It was moved by Mr. Arthur Agassiz. seconded by Mr. Wm. Clarke, that Mr. Wm- Green take the chair.—Carried. The Reeve then rose and explained the object of the meeting, which was t0 obtain the feeling of the majority, in order thut the Council might be guided as io the adjdslillty of opposing the action or letting it go by default. Mr. Harry Fooks, Municipal Cle.k, then read a copy of the writ Issued out of the Supreme Court, by Reid, Wallbrldge, Douglas and Richmond, solicitors for the B.C. Hop Co., plaintiff, against the Municipality of Kent, defendant The Reeve explained that he regretted having to call the meeting, but that as many years as he had been iu t.wM MuiL.cipa.llty he had only just found out that there was a gazetted ■ oad through the Hop Co.'s property, and 42 ratepayers had presented oe tit ion to the Council asking to have the road surveyed, the result being that Mr. Frank Sweatman wag engaged to re-su:ivey the road. it became necessary for Mr. Swea'.- man to go to Victoria, where he found the records, field notes, eta, and the road was duly su.veyed. Hence thc reason for the Hop Co. taking the action they have. /The Council did rot Intend opening up the road at present, only running a line to find where the road was situated. Mr. J.

Dye Faded A- litis article is being written a conference ol' vital importance lo all Canada, and one that, ir it roaches tt wise decision, will have a far-reaching effect on lhe whole Dominion, is proceeding al Calgary. Possibly before these words appear in print the die will have been cast tor good or III, bul regardless of what thai decision may be we are convinced that sooner or later the views herein expressed must. and will, prevail. The conference lo which reference is made is thai between the coal operators, or mine owners, of Alberta and lhe ofltclals of whal is known its District is of the United Mine Workers' of America; in other words, the miners' union. On April 1 tl xlstihg contracts and wage agreements between the mine operators and lite Union expire, ami lite conference is pro- ceedlng with the objeel of negotiating new agreements. The Union leaders are reported as insisting upon the maintenance of the existing high wage schedules, and in so doing ate standing on the declaration of policy of Ihe recent convention of the l'nited Mine Workers at Indianapolis against any reduction in wages and a four-year contract. la other words, lhe demand is that lhe peak war wages shall continue to prevail. One of the forceful arguments advanced by the Alberia miners in support of the unusually high wages Ihey now receive is that mining operations are only carried on to full capacity for n mailer of the six or seven winter months, and thai during thai period they must earn enough to maintain themselves and families for twelve months. Within recent years, and particularly last year, vigorous efforts have been made lo overcome this difficulty and, by finding an all tlie year round market for Alberta coal, guarantee continuous employment to the miners-, and also through the resultant enormous Increase in production reduce overhead costs per Ion of coal mined, give needed stability to the industry, and reduce the selling price to lhe consumer. To realize this object two main dlfllcutlles hnve lo be overcome. The necessary market for all the coal Alberta can mine exists in Ontario and Western Quebec. Ontario Is clamoring for Alberta coal, because experimental shipments ami tests have demonstrated its quality as satisfactory, Bul Ontario is a long distance away, and the cost of transporting the coal so excessive as to make the price prohibitive In competition wllh coal from the fulled Slates. The second difficulty is found in lhe abnormally high wages paid coal mtn- ers ia Alberta which makes ihe cost of coal al lhe pit mouth high, and which. coupled with transportation costs, makes Its marketing ami sale ia Ontario impossible, The result Is that Willi billions of Ions of coal In Alberta, Ontario continues year tiller year paying $160,000,000 to the United States for coal, while the Alberta mines close down or on short lime tor one-half, of each year. Canada's adverse balance of trade with tlie United Stales Is Urns swollen, our money Is drained away across the line, United States miners are kept busy while Canadian miners are Idle, and United Stales railways gel traffic which din- railways ought lo have find need, ami Ontario's industries are in jeopardy 'and may be ruined and thousands ol workers thrown oul of employment if ni any lime conditions develop which may force the prohibition of export ot coal by the United Stales. Hut if. Instead of demanding the highest wages paid to any group of miners on the American continent, the Alberta miners would agree lo accept a reasonable wage schedule, the cost of coal at the pit month could be reduced, unit bj continuing mining operations throughout Ihe .slimmer months p, i-niii o! the ill il movement of coal lo Ontario during the slackest months in Western transportation1 activities, and thereby make possible a lower freight rale. Tints the two main obstacles lo Ontario being supplied on'fl commercial basis witli Alberia coal would be reduced If nol entirely overcome. witli all tlte year round employment guaranteed to them the Alberta miners ami Ihelr families would be heller off financially, mentally anil moral- li at ii reduced wage than wllh the now prevailing high wage, bul with sternly employment for only nboul half Hie year. Pull time operation of lho mines Would nlace Hie coal ludusii'x of Alberia, on a firm foundation which II has hitherto lacked, would encourage capital and development, ihereby creating tnoi ' ami more employment, ami. as already staled, rcduco overhoud costs ot production so that the Ontario market could tie sot'vod, and, what is of ii(iii.l Importance, lho present high price of coat to tlie prairie consumer reduced io a reasonable figure. It' sound business principles ntul common sense are allowed to prevail at lho Calgary conference Instead of a "Made In lho United Stales" policy for Hie t lilted .Mine Workers being enforced through which Hint country Is enabled to keep control of the rich EtiBlern Canada market for coal, then a brighter .is v, ill dawn lor Hie Alberta millers ami lusting benefits conferred on the Dominion through ihe Inauguration ol policies lending lo moko Cunadit it more self-contained, Bolf-supporllng country, lho absence of which condition is todnj our outstanding national weakness.

