provides for equal treatment of the subjects and citizens of the contracting parties as to residence an! travel to carry on trade.Signature of President Coolidge on the new immigration hill does not settle the question of Japanese exclusion from the point of view of the Japanese Government, it was indicated here yesterday.Belief that the immigration hill, with its clause excluding aliens ineligible to citizenship, such as the Japanese, did not represent the sentiment of the people of thn United States as a whole, was expressed by a high official in an interview.\u201cWe known that the present American administration is opposed to the exclusion clause, both from the President\u2019s statement and the attitude of the President and Hughes throughout this controversy.\u201d he asserted.\u201cAnd we understand that conditions in this Congress have been abnormal.We believe that exclusion does not represent the will of the American people.\u201cWe still hope something can be

As a philosopher has written \u2018the GAVE LANTERN LECTURE AT McLEOD SCHOOL.The annual meeting of the Quebec branch of the British and Foreign Bible Society was held in the McLeod School, Brompton Road, on Friday evening, May 23rd.Rev.G.McLennan, general secretary, gave j a very instructive address, illustrated by views, which showed many interesting scenes in South America.A delightful feature in the evening\u2019s entertainment were two duets, one rendered by Miss Annie McElrca ;and Mr.William Seaward, and the ( second by Mrs.W.McElrca and Miss !

This is in error and we had to: change this entry.These tools are! included in the account of \u201croad equipment, assets.\u201d STSTEM RELATIVE TO STORES \u201cIn 1922 the following system was in use.The orders, debiting stores came from two sources; From the purchasing agent with invoices of the goods mirchased with instructions to debit stores: From the outside personel of the road department for expenses incurred in securing raw material, rock, sand, gravel which were entered in stores and duly debited.The store credits came from one source'; from the outside personnel of the road department, both for the goods delivered and the raw material used in the work.\u201cOur responsibility consists of and is confined to saying; \u201cso many debits, so many credits; then take notice note of material on hand at the beginning of the yea\" and establish the balance at the end of the year.\u201cHow can we be held responsible for who enters or leaves stores if we receive no advice or report.Thu auditors did not say that what was missing in the stores was our fault as a matter of fact it as a Te' suit of our statements debiting sto res that they found what they ao tually complain of.Again the responsibility it not ours.It should have been stated.\u201cIt should be carefully noted that the bookkeeping staff has never had and has not control directly or indirectly, of the stores.My ideas in this connection are weil known and we will discuss same when my counter report of Sep-ter 1923 is studied.You Will Find t many aids to a meal if you consult our salesmen.Our aim is the best of quality at a price that will not annoy you.Phone us if we do not already call on you.ÂLLÂTT Higb-Clas* Bread Specialist Phones 724-W, 724-J.The genuine cigars are branded They are worth 2 for 25c but it is unfair to the manufacturer to sell them for more than 10c straight.3 for 25c yields a decent profit.Connoisseurs will show their appreciation by increased consumption.Increased consumption reduces overhead.EDWARDS WEEK-END s:ecials We want to show you what $5.00 will buy at Edwards\u2019 for the balance of this week- Your choice of any refrigerator in our window on a first payment of only $5.00.Your choice of any Bed Spring and Mat- a -first payment of only $5.00.Your choice of\tany Congoleum Rug,\tany size, any color,\tonly $5.00 down.\t Your choice of any Kitchen Cabinet in stock.Price $36.00 to $90.00.Only $5.00 down.Your choice of any Couch Sofa, Lounge, Bed Couch, Etc., on our floors, only $5.00 down.Your choice of any Phonograph, Sonora, Columbia, McLagan or Gold Medal only $5.00 down.The balance in weekly payments.small EDWARDS FURNITURE 00.Wiggett Electric Company Ltd.SHERBROOKE.ARE YOU PAYING POWER FACTOR PENALTIES?This is a condition we can remedy with a llelscy Static Condenser.Investigate.FOR ALL KINDS OF REPAIRS CALL 435.S3S5 and cherished, by the example of friendship and tolerance, was one that could not but raise the individual who lived in their day, above the petty weakness of the narrow minded; because it Irresistibly, forcibly and successfully inculcated the truth.\u2018Thou :-:halt Love thy Neighbor as Thyself\u2019.\u201d Rev.G.E.Read Moved Vote of Thanks At the conclusion of his remarks, the speaker was given a splendid ovation following which the Rev erected in front of the, pre-.ent Court1 people know that they cannot reach !

