TWENTY-NINTH YEAR—No. 24. CUMBERLAND, BRITISH COLUMBIA, SATURDAY. JUNE 12. 1920. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE: TWO DOLLARS PER ANNUM. G.W.V.A. CONCERT AND DANCE GREAT SUCCESS Local Artists, Ably Assisted by Mr. Gideon Hicks and Mr. D. R. Christopher, of Vancouver, Contributed Fine Programme— Dance After the Concert Was One of the Most Enjoyable. Held This Season—Building Fund Considerably Augmented. The Construction Fund of the Great War Veterans' Memorial Hall will receive a good boost as a result of the concert and dance held in the Ilo-llo Theatre Thursday evening, which are declared to be the best held in this locality for some time. In Mr, Charles Graham's brief remarks at the concert, he said the entertainment had been arranged to augment the Construction Fund of the Memorial Hall. The contract had been let to Mr H. Trehearne, of Courtenay. All the material required had been contributed try the Canadian Collieries, and the city had given the land, while the citizens were expected to provide funds for the construction. The hall will be dedicated to the memory of the brave boys from Cumberland who liiid down their lives in the service of the Empire. It is your duty, said Mr, Graham, to see that the memorial is sustained. He thanked the artist3 and the city band ,for their services in making the concert a success. The special feature of the evening was the songs by Mr. Gideon Hicks. of Vancouver, who had consented to remain in Cumberland until the eon- cert, to help in the worthy cause. His opening song was "I'll Sing Thee Songs of Araby," which he sang in magnificent form, his splendid voice giving much pleasure to the audience. He was enthusiastically applauded and encored again and again, his third song, "In the Time of Roses." being very pleasing. Mr. D. R. Christopher, of Vancouver, was also persuaded to remain over iu Cumberland so that the concert would have the benefit 0*1 his assistance. He sang "The Mighty Deep" splendidly. for which he was given a big ovation, when he replied with "Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes." With tlie addition of the two singers above named, the programme was carried out as arranged, all the artists being in good form, encores being tlie regular thing. Tlie Cumberland City Band, played several selections under the leadership of Mr. Monte, all of which were well rendered and well received. Mrs. R. E. Frost was accompanist for most of the singers, Mrs. F. Oliver and Mr. W. A. Owen also assisting. The programme included a song by Sir. W. G. Hasaell, "Mother Machree," "Scene de Ballet," was a violin solo by Mr. Colville Graham; song. "The Barefoot Trail," by Mrs. A. C. Lymn; song, "Little Mother of Mine," by Mr. Howard Macauley; a pianoforte duel by Mrs. Frost and Mrs. Oliver, Overture to "William Tell." Miss Leslie sang, "I Gathered a Rose" aud for an encore sang the ever-popular "By Kiilarney's Lakes and Dells" very sweetly. Mr. Monte gave a trombone selection, accompanied by the band. A trio by Mrs. Frost and Messrs. Owen and C. Graham, enlisted much applause, the vocal duet, "Absent," by Miss A. Leslie and Ml*. Macauley likewise delighted the audience. After a few remarks by the chairman, Mr. Charles Graham, as noted above, the Cumberland Band brought the concert to a close with the playing of a march. The Geo. A. Fletcher Music Company of this city kindly lent tlie G. W. V. A. the use of a piano for the entertainment. Following the concert a large number attended the dance, which was most enjoyable, it being regarded as one of tlie most successful held here for some time. PROVINCIALVOTERS' LIST ALL OLD LISTS NOW CANCELLED All citizens of this province who are entitled to vote at any Provincial or Dominion election will have to register on the new Voters' List on or before July 15 next or be disfranchised, as under the Elections Act passed at the last session of the Provincial Legislature, and assented to by the Lieutenant-Governor, all existing Voters' Lists were automatically wiped out. This was a wise move as the old lists contained very many names of people who have long since died or moved out of the jurisdiction* TOO LATE AFTER JULY 15. At present there is no Voters' List in this province, and as names will not automatically register themselves voters are urged to enroll themselves early as possible. It is very little trouble to go before a commissioner or other person authorized to receive applications and fill in the necessary application form. But it will be too late to do so after July 15'next, at which date the new list closes, and the new list will be used at the Prohibition Referendum in September, as well as at the forthcoming provincial elections, which, it is stated in high places, may take place much sooner than the man on the street anticipates. In all probability this list will also be used in the Domonion elections. From all of which the voter will realize the absolute necessity of registering—and that at once—or lose his or her vote on these important occasions. VANCOUVER CELTICS V. CUMBERLAND UNITED The Celtic football team from Vancouver are scheduled to play the Cumberland United on the "Y" Grounds this afternoon in the Inter-City League games. The kick-off is at 5.30. Tlie Cumberland players selected to play are: Goal—Clark; backs—Smith and Wilkinson; half-backs—B. Brown, T. Jackson and S. Sullivan; forwards—Bannerman, Conti, Jamej, Boothman and Harrison; reserves—Walker, Williams and Brown. Although the Celtics .have not won any points in the summer league, as each week goes on they are finding out the weak places in their team and strengthening it. Manager Davidson claims that he has .now got'a strong aggregation together, and intends to make Cumberland go all the way this time. However, as the local boys have now settled down to training the Celtics will have a tough proposition to outdo them. A first-rate game is anticipated. AT THE ISLANDER OFFICE LIST ONLY OPEN UNTIL JULY IS TO CONSIDER BYLAW HOTELS Citizens qualified to vote may register their names on the new Voters' List at The Islander offlce. They are urged to make early application as the time of enrollment is short and unless they register on the new list they will have no vote on either the Prohibition Referendum or Provincial elections, and possibly not on the Dominion elections. Applications will be received at the office of this paper between the hours of 11 and 12 a.m. and 4 and 5 p.m. Remember—You Have No Vote Unless You Register. DELEGA BOARD OF TRADE H ERE MONDAY The visit of the Wholesale Bureau of the Vancouver Board of Trade to Cumberland has been changed to Monday, instead of Saturday, as previously announced. Mr. J. Walton, secretary of the local Board of Trade, received a telegram yesterday to this effect. The party of about thirty-five are making the trip from Victoria by automobile, calling at important points on the way up. They are due to arrive in this city around noon, and will have luncheon at the Union Hotel. The purpose of this visit is to enable the visitors to become better acquainted with the business men of the various districts, and see the country and its possibilities at first hand. NANAIMO TEAM PLAYS IN VANCOUVER Special Meeting Decides That Schedule as First Arranged Be Adhered To. A special meeting of the Inter-City League was called for Wednesday last In Vancouver. Mr. N. Bevis, secretary of the Cumberland Club, represented the local club. The special business before the meeting was tlie complaint from the Nanaimo Club concerning tlie schedule, as according to that the Nanaimo team will havo to travel three Saturdays in succession. They clalmed it an Injustice. Tlie meeting lusted four hours, and it was clearly demonstrated that if they altered any particular game now all would require to be changed, and it was filially decided to carry out the schedule as it stands. It was admitted, though, that the fault lay in the drawing up of the schedule nt the beginning of the season, and some of the clubs not taking enough notice of same until it was too late. Newspapers from time to time have published' conflicting schedules, which have been misleading. It is hoped that greater precaution will be taken in the future.

OIISTItlVTINH THE QX&E Mr. Bevis has forwarded the Islander a communication on the conduct ot some of the spectators of lasi Saturday's game, which we have pleasure in publishing. Some of the remarks and actions of apparently respectable citizens at tjie game on the Y grounds Saturday lust were closely approaching the disgraceful. To hurl insulting remarks at the referee when his decision is not in accord with the observer's own idea, is anything but sportsmanlike. Hushing on the field of play when it goal is .scored and otherwise obstructing the game calls for much condemnation. The writer firmly believes (he local team would have had another goal in their favor hud not the referee's view been obstructed by spectators crowding round the goal. Mr. Bevis* letter follows: Editor Islander. Sir.—Allow me space in your paper to make an appeal to the football enthusiasts and supporters of the Cumberland Football Club. In our game last Saturday with the Vancouver Rangers our supporters became very excited, no doubt owing to ihe ?abt game and hard luck 01 our team. In their excitement many seemed to lose absolute control of themselves and entered on the field of play to congratulate the players on their success when the local team scored. Now, although we. the executive of the Cumberland Football Club, appreciate the value of our supporters in different ways, I will endeavor to point out that these methods of boosting the team lias many faults. Firstly, the executive is responsible for keeping the field of play free from obstruction ; and also it has been known that on many occasions iu football games the home team supporters were tbe means of their team losing points by such obstruction of play. I am advised that on Saturday last our team lost a goal that was scored but the referee's view was obstructed by our supporters who were lined up around the' goal. Therefore 1 hope that our supporters will see tlie importance of our plea and assiat us by keeping well back from either of the goals, also n considerable distance from the touch line. We'urgently request all spectators to show all visiting teams that we are true sportsmen behind the Cumberland Football Club by showing courtesy towards them, and not to abuse cither players, referee or linesmen, Let us accept all decisions as sports, because all lim com pi ants practically rest on the shoulders of the executive of tho home Irani. Therefore ['again ask our BUpporters to consider this and assist the executive. Yours in sport, NAT BBV1S, Secretary Cumheratnd F. C. Cumberland, B. C. June 11, 1920.

