It developed that the ordinary small stableâ€"there are scores of them, some with only one horse in themâ€"has a livestock investment of about three thousand dollars, computed on the basis of what a man would pay for three or four selling platers. This capital outlay, or equine inventory, is expected to carry an owner, trainer, stableboy, and jockey; to pay entry fees, transportation, feed bills and other nscessary expenses. The income comes, theoretically, from the purses won in the season. A four horse stable would cost, it turned out, about $50,000 norse , mitted to their hor: developed stableâ€"â€"th with only a year to maintain. The owners in the small time that win that much are rare. It would be a fortunate business of any kind that could turn over a three thouâ€" sand dollar stock seventeen times in a season. The natural inference is that the owner makes money by betting and that, in collusion with his equally impeâ€" cunious associates, he makes certain of his chow by means that give the public some uneasiness of mind, when they happen to give the matter any ha ing that goes with it, attract a follswing, many of whom appear ve lost, if they ever possessed, se of proportion. There is the fan for instance, who never goes a race track but gambles on ‘ and on what the cigar store ind on _the bart rners and he bookies d in pool t with all d â€" retiring en his nag * »-_\‘_ thought. "Of course the public is suspicious, but it gambles just the same. Howâ€" ever, from time to time a new sport comes along that promises to be crook proof, such as the dog racing game, which went over with eclat in England. "Theâ€" dogs," said the betting fraternity "have no jockeys to mislead them. When the dog is turned loose he just runs after that rabbit and that‘s all there is to it.". Just the same, the time came when people began to question there is to it.". Just the same, the time came when people began to question the influence of the trainer on the pups, through control of rationing. The old suspicions arose again, especially when famous racers reversed form a few times in big races. "Now there comes along something in the way of a competitive sport that promises to satisfy everyone. in New York they have introduced cockroach racing and it would be a very hardâ€" boiled egr indeed who would suspect suuch innocent creatures of dark and dubious deeds. Nobody could ever ride a cockroach, for one thing. It would be difficult to imagine what would put one off its feed, having been raised on sink drippings and sewage from early youth. The possibilities of outside inâ€" terference would therefore appear to be reduced to the minimum and a crookâ€"free sport is thus indicated. "Th> method of inducing the animals to rrace is highly ingenious and based on a natural instinct. The cockâ€" ratches selected for the race are placed in test tubes at the end of a board, the stoppers are removed, a strong light is thrown on the board and the roaches dart for holes at the far end. First in is named winner. One of the beauties of the new sport is that if the patron of the new sport is that if the patron is not satisfied with the perfomance of the professional stable he can bring his own entry. This cannot be done very handily in horse racing. Another good feature is that the race track can be carried around under the arm. "The new sport should go big up North. There certainly is no lack of raw material for racers in Cobalt and round about. It would not be necessary to establish May first as a residence rule date and import ringers from the south; the homie brews could hold their own for stamina, speed and agâ€" gressiveness with those from any localâ€" ity. The writer once disputed possesâ€" sion of a house with the roaches for six months in Cobalt and they finally won. Although they did not actually display a signed lease, they provided all other necessary evidence of occupational rights. They came to like Keatings and other powerful powders and proâ€" bably missed them afterwards. A neighbour had a dislike for their comâ€" pany also and a silent duel, was fought between the two houses;, a regular weekly migration took place as the barâ€" rags got too hot for the cockroaches in one house and they moved to the other. They won by retreating, like Wellingâ€" ton in Spain, and lived to tell their grandchildren of their successful straâ€" tegy. ter on the staff who follows the ponies and he immediately picked holes in the theory that cockroach race could not be fixed. ‘"Why," said he, "you couldn‘t tell one cockroach from another and they could ring in dead certs on you; unless you have them numbered.

Besides, they could load their feet down with syrup or cornstarch, or they could gum up the track on one side with varnish or someâ€" thing. They could put a big cockroach . | in a small bottle or make the exit holes too tight.

The only truly helpful and constructive thought that cam» out of the discussions with the racing fan was that work would be found for a considerable number of unemployed in painting numbers on cockroaches‘ backs." There are Still Men Who Have Active Consciences ‘The Inspector of Income Tax at Vancouver received on April 11, 1933, three Canadian postal money orders for $100 each from an unknown taxâ€" payer, with a note attached that the sender estimated that this was the amount he cwed ‘"in back tax." Many people toâ€"day are inclined to think that most people are not affected as much by ‘the call of conscience as the folks of an older generation used to be. They can quote examples by the yard in apparent proof of this theory. They also point to the idea that the waning of the popular belief in an acâ€" tive and literal hell hereafter has had much to do with the weakening of the vo‘ce of conscience so far as the avetrâ€" age man is concerned. Whether the thsory is upheld by the facts is a difâ€" ferent matter. There are innumerable cases that might be cited to show the ccntrary. Below will be found some cases where the voice of conscience seemed to work without any fear of ccnsequences behind it. The fact that th> remittances were voluntary and all anonymOus proves that there was no driving force except that of an awakâ€" ened conscience. None of those conâ€" cerned had any fear of being caught, or they would have added to their danâ€" ger by rousing curiosity. In case they are found out later the payments made necw ‘will help at all, as beig anonymous, they can not be credited to any ‘ particular person. Accordingly thess cases may be cited as instances when men did the right thing simply for the sake of the right itself and without fear or favour. Toronto Mail and Empire:â€"Gaston B. Means testified under oath that he knows who kidnapped the Lindbergh baby. Unhappily Mr. Means is not the kifid of man who would always be believed under oath. The Inspector cof Income Tax at Vanâ€" ccouver, B.C., received recently an anâ€" onymous communication enclosing $605 with a note stating it represented inâ€" come taxes of previcus years. and was remitted "to quieten conscience." A certified cheque for $700 was reâ€" ceived recently by the Collector of Naâ€" tional Revenue, Montreal, as "consâ€" cilence money."

