The Agassis Women's institute called a mooting of delegatus from all tbe different organisations in view to bowing a community concert, half the proceeds to bo used toward** the building for the school chlldt en to play in. the other haaf a* a reserve fund for charity. The popularity of tin. enterprise was emphasized by som. «f the Boclietles sending two or three i^leirates, Mrs. Fooks was appointed iialrmon of the meeting. Th« delegates who addressed the meeting were as follows: Rebecca Lodge, Mi'*-, Fred Wilson : Farmers' Institute, Mr. W. Clark; Orangemen, Mr. W, a. Jonest*; Agricultural Society, Mi*. iWm.

The delegates unanimously expre.iH- ed themselves of one accord In favor of the building of a school play room and offered their services in whatever way was decided as being mos* beneficial. The building Is to be larg^ enough to bo used for basket balL aa* well as a play room for the children. Therefore, the opinion was expressed that the big boys would monopolize the building to play has- ketba-M in and the small ones woe'd still have tr) get oufc in the wet. But It was explained that the building would not be used fop that until after school hours, but be supervised by the teachers. One delegate Raid he understood tbe idea was to arrange the building so that Domestic Science and Manual TwLliitng could be taught in it and then they c-ould ftsk the Government for assistance In building same, which was passed. Then tbe following committees were appointed: Miss Mi.inle Agassiz said before It went any farther she wanted it understood she was stage committee and must have Mr. Fooks as Assistant carpenter, which Mrs. Foot** agreed to Hall committee, Mr. Wm.

The P.T.A. then called a meeting and asked everyone present to remain, as It was for the same cause, with a view to getting public opinion. Mr. Hugh Brown acted as chairman.

"Hie poll closed at 7 p.m. but the ••osult of the election could not be nflclally announced until after the arrival of the 9:15 traln' which brought In the ballot box from Harbison Mills. During the Interval those who were nresent awaiting the result decided to discuss matters in general and appointed Mr. Wm. Henlev chairman, who after a few remarks called on anyono who wished to xpress themselves on matters pertaining to the welfare of the community in general. M*. F. 13. Court arose and addressed the audience In his usual good- natured and humorous manner. He «aid he wished to thank; his support- "i-f!, Il was true he had not been «1 (Mrted as School Trustee, but ho wished to thank the citizens just the "ainc. His reason for running was that twelve reliable ratepayers had approached him Insistenty in tho mat- tar, and he thought that anyone who oould qualify under those conditions Mhould certainly come out and offer his services. Mr. Court then made a few remarks regarding a community hall, eta, and asked Mr. Morrow to explain something about the $6000 surplus in the municipality. Reeve Morrow explained that it was true that they had about $6000 to their credit, which was a good thing to have, as they needed It ; but most of that had come In during the latter part of the year, and he thought It would keep the Schools going for about five months. Personally he was opposed to a community hall nt the present time. The discussion then ran a'ong that line for a while, but the feeling seemed to be that the time was not yet ripe as It were for a community hall1. Mr. Court remarkel that he thought if the matter was kept c6ntinually hefore the public, that eventually; they would find ways and meantf, to build one. Some years ago he eald the matter had come up and he and MVi Sumpter had gone Into It, with the result .that all the re- urned soldiers were willing to give their work free, provided they could get thtf material.