Coal Output In Alberta Was Production For Year 1923 I 6,860,924 Tons Over two million tons of Alberia coal were soltl Lo Canadian points outside the province and lo lhe United Stales during 1923, states the anuual report of the provincial mines branch, The total production of coal for Ihe year was 0,866,921 Ions, 1,382,788 being disposed of lor consumption in Alberta, 1,937,753 lor other provinces anil 83,557 Ions in the l'nited Stall's. To the railway companies 3,110,121 Ions were sold. The lotal production lor the coal mines la Alberia during 1923 was SUtl.191 Ions over the lotal for 1922. Up to the end of 1922 Ihe report cites Dominion statistics to show thai Alberta mines since ISSli produced 69.sill.510 tons of coal to the approximate value of 5121.715,815. The domestic coal fields of lite province turned out 3.161.711 Ions of coal In 1923, production in the sub-bituminous coal fields totalled 163.161 tons. One Thing At a Time Too Many Transportation Problems Before the Public A resolution urging the early completion ol Ihe branch lines projected hy Hie Canadian National Railways In this province has already been adopt- ed hy tlie legislature. A resolution urging the completion of the Hudson's Day Railway is now before the legislature and will undoubtedly tie adopted. 'I'he Croat Lakes-St. Lawrence canalization project Is being pushed In litis province. A gentleman from lite Unltod Slates who Is interested in il addressed a committee of the legislature recently and spoke al the School Trustees convention in Saskatoon. The "western route" lor grain shipment through Vancouver has Its champions in Saskatchewan, as naturally has also Ihe established eastern route through Winnipeg anil the Great l.ii Ices. Al the present time lhe transportation problem ln"Bnskulchewan is spill live different ways- or at least four different ways, as the branch lines question is purely local lu lis primary aspect, although It has nullifications which make It both a provincial ami a national mailer. The desirability of the people of this province mailing up their mind as lo what ihey want and when thoy want il In respect to Ihe transportation attest Ions referred to Is apparent. They will get nothing unless Ihey can show Ihal they know what Ihey want and are determined lo flglil for it.— Regina Leader.

