McFADYEN APPOINTED TO STAFF OF PUBLIC SCHOOL A special meeting of the Cumberland School Board was held in the Public School on Wednesday evening for the purpose of appointing a teacher to fill the position left vacant by the resignation of Miss Edith Horbury. The full Board was present, together with the principal of the school, Mr. Apps. The flrBt Item In the evening's business was the reading of communications one of which was from the teacher in question and rend as follows : Seattle, Wash., Mr. A. MacKinnon, Secy. Cumberland School Board, Dear Sir:— Please accept my resignation from the teaching staff of tbe Cumberland Public School. Thanking you for pnst favors. Yours respectfully, Edith Horbury. Trustee Brown moved, and Secy. MacKinnon seconded, that the resignation be accepted. Carried. The next communication was from Miss Genevieve MacFadyen and was in the form of an application tor the position left open by Miss Horbury's resignation. It was moved and sec onded that these communications be laid on the table for discussion, together with the application that was already filed from Miss Beatrice Bickle. Secretary MacKinnon started the discussion by moving that Miss MacFadyen he appointed to fill the position, but before a seconder could be found Trustee Brown asked leave to lay a few facts before the Board. He explained that they had a peculiar situation to deal with. To begin with, Miss MacFadyen had a first-class certificate and had already fi months of teaching as substitute for her sister who was on the sick list. Tlie latter, Miss Ida MacFadyen, had again asked for leave of absence until Chirstmas with her sister as substitute, feeling that she would not be well enough to resume her work until then. But now she felt that she would be able to work again and consequently her sister had sent ill the application. Taking Miss Beatrice Sickle's case, although she only had a second-class certificate the same as most teachers, she was already substituting for Miss Horbury which gave her a very good claim to the position. Finally, after much discussion, Trus- (Continued on Page Seven) LOGGING COMPANY TO PAY VICTIMS OF MERVILLE FIRE SOLDIER SETTLERS BURNED OUT IN APRIL, 1922, AGREE TO TAKE 80 PER CENT.

NOTICE On Sunduy evening, September 7th, St. George's Presbyterian Church reopened lor services after the summer vacation. The churcb has been repainted inside and outside and the bright and cheerrul Interior decorations were a source of pleasure to a large congregation. Two anthems were sung by the choir "Hail. Holy Lord." and "The Way ot The Cross." In his sermon, the minister, Mr. Hood, laid stress on the fact that tho keynote of Christian faith is sacrifice; that character is built only by self denial and unselfishness. In like manner as God hod given His only Son, so must His followers sacrifice in order to partake with bim.

Officers were appointed and Instructed to draw up bylaws to submit to the organizing body at a later meeting. This club for boys will fill a long felt need in providing boys with wholesome and Instructive recreation while at the same time withdrawing them from unfavorable influences.

The comeback ot the old timers on both teams was a conspicuous success, every player being In tlie game as strongly as in day ol yore- to win. Courtenay won tlie game, utter being on the losing end of the score Ior the major portion of the journey They won because Tommy Robinson, wielding a wicked hickory, slammed the old pill lor a two-bagger in the last stanza when three bases were loaded, bringing in two runs making the score 8-7 in favor of ills team and the game ended here.