And when I could no longer hear the rattle of tho wagon I knew Hint I was really "on my own." The day promised to be hot, but as there was a pleasant breeze I made a fire and heated water and llien proceeded to wash evrythlng washable that. I could Untl, using Mr. Herring- ton's last cake of soap in tlie process. I had asked Murray to bring me n tin of stove polish from the village but 1 had not thought of soap und, as Nicolas pointed out, "We can't telephone here, can we?" After the house came tho garden. I found good potatoes, carrots, onions. turnips, a few beets, beans in 1 lie halfway stage between green and ripe, "Country Gentleman" corn almost ready for use, ami some rather neg- lcctcd-looklng cabbages anil cauliflowers. Evidently Mr. llerrington believed in doing himself well. The soil, even to my amateur eyes, Seemed the sort in which anything would grow, and I determined that the next spring would see a greatly enlarged ami improved garden. When I could grow tomatoes and celery and cucumbers successfully in ti city backyard there seemed no reason why I should not have even better luck with them In such rich new soil. And I would try raspberries and red and black currants, and perhaps some Everbearing strawberries. We were on our way to explore the stable when we heard the sound of wheels, a rhythmic rumble and click that was not a wagon, I was sure. The twins were curious and I—I hate to confess it—rather nervous. But tho source of the noise soon declared Itself, and proved to be nothing more fearsome than Jim Cameron come witli his binder lo cut the wheat. Jim was it pleasant-looking young fellow, sunburned and freckled In accordance with Ills red hair, and the sen-blue eyes whose twinkle rather belied his rather bashful manner. Bashful or not, be was very friendly, and when I asked him to come In al nnon and have' lunch witli me and the children ho seemed very much pleased. Alter what must have been his Bovonth or eighth hot biscuit he Informed me witli a sigh of contentment that It was "going to be greftl lo have ti woman in lho nigliborhood," and my mission, I gathered, was to be a varied one. I was to set an example In home making and culture and to invite my bachelor neighbors to a "real meal" occasionally. In return for cotloo and biscuits and grape marmalade .lim gave me ft great ileal of useful Information. Hi and his brother had, he said, been lithe habit of exchanging work ami ma* Ohlnery with Mr. Harrington, nnd would do so with Murray if he wished it. "Dickie was an awfully decent sort, and n hard worker In his way," ,11m explained, "but ho was nboul as much use on a farm as a snowball-1 mean as a pig on ice." I thanked him for the offer and explained that mil 11 Murray was strong er we scarcely knew what we would do In tin; way of farming. "Well. 1 don'l want, to hull In," Jim replied, "hm if there is anything I can do for you I hope you will let me know. A person often needs a bit of advice on a new Job and Hob and I are old hands at farming." "TllOro Is one tiling I want as soon as possible," I said. "Ho you know where I can get a good milk cow, or maybe two of them?" "And some chickens and some pigs," broke in Nicolas, who had been silent for an unusually long Whllo. "Ono of the cows is for mo and one Is for Rupert, Cousin Margaret said so, And 1 am going id teed tlie chickens, but I don'l like pigs." "If you'll come to yisll me you'll see lots of cows and pigs," Jim promised. Then, lo me, he explained that while lie had a fairl) large herd of cattle he had raised them all for beef, but that he thought wo might get milk cows at a tialician settlement twelve miles east, or perhaps from one of the settlers nearer home. The price he mentioned as likely to he asked was less lhan I had expected lo pay, the reason, lie said, being thai feed was scarce and that people were willing to sell cheaply for cash In order to meet their liabilities. "You'll find, Mrs. Aylwln," he said seriously, "that most of us in this district are Just holding on. The land Is good, and a man who hasn't too big a proportion of wood on his quarter inn do fairly well, especially if lie has some livestock and does not have lo depend altogether on his crop, Hob and I have about equal parts of timber and liny-land and open prairie, and even we have to stretch pretty hard to make ends met. The people In the bush are worse off, It Is no joke to clear that sort of land and what you can gel for wood just now does not. more than pay for your time. Of course anyone wiio can slick if out for a few years will bo on Easy Street. Tlie soil can't bo beaten and we are close lo the best market in the West. I expect, to live long enough to seo this district ns prosperous as old Ontario. But In the meantime you'll Und that a little cash goes a long way. His explanation guve me something new to think about. The pioneers, I told myself, were not. all dead. Willi sudden insight I saw our situation in a new light. We had come amongst these people under circumstances very different from their own, and with no idea of making a permanent home nor of taking a share of the hardships. Wo were "roughing It" only for the sake of Murray's health, I had always reminded myself. Ilerrlngton's Hope was to bo only an incident in our lives, a humorous one, if possible, but nl any rale merely nn incident. And 1 had rather prided myself on my courage;, it seemed quite a big thing for a woman to come to such a place for the sake of her husband. But now I realized that I had been pitying myself rather unnecessarily. After all, what was I that 1 should claim the martyrs' crown for doing willingly what other women did of necessity? I gave myself a proper lecture, and felt the better for it. Homesickness, I concluded, was justifiable, but It must be hidden. And if I were to hold up my head among my neighbors I must avoid ns the plague all appearance of superiority or discontent. The children and I had a very good dinner ready when Murray und Teddy arrived. They brought with them the tin of siovo polish, but only half our furniture, as there was too much lo be luken in one load. The rest was under cover at the station, and we decided that It must remain there for Iwo or three days, as Murray was so tired that he frightened me. My men-folk, were, I told them, very intelligent. They had brought, in the first load the things we needed most, and had left Ihe piano, the bookcase and the chairs at Spruce Creek. We did not do much in tlie way of unpacking Hint night, for nfter we had exchanged gossip wo were nil ready for bed. But the next morning we set to work and soon had everything In place. 1 had sold my large rug before we left Winnipeg, nnd In place nf It had bought ft linoleum rug lo fit the new living-room. One of the arch cur-1 tains made a very satisfactory couch i cover, nnd Ihe oilier one I used for a tabloelotll. All tlie window curtains had lo be altered, but tlie cutting oi ( them down to fit their new places was no v.-ry great, task, especially as 1 used only Hie very narrowest of side- eiu'lains, on account of the low ceilings. Tho pictures were, for tie Mime reason, hung low. I did nol Ilka •lie plain white walls, nnd I promised myself two coftts of French grey kul- somino In lhe spring. But after tlie lest of our furniture had come and Hie piano and bookcase and chairs were in place we nil ngreoil Hint we had an unexpectedly pretty room. The bookcase, nn old walnut one with open shelves, was so roomy that 1 used the two upper shelves for my pretty odd china and glass und silver, In spile of my Instinct to, pack them away "In Fill jour pipe with CUT PLUG ItScdisfas" 1*9 por packet 801 i lb tin If you roll your own, ask fir (SMI cm wm (Areer* label) CHILDREN CRY FOR "CASTORIA" « Especially Prepared for Infants and Children of All Ages Moihrri Fletcher's Castorla has been In life for over 'JO years as a plenBant, harmless substitute for Castor oil, Paregoric, Teething Drops nnd Soothing Syrups.

