Provincial Constable Dunbar. Although the night watchman noticed nothing unusual, the robbery appears lo have been the work o£ a gang of live or ;ix men. \\ Investigations were made immediately and a few days later a considerable quantity of tiie stolen liquor, which had been cached on tbe outskirts of the city, was recovered by the police officers, Two men wore subsequently arrested and brought before the stipendiary magistrate Mr. J. Baird, when they were re manded till Saturday.' The police an closely following up their iim-stiga tlons, aud further developments arc expected very shortly, Locals'Lose to Nanaimo In Connaught Cup Game Only Goal Scored Was From,a Penalty Kick Given Against Campbell—Brewster Plays Splendid Game The lirst round of the Connauglit CuPi emblematic of the soccer champion of tin' Dominion, resulted hi the local team being knocked out in the .;iitial round by the Nanaimo eleven. The Cumberland team will now have ■> he content for this season ut any ate, with being returned winners of ihe-Vancouver Island League aud the Upper Island League. The game on Saturday last in the pup series proved to be a humdinger, tnd despite contrary reports appearing In the Nanaimo papers, wo still naintain tbat the locals had a slight idge on their opponents. Cumberland won the toss and elect* Ing to play facing the sun, but with a slight breeze in their favor, went off with great dasli and for the first ten minutes the visitors had a hot time of it. Nanaimo eventually settled dowu, tho game becoming exceedingly "ast. Some hard knocks were given and taken, Appleby and Zaeearejli appearing fo take a delight in using their weight on one another, with the result that both bad to be attended to by the respective trainers, Cumberland's left wing wero working well aud caused tho Nanaimo defence a great deal of worry, Appleby on two occasions coining within an ace of icorlng, As half time drew near both teams made strenuous efforts to open the scoring. .Milligan had extremely hard lines, lie tricked Stewart and had hard luck' in having his shot stopped by Hughes, the Inside right being knocked out in his efforts to score and the trainer's services were again called upon. Half-time arrived with Cumberland pressing. During the interval the Cumberland City Band played suitable selections, which were much appreciated by the large crowd present. On resuming play in the second, it was uasy to soo that both teams meant business,""as" the pace Bet was just as fast as the irwt half. The Nanaimo forwards In a nice combined move got. (dose to tho home goal. Fowler being nicely placed and receiving the ball from Stobbart, tho centre forward made tracks for Bill Walker. Jock Campbell, evidently thinking a certain goal was going to result, made no bones about it and brought Fowler down iu the penalty area. The referee as promptly blew his whistle and pointed for a penalty kick, Stobbart converting with a fast rising shot giving Walker no chance to save. There was absolutely no protest against the decision of Referee Rogers in giving n penalty. From where we stood on the side linos it did not appear us though Campbell had ntty cause to force tho centre forward as he would not have scored in a thousand years for Ire had practically lost contro 1 of the ball. In all fairness to Campbell, he thought there was a great likelihood of his opponent scoring aud he did what any other man would have done, brought his man down. There may be some who will argue otherwise, hut even in first-class league football In the old land, if there is a danger of a man scoring there Is no hesitation -they grass him. This reverse look the heart out of the locals for a time, but they eventually got Into their stride and for the last fifteen minutes of the game they gave the visitors a most anxious time, but fulled to score tite equalizing goal, Nanaimo winning a hard game by the odd goal. Mr. Rogers, of Ladysmith, refereed the game In a most excellent manner, keeping a firm hold all through the game. For the visitors, Stewart at left back played a sterling game, while Ross at right half also played a great game. Fowler, Stobbart and Dlckiu- eon, amongst the forwards, played. good football. For the homesters, the pick was Brewster; In fact he was the best man on the field playing a masterly game. Tho defonce was sound and apart from Campbell giving away u penalty, played real good defence, Tho forwards combined nicely for a reorganized front line and with a little luck would have scored on two or three occasions. The teams were: NANAIMO—Hughes; Zneearelll and Stewart; Ross, McDougall and O'Don- ncll; Dickinson, McMillan, Fowler, Stobbart nud Husband. CUMBERLAND — Walker; Conti and Campbell; Irvine, Kenny and Brewster; Hitchens, Milligan, James, Plump and Appleby.

