A late visitor to the Cal- ,gary "Stampede" has this,to say a- . bout it. ��������� ���������' "The Grand Stand went crazy. It -was a riot.The funniest and most ex- .citing spectacle I ever watched. I , expected a tragedy every minute and yet roared with laughter all the ..time". . i. . "The event was chock full of the most exciting thrills, a dozen laughs in every one of them. Twelve wildly excited crazy cows," protesting jyitheyery ounce of their vitality a- gainst being" robbed of the sustenance intended for their calves, and .twenty-four equally excited and apparently crazy cow boys bent on perpetrating that robbery." "The contest is conducted in this _way. Twelve wild cows just off the range that have never been milked by man are drawn for by "twelve teams' of Cow Boys, each team consisting of two men, a roper on horso . back and a; milker on foot. The cows are driven into the big enclosure in front of the grand stand and a given signal the twelve ropers on horseback are admitted to the same enclosure. Each roper is. supposed ��������� to cut out of the herd the animal j lie has drawn for and hold it until his . mate extracts a small quantity of | milk in a bottle. The milker does not get his bottle from the judges j until his roper has caught their cow' and the*prize goes to the team whoso milker gets back to the judges first with milk in his bottle. "There you have the "Mise en scene", but if the wildest stretch of ( your.imagination can picture what j happens after the stage is set and the whistle blows "You're a better...man than I am "Gunga Din". Vancouver Exhibition officials confidently declare- that the "Rango Boys" competitions at this year's fair- will fully equal the Calgary "Stampede", and if all we hear of this latter spectacle is correct, visitors' to the Fair this year have a novel and interesting experience awaiting then. GUGaSlAi AlIddVH HARVEY���������CARR A very pretty wedding was solemnized Wednesday morning at St. Margaret's church, Bradner, when Nina .marguerite, third daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. P. Carr of Mt. LeLhman becamet he bride of Stanley Francis Harvey ������������������of Mt. Lehman. The brides maid was Miss N. H. Carr, sister of the bride, little Miss Emily McCaul of Vancouver was flower girl and Mr. J. P. Carr supported the groom. The Rev. A. H. Priest performed the ceremony.- Following the wedding a reception was' held at, the home of the brides parents, Mt. Lehman, where a dainty luncheon was served and the happy couple left later on a honeymoon trip to Victoria and Vancouver Island. -..., .:\.._ . . ��������� -i * , / ���������Ear Heavy Traffic On Matsqui Roads The municipal council of Matsqui definitely decided on Saturday last to prohibit the further use of its road to Mr. P. Bain of Mission for the hauling of logs to the C. N. R. depot. i It is claimed that this heavy haulage . has' cut up the Page and Hargitt ��������� roads that it will take a thousand dollars to repair them, according, to ��������� an estimate. j The contract of the Poignant Rock ; crushing plant, was cancelled by the council on account of delay. A month's.^notice was given to the Poignant. Company, who were building the Harris-road to report progress, at:,this:<meeting. The progress noted was so)scant the contract was finally cancelled. It is estimated a- bout a third of the road has been rocked according to contract. ": Councillor Bell was authorized to make what immediate arrangements are possible for the finishing of this road with gravel. His first act was to make an agree nient with Pf������������������ Gustafson for taking gravel from the Mt. Lehman pit at a contract price. of two dollars per yard. Mt Lehman HOSPITAL DONATIONS DEFER ACTION ON PLEBISCITE At the regular meeting of the Surrey council held' on Saturday last a communication was received from the clerk "of the Ladner council, requesting that a plebiscite be taken on the question of hard-surfacing of the famous Scott road. This created considerable discussion. Definite action on the matter was deferred until such time as figures in connection with the cost of maintenance of the road during the past five years are obtained. Should a bylaw be submitted, it is probable that for the first year it will call for paving only the South Westminster flats section. .In sending the Post the list .of hosptial donations for the month of July, Miss Campbell says; v"Friends of the hospital have been very generous', and our grateful thanks are due to all who have assisted in any way." The list reads as follows: Mr. James Trusler $5 for grama- phone records; Mrs. Zeigler, flowers; Miss Peck, flowers'; Mr. W. Wells, flowers and magazines; Dr. Quinn, magazines; Mr. T.

