Store (From Fraser Valley Record) At Abbotsford last Saturday ^he Mission team' took the (measure of the Abbotsford cup-holders to" the tune of three goala^o none. ' This Avia and the IasVof 3-2 entitles the Mission club to hold- the cup till next 'season'. " The team ,was without two or .three of its -'best].players���������one of these; letting the boys down in the moat bare-faced, toanner, just previous to starting^qut. It is time this player (we will no.'t give hia name uiit he does.not live many miles from the jail)'1wa;& dropped from the.line-up' altogether. The best two-"of -the * juniors ��������� were pressed i.nt'6v service' and well they, showed ap-- -. ' :������ .i. i' ��������� On arriving, at Abbotsford the boys, had to wait three or four hours' and -in* consequence there were several narrow.escapes from death from excitement. The game started at 3:15 in the pouring Tain which kept up nearly the whole time;; Owing to the late ness of the houri only thirty min-, ute halves could;b"e .played..During the first ten minutes the game was even, both forwardllines, .making dangerous rushes/:'Then' Cox hit the post with a'.'*\dangerous, shot and afterv that tite 'Mission forwards- had ^t'<pretty-mnch^theip o w'n way They,/failed however tu score in the first half, though many shots were sent, in. p. Cox "in goal for Mission was tested once ort -wice but each.time he, cleared the.ball well. On changing over the local boys' went'right after, the Abbots, ford goal.and after a pretty bit of combination Mitchell scored Mis sion's first goal with a shot which was pracricaily .imsaveable. This seemed to take tha heart" out of Abbotsford 'and from that on the Mission defence held them easily A little later Cox and McTaggart who were playing, great football made a fine run up and Cox scored the second goal with a low shot which slipped through the goal-keeper's Kands. This practically decided the game but B. Catchpole, the- junior, centre forward thought there could be no harm) in (getting .another "which-- he did. The Abbotsford. forwards-head- ed by McGowan and Brown made some desperate rushes but could ot pass MeLelian the big centre half who was playing a star game. . Just before the whistle blew for time Mitchell toott the ball up the right wing and passed .back to McTaggart who scored" The referee couldn't Bee it that way and decided it was off-side. A minute later the game tended. P. Cox played a good) game in goal, doing all' that was required of him! Lamont made a brilliant showing at "back, being 'a Last Friday a goodly company of members .of the L. O.

Often tho only reason why a particular variety -.>.s' become popular .in certain localities is because when first Introduced It gave an *,xtra high yield, due more to exceptionally good' treatment In a favorable season than high -yield Ing qualities of the variety. When a new variety Is ,ir,troducdd .In; a-communlty or on a farm it should alwaya bo grown .in the same field and boside u well-kho.wn or standard variety. II is difficult to determine the' possibility . of; tiny variety when: comparing a' field on one end of the farm, with , another on the other end, or what 1b still worse, comparing one man'a Hold with that of his neighbor. A Cause of Sickness The primary" cause of many Internal complains of hogs Is the fermentation set up In the hog tub, in/to which refuse, often quite unsuitable for food, may be thrown, and In which which refuse that may originally be suitable changes Its character. It is difficult to avoid trouble of this kind, But there io need for some - correction of the idea that anything, however offensive, may be safely fed to pigs, for many, cas-as of serious Illness have been traced to the hog tub. One warning io specially called for ���������to beware of the presence of salt and soda In the swill. Both, In anything; like large quantities, are poisonous- to pigs, and this fact Is ,not to be set aside because someone' has' given his piga a little of either and, found that no harm resulted. The ewill in use in, many places receives the remains on the dinner plates,, on each of which there is probably some salt, the contents of the washing up pans, and other kitchen liquids In which soda and salt have been used, and the amount that may unwittingly bo given'to the pige In this way is sufficient to cause sickness.

Marigold had not the reputation of being a peacemaker as Jane had, yet she often throw some foreign matter between disputants. Her associates thought mostly, mat she did this unintentionally.