C. 41 Solution Of Problem Of Utilizing Enormous Tonnage Of Straw Annually Wasted The following interview has been given out by Major (I. (I. Omniiinney, in charge of the C.P.R.'s department of colonization and development, wllh regard lo the work done by the C.P.R. with respect to expet'lmenllntt In the ma mi fa cm re of paper from Hie western waste straw: In 11 reporl published In the Weekly Ni'ws Bulletin, issued hy the Govern. ment of Alberta, Edmonton, February -lid. 11 statement Is attributed to Premier Ovoenfleld Hint successful tests in connection with Hie manufacture of paper from western wasle straw 1111 cl been carried nut with the Co-operation of tlie Canadian National Railway. 11 is well that oredlt should he given where crqdll Is due niul Premier Greenfield no doubt bus information us to the co-operation given by the National Railways towards the solution of Hits important problem which is not available lo Hie general public. I Premier Greenfield would no doubt, however, be interested to leiirn that the pioneer In initialing research work Into the utilization of western I flux straw is tlie same organization Which lias always been the pioneer in any large development movement whether connected wiih transportation, agriculture or immigration vitally affecting the western provinces, namely, the Canadian Pacific Railway. The work of this company in its efforts to iind a solution or the problem of utilizing tlie enormous tonnage of straw annually wasted and burnt on the prairie provinces dates back as far as 1916. About that date the company engaged at considerable expense the services of the Arthur D. Little Company whose reoprt and research work on the possibilities of manufacturing pulp und paper from western flux straw still constitute the most complete investigation of tills problem which has yet been made. The result of this work showed clearly that a high grade pulp could be manufactured from this material from which a high quality of paper was made and actually utilized for some time In the executive ollices of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Possibly the report referred to by Premier Greenfield may have been that recently published on further Investigations on this subject curried out by the bureau of standards ol the United States at Washington. It is Interesting lo note thai once again] the Canadian Pacific Railway, cooperating with tlie Honorary Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, not only suggested that, further tests should be made on western straw In order to ascertain the possibilities ol making 11 cheaper grade of pulp suitable for the manufacture of newsprint but also collected and supplied the Canadian raw material which was utilized in these tests. The Honorary Council of Scientific and Industrial Research have acknowledged by letter the co-operation given by lhe Canadian Pacific Railway Company and In a report printed by the Paper Trade Journal of August 2nd, 1023, giving the results of the tests of the bureau 'AT standards of the Culled Slates Department of Commerce, reference Is made nol only lo the source of supply of raw material, but also to Hie Investigations made ami paid for by Hie Canadian Pacific Railway through tho agency of the Arthur D. I.line Company and Lo j literature printed and published by the Department of Colonization audi Development »r the Canadian Pacific Railway.

Supplying Bacon Type Sows Good Results Are Shown Through Introduction of Breeding Stock The introduction of hog grading lias created a general demand for brood sows of bacon type. To assist farmers In securing these, the Livestock Branch of the Department of Agrlcul- lure at Ottawa, through the agency of field men, makes suitable stock available In districts where it is most needed. According to the report, of the Dominion minister of agriculture for the past fiscal year, 757 head of bacon type sowi-f were purchased in Ontario] and shipped lor sale direct to farmers in various parts of Quebec. Besides these, more than three hundred Quebec brood sows were turned over from Ihe breeders to districts thnt had nol, been supplied. In tlie province of Alberta, according to' this report, 42 young sows of the Yorkshire breed were purchased and sold to pig club members, and a quantity of similar stock was made available fo Vkrunlun settlers. That tills work will produce good resulls in due lime is shown from the experience of the Pence River district, which was supplied with bacon type hogs of boih sexes Iwo years ago. The slock coming mil of the district Ihe year following the introduction comprised a much higher percentage of select slock than thnt marketed from other parts of Alberta. Praise For America Sir Auckland Geddes Says Britain Can Learn Much From U.S. Great Britain lias many things lo learn from Ihe United Stales, Sit Auckland Geddes. former British Ambassador to that country, declared tit a banquet given in his honor by the Anglo-American Society in London.