LAUNCH DRIVE ON FISHERMEN Wholesale Seizures Among Japanese on West Coast—Nearly Two Score Bouts Seized Without Licences Seized for Illegal Ashing, between thirty and forty Japanese fishing vessels have been taken in charge by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police at various points on the West Coast of Vancouver Island during this week. In conjunction with the Federal fisheries protection service, the police have launched a drive against unlicensed fishermen, and are checking up the papers of all the craft operating from the West Coast. Nine Japanese boats were seized on Monday, the opening day of the campaign, and since that time the number of seizures has been augmented steadily until yesterday It was reported to be nearly forty. .Major J. A. Motherwell, Dominion Inspector of Fisheries for British Col- iimbiar with headquarters at Vancouver, has been at Port Alberni and Clayoquot superintending the operations. He has now returned to Vancouver. Japanese fishermen on the West Coast have been giving quite a little trouble this spring and summer. To prevent them from getting too firm a hold upon the fishing industry on the West Coast, the Government this year reduced considerably the number of licenses to be given to Japanese. In Three Mile Limit The fishermen unable to get licenses then adopted the expedient of doing all their fishing beyond the three-mile limit, claiming that no licences were needed to fish beyond territorial waters. To deal with this evasion an order-ln-councll was passed some weeks ago at Ottawa ranking licenses imperative for all fishing vessels of Canadian registry clearing from Canadian ports to fish, whether Inside or. outside the three- mile limit. Fisheries patrol cruisers have since then been busy on tho West Coast overhauling and examining the Japanese craft, many of which have been fishing as usal In defiance of the government regulations. It Is said that the Japanese have taken the matter up with the Imperial Japanese Government, protesting against what is regarded as the high-handed action of the Canadian authorities.

May 21.—Neill spoke on budget. Protested strongly against further Importations of Japan coal as ballast by government ships. Demanded better attention to the needs of B.C. especially ln country ridings, which In the past had been ignored for benefit of city seats. Urged the claim of B.C. to better and lower freight rates. Had the motion of the Government to submit the Crow's Nest agreement re railway rates to a committee, not been carried (all the B.C. Conservatives voted against it) the agreement would have automatically gone Into effect, which would have meant not only the continuation of the present high rates but still greater discrimination against B.C., which, Hon. John Oliver stated in his evidence before the committee, would have spelt ruin to many of the B.C. industries. May 29.—Neill introduced Bill 122, an act respecting Immigration copied from New Zealand Act. Provides that every immigrant before coming to Canada must apply In writing for permission which can be granted or refused by Canadian Government. Explained that as it applies to every one, Japan Government could not ob ject as they are not mentioned by name and yet the act could be used to forbid any oriental. Urged the Government to conside It. BUI passed first reading but questionable if It will come up for second reading this session as Government business takes precedence now.

Armed with sunflower "stickers" they were sweeping through South em California, while girls fled right and left. Riverside was the first city they-hit. They walked the streets ln droves and it took some clever footwork on the part of Riverside girls who did not carry a big, yellow paper sun flower on each calf. The naughty Kansans, far from widely control, asked no questions. They Just "licked the sticker" and pat-pat-pat—another pair of California calves were advertising the Sun flower State.

Japs 13, Union Buy 10 This game was very disappointing to the spectators, who expected to see a. snappy brand of ball. Both teams have played airtight ball at the Hay, but the diamond evidently was too fast for them. The visitors chased In five runs In the first and also the third, but were held scoreless afler that. The Japs on the other hand kept on driving the runs in and celebrated Dangerfleld's entry the box, In favor of Andorson, in the fourth by scoring live runs, thus tlelng the score. This encouraged the Japs and they added a run in the fifth and two in the eighth. Score by Innings: R. H. E.