Full attendance desired. Harry Wills, greatest of present day Negro heavyweights, won a decision on points over Luis Angel Firpo, pride of the Argentine, in 12 rounds of furious fighting at Boyle's Thirty Acres, Jersey City, last night Wills was easily the winner .taking nearly every round, while Firpo, although landing many hard rights, seemed to lack steam. Too mnny clinches tended to spoil what would have been a good fight. Fight by Rounds Fight opened with rush, both men boring In. Wills knocked with hard right swing. In clinch, Wills had all best of It, peppering Firpo's back and kidneys witli short jnhs. Firpo shut hard right to body, Wills clinched, sending Firpo staggering with left In breakaway. Wills furious usaaull seemed to puzzle the bull. Ills work in clinches which were frequent, were particularly brilliant. Firpo shot hard right to Wills' head. In this round Wills had best or the agrumeii!. Round 2—Firpo attacked furiously. Wills cleverly avoided punches nnd clinched. Wills frequently clinched, holding Firpo while be shot rights to body. Referee warned Wills against holding. Right to jaw sent Firpo to floor and when he got to his feet again, Wills peppered hlm with steaming rights and lefts. Firpo landed right to head as bell rang. Round 3—Men exchanged blows. Wills countering with barrage body blows after Firpo landed beautiful upper cut. Wills' holding In clinches again brought warning from Referee. Firpo shot terrlillc right to Wills' body and negro retaliated with riglit and left. Firpo wns still getting punished in clinches. Round 4—'Wills staggered Firpo with right flush to face, but failed to follow up advantage. Firpo missed frequently, his rights directed to head going wide. Wills worked good, at close he landed hard right to Jaw, followed with left swing to body which caused the bull to winch. Round 5—Fighters wrestled around ring pulling each other. Firpo landed a sharp to head, Wills blocked beautifully. Wills hammered Firpo's kidneys. Wills' right stunned Luis. Both men terribly tiring. Round 6— There was again plenty body punching in close quarters, Wills doing most damage. Firpo landed weakly to head and then rushed half way across ring to avoid Wills rushing, Wrestling tactics continued. Firpo sent stiff right to body, Wills hammered his ribs. Round 7 — Argentine's plunging rushes were missing. Wills doubled Firpo with left to body. Firpo sent lu right and left tn head. Wills jabbed with left and crossed with right sluggering Firpo in own corner. Negro undoubtedly hitting harder and more frequently than Argentine. Wills again played tatoo on Firpo's ribs. Firpo frequently complained to Referee. Round 8—Firpo came up at bell, jabbed weakly with his left but straight right sent his head backward with snap. Wills boxing superbly and his punches carrying plenty steam. Firpo short with right up- percul. but landed twice to body. Wills short with right to head. Firpo appeared to he in bad shape when round ended. Round ft—Wills tied Firpo up when lie started one ol his rushing attacks. They exchanged body blows. Negro's great reach bothered Luis. Wills landed six hard blows without absolute return. Wills gained confidence and crowd shouted for hltn to finish Job. Firpo floudercd around striking out weakly. Round 10—Men exchanged body blows. Firpo protested to Referee (Continued on Page Eight) The first league game of the season in the Upper Island League schedule was played on the local grounds on Sunday last when the Provincial Champions, Ladysmith, with a weakened team went down to defeat before the locals, the final score reading two- one. Neither team were at full strength, the Cumberland Forward line being re-arranged, with Banner- man and Plump switching over to the right, Hitcliens aud McDbnald, the latter a new man, comprising the left wing, with Fowler at centre forward. The Ladysmith team were minus their regular half back line, and the forward line being also re-arranged. The game started shortly after 3 o'clock with Adams, of Nanaimo In charge. The opening exchanges were fairly even with "Taffy" Davies, the visitor's centre forwnrd, being dangerous right from the kick off. Blair was the flrst to handle, clearing an easy shot. The home forwards backed by an excellent half back line got into tlieir stride a little and made tracks for Boyd, who was forced to handle. Play was transferred to the home goal when a corner was forced off Jock Stewart, which being admirably placed by Sammy Lewis, result ed in Heaps scoring with a hard shot, giving Blair no chance to save. This put new life Into both teams and for Ihe next fifteen minutes tbe play displayed by both teams was of a high order. Davies at centre forward for the visitors was giving the home defence a lot of trouble, and on one occasion, Iseating In both backs he made tracks for Blair, a goal looked like a certainty, but Blair with a magnificent effort, made a wonderful one handed save, the crowd giving