Give Luncheon To.NighL The complimentary luncheon to be given this evening by the Retail Merchants Association In tho K. P. Hall promises lobe a very successful affair. Invitations have been issued, a dainty luncheon prepared, topics and speakers selected, and it only remains for those invited to be present, to make the lirst of a series of such gatherings the success, which the committee earnestly hope will lie made possible by the co-operation of the retail interests of the city. Those who have tlie matter in hand have actually no more interest in the movement than should be felt by uny retailer in the city or valley and of the benefits derived, will only share them with the business interests in general, so that the object is not to benelit any individual or clique at the expense of any other interest. The committee has removed every possible barrier to a large attendance, even to the providing for thc expense entailed. It is urgently hoped that every business man will be present and take part in a discussion of the sulijects presented l.y tlie different speakers. THE PRESENTATION OF "FACING MUSIC A BIG SUCCESS. THE Read the Free Press advts. The Chilliwack Dramatic Society's presentation of "Facing the Music" on three evenings last week was an unqualified success. Enthusiastic audiences greeted the amateurs and entered immediately into the spirit of the play, applauding heartily throughout and assisting not a little in helping the players along with the rolicking fun produced. From a financial standpoint over 82.10 net was realized which is being given by the Dramatic Society to the Agricultural Society. The leading part in the play was that of "The other Mr. Smith," taken ably by D. E. Carleton. Mi. Carleton had a realistic conception of his purl and conveyed it toothers, "Facing the music" like a professional. F. B. Lyle, as tbe Curate of St. Andrews, made the most of his part and his innocent contributions to the tangle were well handled. J. R. Anderson, the guest of Mr. Smith, played Dick Desmond with the irrepressible laugh in and out of season, in a splendid style, while Fred Hart as Colonel Duncan Smith, filled the diameter to ft dot. Sergeant Dttf- fell, tho detective with ideas and vanishing courage under lira wns well prntrnyed by 8. S.. Carolton. Mrs. C. A. Barber, wife of thc curate, touk her part throughout the perplexing troubles which befell her on arriving at the wrong Hut, in a dignified ami natural manner. The other Mrs. Smith on her arrival found trouble iu large quantities, a faithless husband, etc., uud in this chnrnetor Miss Bell well maintained her reputation gained in past plays as a capable interpreter. M iss Folheringay was taken by Miss Margaret Bell excellently, the young ludy possessing nn excellent singe appearance. Miss Calbick as Mrs. Pouting won praise on all sides, many Haltering things lieing said of ber. On the whole tho play could hardly have won greater praise thnn it has. Mr. Lyle ns stage manager and director, had bis plans well worked out and proved himself as capable as ever. Delightful music was supplied by nn orchestra consisting of I Messrs. Kelland, piano; Dr. Elliott, violin; J. Turpin, drums and traps. Annual Fair A Success Perfect Weather and a Record Exhibit are Features. Lame Attendance and Special Attractions Good. The finest of weather favored the holding of the 40th Annual Exhibition of the Chilliwaek Agricultural Society on Wednesday, Thursday uml Friday,of last wee,,, und from iiyiny points llm fair was n fjplondid success. The Into altering of the dittos, caused considerable confusion in placing the exhibits ami in judging and in thlS respect there has lieen some dissatisfaction. Thursday was Citizens day uud the fail' was largely attended by city people. 'I'he races for local horsemen were run off, ansl while there was a small entry in each event a few close contests were polled off. On the second day the attractions look the form of athletic ovents, In a lacrosse match New Westminster juniors had the drop on the local stick handlers, though at periods there was some good work done by both teams Hope football enthusiasts displayed tbeir powers at the game by de fcnting llie local kickers. The Cubs defeated the High School niiie in a very good game. The ranchers hnd no difficulty in getting the long end of the rope in the tug of war with the Indians in Iwo straight pulls. Some of the platform attractions failed to materialize but the Roman Hippodrome race, and the balloon ascension ami parachute drop, were both interesting features. The lutter was conducted rather late in the afternoon, many finding it necessary to leave the grounds lie- fore the ascension, This event on Friday evening was a failure owing to an accident caused by a disarrangement of the ropes, the parachute dropped before the balloon had risen more than ten feet. Davidson the performer, was thrown to the ground, and it was at first thought serious injury had been sustained, but fortunately his injuries were slight. The palmists, bow wows, freak calves, baseballs and "babies," rings and jewelery, were (mostly) on display. Dropping the "nigger" into a vat of water was perhaps the liest money maker and fun producer if the bunch, wliile the young and those who felt young, patronized the merry-go-round. The bronco busting exhibition was a feature of much interest and after the crowd had enjoyed the failure of the lirst bronco to bock, a second animal was produced which furnished ihe necessary jolting nnd then some, to the amusement of all. The 104th Regimental Bund wns on the grounds each day and under the leadership of Canon Hincheliffe, discoursed suitable music at frequent intervals. Tho stock judging contest was an interesting feature, and was conducted by Henry Rive, Provincial Dairy Commissioner, (i. Brant, of Sardis, won in the mens' class while W. K. Hawthorne won in the boy's class. Young Hawthorne who is but thirteen years of age scored the same number of points as did the winner of the men's class ind his stock won the commendation of Mr. Itlvo arid of those who witnessed the judging. Tbe artistic taste shown hy Miss Sellers, Surdis, iu her Soleotlon uud arrangement of loenl views, is worthy of spocinl noto. This display wns much admired. The Chllllwaek Canning iit Preserving Co,, had a neal slisplay of the untitled goods. There were about seventeen dilTcrcnt varieties shown. The Menzies Hardware Co., displayed tho Ournoy stono and kitchen wnrc; Austin A' Myrcs, seeds, hives, etc ; Hml A' Hllll, White sewing machines; while Fred Sample and P. Stewart bad eneli a neal display of blacksmith work. The work of these men prove that they know their trade and arc mechanics of the lirst order, ('hilliwaek Implement it Produce Cs.., had aline display of goods on tin- grounds also, Maynard & Murphy had n display of buggies ele., and Hurt & Hull displayed the various lines of smnll machinory bundled by tbem. C. Huteheson & Co., had a display of vegetables to show wlmt lbc valloy soil could produce. tiii: lixniBlTs The exhibit Ihis yenr on tlic whole wns much in advance of previous year's. In the main building the exhibit was exceptionally good. The display of Indies work, fruit and vegetables; and poultry, were lho feature exhibits, Ladies Work—In this class there wns u heavy entry list, the exhibit occupying ull of one side of Iho building, nud Included muny line examples of needle work by the Indies. Dniry—There wns n good dis- pluy of butter of good quality. Broad uud Pastry—As usual thore were muny contestants In tbo bread- making clnss uud rivalry wns keen, while of buns, biscuits, pics and pastry, etc., (here wns also a good showing, Tlio hungry mans' dinner competition wus novel, nnd thc menus would satisfy thc appetite of the most fastidious. There wus a small but good showing of honey, pickles, jellies, etc. The display of home made candy was especially good. Flowers—Tliere wns a large showing of potted plants, separate llowcrs were good, the glndiolias lieing a feature; there was a fnir collection of pnnsies. The floral display could be greatly improved upon, The cactus dalias hns many admirers and the showing was a stimulant. Fruit—The entry for the apple prizes was a very large one and the display was of lirst class quality. Pears were also good. Plums, prunes, grapes and peaches were also represented by small exhibits. Crabapples and Orange ('uinces were gin ul. Vegetables—In this class the showing was a winner mid it is doubtful if such a splendid display 4 garden and field produce could be produced any where else in li. C. Potatoes, cabbage onions, roots of all kinds, cucumbers, rhubarb, citrons, cauliflower, carrots, beans, beets corn, celery were all exceptionally good. School Work—This department was well represented and thc showing was of a high order and one which created much interest. District Exhibit—Two districts Fairlield Island and Kast Chilliwack were the only entries, but both were of a high standard. Fairfield Island peoplo had the advantage of having their display iu one section, while East ('hilliwaek exhibit was divided. The former was neatly arranged and very attractive. Fowl—The liest in the history of the fair is the verdict of those who know, in commenting on this feature of the show, and next year will witness another big step in advance. Stock—Ayrishires and Jerseys were predominating breeds shown. The exhibit this year was not ns large as last year. Sheep and Pigs—There wns a good entry in the sheep classes but the swine entry wus smnller than last year. Horses—In tho heavy classes the showing was not up to last yenr, but in light and harness horse there was a good showing nnd a keen competition. Many of the livestock exhibits were late in arriving and as a result the judging was delay. .1 somewhat, Mr. D.C. Flail, the veteran breeder, of Hamilton Out., was judge of the cattle, hogs and sheep; Mr. Sain Shannon, of Cloverdule, judge of ii.rses; Messrs. P. E. French ami W. II.

