Druggist and Stationer, AGASSIZ AGASSIZ: PRETTY HOMES The Ilollairler prides himself °n his home, a prominent feature of which Is his garden. But we do not have to go out of our own town to find homesof beauty. One of these Is the domicile of Mr. Chas. Lovell, for 30 years in charge of the C.P.R. section hero. Both Mr. and Mis. Lov ell are English, and so take it that the homo should bo at once attractive and happy. A good garden Is a bit of the fine arts, and almost for a life-time Mrs. Lovell has cultivated the art, even long before the C.P. R. began glvlnu: prizes for the best gardens of those connected with their employees. It is one thing to keep tho flowers ; It's a bigger thing to make them the possession and joy of one's neigh- born as herself. This latter is the n'trulstlc path taken by Mrs, Lovell. She, indeed, believes in bestowing! them In life, not in a sort of post mortem way. The floral gifts of Mrs. Lovell have not been simply to local people, but such acts of kindness have been the lot of such Important personages as Lady Thomaa of Cambridge, Sir John Sinclair. Lord Strotl^ona, Sir Osorga Berry, tho Duke and Duchess oil Con- naught and the prince of "Wales. This many-times prise garden will speak for Itself. "Honor to whom honor Is due," Ou:» readers will all be glad to see a picture of this treasure trove. B.O.

MR. CAMPBELL'S RETIREMENT REGRETTED Mr, Jun.cs It. Campbell who hns conducted the butcher business at the Agassiz Meat Market for the past 5 years disposed of the business to Roy Whelpton, who is taking it over shortly. Mr. 11. Andrews has been retained for the time being, and will still be found at his old place on the Block. It is quite superfluous to introduce Mr. Hoy Whelpton In this district as the fact of him being born nnd raised in Agassi/ is sufficient and besides liiin being brought up, we may say, in the butcher business, his father having built up (be business in tbe first place to Which Roy has fallen heir. Roy has had some good training under Mr. Campbell and also at thc coast. We are satisfied he will make good nnd are sure that he can depend on all,the old timers to help him in Ms undertaking on account of the late Mr. Joe Whelpton (his father) who was a very popular man. The reason for Mr. Campbell leaving Agassiz is because he has seen a chance to better himself, having bought out the City Meat Market at Chiliiwack from Mr. It. J. Bamford, the largest and beBt equipped meat market in the Fraser Valley, having an ammonia cold storage plant valued at $4,000 as well as all the latest electric machinery, including a Silent Ruffnlo Cutter, Enterprise Cutter and Bone Crusher. Mr. Campbell intends to buy a 20 acre* farm near Chiliiwack and build a slaughter house on it. Everyone seems to-be of one uc- ord, that Agassiz Is loosing one of its best business men in Mr. Campbell nnd that he and Mrs. Campbell, with their little family Morag and inn. will be sadly missed. We wish them every success in their new venture. HOTEL BELLA VISTA AGASSIZ. B.C MRS. PROBERT, Proprietress E. PROBERT, Manager. Visit the Government Farm. See Harrison Hot Springs.

DOORS ELINOR MARSDEN ELIOT Author of "My Canada," in.a Othtr Published by Special Arrangement with tlie Author (Continued) l wish there were a more beautiful word than scent or perfume or aroma or smell to give a name to the wild strawberry's first appeal to the senses. Our Anglo-Saxon forefathers must have been loss sensitive lo such impressions lhan we aro, their ono word Is so inexpressive and so unnecessarily ugly. And all the others have an exotic artificiality that makes them unsuitable when one speaks of straw- berries or wild roses or camp-fires 01 snow on a frosty spring morning. We picked berries that day until when at night. I closed my eyes I could see them hanging in clusters. But ihere is nothing dream-like or imaginary in the row of strawberry preserves that gladdens my house-wifely heart. At noon Murray built a fire and we made tea, baked potatoes in the coals —they were not a great success, but the twins loved them—and then ate Incredible quantities of sandwiches and pie and hard-boiled eggs and cold roast chicken. Later in the season we picked raspberries—and a wasp's nest—and wild plums and pin-elionies and cranberries, but. no other day can compare with the one of the strawberry picnic. Our tennis tournament was held one fall'ly cool Saturday afternoon, Mr. Macleod and Jean and .lim had drop ped in and in some way the talk turned to tennis, Maudie remarking thai we had the foundation for a good grass court at the side of the house. One suggestion after another was made, and in the end Murray and Jim put up a length of poultry wire for a net and witli our two racquets and soft rubber balls belonging to the children we played a series of "sudden death" games on an entirely new system of elimination. 1 had only play ed twice since Murray came home, .lim and .Jean had never played before, and Murray and Mr. Macleod not since before they went overseas. Maudie, In fact, was the only one of us who was in practice, but while she played MRS. DAVIS NERVOUS WRECK TellsWomenHow She Was Restored to Perfect Health by Lydia E.