Editor and Proprietor ���������"V FRIDAY, AUGUST 10,-1923 pi _. The passing away of the chief executive of the United States has been a shock to the people of this province as well as to his own people. Coming only a few days after he had made so favorable an impression upon Canadians by the most tactful way in which he touched on the relations between the two countries, the grief of the neighboring people, seems a very personal one to the people of British Columbia and more particularly the citizens of Vancouver and the Eraser Valley. It is useless to speculate on what will be the outcome of this so sudden ending of a presidental career. Presidents have been suddenly called a- way before and the great democracy . to the south of us has gone on. The provision that the vice-president succeeds the president in the event of , giving up office in the middle of a term, will: enable the nation to collect its ideas before another presidental election. Vice-President Calvin . Coolridge will .no doubt make as worthy successor to -President Harming as President Roosevelt made to President McKinley. The recent- school examinations announced the result that will-bring joy to some and sorrow to others. To ��������� those^who have failed the repeating of-a year is-perhaps a. serious' matter, for'it. means .the loss of a year .from one's-, preparation for life. However, many of us -would be glad to lose as little as one year- from our lives, in, order to retrieve the mis- stakes-or. neglect of our. past. But-school examinations, it should be-remembered, are neither a test of one's scholarship nor one's knowledge. .-They are--a 'more or less arbitrary-test, set out'for want of a .better.to determine the uniformity of grading in.the public schools. They are-based on the. fallacy that all the young-minds are capable'of the same kind of development. It is presumed that we begin- with the same mental endowment or should do.so, ifl we do not, in spite of the fact that in later life we exhibit such a variety of mentality. . They are set, these early summer torture. 'instruments, by one set of scholastic romniscienta, who may set easy, medium or hard questions-..according, as they are ������uf- ���������fering from normal or abnormal experiences or. i .indigestion mental or. physical.

They, too, may be ��������� fooled as to what a child knows, if they judge as they only can from what is on the p-j.per. For there are means of deceit revealed-to the-younger generation, not known; to Machiavelli and his ilk. A .presiding;examiner" may be able to swear; that no copying "went.on in the room, but certain'innocent-faced youths, might be able to put him wise if they choose. l After all the only fair test of a child's knowledge is the good judgment of the teachers with whom he has been associated all year. And the only way to acquire the mental development to take one through life is to be keenly observant of all that is brought to one's knowledge whether at school or .abroad, not only that but to seek such knowledge far and wide wherever it may be obtained. That' is, study to develop- the' mind, and the examinations can be trus.ed to take care .of themselves.���������Times. for the nourishment this food would afford. It is' such conditions that make it possible for British Columbia jobbers to import fruit and offer it at a lower price than can be accepted by producers in' the province without loss. California fruit is dumped in the B. C. markets and the result is a stalling of demand for local fruit. This' trouble runs through tiie whole structure of business and involves the entire processes of production and consumption from start to finish. It cannot be remedied by waving a magic wand. It is a pro7 blem that will, have to be solved bv the combined efforts of government, producer, jobber and consumer alike. Efforts have been directed toward its solution, but with only partial success. It must receive more serious consideration. It can be solved. Obviously the home market should be conserved for local production. The farmer or grower cannot accomplish this. There are too many factors uncontrollable by him governing the situation. There should be enough patriotic people in all walks of life to get together and save home markets for home products. We should he just to our own people bo- fore we become generous to foreign growers, no matter what bargains they offer.���������Vancouver World. ��������� "Lots of Places Worse"��������� Far be it from us to speak disparagingly of Enderby's future, says t! e mommoner. .But gawd forbid that we should sit down and rest contert .on the often misquoted fact that "there are lots of places -wrose-o'f than we."

DOUBLING THE LOSS The importance to the grower of shipping first-class berries to the prairies is not ^sufficiently appreciated. When berries, arrive showing mould, or even softness, the effect is to curtail distribution. This causes less and the loss is not restricted merely to the lower price received for that particular car. Let us explain: > ' A car of soft berries contains no "shippers." This means that the jobber cannot supply his country trade, the result is,' that he is loaded with berries which he must force on the city markes within a short space of time, as they will not "carry over.' Not only does this mean a glut on the city markets with crresponding- ly low prices, but it means' the lost of sales to he counry which can never be recovered. This is most serious when the widest distribution possible is needed. It is a double-edged weapon which cuts both ways���������and the grower Is the victim. Alex.

