(Continued on page 7) CUMBERLAND TENNIS CLUB HOLD DANCE The Cumberland Tennis Club opened their new Board Tennis Court, with a dance on Tuesday evening last, which was fairly well attended. Quite a number from Courtenay and district were present. A good time waa spent by all, music being supplied by Miss Amy Dallos and Messrs. "Toots" Plump, Frank Potter, Bobby Strachan and James Walker. SHIPPING Courtenay took the lead, in the Ave game series, here last Sunday, when they won over the Cumberland aggregation 11—8. Courtenay was lirst to score having four runs In the lead when the locals wakened up and tied. Courtenay piled up a nice lead in the next few innings, Cummins taking the mound in the third and pitched a nice game for the Cow Boys. Larson was ln the box for Cumberland during the first five Innings and was replaced by J. Davis, formerly of Powell River, who was stingy with the hits. Larson was not bit so hard as the score would indicate but errors and bad hops came when most need by the opposition. The feature of the game was mostly in the outfield, when Mitchell grabbed one nice line drive, which looked good for three bases. One double play featured the In field when King James and Plump did the trick in nice style. For Courtenay Andy Robertson got a circuit clout along with two other hits and Cummins also three safetys, while for Cumberland Plump James and Marrochi got two hits each.

The Cumberland boys looked sure winners when they managed to put four men around the paths before the side was retired. .This did not discourage the home team In the least, but went right in only to retire one two three. The second Inning saw Aitken replace Bennie in the box and everybody played ball behind the new slabster. Bevan got three runs In the second. When with some timely hitting aided by some costly errors they scored five runs and were never headed although they never hnd the game won until the last man was out, as Cumberland ha dthe tying run on third twice only to have the third man put out.

The combined forces of Bloedel, Welch & Stewart, and the Dollar Logging Company turned out to fight the lire, the wind abating considerably they soon had the blaze under control.

The boys are all In tip-top shape and are all confident they can give a good account of themselves. pitchers, Robertson and Bennie for Cumberland and Bennie and Aitken for Bevan, while Slratchan and West- field did the receiving In a capable manner. All the new material so far Introduced have shown signs of coming players with practise. While proceeding In the direction of Najiaimo on Saturday last the Cumberland—Nanaimo stage, driven hy Mr. Sangster, collided with it Robert Dollar logging train, near Union Bay, turning the auto completely over, badly damaging It. One of the male passengers received a broken arm and a young boy received several cuts about the head. Apart from a severe shaking up the other passengers escaped Injury. The tale, In brief, is as follows: On Sunday evening. Mrs. H. Barker was left alone, with the exception of her Infant child, In their home near Campbell River. Mr. Barker, her husband, was expected to be absent for but a brief time. Came^utl- denly a knock on the door, and a full-blooded Indian appeared. He la- formed Mrs. Barker thot her husband had met with an accident, and had requested her presence at once. It was Intimated to her that an automobile accident had occurred, and under this pretense, she was led to the beach, and the following story, which was taken under evidence from her while confined as a patient at the Campbell River Hospital, is conceded a true account of events as they occurred thenceforth. The Victim's Evidence "My husband was at Comox Camp No. 2, 1 put the baby to bed, and sat down and read, until little after ten. The accused came to Ihe side of the house and I called out 'who is there?' and he said 'Jackson,' and he said my husband was hurt, and wanted me to come to him. I asked what had happened, and he said he had run into a stump. I asked where shouts was he, and how badly he waa hurt. I thought he must he dead when he would not tell me. and he Bald "Oh no," "I would see when I got there." Evidently the deponent then left the house with the accused. Continuing, the evidence is: "1 said again, 'where is he?' He said, 'Down on tho beach.' 1 answered 'No. He cannot be there. Where Is his car?' 1 couldn't Bee any car, and 1 thought he was lying. Then I tried to get away. He hit me with his fist on the head. I don't know, exactly, but I must have fallen with the blow. He grabbed me by the throat and held me on the ground." Then comes some evidence which is too pathetic to print. It is a tale of brutality which is but seldom told with truth, and one which makes the blood chill. After describing the first assault, the deponent continues: "I ran away and fell over some logs. I cried for help during the time I wns free, but j was caught and again assaulted. I Then 1 ran into Holmstead's house. I Holmstead's brother loaded up a gun | and ran and got my baby." Police Help is Obtained After this came a description of obtaining police help, when Provincial Constable Dawson was summoned, and he immediately responded, ■with the result that Edward Thomas was arrested at McDonald's k I Murphy's logging camp, seven miles ] from Campbell River. He was taken | before Mrs. Barker, who Identified him as her assailant. The Doctor's Evidence j Dr. Shaw's evidence was heard, ! and it substantiated nn assault with ! violence. He remarked on bruises ! found by him on the neck, arm, ear and chin of lhe victim, besides other marks of violence. Prisoner KciiiovimI to Safety It is understood that, In order to j escape the vengeance of the real- dents, the prisoner was yesterday rushed lo New Westminster, and to Jail for trial.