C W. N. I'. 1609 a steady and uninteresting game ahe] was no match for Mr. Macleod's wicked serve. in the end, due purtlj tn luck, portly lo a natural quickness and partly to the fact thai he made me laugh so much lli.il I missed almost every ball, it was Jim who carried off ihe prize, a chocolate cake thai had been intended for OUl' Sunday supper. When Maudie went home sliu sent out a box of balls, (he boys marked the courts properly, and we had many a good game, ,11m developing inlo so last a player ihal 1 do not know what lie would have done on a hard court, Maudie seemed scarcely to have come before il was time for her lo go away again. Sin- and Murray, without consulting me, decided thai I was io visit, her for Thiinksgiviitg^week." And if you are here next summer I'm coming again, whether you invite mo or not," she called from Ihe back platform as the trnjn pulled out. Teddy came the next day with a whoop and a rush and much energy lo he expended. He found many changes and Improvements about the place and gave his approval to all. "But what 1 like best," he confided lo me, "is tlie difference in Murray. Gee, lie isn't the same chap that came here al all! And Isn't the old boy some farmer? lie seems to have .taken it great fancy to the life." He found the children grown, of course, and he. agreed wiih me ihal. Rupert had lost much ol his susceptibility lo minor ailments. "And you yourself seem different, somehow," he said, eyeing me critically. 'I used to think you'd miss your old friends and lhe city ways pretty timd, but you surely bide it well if you do. Everyone I meet out here tells me what a fine sister-in-law I have1. And," with a disarming grin, "you're not. getting any worse-looking, either." Teddy, Murray and I were belli glad to see, no longer talked of coming farming with us or of seeking his fortune in the North. He had, he told us, decided to stay in Ihe bank until business improved, and then he would try to get Into some other line where his banking experience would be of service, hut. where advancement, would be more rapid. "Just between ourselves," he admitted, "I'm lucky to have a job of any sort, when you think oT the number of fellows who can't get work. This winter I plan to take the short commercial course that the University is giving, I don't Ihink I'd ever make a doctor or a lawyer or a minister, but maybe J. Edward Aylwin will be complroller-general yet—about the same time.that the Hon. Murray Aylwin is Minister of Agriculture." "That's right, son," asid Murray approvingly, "and in the meantime I hope you'll spend all your holidays at Herrington's Hope, so as to get the farmers' point of view." "Vou just bet I will," replied Teddy seriously. "It's the best sort of place for a holiday, though I've given up the idea that I'd make a good hired man." It. was, however, surprising the number of things Teddy found to do during the two weeks he spent with us. Clad for ordinary occasions in a pair of riding-breeches, a khaki shirt, and puttees—which, while undoubtedly picturesque, must have been fearfully liot—he was busy from morning until night. Aided and abetted by lhe twins hi' "landscaped gardened" the part of the creek-bank that Murray had not had time to all end lo, and built a rustic summer-house in the psychological spot. So successful was his rustic carpentry that, he next constructed what he called a pergola, and I a porch, at the kitchen door. "Next summer you'll plant scarlet runners Ihere," he ordered, "Mother always has them at home and I'll ask her to send you some seeds." He seemed really disappointed that there was nothing for him to build about the stable or the hen-house, and to relieve hla feelings he cleaned and oiled machinery and groomed tlie horses until everything shone. And then one day when Murray was comparatively free Ihe two of them built a Heaver Hoard partition lo divide lhe long nursery into Iwo bedrooms, an improvement I had long desired. But of course we did not lei Teddy work all the time. Our neighbors wero taking breath between haying and harvest, and so we could do more visiting and entertaining than would have been possible either earlier or later In the season. Mrs. Mowbray gave one oi her all-embracing parties for Lilali Armstrong, the Fenwicks and the Sevcrns invited us out for lea, ami one very pleasant afternoon when Murray had to go to spruce Greek I took Teddy and the twins lo call on Mrs. (lagoon. In return we had one of our Saturday afternoon gatherings for lhe younger people, Jean and her cousin, the Seyerns, the Cameron boys and Mr. Macleod. Antl Teddy, bless him. made friends wllh everyone—"awfully decent people I call them," he said lo me. The one dark spot on the season's gaiety was Lilah Armstrong—who WOUld be horrified