The corner cupboard held the kitchen dishes and the most commonly used supplies. Everything else we put, together with my Blue Willow dinner set, in the shelves in tlie children's room, which we would continue to uso ns a store-room until we could get a kitchen built. The stove was the one great eyesore. Teddy used almost the whole tin of polish on it, and on himself, but even at that It spoiled my pretty room. A stove is a stove, be It ever so black, but we knew that we would have to put up with it until after harvest, when Mr. Gagnon had promised to help Murray build a kitchen. The house settled, we turned our attention to the main out-of-doors. For one who was a "handy man" Mr. Her- ringtou must have had some strange lapses. The water, which was good and quite soft, had to be carried, pailful by pailful, from the spring. And there was no place where food could , be kept cool in the summer and warm in tho winter. There was a rainwater barrel on a raised platform near the doorway, nnd though the water smelted strongly of gasoline I was! glad to have It. It was Rupert, who discovered the dugout root cellar In the bank of the Creek near the spring, and though It was Inconvenient wo I kept our perishable foodstuffs there until cooler weather came. The stable, like the house, was well buill and roomy, Tlicro was plenty of space for the two cows we meant to get, und Hie low end under lho sloping roof would do for the hens, I planned to have turkeys, too, and with running water so close It Boomed a slighting of Nature's gifts not to try ducks nnd geese as well, but for the present I was prepared lo be snlisfied witli the humble hen. And we would havo to build a pig pen, I told Mur- [ ray. Pigs could not help but bo a ! veritable gold mine when we had lo' pay as tnueli as fitly cents a pound | for a roast of pork in Winnipeg. As it liapepns, we are still plgless, but we have hopes. I was very ignorant of nil such matters, but I planned to spend the long winter evenings in the close perusal of farm journals, so ns to be prepared for tho conduct of what Teddy called my "stock farm" In the spring. I kept my resolution, nnd by the first of March I could hnve passed an examination on the breeds, habits nnd treatment of cattle, pigs and fowl of all sorts. The trouble wan that the creatures themselves did not always go by tho book—the old problem of the personal equation. I learned that hens sometimes ate their own eggs, and that ono frequently ran across n temperamental cow. But I have never yet read of a reliable euro for tho wanderlust In turkeys, or the constitutional unreasonableness of pigs. Wo were very rortunnte In getting a good cow before wo had been two VV. N. U. 1408 weeks on the farm. Jim Cameron told us that he believed the Fenwicks, who lived near us, had one for sale. Murray and I went to look at her and as the Fenwicks seemed honest and the cow herself had no outstanding peculiarities, we bought her—and renamed her Carrie, short for Carnation, In memory of tho condensed milk that we had hated as no one should hate a friend In need. Ours was surely beginners' luck. Carrie proved to be a jewel, even if she was only a near-llolsteln. She was, the Fenwicks told me, a late cow. And that mean, as I learned by looking wise and saying nothing, that (he calf which we had not bought was destined to be very young veal in Hie fall, and that Carrie would give milk until Spring. "There's no 6cnse In getting a second cow now,"- said Jim, "she'd just eat her head off all winter so you'd better let romeono else feed her. About the end of March you'll be able to get one with a new calf, and there Is no use laying out your money before you have to. Of course you might get one cheaper during tho winter, for If you look around you'll likely find someone who'd rather have cash than a cow that must be fed." "That would seem ruther like taking advantage or our neighbors, wouldn't It?" I asked Murray, nfter I had repeated Jim's advice to him. "I'mjtfrald you aro not going to find this an Idyllic life," was Murray's reply. "So far as I can Judge, the thing that Is hampering the farmers here Is a lack of ready money. They havo no reserve capital and bo they hnve to sacrifice the future to lhe present. I suppose it Is the history of all new settlements. Don't let It worry you too much, Margaret Anne—remember that If you buy a cow now for less than It would be worth In tbe spring your money may help to pay lhe interest on a loan or to buy groceries. It may be more needed and therefore much more valuable than a cow."

Wns he not u selfish boy" Who would waul to have that kind of child around*—that expects lhe whole house to gel out of his way so ho could blow lllmself? .Some one tells a story of the sweetness of the unselfish life of a little ragged bool black, who sold his kit to gel a iiuarler to pay for a notice in the paper of the death of his little brother. When the kind newspaper man asked if it was his little brother, Willi a quivering chin lie said, "1 had to sell my kit to do it, bbul he had ills arms aroun' my neck when he d-dlcd!" The news went round and that same day at evening, he found his kit on the doorstep, with a bunch of flowers bought witli pennies by his chums, who were touched by his unselfish act. There is something very attractive about a girl or boy who thinks of others and forgets self. I have read of the wonderful St. Bernard dogs In the mountains of Switzerland. There Is a house called a hospice, 8,000 leet above --ea level, where the monks live who keep the dogs to watch for lost travellers who may perish in the snow. Tlie dogs have baskets strapped on their backs, which contain food for lost men. They nre trained so that they will And people and guide them to the place of safety. The story that interested me was of an Englishman who wanted to see the dogs at work. The monks told him that the best dog had been out for some time and thoy were becoming worried over his absence. In ii few moments, in the dog came, looking completely discouraged. He seemed to have no spirit, although all his companions were burking nnd jumping-, around him. The old dog paid no attention, hut went and lay down In a sort of hopeless way. without even wagging ills tail—like all good dogs do that are pleased with themselves. Tlie explanation of the monks made me think. They told lhe Englishman that that was the way the dog always tided whenever ho had fulled to help any traveller. .lust, think, girls nnd boys, of the Instinct or a well trained dog—so deeply sel on helping, that failure, even when he was not to blame for it, made lilin ashamed and sad! Swell we will at leasl be equal lo a trained Si. Bernard. Surely we should far surpass him, by voluntarily, of our own loving choice, seeking to help in a life of shining unselfishness.

