Some have spoken often er than others. As a reward they have received rather more publicity. It could not be avoided. The report of last night's meeting is very brief because by the time most of the people have read their paper, the election will be over. In any event, most of the speakers have already spoken and been reported a number of times. FORGET IT TONIGHT This evening the results of the election will be announced and all the candidates will meet In the city hall to hear the declaration of the returning officer. It is to be hoped that from that moment all bitterness of the campaign will be eliminated and local citizens who have spoken rather plainly and Sometimes rather uncivilly of each other will forget it and carry on as if there had been no campaign. . WATCH THE COUNCIL A new city council is being elected today but before I ii i i t 11.- ;i J me memDers are cnosen we suggr mat any cuuncu iK'eus watching. The members work better under the publilc eye. Anyway, the people should know all the time what is going on, so that there may be no surprises sprung at election time. It is the people's business. There are exceptions to the rule. While" a deal is being negotiated, it is better to have the business carried on quietly until there is something definite to announce. Then the people should be given all the facts, as was done in the deal with the Power Corporation. However, taken as a general rule, we suggest it is best for all concerned for the people, whose business is being transacted, to know all about it. The difficulty is that some people cto not -read the newspaper reports and they cannot expectjjqjbj&stept informed. PUT YOUR MODEL T FORD IN SHAPE FOR THOUSANDS OF MILES OF ADDITIONAL SERVICE More than four hundred thousand Model T Fords are still in active service and many of them can be put in shape for two, three and five more years of service and even longer at very small cost. The following list gives the approximate labor charges for re-conditioning the Model T Ford: ENGINE Tune motor (including replacement of commutator case, brush and vibrator points if neceseary) : $ 1.00 Grind valves and clean carbon 4;60 Overhaul carburetor 1.50 Deline detachablefrcar transmission bands. . . . 1.60 Overhaul motor and transmission, $25 to 30.00 REAIt SYSTEM Reline detachable car transmission bands 1.50 Replace rear axle ahaft, drive shaft pinion or drive gear 5.50 Overhaul complete rear axle assembly, $5.76 to 7.00 FRONT SYSTEM Overhaul front axle $4,00 to 5.00 CHASSIS Overhaul steering gear 3.50 Overhaul radiator 7.50 Overhaul starting motor 3.00 Overhaul generator 3,00 These prices are appiYrtimate and are for labor only, because the number o! necessary parts needed depends on the condition of the car. The charge for these parts is low, however, because of the established Ford low-price policy. So that you may get the greatest use from your Model T Ford over the longest period Of time, we sngm l that you bring car to us and have us estimate on the cost of putting it in good shape. A very small expenditure may be the means of giving you thousands of miles of additional service. S. E.

M.jDOwland. Byrd and Ravenscroft. Special mention must be made of the collection of Madrigals published in 1G01 in honor of Queen Hlzabeth, called "Madrigals The Triumph of Oriana." This book contains various examples of the form by several composers, among them John Hilton, Thomas Morley, John Milton father of the poett and several other excellent writers of that reign." The Canzonrtla "Canzonetta comes from the Italian word Canzonca' song. In" the olden times a secular song of a popular character. It was evidently evolved from the Folk Song, and in some cases from the old dance forms that were accompanied by the voice. The word Canzonetta itself means a Lay. "The great authority, Morley, in 1597, published "Canzonets, or Little Short Songs for Four Voices." selected out of trie best and approved Italian authors. Afterwards 3 iiisiiiiiiilii the word was used for vocal oli of some length in more than one movement; nowadays it is applied to short songs of a light nature usually to songs with a refrain such as "Hey Nonny, Nonny." "Another authority states Can- zona, a short song, somewhat of the order of the Madrigal or its Instrumental imitation." Motet "The Motet was a form of composition moat frequently employed by polyphonic oomposers from the beginning of the Thirteenth Century. It was composed for voices alone in polyphonic style to Latin sacred texts for use in worship in the Roman Catholic Church. "The Motet was in freer, form than the integral parts of the service, sharing the development of the secular Madrigal. "Full anthems in the Angllean Church are really Motet, although the text is in English Thf ten it sometimes applied to church cantatas or other sacred subjects. Hundreds of Motets have been written, first on Pagan and then religious subjects, some of these works, full of the deepest pathos, being combined with ingenious part-writing." Hospital Cost in 1929 Is Quite Low Institution Gave Total of 20.473 Days Treatment at Daily Cost of $2.93 O. P. Tinker, chairman . of the finance committee, reported to the hospital board last night that there had been a total of 20,475 hospital days during the year 1920 at an average cost of $2.03 per day.

For the month of December the finance committee reported re-: celpts of $8405.70, with disburse- ( ments of $8107.14, leaving a surplus -of $2298.56.

Eighteen thousand British Columbia workmen receive $30,000,000 In wages annually. Last year $70,030,976 was produced from BrttUh Columbia mines, of which $12,500,000 was paid out In dividends. How do these figures concern the prosperity of indlvidusl citizens? The mining Industry creates payrolls. Workmen's pay-cheque represent buying power from which merchants prosper. Into mining development goes lumber, machinery, tools, provisions, construction of mills, transportation and smelting of ore, shipping of metals. Lumber mills, railway and steamship lines, farms, factories, wholesale houses and retail stores derive prosperity from mining pro grets. Dividend cheque buy motor cars, clothing, luxuries, homes. Fifteen years ago British Columbia's great wealth-producing mines were either unknown or Insignificant producer. They weredeveloped to worldwide Importance by energy and courage. Great mine of the future will be developed by the same aggressiveness. The Vancouver Stock Exchange Is an important stimulus to this aggressive policy. The Exchange Is the pulse of great metal Industries.
