Rain interfered with the game and a large part of the crowd left, but after the shower in the second innings the giris resumed the battle. Timmins girls won. the score being 25 to 13. Jack The Advance of July 30th, 1919, had the following front page article: "When asked as to the progress of the threeâ€" day campaign to raise $10,000 for a club house for the G.W.V.R., as anâ€" nounced last week, Secretary W. S. Macpherson said this morning that everything was goim well and the canvassers were getting good results. though no returns had been made from the first two days of the campaign. As will be noted by the advertisement in this issue, the committee is issuing a booklet to explain the plans and purâ€" poses of the campaign, and that the time for the drive has been extended. As the advertisement phrases it:â€"*"The Citizens‘ Committee appointed to inâ€" stitute? collections for the Memorial Fund of the Veterans find a certain haziness in the minds of many as to the details of the plan. Accordingly, the campaign time has been extended, and a booklet prepared giving full dâ€" tails." At the regular mecting of Tisdale township council, held at South Porâ€" cupine twenty years Frank C. Evans was appointed clerkâ€"treasurer to succeed J. R. Myers, who had resignâ€" ed. "The township council beliecve they have boen very fortunate in securâ€" ing a man of the capabilities of Mr. Evans, and in this there will be very general agimement," said The Advance at the time. Twenty years of good service to the township in the meanâ€" time has proven that Mr. Evans has lived up to the good expectations held of him in 1919. over the Csobalt mines and conduct them, the profits to be applied to the payment of Canada‘s war debt.

Twonty years ago The Advance quotâ€" ed from The Toronto Mail and Emâ€" pire‘s interview with Hon. CGideon Roâ€" bertson, Dominion Minister of Labour, in regard to the strike at Cobalt. Hon. Mr. Robertson was quoted as saying that the strike was caused by the reâ€" fusal of thr mines to deal with the men. This attitude, he thought, reâ€" sulted from a prejudice against the Western Federation of Miners. This prejudice at one time was fully justiâ€" fied, ho considered, but the Miners‘ Union of 1919 should not be classed with its predecessors of ten years preâ€" vious in his estimation. The men had agreed to Government proposals for a conferene and discussion, but the mines declined the suggestion. The men urged the Government to taks ers Cheques. ..

Mcst of the ore extracted in the first half of this year has come from the 200 and 400â€"foot levels, where all proâ€" duction had previously been taken from and the grade in the second quarter has been lower than expected. Ore is beinz developed on the 8600, 800, 1,000 and 1,200â€"foot levels and a fair proâ€" portion of production in the last half of the year will come from these new levels but work in ore on these levels is not sufficiently advanced to make a forecast as to grade. Pamour: Porcupine to Pay Seven Cents a share for half Year Operating costs were higher, so far as total was concerned, but per ton costs were low, figures being $791,463, against $753,611, or $2.75 a ton against $3.19, Reserve for taxes was $11,450 against $25,000. Miscellaneous. income was $13,015, against $4,112, which left profit, before reserve for depreciation and preâ€"operating writeâ€"offs of $478,795, against $847,488,. Reserve for depreciaâ€" tion and writeâ€"offs amounted to $128,â€" 400 acainst $136,900. As announced previously, a twoâ€"year heavy development program was planâ€" ned for the purpose of determining the ore possibilities and probable average mine grade. This campaign has been in progress all year, cost being approxâ€" imately equal to the mining cost. Toronto, August 9.â€"Due to treatment of a lower grade of ore, Pamour Porâ€" cupine Mines, subsidiary of Noranda Mines, had reduced earnints in the first six months of this year as comâ€" pared with the comparable period of 1938. (Estimated net profit was $350,â€" 395, or 7 cents a share on the 5,000,000 shares issued, compared with $710,588, or 14.21 cents a share in the 1938 period.

This was after marketing expenses. Reference was made in The Advance twenty years ago to the banquet given at Cochrane to the ‘returned soldiers of that town.