CONCERT PARTY WILL VISIT Cumberland Friday, June 18 TEN PIECE ORCHESTRA SOLOS DUETS Concert = 50 cents James Dunsmuir. a former premier ot British Columbia, and one time lieutenant-governor of the Province, died rather suddenly on Sunday at Cowlchan Lake, where he had gone in an endeavor to recuperate from falling health. Mr. Dunsmuir suffered a seizure on Saturday night and was attended by Doctors H. J. Wasson and E. S. Hasell, but passed away at an early hour Sunday morning. Mrs. Dunsmuir was not with her husband at the time of his death, having been on a visit to Seattle. She returned Immediately. In addition to his wife, Mr. Dunsmuir ls survived by nine children, Robin, the only remaining aon. who Is at present In Buenos Aires; Bessie (Mrs. John Hopel, May (Mrs. Bromley), wife of Commander Bromley. R. N.; Blrdle (Mrs. Audaln); Kuthleen (Mrs. Seldon Humphreys); Marlon (Mrs. Stevenson), Dola, Eleanor and Muriel, all living in Victoria. Lieut. James Dunsmuir, another son, lost his life in the sinking of the Lnsl- tanla. James Dunsmuir was born at Fort Vancouver, Wash., July 8, 1861, the 3on of Robert Dunsmuir, one ot the earliest pioneers of British Columbia. The elder Dunsmuir was the son of n Scottish eoalmaster and was born in Ayrshire. Educated at Kilmarnock Academy he married when a young man and sailed for the Pacific under the auspices of the Hudson's Bay Company to open up the coal lands in the Fort Rupert district. This project nol being entirely successful he returned, In 1854, to the Nanaimo district to assist in the development of the mines that afterwards became the holdings of the Vancouver Coal Company. But Dunsmuir senior did not long remain In the employ of others for, in the course of his prospecting, he discovered what was afterwards the famous Wellington coal mines. At first Admiral Farquhar /ind other British naval officers stationed on the coast were Interested with him in the mines, but later he bought them out. The value of this property may be realized when it Is known that the last partner ln the Wellington, Lieut. Diggfe. received three quarters of a million dollars for his interest. In those days the great market for Vancouver Island coal, outside the British Pacific fleet, was California, where gold had been discovered a few years previously and which had no deposits of Its own worth mentioning. The Dunsmuir interests entered the field there in a large way and had their own steamships as well as wharves and handling facilities at the California port. James Dunsmuir was therefore born to great opportunity, of which he took the fullest advantage. He was educated at Nanaimo and at Hamilton College, a military institute at Blackburg, Va. There he met the lady who afterwards became his wife, Laura, daughter of W. B. Swales. They were roar ed al Fayetteville, Nortli Carolina, In REPENTANCE 1876. When his education had been completed Mr. Dunsmuir at once plunged into the management of his father's properties. The elder Dunsmuir was by this time In politics and a member of the provincial cabinet, and as the years passed the control of the business passed more and more into the hands of James, so that ultimately he became the directing head of all the vast Dunsmuir Interests, which included besides the coal mines, the Esquimalt and Nanaimo railway, now part of the Canadian Pacific system, which hla father had promoted, built and controlled; numerous logging camps, tow- boats, steamship!!, land and colonization companies, etc. Mr. Dunsmuir had a brief but Interesting political career. Entering public life when the affairs of the Dunsmuir compnnles bad reached such a state of organization that be could spare the time, he was elected for Yule, and sat In the Legislature from 1898 to 191)2. At a critical period In Ihe affairs of the province he was asked by the lieutenant-governor to form a government In succession to Hon. Joseph Martin, who bad been unable to command Ihe support of a majority in the house. This he did and held the premiership for two years. In 1900 Air. Dunsmuir was appointed lieutenant-governor of British Columbia In succession to Sir Henry Joly de Lotblnlere, but resigned in lW'fl, before his term was expired. Other phases of tiie former premier's career are indtsaolubly linked with the progress and development of British Columbia. He built the traffic bridge across the Fraser at New Westminster nnd negotiated the transacioln which ended in tlie Canadian Pacific acquiring the- Esquimalt and Nanaimo railway with Us 1,600,000 acres of land ln 1905, and was afterwards elected a member of the board of directors of that company. He had tromendou: private land holdings on the Island and also on the Mainland, which have been estimated at from twenty to forty thousand acres. The Dunsmuir collieries at Wellington, Comox and Alexandria were sold in 1910 to Mackenzie and Mann for a consideration reported at the time to be in the neighborhood of ten million dollars. Mr. and Mrs. Dunsmuir entertained the present King and Queen at Victoria in 1901, on their famous tour of the Empire as Duke aud Duchess of York. They were also at the coronation of King Edward ln 1902, and were presented to Their Majesties at Windsor Castle in 1908. Mr. Dunsmuir was a. generous benefactor of all public and private movements for the public good. He contributed largely to the endowment o: the B. C. College of McGIll Universltj and also to the Vancouver Sanitarium for Tuberculosis. In religion he was a Presbyterian. Thus said the God of Mercy To the God of Battles, "Cease Your hammering and your clamoring; I would have my world at peace. "Dismiss me now your cohorts, Your lighting men restrain. And turn their hot endeavor To the ways of peace again. "Where cities old have perished New cities shall arise; My people once more hearken To the counsel of the wJse. "I will not hold them guiltless Who called fhee to their aid; In sorrow they shall answer For the sprrow they have made. •They shall come up for judgment And theirs shall be the loss, Who heeded not the teaching of My Son upon the Cross. "For oaths they swore In mockery. For blood and pain and--worse. I will demand their utmost ln sorrow und remorse. "By all the graves In Flanders, By other graves unknown, They shall reap the grim red harvest Ot the terror they have sown." Then spake the Son of Mary: "O Father, now I plead, Forgive Thy contrite children In this their hour of need. "Hot blows they struck In anger, Wild oaths they swore In vnln; Father, they are but children, Wlio turn to Thee again. "By paths I travelled wearily, By blows and pain More, By death 1 suffered for their sake, Forgive Thou them once more." Then spake the (lod Jehovah: My Son, 1 will forgive Tlie sins of these, My children, That once again they live. "But some are unrepentant, Hot heads ami hearts aflame, Who turn deaf ears lowards pie, And glory In their shame, "My wrath shall fall upon them, Who do My mercy spurn; The death they dealt to others, each Shall suffer In his turn. "do thou, whose hearts are contrite For the evil thou hast done, Be merciful and I will grant The mercy of My Son."

Gardening for City School Children Practical Instruction Successfully Carried On By Many Public Schools in Canada Gardening is systematically carried out by the public schools of many Canadian cities as a part of the educational course. Dr. J. H. Putnam, senior Inspector for Ottawa public schools, in the March number of the Agricultural Gazette, published by the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa, describes the system under which this work la done In the capital city. Practical Teaching Best The school garden Is referred to as a big class room for outdoor Instruction In plants and plant life. It has many of the possibilities In miniature nf an experimental farm. It has to do with the composition and fertility of soils, with drainage, with seed germination and Willi Insect enemies of plant life. It shows In a way that cannot be questioned the effect upon plants of too much or tuo little sunshine or moisture nnd the bad effects of weeds and the necessity of giving a plant plenty of room If we wish to secure a high state of development. Dr. Putnam points out tbat these things would mean nothing to city children If recited from books or told by teachers. These things taught through a garden where (he children prepare the soil, sow the seeds, and care for the plants cannot be without good results. , 10(H) Pupils Receive Instruction. •In addition to a central garden of one acre the Ottawa plan involves the organization of home garden clubs, each representing a school. In the three years 1917-18-19 about 1,000 pupils from second and third book classes received1 gardening instruction. The school board paid forty dollars to each teacher who managed a club garden. Every pupil member was required to keep an accurate record o/ planting, cultivating and other activities. Tlle aim Is to grow everything possible from seed. Cold frames nre round to be a valuable addition to the equipment.

