As regards the time occupied in the trips north “(1 south he pointed out that. Mr. Thompson had omitted to say that they played two games in the tive days or in something less than five days, loss of time: whereas the trip to New: Buy occupied almost two dais for one game and that they would have to make a second trip, so that there was very little difference in time. 1itiirtt.

Jas. Heppleston, of Timmins, said that he could not see why two good groups should be weakened and made irito three poor groups in order lo please Haileybury, which land de.. faulted to New Liskeard last year af.. terif had had a home gate.

Geo. Lake of Tim- mings came out strongly in favor of the same grouping' as last year. G. W. Turk of the Falls took the View that dividing into three groups, two of them having only two teams, would hurt hockey. Roy Grills, of New Liskeard, in supporting Mr. Dun- can said that it was not So mueh a question of .distanee as a question of train serviee, that owing to the train schedule there was great loss of time in going up the line to Timmins and Iroquois Falls. A. A. lPin-kney of the C1anadian Soo objected to three divi- sions, saying that three team divisions were no good to start with, and be- sides the play " among lthree divi- sions would take too long and run into soft ice. Sudbury threw a bomb into the camp when Mr, Morrison calmly proposed that Liskeard, North Bay and Haileybury were to be grouped together, and Sndbury be grouped with them. This notion of Sudbury's was taken because the meeting previ- ous had voted to ask the O.H.A. to in- clude the Michigan ‘Suo in the south.. ern group, which was Strongly object. ed to. by Sud'bury. Fred Thompson, E new Liskeai'd, claimed that Tinimins and Iroquois Falls games at New Lis- keard were a losing proposition, that they only got fifty per cent. of the re- ceipts and the accommodation was small. The result. M'tt8 that the tra- velling expenses from Timmins and the' {Halls more than took up their share of the gate. He said that' they ran from $40 to $100 behind every time Iroquois Falls or Timmins play- ed at (Liskeard, He also claimed that it todk five days for the trip north and only one day for the trip to North Bay. Alec Dewar for the Falls, quoted the mileage from Liskeard to North Bay and from Liskeavd to Tim- mins and Porxtitis Junction, to show that Liskeard joining with North Bay wouldnot improve the situation, but make it worse, “that as far as the mile.. age is concerned they would only be a few dollars ahead and expenses and Che big question as far as Timmins is concerned was the grouping.

The '2'tb"t2' in this group got together and drew up a schedule which was sa- tisfaetory. Other Matters of Importance Dealt With at Annual Meeting at North Bay on Saturday. MM.

Cuthbertson, adjustor of Dominion Income Tax, of the Depart- ment of Finance, Ottawa, is in Tim- mins again this week and as usual is ready to give any adxjice or assistance in regard to Income Tax matters. Mr. “Cut‘hbertson hes been in Timmins on a number of occasions in connection with income tax matters and he has good home for every child. If a poor home can be improved by advice and attention, then the' C'.A.S. works along that line. As a last resort only is a child taken from its own home, and then only to be placed in a foster home where the youngster will have its, fair chance. As noted above the work of the Porcupine Branch of the (JAE. has been very successful during the past year and has been well-supported by the public. If the public fully under- stood the ideas and the methods of the CAS. the support would be even more pronounced. Every good citizen should make a point of attending the meeting in the Council Chamber on Wednesday evening next, Nov. 30th at 8.15 p.m. LIBERAL PARTY MEETING IN THEATRE TOMORROW given very valuable assistance to those in doubt about income tax questions.

The very nature of the work does not lend it " advertising of particular cases or details. 'But it may be stated that during the past year the Porcupine C.A.S. has more than justified its existence. _ 'The purpose of the Children's Aid Society may be summed up as "to as- sure a fair chance in life for every child." This means a chance for health, education, decent living and the better things of life. It means a them. Many from Timmins, Schu- macher and other points were present and all agree it was a very happy even ing. There were solos, reeitations, sketches, and good orchestra music, the latter by Messrs. Wilson and Ru.. dolphe. The musical sketches by Mil- er Bros. made a hit. Addresses by Messrs. W. M. Whyte and A. H. Prit- chard were tislo enjoyed ind appreei- ated. The annual meeting of the Porem. pine branch of the Children 's Aid So- eiety will be held in the Council Cham her, Timmins, on Wednesday evening of next week, Nov. 30th. at 8.15 p.m. At this meeting the reports of the oMeers for the past year will he re- eeived and officers elected for the en- suing year. ‘ m, The Porcupine Branch of the Child- ren's Aid Society has passed through a successful and very useful year. The work accomplished may be considered remarkable in view of the general dif- lieulties always facing such efforts and the fact that this was the first year of the Branch. During the year just passed the Porcupine Branch has done a large amount of very useful and helpful 'work for the community, Reports for Past Year to be Received And officers Elma for anuinz Year.