Cumberland 0, Bevan 1 The Cumberland intermediates visited Bevan Sunday morning ln the other IntiQmedlate league fixture. The locals found little trouble ln winning, the home team securing its lone tally in the ninth Inning. Hunden fanned 15 batters for Cumberland which will probably stand as a league record for some time. Aitken pitched steady ball for Bevan, allowing but six safe singles In as many innings. Westlield also twirled for Bevan and gave away a hit every inning for throe innings. Both teams played good ball, although the diamond could hardly be called fast. Cumberland bungled two chances and Bevan four. Umpire W. Aitken. BASEBALL TEAM BROKE EVEN IN TWO GAMES (Continued from Page One) ing caught at third. Cain fanned. The visitors scored another ln the eighth. Bannerman got his first hit, and Horton, after two men were down, hit a hot one to Bailey, which bounded out to the field. Finch sin gled, scoring Bannerman. Horton was the third out when he was forced at third on King's hit to Aitken Only three men faced Shakespeare in Nanaimo's half ot the eighth. A. Beattle hit to second and was thrown out at first; Bailey Hied out to short and Parkes struck out. Kaye wound up a splendid day by striking out three men on ten pitched balls, receiving a rousing welcome on his return to the dug-out tor the feat. Score by innings: R. H. E.

Do you know that a falcon in captivity will not live if it is not given at least one bath a week, and that it should be thoroughly bathed twice a week7 No! Well, no one else knew it around the Pickford-Falrbanks Studio, at Hollywood, until one of these birds was Imported from England to play a part In the Douglas Fairbanks screen version of "Robin Hood." Among the instructions sent from the old country with this falcon was one marked "especially important." This referred to the necessity for cleanliness in the care of the feathered creature.

ILHBIS Interviewed Local Member The residents of Trent River Road appreciate the Improvements that have been made and interviewed Mr. Thomas Menzles, M.P.P., during his recent visit, who promised to use his best endeavors to secure additional financial assistance, so that the road may be extended. There'are now a dozen farmers situated in that section of the district. A Kansas town offers a reward of twenty-five cents to every boy who brings a stray cat to the city pound. If the city fathers here in Cumberland were to offer even five cents per cat, some ol our noted young citizens would soon make a pot ot money; if one ot them sighted tabby It would be a case of the survival of the litest. Getting Rid of the Thistle So many farmers and residents ln our neighborhood are having difficulty ln eradicating the noxious weed known as the thistle, and tor the benefit ot those affected the following cure Is submitted. The Department of Agriculture published a book called "Weeds of Alberta," and it Is trom that book that the pointers have been obtained regarding the control ot the thistle. The book states that, as the roots of the thistle extend below the level reached by the plow, other ways than by plowing have to be used to destroy the weed. The use ot a stiff- tooth cultivator Is recommended, as it cuts away the stalk and leaves of the plant, and the roots finally die from lack of air. This method has been followed for the past three years and with excellent results. In the fall of 1919, a field was plowed which was bad with thistles, and in 1920 a stiff tooth duck- foot cultivator was used on the thistle patches Just as the plants started to show' above the ground, which was not until May. During the summer and fall, even to October, the stiff tooth cultivator was used as soon as the new stalks were noticeable, which would be trom a week to ten days after the previous cultivating. In 1921, the thistle patch was watched very carefully, in only five places did any thistles grow, and ln these the plants were small. This manner of cultivation Is the only one that has been found to successfully destroy the weed, which is so fast becoming a pest. As a proof ot the claim that fans keep In very close touch with the current activities of their favorites, It Is cited that Douglas Fairbanks has Just received a letter trom an English admirer, residing in Bombay, India, addressed as follows: "Mr. Doug Robin Hood, care ot The Virginian, Hollywood, Calif." Mr. Fairbanks Is now In the midst of producing "Robin Hood," and "The Virginian" is on schedule as one of his future pictures.

He is Sir Claud J. Rlvett-Carnac, fourth baronet, who was In England In 1908, a year before his father died. Since that time he has not corresponded with the family, who do not even know whether the present baronet, now about 44 years of age, is aware that he has succeeded to the title. Tho mother and sister desire to locate him, not only for sentimental reasons, but because the baronetcy fund, and the accumulated Interest In the years since the death of tlio third baronet, must he dealt with. Practically nothing since 1!)16-1!U7 of an authentic nature is known of the missing baronet, who it is stated, declared when he left home tliat lie would never return. The family have evidence that tho missing man has been seen on the Pacific Coast. A newspaper reported in 11115 his marriage to an actress in Sun Francisco. Sir Claud went to South Africa early in the war, served ln the Cape Mounted miles, and won a medal with five clasps. The heir to the title is Sir Claud's cousin, William Perclval Rlvctt-Car- nac, of London, England. Col. Percy T. Rlvett-Carnac of Che- mainus, who is widely known in the Island, and Is also a South African war veteran with distinguished service, is a relative of the missing baronet.