I had a severe pain in my chest which would move over to my heart and it became so bad I could not He down, as when I did I had such a smothering feeling I would have to sit up in bed till it passed away.

GOOD RED BLOOD A REALJERVE TONIC Weak, Watery Blood the Source of All Nervousness "If people would utlend to Ihelr blood, instead of worrying themselves 111," said an eminent nerve specialist, | "we doctors would not see our consulting rooms crowded with nervous wrecks. More people suffer from worry than anything else." The sort of thing lho specialist spoke of Is tho nervous, run-down condition caused by overwork and tho many anxieties of to-day. Sufferers find themselves tired, low-splrlted and i unable lo keep Ihelr minds on anything. Any sudden noise hurls them like a blow. They are full of groundless fears, do not sleep well at night. Headaches and oilier nerve pnlns are part of Hie misery, and It nil comes from stand nerves. Doctoring lhe nerves Willi poisonous sedatives Is a terrible mistake, The I only mil tieive Ionic Is n good supply oi rich red blood. Therefore lo relieve nervousness and run-down health Dr. Williams' Pink Pills should lie taken. These pills enrich the blood, which tones the nerves. Improves ihe appetite, gives new strength and ! sjilriis, and makes hitherto despondent j people bright ami cheerful. If you are nt till "out of sorts" you should -begin Inking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.

Continued effort was made to effect a purchase at a reasonable flgUllO. but all to no rpurpose. Finally, as a last resort, and] so as not to hold up the school building, an agreement was drawn up and was to be signed by toaj. Martyn, after which tho Board Secretary was to forward tho stipulated $150 cash payment. By somo error he (tho secretary) sent the cheque along, and when the agreement came ba.<M to the Board it provided for 7 per cet. fob* full term of the unpaid balance "The iand, -insisted Chairman Davison, "la not worth a cent Ivcr $500 and }I wiH hfld and insist that no Interest shall be paid, aa it is neither just nor right" Turning from school matters the speakeui said, "I have been 23 years in the Municipality, and this year being in a position ti devote considerable time to public matters, I am prepared to offer my services for the Council" Among the Hems for the year's economy r would strongly press for a road superintendent, not for eacn ward, as now, but for each "beat" only. The roads are one of our chief ..'urobjemJH and ought to be the very best that the appropriations can secure." MR. R. ISHBRWOOD, as at last week's ratepayers' meeting, urged the making of permanent roads, as "What's worth doing at all is worth doing woll. He fflr,mly believed .in thr policy of applying crushed rock. MR. H. GAMBLE was seeking suf- franoe In Ward 3, and if ejected he would endeavor to give tho best of service. COUN. O, J. WATT justified his course for the two years he had served. He had got all possible for his Ward, and the expenditure for 1923 was $".030. Much more had been asked for by his constituents, but it appeared ilieiy had the idea they were the entire municipality. COUN'. WATT hoped they would reelect him. He would promise his best care. COUN. HILDER grateful for past support*, said ho had ever sought the greatest advance for his Ward, and gt-ncralfly the good of the cltlzons of Maple Rldgo. Like the Reeve, he did not believe In many promises, but his motto was SERVICE, not forgetting the rights of the lesser advantageous ly i*laced. MR, NORMAN OWEN was offering for Ward 4 also, and, If chosen, he woula care for the Interests of the Ward first and last always. EX-COUN. JOHN LILLET was again seeking support at tho ballot box. He thought every dollar should be spoilt with the utmost care, and no Councillor Bh0Ult1 nation any pretense exploit his own private Interest. He severely attacked the expenditure, tastefully n« far as the people, aro concornod, of fBOO on the MoKochnlo road for the purpose "f reselling a certain Councillor's properly and so promoting his own selfish Interest, PrsottloajLiy pol anothojr settlor wns served by this road Mr. y,iil.i. -y was very strongly In favor of helping tho Bottler to got to market, and on this behalf had spent Hoimfe *i niul the last yoar ho sat In making, onifiy in May, roads to enable tho sottiers tn gel nut thoir berry crop a row weeks later.