Steam ploughs, self-binders, etc.. are unknown here but every effort is being made hy the Agricultural Department to induce the peasantry to adopt more scientific methods aud modern implement--;. Ploughing commences In January, after the winter rains, and about March or April tlie field is cross ploughed, Sowing begins, as a rule, after the autumn rains, and tho harvest takes place 'at. the end of May. June, July, and August. The grain is threshed out in a peculiar manner. It Is placed on the threshing floor. and threshed out by means of a yoke of oxen, attached to a board studded with hints, on which sits the driver j and the combined weight of the driver and the roughness or the (lints breaks the gra.n. The straw, which is much broken iu this process, is mixed with chaff, and used as fodder. 30DODOC Settling a Dispute I must insist sir, exclaimed the pp.npi US person, lhat the device is .. fire [.lug.

A portion of the King Edward Highway is to lie built of concrete, the contract for its construction having been let on Sept. 11, by tbc Honorable J. E. Citron, Minister of Agriculture nnd Highways of the Provinco of Quebec. The King Edward Highway is the Canadian section of the International Highway, connecting Montreal with several large cities of the United States. Ultimately it is expected that this rond will continue aa far south as Miami, Florida. It wna the orignal intention that the entire highway should be built of macadam; but the Honorable Minister, who has under his jurisdiction of the Canadian branch of the work, has become interested in conoreate roadways and has decided upon this important undertaking oa u good place to try it out. Governments and municipalities nre gradually coining to recognize the necessity of a more permanent form of road construction. That concrete ia the material which best fulfills all tbe requirements of a permanent roadway, is a fact that will ultimately obtain world-wide recognition.