a big hand for his work. Davies almost repeated a minute later when he tackled Blair in the act of clearing. The goalie dropped the ball, and Davies with the hardest of luck, hit the inside of the i upright, the ball hovering there for I a second or two, Conti coming to the rescue and punting clear. Just before half time Cumberland obtained the lead, through Bannerman. Fow- 1 ler ln an attempt to laud the ball Iu i the net managed to get there himself some way or another and it waa while in tills position that Bannerman man- | aged to poke the ball past Boyd. The visitors strongly protested this point, but the referee pointed to the centre. (Continued on Page Five) Giving Credit Where Credit Is Due In its Issue of September 4th, Tlie Comox Argus flashes a heading, "Pheasant Season is Extended," and gives credit for the lengthening of the open season for game to Game Board acceding to wishes of local sportsmen of Courtenay, The Islander believes in giving credit where credit is due and herewith publishes correspondence from tlie local member, Mr. P. P. Harrison, with respect to the short season foi willow grouse, blue grouse, pheasants and deer. The reader may draw his own conclusions and at tlie same time easily see that Mr. Harrison is giving all bis attention to the requests from his constituency. Following is correspondence of Mr. Harrison to the Provincial Game Conservation Board and to The Hon Mr. William Sloan M.P.P.: Cumberland, B.C., Aug. 1, 192i. The Prov. Game Conservation Board, Vancouver, B.C., Dear Sirs:— Tbe impression current iu this district that the Board intends to allow only two weeks open season for willow grouse, blue grouse, pheasants und deer, has given rise to a great deal of adverse comment, and I be lieve a great number of requests from local residents, to register a strong protest against such a short season, and to urge that the season be of six weeks duration. I bave made enquiries of many old- time hunters and of the local game warden, and without exception they all take the view that the season should be of six weeks at the least. I might say that I have done considerable travelling through this district, recently, and I have never In any previous year, seen such an extraordinary number of deer, grouse and pheasants. The game warden tells me the same thing, and informed mc today that in an afternoon's travel In part of the district he counted a total of 42 deer. Laat Sunday, while driving from this town to Qualicum, I saw eleven deer at different places on the highway, nlso a great number of grouse. I therefore strongly protest against the season being shorter than six weeks. I might point out that all through this district there exists vast areas of woodland, so closely wooded that hunters cannot successfully car- (Continued on Page Seven) FORD CAR FAILS IN AN ATTEMPT TO SWIM CHANNEL We have heard of Ford Cars doing many queer things but we never heard of one that could swim. Yet this Is apparently what Bill Berkley, ot Courtenay, tried to make ills car do at 4:30 Monday morning when he attempted a short cut Irom Royston to Comox via the water route. Mr. James Tremlett, wbo resides at Royston, was awakened at the above ungodly hour by the noise of an automobile going at great speed along the pier. This was followed by a loud splash and in a moment Mr. Tremlett knew what bad happened. The car and its occupant, or occupants, had gone over the end ol the whurr. Realizing the uselessncss of going out there alone, he awakened his neighbors Messrs. Fred and Bert Wilcock and thc three of them hastened to tbe pier. By means of n spotlight tbey were able to locate Mr. Berkley hanging by his elbows on j one ol the cross piles. A rope was I thrown over his head and shoulders ! and tlie unfortunate man was drawn ■ up on the whart. Had he remained 1 there much longer he would have dropped into the water Irom exhaustion and would certainly have drown- , ed as the tide was running out at a great rate. Two days alterwards the Imperial Oil boat made Its regulisy**!' call at , Royston and hoisted thc "Lizzie" out by means of a crane. The lntter was taken into Courtenay, looking not too bad for its diving exhibition. We I have since learned that Mr. Berkley thought he was crossing the Courtenay bridge. This accident, although It proved not very serious to cither car or man, still ought to call the authorities' attention to the condition ot the Roy- ! Bton pier which is in frightful shape. ; Had there been guards around tbe end of It, which there certainly are not, j this accident would probably never hnve happened. CARNIVAL DANCE IN AID OF FUNDS OF LOCAL SOCCERITES A huge Carnival Dance will be held In the llo-llo Dance Hall on Friday, September the 26th, In aid of the funds of the newly organized Cumberland Rangers Football Club. There will be Novelty Dances galore and a Prize Drawing will nlso be held. You are urged to attend this dance If you want to have a real good time.