WHO'S WHO SOME NOTES ON THOSE SEEKING SUPPORT AT THE BALLOT BOX This year there is aspiration oil thi part of two for the chief magistrate's scut, tlie contest being between the prestui Reeve, T, A. Mclvci and Coun- . 111 J no, Q. Martyn, Rccvc 11 elver is a native sou--a brant! pew product of Maple Ridge scholusticolly by interest and in the best welfare sense. Mr. Mclvnr's in- 'umbency of the Reevcship may be said to be hereditary, for his fathei tvns for many yes '• an enthusiastic, ardent and successful member of the earliest councils of the municipality. In 1021 the Reeve was elected by a hand? '.nmc majority and the next two years was the citizens' choice by acclamation. He has been for many years closely identified with tvery welfare movement, and manifestly has been determined to serve his fellow citizens to the best of his ability, setting their interests always above any merely personal interest or end. Councillor is not a man without experience he having filled not a few posts requiring skill and agrcssivencss. lie taught School for a while and has the last year occupied a scat on both the School Board and Municipal Council. For Ward I; Councillor Brooks i.- again a claimant for honors, for he has been quite unsparing in his attention to the members of his constituency. He has the roads in his ward in particularly good shape, and it is safe to say that no citizen has appealed to Councillor Brooks in vain— Iiis aim has ever been for good and gain to his fellow citizens. Councillor Hilder for Ward IV. has proved both his competence and his popularity in relation to every matter effecting his ward in particular and the whole district in general. Unbiassed opinion will freely allow that Capt. Hilder has well earned the esteem of his fellow electors. Councillor Watt, faithful in the hour of his country's call, has sincey his election to the council some two or three years ago, proven that it is as patriotic to live for one's country as to be ready to die for it. He has, like Councillor Hilder, rendered faithful service. For the new candidates it is due to at least introduce them to the electors- how can we intelligently vote for can- didates of whom we know nothing? Ex-Councillor Walter Best needs little by way of introduction, for like the Reeve, he is a native son and has ever proven -himself a citizen whom his fellows have occasion to hold in esteem, Greater, perhaps, than his experience In the council were his struggles in life, for in those early days there were hardships innumerable, all of which young Best met with determination and to final triumph. He is now ready to serve well in the council. R. Isherwood served four years with the Canadian Army and won distinction and since his return been a settler on the .Dewdney Trunk Road. He is like Mr. Walter Best a strong advocate of good roads and prefers decidedly the system of rocking instead of gravelling. He favors insisting that the B, E. E. R. live up to their contract and that they grant a less rate than 11 cents per K. W. Regarding School Board candidates, the electors are not left without good choice. Mrs. Maxwell is too well known to the parents, teachers, and boys and girls to call for much to be said here. For four years she has put the inter- eF's of our future citizens above tvery other consideration and so in the hearts of our youth has erected as it were a monument to service and citizenship. Mr. W. J.' Sparling yielding to the urging of many fellow citizens has this year consented to become a candidate. He is a gentleman of experience and with a record, having for some time, served faithfully on the council (Bir- tle, Man.) and as School Trustee in Sask. Mr. Sparling's selection as School Trustee cannot fail to prove his merit and redound to the honor of the electors.

Mr. Lundgren was appointed the year's collector. Decision was had to get out the pri/e list much earlier this year. There was a large attendance and it is the unanimous idea and aim of the Directorate to have this year's a Bigger, Busier, Better Show than ever. SPECIAL CHURCH SERVICE On Sunday, January 0th. In the SallHbui'*, Methodist Church, lhe Rev, Henry S, Hastings preached a most eloquent sermon. In referring to tbe old year which lias passed, be suggested thai whilst n little Intro spectlon inlghi be profitable, yet too milch would be dungerolls, us ll would unfit us for the great possibilities and responsibilities a wailing ns in the future, lie exhorted his congregation to make the most of every opportunity in making 102*1 the very best year in their own lives nnd the life of the Church, Prior lo I lie sermon the Rev. ! la slings and Mr. and Miss Brock of Mnple Ridge sang a trio, "Ills Love Will Never Fail," followed by another trio before the offering, "In the Garden," holh of \\ hicll were rendered with deep expression, Three hymns were beautifully sung by the congregation which was n very good one, nnd Mrs. Mouuee accompanied at the organ in her usual sweet manner, The whole service was u real benediction. The monthly meeting and bailies' Aid social of the Salisbury Methodist Church was held on Thursday afternoon January 3rd 111 the home of Mrs. S, A. Kenuell, There were 21 present and afler transacting their usual business, lhe ladies felt qnlle al home and spenl a very joyful time over the ten-cups, REEVE MOVER'S CANDIDACY Reeve J. A. Mclver is, on the insistent urging of his many friends, again a candidate for the Cheif Magistary nor without strong grounds, for he has proved more than ordinary merit. During his three years service he has perfect attendance and so is posted on every detail of business transacted. Those who have followed the acts of the Council for the past three years will readily concide that Reeve Mclvdr has given close attention to all matters under consideration and has at all times employed, judical care. He has not once, it is safe to say rushed a decision but rather taken time to weigh matters from every viewpoint and the act as seemed best for the citizens. None can for a moment charge the Reeve with favoring any party or clique if such there were, but, instead, every had careful consideration and all persons have been listened to with consid- erateness, whether it was at council board or in private audience. The prin- cvciple followed has been equal and just regard to everyone. In a word Reeve Mclvor has weel proven unselfish service—service for the good of his constituents.

I believe the tender for the Hammond route was around 9000 and Ihe Haney route from $1)00 to $1,000} I, myself, was offered it for $1,200, but thought that too low. The department considered the tenders too high, and consequently laid them by.