Cumberland and most of the towns on the Island, according to reports, have wonderful dogs, especially in sporting breeds, and I expect to see some good trials for field dogs as well as bench shows take place this year or next, in various parts of our beautiful country. There is needed lots of patience lo train growing puppies properly uml without losing temper. Tim first thing to do is to traip tlie dog to retrieve an old glove to your bidding. After each time thai he does it properly, pat him and speak kindly to him. .He wlll soon learn to understand what is needed of him. Let no one else interfere or speak to him. Of course the dog should have been taught to go out on the lead and to come when called. Take him for a little walk and then learn him to go home when ordered, to his own disappointment, Take a roll of newspaper and tap him on the nose when walking if he tries to get ahead. Keep him to heel, speak quietly; don't shout or try and make a coward of him. Learn him to slop when walking with the Word "Toe." Repeat it till the dog connects the word by what Is expected of bin- Do this for two or three days, then if ho fails to obey, tie a long piece of cord to his collar and check blm the same time as you shout "Toe." Always pel him with kind words when he obeys your orders. So many spoil dogs In- continued commands. Then next, learn the dog the word "Down." IMaeo hands on shoulder and push him down. If he offers to get up. repeat the word ami push him down again. Then learn blm to get used to the noise of tlie gun. One can he flrm without being cruel. He must be taught to persevere al all limes, tor birds are often hard to And, especially dead ones. Then In the Held learn him to range. 1 lind an older dog if coupled lo young dog which has had a lesson or two is tlie best teacher possible anil will learn him to point quicker than anything else. SEVENTEENTH CENTURY TRIBUTE TO THE DOG Button, the Great French Naturalist, Was Great Authority On Life of the Dog The Irish Setter ThtB breed hns wonderful courage and stamina and I have heard Old Country breeders say thai it was impossible to lind a coward among them. The color, blood red, is a favorite wherever seen. If owners would only brush their dogs more it would improve their coats wonderfully. Red and white used to be a familiar color of coat years ago. The majority of this breed as puppieB are very wild and lack the brains of the English Setter, but if a breeder has a good brainy dog or bitch he can depend upon getting intelligent utility pups. I like to see Irish Setters with plenty of substance, as if poor in body they appear high on leg and shell framed, which gives the dog a very poor appearance. Many of the Irish Setters of thirty years ago threw back to a blood red with a tinge of black, which was objectionable. Rev. La Trounce, a relation of La Trounce of Harristown, in Ireland, bred these dogs for over 50 years. I knew the reverend gentleman and his daughters when I was a boy and loved to talk on dogs. Around the year 1882 the Irish Setter was introduced iu American Held trials. DOGS BORN DURING PROHIBITED PERIOD CAN BE REGISTERED SEVEN HOUSES TO SELECT FROM at prices from |550 to $1200. T. E.

U ' _£.-"». - - Many fanciers have sought Information lately regarding tlle importing and registration of "Illegitimates." most of the inquirers being of the opinion that dogs born during the prohibited period (September, 1917, to January 24, 1919) could not be registered. Here are the details; save them for future guidance: On September 7, 1917, the kennel club (English), in consequence of communications from the British Government, were obliged to pass a resolution that from the date of the resolution they would not register any dogs.born after September 7, 1917. On November 20, 1918—after tlie signing of the armistice— it was decided that on and after November 22, 1918, breeding operations might he resumed, and that puppies born on or after January 24, 1919, would be eligible for registration. On February 5, 1919, the committee of the kennel club (English) carefully considered the question of registration ot dogs which had not been born under the license of the kennel club, and decided that they be registered, aud referred the matter to the annual general meeting, held on February 20, 1919. At that meeting the decision of the committee was upheld, and It was further decided: "That dogs born between September 7, 1917, and January 24, 1919, should be allowed to bo exhibited not for competition only. The registering of tho dogs In ques- tion Is made in the regular way, ami on the regular forms, tho difference being that the words, "This dog if exhibited in Great Britain or Ireland must be shown as 'Not for competition only,' are stamped across tho face of the certificate of registration, Therefore the only privilege now denied the "Illegitimate" is that he cannot be shown in Great Britain or Ireland for competition. But he can be registered. ■ The many beautiful dogs on the Island—from Cumberland to Victoria would make a splendid dog show in itself. The Nanaimo Kennel Club should advertise Its coming show well lu advance, not only In Vancouver and Victoria, but also on the prairies ami in Washington cities, so that exhibitors will have ample time in which to prepare their dogs. COCKER SPANIELS NEED LESS CARE EXCEPT TO EARS There is no Ijrced that can stand neglect better than a Cocker Spaniel, aside from his ears. Like other long- eareii hreeds he is subject to canker if his ears are not kept clean inside and out. His ears should he cleaned at least once a week. For internal treatment, one needs the following: Absorbent cotton, some dean wooden pins (the kind the butcher pins our roast together with) a bottle of Nujol and some boracic. Call the dog to you, have him jump upon a bench or chair, pet him and assure him no harm. Home dogs, like children, are not fond of having their ears cleaned. Look into the ear; you will probably see some wax or brown discharge, accumulation of dirt and oil from tlie hair. Pull off a small piece of cotton, roll around the pointed em|of the wooden pin, dip this into the Nujol, enter it gently into thc ear as fas as you can go and turn the pin slowly and pull out, getting all the discharge you can with this piece of cotton. Some dogs have real dirty ears, while others are nearly always clean. Pull off the soiled piece of cotton from the pin, and roll a clean dry piece around the same end of the pin. Dust .With Boracic. Insert this cleau piece and wipe out all the remaining Nujol and dirt left. If the ear is now clean, dust a little boracic iu the cavity, holding up the end of tiie ear to be sure the powder goes way in. If the ear ia still dirty after inserting the dry piece of cotton, it may be necessary to use another piece with another dip of Nujol. Anyhow, get the ear clean; do the same with ear number two. If this treatment is followed up, once a week, you will have no cankered ears. A little piece of cotton rolled over the forefinger and dipped in Nujol will clean tho lining of the ear, the part where there is no hair. This becomes real dirty in most dogs. On Feeding* A quick way to feed a number of dogs that have long ears is in bowls with rather small tops so the ears hang on the outside; or the way we do, we break all the pups lo have, or allow us to hold the two ears over their head in one hand; that is, bring tte outside of the ears together over the top of the head. An eastern owner claims to he able to feed two dogs in one apartment at same time. He can go in and set two pans of food down on the tloor and neither dog will put his muzzle into thc food until he has the ears over his head in his hand. "As the twig Is bent the tree is inclined." If a Cocker's ears are kepi out of the food they will grow much Ion go r aud heavier than if the hair is all matted up witli food. It Is better to keep the long hair trimmed, even the leather, than to have it all food. Some kennel owners do this where a large number are kopt only for breeding and not showing. Mrs. J. A. Hawley.

Ilusiness being very good at the .Marlborough kennels. Dr. Glendon T. Moody has placed ;m order with one of England's bulldog experts for a brace of the very best that can be secured. Future classes of this breed should be lip-top in this section of Canada. Don't ask tiie owner of a good shnl dog—n man who likely haa spent lib orally of his Umo and money bringing his dog Into ..prominence -to give you a stud service for a puppy out ot your obscure bitch. He probably lias given away more puppies than you will ever raise. A contributor to a contemporary in an article ou "Dog Training as a Hobby," quotes Buffon, the great French naturalist of thc seventeenth century, who was a great authority on the dog. It is as follows: The dog's only ambition seems the leslre to please; he is seen to gome crouching along to lay his force, his courage, and all. his useful talents at the feet of. his muster; he waits his orders, to ..which he pays Implicit obedience; he consults his looks, and a single glance is sufficient to put him ■In motion; he is more faithful even lltiin die most boasted among men. He is constant in bis affections, friendly without interest and grateful for the slightest favors; much more mindful of benefits received than injurie i offer ed; he is not driven off by unktnduess; he still continues humble, submissive and imploring; his only hope is to lie serviceable, his only terror to displease; he licks the hand that has just been lifted to strike him, and at lasl disarms resentment by submissive perseverance. More docile than man, more obedient than any oilier animal, ho is not only instructed in a short time, but he also conforms to the manners and dispositions of tiiose who command him. lie takes bis tone from the house he inhabits; like the rest of tlie domestics he is disdainful among the great and churlish among clowns. Always assiduous in serving .his master, and only a friend to his friends, he is indifferent to all the rest, aud declares himself openly against such as seem to be dependent, like himself. He knows a beggar by his clothes, by his voice, or by his gestures, and forbids his approach. When at night tiie guard of tlie house is committed to his care lie seems proud of thc charge; he continues a watchful sentinel, he goes his rounds, scents strangers at a distance, and gives them warning of his being on duty. If they attempt to break in upon his territories he becomes more fierce, flies at them, threatens, lights, and either conquers alone or alarms those who have most interest in coming to his assistance; however, when he has conquered, he quietly reposes upon the spoil, and abstains from what he has deterred others from abusing, giving thus at once a lesson of courage, temperance and fidelity. Vivian Darkle, pomerian, now 11 years of age and father of many of the best Poms living, is a perfect specimen. He won his championship on the bench and has proved to be the best sire in Canada. This little black is as active aud cheeky ns many a younger dog, although he is being tinged with patches of grey witli the passing of years. Mrs. Colbeck, of Vancouver, t.l owner of this little dog. High-Priced Hero Worth the Money Babe Ruth Great Drawing (aid For New York Yankeeis —Good Investment - NEW YORK.—Pabe Kuth has made n fair start toward" reimbursing tlu' .Vow York Yankees for the tremendous Investment that brought him to the Polo Grounds, and if he continues to sjflp out homers, may Refund the whole price before the season is ovor. Por the second time the Yanks smashed all attendance records for tiie I'olo Grounds one day last week, when 88,686 came out.