It came to us the other day, arid we think it is one of the finest storf ies ever told. ���������- They had grown old together, .he and she���������rman. and "wife. _ 'They had battled together, for. years' in a little' business all their own. For years he and she had kept a.lit'tle store in the middle of the block���������a little store. ��������� One, .day she���������the ''old woman," . as. he;would.often-speak of her-^-o!.. day his comrade was taken ill. Then she-was taken homeland later'they hurried her off. to. the .hospital.-There she" had a nice room���������a room that cost all to. much for the old man's pocket-book.; ' ���������' ":: After a time his dear old pal recovered, but was never well enough -to return to.the store.. One night he came'home, and she asked: "How was business' today " The old man stood washing his hands at the sink, and -answered "Pretty good���������rpretty good today. But, somehow, that store will never be the same without you. I'm so sorry you are not strong and well'like you used to be, for I miss you so much." : ��������� There was a faint flush of a younger color .in the old . woman's face���������for wives only live for the finer sentiment, in life, and "years .only quicken their interest. One day she started to visit the little store. But it was a long, hard walk for a woman of her age. On the sidewalk, not far from where the .old store stood, she saw him standing with a tray fastened to his shoulders, and on the tray a collection of collar buttons, shoestrings and papers of pins. He had sold the store to pay the doctors' bills, the hospital bills and other expenses of her illness. Where the little old store had been was a fruit stand. That night, when -he arrived at their little home, she, in her usual cheerful manner, said: "How was business today, William?" "Business'is pickin' up, Jane," was his optimistic repjiy. That night they had sat where they had grown old together, and each harbored a secret from the other ���������-the brand of secret that spells sacrifice and deeper sentiment. Old age, like sorrow and solitude has its. revelations. As we grow older, life grows darker, till only one pure light is left shining for us, and that light is���������faith. Jane . and William still had this faith in the immortal future. That was all that was left to them, b':t. oh, what priceless possession it was!

Haddad, formerly of Mission, City, but latterly of Ashcroft, is to move to Merritt, where he will- carry on business. Many rubber hot-water bottles ar) ruined through being improperly stored. After it has been used for the last time the bag should be emptied aird then hung upside down for a day with the stopper removed. Thi outside of the bottle should be rubbed with a soft rag which has a small quantity of vaseline on it. This will help to keep the rubber from perishing. A little air should be blown into the bag and the stopper screwed oh. If. a rubber bag is stored away without air it is almost certain that the sides will stick together. Do not attempt to fold the bag in any way, but hang .it up in some cool position away from a strong light. If these simple hints are observed the hot-water bottle should be in perfect condition. when it is required again for use. Clouded sic ies, rain, low temperature with veiy' .little sunshine has been the week's record. it is doubtful if any week in our experience has been ie* favorable, to the consumption of highlv perishable fruit than the one jusc ending. Monday ushered in a cold rain which lasted all day. Snow" was reported on the foothills early Tuesday morning. Even Calgary had a light flurry, followed by a cold rain. The sale of ice cream was reported only a third normal and this is a fair estimate of the effect on the sale of berries. A fine car of Hatzic rasps, arrived on Monday. These had not cleaned when a carload of L. C. L. arrived from Salmon Arm Wednesday afternoon. This weather not only hurts the city trade, but by making the trails almost impassable, has a - clis, astrous effect on country trade as well. Similar conditions in ' Saskatchewan and Manitoba brought alm.'st congested markets with a resultant drop in price of berries which was reflected here. This should orly prove temporary, as the raspberry season is nearly over and future shipments' should be small. The first shipment of green'pe'p'prs arrived in the city Thursday morning from Peachland, "and are retailing at 40 cents per lb. - The market is well stocked ��������� with Red Astrakan and Wolf River apples from Yiakima, which are selling very freely, as the price is less-than B...O. crate apples sold for last week. The city, markets are'well supplied with, local vegetables of all kinds. A fine sample of Seedling, cherries arrived at our office this, morning in fine condition. These were sent by Mr.. Isiaac Moseley, Burton. They are not so.large as Bings',' but resemble them very much and have a.fine flavor. No event during the-past, year, has had a more stimulating effect on the minds of the farmers and business men generally .than the two addresses delivered here' by. Aaron Sapiro. One to business men at the' luncheon ' iu his honor at' the Palliser and in the evening at the Pavilion. ��������� No finer, exposition of the co-operation, no* clearer illustration of its success' at'.'the present time, or its immediate possibilities if properl" applied to the grain trade, was ever heard in'this part of.anada.