"(liven the American problem: given lhe American climate, if I were j an American I would lie a prohibitionist," he said. , Sir Auckland said lhe British working people might well envy United Stales wage earners for Ihelr housing facilities and for the comforts and luxuries they enjoyed. Undoubtedly they were belter housed, fed and clothed than their kindred here. He would urge tlie Labor Government, whose special care was directed lo Ihe wage earner, to consider whether anything could be learned from the protectionist methods of the United Slates. Favorable Situation Enables Canada To Compete In Tne Wkcat Markets Of World Here Is What A Mother Says "I Have Found in Dodd's Kidney Pills a Veritable Friend." Mrs. G. B. Albert tells how Dodd's Kidney Pills relieved her daughter. Le Bouthellier, N.B.—(Special).— Claiming that her daughter has been completely relieved of headache and heart trouble, Mrs. (1. B. Albert, a well-known resident here Is enthusiastic about Dodd's Kidney Pills. "I have found In Dodd's Kidney Pills a veritable friend. My daughter Magdalan, aged 17 years, suffered from severe headache and could only get broken sleep ut nights and would wake up more tired lhan when she went to bed. She also suffered with heart trouble. Two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills have relieved her und she is now quite well." Dodd's Kidney Pills are a kidney remedy. They strengthen the kidneys so they can do their work of straining the Impurities out of the blood. Dodd's Kidney Pills are Intended for the treatment of backache, diabetes, rheumatism, dropsy, urinary troubles, heart disease and nil Ills of the kidneys.

Britain's Experiment ■s In Socialistic Administration Lloyd George Thinks It Will Have! Good Effect On the Impetuous i Soul of the Party Addressing delegates representing the United Porces oC Liberalism In the I northern counties of England, Mr. Lloyd George said thai ii was jusl like Qrenl Britain's hick -that ihe first experiment in socialistic administration had come under conditions where it could do the least harm, even conditions which could do a great deal ol good, and (he experience was having a salulury effect on ihe impetuous soul of the Socialist party. "I am all for leaving them for some lime belwyen the plough handles," lit conllnucdAl "They will soon have. aching backs and weary hearts, but very much wiser heads. You cannot plough from lho clouds." "In Mr. MacDonald's first speech as premier." continued Mr. Lloyd George, "all lhe restraints, reservations and compromises which mundane slates- men hitherto have indulged in, were repealed iu every paragraph. When I heard Mr. MacDonald, who had Indulged in the shrillest notes, pitching his tune lo low and imitating the very modest notes from less pretentious singers, I recalled to memory Ihe cracked tenor who had been forced to become a baritone." He said the last government was a spectacle of pitiable fatuity, and it was not a very high compliment to pay the existing ministers lo say that, whatever were their detects or shortcomings they were infinitely belter than the nveu they had supplanted. "II Ihe present government/' he concluded, "in a moment of lolly, proposes a capital levy or any measures for the overthrow of private enterprise, the whole of the Liberal parly will vole against it without regard to the effeei on lhe fortunes ol Ihe government." Russia's Debts to England A Matter of Three Bilfion, Eight Hundred and Eleven Million Is Outstanding In the note of the British Government extending recognition to Soviet Russia in this paragraph: "Technically unconnected with recognition, but clearly ol utmost importance, are the problems of settlement of the existing claims by the government and nationals of one party against the\)ther and the restoration of Russia's credit." The importance of the problems referred to may be gathered from the t'aci thut the war debt of the Russian Government to Great Britain is $3,- :j.rjO,noo,uoo. In addition, according to lhe Soviet's own figures, the pre-war Investments of British people in Russia amount lo $200,000,000, and an additional amount of $2(11,000,000 ol British money has been Invested mainly in oil, copper, thread and to- bacco in Russia, making a lotal Indebtedness of $8,811.000,000. -Mom - real Herald. The disclosures arising oul of the Investigation of tlfe United Stales Tariff Commission ol relative costs of producing wheal in tho L'nited States and Canada, Indicate thai Hi'1 Conn- dian farmer can produce wheal far more cheaply than can lhe farmer in the l'nited States, Large]- yields per acre, lower taxation and lower freight rates, resulted, in tho year l!i2", in ihe Canadian farmer being able lo produce a bushel of wheat for -Iii cents less lhan the United Slates tanner. It was shown that on an eleven-year average tftf production cost of a bushel of wheat in the United Slates was $1.58 as against $1.22 in Canada and that in 1923, while it cost, the United Stales farmer $1.49 to produce a bushel of wheat the Canadian farmer was able to produce it for $1.03. Canadian tanners can get, their wheat to its outlet very much more cheaply lhan can United States' farmers. The average cost of wheat transportation in the l'nited States is 1 cent for 37 miles, while in Canada a bushel can be carried for t>(i miles for the same cent. The average price of all land both cultivated and uncultivated in the United Stales is $69.3S per acre, whereas I lie average price of farm land actually occupied in Canada Is but $10 per acre over the enlire Dominion. The average price of land devoted lo wheat growing in lhe l'nited Slates id $92 per acre and in Canada $43 per acre. The yield per acre in recent years has been higher in Canada lhan In the United Slates. Looking lo the future of Canadian agriculture the figures are encouraging as illustrating Canada's ability to compete In the wheat and flour markets of the world. But they are perhaps even more significant as indicating that wheat production is be- Ing discouraged in the Lulled Stales by economic conditions and that country, with its increasing population, will, before many years, become an importer rather than an exporter ot wheat and flour, and a big market for lhe Canadian farmer.