Mr. G. A. Kirk, nominated by Mr. William Douglas, wa.*« elected to membership. A letter was read from Mr. A. W. Nell, M.P., re a Customs Oflicer for the city and district of Courtenay. It is proposed to have a customs agent stationed at Courtenay two days a week, to have his office, more than likely In the new post office building when that structure is occupied by the Dominion Government. Mr, Eric Duncan made an offer ot eight acres for an auto park site which he is willing to dispose ot tor two hundred dollars per acre on the following terms: Four hundred dollars cash and the balance spread over a period of two years at six per cent, Mr. J. N. McLeod thought the Board should lose no time in accepting the offer, believing that the business men would stand behind the proposal. Others took part ln the discussion with the result that Messrs. T. Booth, H. Stewart nnd J. N. McLeod wero appointed a commute to interview the City Council with the view to ascertaining what support they could give to the project. P. L.

RECKLESS DRIVER BLINDS POLICEMAN COURTENAY, — Reckless driving lias recently beeu the cause of a number of accidents. One ot these was the cause of the silent policeman at the corner nf Cumberland road and Union street losing his lone eye on Saturday night. The driver of the car was up on Wednesday night and received his little lesson from the city Magistrate, Dodge Brothers COMMERCIAL CAR Commercial car transportation must be dependable. The operating losses due to a tie up of vehicles for repairs increases materially the cost of delivering goods. Dodge Brothers cars are universally known for their dependable service. In considering haulage problems in general and deciding on the best car for your particular needs it would be well to consult Dodge Brothers dealer and get the benefit of his experience, and information on the elements of satisfactory transportation.

The fa miliar hearth, the easy chair ths open window, the well- worn book, Uii kiss ol children, the voice and smile of 0 faithful wife, the family board, the chance visit of an esteemed friend, or to come down to still small"'- trifles, the evening pipe, the worn slippers, thi merry hum of the teakettle, and the blazing fire after a battle with rough weather outside these, end such little things ;is these, involve mon' , happiness and solace than the great I triumphs and successes that await | us in the world. But these little trifles. If wu are wise enough to bel content with them, grow dearer as ihey grow familiar, and become perennial fountains of joy and solace. | Let us take care of the Utile things I of life, that contain su much of happiness or misery, and the groat j things may be left to lake care themselves, I.earn to laugh. A good laugh is better than medicine. Learn how to tell a story. A well-told story is as welcome as a sunbeam in a sick room Learn to keep your troubles to yourself. The world is loo busy to care about your ills and sorrows. Learn to atop cloaking. If you cannot see any good In the world, keep the bad to yourself. Learn to hide your pains and aches under a pleasant smile. No one cares to hear whether you have the earache, headache or rheumatism. Don't cry. Tears do well enough in a close-up in the movies, but they are out of place iu real life. Learn to meet your friends with a smile. The good-humored man or woman is always welcome, but tlie dyspeptic or hypochondriac is not wanted anywhere, and Is d nuisance as well. PROCEED WITH CROP HARVESTING VICTORIA, Sept. 12. -Harvesting of grain crops on reclaimed lauds in the Sumui Reclamation area is proceeding. A dream of fifty years has come true, thanks to the enterprise of the government lu carrying out the work. Despite the keenest criticisms, nothing but praise is heard now and hundreds of acres are under cultivation, lands which were annually Hooded. The new farming area of Sumas lake promises to become one of the richest in the province. Good reports are also received from the Southern Okanagan project, win1 re new settlers* are harvesting good crops.