Mr. S. J. Dempsay, president of the Cochrane General Patriotic Associaâ€" tion, acted as chairman for the evening, having assozciated with him, Mayot Carter and other representative citiâ€" zens. Over one hundred people sat down to the banquet. An address to the returned men was read by Mayor Carter, and the men back from overâ€" seas were given a very hearty "Welcome Home." Bellevieux umpired the game and livâ€" ’ed to smile about it. Miss Lillian Mcâ€" Carthy was pittcher and Miss Carmel Costello, catcher, for Timmins. The others on the Timmins lineâ€"up wrre: ‘Mary Daher, first base; Mary Downey, ’sccond base; Nellie Studor, third; Jean Roberts, right field; Barbara McLean, ‘left field; Fern McCarthy, centre field; !Bertha Charette, short stop.

One of the featurcs of the game that was especially commeidâ€" ed upon was the way the girls stole !bases, regardless of risks. The â€"catchâ€" ing of a foul fly in the first inning by Mrs. RBrown was another special feature, Twenty years ago Mr. D. Deacon, who had been the pspular manager of the Northern Canada Supply Co. store at Ssouth Porcupine for some years, comâ€" pleted arrangements for the purchass of the stock and the taking over of the business of the store. Mr. Kennath Deacon, of the Hollinger office staff, was associated with his father in the new business venture. Twenty years a~o the Hollinger won the town leagzue baseball championship. The final game that cinched the honâ€" ours for the Hollinger was a contest with the Firemen, the Hollinger winâ€" ning 15 to 11 in a lively and intrrestâ€" ing battle.

'Furthcrmore, we had not heard of !patcnt pirates because under our law patent piracy is, I think, not possible, although of that I am not sure. But it was brought home to Banting and Best and their colleagues that, though insulin was only in the initial stages of its development had not been perfected for clinical use, it was Oobâ€" vious not only that there would be great and ursent demand for the proâ€" duct but also that some material _matelal improvement in the product would probably be made quite soon, which improvement might ‘be made outside the university by some party actuated by profit motives who mignt cbtain a patent that could be adminâ€" istered purely for his own benefit or the benefit of his company, were the University of Toronto not to obtain a basic patent to which improvement patents would subsidiary,. "Fear of the dangers of such a deâ€" velopment proved within a few months to have been warranted. A material improvement in the process of preâ€" this improved process was patentable, it could have developed that the whole world would have had to pay excissive tribute to the inventor of this process had there not been a basic patent standing in the way, and had our nocks not been saved by a happy comâ€" bination of other fortunate cireumâ€" stances. It was only in these cireumâ€" stances that it proved possible to avoid dangers which were originally feared and which sasily might have actually materialized within a year of the first clinical use of insulin. This fact and also the story behind a pattnt of a machine to reduce and prevent wore recently revealâ€" ed at a conference on medical patents conducted by the American Medical Association at Chicago. During the discussion, F. Lorne Hutâ€" chinson, Toronto Comptroller of the Connauzht Laboratories and Execuâ€" tive Secretary of the Insulin Commitâ€" tee, University of Toronto, pointed out that though the need of . protection through patenting was not frequent, the case of insulin was one example which did demonstrate that need. » Toronto, Aug. 9â€"It is now 17 years since insulin was first used clinically but in spite of its worldâ€"wide fams, few persons, even in Canada, have ever heard that the discovery of Sir Fredorick Banting and Dr. Best is protected by a basic patent..

In regions where there is not a too heavy rainfall or where watering is not carried out, applicaâ€" tions of copper nitrate have been found advantageous., Dr. McRostie of Ontario Acricultural College has had remarkâ€" able results in controlling dandelions by this method. He recommends two applications in July, August, or Sepâ€" tember, at the rate of one and a half pounds of copper nitrate to seven and a half gallons of water per 1,000 square feet, The young seedlings woud have to be killed by application the following year. It has not been determined how many years this application could be used safely, for ultimately the accumuâ€" lation of copper would become toxic to the grass itself, The nitrate, will, of course, stimulate the grass and the copâ€" per suppresses or kills the dandelions It is well worth a trial, says Mr. Davis, where dandelions are very troublesome. improved by some one who might take a patent on the improvement and colâ€" lect excessive royalties from it.