Over confidence was more or less responsible for Saturday's defeat of the Royals, the cup' holders beinff two goals up in the third quarter, when Vancouver commenced to rally which did not end until three goals had been whipped past Feedam. Bay. Carter had scored a more or ��������� tess fluky goal in the first quarter which advantage Vancouver'held until;half time.. Goals came in rapid succession when the teams' took the field in the third quarter.Jack Gifford scored inside of eleven seconds. Strome fo*. lowed .up this success with a beautiful underhand scoop which found a billet back of, Jake Davis." Three minutes later Strome gave a pass- to Haddie Stoddart which the latter converted. The Vancouver rally immediately followed, Joe Painter scoring , the first, while Crookall batted in; the ball a minute later during a ,,mad scramble in front of the net. ''The fourth quarter started .with .a rush, Strome hitting the upper post with a fast shot that Davis failed to glimpse On the return attack, Angie Mac- Donald got the better of an argument with Cliff Spring and scored at a time when Spring was recovering his' balance."' This ended the scoring for the afternoon. ELKS WIN OVER IOOO NINE HARDING'S ESTATE MAY. BE $800,000 Marlon, Ohio, ��������� Aug. 6.���������Close friends of the late President Harding estimate that his estate probably is worth between $700,000 and $800, 000. Before he assumed the presidency, Mr. Harding was regarded as wealthy, having amassed a fortune of some dimensions from the Marion Star, the newspaper which he owned since 1884, until it was sold recently The controlling interest held by Mr. Harding was said to have brought more than half a' million dollars. Mr. Harding's last will, made just before he left Washington for Alaska, has not yet been probated. SASKATOON FRUIT TRADE IS VERY QUIET .���������Saskatoon, "Aug. 2.���������The'weather here is sufficient sunshine .to keep the crops of cereal in good condition The fruit trade is quiet', due .partially to the aftermath of a successful fair held last week-, arid partially to the between season condition - of the fruit supply.

With the price down a little- on raspberries the pist week they have moved a little more freely than previously. This week there has been received a car of California Elberta peaches, donsiderahle Washington fruit, and also some assortment of B. C. cars.

Tere is and can be no, jealousy in, bur .hearts, for in' the prosperity of the Dominion'there is nothing foi us but benefit. . It. is real, prosperity of the sort that in." the forties ".and, fifties was making the United States' great. The country is filling "up with immigrants of the best class, such as were, then coming in swarms to the United States.. The population is moving west'and taking ' up land. The, now Canada already furnishes, much lor the wheat on which the Old World depends. . Canada what it did for us a hall century or, more ago. The transportation lines of the Dominion are already, magnificent and are steadily improvig. No other railway project was ever more daring than the building of a line through the wilderness almost at the northern limit of -possible human habitation, to the shores of Hudson Bay, to open for a few months of the "year the shortest route from the grainfields of the West to European markets. Canada is tinder free institution- - self-governed and well-governed.: .It has bred a body of public men of. ability ��������� and high .character. Americans may not appreciate the worldly wisdom that leads Canadians to cling, to British connection; but they can appreciate the sentiment behid their willingness- to forgoe "the last righa of coriiplete sovereignty in tlieir pride as a part of the British; Empire, for there is now rioi material benefit for them In the connection. Once the atatesriien'of the Dominion might have regarded separating from the empire as sacrificing protection that they needed. Now if any duty, remains, it rests on Canada to help England. The child looks naturally to shelter and protection at the hands of a parent; when it is grown up filial affecion holds it true to its allegiance. History can be searched in vain for a parallel to the relations, physical and political, between ;Canada and the United States. There has never been another such stretch of unguarded boundary between two countries, -never two peoples, living side by side for so long a period in entire harmony and good feeling. It Is all the foren remarkable when we consider that the two peoples are almost absolutely alike in .everything except that ane" of them cherishes, a sentimental allegiance to the British crown. A stranger alighting from the air in. a town in New York or Ontario would need to inquire :in which country he.was; for the houses 'the people and the modes of life are identical.���������Youths Companion.

