The Tupper called at this port yester- day and after discharging cargo, inelud- ing two automobiles, a truck, and some lumber, sailed for St. Kitts at 6p. m. taking wail for six different islands. A heavy northeaster has been raging since yesterday afternoon and up to this morning the wind is blowing at great rate around the whart, See ronight’s programme for the cine show. Another catching co nplete drama is in store. Mr. P. L. La Bega reterned from St. Thomas by the Tupper and reports hav- ing erected the main parts of the ice factory he is establishing over there. The St. Thomas tolk .re assured of an end to their ice troubles ,with this live man of ours managing the ice manu- facture of their town, and we wish the enterprise all success.

Our congratulations go | out to the happy parents on this auspici- . + ous event.—St. Thomas Mail Notes, Mach 16th - THE FORUM Sunday afternoon in the Working People’s Committee Forum, Mr. Axel- Hol t delivered a very interesting dis- co rse entitled ‘‘Whatis Mouey’? to a large gathering of workers assem- ' bled theren. The speaker pointed . out that there are four different ways to consider money. 1, as a common - medium of exchange; 2. as a common ' measure of value: 3. as a standard ofe - deferred payments; 4, as a store of - wealth.
