TO MAKE RHSGO!MMENI>ATlON The monthly meeting"of the Mal- squi-Sumas-Abbotsford Poultry Association * was held at the Bank of Montreal Chambers on Friday, Feb. 10th. Owing to his continued sick- new* the President was unal)lo to at-' tend and tho chair was taken by Mr. J. Is. Preston. Unfortunatoly the speaker for the. evening, Professor Lloyd of tiie University, was at the last minute detained through sickness. It Is hoped that his'attendance may be obtained at. the- next meeting. A report on the moving pictures and raffle held last month was given by the secretary, showing a satisfactory balance of about $2 5.00. A committee was appointed- to draw up a recommendation for the revision of the-poultry classification and" prize list at the local fall fair. Much dissatisfaction has been expressed over "tiie poor display at the last" fair, and it is hoped that the Agricultural Association will see their way to carrying out tho recommendations that will be submitted to them, both as regards the 'prize list land accommodation .which is very inadequate.

Eslin" Presents Interesting l)n(a for Taxpayers of British Columbia���������Shows When: Provincial Revenue Goes and Why Taxes are Being Increased. ' As your representative at Victori.; , I submit for the information of the electors and residents of Kosshind Riding, a report on the' -recent session of the Provincial Legislature. The duty of the Opposition is to criticize. Not in a petty or carping manner, but for the purpose of bringi ^ to' public attention such policies and expenditures-as may seem unwi.o. unnecessary, unbusinesslike or extravagant. Were it not so, a government could carry on without inter-' ruption and without protest regardless of the. welfare of the people. Aiy criticism'which' influences' public opinion to call a halt on ill-advised expenditures, or ill-advised legislation, must be accepted as constructive criticism. You pay taxes and the more money the administration- spends, the more you have to pay. The recent session was called three months ahead of the usual time, ostensibly to provide aid for municipalities. Tins aid, as forecasted by the Government members in reply to the Lieutenant-Governor's speech, was to have been raised by a one per cent, income tax,, from which there should be no exemptions,"so that the girl in the telephone ofice, store or dining room, as well as the general wage earner, was to pay the Government one per' cent.'.on their pay cheques. ��������� This met with such strong protest, that, even the Government followers refused to .support it, so the policy was changed. Then came a new proposal to create a distinct personal property tax and give it to the municipalities,.which the Government would take the " income, tax. This too met with vigorous protest and the policy was again changed Avhen the Government .decided to increase the tax oh. automobiles by fifty per cent., and.give.the municipalities one-third of the revenue as well as five per'cent, on race 'track bets'. It was not popular, but the Government had to do something and ill is,' together with a .share of profit from;the'-sale of licfuor, was all it could offer. '._ "',.,���������' Aside from the': taxation problem and the borrowing: of . another five millions" against which the Opposition voted unanimously, the major portion of- the session was' occupied by the Government ,in defending ii_ ministers and-in long,heated.debates against the appointment of select* committees to investigate liquor.,.charges and the .illicit sale .'of beaver pelts' by the chairman of the.-Game Board. The latter subject has been detailed ��������� in the press from day to day. Blocking Investigations At the session of the .',Royal Commission 'in Victoria Mir. Bowser, leader of the Opposition,, gave evidence that he had information that Dr. Baker had'^been guilty'of misappropriation of public funds, in connection with the moving picture department. Counsel .for Dr. Baker contended ,l.hat the scop'e of the inquiry did not include investigation qf anything but beaver pelt charges, and Mr. Bowser appealed to the Premier'to_ widen th'.. scope of the inquiry. Mr. Oliver refused this application unless he first be handed the source and nature,.of the charges, although the resolution passed by the House, and seconded by the Premier himself, included investigation of the alleged ' malpractises "carried' on by Dr. Baker, as director, of the B. C. Pictorial and Educational Picture Service." ' . In a -second letter Mr. Bowser- said: "iS'urely, when the leader of the Opposition states on oath, before a public enquiry, that he is prepared to produce evidence to prove a misappropriation of government funds by a salaried civil servant, one would naturally tkink that the Premier of the Province would he only too anxious to b.oaden the enquiry, so as to fully investigate such a .charge. And when the P.emier of th6 Province refuses to do so, he leaves himself open to the suggestion that he intends to stifle all such investigations', a responsibility which you must assume if you do not accede to my request." The Premier's attitude on this matter, his two hour speech against a select committee to investigate the liquor charges, another two hour speech against a select committee in Dr. Baker's case, and persistent re- fusaj to furnish