As the lecture developed it wns evident n noble elnss nf the public service was having Its deeds of heroism, intrepidity and unsurpassed sense of honor unveiled, as it were, and, safe to say, It wns a revelation to all. Beginning with a small force the Royal North-West Mounties rose to 150 and then to 300 and yet with this number competently officered a territory larger than the old Roman Empire and bigger, too, than many combined realms of Europe. "Mid-West Canada under control to Canada came in and the old Hudson's Bay Company went out." Most interesting was the proclamation making this change—the lecturer was able to quote it, "By the (•race of God" became a much caught phrase and so we had "White Fish Lake by the Grace of God," etc. Back and forth the Mounties passed, braving everything—they often traversed "where scarcely a human foot could pass or a human heart would dare." From Manitoba to Fort McLeod they passed so swiftly that it would uppear that they covered at the same time all parts of the vast field. It wns pleasing to learn thnt "no place in the whole world," in the words of the Rev, lecturer, "saw such fair nnd gentle treatment of the native tribes, indeed, the Indians recognized the Police us their special friends." Thus the work of taking over the vnst "Lone Land" was soon accomplished—practically the tusk of some six weeks only. Most interesting was the account of how tlie great Chief Crowfoot and his aids, after a two days' discus- ion arrived at terms of treaty, averring Hint the lied Coats had always kept their word and also that, they (the Indians) were not. afraid to stand up before the new-comers. No thought of a rebellion or revolution. Soon we find Crowfoot nnd several of his braves riding on the C. P. R. fender to the Rocky" Mountains Instead of being tlie leader of wide-spread last Great West Rebellion. Thrilling witli interest was the account of the way these Mounties assisted the early settlers and by riding up und asking "any complaints," came to be regarded as the very saviors of the settlers, indeed, in ninny instances too much was expected of them In the way of finding strayed cattle or horses. Many of the thrilling ndventures were related so almost to appear ns real present scenes. In one case a little girl of \ years Is lost, a ltoynl Force sallies out from Ileglna and without stay or cessation for 48 hours they search foot by foot till the little one Is found und restored to Its mother's arms. Those men proud In the majosty of their accomplishment. Another case wns Hint of a grenl nralrlo, flro, which was swooping the plains In defiance of strenuous exertions to stem Its progress.

Canadian wheat exports for the twelve months ending September 30th, 1923, amounted to 226,747,861 bushels, valued at $259,445,8.18, while for the twelve months ending September, 1922, they were 160,637,- 898 bushels, valued at $194,577,125, according to a report of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. Exports of bacon from Canada to Great Britain increased almost 3,- 000,000 pounds during the first nine months of the current calendar year. For this period, during 1922, there were 70,988,000 pounds of Canadian bacon shipped to the British market, while this year the corresponding figure rose to 73,- 934,000 pounds. The value of the asbestos exports of Camds for the 12 months ended August, 1923, according to the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, exceeded tht value of those of the previous year by nearly 83,000,000. These exports for the last year amounted to 202,646 tons, valued at 88,376,- 249, compared with 122,785 tons, valued at $5,604,651 in 1922, The first consignment of 1,000 pounds of British Columbia Douglas fir seeds has been shipped to the British Forestry Commission, London, by the Dominion Forestry Branch, from its plant at New Westminster, British Columbia. The seeds were extracted from the cones recently gathered In the Fraser Valley districts. BAiraT HA MAS BTTSY SXaglOlf The regular monthly meeting of the Haney P.T.A was held In MIssMor- ley's noom on Monday. After reading of Treasurer's and Secretary's reportsi the meeting was left open for a discussion of playround equipment. It was decided that the Association woula start Immediately to raiae funds for equipment of playground, but the money raised wonld not be, used for somo time; owing to unfavorable weather and ti.e bad condition of the Haney school grounds. The matter of the Dental Cllnio was brought up. It was decided that no further steps (would be taken until answers wore reoeivd from the other P.T.A.'s of the Municipality voicing their opinions of same. Bible reading In the schools was then discussed and approved of. It wis moved that a resolution be sent .o tho Department to that effect. It was decided that next meeting would be htild in the evening. An Illustrated lecture was suggested and approved of. It was moved that tho Secretary write Prof. Wlnm nnd engage him for tho evening. A silver collodion will be taken at the door. Tho lecture will be held in the High School if the use of that hulldlng can be obtained. Miss Vclmn Burnett rendered a delightful piano solo, Tn tho competition for member: Miss McDonald's room again took honoris, and In a furthor drive Mrs Tyner nnd Miss McDonald will lend on. Miles Morley handed over towards the expenses of the Association the ■nim nf fin, proceeds nf n school eon- 'ert. Miss Mopjey was suitably thanked. Mrrt Armstrong was good enough ngnln to lend her lumps for the session. The year 1923 will sea a new record In Alberta coal production. It is expected the total production for the year will reach 7,000,000 tons, In comparison with less than 6,000,- 000 last year. Tht production up to November 1st is 1,500,000 ton* greater than the production for the same period list year. The record production previously was in 1920, when 6,400,000 tons were produced. The pay-roll this year is expected to exceed $18,000,000. Great interest is being manifested In the International Dog Derby to bt run at Quebec during the Winter Carnival on February 21st, 22nd and 23rd, 1924. Tht net is for teams of huskies driven by Indians, trappers, traders, mail carriers and others. At present ten entries have been received and others art expected from the north shore of the St. Lawrence and from the Abitibl mining district As navigation will soon close, it will be necessary for entries from the latter district to mush 400 miles to reach Quebec. About five American teams will probably take part, their object being to regain the gold cup for the United States. nt, roBD as Ono sometimes feels a kind otduty lo express bis knowledge of another especially when that other may stand a bit In need. It was In M908 that I was out on tbo road, as they Bay, travelling for the big iMedical ['Publishing Houses, and really possessed of much less confidence In myseflf than my companies reposed la mo. Early In that .\enr—It was J at LadysnUth—I met Mr. S. IT. Ford, then tho chief sales man for cliuloaer and Mitchell, of Victoria, tin, biggest—nt that time— Jewelers In B.C. Busy and all as he was, be took time nnd pains to set mo, an tho snylnp; goes, on my feot, nnd taught som)D of the ways of salesmanship;. |at all events lent a most ifrlendfly hand—His was the principle of rendering assistance wherever such might be needed. We journeyed together for months, and I have to say that I never travelled with a bettor man. I always and invnriably found him truo to his word, square and upright in nil his dealings, and meeting with respect wherever he went. Two qualities especially Impressed me, i.e., his strong sense and application of "Do to others as you would wish to he done bv" and his ability as a business man— I have mot few his superiors. I. came to feel thnt he would succccdl where hundreds would fall. Noticing Mr. Ford's candidacy for Councillor, I would say he should b» a valuable man to select ■ for the CounoH Board, and I have no doubt but that Ms fellow-cltliens will cheerfully accept the offer of his servicea J. J. DOUGAN What might have resulted in a very serious train wreck was avoided in the nick of time on the Canadian Pacific Railway Parry Sound subdivision, by section foreman Con- zani, who while patrolling the track near Brignall recently discovered two large iron nuts on top of the rails, securely fastened with hay wire. Tht foreman had just time to unfasten the wire and remove the nuts to clear the track for a train was due in five minutes. Two boys in the vicinity admitted, after questioning, that they wired the nuts to tht rails. They were sentenced to the local shelter for one month and their fathers were required to give bond and report to the authorities for two years. STUDENTS! A COINCIDENCE Maple Ridge students this year in the University of B. C. are—to thcir parents' honor — Eric Lazcnby, Wm. Brown, Edgar Rcid, Allan Baillic, David Charlton, M. Tamura, Eric Jackson and Jas. F. Brown, the last named taking his M. A. course, and at the same time lecturing in the University in trigonometry and algebra. He will next term have geometry also. Attending the Vancouver Normal School are Laura Madill, Hazel Trcm- bath, Lillian Fenton and May Graham. Is it not a coincidence that the eight university students are all boys while the four Normalites are girls. Stick a pin here for thought. The merchants throughout the municipality had a good Xmas trade and report money fairly plentiful. One Hammond merchant disposed of 350 boxes of Jap oranges. The Pitt Meadows Municipal Council has in hand a Traffic By-Law to limit loads on bridges to four tons. Some heavy trucks now carry eight tons. The Pitt Meadows assessment shows a slight reduction for 1924. The collector's roll showed $13,210.57 collected in taxes and rates for 1923. Evidence given by farmers before tbe U.S. Tariff Commission showed that under American railway rates a bushel of wheat could bt hauled only 85 miles for one cent, while under Canadian rates the same amount of monay would move the same amount of grain 86 miles. American farmers claim that this is a saving in favor of the Canadian producer of 44 per cent, or about 8 cents a bushel. The reason given for the difference is that in the United States grain rates are based on cost of moving It to-day, while in Canada they are based on 1897 costs, when the Crow's Nest Pass agreement was made between the Government and the Canadian Pacific. < 'When They Have Gone" The past comes up—childhood days—happy hours by the 'Ire- side—their hopes and joys— and trials, too. You can keep the memory of their names forever fresh hy giving some little part of the blessings you now enjoy towards a permanent memorial In everlasting stone.

