ELECTRICAL STORM.
This district was visited by a sev-
ere electrical storm and heavy down-
pour of rain on Sunday evening.
For a short period the rain came
down in torrents. There was much
lightning .and thunder but no dain-
agehas been reported in this coin-.
mtinity. The rain greatly' benefitted
the field and garden stuff and •will
mean much to the farming commun-
ity. The growth since has been most
remarkable. In the editor's garden
beans that were not through the
ground on Sunday; on Wednesday
morning were from four to five
inches high with leaves over two
inches long.

TABLET UNVEILED.
A very significant and impressive
ceremony took place at the Canad-
ian Bank of Commerce on Friday
afternoon 'last. It was the unveiling
of a bronze tablet commemorating
the names of the young men of, this
district who enlisted 'for service in
the Great War. The tablet is one of
the many that are being placed in
the different branches of the bank
in honor of the 1701 officers of the
bank who enlisted for service in the
war. Of this number 258 had lain
down their lives that freedom and
justice might live. Rev. A. A. Tram,-
per
rum-per unveiled the tablet and said in
part that these memorials of differ-
ent Materials were being placed, not
where we were accustomed to look
for them in public squares or parks,
but in prosiac workshops and offices
—an evidence of the desire of all
classes to uphold freedom and just-
ice. The speaker reminded the- audi-
ence that the ancient law, was "as
hiS part is that goeth clown to bat -
tie so shall his part be that tarrieth
by the stuff 'they shall part alike,"
so we honour those who offered
themselves for service for King and
Country even though they did' not
all see actual fighting. In conclusion
the speaker urged all to unite in the.
great task of reconstruction, .point—
ing out that only by hard work can
the wealth destroyed, be replaced,
'Reeve B. W. F. Beavers also
addressed a few words of appre-
ciation as did. Major Heamau, �vlxo
said that the bank officers inp antic
ular anti the returned men in gen-
eral would appreciate the action of
the bank in commemorating the
names of those who bad,.,enlisted
for service. The closing ceremony
was conducted by Rev. James Foote,
The manager of the bane, 1e. F. A.
Chapilian, acted as chairman, and
gave a short biographical sketch of
the men whose nanhes appeared upon
the tablet. The mimes are:

The scenes of this story are laid in early California durrng the
time when Caballeros from Spain held sway. In it Fairbanks portrays a
dual role as Don Diego Vega. He is a young man of wealth and almost
instantly.Iie again appears as the bandit Zorro in which he tries to free
his people. Sonic of the most remarkable feats of performance by Fair-
banks. Streak of lightning stunts, leaps full speed onto a horse, heed
less daring jumps from balcony to a tree, catlike upward, springs to
ledges of buildings. Full of thrills from start to finish. He marks his
enemies with letter Z. Usual admission 27c &. I7c,