to hear herself described as a dark spot. Under ordinary circumstances I should, I am sure, have been sorry for the girl, for she is one of (he people who have never had a chance, bul she made so milch trouble for Jean and Jim Ihal I cannot find it In my heart to pity her. Her mother, a sister of Mrs. Mowbray, died while quite young, and left Lilah a child of only two. Iter marriage had not been a* happy one and the young father losl no time in providing the child wiih a step-mother of his own kind, a shallow, selfish woman who resented Lihili's presence when she was young and infected her with her own false ideals when she grew Into a pretty and attractive girl. Health and Comfort AS age advances our wants are not many and with reasonably good health we can enjoy the peaceful period of life in comfort and happiness. But unfortunately there are certain ills which conspire to destroy the pleasure of this time in life and they arc usually of a decidedly painful nature. The kidneys are often the first of the bodily organs to fail. Then the poisonous acids which should be eliminated by the kidneys circulate in the blood and cause backache, rheumatism, lumbago and the many ailments which make life so miserable. There has, perhaps, never been a medicine So well suited for people of advancing years as Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills. This statement is founded on the many thousands of cases reported to us from time to time. The success of Dr. Chase's Kidney- Liver pills is due to their direct und specific action on the liver, kidneys and bowels whereby the accumulating poisons arc quickly swept from the system and the cause of pains and aches promptly removed. Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills do not lose their effect on the system as do so many medicines but can be depended on absolutely to bring about the desired results. Used one pill a dose at bedtime as often as is necessary to keep the bowels regular, they relieve indigestion, biliousness and constipation and keep the system in healthful condition. You will notice that while the price of Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills has been, increased to 35 cents, the box now contains 35 pills instead of 25 as formerly. Likewise the price of Dr. Chase's Nerve Food is now 60 cents a box of 60 pills instead of 60 cents for 60 pills. Edmanson Bates & Co., Ltd., Toronto. OLD BOX 25; TO CHASES KIDNEY UVE PIUS ONE PILL A DOSE ONE CENT A DOSE NEWBOX "Lilah Is ray own sister's child," said .Mrs. Mowbray to me, "but she is a handful, and she is so nasty to Jean that I'm out of patience with her sometimes. But I suppose it isn't all her fault, so I just do the best I can for her and perhaps when she is older she will mend her ways." Lilah is pretty, there is no room for doubt, on that score. And what Nature has not done for her she does for herself. Our quiet, countryside had never seen such hair and complexion and eyebrows as hers, such short skirts and silk stockings and high- heeled shoes. And her mother is as artificial as her face. She admitted at once to being "horribly bored" in the company of women, but let a man appear on the horizon and she was all animation. "I don't know how you exist here," she?' said to me the second time wo mot. "Of course Auntie and Jean have always lived In the country and I suppose Ihey don't mind, but you must bc awfully fed up." I assured her that I was quite happy and thai I telt myself exceedingly fortunate in having come to a district where the neighbors w^ve so congenial. "Oh, bul you're absolutely dippy about your husband," she said wllh a slung anil a smlft that I hated her for, "anyone can see that. 1 would simply die here. I couldn't be like Jean, contented io live in a nil, wllh nn company except a lot of older married people who can't talk about, anything bul crops and politics." "Jean does not need lo be amused all the lime," 1 pointed out, "she has resources within herself. And you must remember that while there are, unfortunately, no other girls in the district we have some fine young men —Mr. Macleod and the Cainerons and the Farrells and . . ." "So far as I'm concerned," Lilah interrupted with another shrug, "the only one of them that has any pep Is Jim Cameron, and, of course, he is just a hick." "Who is just a hick?" asked Jean as site came inlo the room. "Your Jim Cameron," Lilah replied, "I wish he could have six months in Ihe city, then he would be some goer. I wouldn't mind taking him on myself, he'd be quite good-looking once he got rid of his country Inn, I'm so dark that I don't, mind red hair." Jean was probably angrier than I, but she did not show it. (To be continued) For 200 years Holland has been a leading factor in the cocoa Industry.