Second Half If the first half of the game was of an even nature, it was totally different during the second half. Cumberland monopolized the game from start to finish, with the local half back line playing a magnificent game and well able to handle the spasmodic rushes of the visitor's forwards. It was during this half that Boyd distinguished himself, stopping shot after shot in masterly fashion and was easily the hero of the game. \ hard drive by Brake and another by Monahan a few minutes later were, two of the features of this half. The shot from Brake was a hum-dinger, Boyd jii.it managed to tip it over the bar. Owing to the sterling defence put up by the Ladysmith trio, Boyd. Campbell and Anderson, the home forwards could not add to the Boors, tlie game ending with the score two goals to one in favor of the home learn. The feature of the game was the work of both goalies, Boyd in particular showing up to great advantage. Conti at centre half played a magnificent game, being ably backed by Brake and Monahan. The home forward Une was fairly good, and wilh u little more understanding of one another s play should give a good account of themselves. Referee Adams ol Nanaimo handled the game in n worthy manner. His decision of Cumberland's second goal might be a debateable point, but he made no bones about It. pointing promptly to the centre. Frankly, we must admit, it is the first time In all nr career that we have witnessed such a goal scored, and had the writer of these notes been the referee, there would have heen no goal. We have heard a lot during the week about it, and from the views of one or two experts, the goal was a legitimate one. In the arguments advanced It was freely admitted that Fowler was off the playing patch and was uot interfering with the play. The teams lined up aa follows: Ladysmith—Coal, Boyd; Backs, A.

Saturday, August 30, 1924:— Harvesting of the wheat crop is proceeding now in Alberta under varied conditions. In southern portions of the province, the cutting is from 15 to 25 per cent, completed .while in the central and northern districts harvesting operations have just commenced, and will not be general for a fortnight. In the southern areas last rains have improved the grain crops somewhat, and warm weather lias aided Ihe (llliug process to such an extent that yields in some districts will bs? larger than at lirst anticipated. Notwithstanding the late rains, however, there is a very large area in south-eastern Alberta where the yields will be extremely light, and where much of what grain there is will be cut with headers. This process is now going on. and has been somewhat hampered In many districts by a heavy growth of weeds which has developed as a result of the late rains. In the central and northern districts chiefly in the districts adjacent to and north of Edmonton, heavy rains in the past week or two have somewhat retarded the ripening process and harvesting will consequently be delayed another week on two. In these districts the warm weather needed has not materialized to the extent which might have been desired Nevertheless, with a short period of warm weather and absence of damage from frost these areas will yield some very satisfactory crops of grain. One very satisfactory feature of the situation during the past few weeks has beeu the fact that the weather has been ideal for the process of filling, and the indications are that the grain harvested will he of a very good sample. The heads are showing a good, plump condition. Thus far there has been no damage from frosts, and very little damage from any other cause in nny part of the province save from that of drought. The recent rains have been of great benefit to tbe later maturing crops such as oats and barley and to thc feed crops. Even in the southern district where the grain crop is light, there will now he sufficient feed of u kind to carry many farmers through the winter season. Grass bas improved in growth, the oats and barley crops are filling satisfactorily, and other crops promise well. The corn crop In southern districts, of which there is an acreage this year double that of last year, will be very satisfactory for fodder, although the early conditions were not such as to bring much of this crop to maturity. The second cutting of alfalfa is about completed, and has yielded fairly heavily. The labor situation is being handled effectively by the provincial labor bureaus, in co-operation with the local U.F.A., and other organizations. Demand for harvest help has become keen in south-western districts iu the past week, but is being met satisfactorily. No labor shortage is reported from any point.