TWO THE CUMBERLAND ISLANDER SATURDAY, JULY 21st, 1923 CUMBERLAND ISLANDER Published every Saturday morning at Cumberland, B. C. EDWARD W. BICKLE SATURDAY, JULY 21st, 1923 NO USE FOR CANDLECOURTING DON'T WORRY Boys brought up by wiBe mothers, in companionship with sensible Bisters, have a high ideal ot woman. They have a protecting, worshipping attitude. They realize to the full her sweetness and her abounding self- sacrifice, and so, through thc force of understanding and appreciation, they place her on a little pedestal of their own making. They carry this view of woman to school with them. It dignifies their companionship with the little girls. It breeds chivalry. It goes with them through boyhood and when they get out in the great world, lt colors and glorifies their lives. And when they come to real love- making, in a serious way, after those periods of what we term "Puppy love", they approach It in a spirit of manliness and reverence appropriate to its value and importance in the scale of life. This spirit dignifies the man who has it, be he of the slums or of the avenues. It makes the conduct ot a certain young fellow named Andrew Yotson stand out like a snow-clad peak. Andrew was the suitor of a young girl named Anna Dugan. Two other young men sought her favor, and this wealth of admirers turned Anna's head and she giggled up a scheme to settle her own fate and that of the three suitors. One night Anna Invited the three loverB to a party at her home. During the festivities she brought out three candles, lighted them and placed them on a board declaring a mysterious prize awaited somebody. When the last candle had burned out, Anna announced that she had placed the name of the young men under each candle and that Bhe herself was the prize. YetBon's candle had burned the longeBt. Andrew told her that his ideas of the sanctity of courtship and marriage didn't agree with hers, and withdrew in disgust. She, however, took the proceedings as entirely normal, went on with her wedding plans nnd when Andrew didn't appear, sued him for breach of promise. The court decided against the silly girl and approved the manliness and real chivalry of Andrew's conduct. One day at a time conscientiously lived up to will keep the eyes bright aud the cheeks round and rosy. Don't begin to worry about things days beforehand. It will be time enough when they happen. It is the dread of what may come,, not what is, that makes one old before the time. If you lie awake half the night, worrying about something that is going to happen the next morning, you will be far less able to face It bravely and work out the problem, than if you had made an effort and thought of something else until sleep came, lt ls not half as hard as 11 sounds and will grow easier every time you try it. Perhaps, after all, the disaster will not befall you or will be less awful than you anticipated and Just think what a lot of unnecessary wrinkles you hove worried into your face.

Winnipeg.—Outside some minor damage by hail and excessive moisture crop prospect for wheat in western Canada remains unimpaired. Acreage Is estimated nt 20,900,000 acres and yield may easily average 25 bushels to the acre. Present outlook compares with that of 1882 and 1887, and is really much better than In 1915 when the great crop was raised. Prominent grain men say It will not be surprising of more than 600,000,000 bushels of wheat are harvested. Clean up of last, year's harvest approximates 370,000,000 bushels. Oats crop pro mises to be by far the largest on record. Moving Canadian Wheat Will lax All Storing Hi-sources Though six weeks will elapse be fore harvest, bank and railway managers, elevator ..companies and mill men are preparing to handle unusual production: All are cooperating In view of the general report that the yield promised to approximate 500,- 0000.000 bushels. That officers of United Grain Growers are not alarmed over hazard presented is quoted on the Grain Exchange ns evidence that all the money required will be arranged by the banks, that transportation companies are rapidly getting their equipment in condition to give adequate service in record time and that the elevators, both interior and terminal, will be ample even with 150,000,000 larger yield ol' It Is Yours Five-sixths of the timbered area in B.