Hamilton, General Manager of tho Union Bank ot Canada, A Quebec Woman Found Relief and Wants Others to Know Mrs. Donald M. McLeod, Sprlnghill, Que., was a victim of great nervousness until she found the right remedy, and is now anxious that others shall profit by her experience. Mrs. McLeod says:—"Some years ago I became run down and grew so nervous that my life was a burden to myself and all around me. Every night I would wake up with a choking feeling, numb all over and my heart beating at an alarming rate. 1 would jump up and walk the floor and declare I was dying. Then I would have sinking spells, and all day long would be so dizzy that I would stagger like a drunken person. I was afraid to be left alone, and my condition was terrible. I was then taken to the Sherbrooke hospital, but tlie treatment there did me no good and I came back home so weak that I could hardly cross the floor, I could not take care of my children, and my mother did so. Everybody thought I was dying, and I was just wailing and wondering when the end would come. At this stage my attention was directed to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I got a supply at once. By the time I had used five boxes 1 felt much bet ter, could eat better, and sleep)better, and felt almost like a new woman. I continued the pills for some time further, and am now a strong and healthy woman.- I advise all rundown women to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as I am sure they will do lot- others what they have done for me." The new sales tax will not increase tlie price of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, as the company pays the tax.

Union Bank Annual Report Canada's Western Bank Is In a Very Healthy Condition Westerners will review with considerable satisfaction the operations of the Union Bank for the fiscal year ending Nov. 30, 1923. It has been without doubt one ot the most trying, periods which bunking and business houses in general have faced for some time and the fact that this important institution, which has grown with the great western country in which its head ofllce is located, can show a net profit amounting to $1,033,132.15 for the year is not only very satisfactory, but a matter for congratulation. These figures, it may be noted, are almost as large as in 1922. The 59th Annual Statement demonstrates the solidity of the bank. It shows total assets of $128,299,679.36, while $57,877,689.11 represents quick and readily realizable assets, which is equal to 49.8 per cent, of the bank's liabilities to the public. Included in these assets are: Specie and Dominion notes, $10,083,387.90; deposit with the minister of finance, $396,000; deposit in the central gold reserve, $2,- 800,000; Dominion and provincial government securities, $16,194,856.43; Canadian municipal securities, and British, foreign and colonial public securities other than Canadian, $7,- 035,660.77; railway and other bonds, debentures and stocks, $3,505,171.06; call and short (not exceeding 30 days) loans in Canada, on bonds, debentures and stocks and other securities of sufficient marketable value to cover, $1,096,035.25; demand loans in Canada secured by grain, $9,107,471.93; cheques on other banks, $4,192,561.55. One of the outstanding features of the report is the marked decrease in loans outside Canada, indicating that Canadians and the needs of Canada have first call upon the resources of the Bank. The statement shows that deposits now total nearly one hundred million dollars, the actual figures being $95,- 621,250.78. Of that amount $67,131,- 589.77 represents savings accounts and the balance, $28,179,661.01, demand deposits. The figures contained in the statement augur well for the ruturo of the west. The institution, through the conservative policies of those who guide it, is in a good position, and the showing made in 1923 warrants the continued active support of all for a bank which is doing so much toward the development of Western Canada. The Union Bank and the west have progressed together In expansion and development, and just as the resources of the Illimitable west are as yet scarcely scratched, so the Union Bank of Canada is but standing on the threshold of a long period of ever Increasing activity aud added strength. Miss Mary ' Katherine