On Friday night there was another strenuous game played on South Porâ€" cupine ice between Timmins and south Porcupine for the possession of the Kenning Cup. This game also had to go into overtime to decide a winner and by two Jucky goals in the first few minutes of overtime the Porkies emerged victors in a 4â€"3 score.

Hudnut was parâ€" ticularly good. Hudson was going in with the air of making sure but was tripped by Hackett From a scramâ€" ble in front of Chevrier, Auger picked up the puck that beat him. This was the spark that exploded dynamite in the Porkies‘ makeâ€"up. Play was fast and furious and just as furious were the tactics used io keep them out. Hackett went to the pen. All Porkiecs but the goalie went up the ice fighting like madmen. At one time they were trying to push Hudnut, puck and most of the Timmins team into the net but a faceâ€"off close by was called. Krupka drew penalty before Hackett was released. Their team mates made a valiant stand but a short swift Catarâ€" ello to Michaelson play beat them all. The score was tied. Play was fast and faster.

The gong sounded on a 2â€"2 secre and the play went into overtime Only two minutes had gone when Cock sent a sizzler against Hudnut‘s pads and â€" Hudson dashed in and skidded the rubber over the line as it adropped, before Hudnut knew where the pesky thing was. From the faceâ€" off Cook passed to Gagnon who sallied in on Hudnut before the boy had setâ€" tled his thinkâ€"cap after the previous surprise. Spence and Doran were benched for mixing it. Arundel carâ€" ried the puck down with Auger flankâ€" ing him and on wellâ€"timed pass the latter netted that biack bun. Timmins put up a great battle for the equalizer. Hackett who seemed to be playving unâ€" der a nervous tension all evening, startâ€" ed in to chastise Chevrier when the latter stopped another wellâ€"aimed rush. Soon the majority of both teams were in a mixâ€"up. Managers, coaches and police got to the corner before anything serious occurred exâ€" cept a little more excitement to a game already at white heat. Hackett, was given another rest and one man short the efforts of the visitors were futile with all Porcupine on guard and sometimes shooting up the ice for reâ€" lief. _ When the gong sounded Timâ€" mins players were around the Porâ€" cupine citadel like bees around a honeyâ€"tree.

