Of course there are thok-2 t . -. vho. -will ask ifj! all' earnestness what- good is a '.Board of ' Trade, and''especially in, a' small commun ity-like.this where fhe" government attends to all the'/wants of the town and- the municipalities have the council to look-?after them. Of course too much looking after, like too many cooks spoil the broth, but on the other hand1 .when several bodies, be it Board' of Trade or municipal council ask- the govern- mentror any corporation, 'for what is required * we all' believe that the .more pressure brought to 'bear the better,.the chances'of securing, the desired'.object. ''. . -*" - -'" ... There, is work for our Board of Trade to. do during, .the : coming year. It should endeavor to see' that the town'and surrounding .district be' brought before the attention of many people in the old land who are ,thinking ;jOircpming to this province to re������\ae, ...There is no literature that- the secretary . ;can send to inquirers wheivhe^is written to asking about, the . ��������� district. - Only this week'he was'heard tore-' mark that he had several communi cations, asking about the openings for business enterprises or information about the district, and "what the land ,was adapted for, etc. Now it is unreasonable for any one to ask that he sit down and write a lengthy letter to Jthree, or four or more people during a month jor two, relling them about the district He wouLd have to be a mighty strong booster and deeply interest ed in the development of', the district to undertake such a task ^ and then again, what he -might write to such an inquiry, might not suit every person, who is a - member of the Board should copies of his letters be. read at the^ next; .meeting.. He should have approved literature to send out to lnquirers,*~without having to wait to write a letter. ^ All or many of the inquirers) write, tor several different parts/at the'same time and the most tempting is the one that secures the visit of the nian who is lookinng for a home in the Fraser Valley. Has the Board yet brought to the attention of the member for the district the requirements of : the town and the districts represented? Has the Board asked for the spend ing of any money .during the coming year. There -will not be a better opportunity to secure needed improvements for the town' and district, than during the next six months. This is almost an assured fact. The member will not again be more anxious than he is this year, to please each voter. Now is Lhe time and now i9 the opportunity. Ask those in the know. The railway commissioners will meet in Vancouver at an early date Isjfehere anything in Abbotsford requiring adjustment that can, be brought before this augus'c body? What about trie opening of that street across both railways? The past record ol the Board has shown that it is able to accomplish something^something for the advancement of the community. 1 hen- why not make it a live Board of Trade, i. The Board is askedi to mcec the first of each month. The i.ecretary informs this paper1 that lie would like to have a real" goo.d meeting next time. Every person who is a member of ine Board mid who is also a reader of this* pasr, is hereby notified that the next meeting the Board'will be held n tho.'oard rooms-on Monday, February 5tL., Don't forget the date. , --���������o THE TOWN BOOSTED It was a privilege of a repies- entattive of this paper to Listen to a conversation bettween a r������si-, dent of this town; arid a stranger the' other day, and, while no notes were taken the conversation, ran something like the following, and shows that all the boosters for Abbotsford are not yet become faint hearted; ��������� Resident���������Good morning, stranger. Stranger���������Good morning (Seeming surprised that he should be spoken and apparently welcoming the opportunity to talk) This is a ame*. morning. Do you. have much weather like this in .Abbotsford? ,1. have come from the- province .of���������; eternal sunshme,;but'we.-have''l������h!0.-.C'i thing like'this there;; Resident���������Yes, this' is a nice ��������� day We are so used to such fine weath er here that most of us old-timers do not take much notice. We take it as a matter of fact that Abbotsford is entitled to days just such as this one, but it is a. beauty, nevertheless. Stranger���������What keeps this town alive? , GOOD, OPENINGS FORD FOR- IN -ABBOTSr ���������A: Sttea'm' 'Laundry A Sashi and Door'Factory ���������" Any -Manufacturing concern requiring cheap power and good ship ping, facilities are an inducement- cheap, sites," light taxes, etc THE BUILDING LINE- H T> The new year' appears to be startin g in"well. \ ���������, There are a number of residence going up at the present time and the. building season in email towns throughout the province cannot be said to have yet fairly begun. It is'(hoped that a dozen or two houseB will be built this season. -Houses .to .rent, have always been scarce in Abbotsford. Houses built with the,' idea of selling them to newcomers on the instalment plan' or outright nhould prove a good investment. _i * TELL IT TO THE EDITOR^- " The- average citizen does not at. all dream how often this or any.oth er paper is pressed for newfc items Resident���������The surrounding coun- ;rv. -rnisa is -a- central locaftbn We hav"e excellent communication with the outside world. We have trains from the north,, east south and west, morning, noon-and night Our real estate agents .say that "All Roada Lead to Abbotsford" and do you know. I believe they are pretty near right. Just look at that envelope;' it represents a map of Abbotsford and part of the district. Stranger���������It looks as though Abbotsford was the Hub of the Uni- verse6 'Resident���������Well it does you know The Board of Trade is responsible for that envelope. It is all right too. When strangers d onot know where to go and they have seen everything at the coast many ot them come up here, and do you kknow we have kept a lot of them Many have purchased five and ten acre plots and are making country iiomes for' themselves. But, within i short radius of the. town there is room for many more. Were you looking for fr,uit lands or manufacturing sites? We have a lot of good land to the south,; the west and east on Sumas Prairie���������land that will suit any taste or whim in the line of farming. For knanufac- turing sites we can offer'good inducements. Cheap sites ; and the power from either of the two competing companies," then as I gaj.d 'All Roada Lead to Abbotsford" so can one go. ou.G in all directions from Abbotsford.

Nevertheless., many persons are surprised at an artist who is not small, anaemic, delicate of feature, and decorated with a flowing necktie.. Such a' person lately visited the studio of a certain artist-in one of our big cities: The man ln question wears a big red' beard, and stands six feet and. some inches high. His shoulders are broad, and his muscles, hard from continued exercise. A woman entered his studio' and asked for the artist. ' ' "That's him, standing over there," the "attendant said. ,The woman looked over to where the artist stood, towering like an ancient viking, and gasped. "Why," she whispered, in surprise, "he's big enough'to work/isn't ,he*������" -.- . ., ..-, , Wrong Anyway . The violent-tempered manager was lecturing his clerk.- , ."Look here, sir,". he thundered, '"this won't do! What on earth- do you. mean by making such wretched figures? They're a perfect disgrace!

He looks as prosperous as he feels. ���������It isn't the size of a place that counts most, nor its actual doilars-and-cents value. It's rather that "well-kept," thrifty appearance; the appearance that makes you think of fat stock, and well-filled barns, and comfortable, contented living. Neat; permanent improvements go further in giving a farm this appearance than any other feature. Concrete Is The Ideal Material for such improvements. It is neat, harmonizing with its surroundings in the' country. Everlasting, it cannot be injured by fire, frost, wind or lightning. Age���������instead of causing it to decay���������actually makes it stronger. Concrete never needs repair���������first cost is last cost. New improvements can be added year after year with less expense than would be required to keep wooden structures in repair. ' Concrete walka, feeding floors, dairy-barns, ice-houses, root-cellars, well-curbing fence posts, silos���������which of these does your farm need most? Whatever you want to build, it's best to build it of concrete. ������������������ Do you want to know more about this subject of permanent farm improvements? Then write for your copy of v "What The Farmer Can Do With Concrete." cae*T It's a book of 160 pages, telling how other farmers have used the "handy material" to good advantage. .Published to sell at 60c. a copy, Itil's/now, being ..offered free to all farmers who write for It.