We Save Y ou Money Every Day "Kirkland Lake was bombarded from the air last Saturday when millions of hail stones pelted the community durâ€" ing a sudden freak of the weather. The barrage of tiny ice spheres from the sky fell upon roofs, streets and open areas as pedestrians hurried for cover. The downpour "broke" shortly after noon and was over in a few minutes. Previously the air had been humid and oppressive.

Their efforts are also helping to make the town more attracâ€" tive, St. Mary‘s Journalâ€"Argus:â€"Some propertyâ€"owners who are out of work "Oh, well, he‘ll do till we get a proper one." The same way with Kirkland Lake‘s hail storm. "It‘ll do till they get a proper one!" In the meantime, here is The Northern News‘ description of that Kirkland Lake hail storm of May 13th:â€" Kirkland Lake thinks it had a hail storm on May 13th, but if it had the same kind of hail storm on May 19th that Timmins had then Kirkland knows now that the May 13th storm wasn‘t a storm at all. When a promiâ€" nent local man was called a poor brute or some such unflattering term and some one else protested against the application of the epithet, a former deputy chief of police in I1%mmins soothed everybody‘s feelings by saying: The Dome F. C. strengthened thei lead in the first half of the N. 0. F A on Saturday last by defeating the Hol linger eleven by a score of 52. Hollingerâ€"Rowe, goal; McWhinney and Welsh, backs; Robson, Boyd and McConnell, halfâ€"backs; Mitchell, Roy, Johnston, Mieridith and Young forâ€" wards. Morris, reserve, T. Johnson, referee. Comments Strong criticism by the spectators was made against the referee in his decisions but there is on thing they must bear in mind; a referee may not see as much as a spectator, and a specâ€" tator does not see everything a referee sees, but in the above match, which was outstanding, was the offside rule. The referee would stop the play when a man was standing offside, which he should not have done, unless the said man interfeéres with the play. Dome F. C. Leading District Football The match was fast and there was little to choose between the two teams with the exception that the Dome played the better combination. The leather was kept going from end to end and in nineteen minutes Rowe was beaten by Rodgers from aA wellâ€"placed kick by Rudkin from the corner flag. One minute later the Hollinger was awarded a corner and Roy beat Baxter from Mitchell‘s flag kick. Five minutes from halftime Hollinger were awarded another corner Mitchell took the kick and placed the ball niceâ€" ly; in the scrimmage for the ball one of the Dome players was charged from behind, his hands struck the ball and a penalty was awarded, Roy scoring. The Hollinger seemed as if they could not get going. Their passing and plays were very erractic. Once Morris sent over a dandy centre and Young missed Domeâ€"Baxter goal; Foster and Mcâ€" Guire, backs; Munroe, Crawford and Gardiner, halfâ€"backs; Rudkin, Cook, White, Winning and Rodgers, forwards; Fell and Ferniec, reserves. KIRKLAND LAKE THINKS IT HAD HAIL STORM MAY 13 Sautrday‘s Maitch Won by Dome. HMol linger Put up Nice Game. Field was Slippery, . Dome Takes Nice Lead by 5 to 2 Score., The Dome changed their lineâ€"up for the second half, Fernie coming on in place of Cook. The Dome broke away again and the half being only three minutes old, White again beat Rowe from a pass by Fornie. The Dome Again got possession and Rudkin dribbled his way down touch and centered to White who was uncovâ€" ered and he scored with a nice drive. The Hollinger found their feet again, with McWhinney leading the attack and twice Baxter was called on to save and the way he dived for them was nobody‘s business for they were low and for the corner. The next dangerous move and the last was when White skied the ball over the bar. $ a fine chance to score by misâ€"kicking and when he finally did kick it Baxter was in position to save. The Dome took up the offensive again and were awarded a penalty. White took the spot kick and skied the leather over the bar. The Hollinger now got in close and three times Baxter pulled off sensaâ€" tional saves before he got relief. I have spoken to cther settlers and they feel the same as I do about it. There are about 25 families in the setâ€" tlement including the old settlers who have been in the district 15 to 20 years. Very few of the settlers have been sent in. The majority came‘ of their own accord with the same idea as I hadâ€" that if we could make a "go" we were only tco willing. This is the best place for a man with a family, one who is willing to wIrk. But they should not come up here in the fall of the year. Spring is the Settler Delighted With Life in North With all the criticism showered upon the Dominion Government for the workinz cut of the "backâ€"toâ€"theâ€"land" plan of settling the unemployed on lands in the North and elsewhere in Canada, a word on the other side is particularly welecome.