Settler Shows Plan Far From Practical A couple of weeks ago The Advance published a letter from Mr. Martynse, of Essex County, detailing a plan he had for relieving unemployment by putting the workless on the farms, with Government aid. In publishing the letter The Advance ventured the opinion that the scheme did not apâ€" pear practical. This was suggested even in the heading as well as in the introduction to the letter. Last week we received a letter from H. Goode one of the pioneer settlers at Brower, and he deals very effectively and in detail with the plan advanced by Mr. Martynse. _ Mr. Goode‘s letter speaks for itself. Here it is:â€" Brower Post Office, March 2nd To the Editor of The Advance, Timmins No. 8â€"80 days work at $2.50 per day. Mr. Martynse probably thinks the children will die the first year, so the men will not need so much to keep the house going. have to have a wagon that will cost hundred dollars, one set of sleighs, $85.00, one plough, $25 00, one disc, $50.00, one set of dressing harrows, $25.00. His team of horses will cost him $400.00, his harness another $75,00. A total of around $660.00, and these are things he must have. Now the hay for the team for the first year will be 12 tons. That means that 16 tons of hay have to be bought for horses and cow, and he is bound to have the cow to give butter and milk for his family, and the team to work with and haul his supply from town. No. 5â€"One hundred dollars‘ worth of implements. What does Mr. Martynse figure he can buy for that amount. There does not seem to be any practiâ€" cal knowledge either in farming or the price of implements. First, he would The Advancse, “mmms Dear Sir:â€"In reply to Mr. Marâ€" tynse‘s letter as published in The Adâ€" vance last week re putting the unemâ€" ployed on the land to solve the proâ€" blem, when I read through the plan of settlement it looked to me like another wild theory that will never work out in practice. Nr. 3â€"One barn 12 by 12. Now what did Mr Martynse figure on keeping in this building? A few bees or a pig? There is not room for a team of horses and a cow, that is sure. No. 7â€"120 days‘ work at $2.50 per day, which is below a dollar a day. If Mr. Martynse figures on putting them in China, he may be able to live on that, but not here. No. 9â€"40 days of work at $2.50 per day. Well, I suppose the wife will be dead by this time, so that is the reaâ€" son there won‘t be so much need2d. The price of the farm to be $1,200.00, payable after 2 years at $100.00 per vear, with interest. He has to clear one acre per year for three years, which gives him 8 acres of clearance. With very careful management he may cut enough hay to feed his cow, but he still has to buy for his team, 12 tons, besides oats, then he has to pay $100,00 cn his farm and keep his famâ€" ily. Oh, pardon me, his wife and No. 4â€"AÂ¥ road to the nearest railroad station. That is O.K. No. 1â€"â€"100 acres of land, 5 to be cleared and stumped. That will be just about enough pasture for one cow for the summer. Where is the winter feed to come from, which means four tons of hay at the least. No. 2â€"One house, 18 by 20. That is all right. No. 6â€"Transportation to the farm for the familyâ€"That is OK. in Letter From Mr. Martynse re "Back to the Farm" Sscheme for Unemployed. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO By this time the man will have lost all his ambition; his debts getting bigâ€" ger and nothing to meet them with. ‘\ Remember, he has not made a cent off |his farm yet and nothing possible for | some years to come. But his payâ€" ments must be made on his farm. To meet them he gets desperate. He must sell something; so, the cow must go. He struggles along for another year, overworks himself and does not get enough to eat. Finally, he has to go to | the hospital, and dies there, and the Government collects his insurance. That has solved the unemployment situation so far as he is concerned. family would have died in starvation before this. My reason for writing this letter is to try to point out to Mr. Martynse or any other prophet that thinks he has a theory that settles the unemployâ€" ment question, that it can only be setâ€" tled in a practical way. Theory does not work out in practice. I have had years of practical experience in this country in clearing up a farm, and have tried to show that Mr. Martynse‘s theory will not work out in practice. We have thousands of abandoned farms through the country where men have worked like slaves to try to get along, until they have become broken in health and spirit, and crowded with debt until they have become disgusted and walked away and left it. I want Mr. Martynse to bear in mind that every man that is forced to leave his farm helps to swell the ranks of the unemployed. I wonder if Mr. Martynse has any idea of what it costs to clear up cne hundred and sixty acres of land? It just cost Mr. Smith Ballantyne $17,â€" 000.00 to clear it alone, without kuildâ€" ings, and the Government admits it cost $100.00 to $125.00 to clear it. In Mr. Martynse‘s letter this same is adâ€" mitted when it says the settler shall pay 1200.00 for five acres of cleared land and a small house and barn. Now where can a buyer be found to pay that much for a farm? The fact is that the settler can only get $25.00 per acre for his cleared land. That means he has to give $75.00 per acre to the country, or in other words he is putting $75.00 per acre into the farm that he can never get back. Personâ€" ally, I think the Government should stand half the cost of clearing the land, and not the settler to bear the whole burden. The different governments of the country have tried such schemes as Mr. Martynse suggests, but in practice they have proved miserable failures, resulting in abandoned farms and the ranks of the unemployed made larger, and the whole country is just like Oliâ€" ver Goldsmith‘s deserted village. The great philosophner, Newton, says that for every action there is a reâ€" action. The depression caused by the action of the war then the action of our governments in importing unemâ€" ployed from Europe to Canada, have increased .the unemployed in this country. So ~before â€"we put our thoughts into action we should conâ€" sider the reaction and see if it is going to be beneficial to the people of this country or not. But it seems to be a weakness of humanity to get some pet theory and rush to get it into acâ€" tion, never stopping to consider whether the reaction will be good or bad. A desplitch from Toronto says that the financial report of Keora Mines, Ltd., for the period ended Feb. 20, preâ€" sented at the general shareholders‘ meeting Monday, shows liquid asseis of $2,214.84, made up of cash $895.95 and acccounts receivable $1,318.89. The company als~ shows in its assets 2,000,â€" 000 shares of South Keora Mines, Ltd., valued at $500,000. Liabilities are set down as accounts payable of $5,511.05.