BICKLE SATURDAY JUNE 17 1922 SELFISHNESS Probably the greatest iuipedinieti; to progress ln Cumberland, and in all other towns in this wide, wide world. Is selfishness. The most miserable human on earth is the man, or perchance the woman, who Is Inuocu- lated with the virus of selfishness. and yet we all suffer from this blast Ing disease. Selfishness is the trail of the slippery eel. It Is the appetlti ot the gnawing rat. It Is the devilish selfishness on the part of a woman that lias closed the Ooor to many a happy home, and sent tho man in a delicious dream down to hell. It Is selfishness that causes the husband to withhold from the wife the means needed to buy the improvements that will lessen her wort ln the kitchen. If it were possible to taka from this world all its selfishness we would have little need foi any reforms. Did you ever stop to think how thi; leprosy oi; selfishness has fastened Itself upon you? How often have you wrapped tin cloak of sullen selfishness about you and walked hurriedly past the cripple selling pencils on the corner? How many times today have you thoughi of self, and how many times this verj day have you really considered the Interests of others? Some men are so goshblamod greedy for yellow gold ami so selfish that when they come in your presence thuy cause your skin to shrink and you break out all over with goose pimples.

After some negotiations the load of sand was delivered and tbO father had It dumped under a cherry tree and a board was put acro:.3 one side of the pile of sand to keen It In place. The children were delighted and went busily to work with little buckets and spoons, fush- lonlhg t Illinois and wonderful palaces In the °n:-.d. Then the little boy began to carry tho snnd away and the mother, watching from the kitchen window, lnd to stop and explain thai !f the sand was carried uway, the nice sand pile would In time be all gone and the playground destroyed.

Now the children .ould be content to play In their own yard and mother could watch them rom the kitchen window. The sand lie was to prove a good Investment, luring the night the family were ,'akened by a storm. The heavens ened and the rain came dtfwn In rrents. As tho father went to close tho window, a vivid flash of lightning lit up the yard and he saw the llltle buckets and the spoons, and the sand pile helng swept away toward tho street In the morning, when the little boy nnd his sister went to look for the ennd pile, It was gone — washed away In the storm of the nl&ht before As the mother comforted her disappointed children at breakfast, father sipped his coffee And thought how other wall-planned THE CLASS OF '22 Commencement time!

These sections show the edges of the load plates used in the battery and botween the plates very thin corrugated sheets of wood. These shoots are known as separators and while perhaps appearing relatively unimportant have Iu fact been the subject of extensive research. Wood for battery separators must possess special chemical and physical properties and until very recently the wooden separators used In Canada were made almost exclusively of Imported woods. The Forest Products Laboratories of the Forestry Branch, Department of the Interior, recently undertook research, to determine whether any Canadian wood was suitable for separator work, and as a result found a most excellent material in tho yellow cypress of British Columbia. Tills wood was found to possess tiie requisite properties to a high degree and Is now in relugar commercial use for the manufacturers of separators. investments of his hud been swept away like the little tots' sand pile.