However, they were calling to her to go on, so she said: ��������� "After leaving the sweet and fragrant Evangeline land, one runs through a beautiful country, still fertile and covered with farms and villages. Soon, however, one 'strike*' into the woods. We "are hurrying toward the southern shore of the Pro- vlnce. where fine bays and harbors abound, where tourists come In shoals In summer, and where our fishermen 'and traders reap a boundi- ful harvest from .the ,sea.". "You're not very -far '':om the "sea anywhere in !Nova Scotia, are you'?,' Inquired Firefly. _ . "Never more than thirty miles," re* plied Judy. ' "What a lot of web-feet you must be," inserted Biddy, as Judy .opened her mouth to go on. "We 'are mostly ducks," said Judy. "Well, there is some farming done on the south shore in addition to the fishing. There are also trading and lumbering. Just now there is under consideration an addition to our pulp .and paper mills.

Now girls, have you any ld'o/ wha't this lovely place is like?" "As for me, I thought It was on the Bay of Fundy," said Biddy maliciously, "with tides sixty feet high." Judy groaned.

The site of the town is a -commanding one and ��������� the country- is visible round about for miles in all directions. , Ample divisional yards have been provided for railway purposes/and with an-eye to future development'the rati way company" has .reserved a block for'1 school" purposes, another block /for municipal- bullding3, and. a large area for a'public park. The two principal Streets are Royal avenue and Windsor-'street, and are each one hundred feet wide. Coronation town wais so named by the Canadian Pacificvp%ople, and prior to the sale of dots a���������few weeks ago. the site had no particularly big mark j on the map of Gan'ada. Coronation. In fact, was hot more-than nominally in existence !;until" the; ��������� date of the sade, though'a-few''enterprising merchants had erected -temporary shops and huts on lots which they Intended to bid for at-'the .sale, 'but which they had not yet secured.' Most of the men In possession -evidently were successful in getting legitimate title to their holdingSi for, only one man Is spoken of bb having to vacate after the sale, and he furnished one of the surprising scenes of an eventful day by hitching up ten teams of horses to his double^fronted hardware store and moving the structure -intact on to hie new lot. ��������� On the evening before the sale the firet passenger train,. filled with purchasers from all points of the continent, arrived In Coronation just two hours after the arrival of the !-track. Few of. the/travellers, however, were aware of the -fact that they were practically travelling oyer new steel as fast as It- was being laid down, and It. was not until the morning. following that' the scene of the track-laying; - machine at work a scant mile ahead of their train was revealed to the astonished gaise of the passengers: Perhaps the most -. commendable piece of .enterprise of a remarkable community,.however, was the issuing of a newspaper, the Coronation News Review, on the day. of the sale. The paper appeared early in the afternoon and contained a full report of tho sale proceedings during the morning.'-- Mr. Andrew Broder first saw the light of day at Franklin Centre, Que., on 18 April 1845, and was educated at Malone, N.I3,, and Huntingdon Academy, Que., subsequently transferring to the Dundas district where he hiis since continued to coax a fairly comfortable living from the land, being, Indeed, recognised as one of the particularly Intelligent .mombers of that section of humanity which sticks by the original working programme of Father Adam of ancient and" hlstorfc fame. With a natural business aptitude, full of the humor that never gives offence, sporting a delightful Irish brogue, and with that fondness for politics which is accredited to overy second member of Erin's- big family, Mr. Broder Is one of the really popular men-, in his district, and indeed over many miles both near and far. For a time he acted as Collector of Customs ai Morrisburg, Ont, but resigned in 1896 to take a seat In the' Commons where he has been noted as a speaker with few equals, quiet, but Incisive in style with wonderfully appealing perorations. Mr. Broder is married and has three sons and one, daughter. As portraying one phase of a pra- emlnently "straight" sample of the human family, ��������� not too often met with ��������� the story Is worth re-telling of how Mr. Broder, on one occasion, set himself a very stiff task in order that only 'a clean name could be associated "with his family. Some of Mr. Broder's relatives died and left debts. These debts preyed upon the mind of Andrew In his young days. "The name of Broder will be clean," he said to himself. "These debts will be paid." He sacrlfied everything to that end, the hard-earned pence which he managed to save brought down the debt but slowly. He could have made success for himselfhad the money which he paid away been utilized as capital with which to further, his own progress, but Andrew put away the "temptation from him, and In due time was able to point to a clean family slate.