Campbell, twice proclaimed "Miss America," has takeu TANLAC and endorses it In a statement recently given to tho women of America through International Proprietaries, Inc., distributors of this great tonic. In this statement, Miss America declares that Good Health is the basis of all Beauty, and advises women who would be beautiful to "first find good health." Her complete statement as given is as follows: "1 consider it a great privilege to be able to tell the thousands of women everywhere what a great tonic TANLAC is. Health is tlie basis of all beauty. Without good health, one is apt to be run down, nervous, underweight, high -strung, anaemic. Indigestion drives tlie roses from a woman's cheeks and robs her of that radiant quality of womanhood that is real beauty. "I have taken TANLAC and I do not hesitate to say that It is a wonderful health-giving tonic. It has brought relief and good health to many women, and with good health one may have a measure of beauty that will overcome shortcomings in faco and figure. "Itosy cheeks, sparkling eyes, a well- rounded figure, a lovable disposition, go hand in hand with good health. To those searching for beauty, I would say—'First or all, Find Good Health.' Tho TANLAC treatment lias proven Itself a boon to womankind, and I recommend it." Miss Campbell has written a booklet on Health and Beauty which may be secured by filling out the coupon below.

Pyorrnei* seldom hurts until so far advanced that the gums ulcerate, of course, you do not want to wear false teeth—o plate—all Hie rest of your days. You know how uncomfortable these nre. You know how hard it is to fit false teeth to even the most, perfect mouth. Why run the risk of discomfort when your teeth can be saved, your gums healed'.' Pyorrheu, or Rlgg's Disease, conquered, your stomach, bowels, heart und nervous system brought hack to normal, PYORRHEA IS DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH. Your family doctor will tell you that pyorrhea is often responsible fin* many diseases such us rhoum- iitism, neuritis, kidney trouble, etc. These perms enter your whole system and undermine your health. Doctors warn that nearly nil germs enter tbe body through the mouth or nose. If your gums are healthy end tight to the teeth there enn he no infection nnd germs cannot penetrate into the system. At the first sign of unhealthy gums consult your dentist. Your natural pearly teeth cannot be perfectly replaced by false teeth. A person should have the teeth cleaned (-very three months by a dentist, nnd a close examination of all teeth to see if any nre decayed. Tbe mouth acids—the chief cause of tooth decay—ore forming all the time. Only tlie six tiny month glands can cheek these destructive acids by flushing the mouth constantly. Full normal flow from these glands neutralizes ami washes a^ay the neids as fast as they form but the glands need exercise Soft foods hnve taken away the proper exercise. The glands nre slowing down nnd letting the teeth decay. You must give your mouth glands the help they need. Eat food which will exereise and make the salivary glands flow more freely and keep the gums active.. It Is well when brushing your teeth to brush the gums thoroughly. Nothing is more vital to your health and happiness than the condition of your mouth. Soft, bleeding receding gums are natures first warning of pyorrhea. WT1V TEETH LOOSE BEAUTY. A vicious film clings to the teeth, enters crevices and slays. The tooth brush alone does not end it. No ordinary tooth paste effectively combats it. Much film remains. Food stains, etc., discolor it and then it forms dingy coats. Tartar Is based on film. Those cloudy coats hide the teeth's luster — film also holds food substances which ferments und forms neid. It holds the neid in contact with the teeth to cause decay. That's why so few escape tooth troubles. Germs breed by millions in film. They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. Final — Start immediately to get your mouth into a normal, healthy condition. Use a dentifrice which is alknline in reaction so as to neutralize the acids In your mouth. Use a mouth wash and have your dentist make nn examination of your teeth every six months. See to your teeth In time, which means good health nnd money In your pocket. A. C.

