NO MORE DINKY TITLES IN CANAEA
Ottawa, June 10. —Sir Robert R.
j Borden announced that Canada has
1 asked the imperial government not to
grant further hereditary titles in this
country.
I The Canadian Parliamentary Guide j
! says: Imperial distinctions, such as
peerages, baronetages, knighthoodsj
and the like, are conferred by the j
j crown as the fount of honour. Asa
i matter of fact thay are generally con- !
] ferred upon the recommendation of his j
majesty’s constitutional advisers, a!-;
though many are personal marks of the
sovereign’s esteem. Honours conferred
upon Canadians are generally due to
the recommendation of the governor
I general, sometimes at the instance of
his constitutional advisers, and at other
times as his own personal wish. Hon
ours for political and general services
are customarily announced on New
Year’s day and the sovereign’s birth
day, although special occasions, such as
a change of ministry, often call forth
special lists at other times. Titles con
fer no special privileges upon the
holders in Canada.

For Better Rubbers
Don’t ask for “Pacs” but ask for
THE “BALL-BAND” YUKON
especially designed and built #
fof the men of Alaska.
Only the best quality of pure gum rubber is used and the
shoe is vulcanized by Special Process, thoroughly uniting
all parts of the upper, the sole, the stays and linings into
a one-piece construction that defies hard wear. The
sturdy rubber bottom is well reinforced where other
rubbers soon wear through.
Rubbers built like these will stand freezing, scuffing,
stubbing and the daily grind of working in rock or wet
gravel.
Set a pair of “Ball-Band” Yu
kons beside a pair ol any other
brand—compare the finish and
the workmanship — you can
easily see that the “Ball-Band”
shoe is superior.
Then remember that “Ball
Band” footwear is worn by nine
and one-half million people, who
^ have learned by experience that
\ the Red Ball trade-mark stands
tor the utmost in quality,
service, and satisfaction.
More days 'wear
in every pair.