Kuth is expected to be a great attraction when the Vaults take the roa and also to the Vancouver Sanitarium for Tuberculosis. In religion he was a Presbyterian. REPENTANCE Thus said the God of Mercy To the Cod of Battles, "Cease Your hammering and your clamoring; I would have my world at peace. "Dismiss me now your cohorts, Your lighting men restrain, And turn their hot endeavor To the ways of peace again. "Where cities old have perished New cities shall arise; My people once more hearken To the counsel of the wise. "I will not hold them guiltless Who called thee to their aid; In sorrow they shall answer For the sorrow they have made. "They shall come up for judgment And theirs shall be the loss, Who heeded not the teaching of My Son upon tbe Cross. "Fur oaths they swore In mockery. For blood and pain and--worse. 1 will demand their utmost ln Borrow und remorse. "By all the graves in Flanders, By other graves unknown, They shall reap the grim red harvest Of the terror they have sown." Then spake the Son of Mary: "O Father, now I plead. Forgive Thy contrite children In this their hour of need. "Hot blows they struck In anger, Wild oaths they swore In vain; Father, (hey are but children, Who turn to Thee ngnln. "By paths I travelled wearily, By blows and pain More, By cleuih 1 Buffered for their sake, Forgive Thou (hem once more." Then spake the God Jehovah; "My Son, 1 will forgive The sins of these, My children, 'Unit once again thoy live. "But some ate unrepentant, Hot heuils and hearts ailume. Who turn deaf ears towards pie, And glory In their shame. "My wrath shall fall upon them, Who do My mercy spurn; The death they dealt to others, each Shall suiter In Ills turn. "Go thou, whose hearts are contrite For the evil thou hast done, Be merciful and I will grant The mercy of My Son."

Investigation of copper deposits In the Jordan River district, where the company ls already interested in the Suulock mine, will be made within a short time by experts of the Consolidated Mining, Smelting and Power Company, of Trail, the big concern which operates the Trail smelter and Is heavily Interested ln the interior section lu mining development. Recently it was announced that the company had secured options on the Sunlock properties, mining propositions which have been making a most satisfactory showing. It has secured the Old Sport group of copper claims on Quatslno Sound, and Is looking to extend its mining operations elsewhere on Vancouver Island. The interest being shown by the Consolidated In this Island leuds color to the report that it is the intention of the company to ultimately erect a smelter on Vancouver Island to treat ores which it will secure from this section, thus eliminating the long haul to Trail. The coke supply for such a plant is assured on the Island, where the existing coal producing concerns are In a position to produce all that would be require'd. "Do you think it right to profilt by the mistakes of others?" the stranger, who yet seemed vaguely familiar, asked earnestly. "Why, no, certainly not!" responded the minister.

"What is a gardener?" "A gardener is a man who raises a few things, my boy." "And what Is n farmer?" "A man who raises a lot of things." "Well, what is a middleman. Pop?" "Why, he's' a fellow who raises everything." Gardening is systematically carried out by the public schools of many Canadian cities as a part of the educational course. Dr. J. H. Putnam, senior Inspector for Ottawa publlc schools, in the March number of the Agricultural Gazette, published by the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa, describes the system under which this work ls done in the capital city. 1'rnrticnl Teaching Beat. The school garden is referred to aa a big class room for outdoor instruction In plants and plant life. It has many of the possibilities in miniature of nn experimental farm. It has to do with the composition and fertility of soils, Willi drainage, with seed germination nnd with Insect enemies of plant life. It shows In a way that cannot be questioned the effect upon plants ot too much or too little sunshine or moisture and the bad effects of weeds and the necessity of giving a plant plenty of room If we wish to secure a high state of development. Dr. Putnam points out that these things would mean nothing to city children If recited from books or told by teachers. These tilings taught through a garden where the children prepare the soil, sow the seeds, and care for the plants cannot be without good results. , 1000 Pupils Receive Instruction. In addition to a central garden of one acre the Ottawa plan Involves the organization of home garden clubs, eacli represent Ing a school. In the three years 1917-1S-19 about 1,000 pupils from second and third book classes received* gardening Instruction. Tlie school board paid forty dollars to eacii teacher who managed a club garden. Every pupil member wus required to keep an accurate record o/ planting, cultivating and( other activities. Tlle aim is to grow everything possible from seed. Cold frames are found to be a valuable addition to the equipment.

On February 5, 1919, the committee of the kennel club (English) carefully considered the question of registration of dogs which had not been born under the license of the kennel club, und decided that they be registered, and referred the matter to thc annual general meeting, held on February 20, 1919. At that meeting the decision of the committee was upheld, and it was further decided: "That dogs horn between September 7, 1917, and January 24, 1919, should be allowed to be exhibited not for competition only. The registering of the dogs in question Is made in the regular way, and on the regular forms, tho difference being that the words, "This dog It exhibited ln Great Britain or Ireland must be shown as 'Not for competition only,' are stamped across thc face of the certificate ot registration. Therefore the only privilege now denied the "Illegitimate" Is that he cannot be shown In Great Britain or Ireland for competition. But he can be registered. • COCKER SPANIELS NEED LESS CAKE EXCEPT TO EARS WANTED WANTED—Will purchase Toy Chinese or Japanese Dogs: Chows, Pekinese, etc. Must be young dogs. No fancy prices. J. V.