As, the applications to be placed on the list had to be made personally, each voter had to look after the mat- ter for himself or herself. ' Tiiere was not a single application made to have any name removed from the list as prepared. There may be some on the list who are not entitled to vote on account of not being British subjects or for other cause. No ap- plieations, however, were made for the striking, off of any such names, the' work of the registrar being generally recognized as having been carefully done so far as the names placed on his list were concerned. - If there is any man or woman 'whu should be on the. list and who has been left off and who is determined to blame the Government for this, despite the Get that the Government is in no way directly or indirectly to 'blame,-sseill if any person is absolutely set upon blaming the Government then please blame the Farmer's Goverment. A Dance is announced for Friday evening of this week, Nov. 25th. at the McIntyre Recreation Hall, Selsu- maoher, to which all are cordially in.. vited. l Mr. E. H. Hill, Revising Officer for ‘the Town of Timmins for the Voters' Lists to be used in the coming Domi- nion Election, on Monday night com- pleted the work of holding sittings for the revision of the lists as prepared by the local registrar some weeks ago. The sittings for the revision of the lists as eertifled by the registrar/were continued for a full six days, conclud- ing 'Monday night. The list, as pre- pared by the registrar, had 1616 names, and in the week for revision 120 names have been added, thus bringing the.total on the list as now itnally revised to 1736 names. There is reason for believing, that there are a number of names that might be on the list that are not there. The work of the registrar was done as thorough- ly as possible but it would be imposs- ible for him to get all the names. It was for this very reason that the' re- vising oifieer was appointed and the sittings held, so that those left off the registrar's list might get on the final list. 'Many could have had their names added had they taken tthe trouble to make the necessary application. Now their opportunity is past and they have no one to blame but themselves. _' pit mm nu um um i' fllll Ilillilllllilll [1mm Of This Number Only 120 Were Add- ed by Appeals to Revising Officer.

Mitchell, of Cobalt, re- eeived a flattering reception and jus- tified it by his capable and pleasing address in which he dealt with the DU- blie issues of the day. In referring to Mr. King, he said he had heard him recently, and going to the meeting with an open mind he had been great- ly disappointed. Mr, King, he said, had a great mass of what appeared to be carping criticism, but he had nothing whatever of a constructive nature. He found a lot of fault, but had on word as to anything he would do himself if his party were placed in offiee, Mr. Mitchell read from the records of the House to suggest how undependa'ble Mackenzie King ap- peared as a finaneial authority and in other ways. Referring to the al.. liance of the Labour and Farmer groups, Mr. Mitchell showed the im- possibility of this combination of class government working to the best in- terests of the people. The Farmer movement and Labour had nothing in common; they were opposed in such vital matters as the eight-hour day, wage scales, ete.; and the speaker drew a picture of the ditliculties of his friend Angus McDonald in voting for instance on the eight-hour day ques- tion, with his farmer and Labour par- ty friends alike having the power of recall. "If he voted for short hours the Farmer party would recall him, and if he voted for longer hours the Labour party would want his reeall," suggested Mr. Mitchell. "In either case,” he continued, "Long Angus would! not: be any longer in the House" One of the interrupters having asked for information on the Riordan Cout- pany notes for income tax, Mr. Mit- chell gave a clear explanation of the matter, also pointing out that a num- ber of farmers in the west had been similarly aeeornmodated because there gxmuarly tteeommodateti because there there was no other sane way of deal- ing with people who for the moment could not pay but who had security for future paypent. Mr. Mitchell said that the Riordan Company being in passing flnsrncial stringency, the, Go- vernment had accepted their notes for income tax and business profits tax due. ‘The only' other recourse was to push the industry to the wall and take a chance of getting part of the. taxes, from the wreck.

