y 8. O. E. took the offensive at the opening and found Woods playing a very hard and effective game. A corâ€" ner was awarded S. O. E. but Leonard cleared nicely. McIntyre went down but Carroll missed a good chance to score. Leonard at the other end had to clear twice from Meredith and Morâ€" gan. Hughes broke away and went down and beat Priddle easily. This was the break for the S. O. E. who were playing a hard game, the weak goalâ€" tending in no way upsetting the good playing of the rest of the team. Hughes scored twice later and Carroll made it five for MciIntyre. The game for the commencement of the season was good exhibition of clever football and except for the goalâ€"tender of the S. O. E. the score would undoubtedly have been a little different. McIntyre deserved the win as every man on the team was a worker and had to play hard right to the end. Woodstock Sentinel Review:â€"In this age when women vote, drive cars and planes, smoke and go in for athletics, soomer or later some bank teller is goâ€" ing to ask a woman customer to make out her own deposit slip. The opening game of the local footâ€" ball league, under the auspices of the N. 0. F. A. was held on Saturday, when the S. O. E. went down to defeat to the McIntyre by the score of 5â€"0. The teams lined up as follows:â€" 8. O. E.â€"Priddle, goal; Johnson and Thomson, backs; Leach, Woods and Williams, halfâ€"backs; Morris, Landers, Morgan, Meredith and Southcott, forâ€" McIntyreâ€"Leonara, goal; Rankin and Phillips, backs; Curtis, Robson and Connor, halfâ€"backs; Allan, Chalmers, Hughes, Connell and Feeney, forwards. Refereeâ€"P. Larmer. The game opened with the MciIntyre pressing but S.0.E. soon tranferred the play and had a little their own way, the MciIntyre defence standing up to the attack. McIntyre came down and very soon Carroll after two attempts beat Priddle with a nice fast shot. Meredith gave Leonard a hot one t clear at the other end. A bad crossâ€" wind was hokling the game up to some extent, by blowing the ball continually into touch. M‘INTVRE TEAM WINS 5â€"0 FROM THE SONS OF ENGLAND 9. 0.

Sons of England Put Up Good Battle but Go Down to Defeat. Thursday, June 5th, 1930 The Advance would be inclined to urge the settlers to organize, but not as a political body, but more along the lines of a board of trade. Such an orâ€" ganization could present the case for the farmers to both parties, and the party coming nearest to doing the most for the settlers should be able to bank on the support of the settlers. The trouble with any extensive sort of orâ€" ganization of the settlers is the fact that so little expense can be afforded. Another difficulty is the long stretch of distance over which the settlers are secattered and the consequent difficulty in getting them together for conferâ€" ences. It is all very fine to counsel the settlers to help themselves, but to what extent are they able to assist their own "Little has been heard lately of the farmers‘ organized movement which started so encouragingly near Cochrane, and drew up a petition of grievances to be circulated and presented to the proâ€" vincial government. Surely the poliâ€" ticians haven‘t been able to run it into the ground so soon! The. farmers won‘t get anywhere until they organize, and stay organized. How can the Norâ€" thern press help their cause if they don‘t bestir themselves in their own interest? The Porcupine Advance keeps on plugging on the question of restorâ€" inz the size of settlers‘ lots to 150â€"160 acres, from the present 75â€"80 acres. We are right with them on that, have always been. None of the grievances set out in the petition have been rightâ€" ed yet; and what has become of the t)tition itself? â€"The farmers in the West hold the fate of the two parties in the hollow of their hand, and get what they demand; whereas it does seem as if the Northern political maâ€" chine has the settlers buffaloed comâ€" pletely. How many of them dare say "Boonhn"‘ about anything? There is hardly a more disunited group of agrarians anywhere in Canada than our settlers, and that is one mighty good reason why they are so poorly However, it may be interesting to read the editorial note from The Norâ€" thern Tribune:â€" In an editorial note last week The Northern Tribune, of Kapuskasing sugâ€" gests that the settlers of the North should organize a political party of their own to secure the several things they need. The Advance doubts the wisdom of such a plan under the cirâ€" cumstances. The settlers lack both the numbers and the cash necessary for success in the way of a political orâ€" ganization. In the West mentioned by The Northern Tribune, the case was different. There the farmers and those dependent on the farmers made up the larger part of the country. Here, with mining and lumbering both much more important industries than farming, the case seems altogether different. Advises the Settlers to Organize for Needs Col. Mac Lang was unanimously selected as the Liberal candidate in the approaching election for the riding of Ssouth Temiskaming. The convention was held at New Liskeard and was very largely attended. The big convention seemed to consider no other candidate than the present member. Col. Lang was formerly member for this riding in the, provincial house. He won the Scuth Temiskaming seat in 1926, deâ€" feating Dr. Armstrong, of Cobalt, who had been the Conservative member. It is expected this year that W. A. Gorâ€" don, barrister, of Haileybury, will be Conservative candidate. It is expected to win South Temiskaming for the Conservative column, for though Mac Lang has a large measure of populariâ€" ty, W. A. Gordon is also very able and popular and it is believed he will put up stiff battle. Capt. Tom Magladery has also been mentioned as a candidate for the Conservative nomination for South Temiskaming but it is reported that Capt. Magladery will not oppose Mr. Gordon but will lend his powerful aid not only to Mr. Gordon winning the convention but also will give his best efforts to assuring the election of W. A. Gordon. s Hector Ptomley, of Milton, senior wilot of ithe provincial air force, has been appointed superintendent of the western division forestry branch of the Department of Lands and Forests. He will be in charge of eight stations and 14 machines with Sioux Lookout as headquarters The trip from Sault Ste. Marie to Sioux Lookout was made in a Hamilton allâ€"metal cabin maâ€" chine and the distance, more than 500 miles, was covered in four hours. cause? In the meantime it seems to The Advance that all the newspapers of the North should keep "hammering awzy‘" until the case for the settlers is fully and completely presented. The Governments will be found to be ready to listen and act if there is "hammerâ€" ing" enough. The Advance has found Premier Ferguson and his cabinet anâ€" xious to do anything for the North and for the settler. There are three things, however, that should be kept in mind: The local members should be fully supâ€" ported in their presentation of the case for tho‘settler; the Government can not be expected to act until the case is fully presented, and it may be noted that if those of this country are ready to drop the matter after only a brief struggle they can scarcely expect a Government to continue greater interest; and, lastâ€" Iv, the Government has a right to exâ€" pect that there shall be public support for any cause the administration is asked to take up. Let all the newsâ€" papers of the North keep "hammering away."‘ COL.