GOWEX Editor. SATURDAY, JUNE 13, 1920. DEATH OK HON. JAMES DUNSMUIR In the death of Hon. James Dunsmuir, which, occurred at Cowichan Lake on Sunday morning last, British Columbia has lost a pioneei: citizen whose varied interests and activities have filled a large part in its life and been an important factor in its development. As lieutenant-governor, premier •anil private member of the Provincial Legislature, as well as the moving spirit in many industrial concerns, and as a philanthropic supporter of many public institutions, Mr. Dunsmuir gained the respect and esteem of large numbers of his fellow citizens. The name of the Dunsmuir family will always be associated with the development of the coal resources of this province. While gold and other metals may have dune more to make the province famous in distant lands, coal has been the most important of our mineral products, not only in commercial value but in its service to industrial and commercial interests and to the comfort and convenience of the people. Two generations of the family employed their energies and business ability in the development of these resources. Ml*. James Dunsmuir inherited the qualities which made Robert Dunsmuir the leading business man of the colony and province. He, too, applied his capital and energy to the promotion of many enterprises of vital interest to Vancouver Island and the country, He did not seek or enjoy public ofiice, but when called to leadership in a time of stress he accepted responsibility and gave the province valuable and honorable service. Mr. Dunsmuir's business ability and high character were recognized in the business world by many responsible positions which he held. He showed in many respects his kindly and generous spirit, and preserved in all circumstances and positions the genial and simple manners of his Scottish ancestors. ent instance the government's responsibility is all the more reprehensible inasmuch as it took advantage of the ills of the community to make a 50 per cent, profit on the medicine it sold.—Colonist. THE HIGH COST OF SHAVES The barbers throughout the continent having caught the high cost of shaving and hair cutting epidemic, are out after all the loose change in sight. Fifty-cent shaves and dollar hair cuts are unknown. We would advise these barber gentlemen to tread softly, else there will be a whole lot more people get the habit of shaving themselves says the Toronto Saturday night. Not a difficult matter in these days of good safety razors. And once a man has acquired the habit of taking ten minutes off in the morning, safety razor in hand, he is not likely to revert back to the tedious, time- wasting process of a daily visit to a barber. As for hair cuts one might adopt the Psyche knot, or cultivate a queue, Chinese old style. Buffalo Bill was a stunning looking man and never had a hair cut in his life. Let the barbers beware how they tread further upon the sensibilities of their cus tomers' pocket books. Taking advantage of the slight pause in the general noise, the Houston Post rises to remark that, with its splendid onion crop, Texas is the Lord's best gift to America; and it adds: "And Texas produces more than any state, better stuff than any state, and can lick any state." For a prohibition territory that's going some. ' When fishing off the south of the Island at Makanduchi recently, a man, by name Hatibu bin Ali, picked up a bottle containing a message to Mr. R. N. Manson, 73 Ellesmere Street, South Shields Durham, England. The letter merely reported all well on board the steamship War Aconite at 2:30 p.m. on March 27,1919, the bottle being thrown in the sea when the, ship was 940 miles from Fre- mantle, Australia, bound for Colombo. The bottle, which had been nearly a year on its journey to Zanzibar, had travelled some 4,000 miles, or an average of 11.8 miles per day.—Zanzibar Gazette. CLEAN UP! The Health Department of the City Council is anxious that all ashes and other refuse in the city be cleared away before the hot weather arrives. There are said to be some places in Cumberland which closely approach an unsanitary condition. If this is so those responsible should at once put their place in order, for unsanitary spots are a good breeding ground for diseases, in fact most epidemics have their origin in some such place. The local authorities intend to take action in the near future towards insisting that unsanitary and unsightly conditions be abolished. Citizens will avoid trouble by attending to these matter soon. It is important that this work be attended to for many reasons. First, there is the question of health to be considered. The accumulation of dirt, filth and waste material of various kinds develop from such accumulations, but flies, the greatest of all carriers of disease, find their chief breeding places in filth and rubbish. A general spring clean-up is one of the best health measures that can be taken in any home or community. A general clean-up is important also from the standpoint of fire protection. Many people who exercise care in regard to the accumulation of filth and rubbish which might have an adverse effect on health, and as the breeding place of insects and germs of many kinds, neglect to collect and remove other kinds of rubbish which, all too frequently, result in serious conflagrations with consequent loss of valuable property and even more valuable lives. "Clean-up" days or weeks have become established institutions in the cities and larger towns, and the municipal authorities co-operate wtfh the individual citizen in city-wide and town-wide house-cleaning. The public health is thereby promoted, a larger measure of security from fire is provided, and the whole community made much ne-jter and attractive, leading inevitably to greater civic pride and to the carrying out (tf other improvements, such as painting, laying out lawns and gardens, and general home and civic betterment. Are sermons indispensable? This is one of the questions which a decision may be taken by the bishops of the Anglican Church at their- Lambeth meeting in July. A section of churchrten are declared to hold that if a man has not the gift of preaching, it would be better for everyone that he should not preach. The "two sermons each Sunday" custom, they say, imposes a great strain on the clergy—a strain equally if not more heavily felt by the laity. DEEP FAITH IN MEN . I like a man who has deep faith in men. Who has abiding trust in each and all, Who doubts not one, nor hesitates to call The least and lowliest his brother. Ten, Yea, and a hundred, times he pardons, when Forgetful of their higher selves they fall." —Frederick Oakes Silvester. LOWER PRICES COMING Sun and New York Herald. The lower loans and deposits do herald an inevitable readjustment of labor and other productive costs. Lower prices are coming. They can come through gradual deflation without shock to the country or real hardship to individuals. In a money market staggering tinder a mountain weight of loans deflation paves the way for a return to conditions where it is possible to earn a wage on a reasonable basis and make it pay, to do business on a reasonable basis and make it pay, to eat, drink and live on a reasonable basis and make both ertds meet. The worst thing that could happen to the country would be to go on jacking up costs and prices until all industry and all business should become frozen stiff. And the best thing that can happen to fhe country will be for the gradual resumption of normal costs and normal prices to make it possible for industries to do business on a paying basis and for individuals to meet their costs of living on the basis of a dollar that is worth 100 cents when you get it or when you spend it. GOVERNMENTAL PROFITEERING The Provincial government during the last fiscal year made a profit of $733,000 through the sale of alcoholic liquors in the dispensaries it controls throughout British Columbia. The total sales of liquor through this source approximated $1,500,- 000 in value. The operating expenses probably came to less than 350,000. Thus tho government made a profit of approximately 50 per cent, on its sales, and it should be noted that such sales were mainly for medicinal purposes, so that the ills of the people of the province were lined to this exr tcnt. The governnient practised profiteering and to an excessive degree, aifd any government which does this must expect to be regarded as insincere when it condemns a similar practice when applied by others. It is somewhat amusing to read on the same day as the government publishes its "prohibition profits" of an attempt to be made by the Minister of Agriculture to check profiteering in potatoes. There will be every commendation for what Mr. Barrow is attempting to do, but it is a case of "physician heal thyself." i The government was morally wrong in charging exorbitant prices for medicinal prescriptions. This was one feature of prohibition iij which the Legislature should have intervened and decided what profit, if any, could be made. The Attorney-General, no doubt, congratulates himself on his astuteness in having mulcted people of thc Province through the sale of liquor, but in doing so he was putting his stamp of approval on a practice which he has, before now, PROFESSIONAL ETHICS The Providence Journal. Could there be a more vivid example of professional honor than that of the French doctor who continued on his way to the bedside of a seriously --... sick patient after he had been overtaken with the condemned in others. A government which pro- news that his son had met with a most distressing fiteers is every whit as guilty, in a moral sense, as laccident. The pathos of the incident is heightened a private individual or company which engages in.by the fact that the father learned on his return that method of accumulating wealth. In the pres- |tjiat the boy had died in his absence. WHY GASOLINE GOES UP Christian Science Monitor. The decision just reached by the Standard Oil Company of New York to advance the wholesale price of gasoline from 28 Vi cents to 39 cents a gallon deserves a wide prominence. The advance makes an increase of 22 per cent, since the beginning of the year. The net earnings of the company were $57.52 a share last year, as against, •538.19 a share the year before; whilst the company's surplus in 1919 was $31,165,109, as against $19,642,387 in 1918. "The company," says one account of the matter, "gave no reasons for the increase." But then such information would surely have been entirely superfluous. There can be only one reason for such an advance. It is summed up in the words, "We can get it." THEN AND NOW The Ottawa Journal. Do you really want the "good old days" when there were no Pullmans, fast trains, anaesthetics, telephones, bicycles, automobiles, moving pictures, self bintlers, hay loaders, cream separators, phonographs, cold storage, plate glass, gas cooking ranges, incandescent lights, aeroplanes, elevators, fast ocean liners, X-ray photography, typewriters, adding machines, cash registers, asphalt, micros-, copes, telescopes, linotypes, high speed presses and automatic machines in every branch of endeavor?

