Mr. Gray takes quite an interest in the local band and is endeavoring to do his best for the progress ; of the local boys. With the co-operation ot the other members in tlie band he hopes to keep,up the high standard readied last year. By his special request the follow- i ing is published from the Fraser j Valley Record it being part of a speech made at a luncheon at Mi������- ! sion City a few days ago. Mr Fred Bannister, who'is responsible for the success of uniting the efforts of the boys avIio form the band and the training of them in such a proficient manner, gave a feAV figures Avhich sIioavs that he and his musicians mean real business''in giv- ing to the community a band that they may avcII be . proud, of., He stated that they were 30 strong, 22 actually playing and 9 students; This morning tho,' telephone system was not in working order and believing that it was tlie switchboard that was not up to ,tJ)o usual 100 per cent standard, it wa") thoroughly examined, but nothing Avas found wrong with it. ' .,,; Soon however Avhfcn people could not get the party they wanted over the line, everyone began to inquire what was wrong. It was found that the cable coming down in front, of the Pioneer Store had been cut almost through. Then it. Avas found that Mr.'and Mrs. I-Iaddrell had been awakened during the night, and t.wo men had been found'hanging around the street in that part of tlie tOAvn. They are probably the guilty pair. The repair men arrived from No\% Westminster .about noon and the line will probably be fixed this' evening or early tomorrOAV morning. The motive for the cutting of the cable can only be surmised. But it Avill be'remembered that when the bank at Steveston and the bank at Ladner were robbed ' that the telephone cables had been cut. It Avas very probably a similar case here had the marauders not been molested. Mrs. Haddrell has a fair description of the tAvo men. Later���������as Ave go to press' two suspects have been arrested at the border line, and a constable and assistant have left to escort the men to Vancouver. f Arnett Home From Gold Coast W. 0. Arnett oi Holly Lodge .and formerly of Matsqui. has returned home from the Gold Coast, where he has been engaged in the harbor development work under way at Ta- harodi under the direction of, SteAvurt &.

"Ave Avant $450 from the public and all is clear, then the band will be on a proper paying basis." It was the first band in B. C. to fill an engage- met in Vancouver.

He closed his remarks with the statement that there Avas "no band at the coast can beat us." The W. 1. of Mission City af a.recent meeting voted $15 0 for a, band stand near the centre of the town. 1 LAUGH ATTENDANCE AT ANNUAL MASONIC HALL CLUB MEMBERS HOLD FORTH IN TE The Abbotsf&rd Men's Club met on Tuesday evening, and after a social hour had been enjoyed, the members took part-in a debate, viz. ."Resolved that big business is detrimental to the welfare of the 'community."

You pay twenty-five, or thirty cents for this, take it home, spread it on your bread to tickle your pal- tand Avell kept, n ate and help fill your physical fuel bin, and��������� What you don't see in this forali of honey is a little army of bees working harder than Trojans ever from , Avorked, sucking the ambrosia thousands of clover blossoms. 1 Your pound of honey contains 7,- 000 grains of sugar. Each clover blossom provides' about one-eighth of a grain, so this pound represents the sweet fruitage of 5 6,00 0 clover heads. But the clover head is composed of about sixty florets or flower tubes'. To extract the hidden sAveet the bee must probe each of these. This means some sixty separate tions on each floAver. If one bee contracted' to gather a pound of honey, that bee would have to explore 3,360,000 of these tiny tubes' to secure the material. AllOAving five seconds for each exploration and twelve hours to a day, it Avould take this bee some four IVi hundred days to produce a pound. And this avouUI represent only the gathering of the honey, not the time required for building the Avax-case But there never yet. Avas a hive and storing the sweet stuff, with just one bee to each comb. Nature commands pooled effort. Hundreds of bees to each comb makes a comparatively quick and easy operation of what Avould be an impossible task for one bee working alone. So what Ave do not, see in the comb of honey is the greatest of lessons in one of the . greatest of success-makers-^���������Co-operation. On every side Nature flaunts this lesson in man's face.

