In most cases the difference between the grades is only a difference in the size •of the fruit. It will undoubtedly ibe interesting to the general public to know the existing regulations in regard to the packing and sale of fruit • and the regulations which are being -recommended as additions to this act. Existing Rgulations. Mit unfit for Use,—NO person shall sell; or offer, expose or have his possession for sale, any fruit in any package that is so diseased, Wormy or Otherwise depreciation as to render it unfit for cosumption, Recommended Regulations 1, .MI packages used for the, sale of fruit must be clean, 2.

C. LIQUOR ACT WILL BECOME EFFECTIVE PROBABLY MAY IST, 1921 Establishes Government Control • With Permit System For Individuals. Victoria 13. C., April '2,—The liquor act control bill, which has been pass- ed by the British Columbia Legislature is expected to go into effect on May 1, although the date has not yet been set. Under the measure the Govern- ment will establish and maintain stores wherever it Is considered ad- visable and at these sales will be made under a permit system and only sealed packages of liquor will be sold. A package is defined to mean any receptacle used for holding liquor. The administration of this act, in- cluding the general( control, manage- ment and supervision of :all Government stores, will be vested in a liquor con- trol hoard consisting of three persons, one of whom shall be chairman, Permit Costs $5 Under the permit system residents cf the province of adult age, and who halve resided here for one month can cake out yearly permits, the cost of which will be "5 each. Another permit, c •sting 50 cents, allows for a single purchase, limited to two quarts, There are special permits covering the cases of druggists, physicians, dentists and vet- erinaris, and also affecting wines for sacramental purposes. The Act provides for a tax on all liquor imported to private use under the federal law. This tax will be equal to the profit which the Government would have made had it sold such liquor plus 10 per cent, lmpdrters for pri- vate purpose must notify the liquor control board of any shipments sn thrt provision may be made for taxation. Any person engaged in exporting or importing liquor into the province shall pay a yearly license fee of 53,000. There are safeguards to prevent the abuse of the permit system. Persons convicted of drunkeness can be inter- dicted and have their permits canceled. There are heavy penalties attached to those who violate the lalw by selling liquor, an individual being subject to imprisonment of six months with hard labor for a first offense and a corpora- tion being subject to a minimum fine of 11,000.

ECLIPSE OF IOCN VISIBLE APRIL 22 Clintonians Will Have a Chance to See Event—Otter Planetary Moves Local News osesousaaueueoesausewaseas An Anniversary Held On Thursday the 31st inst a very pleasant evening was spent at the home of Mrs. 8, Kennedy, Ontario Street, in honor of Mr. and Mrs, J. F, Brooks, of Winnipeg, it being tine Twentieth Au niversary of their marriage, Among: those present were Mr, and Mrs, J; F. Brooks, Mrs. Margaret Colquhoun, mot- her of Mrs. Brooks, Mr. and Mrs. A, A, Colquhoun, of Staffa, Mr, and Mrs, E. J. Colquhoun, Misses Margaret and Ethel Colquhoun, of Science Hill, Mr, and Mrs. W, T. Colquhoun, Master Ken- neth, of Munro, Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Davis and family, of Fullerton, Mr. and Mrs. A, J. McMurray, Mr. and Mrs• M. T, Corless and fancily, Mr, and Mrs. H. W Fitzsimons and family, all of Canton, After partaking of a bounteous repast the guests were entertained by the read- ing of some poetry entitled "Twenty Years and Now" composed and read by Mrs,.Curless, following this a presen- tation of limogues chino was given Mr. and Mrs. Brooks, In al pleasing manner Mr, Brooks thanked those pres- ent for their kind remembrance and use Cul gifts. The rentainedr of the even- ing was spent in music and social chat. The guests from a distance left for their various homes the following after- noon. Alr, and Mrs. Brooks expect to return to Winnipeg in a few weeks. During the canning month the earth's fair satellite will viel itselt in a mantle of crhnson and night will stand aghast at the discontfor- tue of the queen of heaven. In other words, the well-known moon will be eclipsed between tate hours of 1 and 3 a. m. on April 22. This interesting information will doubtless be -of a value to a convi- vial gentleman going home in the •wee seta' hours of that day. Tu see the moon swallowed up in the earth's shadow, without due explan- ation, makes every separate hair er sur prehistoric superstitions rise erect. it's all very natural and usual though, astronomers explain. No great catastrophe may be ex- pected because of this. For even the moot can't keep circling around a big bulk like the earth and not expect to get in the shadow. There will also be an annular eclipse of the sun during April, but only summer resorts like Greenland will be given a chance of seeing it. An annular eclipse differs from a total eclipse in that the more doesn't ' entirely cover the surface of the sun, but leaves at ring of the day star free for observation. The annular part of this sort of cllpse comes from the Latin word meaning a ring, and has no reference whatever to the year. Venus will still be with us dur- Ing April, but will set by 9 o'clock in the evening. Jupiter will then hold forth without a rival through- out the night. Near Venus may be observed Mars. For while in my- thology these stars are married. Mars is a roaming sort and only visits Mrs. Venus once in ever so often. Saturn, of the many rings, will be close to Jupiter and a good field glass will show that this planet has something wrong with its outline although the rings required a fair- ly good telescope for accurate ob- servation. Astronomers say that if a star twinkles, it is a planet, The April skies are well worth study and it is pointed. out that the comet, which will become visible during the latter part of May, is' travelling towards' the earth at a great rate. This comet, no lem per- son than the astronomer royal says, is going to knock this earth of ours into a collection of asteroids and' spread all North America along the Milky Way, Maybe so, but there'll be nn extra on the streets if this hap- pens, se noone need sit up waiting for it to happen.

Some such plan will halve to be worked out, even if carried at a loss, if Canada is to become independent of the United States. The News -Chronicle says: "Titus Canada: owns the dines of production and the means of distri- bution, and yet we depend upon the good -will of our neighbors and the conditions existing in their country to keep from freez- ing. "If we are going to have deficits un the national system of railways as a regular program, a few mill- ions here or there will make little difference In the end, 1 -et coal be hauled from Alberta half- way across the continent and let coal from Nova Scotia nbe hauled to the Western portion of Ontario and into Northern Quebec and Ontario, "We ought to derive some ben- efit from maintenance of the rail- ways and steamships.