Hut even so, Western Canada is 8nly in the A.B.C. stage nf learning the lesson and realizing I tic benefits of co-operative effort. Anil, as slated in a recent article in this column, the outstanding need of the country is more, nol less, co-operation; more self-reliance tat the pari of the individual, less leaning ou Governments, and closer, more effective co-operdtlon by all people iu their respective communities, districts and provinces. Farmers are devoting much time to co-operation in distribution and niar- kiling, and they are wise in doing so. But why nol begin at the very beginning wiih co-operation in production? li will he urged in reply that production is, and must be, an individual matter with the fanner. This is (rue to some extent, but iu other respects maximum profitable production can only be attained through co-operation. Let us illustrate: it remains with the individual farmer lo decide how thoroughly he will cultivate and prepare his land, and whether ne will sow good, clean seed, Ihe best he can obtain. And these are important factors in production. Ills neighbor cannot decide those things for him, nor help, except with advice and good example. A number of farmers can, however, co-operatively make arraugments to secure clean, tested seed, and thereby save money for all and benefit all. Suppose, however, that one farmer has given careful attention lo cultivation and lias sown only clean seed, but a neighbor neglects his farm, ignores the law, and allows his land lu become infested will-, noxious weeds. It is only a matter of lime and seasons when lhe land of the careful, progressive fanner is contaminated by lhe weed seeds his neighbor is producing, and, notwithstanding cultivation and good seed, his production is reduced and he, leo, is hauling and marketing weed seeds instead of wheat. A .-lop could be put to this through co-operation. Recently a Winnipeg newspaper slated that weeds cost lhe farmers of Manitoba last year a good many million dollars—$22,000,000 wo think the figure was. or more than the total of Provincial taxation, heavy as that is. In the booklet entitled "Is the West Worth While," to which reference was made lasl week, Ihe following statement is emphasized: "Tlie farmers complain that the tariff cost them some $9,000,000 in 1922; but never a word is said about the loss of $160,000,000 lo the farmers ot Western Canada in 1922 through weeds." And the author, in advocating broad, comprehensive co-operation, asks: "Why can't the Western farmer make a weedy farm as unpopular as a skunk in tlie dairy room, and thus save for himself the millions ul dollars it costs him annually to grow weeds." But hundreds of people seem to labor under lhe delusion that the passing of a Noxious Weed Act by the Legislature, and the appointment of a weed inspector, is all that, is necessary to solve the problem. Another case of leaning nn the Government, whether it be Provincial or Municipal. Let the Irulh sink in that if tlie Statute Books contained nothing but weed legislation, ihey would never solve the problem. It will never be solved, and the appalling loss will continue to be sustained by the farmers unless and until the farmers themselves are prepared to co-operate systematically and with determination - for Us removal. Farmers did not fight grasshoppers by one farmer doing his duly and remaining Indifferent whether his neighbors discharged theirs or not. Thoy worked together, fought shoulder to shoulder, farm to farm, lu a word, they practised co-operation, And li proved effective. Co-operation will alone solve ihe weed problem. Legislation, let It bo repeated, cnnnol do It. II cannot be done ihroiigh process of law. But it can be done through co-operation by the farmers themselves, if every Grain Growers and United Farmers local association declined war on weeds, and made It their business to see that Ihelr respective districts were cleaned up and kept clean, Ihey would be Ihe means of pulling millions of dollars Inlo Hie pockets of fanners annually. The annihilation of weeds would well nigh pa) die freight bills of ihe Western farmer. _ Will Circle Globe Alberta Wool Sales Major Pedro Sanzlrn and Ensign | E. L.