The Oil Surplus a Blessing Everybody in tills country ought to be Interested In lhe liberal oil supply. Unless oil supplies are to continue indefinitely bow can we safely go from 14,000,000 motors to 20,000,- 000 motors? Had not California burst forth with an additional 20 per cent, to the world's oil supply, Henry Ford might have had another problem on his hands. Gasoline might have been 50 per cent, higher. Tlle molor Industry rests not only on good roads but on cheap gasoline. E. L. Doheny, President of the Pan- American Petroleum & Transport Co. who has done more for the development "of oil In California and Mexico than anybody else, looked over tho southern California fields last fall and estimated" that the output would reach its maximum nt 400.000 barrels per day. Later he named 500,000 barrels a day. When he stopped estimating the production shot nbovo 700,000 barrels. Shipping men and owners of tankers should he grateful for the Panama Canal which permits Ibis surplus of California oil to he quickly routed to the Atlantic Sea- hoard for refining. Yet only last year the great oil-producing state of California was an Importer of gasoline, because its magnificent highways hud so stimulated motoring. Oil people who look askance at the California oil output should remember that wealth Is in production and not in prices.

W. R. Motherwell) An effort has been made, by not altogether disinterested parties, to belittle the net results of the recent session of Parliament. Speaking more particularly with respect to agriculture, I may say that 1 cannot recall any Session of Par liament since Confederation that passed more beneficial legislation or behalf of agriculture than the one re cently prorogued. True, five months was a long time to spend in performing the work but that is one of the prices we must pay for groups in Parliament, all of whom have to have their say. A number of Acts have been passed such as "An act to amend and consolidate the Acts respecting Live Stock" and "An Act to regulate the sale anC Inspection of Fruit and Fruit Con- tainers," which can be merely referred to here as containing very im portant and up-to-date legislation in their respective fields. Tbe same may be said of the amendments tc Feeding Stuffs Act and the Dairy Industry Act, the latter of which prohibition of the manufacture and importation of filled butter, filled milk and filled cream—three pernicious practices tbat were quietly but persistently establishing a foot-hold in Canada to the great detriment of the dairy Industry. in addition to this Important legislation affecting one of our chiel corner stores of Canadian agriculture—dairying—was the fight to a finish during the last Session on the question of whether the prohibition of the manufacture and importation of Oleo, would be again reverted to. as It existed for thirty years prior lo 1917. By a non-party vote of fifty- four to one hundred and twenty-five Oleo, for the time being, received a solar plexus blow that will take some recovering from. Nothing daunted. however, tiie packers' professional lobbyist waa an anxious inquirer around the corridors the week following the vote, doubtless with a view lo renewing the battele at some later date. The report of Dairy Commissioner .Mr. J. A. Ruddlck and Mr. W. A-. Wilson on their return from New Zealand and Australia, coupled with all the before-mentioned beneficial legislation on behalf of the dairy industry, makes the last Session of Parliament an outstanding one, so far as the dairy industry of Canada is concerned. Although the removal of tlle British Embargo on Canadian cattle did not require legislative action on the part of the Canadian Parliament, il did on the part of the Imperial Government, which was lhe outcome of a conference between tlio Imperial an,I Canadian Authorities — hence, properly referred to in this article as one of the advanced steps taken oi. behalf of agriculture during lhe pasl year. The removal of the British Embargo against Canadian cattle has had a greater direct result In improving tiie farmers' market than any other single move that has been accomplished during the past few years. Canada was in the unfortunate position of being largely shut out of tbe only two available markets for her live cattle—the American tariff and the British Embargo accomplishing tliis end. An agitation has been carried on, both ill Great Britain and Canada for a number of years for the removal ot the Embargo, and a great many people on both sides of the water have given valuable assistance In this effort and not a few of them claim Unit the removal of the Embargo is entirely due to their efforts, But to say tliat a great many people helped in bringing this about, is much nearer tiie truth of the matter. For tbe last two or three years, tvhlle it was generally expected tlmt the Embargo would bo ultimately removed, it was of vital Interest to the business of raising cattle in Canada.