LECTURE CONCERT * TEA The Presbyterian Church was venue on Tuesday evening of a lantern lecture by the itev. Mr. Daly, interspersed with song* und music and capped with a delightful tea purveyed by the members of The Ladles1 Aid of the church. Seldom has Hammond had such a treat. Mr. Duty's subject was "Pro- press in Locomotion during the 19th century," and the slides, beginning with the old Vedan chair and ending up with the aeroplane were sufficiently illustrating to make the vast contrasts appealing indeed. Not the least illuminating portion of Mr. Daly's lecture was his projection now und then into racy anecdote in which the Itev. gentleman displayed appropriate and nice humor, Mrs. Hopper has delighted much larger audiences but she never sang to a more appreciative one and she certainly hns n lovely voice. Seldom has anything finer been heard in Hammond than her rendering of "Old Virginia," and when Mrs. Dan Hartnel) who was accompanying her joined her beautiful contralto to Mrs. Hopper's soprano the audience was fairly carried away. They simply had to repeat, the audience would take no denial. It was predicted by one present thnt these two ladies would bring down the house with their rendering of that song. Miss Naylor and Miss I'entreath played beautifully und had to respond to encores. Mr. Gosling Is going to be in big demand if he keeps on getting to the hearts of his audience ns he did on this occasion with his two songs, one of them un enthusiastic encore. Mrs. .lames Irving was chairman. a precedent which helped towards the success of the evening. Miss Stalker was at the receipt of customs. Mrs. James Kiddle and her colleagues deserve to be congratulated but with that we are sure they would rather see a fuller holme next time. Besides Mrs. Irving, Mrs, Kiddle and miss Stalker mentioned above others of the Aid present nnd assisting were Mrs. John (bat win; Mrs. T. J, Laurie; Mrs. Dan Hartnel); Mrs. D.