TlANEY 1 COQUITLAM WEEKLY GAZETTE Britisk National ExhiDition Will Be Means Of Developing Trade Between Empire s Units The British Empire Exhibition] which is lo be held In London Ibis year—the greatest exhibition of Its kind ever held—has two primary oh i Jects. The flrsl is lo bring lhe far-; (lung Dominions of the British Cum inonwealtli of Nations Inlo closer sen- timcnlal touch with each other, and ihe second Is to develop trade among the constltuonl countries of lhe Empire. The latter object is perhaps tho more Important of tho two from lho point of view of Immediate necessity. Trade carried ou under fl conditions is a great Instrument for lhe pronto* linn of goodwill, 11 leaches roiinllies thai their econninlc iuleresls are mutually depeiidenl and beneficial. Tho blood lies which hind Bolt-governing parts of the British Empire together help tn make nailing relations more easy. The British Empire Exhibition has no parly nor political significance. The recent general election lias shown the danger of Importing political schemes Into the discussion of the question of trade development within the Empire There is a vast Held in which non-party and iion-polltlcnl effort may operate to promote closer relations between tlie British manufacturer and the Dominion markets. The purpose of the exhibition is to exploit that Held. Great Britain has a vast army of unemployed. Pessimists tell us that we must bo prepared to accept that fact complacently as irremediable for many years to come. That is a counsel of despair quite unworthy of a people who have faced and overcome difficulties as great in the past. It maybe true thai under the most favorable circumstances it will be some years before we can recover to the full the markets we have lost on the continent of Europe. Greal Britain must give Its help to the pacification and ccon-" omic reconstruct ion of Eurrjpe, for - that is so important lo our trade and commerce. We cannot afford lo neg lect any possible market. But the British Empire is Ihe greatest undeveloped market in tile world. It is the most diversified. Tlie products of the Brillsh Empire range WESTERN EDITORS ASPIRIN Beware of Imitations! from tin1 natural rosourcos ol Lho frozen north to ilios-* of equatorial regions. This faot has u doubii* Importance to Great Britain. The British Empire! owing to tho variety of lis ollmato, is capable of producing and ; supplying every Kind of fond, and grown material tor lho manufacturers or Great Britain; nnd the greal variety <>r manufactured articles needed by populations living under different climatic conditions gives a divorsity to the manufacturing .trade of Greal Britain, in considering lho possibilities of Lho dovelopmeifl of ISmpiro trade* we nre iipi lo attach loo much importance io the solf-governing Dominions, to tiit* neglect of Lho possibilities of the Crown Colonies and India. Tho latter havo already vast populations which have al present u vory low pur- eh ns ing power, India, for instance, has u population nearly as large as tho whole of Europe, and far larger than ihe whole population of South America, and moro than twice the population of the United Stales. If Definite Policy Of Immigration Is Now Put In Force By The Canadian National Railways li. I.uhb, Editor and Publisher of The Times, Stoughlon, Sask. Not to Bring De Valora to Trial It Is staled In Republican circles In Dublin Unit the government has no intention of bringing De Valera to trial, and this decision is believed to apply lo oilier prominent Republican leaders now in custody. The release of the we could raise the standard of living: more influential of the leaders, bow- in the Crown Colonies and India we ever, is not at present contemplated, could add hundreds of millions a year to the export trade of Great Britain. Tlie only justification of Imperialism is that it is leading the subject peoples to a higher standard of civilization. But more attention to the development of the one-self governing parts of 'the Empire does not involve lhe neglect of the great possibilities of the Dominions. The latter of necessity will develop slowly because they must rely for an increase of population upon immigration from the homeland. This raises the vitally important question of the better organization of emigration schemes. The British Empire Exhibition ought to be utilized as an opportunity for pulling this matter on a more satisfactory rooting. If facilities for the emigration of the right type of person, who voluntary agrees to try his fortune in the Dominions, can bo arranged between the Imperial Government and the Dominion Governments, it would be greatly to the advantage of all the countries. The exhibition should be valuable in serving the following purposes. It will show British manufacturers, the character of the overseas markets, and tlie overseas producers the possibilities of the British market. It will bring traders throughout the Empire into personal touch with eacli other. it will give the general public a more adequate idea of I he colonies as places of settlemem. The exhibition should do much to increase trade with lhe Empire; and as our exports lo overseas parts ' of tile Empire must be wholly manufactured articles that increase of trade will give the stimulus to employment so much needed.