Banting, of Toronto,] the discoverer c,r lho Insulin trentnienl tor diabetes, is a well deserved tribute j and recognition of what has been hulled throughout the medical world as Ih greatest boon conferred on mankind in preventative medicine since the ill coverles of Pasteur. And Dr. Banting lias conferred additional honor upon; himself by Immediately donating (16,000 of Ills prize money towards the cstab-| lishment oi' a Fund for medical research in Canada. The whole world Is at lust beginning lo take seriously to heart tbe mi Hi of the old saying that an ounce of prevention is worth u pound ot euro. Governments the world over, assisted by great voluntary organizations like the anli-Tuberculosls Associations, the Ked Cross Society, and kindred bodies, anil nii'ii-ol' groat wealth, are engaged in work of the most energetic kind noi only to find scientific means of combatting nnd preventing disease, but in edu- catlng the masses of the people everywhere that by lhe adoption and adherence to simple health rules most, of the sickness anil disease, and consequent sufT, ring that now n fillet s tho human race can be completely banished. Vellow fever, once the scourge of certain countries; is now practically unknown. 11 has been isolated into a few small areas and successful efforts nre now in progress to stamp it out entirely. It has been established that through the use of toxin anti-toxin people ran be niaile immune from diphtheria. Smallpox, once a common disease which carried off people, by the thousands, Is now quite rare, and most of the cases which develop of a mild type. II. too, is being wiped out. Tuberculosis is siill a terrible scourge, but it has now been demonstrated that it Is not an incurable disease, and if treated in its earlier stages can be successfully overcome. More Important still is Hie arousing of people generally to a knowledge that tuberculosis enn be prevented by the adoption of simple rules of living, plain wholesome food, lois of fresh air and sunshine. In fact, nature has provided tree of charge nil lhe essentials of good health If people would only make use of them. Sleeping iu rooms with windows open and kept fresh and clean by sunshine and fresh air, instead of closing them up like prison cells. If followed in all homes would do more lo eradicate tuberculosis lhan all lhe sanatoria ever built, ll would result In stronger healthier children both physically nnd menially. Next in Importance to fresh air anil sunshine comes lhe plentiful use of water and milk. The adoption of habile of cleanliness, washing the hands before handling food, care of tho teeth, protection or the homes against Hies, the careful! disposal of all refuse and rubbish, and the guarding against contamination of the water supply—these things do nol cosl much money and if systematically followed do not lake much tlnio.