Milk Goats Milk goats are particularly adapted for the small-holder, and for people in outlying districts, as they enable one to become more self-supporting, and are of great use in cleaning up brush weeds, etc. When you realize tliat a good average goat will supply you with two quarts of rich, delicious milk a day, and that from that milk you can make butter «and cheese, you will want to keep a gont, just as you now keep chickens to get your own fresh eggs. It is recommended, however, that two goats he kept, so that one would al ways be In milk, nud besides, no animal does well alone. You can keep a goat at a cost of from a dollar to a dollar and a half a month. The prejudice existing against milk goats in the minds of lliose who have not had experience with them Is duo lo ignorance. Nanny goats have no objectionable odor—rather the opposite—and the milk, Instead of being strong-tasting, as some people imagine, is ns sweet and wholesome, if not more so, than any got from cows The goat, moreover, ls..a dainty and particular feeder, and will not-toucli soiled food; this nnd the open air lire they enjoy accounts for their immunity from tuberculosis. Out of ovor 60,000 goats killed for food In one abattoir alone in the States during the last ten years not one case of tuberculosis was found. Goat's milk is rich, containing from live to six per cent hutterfat, and yet the fat globules ore so small that the milk Is digested in one-third of the time it takes to digest cow's milk; tills Is why goat's milk make's such an ideal food for infants and invalids. lloast kid equals, If it does not surpass roast lamb, and mature goats or neuters are used as mutton, and in ninny parts of the world are the only source of supply of that food. As showing the distribution of goats througbout the world, It may be mentioned that iu India there are 30,000,- 000; in United States, 3,000,000; ln Mexico, 4,000,000; in Argentine, 4,000,- 000; in Brazil, 10,000,000; In France, 1,500,000; in Germany, 3,600,000; In Spain, 3,00,000, etc. A good average common goat ln milk will cost from $40.00 up. Milk goats with some breeding ln them will fetch higher prices, and registered pure-bred stock of high quality Is worth on the basis of $75.00 and up for five months' old kids. Remember that goats, especially good ones, are scarce and the supply will not equal the demand for years to come, »and that although'the first cost Is high, the feed cost is only nominal and a good milker will soon pay fir Itself. Warning When buying a goat, see it milked or got a line on tiie milk yield of its dam or sisters. There are people exploiting the goat business for ail it is worth, and ready to take advantage of your ignorance. When buying a pure-bred or regis tered grade goat, get the seller to hand you the Canadian or American registration papers, together with transfer application form duly signed, and If the ear tags are not in the goat'B ears get them also. Angora Coats Anguras are entirely distinct from milk goats, being raised for their wool or mohair. They are white goats with long, curly coats, horns and drooping ears. Hundreds of thou sands are kept in the States of Wash' ington aud Oregon, as well as other States to the South. They have not been bred to any great extent In British Columbia, but should do well here. The poorer grades are used for clearing land. Why labor to clear land?

One need not be a partisan ot the arguments advanced for the Independence of Montenegro on the one hand, or for her absorption by Serbia on the other, without being able to realize where the truth lies. It Is perfectly obvious why Italy for political, strategic and dynastic reasons should wish It to be restored to full liberty of action as an Independent State. It Is equally obvious why France should not desire this to be so. The propaganda of each, In order to secure Its-ends, Is open to suspicion. Moreover, the noncommittal attitude of the British Govern ment is no mystery. There is only one possible deduction to make from the refusal ot this Government ot the request made ln the House ot Commons to publish the report of the Count de Sails on Montenegrin conditions. The report utterly condemned the methods practiced by Serbia and supported by France and the French Generals, Franchet d'Esperey and Venal, by which Montenegro was annexed to Serbia, and the publication of these things by the British Government would hardly be considered aB a friendly act toward France, whose sensitiveness has been one of the most trying elements ln post-bellum readjustments. It does not particularly matter whether the de Sails report confirms ln all Its gruesome details, "The Bloody Album of the Karageorge vltch.' • The fact that It Is a general confirmation of the alleged atrocities of the Serbs In Montenegro Is quite sufficient for all reasonable persons, And, finally, It Is perfectly natural that our own State Department, The telephone at your elbow seems so simple an instrument, it does its work so quietly and quickly, that it is difficult to realize the vast and complex equipment, the delicate and manifold adjustments, the ceaseless human care in the central office. It is the skill behind the scenes, together with scientific development and construction, efficient maintenance and operation, which make it possible for you to rely upon the telephone day and night.