When, a llitle moro lhan a year ago Sir Henry \V. Thornton, K.H.E.. was chusi'ii to head lhe Canadian National Railways, one of his flrsl acts was to pin lino nun inn machinery fur aiding in the colonization ami development of Canada, particularly along the lines ul ihe National Systom, He realized Ihal one nf lhe orying needs nf Canada was fur more population, and he has since been quoted, un several oc caslotlB, as saying I hat If Canada had a population nf tweflty-flve million people, Canada would have ud railway problem. The organization of a department to look after colonization nnd development was entrusted by Sir Henry to Mr. W. D. Robb, Vice-President, nnd .Mr. Tlobb at once proceeded tu build up the necessary organization to look after llils most important nalional work. Investigations, conferences and careful planning gradually brought Into being an effective depart, ment, the effort of the year culminating in Hie engagement of Dr. W. J. Black, Deputy Minister of Immigration und Colonization in Hie Federal Government, as Manager of the Colonization and Development Department of the Canadian National Railways, wiih headquarters In London, England. That was early In the Fall of 1923. Dr. Black proceeded at once lo ('.rent Britain where he spent some weeks carrying out a series ot Investigations. These completed, he returned to Canada, and a general conference of all oflicers of lhe department was called and a definite plan of colonization and development was drawn up and announced. Tills was lhe flrsl definite announcement on Immigration to be announced lu Canada. In engaging Dr. Black, the Canadian National Railways secured an officer who is probably belter acquainted with tlie Immigration needs of Canada, and the best methods of remedying those needs, than any oilier man in the country. All his life be has been connected with the agricultural Industry and lias run the gauntlet of all Its intricate phases. He was born and brought up on a farm In Dufferin County, Ontario, and in 1902 graduated from the Ontario Agricultural College with a Toronlo University degree. At ills graduation he was appointed editor of the Farmers' Advocate, Winnipeg, Maniloba, and he held this post for two years. In 1905 he joined tlie Government of Manitoba as Deputy Minister of Agriculture, a post which lie left Hie following year to become President of the Manitoba Agricultural College.

You will be astonished at the expense, not to mention I rouble and annoyance to the merchant of getting $2.00. That is the expense — mind, ultimately, to you—of a little "charge up" order. This is not overdrawn. It is nn every day occurrence and yet we wring our hands and cry "wolf" and blame banking, the government of the day and—everything but ourselves! Why, in the name of common sense don't wc take that little sum out of thc bank and pay up and save much indirect and most unnecessary expense? This is, fellow patron, your business and mine and no escnpe of the penalty, Are we going to continue the practice, and, if so, why?

A committee of four was appointed as follows: Miss Edith Agassi/, Mrs. IF. Fooks, Mrs. A. S. Dennis, Mrs. A. Pollack, to impart any information pertaining to women's or children's work, gardening, etc., in connection with the Agricultural Exhibition at Agassiz on August 30th, 1931, as there will be a special prize given for vegetables grown by children. Final arrangements were then completed for the Leap Yenr Novelty Dance to be held Feb. 29th. The following committee was appointed: Miss Edith Agassiz, Mrs. It. C. Koacb, Mrs. (V W.

Biff companies, manngers und beads of publicity bureaus, publicity commissioners are all planning for, and counting on, lhe biggest traffic ever known cis or trims international boundary. Well may this be done by all on this side, for Vancouver is now to reap tlio benefit of its wide fame n- brottd, through, indeed, efforts extending over many years. The city hns come tn be spoken of as the mecca of the north. So far so good, but there has been this drawback, namely, the lack of a real rural near-in summer resort. This is now found and it is from this time on. without the least exaggeration, to receive the greatest width of patronage. Agassiz, or, if you will, the Il"t Springs, is to attract tourists by the many thousands on the stable nnd indisputable grounds of scenic beauties, hotel accommodation, and health-giving springs, such as have given Banff, Alta., and Hot Springs, Arkansas, world renown. This will be thc most pretentions development ami welfare scheme in the annals of the province, and it is surely coming, i.e., the great tourist trade; the 120-room hotel, the vast fishing lodges und tbe hundred and one attractions incident to a greater than Banff—the Eldorado of British Columbia.