Would you like tn see something tbat will make you forget your daily worries and your business cares? Then go to the llo-Ilo toinght ami see George Walsh, the William Pox athletic thunderbolt, in his new photoplay, "Brave ami fluid." The story has a mile-a-mi nut*' action in ii ami a laugh and a thrill almost every second, it ia woll lilteil to Walsh's steam-engine way;, i.t Is adapted from "Four-Forty ai Fort Penn," by Parley Poore Sbeehan. It forces George to Lrqvel mighty fast but ho tlnishcs strong, He captures a billion dollar war or der from a foreign priiicy'who has made an appointment for "Four-Forty nt Fort Penn," with George. George's rival tries his best to keep George from the meeting and it is the obstacles that George overcomes that makes for actions and thrills. Why he even carries tlie prince from the hotel just before the dynamite shatters the building, and tie lias troubles of his own keeping his sweetheart from the power of his rival. It is what might be called in sonw localities "A Humdinger." .Made Name in Baseball. George Walsh's, the star of "Uohi and Brave," started his professional career at second base tor tlie Brooklyn baseball team. I linens compelled him to give up a career on the diamond, j but he always remembered Mike Don-] lin of the Giants, who gave him the first opportunity to make a really sensational play when he was in baseball. It was on a summer afternoon at Ebbett's field ami Walsh was playing second base. The Giants were up and Donlin hit out a liner that was going with the velocity of a French 75. Walsh made a remarkable one-handed stop aud his play saved tlie day for Brooklyn. Now that Walsh is a star of the first magnitude in the moving picture business, he has Donlin iu his company and the famous .Mike is demonstrating that he can make good in other lines, than baseball. "Brave and Bold" is as full of action as a cat with all four feet on flypaper, and will be shown at the 1,1o-IIo this evening only. Instead of going through tedious and expensive lawsuits to set right the swindle, Johnny determines- that the good old Western way Is the shortest, cheapest and most convenient method of saving Adele's fortune. He finds Brysou smoking by the edge of the lake on the Long Island estate, ami confronts him with the telegram. Hryson sneers and defies Johnny to prove thnt It is a forgery. Johnny says: "Come through with that-stock." Bryson says: "Try and get It." "Sure,1 says Johnny, and throws him into the lake. Johnny then gets hold of an oar aud each time tbe promoter tries limb out the cowpuncher gives him another ducking. "I can't swim." splutters Bryson. "Neither can I," chortles Johnny. He rolls a cigarette and, Keeps sousing Bryson in the water until the promoter Is thoroughly exhausted. Then he pulls him Jo the edge, hands him a paper and fountain pen ami says: "Write what I tell you." Hryson refuses, whereupon Johnny gives him a final and thorough ducking. Eventually the promoter signs a complete confession. Then Johnny hauls him out, takes him by the nape of the neck and the seat of the pants ami walks him into the drawing room. You can well imagine how delighted the host and hostess and the other guests nre. Johnny runs Bryson . through the house and out to his motor car, throws him into the car and says to the chauffeur; "Tomorrow is Friday, here is a fish." And that is the last of Brysou. * * * MUSIC FOR AMATEURS Considered from one point of view, music exists for the amateurs, for men and women who love it, and find in it inspiration and comfort in daily life, or solace In affliction. From the practical point of view, to despise him is to commit the folly of quarrelling with one's oread and butter. By the lover of music Is meant, of course, not the person who prefers a royalty ballad THE MONTH OF KOSES Of .all the. mouths uLtho year, June Is noted as tlie time of roses, aud to fit the season many famous singers have given timely selections for the benefit of Edison phonograph owners. The Now June Edison Disc Supplement has a song on its list, "Love's Garden of Roses." rendered by Cyreua Van Gordon, whose rich contralto voice is rapidly winning a vaal audience? Another "rose number" is by Leolo Lucey. a favorite soprana. Her song is called "Hoses of .Memory," aud is a musical treat. Then there is Carolina Lagzari, the Metropolitan Opera star, who gives "When the Koses Bloom," a lovely classic of the simple, appealing variety. She is also listed to sing "Mighty Lak' a l*se," that ever popular Xovin song; anil "Gallic," the happy, whimsical melody by John Mokrejs. Vernon Archibald anil Lewis James are down on the list lor "Leaf by Leaf the Roses Fall," a baritone-tenor duct tbat ought to attract lovers of melody. To complete the "musical roses," the All Star Trio renders "Just Like a Rose," a fox trot in which the saxophone, xylophone and piano vie with one another,to make you dance. * a * "OH JOHNNY!" MONDAY. "Oh Johnny!" in which Louis Beu- nison makes his screen debut and which will be seen here at the Ilo-llo on Monday evening, might also be called "Tiie Adventures of a Cow- puncher in a l.ong bland Country House." It is essonttally a comedy and not to be confounded with thc Western melodrama type of entertainment. One of the.humorous and unusual episodes occurs when Johnny Burke undertakes to get back the shares of stock in the Lost ('.imp mine that his little ward has been swindled out of by John Bryson, a stork promoter. Bryson has obtained possession of the shares, with the connivance of Adele's snobbish and impoverished relatives by dint of forging a telegram from Johnny Burke himself to Adelc which purported to state that the mine had petered out and that she hud better sell. Johnny recognizes in Bryson the dishonest promoter who had attempted while on a trip out West to get possession of tho mine. The breezy Westerner asks Adele what Bryson is doing at her party. Adele answers: "Why, he is the .man who bought my stock at the time you wired me." Johnny la nonplussed and says: "What wire?" Adele shows him the forged, telegram. | to the B Minor .Mass, but the person of culture with a refiined taste. With regard to the other class, It would be better to try to Improve his taste than to cast him forth Into the outer darkness without more ado. From the higher point of view the contempt of the amateur ls a deplorable exhibition of intellectual arrog- nnce. Let some of the straiter sects of musicians ask themselves whether the opinion of the amateur is, save on purely technical" things, always necessarily worthless. * * * "FIGHTING CRESSY" WED>ESPA1' A Brete Hai'le Tale of Feudal Romance of the West "Fighting Cressy," Blanche Sweet's newest Jesse D. Hampton-Pathe production, which comes to the Ilo-llo on Wednesday next, is an adaptation of Ilret Harte's virile story, "Cressy." It is a tale of the pioneer days of the West where men and women lived according to their own code of morals.

In promoting this mutual aim they wlll promote In the most effective manner their Individual elms and their personal prosperity and satlsfacion. The dealer represents music on the material side, and propagation side, while the musician represents the finished product, and the means of public entertainment. Public Interest in music is the llfeblood of all three. Without public Interest, also, there would not be public support, the prerequisite for high artistic development. Greater interest in music ln general leads to more numerous calls lor the services of tbe musician.

PAULINE FREDERICK — IN — "THE LOVES OF LETTY" Till HSIUY AMI FRIDAY One of t|*f greatest of all motion- picture stars, Pauline Frederick, appears at the Ilo-llo Theatre next Thursday and Friday In the picture which has been such a tremendous success, "The Loves of Letty," a Goldwyn production, written by Sir Arthur Wing Plneo and directed by Frank Lloyd. It ls a crowded hour of real life, a story of men and women met every day. Are there any clrcumstancos under which a woman is Justified In marrying a mah she does not love? To Letty. Fate has denied the luxuries and fineries that every woman craves. Then came a proposal from a rich man, a loathesome barbarian, and with It a promise to surround her with everything money could buy. She loved another man, a penniless young artist. Hut tho long grim struggle against poverty had fanned her love for luxury and good times into an all consuming flame and she chose the rich man. What followed was a revelation to Letty as It will be to you when you sec the screen's most brilliant emotional actress iu "Tlie Loves of Letty." There nre some motion pictures so strongly typed as to appeal only to certain and limited classes of audiences. The same is true of many stars. The true stamp of a well-rounded picture Is Its ability to exert a universal appeal an appeal that brings response from people of all ages, tastes and fancies. Such a picture is Paulino Frederick's "The Loves of Letty." Well rounded In every detail, logically constructed, rich In variety of settings, and telling a human story, "Tlie Loves of Letty" is the kind of picture that present-day audiences find to their liking. . . . THE CELLO Thirty years ago cello playing was not Included among thc accomplishments supposed to he siiitahlo for cultivated youfig women. Today the girl cellist is everywhere accepted In the world of music. The change is owing partly to the Increasing popularity of the cello and partly to the recent growth lu ensemble playing. That the cello is essential to thc orchestra Is proved hy its history. The tendency of the violins to "outcry" the rest of thc instruments In ensemble playing was a source of trouble to the early composers. The use of the basses to prevent It proved unsatisfactory. So. in the seventeenth century the Italian instrument makers, using as guides both thc violin and the viola de ganilia-an old form of the violin cello- gradually perfected the form of the viollnccllo. » Stradivarliis of Cremona, the famous maker of violins, established a standard for size, and the cello was made with a compass of the range of the speaking voice, which, in orehes- trui playing, was found greatly to enhance thi' musical quality and power of the violin. It remained, however, for I lay rin and Mozart to bring the cello into prominence through their compositions. Prom a position of subordination in the orchestra tho raised it to an essential aud conspicuous place. Beethoven, too, not only in his orchestral work, but also in his trios nd quartettes, greatly emphasized tbo Importance of tbe cello. If the growth of orchestral playing iad been less rapid, and if orchestras had not suddenly found themselves iu need of more cellists, the girl cel- Ists might not!* perhaps, have the opportunities (hat she has today. IiiBtrumcnt makers have adapted tbe instrument to her use. They have umde the neck of the cello smaller and reduced the size of the Instrument itself. Teachers, Joo, have modified their definitions of correct positions to adjust them to the peculiar ne ds of a girl student. • * • JACK DEMPSEY IN "DAREDEVIL JACK" One of the Greatest and Most Thrilling Serials Ever Filmed Commencing next Saturday at the llo-Ilo Theatre, Jack Dempsey, one nf the best known men In tho world, will appear In the I'nthc serial "Darodevll Jack." an electric action play, full of adventure.