CO-OPERATE. most important steps towards thai end i:.i, that of having the home surroundings just as attractive as- thcye of our citizens avIio live in the tOAvns and cities. This end can be accomplished much more cheaply and with more beautiful results, as the farmer has everything including an adequate space to Avork with. . The appearance of a place is a very safe index to the character o! the owner. Poor stock, poor vegetables, disoased fruit trees and Avormy fruit go hand in hand wiLli unpa'nted buildings, filthy barnyards and a bare house with grounds un- ornamented, and yet. the majority ol our farms are in this condition. In fact, those with really well laid-out and, Avell-kcpt grounds and orchards arc the exception. Making the home grounds tidy t only adds to flit pleasures of life, but it is' good business, for it should be remembered that the front yard of the farm is the show windoAV of his place ol business. It is' also good business because it attracts the buyer for the products of the farm or the farm itself, as everyone likes to trade at a farm or a store that has an appearance of being up to date, Avell-kept. of having fresh goods, aud Ave are Avilling to pay the price for these things rather than take a chance on the others. It also pays because Avell-kept grounds and buildings bring returns out of all proportion to their cost opera-jsln fact, in a consideration of matter, the Avord "investment' "expense" should ahvays be thought this no' of. Any farm, the house of Avhich is framed Avith trees, porches shaded with vines, Avhich possesses a smooth expanse of lawn, the ojectionabic features hidden from view by _trees, shrubs, or vines, has risen in value entirely out of all proportion to the time or money spent. And tbe problem of beautifying tlie farm is not an expensive one, at the orchard trees may be so placed as to be of a very ornamental nature and profitable ��������� as Avell. In fact, landscape men to-day are using fruit trees for ornamental purposes in ore than ever before. With these as the main material plus shrubs, perennials and flowers tastefully placed in clumps and masses around the foundation of the house and in irregular borders, and with some vines to hide the bareness of the Avails, the Avhole picture is changed. A home not a farm-house is the result. Our farm grounds should be improved if for no other reasn than that of the women and the children fo Avhom the love for beauty appeals even more than it does to men. Make the farm-house and grounds a real home not an eating or sleeping place or an adjunct of the barns and other buildings. ailed the S or secondary wav?s toov bout tAvouty miniutcs, Avhereas the or long waves, took about fhirtv- wo minutes. The first tAvo sets traveled 'through the- interior of tho rsarth, while the long Avaves radiat-' id out over the gccuii floor and over lie hind surface in all diroef'ous. Tt was from Ihe difference in the time of arrival of those Avaves that the distance of tlie centre of the earth- ���������uake from the observatory Avas cal- ���������ulate. The combined records at Xtawa, Hawaii, and Georgetown ��������� D.C., U.S.A.) were used to finally .letsrminc its exact location. Sei.-.mograph records are of con- ���������idcrable value for (he purpose of i'elcrmining the conditioins ' beneath ':he earth's surface. As' the prelim- nary and secondary waves of , this quake dipped 8 00 miles boloAv the -arlli's surface, they penetrated far below any borings man could ever "lake and they brought information which could not be obtained in my other way. The seismographs at Ottawa arc '.-opt constantly recording, day and ���������light. There are from 100 to 150 ������������������uirlhquakos recorded in a- year. These records are furnishing data 'or the location of earthquake epicentres and active fault lines. The mass of data accumulated Avill probably lead in time fo predictions of' 'jrcat quakes.

(From Fraser Valley Record") On Tuesday evening of last'Aveek the band of the 172nd R. M. R. gathered in the drill hall to participate in a social function that Avas peculiarly their own. Unknown to the prospective recipient, it had been decided that the time Avas ripe for the members to make a suitable presentation to one of their fellow bandsmen, "Jim" Bromley, to celebrate his recent Avedding, and also as a mark of the esteem in Avhich Bandsman Bromley is held by his colleagues in the 172nd R. M. R. Accordingly, he was' lured to the scene of operations on the grounds that it Avas imperative he attend an "especially important practise." When Colonel J. JR.. Vicars ros*, on behalf of the boys, and in a witty speech of short duration presented Mr. Bromley Avith a beautiful cas- ���������serole, nobody Avas more surprised than the bandsman himself. As soon as the presentation had been made, and before the "victim" could get his Avind, the band struck up "For lie's a Jolly Good Fellow." As soon as he could make himself heard, the recipient, in a feAv Avell chosen words, expressed his thanks and those of Mrs. Bromley fo-; the gift and the kindly spirit Avhich had ���������prompted it.���������Kamloops Standard.