Deplores Pessimistic Outlook Everyone Should Help in Reconstruc tion of World Says Rev, Henry van Dyke The appearance of so many pessl- mlslli; books of lale was deplored by the Itev. Dr. Henry van Dyke In ii sermon in the Park Avenue Presbyterian Church, New York, of which his only son, tho Rov. Torlius van Dyko, is lhe pastor. "When Elijah went into Hie cave he had a bad case ol pessimism," declared Dr. vun Dyke. "Ho thought, all the world was wrong, going to Hie had, anil Hint he only was faithful to God und to duly, lie attempted to prove Ibis by having nothing more to do With tho world and isolating himself in n cave. There aro many men today affected by this form of self-righteous pessimism. They tell US I hat tho 'great Nordic race' is vanishing, that 'the revolt against civilization is sure to succeed, that 'Eur- ope Is hopeless,' and therefore America should keep out of il, and so on. What is this bill going into the cave? The si ill, small voice of (lod calls us to come out, to bear a hand In the struggle for right, to do our duty and trust Hod for victory.

There were countries that were like the fixed stars in the armament that have crashed into atoms. The earth quivers in Europe, and no one can tell how far it has been shocked out of its course. Don't be hard on Europe. "What is the real problem in Europe today? 1 will tell you. In spite of the war, because Europe has been left so much to herself, she still believes in force. Why? "Prance says, 'Justice never' gave Alsace-Lorraine buck. We bad to lose a million of our young men; you, In the British Empire, had to lose SO0,(jl'O of your young men. Force gave It back 10 us.'

Control Of Insects Natural Enemies Should be Used to Help Fight Farmers' Pests The value of the natural enemies ol injurious insects as a means of successful control was the topic of an address at a meeting of the Entomological Society of Ontario, given by Dr. A.

Dr. Burgess lias made a special study of tho gypsy and brown tall mollis for a number of years, and is ERfS IVER "" "fl Purely vegetable. , one of the authorities on their history, I habits and control. He said that the natural enemies of these insects were ; a powerful means of control, and that in the case of all other Injurious ln- ; sects natural enemies should be Intro- I duced from the native soil of lhe pest so as to keep them Under control. j Norman Crlddle, Entomological i Branch at Treesbank, Man., spoke ol ■. two problems in natural control and mentioned lhe wheat slem eawfly as the moat serious pest of wheat In Manitoba.

To niake certain that the game regulations will be observed the government authorities have evolved a plan for the erection of game guardians' cabins nt various strategic points anil at the present time have flflecn of these put up.

Its main effect, like that of all lhe other Paris treaties, would havo been to aid the victorious powers In preserving their domains. Near Hi' main manufacturing plan! of the biggest French munition firm is n luxurious clubhouse, erected for the entertainment, of customers. Among the trophies of lhe main entrance hall are framed photographs of half the prewar sovereigns of Europe, wiih their retinues, who had come there to purchase artillery and other war implements. It is a gruesome sight. In the meantime Hie whole subject of traffic in arms needs the earnest study of all friends of peace. Undei what, circumstances is the sale of a cannon to be permitted, a machine gun, a rifle, a revolver? To reach unanimity on these subjects Is not easy. So much depends on the point of view. The advertisements of the revolver manufacturers, for instance, always picture Hie goods offered for sale as being used In the defence of peaceful homes. They never hint peaceful homes. They never hint that the weapons recommended also meet Hie requirements of the housebreaker and marauder. The international situation is similar, Appropriations for armaments are always asked for in lhe name of peace, for defensive purposes. And yet there are wars.' Likewise, It will be urged that If war Implements are not to be bought, how can oppressed races ever hope to gain independence? Modern arms canuoi be made except by elaborate machinery, but they can easily be smuggled. The obverse side of (he shield Is lho secret aid given by some powers to lhe rebellious subjects of another power. Though perhaps justifiable under certain circumstances, the motive Is seldom ml altruistic one. More of ten private manufacturing concerns make large profits from smuggling arms and thereby Incite disorder. Sometimes tho sale of munitions of war Is a part of an official though perhaps secret political programme, In which ease only a general treaty providing far a limitation of armaments can be effective, in 191ft, men close to President Wilson stressed tho ileslr ability of making munitions a Government monopoly so as to remove profit hunger us an Incentive of war.

In 1922 the average return was $228 an acre. Next in line came tobacco, bringing $177 an acre as an average, followed in turn by hops, $100; potatoes, $60; rice, $37; cotton, $35; hay, $19; corn, $18; wheat, $14; barley. $13; oats, $11; rye, $10. The high return for cranberries Is accounted for by the fact that they have to be grown In a bog and are picked by hand.

It relieves the troubles which cause such symptoms as backache, painful periods, irregularities, tired, worn-out feelings andnervousness. This is shown again and again by such letters aa Mrs. McMahon writes, as well as hy one woman telling another.