Six THE CUMBERLAND ISLANDER June 12, 1920. THE ISLANDER Boxing Football Athletics PAGE OF SPORT SIDNEY FAILS TO HANG UP A SECOND VICTORY Peninsula Boys Shown a Few- Tricks by World's Champions in Second Ciame By a score of 7 to 2, Victoria showed the Sidney lacrosse players, how to play tlie game at Victoria on Saturday last. The Sidney team had gone to the capital city with a great reputation, having trimmed the champions the previous week by a le to 2 victory, and It Is said the people on the northern end of the peninsula began to plan for the erection of a new town hall In which to place tbe Mann Cup. But after seeing the two teams in action again there is not much chance of the silverware shifting Its anchorage, for the present at any rate. Victoria (lets Karl} Lead. The suburbanites took the field with a world of confidence. The champions did not know exactly what to expect, for when one runs into a gang who are flying with their tall up, there is no telling what might happen. Lester Patrick advised his captain, John Johnson, to get the Jump on the visitors, If possible. John tipped off the home and before the game had gone five minutes the ball was reposing in Sidney's net. Joe Painter put it there. He took a pass from Angle Mclnnes. The champions* continued to press. They clearly outclassed the Sidney boys. Painter got bis second counter im :i pass from Alexander and Allie McGregor beat Purdy with a close In shot. Sidney Steadies Down. Sidney's defence steadied down in the Becond period and kept the fast- travelling home of tbe Capitals well in check. Neither team scored In this period. In the third period the fanners came back strongly. Tbey buzzed around the Victoria net like a bunch of bees around a honeycomb. Sid Hum- ber shot in Sidney's first goal and had it not been for the brilliant work of Johnson, In goal, the visitors might hav collected a few other goals. Champions Speed Up! In the fourth quarter the champions showed a little of the speed and stick- handling which they arc capable of. Tbe home, assisted by several fast rushes by the defence men, swept In on the Sidney net and Purdy lost track of tbe elusive ball. After .Norton bad slipped the ball past Boss Johnson for the farmers' last count, Joe Painter sent in a long shot that beat Purdy.' In tho melee in front of Sidney's net, the ball, Purdy and a couple of other players were thrown into the net for a score. Painter got his fourth goal of the game immediately afterwards and Alexander slipped in a back-hand shot for the last score. lNTEK-UTY LEAGUE STANltlNUS P. W. L. D. Pts.

STRENUOUS GAME ENDS IN A 2 GOAL DRAW The soccer match played on the "Y" Grounds on Saturday last between the Vancouver Rangers and the Cumberland United produced some excellent football. A fairly good crowd turned out to cheer the local boys to victory, but all their cheers were'of little avail, as the game ended in a draw of two goals each. As the score indicates, the game was very evenly fought, with the Vancouver team having the best of the opening stages, and Cumberland, after drawing level, having a slight edge on the play in the closing period. The teams lined up as follows: Cumberland—Goal, Clark; backs, Smith and Wilkinson; half-backs, Brown, Jackson, Sullivan; forwards, Bannerman, Brown, James, Boothman, Harrison. Vancouver—Goal, Tapps; backs, Reid and J. Brown; half-backs, Robertson, Donaldson, Horn; forwards, Newberry, Wilson, Robertson, Gregg and W. Brown. The Lineup of the Opposing Teams. The kick-oil was delayed some fifteen minutes for some unaccountable reason. Cumberland won the toss, but there was very little advantage in that. Robertson started the game going and immediately got his left wing working very nicely, but Smith was safe as a bank and soon had the game transferred to the other end. Midfleld play continued for some ten minutes, with the Rangers having a little the better of the- exchanges. Brown and Gregg, on the Rangers' left, put in some nice work, Brown testing Clark with a lovely shot that had lots of "stuff" behind it. Clark made a brilliant save, but the opposing forwards were not to be denied, and were soon around Clark again, who had a most anxious time. Sullivan, who was playing a great game, relieved the situation, and got his wing moving in fine style. Boothman, by a nice piece of work, put Harrison in possession, and he centred perfectly, but Donaldson, centre half of the Mainland team, was "Johnny-on- the-spot," and he soon had his forwards moving towards Clark. J. Brown, the visitors' outside left, made a lovely run down the wing, and drawing the half-back to him, he placed nicely to Gregg, who just "walked" around Smith and beat Clark with a lovely shot, the goalkeeper having no chance to save. This reverse did not appear to put any life into the local team at all. and for the next ten minutes it was give and take play, half time arriving with the score at 1 to 0 In favor of Vancouver. Brilliant Play in Second Half. Rangers started tbe second half with only ten men, owing to the fact that Robertson, their right half, had sprained his ankle towards the finish of tbe first period. Cumberland at once made tracks for goal, and tbe way they swarmed around Tapps certainly looked as though tbey meant business. However, ihe defence of the Rangers was steady and soon had their own forwards going again, though Wilkinson was as quick in returning. Cumberland's right wing now got going again, and Bannerman, who had been playing a very fine game, centred accurately, but James was away too slow. Cumberland again made play on the right, and Batierman swung straight across to the left, Sullivan recrossing, only to see his centre handled by Andy Horn inside the penalty area, Boothman taking the kick, and had no difficulty in beating Tapps. This appeared to put new life Into tlie Rangers, and Joe Brown on tbe left, showing a clean pair of heels to Brown and Smith, sent in a lovely centre, Newberry having no difficulty in beating Clark. The Cumberland team now started playing iu real style, and after repeated efforts on the part of the forwards it was left to Harrison to score the equalizing goal. Cumberland Played Fine—Too Lute. For tbe last fifteen minutes of the game there was only one team in it— and that was not the Rangers. Still, with only ten men, they put up a wonderful game and had not Andy Horn given away a penalty, when there was absolutely no need for it, Cumberland would certainly have been on tbe short end. For the home team, Clark in goal, Wilkinson at left back, and the three half-backs, played excellent football, whilst Bannerman was the pick of the forwards, receiving good support from Boothman. For the visitors, Tapps in goal was in excellent form, Donaldson at centre half and Gregg at inside left, being the pick of the team.

CARPENTIER TELLS OF FRANCE'S LOVE FOR CANADA In response to the toast of Georges Carpentier at the Sportsmen's Patriotic Association luncheon at Toronto, the noted Frenchman said, in part: "It would be happy for me to be able to speak in English the feelings which I desire to express to all of you on behalf of my wife and myself. But I do not yet know your language well enough, and I have to' say It In French."( Cries of "En Francais" and "Vive la France.") ' "Thank you. I am sure you know us well enough"—(smiling)—"to realize that our sentiment is very strong toward our dear friends—no, I should say our very dear and good friends, the Canadians. I would like to be able, In the language which you speak and understand, to tell you of this sentiment of France to the boys from Canada -your brave boys — whose heroism during the cruel war made them so beloved by the people of France. STRENUOUS BASEBALL GAME AT COURTENAY Contest Runs Into Fifteen Innings and Then Ends in a Draw, 3 Runs Each In the match played at Courtenay on Sunday afternoon last, between a team from Granby and the Courtenay boys, the game went into fifteen innings, and then ended in a draw. The contest, which was very strenuous, was witnessed by a goodly crowd of spectators, many going from Cumberland for the event. "You are good enough-^with your good Canadian hearts—to welcome us, to do us honor, when we come to your country. But in our country, lu days that sometimes seemed dark, In the time of service, one Frenchman at least was inspired towards the clouds and in the clouds by the wonderful exploits of the Canadians. During some of the time we were in Belgium I was stationed very near the Canadians, and know of the heroic exploits of the brave Bishop and the brave Barker, whose feats ln the air did so much to bring about the downfall of the Boche. "We will never forget. France will never forget. All of France remembers, and all of France appreciates What your Canadian soldiers did lu coming to tlie rescue of our beloved country. My words cannot tell tlie thoughts and feelings 1 would* like to express. For my wife nnd myself, we thank you and assure you of our Joy to be lu Canada, for all France loves Canada," SUNDAY BASEBALL GAME POSTPONED Owing to the heavy rain on Sunday last the Powell River baseball team did not come across the channel.