The Sfory So Vav Jerry Carruthors, star reporter_ of the Redding "Journal" is exiled lo a lonely summer resort by ill- health. .Angus, his editor, had recommended the place where, so far, he has only seen the proprietor and a beautiful young lady avI.'o gives her name as Glynne Clydesdale. . An argument gets them acquainted and Jerrv is greatly attracted by Glynne's personality. Several days passed and he certainly avus enjoying himself. He had been Avith Glynne a great deal of the time. They, had taken hikes through the Avoods. They had gone sAvim- niing (ogethcr and had been all over the hike in canoes. He had rented one from Stroud, avIio kept several ��������� for this purpose. One morning he aAvoke Avith the sun streaming through the windoAV across his eyes. Getting up, ho donned his bathing suit and took a refreshing dip in the cool waters of lhe hike. Hastening back, be dressed for breakfast and went into the dining room, lie did not see Glynne ���������probably she Avas not yet up. Adjourning to the verandah he enjoyed a short smoke with his pine arid then Avandorcd dOAvn to the dock. He hail already ~doc.ic.ed to paddle over Lo ;x small island when he was on (he lake'boat. It now appealed to him a, great deal more now than it had (hat day. He arranged his canoe and in twenty minutes had tied the craft to a corner of a rock and Avas seated on the island Avatching the tiny ripples lapping against . the shore. Alone, and his thoughts' turned once more to his present predicament. He Avas glad Angus had suggested Cedar Inn and Avn.s.glad ho had met Glynne. He wondered Avhere she Avas. She certainly Avas a great little girl and he loved her free, easy manner., These thoughts loft his mind, and reflections of the office took their place. This Avas' a serious question He Avas sure of his position���������it Avas not that���������but he Avould have liked the promotion. He kneAv, he was knoAvn for his exclusive stories, but this would not help him much if his health Avas poor. If he had someone at the office substituting for him it would help, but he couldn't get a substitute. If���������His thoughts were interrupted by a little shout behind him. Turning, lie saw Glynne. dres- ,sed in a neat outing suit and looking fresher than the very morning- itself.. "Greetings," she exclaimied. "Why all -the gloom? I saw you coming her and I thought I Avould see Avhat was up. It's terribly unconventional isn't it? I don't care though, I like being unconventional, don't you?" Jerry reluctantly explained that being unconventional had never entered his' mind before, but assured her that under the clrlcumstances he rather liked it. "What's all the trouble, Jerry?" Glynne cheerily asked, as she seated herself .beside him on the mossy grass. "Feeling worse this morning?" Jerry looked into her big. deep eyes and decided to unload his whole difficulty. "I don't want to trouble you with my soitoavs," he said, very serious, "but it's this Avay. You see, I got along pretty avoII at the office when my health gave out. J. Avas* sure of getting a promotion at the time, but now I've left them in the lurch and that. Avill spoil all my chances Avith old Angus, the editor. It wouldn't be so bad if I had someone there taking my place until I got back, but a substitute couldn't be found any place." ,, "Angus must be an old bear, declared Glynne. "He is," Jerry agreed. Both remained silent for a moment. "Did I tell you I Avas going home this' afternoon Jerry?" Glynne queried. Jerry groaned. All his troubles were coming at once and he Informed his companion of the fact. Glynne laughed and told him not to be such a gloom artist. "Tt Avouldn't be so bad here. There are plenty of other girls," she grinned. "Even if they are a trifle over forty." This turned the conversation a- lon.p* lighter channels, and both, began to enjoy life. They saw who could throAV stones the farther in the lake, he won. hands down. They drew pictures in the sandy loam��������� here he was outclassed. In short, as Glynne later said, they acted like a pair of giddy ten-year-olds. Shortly before noon they united their canoes and paddled slowly, back to the Itin. She promised not to for- eet him and he vowed to call on her as soon as he returned to the city. a It was'iuat a week after he had arrived at the Inn when Jerry stood on the same dock with the same Avistful TlilH VALUail ���������Oi'1 cults v.-vr:oN Tt has been, found by that tliu cultivation of expei-ence lbs ttu!,ac\: soil early in the spring is a \evy do only does hardier wj, begin grow it Mis sible' practise.