To the Editor of the Free Press; Dear Sit—We are very mucli surprised to note that Mr. Chapman classes himself as an amateur photographer, or at least this is tlie only inference that can be had from the lirst prize tickets displayed in his window as there were no prizes offered in the prize list for any but amateur work, and he must know that it is considered rather unprofessional for a photographer of standing to stoop so low us to compete for honors with amateurs. W. V. Foiisvni. As a result of his trip of personal inspection over the route of the Hudson Bay Railway, Hon. Frank Cochrane favors in time having the road run by electricity, if the plan is ut all leasable. With all the IKiwer of the Nelson river at command, the saving of coal would lie enormous, while it is figured that the difficulties which are met with in operating steam engines iu extremely cold weather, wutihl not lie experienced.

TRY IT FOR 1912! Montreal Standard Publishing Co, L-mittd, Publisher*. The liest wny to build up a town is for each and every man in it not to strive to rend and tear it down. Whenever a man in the town is doing well do not try to tear him down. All the residents of a town are partners, not opponents. In all likliliood the more business done by your rival the more you will do. Every gentleman who treats his customer honestly, courteously and fairly, will get his share, and the more business that can be secured by united effort, the better it will be for all. When a town ceases to grow it commences to die, and the more the people try to kill off each other iu their business and good name, thc more rapidly will utter ruin come to nil. A merciful man is merciful t. his Is'iists. Wc liko to see onr farmers when they drive into town on a cold, stormy day, put their team in a barn or cover them with blankets. In lhe heat of summer they can always Iind shade in whicli to leave the noble animals which brought them safelv to town. There arc many, however, who will rush for a stove tlieltiselvesand leave tlieir teams in the storm, while in the heal of summer Ihey seek the shade and leave Iheir homes iu the sun. There is something wrong nlaiut the man who thus abuses bis team. He may la- a nice man, may belong to a church, smoke nor have any bad habits, but we would not want b. Is- his horse. No, sir.

Nteklaets and Buokl.s. Necklaces will undoubtedly continue tbelr present popularity, says the Dry Goods Economist. In these tbe indications are that the thin or delicate chains equipped with a single pendant generally accompanied by a dainty drop of some kind or other, preferably In a color harmonizing with either tbe wearer's millinery or costume, will be moat favored. Girdles of all kinds will be a strong feature of faucy gowns next fall and winter. Those composed of wooden beads In a latticework will be used alone and as a bordering on chiffon, satin, etc. Linked metal and Jeweled effects are shown In the new lines, and wide .black velvet ribbon girdles with th* ends elaborately embroidered ln gold, silver, bright silks and chenille and frequently studded with Imitation Jewelry. Tht Oat 8t.v«. To economize In the use of gas observe fiese rules: Hare all cooking ready for the blaze before the burner Is lighted. Tin- tinnier mny be extinguished a few moments before your rooking Is finished nnd still retalu beat enough for Hie purpose. At ntpit turn off the stopcock between tlie stove nud the main pipe to prevent wnste. Never use a large burner when a amnll one will do. A strip of nstiestiw pinned around n burner causes the heat to concentrate on llie rooking Instead of scattering Into the atmospheres If .mu heal by stove utilise the spacs under Uie fumy top for cooking.

A FAMOUS DWARF. Borulwaski, th* Pole, Wa* Handsomt, Scholarly and Witty. A notable dwarf, wbo bad a long lease of life over parts uf two centuries—he was born In 1739 and died in 1837-waa lloruiwuskl, tbe 1'ole, of whose debut an Interesting tale Is told. Aa a boy of fifteen, wben be was Just one Inch higher than a two foot rule, Borulwaski wna presented to Ibe Empress Maria Theresa, wbo was so charmed by bis good looks and grace tbat abe seated him on ber lap and gave him a hearty kiss. To the queen's question aa to what be con* sldered tbe most Interesting stgbt In Vienna tbe dwarf replied, "What 1 now behold, so little a man on tbe lap of so great a lady." Thla speech rendered the little fellow a great favor Ite. He became a special favorite of Stanislaus II., who took him to England and Introduced him to Ueorge HI., and for more tban balf a century Borulwaski made bis borne at the English court Tbls dwarf, who at hla tallest was a yard and three Inches, bad a sister whose bead Just reached her big brother's shoulders. Borulwaski waa not only a handsome and courtly man, but a scholar of repute. He lived In five reigns, and when be died, lacking only two years of reaching the century mark, be was laid to rest ln Dunham, side by side with tbe Falstatflan Stephen Kcmbla. A Dark Smok*.

After a few days his doctor told him he could take a gentle smoke If he liked. Ho Jumped at tbe chance and to bla amazement found It nf forded not the slightest pleasure. To be sure, men often smoke ln tbe dark, but there's alwaya tbe rosy glow of tbe lighted end to be seen nnd the faint outline of tbe cloud of smoke In tbe air.