Anderson UNION BAY CANDIES TOBACCO SOFT DRINKS McKenzie's Pure Ice Cream (Nanaimo) ASSERTS GOVERNMENT IS LOSING ITS GRIP Mr. W. J. Bowser, K.C.,' Conservative Leader, gave a very interesting address before the Victoria Conservative Association last week, nearly 200 members being present, many being unable to gain admittance. Mr. Bowser was in excellent form and was accorded an enthusiastic reception. His speech was more in the nature of a frank, heart-to-heart-talk on the present position and future prospects of the party in the Province. He expressed his confidence that when the present Liberal adiministration goes to the country it will meet defeat. At the same time he cautioned Conservatives to spare no effort in consolidating their ranks, asserting that in the compilation of the new voters' list now under way, lay victory if every Conservative is placed upon the list. Drifting Spirit of Government. Referring to the decision of the government to close the lists on July \\h next, Mr. Bowser asserted that In this connection the government was showing the same spirit of drifting us It has in Its administrative efforts. Already six weeks had boon allowed to slip by since the end of the session before the electors were given opportunity to register, and now tho government suddenly awakened to the fact that the time ls slipping by and the electors were to be rushed, ln the outlying sections hjuch as the Peace River, At- lin, Fort Oeorge and other widely* scattered sections, the six weeks being allowed would not be sufficient, he felt. Undoubtedly electors ln those ridings would lind themselves disenfranchised unless further time were granted. Election .'lay Be Soon. Mr. Bowser referred to the enthusiasm everwhere displayed by the Conservatives in offering their services as election commissioners to expedite the work of preparing the list; and he pointed to the "restless spirit" displayed by members of the government in rushing around the country making speeches as indicative that, perhaps, a general election would be forthcoming earlier than most expected, and declared that In point of energy and enthusiasm, the Conservatives of the Province are excelling the government supporters, a good omen, he felt, especially in view of the fact that the government has funds at its disposal, while the Opposition forces are without them. History Repeating lteslf. The present spectacle of the administration, with Its head floundering amid lawsuits, harrassed by disloyalty of followers and quite evidently becoming more and more disorganized Injts ranks, Mr. Bowser asserted, history was repeating itself. Thc Premier was finding himself in much the same position ns he (Mr. Bowser) found himself in 1916. "While I did not like It then, I must confess I like it now," said Mr. Bowser, amid laughter and applause. "In 1916 It came from every quarter. We had to take it. We got It. Today the position is reversed. Ily friend, the Premier, is learning what It Is to have the sentiment of an entire Province turn against him. From every quarter comes evidence the government is slipping. The psychological momont ls arriving. The record of the administration with its enormously Increased overhead cost, a salary list between three and four millions, millions spent on land settlement schemes which got no results, millions more to be borrowed with no definite programme to follow in the interests of tho Province, a government lacking initiative aud apparently marking time, wondering what will happen next, all these factors are recognized and appreciated by the electors," Mr. Bowser believed. People Interested. He pointed to the Invitations he had received from organizations In the far distant Peace River section, that when he made his forthcoming trip to that section he should address them, not of any merit In himself, but of the fact that the people want to hear of the real facts of the situation, that tbey are disgusted with the present administration. He believed thc great independent vote, that element who think for themselves, would be found with tho Opposition at the next election; the returned soldiers, be was convinced, would bo found supporting the Conservative cause.. The present administration had shown Its Inability to give an economical and businesslike administration. That fact had been undoubtedly impressed upon the minds of the electors. Financial Situation Insutlsfuctorj. The financial administration of British Columbia under the present regime, Mr. Bowser declared, had been So Inefficient and the results so startling that a research body In Toronto had considered it necessary to go Into the whole situation and to Issue a pamphlet setting forth the tacts, not alone to worn British Columbians, but the people In the East. That organza- tiou's findings but bore out tlie claims made by the Opposition party In thc Legislature. Mr. Bowser referred to his recent trip East, in tho course of which he became convinced that financiers there are closely studying the financial dealings of the British Columbia government. It was clear there would be no money forthcoming unless, perhaps, the funds were secured from New Vork concerns at excessive rates, plus thc exchange. The extravagance of the Oliver government, its unlimited borrowings, and Its legislation providing, at the last session alone, for additional borrowing aggregating over ?18,000,- 000, had set the Easterners thinking. Not that the latter underestimated British Columbia's great natural resources, of which they are fully cognizant, but tlie reckless policies of Its administration and its legislation pre- judlclously affecting investment here, has aroused serious misgivings, Mr. Bowser averred. Look to British Columbia. Mr. BowoBr tiealt briefly with tho political situation ln the East. The Conservatives are looking to British Columbia as the "white hope" In the Conservative cause. That spirit manifested everywhere in the Province thc belief In victory at the next elections, had spread to ihe East, he said. It was a happy augury of what the future would bring forth in British Columbia in a political way. The Conservative leader referred to the fact that so far as Victoria is concerned, the Oliver government has done nothing for it but adopt the policies of the former administration. For Instance, In the case of the Johnson Street bridge. He touched upon the land settlement plans of the administration, pointing to the fact that at the end of the present month tho clearing work at tho Courtenay soldier settlement scheme would cense and the men lose their wages, while at the same time the government was not iu a position to give the men title to their holdings tor the simple reason that the Federal board would refuse to loan on the valuation the Province would set upon the lands, the cost of the work so far having been excessive. The result would be that the men. unable to borrow from the Dominion to the amount necessary to meet the demands of the Province, would he without their homes. As he had suggested before, there appeared to be but one outcome—the government would have to share this cost, charging up the excessive 'outlays to inefficient administration. The people would have to bear the burden of the government's ill-thought-out and Ill-executed land policy for the soldiers, he said. FAN THOSE TEARS THAT WOMEN FEAR Turn on the Electric Fan When Peeling or Slicing Onions In Kitchen. The electric fan is no longer merely a hot weather convenience. The up- to-date dealer recommends It for various uses during the entire year. But did you ever think of the fan In relation to the lowly hut obstreperous onion? Preparing onions for the tabic is a ticklish operation, as anyone who has ever tried It knows. Tradition, says that the way to do It is "under water." This method, however, merely relieves the eyes, Instead of removing the cause of the. irritation. But by turning tbe fan on the onions and blowing the fumes away onions can be made as harmless as potatoes or apples.

With the world's gasoline supply in two great roncerns, the Standard Oil and Royal Dutch Shell, it is possible that prices are somewhat higher than would obtain were tho distribution through many small companies. That Is a point on which there may be differences of opinion, but there can be no disputing the fact that the rising price of gasoline Is today a factor, a very important factor, lu the advancing cost of living. Few men, perhaps, place in their true relation the Influence of the commercial motor traffic everywhere In evidence on the price of the bread, the fish, the meats we eat, the clothes we wear; but there is a close relationship. As gasoline prices advance that advance muBt be reflected ln all the affairs of our dally life. Substitute for Gasoline Essential. The use of the motor engine for business, for pleasure, steadily grows, and the climbing prices of gasoline makes attention to the problem of a substitute fuel a matter of practically universal concern. Alcohol is the natural substitute, hut the production of coiiinierci,il alcohol Is complicated In Great Britain, ns In Canada, by governmental regulations, which so restrict production and increase prices that tlie commodity Is practically beyond the reach for many manufacturing purposes as well as for use as a substitute power. As a consequence Canadian manufacturers find themselves at a disadvantage in competition with American manufacturers, who more easily secure this very important and very necessary article of commerce. Tho advancing price of gasoline, and' the increasing demand for Industrial alcohol, make practically certain the inauguration within a comparatively ' short time, of new regulations for the manufacture and sale of this very necessary article of commerce.

A^SASS^ •*^*f%S "The intimate article of dress known as the corset which the majority of women wear but know very little about" IN this pertinent way the well-known medical authority, Alice S. Cutler, AI. D., describes the most important garment in thc wardrobe of women. "Buy your corset carefully," warns Dr. Cutler. "No one wants to be ill, and when women realize that the constant wearing of an ill-fitting corset helps to keep our hospitals open they will insist on bring properly rittcd to corsets instead of buying thetn hit or miss." We unreservedly recommend Gussard Corsets, the original front-lacing corsets, as the complete expression of modern corsetry. Every Gossard Corset is hygienically correct. If properly fitted to the figure for which it was designed, and carefully adjusted each time it is worn, it will mould that ' co/?of£r%s litcylace in //wi£ Alitt S. Cutler, M. D. figure to the ideal proportions of its type. It will give a priceless all-day comfort. It will safeguard the w»*>rer against those bodily ailments that are often the result of improper corsetry. It will render a wearing tervice that alone is worth the price paid for the garment. If possible, the new Spring and Summer Gossards are superior to those of the past season, which were generally acknowledged to be without equal in meeting the needs of active womanhood from the standpoint of comfort, hygiene, wear and figure improvement. Our highly specialized fitted service reflects our sincere appreciation of the important relation a correctly fitted corset bears to your health, and to that perfect figure poise that gives the elusive charm of style.