Tho speaker was Mr. Lys- I'rineijial Vancouver Techulcn I il, Some time ago (his lecture was given to an audience of 1,500 In Vancouver, The lecturer was mosl pleasing in manner ami alike appealed to children and adults. The three kinds of bees first had attention as also their having come originally from northern India where Ihey had plenty of sunshine und warmth, They built no inside hives bul prepared these in the sun light. They "made Ihelr honey in the open. The extraordinary fact of their get- ling acclimated to our northern climate and their making their own wax may well puzzle the entymologlst. Phcy can easily adapt themselves to man's ways. as. when they build on the foundation he sets. Dees arc absolutely fearless, Ihey will attack any si/.o \. animal or man hut only in defence. The three kinds are the Queen, the drones and the working bees, the last named being sexless. Tho eyes, wings etc. of these inteligent little insects was most interestingly dealt with as also their carrying the pollen home on their legs, how they use the crush and comb and the sting, each of these was clearly illustrated.,.. .Bees find out by means of feelers, whether or not its object lighted upon can be stung. If left alone the bee will free itself. If hit or frightened it will break off the sting and soon die. Most astonishing fact, a bee must fly 24 miles to make one drop of honey. They never get their honey ingredients from near their hive, and all their ingredients are from the flowers, nor do they mix the pollen. they do not put that of the clover with roses or any other combination. The Queen bee has a sting which is curved and never used on anything but a princess bee. Each hive litis one Queen though there is record where a dozen Queens -have beer. found, alas! eleven of them soon to die, as not above one Queen can reside- in a hive. The Queen is quite tt machine ns she in a single season — February to October — lays 2300 to 3500 egs. "Busy ns u bee" working night and day, scarcely taking time for meals she usually lives from three to four years. These eggs are l-'*2 in. long and 1-150 in. wide. The third day the egg falls over nnd the grub begins to appear. The Queen has cells of very rich food upon which to feed. The Queen never leaves its hive unless with a new colony to form another hive. The working bees' cells are given scarcely anything to live upon. If the working bees decide to build a Queen cell, t hey ruthlessly tear down many other cells nnd even throw- out their occupants to die. The drone'is absolutely useless and sometimes lhe workers will saw off legs — he has no means of saving himself. The lecture wns listened to with the most wrapt attention. Mr. Holland favored with vocal solos, pleasing everyone. Rev, Mr. Daly and Mr, YV. ,T. Sparling moved a hearty vote of thanks. Refreshments were served. This meeting, like nil the Haney P. T.

They reached their destination in time to cultivate a few acres of land for potatoes and some grain fo do them for the coming year. He said: ".My wife and daughter fancied living in tlie hills rather Irian on the open prairies. They preferred living among Hie hills where tlie timber, the hills and the valleys reminded them more of their old home in Ontario. They chose this spot on the shore of this lake for our home, and I think it, was a wise move, for here wo have lots of feed for our stock, and wood Is plentiful and handy to our house." After a short time their conversation was interrupted by the appearance of Mrs. Fraser, who, in announcing that dinner was ready, remarked on the delayed absence of "Mary." Ronald was then introduced lo Mrs. Fraser, who extended1 him a cordial welcome, "Conn.1 in and have dinner with us Mr. MacRae. We have plain faro here, but we do the best we can Io accommodate the few strangers who come our way. We cannot do so very much to entertain strangers so far away from the advantages of settled districts. We so seldom see strangers that we are always pleased lo see them come, but you 4ire welcomed lo make yourself al home. Our daughter Is out rounding the horses, and I always feel anxious when she is out late in thc evenings. "I met your daughter on the trail as I was coming In. She was all right and said site would be home in a short time." "We slinll not wait supper any longer. If she is not here by the time we are through, I think, John, you belter go out and meet her." "Vou don't need to worry about Mary, 'mother'; she knows this country like her first book, and she knows how to handle horses and can always iind hor way homo in lite darkest night. She will bo here before long. Come In ami havo dinner Mr. MacRae, If Mary is nol here by tho Ilm,' we aro through I'll saddle up and go out and moot her." They then entered the house and tho room that served the double purpose- of dining and living room combined This room was huge, and (hough fur- nisliod willi improvised and hand made furniture, It showed considerable laslo in Its ai-raitgoiiionls. Al ! one end of Hie room there wiis a large open stone fireplace, on ono stile of i which Blood a well-filled bookcase and on lho other sldo was an organ and a shelf hanging on tlio wall containing music slioois.

Tho furnishings were mostly handmade. Thoy consisted of two com- lorlablo couches, a i-miplo of easy chairs made of natural curved birch saplings wiih woven willow backs. sides and senls.

Her cordial manner extended a wholesome welcome in strangers; ami Ronald was noi in hor homo many minutes before fooling as much al ease as an old acquaintance. .Mi. Fraser, although not showing any apparent uneasiness, hurried through his meal and soon excused himself, and said thai ho would saddle up one of his horses and go out ami nieoi his daughter before ii became dark.