While a portion of this increase may be attributed to the wheat situation, it is also known that there is an increased tendency on the part of large customers to avail themselves of bank accommodation. It is likely due to the larger capital employed that the Bank has been able to report to shareholders slightly inâ€" creased profits for the six months, as compared with the corresponding perâ€" iod last year. Profits amounted to $3,â€" 543,017 , up from $3,491,651. There were also received in the six months payments of $51,459 as premiums on new stock. These amounts, when addâ€" ed to the balance carried forward, brought the total available for distriâ€" bution up to $4,330,059. This was apâ€" propriated as follows: Dividends and interest on instalment payments on new stock $2,167,586; amount credited to Rest Account $51,459; provision for taxes Dominion Government $229,979; reservation for bank premises $600,000; leaving the balance of profit and loss to be carried forward at $1,281,033. In the genera, statement of assets and liabilities, total assets are shown at $822,599,648, compared with $915,â€" 705,653 a year ago. Of this, liquid asâ€" sets are reported at $373,450,296, equivaâ€" lent to 51.03 per cent. of liabilities to the public. Included in them are cash holdings of $94,421,408, equal to 12.90 per cent of public liabilities. In the face of unusual conditions, the Bank has been able to keep strong in liquid assets and cash and at the same time to show satisfactory profits. In the general statement one of the outâ€" standing features is the increase in current loans in Canada. Both Capital and Rest are at new high levels. The Paidâ€"up Capital now stands at $36,000,â€" 000, up from $34,548,760 a year ago, while the Rest has been increased to $38,000,000, from $35,548,760, at which level it is $2,000,000 above the Paidâ€"up Capital.

(Huntingdon Gleaner) The value of the gold mines of the reef in the neighbourhcod of Langâ€" laagte, near Johannesburg, is about £2,000,000,000 today. Yet the mam whose discovery led to the opening up of this reef is living on a State peii, sion of ¢£2 10s. a month. In 1886 Samuel Honeyball, son of a Worcester clergyman, tramped across the Transâ€" vaal with a companion in search of work. Whilst on a farm at Langlaagte the two found some glittering quartz on the ground. Having crushed and washed it, they found that it containe« a large percentage of gold. They first offered their claim for £5, but cowuld find no purchaser. Liater, both peggeo claimed, which they sold for £300. Some time afterwards the mines workâ€" ing upon these claims were examined, ang the whole reef was purchased at a very moderate price. Since then it has proguced millions of pounds‘ worth of gold, and until old age caused ‘him to retire Honeyball, who is now seventyâ€" five, worked upon the site of his disâ€" covery as a blacksmith in the employ of the company.