THE PREMIER LOAF OF COMOX DISTRICT COURTENAY PHONE 151 TEA ROOMS and tbe delay was not only disappointing, but it was ruinous to the cattle business. The present Canadian Government not only acted promptly but effectively, iu this matter, and when the Ministers of the Government and the officials of the Department of Agriculture entered into n conference wilh the members of the j British Government aud officials of j the British Ministry of Agriculture, ! they had a very difficult task on their ' bauds. They accomplished something however, of real importantce for the \ Canadian farmer when they came 1 to a satisfactory settlement of the j case, which as a matter of fact, was : only concluded the morning afler the ' Lloyd George Government had resigned. A new Government took office tu Britain, and then for a time it looked j like another year's delay. A special \ Session of the new Parliament was ) culled lu November to pass tlio Irish Hill. Tin- Canadian (iovernment pres- sed the Embargo enacted at this special Session, but the now Government urged that it bad just taken office, thnt tliis Session was for a ape- ! cial purpose, an llnif tbe Embargo . legislation should remain in obeynuce until tho regular Session after the j first of the year. II wus only after j repeated and persistent urging on tin- part of tlio Canadian Government ' tluil this question which had been of i such long standing was Anally solved | by the British Government passing j an AcC removing the Embargo, which '. came into effect April 1st ot this ! year. I There is not a live stock man in Canada but recognizes clearly tho tremendous ndnntnge it would havs been to havo had Ibis market last fall, and what a calamity lt would hnve been were It not nvallable tills year. .Mention might also bo made of the granting of a certain bounty Oil twine and cordage made from hemp, for lhe purpose of establishing a hemp industry in Western Canada—a movement well worthy of a moment's consideration. Canada last year became famous by having arrived at tlio stnge of being the largest exporter of wheat In the, world. In the face of Ibis it does seem a mistake to longer continue to - depend aopn foreign countries for tbe twine with which lo tie nine-tonths of this crop. Hoiup Is a product that can be growtr successfully, almost luxuriantly, In many parts of tiie West and East, with or without irrigation. It grows freely in this country, and should supply unlimited quantities nf raw material for the successful establishment of a hemp Industry, the future production of which for both some consumption and export no man call estimate. As Important as this should be to every. Western man, strange to say, three Western Members supported it. Following (lie reduction of freight rates by the restoration of the Crow's Nest Toss Agreement, important legislation^ had been passed designed to control and regulate lake rates, which soared to such alarming proportions last Fall. The personnel and work ot the newly-appointed Royal Grain Enquiry Commission, presided over by -Mr. Justice Turgeon, Is another indication of tbe desire of the present Government to serve agriculture faithfully and well. The increase in the-Estimates of over half a million dollars for tho Eradication of Bovine Tuberculosis, twenty-live thousand for further experiments in the exportation of chilled beef and ten thousand for experimentation with the rehydrating of fruit, all speak for themselves and Indicate a further desire to grapple wilh Ilrst things first in the solution of Canada's many agricultural problems. Live slock men generality will great ly appreciate the valuable importation of the various purebred breeding animals imported and selected personally by Mr. Archibald, Director of Experimental Farms. These animals are intended for distribution amongst the various Experimental "Farms, from which farmers may replenish their breeding stock to advantage as desired. A question of more than usual significance to Western agriculture was the three-year Canadian National Uail way Construction progrnmme, passed by the House of Commons and approved of by the country generally, more particularly by the West. Imagine wilh what consternation it was learned that the irresponsible Senate stepped In and thwarted the will ol the people by giving litis railway programme tho six months' hoist. As if to add Insult to injury, some Western Senators have the audacity to say (as per Senate Debates) that the Government so enacted this legislation' that It would court the disaster that befell It.