There is one matter that could be taken up Avith the authorities by the clubs~as they now stand; and that is regarding the kind of gravel tlun is put on the roads of ihe Fraser Valley.. Both the Vale road and tlie road on the north side of 'the Eraser are often made almost impassable after a coat of new gravel, not because this gravel is put on too thick, but because of the size of tho stones in it, and also the time of the year it is put on the road. It seems a senselcs thing to put loose gravel on the hard roads at this time of the year. All Avinter the .autoist has driven through the mud. and now Avhen there is a chance of a little comfort in travelling along comes the road gang Avith a. lot ot loose stuff that not only makes ii again unpleasant, but in many eases dangerous. A road grader just as the road is' getting dry in spring, oi after a rain would be more elfectiA'i towards making a good road to drivi on. A good curved road without loos; rock or rock embedded in the road h as pleasant to drive over'as a pavement, except in very dry weather. But Avhy when there is a prospect of a road being in fair shape should the autoist have to run through loose gravel? ,Could it not be put ou at another season of the year? Then there is the kind of gravel that is put on in most cases. Just as it comes out of the pit. No care used in leaving the big' stones behind. It costs money to handle these big- stones. Big stones are all larger than half the size of a hen's egg. They are a costly affair to both the goA-- ernmont or municipality and also to the autoist. They cost money- to put them on the road and very often it costs money to get them off the ioad. And when off the road unless hauled away prevent the Avater draining off the road allowance. Why not have these handled at the gravel pit? There is enough fine gravel in the Fraser Valley pits, to give us lie very best of roads. Tf co-operation and' union would handle the gravel proposition it would well be Avorth tAvice the a- niount paid for membership to any automobile club. Let's boost for one big automobile club to take this and other matters in hand. jgister your vote.

On the farm the making of such a bed is a simple .maa-jr because of the presence of iiuinuro of a- suitable kind. .Whereas the g;eenhouse has to depend on K'oam heating fertile necessary Avarmth, the heat for a hotbed is so- cured from that arising from fresh ���������manure. The hotbed may be placed on, fop of the ground or in an excavation. Whichever plan is decided upon, the site chosen should drain so as not to permit Avater to stand. If-the beloAV-ground plan is adopted, the soil should be taken -���������at to a. depth of about 18 inches aud for about three feet wider than' the frame, -so that there may be room for banking up outside the frame. The banking is very important as it conserves the heat.. Horse ���������nanure is the' best. It should be quite hot and-ready for use in1 five or six days. To support the glass sash, a sim- rslo frame should be made of tAvo- '*!K'h planks. It ' should be so con- -.tructed' that it may be raised if the oJanfs get too close to the glass. To provide for the shedding of rain, the back of the frame should be six inches higher than the front. When building tho bed, the manure-should be shaken so that the long and short particles are Avell mixed. Tramp well as each layer is added, until a depth of Iavo to tAvo uid a half feet is secured. The frame ;s then put in position and five ' or ���������qx inches more manure is shaken in A'ood garden soil to the depth of -ix inches should iioav be placed ov- >r the manure, and the sash put on. ���������'n fivo or six days' the hotbed will "-,9 ready for the seed.

Many people in this nrovince have made decided objections to the way the public debt of this province has climbed up during the past few years, but it looks as though the 13. C. government dots not know what it is to create debt, if the Parmer gov- eminent of Ontario is any criterion. There is to be an election in Ontario this summer and facts and figures are being brought out to destroy the faith of the people in the Drury administration. Money always talks, 'tis ,said.