the House with av. inventory and explanation concerning the whereabouts'of nearly a million dollars worth of equipment taken over from. Foley & Stewart by the P. G. E. Settlement Act, warrants the people in losing faith in the political traditions which have impressed upon them the oft repeated assurance of the Premier's honesty of purpose. AvfA by'ithe same token, I contend that a member, who by his vote, assists any government in blocking' investigations* and : withholding from the people the information to which late ap- by they are entitled, is more concerned about the loss of his indemnity through possible political defeat, than he is concerned about the v. el- fare of the public. The Prospector's Finish One of the last acts of the Conservative Government was to propriate the sum of $200,000 the act of 10 16, specifically in build roads and trails to mines and prospects. It was a concrete admission that the prospector is the foundation and backbone in the development of the great mineral resources of British Columbia. The present Government practically, as well as theoretically, has relegated the prospector to lhe past, and in his stead has entrusted the development���������or rather laci. of development���������<o the "resident engineer." Practically every mining property of note today, including placer and lode mines (and they have yielded in tho aggregate nearly half a billion of dollars) are monuments to the ever hopeful and zealous prospector, who uncovered them, before the advent of the "resident" engineer. What more picturesque scene than was common in the days of real prospecting, when in front of every ' little general store we saw a string of pack horses loaded with bellows, powder, steel and provisions ready for the hills. Now. a pack train' would be an object of curiosity, and the community would turn out to see how thep acker made the squaw hitch or the diamond hitch. No sooner had the present, government assumed office than it passed an act for its phantom policy of os- labli. hi.ng public sampling ' works, customes smelter, refineries'and provisions in aid of treating and buying of ores. Every prospector was to have a portable smelter of his "own. Of- course, this was merely .visionary aid to prospectors. So visionary, that' the act. carried with it no appropriation,-and there has not been any made since. Then came the Mineral Survey Act of 1917, which placed the- control of the development of prospects in, the hands of six "resident engineers'." Up to date these six engineers and their departments have cost the public the sum of $567,000 while the-only-outstanding result of their work is the spending of some $5 0,0.00.on the Snowstorm Group-in Highland Valley, the property of Steward Henderson,- a good Liberal ex- member of the Legislature. As 'to the-trails'-these engineers have built or recommended to be built, they are few and far between, as every, prospector knows. And judging by the reports of these resident engineers, as published by the Department of Mines, their .-advice covers i:o suggestion of real benefit to mining, and is of little value. With'possibly.one exception, the information they contain could be compiled from, the weekly newspapers or from, the returns, of Mining Recorders or Government Agents. Careful reading of the 19-20 report will make it difficult-to find the: recommendation, for the, building :of a-single trail. They do say they have had numerous appli.e. ations for trails and assistance, and that is to be expected,- -but " there is" little note of anything been done toward such assistance. They advance no practical suggestions ..regarding any property or prospect'.'/ With Uip one big question on which .the'future of the development of low.grade ores depends, (that of concentration ana flotation) they say absolutely nothing. Although the Velvet Mine has been operated by old time miners since May, 1920, it was not visited by a government engineer until late in 1921, and then because it was drawn to the minister's attention by the lo-f cal member. While Rossland is the heart of the mines of the Kootenay 'the report cites the concreting of the Centre mines, and says production- has been curtailed because of the low price of copper, although it has always been admitted that this was a gold 'Camp. The LeRoe No. 2, receives mention by one line and three words, and the Velvet one line and one word, while the information is conveyed that the surface plant of the White Bear was destroyed by fire. And yet these engineers cost the people over $100,000 per year or $507,000 for the five years they have been in office. It can not be denied that there was more real progress in mineral development by practical prospectors before the advent of the "resident engineer." Addressing a 'mooting at Kerris- dale tho other .night,, Hon. W. .1-. Bowser, leader of the Opposition in the {Provincial House'gave some idea o< I a constructive, policy he is prepared to carry but should,the chance be,given him. "The people of the province, in my opinion, should take more interest in our public affairs, and become- better informed on conditions as they are," he said in his opening remarks. Dealing with the .subject"of retrenchment, which he stated war. one of the cries-upon which the Liberals were returned to power five years