ALBERT LEE, Baker and Grocer MARKETING NOT AN INDIVIDUAL PROBLEM Aaron Sapiro says marketing is not an individual problem, it is a group,problem. You cannot market without a distinct consideration oi what all the other producers are doing at the same time. You canno market without knowing what the market absorption is, or what the market demand is, what the money markets are, and the other element!:, of trade. Production can be done individually. Marketing can be done safely only on a collective basis and through organized effort. The cooperative structure rerepsents that organized effort. The farmer must have some way in which he can take the crops from individual production through the group problem as financing and marketing. This way is co-operation with experts handling these technical group problems from a emmodity standpoint and not fron: a local standpoint. The commodity idea must be handled within practical limits. But the commodity idea is the only thing to bear in mind when you are thinking of successful co-operative associations. - - - /'/������^3r ^ OF ALL KIND NOTARY PUBLIC Marriage Licences Issued REAL ESTATE���������Money to Loan on Good Farm Mortgages .cCallum Abbotsford w A'HEALTHY CHILD��������� is always ready for something to eat.

AN UP-COUNTRY MAGISTRATE Tn our good friend, Fred Barnes, Enderby has a man after the type of one Magistrate Jones, Crank-in-Ord- inary and mayor of the Bailiwick, of Toledo, Ohio. The other day ^.eight culprits'appeared before Magistrate Barnes. All were young fellows from 15 to 18 years of age, arrested for stealing a ride from Sicamous to Enderby on the passenger train. Magistrate Barnes put on his specks;looked the youths over;warned them of the pitfalls' that strew the way of the wayward youth, and set them free. The'' other day a cuplrit was Drought before the Toledo Magistrate charged with stealing a. loaf of bread! from a baker's wagon. 'How do you plead?" asked the judge. "Guilty", answered the prisoner. "And why did you steal the bread? "I was hungry and had no money. The wagon was standing there���������nc one near and I could not resist the temptation." "I accept your plea of guilty.and fine every man in the courtroom ten cents for living in a city where a man has to steal in . order to eat." and with that Jones tossed a dollar into a near-by Panama and motioned thb deputy to collect the assessment on the crowd. The amount of $5.40 was collected. v "Here is the money to pay your fine," said His Honor, "and I remit the fine. Climb out of here now and prove me a true prophet when I say you will never do this thing again." ���������Comoner.

ASBESTOS MINES AT YALE TO BE RE-OPENFD The banditts who robbed the T.fe of J. H.

G-���������The big asbestos mines which were discovered - here several years ago and which stopped shipping ore at the outbreak of the war, will, it is said, be re-opened in the near future. The deposits are very large and equal in quality to that found in Quebec. Mr. A. M. Herring who owns these properties has been for the past two weeks examining the deposits, along with mining engineers. Two mining engineers arrived last week at Siwash creek to work on the gold quartz mines. The water in the Fraser is very low and a large number of white men, Chinese and Indians are doing placer mining. lemon. Knowledge is necessary as to the proper times at which to pick flowers intended for making scent. Pinks for instance, only yield their scent after having been for at least three hours in full sunshine. Roses on the other hand, must be gathered as soon as open, and jasmine before sunrise. They say the sensations afforded by heliotrope, almond^ clematis and ivanilla are all similar and near the bottom of the scale. A sharper note is struck by lemon, verbena and the citron. .. .'".'. Scon ts, or course, are manufactured from niLny other substances besides flowers. '-Among these may be mentioned ambergris, campor, cinnamon, castoreum (obtained from the beaver), and also many resins. ROAD .WAS BUMPY; TEETH FLEW OUT; CLAIM DAMAGES FOLWERS THAT GIVE SCENT Hardly any brown or orange colored flowers are of value for making scent. A few pale yellow flowers, such as the American jasmine, are useful. Blue flowers, such as violets arid red roses' are valuable; but, as any scent manufacturer will explain white flowers are more scented than those of any other color. It is evident to most any one how many pure white flowers possess intensely sweet scents. To mention ony a few, there are tlte tuberose, the double jasmine, the white lily and that blooms of the orange and Los Angeles, Aug. 4.-���������Even tho' a county road may be rough the county is not legally responsible for teeth jolted out of those who ride on the bumps, it was held in an opinion rendered by ounty Counsel Hill in the case of Mrs. J.
