I could of sav^d you the express aud besides you would of been patronizin������- a home store, which helps pay the taxes and builds up this locality." With characteristic frankness the farmer asked: "Why don't you patronize your home paper and advertise?

"Three dollars," aald the physician in surprise. "Here you are,!' said the farmer handing over the money; "the blamed liveryman wanted five to drive me homo."

Mr, Kyle gave an interesting keftro on Technical Education, lie pointed out that, the day of apprenticeship )ciiig now past, it. is imperative for lhe industrial welfare of every nation that opportunities be given its boys and girls of lilting themselves to'take up some trade or profession; and that this technical education should bo compulsory no less than i-oinmon elementary, education. He Hhowed some excellent views of manual work done by boys and girls in Germany, England and Canada. Many "duffers" in schol work have been redeemed by this means and enabled to follow their natural bent. Mr. Kyle quoted from famous educationists such as Rousseau, Pestal- ozzi, Froebel and others. The first named held it an axiom that all education worthy of the name is derived from manual arts. The hand educates the brain and is controlled by what itself has produced. Instruction in manual work brings to light native abilities, trains dormant faculties, gives theory its full'value and lends poise and self-control. .

It is all a question of profits, when sifted down to the bottom, if the farmer.were a part of an organization that placed a price on their products and the fruit sold f. 0. b. point of shipment arid the buyer take the risk instead of the grower it would not matter so much how much the grower paid for picking his fruit so long as his'business was conducted on business principles. It is this lack of system that makes the fanning and fruit growing such an uncertain success. The farmer lias the grandest opportunity in the world to form a great big organization, and we do not see why there is not a get together movement in this respect. Other business interests organize. Why not the farmer? ��������� At tho meeting on Thursday .last between the growers and the board of trade a resolution .was passed asking that Chinese be brought into the district and country t,o ao the fruit picking. If may look to be an unwise movement to many who are net in the fruit business, but. to the friut grower any scheme which insures to him the picking of the fruit at prices that will return to him a profit, is a welcome scheme: and solves a problem that is agitating his mind at the present time. At the same time it is a matter that there are many people in the province���������especially the laboring class who will object to the resolution as undoing good work done j operation event, in the years gone by in having the ������<ers will be Hon Oriental prohibited from entering the Hon. w country.

There was represented a' total of a- bout '300 acres of which 200 wore raspberries, 40 strawberries and the balance other small frnils, with a total estimated crop last season of a- bouL $150,000. Mr. A. M. Verchere of Lhe board of trade was appointed chairman and J. A. Bates secretary of the meeting.

The motion was as follows: -Resolved: .that we ask Mission City Board of Trade Lo bring before tho proper authorities That in the opinion of the Kraser Valley Growers, Inc., that in order to help out the Fruit Growers with their troubles (re scarcity of pickers for their small fruits) that the government should allow Chinese labourers to.enter this Province until such times as the la-i bor market rights itself. At the present time, tho Chinese are our main supply of farm labor and that owing to small number available the men here at present are demanding such an excessive wage that it is impossible for the Grower to realize a fair return for his product. Iu further discussion it was suggested that the matter of transportation was an important matter for the berry pickers and it was suggested that in this respect the C. P.

C. Nov., 28.��������� During the recent election, and since thp Hon. Mr. Brewseter has proclaimed abroad that the patronage svtem would be done away with when the Liberals came into power. In contradiction to this was the letter of the secretary of the Liberal Association of Mission City to a voter of Dewdney riding, during the election, soliciting his vote for Mr. John O'iver and at the same time stating "we (the Liberals) always Know- how to take care of our friends." In carrviiig out this policy the secretary of the Liberal Association here on Sunday morning escorted a sixteen- vear-old school boy to the John H. Sprott, the ferry across the Kraser at Mission City, and told him to go to work as the one and only deckhand on the government ferry, and without consulting the captain. The former occupant of the job had quit. This is all the more illustrative that patronage is not dead in 13. C. and'Mission City in particular, as 'th's boy is thhe son of the.