ago he declared that the salaries vote for this vote was a million and a half dollars more than it was when the Conservatives left office,' while the public debt of the province had been increased by thirty-five millions, and salaries' in connection with the liquor administration amounted to nearly half a million dollars a .year. "Do you call that retrenchment?" he asked.' "Extravagance, inexperience and incompetency have told t .e tale," he added. "The very best talent is necessary to grapple with the financial conditions of the country," he continued. "British Columbia is in a bad way. We should all join, irrespective of party, to try to get a better government." If he were elected to' office, ho said, he would surround himself with a well-balanced cabinet. First, he would retrench. He .would act towards the business of the country the same as the manager .of a large wholesale house would do. He would cut oitt all the political dead- woods, and there were many in the different departments, he- added. He would try to reduce taxation,, and it the'salaries were cut down one million it would go a long way to lessen taxation. <; , "I would restore the credit of the country by. showing' business"peoplo and the. banks that they were getting an honest and businesslike administration. ' "The Pacific Great Eastern Railway, he continued, should not only be connected up with Prince George, but it should be extended-into the Peace River country, which -would be the means of bringing the grain through its natural port of Vancouver, and would also secure the growing trade of Alberta. He would also introduce a constructive policy, and would en- j courage the developement of the na- Itural'resources of the country." WHOLESOME FODD MEANS A HEALTHY PEOPLE IN CI TV LIMITS A Chicago man, while in New York, was requested by a long-distance telephone operator to deposit 24 cents for telephoning to a certain place. He objected. "Why, in Chicago," he said, "we can telephone to h- for a quarter." "Yes, but that's in your city limits," was the girl's answer. There is much in the report of the Veterinary, Director General for the year 1920"-21 that must be very gratifying to Canadian -readers. From It we learn that Canadian Live stock continues to maintain its enviable reputation as-among the healthiest in the world, that none of tiie" great plagues, such as' rinder-pest, foot- and-mouth disease, and contagiou* pleuro-pneumonia' has been allowed to-enter-the'country; that hog cholera and glanders have been so effectively'dealt with that losses have become-.comparatively trifling, and .that mange .has-been practically eradicated from the "great' range country in Alberta. The last"mentioned was a particularly' heavy task, as can" easily be understood when it is- stated'that 2.082 townships,, approximately .74,952 miles; a. territory as large as Scotland, had to be covered. Cattle cciild stray for hundreds of miles. Restrictions and dipping regulations had to be imposed and happily were readily complied with by cattlemen, with one . lone exception, when the police had to be called upon'. Dipping vats were built so that no cattle would have to be 'driven more than twelve miles, to be treated, and every contingency was provided for. Commencing June 24 197,972 head were dipped for the first time, and oh July 2 and following days, 197,914 were dipped for the second time.

Those"'four years are vitally. important in moulding the girl or boy into a potentially useful citizen, or into an incubus upon society. Here the parent's responsibility is paramount and unshrinkable. Happy is the child who is blessed by fortune with good parents. His own destiny is linked up with theirs in three important ways: .1' By heredity. The sins of the; fathers (and also their virtues') are visited upon their children. By economic and social environment. By personal influence find active control. The first factor is a question of vital national importance, and must in time be dealt with by the state. Eu genics will ultimately find its way into'the curriculum of political economy. Not always will a nation's children be inflicted with the parental curse of vicious parents. The second factor, that of eoonom ic and social environment, is dependent for its solution upon the evolution of our denvocrasy into an idoal state wherein there are no pauper.. and-no profiteers. The third factor, that of personal influence and active control on parti of the parent, is a question confront- j ing every parent now. It is a practical I auestion, requiring' a practical an-; swer, J inuw, from my long experience in , dealing with children of school age, j 1 have arrived at certain conclusions regarding the out-ofirschool education of these children. What I an. going to say in criticism of home training of children must be not be taken as' applying to any one personally. 1 have only one object in making those criticisms, to .stimulate un interest in the home education which may gradually, spread and form a basis for constructive work in' bettering conditions in this'particular field. 