Night was falling, vol there was no sign of iho return of either father or daughter, Tired as he was after tils long day's ride, Ronald was restless and ill ut ease. Tho vision of Ihe young woman he niel so short a lime ago was ever before him. Thoughts of iho hidden dangers that lurked In tlio vicinity from horse thieving bandits added lo his uneasiness. Yielding al lasl to his uneasiness and sense of fear respecting her safely, ho lold Mrs. Fraser that he would saddle up his horse and go oul and meel llioiu in case ills asisslance was needed, "Mr. MacRae," she said, "it Is very kind of you lo offer lo t\o so.

If you fool like going take a fresh horse from lho stable, for yours must bo tired after your long trip, Thank you vory much, and I do hope nothing has happened." Ronald entertained no Illusions as lo lho fear of accidents. Mr. Fraser had a band of horses ihal offered a templing bait to roaming bands of horse thieves, and the danger of lhe absenl girl being waylaid in her soil tary search for them was not. a re- mole probability; With him to decide was to act. Within a few minutes he was cantering up tiie trail by which lie had come, well mounted on a fresh horse and fully armed. About a mile out on the trail he heard Mr. Fraser calling his daughter's name, but received no answering call. Hallooing to him in tlie darkness, he soon joined tlie older rider and together they coniinued the search. They roamed over the hills in tlie vicinity, where Ronald had seen her disappear a few hours before. Shots were flred, but the only answer was the re-echoing sounds of their own shots as they reverberated from hill lo hill in the stillness or the night. In this futile manner Ihey coniinued lo wander about in the darkness lilt woll on In the night. Their search having proved unavailing Ihey decided lo return home and make preparations to resume the search al the earliest dawn, in case she had nol returned home during their absence. When they readied the house! tlie anxious mother was still up awaiting their return. When she saw them returning unaccompanied by the missing daughter she became greatly distressed. Hm. finally, encouraged by tlie assurance of the men she became more composed and assisted In the preparations that were being made to resume lhe search iu tlie early morning. While the two men entertained no Illusions as to the dangers that surrounded lho daughter, they were sllll hopeful that no Immediate harm would befall her. Though Ihe parents feared that she had mot wllh an accident it was Hie settled conviction of Hie younger man that she was held cap- live in the hands of tlie horse thieves that were reported to be in the vicinity. This opinion was concurred in by Hie father, when It was pointed but to him that If she had met with an accident the horse would huve turned up.

The one man animated by parental affection for his absent daughter, his only child, was impatient under the delay caused by the darkness of night, and chafing under the restraint il imposed; the oilier, and the younger man a stranger, moved by feelings that he hlinseif could not explain, was equally eager to be on (he move to succor a young woman in distress.

I was con- stanily taking doctor's medicine, but as It did nol seem lo help me, my mother advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I got a couple of boxes to start on. When these were done I seemed lo feel an Improvement and 1 got a further supply io continue the treatment. I took in all aboui a dozen boxes, und by that lime I was in the best of health and bail gained in weight. My faith ill Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is now unbounded, aud 1 keep a supply on hand and lake them occasionally if 1 am not feeling quite well. I often recommend them toothers,and oannoi praise lliem enough lor restoring my health."

Farm Help Supplied Farmers Take New Attitude Towards Employment Question Farmers are coming to realize (hut hiring farm labor for a few months of lhe year only Is not as economical as it appears, being, in fact, expensive both from a national and individual viewpoint. When a man Is brought In from lite east or from a greater .distance for work which only lasts pari of the year, lu lhe long run his lure is paid both wavs by the fanner hiring him, lhe money ho earns is taken away from the area of his labors, aud ho again becomes an unemployed man for the country to place. Ninety-live per cent, of the applications coming In from Canadian farmers ror farm help under the scheme originated by tlio Canadian Pacific Railway, offer employment for the year round. This discloses a decidedly new attitude In the farmer's outlook on tho farm employment question, and reveals a result which Is not generally appreciated of the general progress being made In mixed fanning ihi'oiiglioul Canada. Applications are coming In at a very pleasing rate this year, and an even greater number of experienced agricultural laborers Is expected to arrive in Canada under the allspices of the Canadian Pacific Railway to be placed with farmers who have asked for them, than came out last year, tho first of Its operation. The scheme proved so successful last year, in fact, that it has been continued as a permanent feature of the immigration and colonization work of the company, ulillzlng in a new and novel manner, as It does, the widespread ramifications of the giant organization. Wherever In Europe the Canadian Pacific has established Itself, the Canadian farmer can secure help of the class he desires through the agency of lhe company.