timber requires a century or more for replacement and soil impoverished by wheat growing must have its fertility restored by artificial means, but barring the destruction of a water power by wholesale deforestation, misguided human action or a cataclysm of nature, a source of hydro energy perpetually renews itself like the widow\u2019s cruse of Scripture, and present exploitation and exportation to the maximum entail no drain upon the future.Provided full regard is given first to home requirements, and precaution are taken to make any agreements for supplying power abroad terminable upon due notice should occasion arise, Canada should welcome and take full advantage of all opportunities for selling across the border a product for which there is a large and constantly-increasing demand, at highly profitable prices, and the furnishing of which involves no exhaustion or diminution of a natural resource and no danger of shortage in the domestic market.Above all other considerations is that the surplus Canadian power should not be exported at prices below home consumption figures.The advantages our waters give in production of electrical energy ought not to be given another country, nor the economical weapons we possess be used to our own detriment.\u201d The point emphasized above that the power resources of the country are not subject to the same wasting and depreciation as some other resouces suggests the continuous source of wealth to this country which lies in the water falls of its rivers.Far better, however, would it be to harness these to industries within this country than to export the power to turn the wheels of industry in another country.Canada's potential electric power, in any event, is a great asset and will have an important bearing upon the future prosperity of this Dominion.-*- PARAGRAPHS A republic is a land in which the swelling of a bank acount is quickly communicated to the head.* * \u2022 And if those who inherit the earth are not meek, the deficits will teach them to be.\u2022 \u2022 \u2022 Some chaps feel like regular he-men, and some are requred to go shopping with their wives.* * * The loudest patriots invariably are those who are willing to have you die for their country.The little fellow must come across until he learns to incorporate and issue himself stock dividends.* * \u2022 Common people are those who cling to the hope that each new \u201cliberator\u201d will let them in on the deal.* * * If you knock a man people will say you\u2019re jealous of I him.If you praise him they\u2019ll say you\u2019re his hired press : agent.C.C.GILBERT WAS ORDAINED AT MEGANTIC TRIAL SOVIET IN PORTUGAL HAS COLLAPSED Sherbrooke Man, a Recent Grad-! uate of Queen\u2019s, Takes Charge1 of Knox Church.Experiment in Little Comes to an End.Parish LAKE MEGANTIC, May 28.\u2014 The Presbytery of Quebec recently met in Knox Church for the purpose of ordaining and inducting Mr.Claude C.Gilbert into the pastorate of Knox Church.Lake Me-gantic.The pulpit of Knox Church recently became vacant through the resignation of Rev.J.Cormack, M.A., who has served the Presbyter- J PRESS COMMENT * t*************** ******* + *\u2022» LIFE.( San Francisco Chronicle) i It is a futile process.Man puts in half his time hardening his muscles and the other half hardening his arteries.sss BB88MK REV.CLAUDE C.GILBERT, GLORIFYING CRIME.(Montreal Herald) The glorification of crime and criminals is nowhere recently ordained at Megantic.;

well-being their exactions in wages, hours of labor and extra privileges grew so onerous that the big land-owners finally agreed to put thoroughgoing communism into effect.The land was turned over to the whole population with the condition that the proceeds were to be divided between labor and owner.As a result offers for allotments of land poured in, and now the new landlords are trying to regain their old status of laborers sure of day wages.The new' tenants invoked the high cost of labor and living, and all the old complaints, to excuse offers of about one-third less than the land is really worth, and the scheme has collapsed.-\u2022- FIVE MET DEATH IN FIRE IN HOTEL AT NEWARK, N.J.Flames Broke Out Suddenly on Third Floor of Hotel\u2014Spread Very Rapidly, (Associated Press Despatch) NEWARK, N.J., May 28.\u2014 Five persons are known to have been burned to death in a fire which broke out suddenly in the third storey of Windsor Hotel, a men's rooming house on Halsey Street in the centre of the automobile tire district.The fire spread almost instantly to the entire third and fourth floors and enveloped several auto tire shops on the street floor.Three alarms were immediately sounded.With more than forty lines of hose playing on the flames the fire continued beyond control.Chief Moore stated that he knew there were four bodies in the flame-ravaged structure, and that he expected to find at least fifteen more.Three bodies were brought out while the flames were raging.Two more were found on the top floor.More than one hundred roomers occupied the building last

he and his associates planned to settle at least two million people in the Prairies.It sounds like a huge undertaking, as, indeed, it is, but we are confident of fulfilling our ambition.U we receive the assistance of ail the people of the West, it will be accomplished within the present decade.The West could absorb easily a round half-million people a year.In 1913, the high-water mark of Canadian immigration, more than 400,000 people came to the Dominion to find new homes, and what has been done once can not only be done again, hut can even be eclipsed.However, the co-operation of all the people is essenti&L It is of avail to brinjc hunrJ-reds of thousands of further settlers, capable of being converted into law-abiding, persevering and thrifty citizens, unless they can be made to feel quite at home.And I am confident the people of the West will do this.Such an increase of population would benefit not only thf; West but the Kanf.To attract more people it is necessary that the