"It was this condition that defeated me," continued Major MacLaren. "We kicked off in bright sunshine on the stretch over whicb we crashed, and it looked as if we would make our next landing stage, but the fog came up in the twinkling of an eye, and we were compelled to plane down. For a great portion of the flight we were only 15 feet over the sea. When we came to our destination the undercarriage was practically touching the earth, and before we could gain elevation we had crashed Into the cliffs. "1 did not know whether to cry with disappointment or jump about with relief that the flight was finished. We knew that it would be impossible to get the "old boaf into working order again directly we had had a chance of looking over her.

Yours truly, P. P. Harrison, .M.L.A. Cumberland, B.C., Aug. 1, 1921. The Hon. Mr. William Sloan, M.P.P., Parliament Buildings, Victoria, B.C. Dear .Mr. Sloan: — I know you take considerable interest in hunting as most of us do in this district. The rumor that the Game Board intends to allow two weeks hunting for willow and hlue grouse, pheasants and deer iu this district, has caused a considerable amount of hard feelings. I have been pestered on every hand by sportsmen urging that I take every step possible to have tbe season made for six weeks instead of two weeks. Two weeks in this district is absolutely absurd, in view of the extraordinary amount of game that one sees on every hand this year. ln this year 1 have seen in all parts of the district a great number of deer, grouse and pheasants, In fact more ln this year than 1 have ever seen in any previous year. The Game Warden, who also says that the season should be six weeks, tells me that hu has never seen so much game in this district before, and the other day he counted 42 deer in one afternoon's travel through the woods.

The Dominion Life Assurance Company T. HUMPHRIES, Manager for Vancouver Island. 406-7 Pemberton Bldg., Victoria, B, C. The Editor, Cumber lain! Islander, Dear Sir;— The .Mayor has been good enough to call a public meeting on Tuesday next, in an endeavor to arouse a greater interest in the Boy Pcout Movement in this City. I should like to point out that the real aim of the movement is character building and that the method used is one thut is finding increasing commendation from educational authorities. The imagination of the boy is kept always alert and he learns by doing and even the doing is a game that he enjoys. Further, it is commonly overlooked that in fact the Scout brotherhood is one of the soundest and sanest movements for World Peace, that has ever been put into practice. At the present time some five thousand Boy Scouts are gathered in Copenhagen representing practically every country in the world at a big International .lumboree and when it is understood that they represent 1,343,960, boys all of whom are pledged to honor and brotherhood, it can readily be seen what u real factor in world affairs the Scout Movement is becoming. Regarding our work locally, I shall have something to tell at the meeting. But at the moment I only wish to plead for a greater and more intelligent interest in this work for boys. Thanking you in anticipation, I am yours sincerely, W. Leversedge, S..M. W. T.

Harry used to know better but time does work wonders. Doth catchers did some great pegging to the outfield but gingery support saved some critical situations. Bob Little, second sacker for Courtenay pulled a nice double play when he caught .Maxwell on the line and threw a Cumberland runner out at first. When Bob was receiving the congratulations of his pals after the fracas he modestly replied "Inside Stuff, but that's nothing to what we used to do." Dixon at short, made a great fielding play and peg to first, catching a runner at the initial sack. Buck Gibson in centre field, for the visitors, made a great catch of a skyscraper in the sixth inning. Buck, wearing a "beehive" hat made a great hit with the fans as a comedian, as he did in days of yore. Courtenay's outfielders had nothing to do hut Union Oil Charlie and team mates were ready to grab anything lhat Coal Oil Johnny Stant and his supporters sent their way. Johnny sure heaved great ball and had an exceptionally useful mate on the receiving end, Westfield showing a lot of his old time form and pep. Alex Maxwell was activity itself at short stop and Johnny Cameron at second was of great asistance to the Cumberland team. It is said that big league scouts saw the game and are angling for Bob Little. Dixon, Pat Fletcher, Harry Farmer, Gibson, Johnny Stant and Gibson. Tommy Robinson Is not for sale, as Courtenay wants lo heat Cumberland again in the return match. Len Piket, who managed Courienny learn Inst Sunday lias wired New York that money can't buy any of his bunch since they now claim thc old timers' championship.