A Grave Injustice The only thing that matters is that a grave Injustice has been done a brave and ancient people. The steps by which this injustice has been developed may be read as an open book: Montenegro, with an area about that of Connecticut and a population about that of Rhode Island, became. In the seventh century, the cradle ol the tribes of Slavs pressing down into the Balkans from the northeast, and ln the succeeding five centuries, principally under Its Kings, Bodin and Michael, It greatly flourished until Incorporated ln the great Serbian Kingdom of the middle ages. This kingdom was obliterated by the Turks on the Plain ot the Blackbird—Kossovo, 1389—and henceforth Montenegro, whose black shadow of its greatest mountain, Lovscbem, gave to It Its name, because the asylum tor the Slavs escaping from the slavery ot the Turks. They and the survivors of Kossovo, mostly Serbians aristocrats, formed the new Montenegro, which for centuries was the only nation ln the peninsula which successfully defied the invasion of the Turks, even when the latter had passed on and were thundering at the gates of Vienna. Under Its Bishops, Princes, and finally a King, Montenegro always took the lead in the successive attempts to drive the Turks from Europe, and Its moun tains as often offered a sure refuge to the defeated survivors, Montenegro fired the first shot iu the first Balkan war of 1912, sent 10,000 troops to aid Serbia against Bulgaria ln the second Balkan war of 1913, and followed Serbia Into the World War ln August, 1914. King Nicholas, of Montenegro, who died In exile.a year ago, has been accussed of trying to make a separate peace with Austria in the spring of 1915. If he did so, nothing came of the negotiations, for ln the Autumn ot that year we find his adult male population mobilized to a man and gallantly defending the left flank of the Serbian Army as It retreated from Belgrade. Then there was the sur render of Mount Lovschon, which was said to command the Austrian ships in the Bay ol Cattaro—commanded them It only It had possessed 12-Inch guns, which the Allies, after numerous promises, failed to provide. Again negotiations with Vienna were reported, but it there were any they must have proved as unsuccessful as the former, for Nicholas and members ot his responsible Government fled to France. During the period, of Austrian occupation the Invaders had no more success ln establishing a provincial government In Montenegro than Serbia now has in establishing one of annexation. All through the war and down to the time of the armistice Entente statesmen and even President Wilson repeatedly spoke with the same fervor about restoring Montenegro as they did about the restoration of Bel- glum and Serbia, about the lost provinces of France, about the rights ol Greek nationals in Turkey. Influence of Two Events But two events were to take place in November, 1918, which were lo make all these pious utterances ineffective at the Paris peace conferences and at the other conferences that followed—ineffective even before the Council and the Assembly of the League of Nations,- An almost humorous episode ot the situation is that the Reparation Commission has $2,000,000 collected tor and due Montenegro, but doosu't apparently know to whom to pay It although Serbia has put ln a claim. In extenuation of the attltudo of the Washington Government It has been officially stated that tho presence of the de Jure Government of Montenegro at Rome Is quite Irregular. Is it, however, any more Irregular than the presence of a Russian embassy at the defunct Kerensky FAMILY SHOE REPAIRER S DAVIS DiHwmuir BROWN'S TOBACCO, CIGAR AND CONFECTIONERY STORE Good Selection ot Pipes, Cigar and Cigarette Holders. James Brown Cumberland Government at Washington? Now what were the two events which in November, 191S, seemed to1 change the entire status of Montenegro? In the lirst place, a National •\\ssenibly was elected in Montenegro in November 19, and five days later, neeting at Podgorica, proceeded to /ote the annexation of the country o Serbia and to abolish the dynasty. Then the Government at Belgrade 'ratified" this vote. We see, there-' ore, that the present onicially ac-, opted, but legally unacknowledged, tatus of Montenegro had ils origin n the vote of the National Assembly it Podgorica. It is said in extenua- ion of the Serbian officials who con- lucted tlio elections wilh the aid of lie French military that It was Im- losslblo to gather the old Assembly lecause two-fifths of the doputiea /ere refugees abroad, and so it beanie necessary to elect u now one. .low this election was absolutely un- iotistituttonnl, as no opportunity wm ;lven tor ihe gathering of the old Parliament which hail been ordered o re-assemblc by royal decree on tlle lay after -the armistice was signed. It docs not matter whether the Sor- ilan officials, who were hurried from llelgr'ade to supervise tho elections, .'xcrciscd all their Ingenuity and honesty to have the elections lair. The call for the elections in itself was an illegal act, and, in its defiance of tho Jecrce assembling the old Parliament, quite open to suspicion. But was tills election fairly con- duoted—and the report of the Count de Sulis confirms that fact—why is the report not published? In the circumstances it Is perfectly fair to believe tliat the report confirms nothing of the sort; that its conclusions are, on the contrary, quite the opposite. This belief iinds both color and proof In the stories told by Montenegrin refugees in this country and in the added fact tliat the people at home are trying to show in every possible way that they object to lhe domination of Serbia. is It Reasonable! And consider the history of Moute- uegor, consider the history of Serbia. Does It seem reasonable that the aristocrats of the Black Mountain, after the struggle of centuries to maintain their independence, and when that independence was actually achieved should suddenly decide to bocomo the members of a people whoso ancestors were the farm servants of those who escaped from the slaughter of Kossovo? An ulllrmative answer does not appeal to the understanding. Nearly a year ago the Montenegrin Government dispatched to the State Department at Washington a memorandum relating to tlio revocation of the exequatur of tile Montenegrin Consul General, F, i>. Dix, resident at New York. Aside from tbe specific nature of the protest, as its general lines will bo followed by the delegates at Genoa, It may not be found uninteresting to read here the exact contention of the Government de jure in regard to tlle present situation. The document, which is signed by J. S. Plamenatz, Premier and Minister of Foreign Affairs, says iu part: "When the Serbian troops, led by French officers, entered Montenegro and accomplished the annexation ot tiie allied Montenegro by force and bloodshed; and when the Montenegrin people rose in arms against this new oppressor, President Wilson, at one of the sittings of the i'eace Conference, composed a message which was communicated to the .Montenegrin people through the Montenegrin Government and my means of the French military authorities. Hy this telegram the representatives of the great powers appealed to the Montenegrin people to stop all further bloodshed, assuring them tbat they would he given tho right of free self- determination, "The term 'free self-determination' cad be understood in only two ways: either the right of self-determination as foreseen in the Montenegrin Constitution or the self-determination which was granted even m onomvl provinces, such as Hleswig, Upper Silesia, etc. "if President Wilson's message I" ilie people of Montenegro meant tho Ilrst method, then Montenogro should have been restored In the same way as Belgium and Serbia, If. however, the second method was Intended bv the words 'free Belt-determination,' this should have been carried out by means of a plebiscite, which would naturally mean the withdrawal of the Serbian Army of Occupation, while Lhe vot'ng would be conl rolled by the great allied powers. "However, neither the ono nor the other has yet been put into practice, so that the question of .Montenegro still remains open, while Ihe great powers are hound to settle it in favor of the constitutional liberty of the .Montenegrin people.