'If I had the parents here who are most in need of admonition and instruction along those lines and the very fact that you are here is an evidence to me that you already possess a vital interest in (he welfare of your children and therefore do not neeel admonition), I would say to them: Be kind lo I hem. Not only love them but prove to tiie.ni that you love them. The child, the. normal child, thirsts for. mother love. It is vital to his emotional development. Let your relations to your child be so simple that you are his haven of. rest, his castle of refuge, his sanctuary. In times of trouble he fur.;-; to yon, as nature und nature's God intended he should, and he knows lie will meet with sympathy, love, and healing. What a terrible thing it is lo think that some children are repulsed by their own parents, if that child grows iu> to he a good citizen, a worthy member-, of society, it will be in consequence of inherent, goodness. He sots out on life's journey with a terrible handicap. Let all your home surrounding., and family intercourses be cheerful and happy. Avoid domestic bickerings, het horqe bo a place of, peace ! never learn the language of liate and 'and love, where your children would iscorn, but that of joy, contentment ��������� and appreciation.. j Make 'home attractive in other .ways. Cleanliness and neatness are conducive to contentment as well as I to good health and they go far in !their general effect 'on the child I mind." In these days and under ,the most adverse conditions, much can 1/e done to decorate or' adorn the home with a few bright pictures, a little needlework, or art'of some kind. But even in a house stripped to the barest essentials, love,: cheerfulness and contentment may prevail. Self-activity and) self-exnression are as natural an essential to children as frisking, is to lambs or singing is to birds. ' The home should provide for the; boy or girl, ample means for the outlet and exercise of their natural activities of body and 'mind. 'Happy isi.the boy with a tow simple lools and' a corner in the woodshed where,he can set up a-.box as a bench where he can plane, saw and hammer to-his heart's ..content. But that is not enough. His activities should on occasion'be directed jiml stimulated/ A boy loves to make something for his mother, a. broad-board, a-knife box, a shelf, a 'rolling-pin, or'more ambitious things such as umbrella stands, card tables, or cabinets. 1 am thinking now, of course, not only ot the little boy, but the big boy. The principle involved holds good from time they can toddle to the time 'they leave the paiv ent's home. Even the .child of four or five can do some little thing for- mother, or even for daddy, if it is" only to bring him his slippers, oi find him his pipe. Self-expression is also vital to healthy growth. You have possibly all' met with parents w.ho repressed this natural desire and instinct . in their children. Johnny is bubbling over with , information, or seething with questions'... His 'mother tells him to shut up, or not to bother, her. And Johnny does shut, up, or gets his ears'boxed. What happens?'Either Johnny loses interest in things he can't talk about, and looks for interest in other and perhaps worse channels, or he tak.es his confidences to 3SE ABBOTSFORD SUPERIOR SCHOOL RESULTS I.

Institutes Planning For Fall Fairs It seems extraordinary early to bo talking about exhibits for the New Westminster Provincial (Exhibition, but, then, time has such an uncanny way of creeping up unawares and leaving that plan for attractively homecured meats, or that pretty piece of fcmcy-wprk, only plan.y when with a little more forethought they might have become pleasant re alities. The Fall Fairs wait for no woman. All of the women of the Institutes of the Lower Mainland have been invited to get up a'district or Valley exhibit, for the big provincial event, to embrace anything that the members have been able to make or to do in their homes during the year. Space has been set aside by the Exhibition authorities with this end in view and- it is now up to the women of the Valley to do their share and provide a handsome display. Women of the Fraser Valley Institutes are evidently planning to do their part well and a committee has been formed to look after things and provide the members with information. The committee in charge includes Mrs. Davies of Chilliwack, Mrs. Osborne of Mission City, Mrs. Bruce of Central Park, Mrs. Croft of Cloverdale and Miss C. G. Cruick- shank of Matsqui. This committee is agreed that a fines how of exhibits must be worked up among the members of the Mainland Institutes. These are the classes of exhibits: Preserved fruits and vegetables; dairy work, including goat products; poultry products; bee products; cured meats; home- cooking; plain and fancy needlework, including weaving and rug- making; horticulture; home-cured furs; basket-making; home-made labor-saving devices; home-made soap, and fine arts, including photography and wood craving. Another interesting exhibit will be a display of the community work done by the women.of the institutes. A great, many'Institutes have had a hand in building their own community hall and photographs of these are to be shown. Everything that is an evidence of woman's -desire to aid community life is regarded as the right kind of exhibit for the Exhibition,���������Columbian. ffll__U_k_l__l__Ull____��������� ���������sssswssimssiunlX^SiSKSSWSK!^^^ 3_������'"Js_>tt���������*��������� *���������_> .i*VttJ*-"w������r_>^ir-' _'i_t".!������&. v*"TJ',,**tu_-*,i-*-'