GOOD MONEY IN GOOD FARMING Let's Get to Work and Pay Off the Mortgage" N INE years ago Canada's national debt was about one- third of a billion. It is more than two and one-third billions today. Our debts have greatly increased—our revenues must also go up. The farmer has to bear his share of the increased burden. That means he must increase his revenue. Complaint has been heard that farmers under present conditions in Canada cannot make farming pay. And yet many thousands of Canadian farmers do make it pay. How Is It Done? Patient and industrious "carry on" will do wonders, but something more is needed. Too often "patient industry" is coupled with "doll persistance" in poorly thought out methods. Farmers today more than ever; must plan ahead, as well as "plug along"; Indeed they have no option, if they wish to succeed. Co-ordination of head and hand will mean real success. Farming in Canada has paid and pays now on many farms. It can be made to pay on almost every farm. Canadian agriculture has passed through low profit-making eras successfully in the past and can do so again. Crop Return* Should be Increased On the Central Experimental Farm at Ottawa some crop costs and crop profits ln 1922 as contrasted with all-Ontario average crop costs and crop profits are given below, The all-Ontario figures are in brackets: Cost per acre ProSt per acre Hay $21.13 (113.50) $11.21 ($5.09) Corn for Forage $47.50 ($33.75) $10.38 ($2.86) Oats $26.47 ($19.32) $ 7.33 ( .04) Similar result! cut be shown from the Dominion Experimental Forma In every province. Experimental Farm crops are sometime! claimed to be produced at too great cost. Thousands of experiments, however, show that increased cropping costs wisely applied up to a reasonable point always increase crop profits. This it true on the Experimental Farm —and on any and every farm. With the increased cost of production, the higher standards of living now prevailing cannot be maintained by poor farm management, "boarder" milkers, scrub beeves, poor quality hogs or non- profitable hens. That even under present conditions profits may be made is testified by many skilful, observant and non-plunging farmers, who believe more in the policy of- "slow but sure" and "pay as you go" rather than speed, with excessive borrowing and the often consequent disaster. The results on our Experimental •Farms also bear testimony to the value of thorough, skilful work. The Farmer Must Manufacture But crops alone are not enough. The farmer must change his crops into less bulky and more high- priced products—milk, pork, beef, mutton, poultry, etc. With fair yielding cows dairying shows good profits in Canada. The average cow has increased her yield 25% in the last ten years. She can quite readily; go up another 25% and more, and there's where the profit lies. Better, feeding, better selection and better breeding will do the job—feed, weed, breed. To do better feeding means better pastures and more generous supplies of palatable roughage. Short rations including clover and ensilage crops (corn, sunflower, pea and oat, etc.) will provide feed in abundance for both summer and winter. The experiments and investigations which the Dominion Department of Agriculture have carried on prove that farming scientifically and systematically undertaken will pay profits. The records and particulars of such work in every province are available to the Canadian farmer. Aro von growing- grain, or producing seed or interested In fruit?

Manson is greatly disappointed in the action of the Canadian Senate in rehiring British Columbia to hold a plebiscite on the question of provincial control of liquor importations. He and Premier Oliver maintain that the people of this province decided in favor of government control and that it Is unfair to ask that the province be put to un expense of between $75,000 and $100,- 000. However, If a plebiscite Is necessary, it will not be held until after the next session of the Legislature, which will commence In October and- end before Christmas. * * • Hon. T. D. Pattullo, minister of lands, announces the Income from the forest branch of the month of May as $258,431, an increase over May, 1922, of nearly $10,000. The revenue is made up from the sale of timber, scale and royalty, timber licences and leases, * * ♦ The first party of British boys, numbering 25, of the 250 who are to be placed in this province by the Salvation Army, arrived In Vancouver recently and were met and welcomed by Hon. T. D. Pattullo, minister of lands, on behalf of the govenment. The lads were between the ages of 14 and 19 and presented a fine ap- prearnnce. They were placed most' ly in tbe Lower Fraser Valley. * * * A splendid opportunity is being overlooked In British Columbia by the farmer who does not raise sheep and the goverment ls carrying on an educational campaign to encourage the production of mutton and wool. The grazing commissioner, Mr. T. P. Mackenzie, urges farmers to organize grazing community flocks, especially in districts where there are logged-off lands, which means nearly every part of the province. He suggests that the logged-off lands be seeded with cocksfoot grass, excel lent feed for sheep, and that a sheep- herd be placed In charge of the big flock, which each farmer will have au interest in. In this way losses would be cut to a minimum, the farmer would be free from the care of his flock during the busy summer season and the profits would unusually encouraging. . * . Changes in the affairs of the provincial police include the transfer of Inspector Parsons from Prince George to Prince Rupert and inspector Dunwoodie from Fernle to Nelson. Both these officials have had long and merltosious careers in this province. Before long the provincial police will be ln uniform. Attorney-General Manson is now deciding upon the uniform to be worn. * * * The government have appointed Mr. W. A. .Mi-Adam, assistant deputy minister of finance, as secretary and assistant to Agent-General F. C. Wade ln London. A strong campaign will be carried on to interested Britishers In settling In British Columbia and directing capital to this province. Mr. McAdam will tour the province before leaving for London, in order to familiarize himself with conditions here In every branch of industry. * ♦ * Working conditions for women and girls in British Columbia are steadily improving under the supervision of the provincial department of labour, Attorney-General Manson being lhe minister In charge. Accord- I ing to tlle annual report o fthe Minl- j mum Wage Board, just completed, il I is shown that the 8989 female work- i ers who were experienced receiveu I an average of exactly $17 per week, which was well above the average .minimum wage, $14.23. The workers i averaged 43.28 hours per week, where ' as the. maximum permitted is 4S. These facts are striking refutations of the argument often met that the legal minimum wage in industry tends to become tlle maximum. A review of tbe report shows that women and girls iu offices were the best paid. They averaged $19.32 per : week of only 41.95 hours. In the mercantile industry female employees averaged $15.09, or $2.34 above the minimum. Laundry workers got $14.51, while those engaged In public housekeeping received an average of $15.98 for 46.25 hours. In the manufacturing industry there were 1296 employees, receiving $16 for 43.92 hours per week. Telegraph and telephone operators averaged $17.25 a week, while the fishing idnustry paid well, $15.50. e * * Hon. William Sloan, minister of mines and commissioner of fisheries, in his annual report, shows that In 1922 the provincial salmon pack totalled 1,290,326 cases, as compared with 603,548 cases in 1921. The value of last year's pack ls estimated at $11,247,000. The British Columbia fisheries were one-third of the total for Canada, i 0*0 British Columbia deserves great credit tor the industrial strides she is making, remarked Hon. J. H. King, minister of public works In the Federal Government, this week. The doctor, who ls at present visiting many points In the province Inspecting public works, will be In the province until after President Harding's visit on July 26. He Is highly optimistic over prospects here in general gives the Liberal Government a fair share of the credit. * * * Hon. J. D. MacLean, minister of education and railways aud provincial secretary, has returned from a month's visit to Ottawa and other eastern cities. He attended the annual health conference ln the capital and claims that health work ln this province is on a par with that of any other in the Dominion. The doctor attended the Good Roads convention at Hamilton and added' his voice to those urging the government to continue Federal Aid for provincial highways. * * * Premier Oliver is leaving no stone unturned ln his light for cheaper freight rates in British Columbia, and it is conceded by all shades of political opinion that he is getting somewhere. While the subject, through repetition, has become more or less boresome to those who have I not realized the importance ot the matter, still the industrial future of the province depends largely upon the equalization of freight rates and i the government leader, having taken | hold, will not let go his grip. He will leave for Ottawa in a few weeks to appear before the privy council in this regard.