OF CANADA LIMITED Canadian Flour Cheaper l Has Crowded United States Flour Off the British Market A press dispatch from Washington, D.C., appearing in Canadian newspapers, states that flour milling Interests argued before the tariff commission recently for maintenance of the present tariff relationship between wheat, flour and wheat products. They were unable, however, to produce production costs of wheat feeds desired by lhe commission and adjournment was taken until later. "The millers testified," stated the dispatch,' "that Canadian millers were able to put down a barrel of flour in New York, after paying a duty ot J1.53, for seven cents less than It costs United States millers to place flour on the New York market. They pointed out that If the wheat duty were increased 50 per cent, and a corresponding Increase were not placed on flour, Canadian millers would be able to under-sell United States millers in the New York market to the extent of 77 cents a barrel. Canadian flour was selling in London a week ago for the equivalent of S5.50 a barrel, one miller testified, slating that an equal grade of flour could nol be produced in Minneapolis for that amount. The Canadian millers, it stated, have crowded United Slates flour oPthe British and conlln- enlal markets and wero making inroads in the United Slates export flour trade in the West Indies through their ability to sell at lower prices, and with the aid of preferential tariffs granted by Diilish colonies. Only lhe United Stales trade and such markets as they could develop In Soulh and Central America, together with lhe Orient, were left lo Ihe United Stales millers. In Its own Investigation lhe commission found the total cost of wheal, milling, marketing nnd administrative expense In lhe production of wheat feeds to be 11.11 per 100 pounds In lhe United Stales and 9fi cents in Canada.

Moo:ie. superintendent uf tlie Colony Farm, Essondale, B.C., In company with Mr. Glossop, representing the BritiBh Friesien Association, visited the Agassiz Experimental Farm, for the purpose of examining the Holstein herd which was developed under the cane and superlntendency of Mr. W. H. Hicks: , Mr. Glossop has been sent out from England to visit all the principal Holstein herds on the American continent, with a view tot the purchase of some of the best stock for breeding purposes in the Old Country. He has travelled with this object In view all the way fiom New York to California, and half inspected all the principal herds.

From there to Agassiz, where he examined and was very pleasod with the herd on the Experimental Faim. , Before leaving he informed Mr. Hicks that Segis May Echo, the milk and butter producing champion cow of the world, waa in his opinion (outside of her record altogether) the second-ibest cow he had seen so far, of which, naturally, Agassiz fs very proud. Mr. Glossop is now travelling east across Canada taking in all the Canadian Holstein herds on the way. STOCK SALE Mr. H. D. Sutherland and T. E. Court disposed of some of their stock by auction sale, which was conducted by Mr. Atkinson. A large number of Agassiz people attended,, five from Harrison Mills and a few from Chiliiwack.

This represents almost half the season's output, which will approximate 26,000 tons. The heaviest immigration to Canada experienced during the last ten years is looked for this year. Already the arrivals are running ahead of those for the same months In 1923, those from European countries belnp especially large. The en- Suiries from prospective settlers in le United States are numerous. Canada «rported 6,532 pairs of leather footwear during January. 1924, according to a report of the Bureau of Statistics. Of these 2.179 went to the United States, 2,038 to New Zealand and 2,031 to Chir; and Japan. Bermuda, tiie Straits Settlements and Newfoundland took the test. The value was $21,301. Canadians imported 5,326,567 pounds of tea last month, or about three-fifths of a pound per head of population. The value of last month's tea imports was $1,661,176, and for the twelve months ending January 31, l'.ie value of the 43,223.- 119 pounds imported Into Canada was $13,253,642.
