POOR ADVICE

A recent editorial in the CordoYa Times discusses the value to Cor doVa ot it's newest enterprise, the AanDut fisheries, and says:
 If every man and woman
 would make 1t a point to talk
 tn daily conversation, and write
 in weekly letters, about the live
 bait available in CordoYa, the
 nearness to the Ilsnlng banks,
 the lce-crusher and storage and
 shipping facilities, this industry
 would be given tremendous
 boost"
 The woe and heart break is be- yond computation that would follow such advice il taken literally.
 Imagine a girl in Terre Haute, Indiana, or Boston, or anywhere in the world tor that matten, re- celVlng letter from her beloved in tar-oft COrdoya in which tender sentiments were interpolated with enthusiastic data on the live bait available in CordoVa; or references to that night in June" succeeded by remarks on the ice-cnusher!
 Ninety-nine girls out ot a hun dred would react to such letters with the decision that the writer was not MT. Right after all; a broken, engagement would follow and CordoYa would have one less family in prospect. Usually edi- torIal advice may be followed with great confidence, but in this in- stance the editor had more zeal for the halibut industry than wis dom for the young readers:

HINDUs COMMIT BODY OF CHILD
 TO FLAMES

PRINCE RUBERT-The infant son of MT. and Mrs. Tiskin Singh. of Seal Cove, was committed to fire, at Fairview yesterday. After a serv- ice in Hayners Chapel, the little casket was conveyed out to the cemetery, where pyre made from deal ends and boards stood. It had been put up the day previous.
 A good deal of rain had fallen. Space had been reserved in the center of the pile, for the coffin. Once it was placed there, it was covered with more wood. Then paper and shavings were ignited, and in a few moments there was a brisk fire. As it cracked, the voice of one of the Hindus slowly chant ing, could be heard.
 As the fire died down, others of the Asiatic party joined in what appeared to be a low toned chant. or prayer. Then, when nothing had been left except ashes, on which the rain was falling, the mourners left.-Empire.

FISH REDUCTION PLANTS WORK
 DAY AND NIGHT

PORT ALBERNI, B. C., April IS Out on the west coast of Van couver Island, where herring are manufactured into oil and fertilizer the run of fish has been the great est in ten years during the last few weeks. The reduction works have been operating day and night.
 Utilization of herring in redue- tion works is not ordinarily per mitted in Vancouver Island areas, but this year, with a view of as- sisting in meeting employment needs, the department allowed it to be carried on and, north of Bar clary Sound, the herring fishing season was extended until the end of February.
 While the fish were exceptional ly abundant, they turned out to be very low in oil content so that the oil production was small as com pared with the quantity of herring landed by the fishermen. On the other hand, however, the meal pro duced was of very fine quality.
 Farther north in the province. up in the Prince Rupert area, there have also been some large catches of herring. One haul made by a pure seine boat, for instance, brought in approximately 125 tons of fish. and some of them had to be freed because it was impossible to handle them. Use of herring for reduction purposes has been per mitted in this part of the province for some years-Prince Rupert Elm pire.

An eight-Iine Assoclated Press item last week reported tragedy for every two lines: An Ohio man poured gasoline on his wife and stepson and set them afire so that they died from the burns. He then committed suicide by hanging him self with a log chain after fatally stabbing a boarden who had caused the jealousy which had driven him insane.