The speaker explained the necessity of tariif protection to save the workers of this country from the unfair coni- petition of European and Asiatie workers whose pay was ridiculously inadequate to maintain any standard of living equal to that desired in Can.. ada. 1n emphasizing-the evils of class government Mr. Stockdale paid spe- SergtAMajor McNamara, MJP.P., who was expected to speak here, was un. able to be present on tteeourrt of ill- ness. His place was taken by Mr. Stnelidale, of Toronto, a prominent Labour Union man. Mr. Stoekdale said that as a working men and a Union man he was supporting Hon. Arthur Meighen in preference to either Mr. King or Mr. Crerar, the leaders of the other parties. He de- tailed his reasons for this stand. He thought an alliance between Labour and the Farmers as class groups Im- natural and not in the interests of the country. Mr. Crerar was a high- salaried employee of one of the most 1r-eaehing: corporations in Canada, ent speakers kept up a running fire of interruption. Mr. T. H.

Mr. Mitchell dealt very effect- ively with the tariff issue, his facts suggesting that in the general trend ihrouglront the world of raising ta- riffs, it would be ruinous for Canada to drop her trade protecting wall. Mr. Mitchell concluded with a few apt re- ferenees to the candidate, Mr. -Keu- nedy, "a man of the North, with his business, his interests, Iris home and his heart in this North Land.” The several selections given by the Band delighted all. Under Mr. Wol.. no's leadership the Band promises to continue its. progress and improve- ment. At present it is a band to be proud of. The variety of selections given by the Band Sunday evening and the uniform excellence with which they were rendered certainly pleased all. One of the specially attractive numbers was “Fraternity Overture," in which Mr. Folno took the comet solo part very capably. Solos by Mrs. Acton and Mr. Jas. Geils won unstint, ed applause and deserved the enthu- siastie cncores given. Violin solos by Mr, Victor Rodolphe were also given with striking talent, and delighted the music. lovers. Mr: W. Dalzell's ren- dition of “The Wreck ot' the Titan- ie," was a recitation well given and much appreciated. Mrs. J. w. Faith- ful played the accompaniments in her usual capable way. Another feature of the special numbers on the pro- gramme was the instrumental duet, clarinet and guitar by two members of the Band, Mr. Pappone being the clarinet player. It is the intention of the Band to have similar band concerts every couple of weeks or so during tlle'win- ter. This will be very pleasing news to the public, as the first concert Sun- day evening last was thoroughly en- joyed and appreciated. tyi r. Kennedy was given a good re- eeption, but only made a brief address as the hour was getting late. He re- ferred to his platform as published in circulars to the electors and in news- paper advertisements, and said he thought the electors would agree with him that it was a platform such as, this that the North Land needed. He promised, it elected, to do his best for the advancement of the interests of the North Land, "Yes, and I'll do my best for the North Land it I'm not eleeted," he added. m asked in con- c4usion that the electors should give a careful reading and consideration to his platform, and if it met their att- l proval he asked their vote and mW- port in the election on Dee. 6th. . . A motion picture film was also shown during the evening. The collection taken at the door totalled $108.57. At Iroquois Falls on Saturday, Nov. 26th. and Wednesday, Nov. 30th. local talent at' Iroquois Falls will present the comic opera, "Captain Cross.. bones, or the Pivate's Bride." There is a east of forty, all local talent, in- eluding chorus and orchestra. Judg- ing from the programmes issued this week, this comic opera has a very amusing plot and an attractive array of situations, with lots of very bright and pleasing music. And judging from the clever work of the entertain.. ers at the Associated Boards of Trade Banquet at the Falls recently, just to mention one example, the Falls cer- tainly seems to have the talent to pre- sent an entertainment of this charac- ter in very effective fashion. Iroquois Falls always does well whatever it at- tempts, and the presentation of this comic opera will undoubtedly be some- thing well worth while. It is likely that the Iroquois Falls talent will pre- IROQUOIS FALLS TALENT PRESENTING COMIC OPERA.
