As years roll by the Xâ€"ray finds many physical defects, that are due to the rigours of war. There was no Xâ€"ray when we donned that suit, which is the uniform of His Majesty the King. That same Xâ€"ray toâ€"day is often the cause of many an exâ€"soldier being out of emâ€" ployment. This Xâ€"ray brings out deâ€" fects which are the direct cause of war service. In many cases the employer forgets that this poor devil went through hell on earth for the same emâ€" ployer, gave his all, health, home, fuâ€" ture and many many lives also were given so that he and his family were safe at home, to cheer the boys along as they went to fill that thin red line over there. There are many employers of labour toâ€"day who employ exâ€"solâ€" giers only, or citizens of the country. There are also employers who take little interest who is being employed until a little publicity is given, who take more interest in an Xâ€"ray plate than what the man is or has been. It is time an Xâ€"ray was taken at the port of embarkation and a man found unfit before he is allowed to sail, never mind land .in a strange country where an Xeray will show up against him and exâ€"soldiers at the Dome, and Porcupine in the Legion. We have to thank Comâ€" rade Parsons for the splendid work done for the branch, as he often drives over with Dome members dues and application forms, and has in the past snatched new members right under our nose in Schumacher and Timmins which speaks well for our worthy comâ€" rade from the Dome. With the Dome and Porcupine 100 p.c. Legion and Schumacher and Timmins the same, we can do much to make the lot of the exâ€"soldier a happy one in the disâ€" trict. Much has been said about the exâ€"soldier in the past, and the local branch, but we are daily gaining many friends in the Porcupine, and our little effort to show that might is not always right, has earned many favourable comments from the citizens of the disâ€" triect. We cannot hope to make the Porcupine a paradise, but we can at least do our utmost to help the emâ€" ployers of labour, to get as many citiâ€" zens and Englishâ€"speaking men emâ€" picyment in this district, as it is just about time the preference is given alâ€" ways where possible, to the supriorters of that piece of bunting caled The Union Jack, the emblem of that mighty Emâ€" pire, on which the sun never sets, the Empire that we as exâ€"soldiers fough: and bled for, and many gave their lives to keep that same bunting flying. We still have some of that same old fightâ€" ing spirit left, and the object is to fight for the exâ€"soldier, see he gets a square deal, see he gets a show, and see that the dependents of those who fell over there are properly looked afteér.

I‘m sure we are thankful for the support from the Dome, and to Comrade FParsons for his work in getâ€" ting the donation‘$. Our Timmins comâ€" rades are also to the fore, and we have many donations from our Timmins supporters, which shows we command at lsast a little respect in the district.

Thursday was pay day at the camp, and Maki had been to Englehart during the day, and had changed his cheque, returning to the camp late in the afternoon. He came to Myer‘s camp about a month ago from Cochâ€" rane and prior to then had been workâ€" ing in different parts of Northern Onâ€" taric, the police say. About 45 men are working at the camp. The Round Lake section of the district is rough country, with a number of bush camps scattered over its area, and the going will be difficult through that part of Temiskaming. According to what can be learned about the matter, the police believe that Maki left in company with another man immediately after the stabbing. It is thought that he and his friend were going to the Round Lake district between Charlton and Kirkland Lake and that the hope was to get out of the country in case any serious injury‘had been done. When the two left the camp they had little idea that the injury to Pukki was to prove fatal. A warrant has been issded According to information secured by the police the fatal row occurred at the lumber camp of Joseph Myers, of New Liskeard, said camp being about four miles from Krugersdorf, which place is some eight miles north of Englehart. Both Maki and Pukki were employed at the camp and the stories told suggest that they had quarrelled on numerous occasions as a result of their differâ€" ences. They are said to have refused to be reconciled, but disputed with each other so strenuously that bad blood always seemed to be between them. Last Thursday the altercation between the two men became so heated that Maki is allaged to have picked up a knife and stabbed Pukki in the stoâ€" mach. There was only the one blow struck, but the wound was very deep. Dr. Martin, of Englehart, was in the neighbourhood at the time, and with the assistance of other men at the camp Pukki was taken to the doctor‘s car and Dr. Martin rushed him to the Englehart hospital. He reached Engleâ€" hart at 9 p.m., and with his arrival the polite were notified. Provincial Conâ€" stable Felix with Robert Swan, of the T. N. O. investigation departâ€" ment, started to make enquiries, but without result. Since then all trains have been watched, the yards at Engleâ€" hart were thoroughly searched, and officers in different towns have been on the lookout for any trace of Maki. Sergeant George Delves, of headquarâ€" ters staff at Cobalt went into the Round Lake district on Saturday to continue the search for Maki. No ante mcortem statement was made by Pukki. who did not speak English, but inâ€" quiries made at the lumber camp by Inspector Moore of the provincial police last week, is understood to throw some light on the tragedy, although investiâ€" gation proved difficult in view of a general ignorance of the English lanâ€" guage amcng the men at the camp. The inspector is auoted as saying that apparently there had been bad feeling between Pukki and Maki for two weeks past. An argument . between them arose in one of the camp buildings on Thursday evening. The exchange of het words lasted but a few minutes, it was said, when Maki whipped out a knife and struck Pukki once. The latâ€" ter collapsed. Maki and another man immediately left the building, both subâ€" sequently departing from the camp. The difference between "Red" and "White" Finns is believed to have been responsible fo,;e the trouble, Pukki being of the latter branch, and the alleged slayer adhering to the other group. Word came last week from Englehart telling of the death in the hospita‘ there of Kalle Pukki, aged about 30 years, from a knife wound in the stoâ€" mach, and also of the search by the police for Ole Maki, aged about 34 years, who is alleged to have caused the injury, and who disappeared right after the stabbing. Pukki was what is known as a "White" Finn, while Maki was a "Red." It is said that the two were continually arguing over the poliâ€" cies of the "whites" and the "Reds," and that the stabbing was a result of one cf these disagreements.

THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO The reason for this change in game regulations is that trappers find tha foxes were easiest to trap in the late summer months when their fur was worthless. Ingeniously some of them struck upon the plan of keeping the wild foxes in captivity until their coats developed, this proving very destrucâ€" tive to the wild foxes. Many were killed in trapping or cruelly kerf shut up in some barn or out house sufferâ€" ing from uncared for broken legs or other wounds received. charging Maki with the murder of Pukki. Red foxes gre now among the proâ€" tected animals coming under the game laws of Ontario. A new regulation deâ€" claring a closed season on foxes from March 1 to October 31 is now in effect. The new regulation is noted in the pamphlet form synopsis of the Ontario game laws of 1930 sent out by the Onâ€" tario Dept. of Game and Fisheries. Game wardens receiving this notice will find it necessary to prosecute anyâ€" one killing foxes during the closed seaâ€" son and that the penalty for this ofâ€" fence will probably be $10 and costs. Farmers who; in order to protect their poultry, find it necessary to deâ€" clare war on the foxes will be perâ€" mitted to do so, but they will also be obliged to turn the pelts of any they kill over to the department of game and fisheries. Chicago Tribune:â€"Canada is talking very seriously about shutting down on the exportation of "likker" to the Unitâ€" ed States. It would be a good thing for Canada, for then everybody that likes champagne or beer would have to go up to Canada to get it and spend a lot of money on railroads, hotel bills, and post cards, besides what they pay for their drinks. . .. About the only way to scare Canada into having a heart is to talk about annexing it. The one big bugabco that stalks around Canada day and night and all the year around is annexaticn by the United States. Start a lot of talk about anâ€" nexing Canada if she shuts down on letting us have "likker" and the Canâ€" adians will rush down to the boundary line with a quart bottle in one hand and a tin dipper in the other and pour us out all we want. Not that we want to annex Canadaâ€"far from such. Where could we drive our autos when we wanted to be free from snoopers and reformers and bandits and hiâ€" jacks and enforcement officers with their roaring shotâ€"guns if Canada was under the same laws that have been smeared over the U.S.A.? No, Canada is our land of refuge, our oasis in darsary desert, cur sanctuary. CLOSE SEASON DECLARED FOR RED FOXES IN ONTARIO license.

Commenting on a recent item in Thce Advance in regard to Magistrate Tucâ€" ker‘s ability to speak the Indian tongue and so bring confusion on a witness in court on one occasion who pretended to be unable to speak English and who was demanding an interpreter, hoping by this procedure to gain some adâ€" vantage, The New Liskeard Speaker says that this scheme is not confined to Indians but that it is also followed by foreigners in this country. In this connection The New Liskeard Speaker says:â€"*"Not only Indians, but bad forâ€" eigners generally, try to make believe they do not understand English when up in court and questioned on matters they would prefer to keep mum about. Last week an Indian who was charged with hitting a man with an oar handle from the resultt of which it was said he died, was questioned by an officer. He said "Me no understand," but a few minutes later he gave himself away by saying: "Give me a cigarette." A couple of weeks ago a small safe was stolen from the office of the Imâ€" perial Oil Co. at North Bay. It was recovered last week about three miles out on the Sturgeon Falls road from the Bay. It had been broken into, but the thieves must have been greatly disâ€" appointed after carrying the safe to an auto, transporting it the three miles carrying it to the side of the road and forcibly breaking it open. All that the safe contained when it was stolen was three lead poencils, just ordinary penâ€" cils at that. The safe was not used for holding any cash, and the lead penâ€" cils just happened to be in it. Accordâ€" ing to reports from North Bay the thieves after opening the safe either carried off the pencils or threw them away as no trace of them was found when the broken safe was discovered.