Although at the Conservative convention last fall Mr. Bowser was the choice of the delegates, still his selection was made only after a hard fight and many Tories have since thrown over their allegiance. Rumors of an election have been running around but Premier Oliver gives the laugh to these, stating that the government has no intention of calling an election for a long time to come. So far this year the losses trom forest fires have not been heavy, states the minister of lands, Hon. T. D. Pattullo, but he has issued a fresh warning to forest rangers and the general public. The dangerous season has arrived and after the heavy rains of the spring and early summer, it is only natural to expect a dry spell, which ln many districts will probably last for months. From now on, he claims, every citizen should consider himself a fire warden and Join in the fight to protect the magnificent forests of British Co lumbia.

Theed Pearse BARRISTER & SOLICITOR NOTARY PUBLIC Observations Of A Federal Member June 30th.—House adjourned after 5 months session. In the closing days the Senate nullified a good deal o fthe Session's work. It killed entirely the bill to give to the Province the power asked for to regulate the liquor traffic, and also the bill to finish certain brance lines which have acted as feeders to the National Railway lines and helped, not only to make them pay but would have kept settlers on the land who are now being driven out because of lack of transportation for their wheat ond other products. We hired a first class railway man at a big salary and now the Senate prevents us following out his advice! They also materially altered the bills passed unanimously by the Common carrying out the recommendations o fthe Ralston Commission dealing with soldiers' pensions, Insurance, etc. Further, they inserted clauses in the Chinese exclusion Act which allows a Chinaman found illegally in this country, to remain on paying the $500.00 poll instead of being deported as the Commons passed it. No penalty for illegal entry? It would be impossible to get a bill through to abolish the Senate, it for no other reason because the Senate would kill the bill and the Commons would not pass it either because every member of the Commons dreams of being a senator one day but if the public got behind the idea, lt should be possible to amend the British North American Act to provide that if the Commons passed a Bill in two successive Sessions, the Senate could not veto it on its second passage. The Senate is supposed, to check hasty legislation. The provision that a bill would have to be passed twice by the Commons would prevent hasty legislation and would put nn end to the present undemocratic condition, by which the Senate which is responsible to no one, can kill legislation passed unanimously hy the Commons, responsible to and Just elected by the people at large. Somewhat .similar action was taken some years ago in Britain to curb the powers of the House of Lords. The night before the House prorogued, a member from Montreal, sought to have endorsed by the House the claim that Hindoos should have the vote in Canada. This was strongly opposed by several of the B. C Members who pointed out that, if that were allowed, other Orientals must also be given the franchise and that the matter was entirely one for the Province of B. C. to deal with as the franchise is entirely a Provincial right an dthe Dominion franchise is merely copied from each Province. The Premier promised consideration of B. C.'s wishes It their Members were united o nthe subject. If the Farmers of this Province wish to check the owning or leasing of land for agricultural purposes by Orientals, they should at once urge the Local Government at Its next Session to pass a test act to prohibit such. The question, as a matter of Civil rights, comes entirely under Provincial Jurisdiction subject only to any rlghtB given by treaty. There Is a Treaty to which Canada assented and Section four of that Treaty gives to British and Japanese subjects equal rights to own or lease land or warehouses in the territory of the other, but this applies only to commercial purposes but Section Five is the one dealing with agricultural land and it expressly provides that this can odly be done on "A Condition of Reciprocity" and as Japan refuses this right to us there can be no pos- sible objection, with full regard to Treaty rights, to refuse them the same privilege In Canada. This matter should be pressed at once.

