Lowery (1906-1926), a prolific newspaper publisher, editor, and printer who was also widely acclaimed for his skill as a writer.

It is reported that what the game may have lacked in science was made up for in amusement. Weather conditions were ideal and some'200 spectators turned out to see the game, mostly in automobiles. Greenwood did" most of the attacking which is evidenced by the fact that the Greenwood goalkeeper was not called upon to stop any direct shots on goal, whereas the Kettle Valley custodian thrilled the crowd with his masterly display; disposing of some well directed efforts. The game ended without any score being registered. Greenwood were best served by their full backs, Stilwell and Randall, aud centre forward Cavaye. Those who caught the eye in the Kettle Valley team in addition to their goalkeeper were Gane and Jacques both playing in the half-back line. The visiting team were highly pleased with the refreshments, so thoughtfully provided, and are unanimous in their expression that the Kettle Valley team and their supportors are ideal hosts. The teams were: Greenwood- Taylor, Stilwell, Randall, Wallace, Muir (Capt.),'Berg, Morrison, Andreas, ..Cavaye, Mowat and Henderson; Kettle Valley��� Harpur, _Pausey, Rock, EJ. Richter, Gane,!

The football match Kettle Valley v Greenwood on Easter Monday, an account of which is elsewhere, was ...very much enjoyed, at any rate, by the iocal players. It is hoped that at a later date there will be another match. Anyone wishing to play in a practice game to be held shortly, kindly mention it to B. Gane, Kettle Valley. The Banff Dance held at the Riverside Hall on Tuesday night was a big success, fully 200 people being present and a most enjoyable evening was spent.'

A Valuable Possession Custodians of Historical Tobacco Box Are Heavily Bonded In Caxton Hall, Westminster, London, in a doubly-locked safe, in a strong-room reposes what is claimed to be the most, wonderful tobacco box in the world. JMoro than 200 years ago it. was bought for S cents at the Horn Fair, Charlton, by an overseer of i.he City of Westminster, and was used when he and his brother overseers met. on festive occasions. It was then so sniall that it held only 3 oz. of tobacco. Today It is over 1 ft. high and more than a foot square and is insur- -ed for ?35,00O. The secret of its.value is that the .original box is now* enclosed in six others. .Each box is cased in silver, and upon it is tin engraved pictorial or written record of the most important, happenings in the history of the last two centuries. One.of the last engravings to be added is a representation of the burial of the Unknown Warrior in Westminster Abbey. The owners of the box are the Westminster Past 'Overseers' Society, which was formed in .1713. Every year tho society appoints two custodians of tho tobacco box.

Users of Strange Currency Hundreds of Rnces Have Never Seen Real Money Probably the -nost amazing coin in the world is to be fo.uul on Uap Island, among the "Caroline group. Here they use circles of limestone, with a hole in the centre through wliich a pole is passed to hold it. up. These stones vary in size from 6 inches lo 12 feet. O.f course, a large amount of energy has to ba expended to produce ihes.e. in fuel, Ihey are cut from a quarry on an island three htm dred liiiles away, and transported by canoe! It must also be good'-cpiality stone. This coin never changes hands. Tho method used is ihis. A man buys from a friend, who takes him round anil shows iiini the family stones, the friend chooses one,, and it is his, but remains outside tho house of the original owner; everyone Knows his own coin so they can be safely left about.. Then When the first, man buys anything back from the original man, the stone returns to him.

The worn-out shoes of the dear boys who fought over no man's hmd, or marched through the enemy's barrage, or stood for us in the blood and water stained trenches; are relics of honour.

"Little shoes are sold at lhe do.orway of heaven, And io all lhe tattered Hi He angels are given. Slumber, my darling baby." That is the strange lullaby sung by some Spanish mothers io put their babies to sleep. There was a man named Bunyan, who once had a wonderful dream. It was about a sinner who became a Christian and ""who travelled from earth lo heaven. He was shown many" wonderful places and saw wonderful things, and aiul wonderful experiences.
