| The Law Now Demands

That You Carry

a

“Brake-Inspection”’

Card

Most motorists are now aware that
they must carry a card showing that
their brakes were inspected by a re-
putable garage within the preceeding
six months period, this law having been
*in effect since May 25th.
Inability to produce this card leaves
the driyer liable to prosecution.
The law requires that a car must be
*so equipped with brakes that it can be
brought to a dead stop within the pre-
scribed legal distances, according to
speed of travel.
You are invited to bring your car to
Brett's, when it will be tested thorough-
ly for this requirement.

Mission and A baseball
teams met in a tryout game—the first
of the season for the home boys—on
Jubilee park last Thursday, the game
being witnessed by a fairlyJarge crowd
of fans. Although some exceptional
individual play was shown at times,
the Abbotsford nine lacked training,
the result being a score of 11-2 against
the locals. The line-up was: Haynes,
p; Fawcett, c; Johnson, 1b; O'Neill 2b;
Wand 3b; Mutch ss; Taylor If; Ral-
ston rf; Crandall cf. ©. Stewart was
umpire.

Complete. satisfaction was expressed
with the diamond, which was levelled
and packed to first-class condition.
Gate collections amounted to $11.25.

Vancouver Heights nine visited Ab-
botsford on Saturday, trimming the
locals by 8-2. Abbotsford plays a re-
turn game with Mission at the latter's
diamond tomorrow. <=

BUTTERCUPS
I saw the dainty buttercups advancing
in the wind,
But oh, thee memories ‘they
recalled and pictures to my mind,
The bygone years returned again,
when we were lad and lass,
Out gathering golden sheaves of
theme, among the long, green grass

“Do you like butter’? we would cry,
and to a milky throat
Would hold a yellow buttercup, and
its reflection note,
“Oh yes you do”, we merrily would
sing, and on our way
Go skipping, tripping gleefully, the
live long sunny day.
But tho’ beyond recall those days, and
carefree childish hours,
A twofold pleasure we receive from
these fair summer flowers,
‘The happy past we live again, by time
made dearer still,
But with the blossoms present now,
our hearts with joy refill.

We are proud of our