"Lady, you've got nothing on me. I've been walking for sixty-two yearB." Her mother was the bone of contention. She stayed so often with the young couple that she was the cause of many quarrels.

"Daddy," which comes to the Ilo- llo Theotre on Friday and Saturday ; Is a picture that is said to complete the full revelation of Jackie's extraordinary genius. His preceding offering, "Oliver Twist," disclosed Jackie's genius in its tender, pathetic and wistful aspect. "Peck's Bod Boy" revealed Jackie mainly as an impish, '. mischievous, adorable lad; there was grotesque humor in "Trouble," where In Jackie was a plumber's helper; but It remained for "Daddy" to bring to light Jackie's capacity for tragedy. Jackie has been proclaimed by emt- , nent critics as being one of the great- ' est actors of all time, regardless of age. "Daddy" will prove it, for in this First National picture Jackie Is called upon to sound the lowest depths of ■ tragic despair. It happens In but one scene. In the main the produc- tion is devoted to the spirit that animates Its ending—happiness. "Daddy" was produced by Sol Leaser and directed by K. Mason Hopper from the original story by Mr. and Mrs. Jack Coogan. In the cast are Bert Woodruff, Anna Townsend, William Lewis, George Kuwa, Arthur Carewe and Josie Sedgewlck. MAYO SCORES IN NEW TYPE ROLE AT RIALTO Frank Mayo essays to conquer new fields In "The First Degree," on view Monday and Tuesday at llo-Ilo Theatre, his latest Universal starring vehicle whicli Edward Sedgwick directed. As the hero of many thrilling melodramas of the north woods, Mayo has established himself as one of tho leading outdoor types on the screen. In this new picture he creates a character in which strong emotional expression is required. Those who have long maintained that Mayo can act as well in human interest stories as in outdoor pictures have the opportunity of seeing how well their belief Is justified In this drama. All Innocent man sentenced to prison, his efforts to live down the stigma haunted by socletys condemnation, then, on the threshold of a life of happiness and respectability, his suddenly coming before a Grand Jury and confessing ns a self-accused murderer—these are some of tho tense plot developments in "The First Degree."

Electricity is constantly making life easier, more convenient and more comfortable for everybody and, as the world is grasping the place of electricity in the home, soon it will be the exception for a house not to be thoroughly equipped for every phase of electrical service. Considering the importance of the electrical equipment of the home, nothing should be left to chance. The wiring should beright, illumination properly provided for, electrical outlets conveniently placed and the materials and appliances should be what experts have decided is necessary for a safe, dependable and permanent job. In other words, your equipment ought to be standard. Your electrical installation requires a specialized knowledge just the same as your heating or plumbing installation. The heating engineer or the sanitary engineer knows better than you do what your house requires. In these cases, if you are wise, you select a man whom you know to be qualified in every respect to give you a satisfactory installation at a fair price. There has to be a man who knows, and the community has to have some means to find him. The man who knows electricity, so far as it applied to the modern household, is the qualified electrical contractor, who is in close touch with the latest practise in electrical wiring.