Six THE CUMBERLAND ISLANDER SATURDAY, JUNE it 1842 & 4^># -» Standing, sitting and walking correctly are the first essentials to good health and that elusive charm we call style Personal Mention A LL wortien wish to be well; but all women ytS do not appreciate the vital importance JL A.of correct corsetry as an essential to good health. The well-known medical authority, Alice S. Cutler, M.D., warns us: "As a physician who knows that if it were not for ill-fitting and the wrong kind of corsets we would have very few female in valids, I am naturally determined to do everything in my power to educate women in the proper fitting of corsets. Most learned physicians now recognize the modern corset as a hygienically healthful garment and one that is often the best means of providing corrective support for many bodily ailments." ffi 1 g The Original-Unequalled Front Lacing Corsets have attained their unquestioned superiority by assisting nature to perfect expression. Every Gossard is hygienically correct. Properly fitted to the figure for which it was designed it will give scientific support to abdominal and back muscles, with no chance of undue pressure at the waistline; the organs of nutrition will be free from pressure; the erect posture which is induced will encourage deep breathing and the diaphragmatic mus cles become strong with use. A woman so corseted will have the undeniable beauty of health and that grace of body, standing, sitting, or walking, which is best expressed in the one word, style. i We unreservedly recommend Gossard Corsets as the complete expression of modern corsetry. Our highly specialized corset service is maintained with a full appreciation of the exacting needs of the modern, active woman.
