FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1921 Now that all municipalities are having their annual elections, we lino! people with various platforms asking the public's support for office, and ol course this paper cannot let the opportunity .pass without oi- i'cring a few suggestions that sure would be winners for a!freeves and councillors. The platform might be enlarged on to suit the particular municipality. ' 1. Good "roads:' in fact paved roads from all centres with a crushed rock road to every man's,house from the side or main road, as the case might be. 2. Taxes, municipal and school, not more than one mil! on the dollar, and pay any old lime, when the money has no other place lo be put. 3. Keep the municipalities credit up to par with all the banks, no matter how much each reeve or councillor has lo pay out of his own pocket for roads and schools. 4. Prevail upon Foster to have line weather for April, May, June, July, August and September, at least. 5. Give the trustees just enough money so they cannot be extravagant, and if they overreach the limit, have them pay it out of their own popkets. 6. Have the government enact a law that when.a reeve'or councillor does not act to suit 9.0 per cent, of the. people, have him resign. J.. H..

The Liberals, spared him all they could." Yes, indeed, Mr. Bowser has no.thing to thank the Li- herals for in' the way* of help in electing him or giving him "all they-could spare".- Bowser is quite able to take care of himself and has shown it by the fact that' he has now served the city of Vancouver for seventeen years and so'well has he done it that he is there lo serve out the.length of the present parliament,/which in the ordinary course of events would be twenty-one. or twenty-two years���������a record that is not equalled by any other Conservative or Liberal in the province���������and always in the same riding of Vancouver. There are just enough voters in the city of Vancouver lo exercise their ballot and show to the rest of. the province the legislative value of Mr. Bowser. Some prominent men when seeking election jump from one riding to another, not being able to be elected twice in the -same riding in succession. Bowser has always been able to come back to Vancouver and Vancouver has always said.go represent us again. Dr. O.R.'

They are out to educate the public along these lines and will start with the members of parliament.

No doubt if the boards of trade succeed other districts will be inclined to liy the same scheme. The people of Comox Valley are out to extend I heir markets for tlie various products and are planning io feed the industrial workers on the west coast of British Columbia.' The Valley is a beautiful o'ne and most productive, but is not near any 'market. Victoria and Nanaimo are not of much use to that district as they have their own productive districts close at hand. A rich district is not of much value unless there is a productive market within reach. For this very reason the soldiers of Melville would have done much better had Ihey chosen a tract of land in the Fraser Valley where there are two transcontinental railways to carry the surplus produce to the prairie markets. .

They will eat it in preference lo the most expensive prepared winter foods���������bran and all that sort of thins ���������and give more milk, with a higher butter-fat content, on sunflower ensilage. Mr. E. 0. Thomas, of Lioydmin- ster, cow testing supervisor for karchewan for the Dairy and Cold Storage branch of the Department of Agriculture, ^Ottawa, writes: The growing of sunflowers for ensilage has been adopted by a grot number of Saskatchewan farrrers during the past summer. There has been an abundant yield and the number of silos in the province has doubled since a year ago. At Lloyd- minster, Asquith, Guernsey, North Battford, and many other points they, are in use. At Meota there are two or more pit silos. In Rostherri district they are common among the dairymen supplying milk in Saskatoon city. "���������The feed produced is used wiLh great success for the winter feeding of both dairy beef and cattle. A w/*!ter in the Saskatoon Star has collected the following interesting data in the course of investigation;; in the province. - "Russian Mammoth was the seed generally used. It should be .sown in rows "thirty inches apart, as early in May as possible. Owing to the late spring this year, sowing was delayed in moat cases until the -end 'of May, but by harvest time mar.y fields were to be seen yellow with sun flow ei-a standing ten to twelve feet high. # - ������������������The yield of sunflowers on tne ten or twelve farms visit-?-..! varied fro.r. eight to twenty per acre.

Establishing Farms ami Stations When tho Borden government took olfice it found only twelve Dominion farms and stations. Of these the Central Farm at Ottawa and the others at Nappan, Brandon, Indian Head and Agassi?., had been organized in 1880 under the dispensation of .Sir John Macdonald and Sir Jofm Curling. During lhe fifteen years of the Lauricr ministry down to 1911 five others were planted'and in that election year two others were added, for which no doubt, the credit belongs to the. Liberal regime-and Mr. Fisher. This makes seven in fifteen years. If there are new twenty-five it would appear that dining the nine years after 1911 thirteen worp established, or more Ihan in the whole previous history of Canada.

For the next twelve days the three aspiring reeves, to wit, Reeve Ansell, Councillor Fulton and ex- Councillor Lilley will put their claims before the electors. Councillor Blois representing what is now Ward 5 and is practically iden titled with Ruskin and Whonnock has received an endorsement ot" his candidature for re-election from the Whonnock ratepayers. He is the. only member af the old council seeking to go back again to the' municipal board so far. Of course it is always in the cards that members may reconsider their decisions not to run-'again but Councillors Dale and Adam are positive they will not seek re-election Councillor Best wishes to make room for a new man and Councillor Fulton is contesting the reeveship. There is still a report persisting that Mr. John Mclver may be announced as a fourth candidate for the, reeveship.

This surviving vessel completed the journey around the world, robbed many Spanish colonies, and on June 15, 1744, returned to Portsmouth with the largest booty of precious metals ever taken from the Spaniards by a single vessel. It was carried from. Portsmouth to London in 32 wagons, guarded by the surviving 13 9 officers and seamen. The safe delivery of this treasure made the commander into a nobleman, Sir George Anson of national fame, and no questions were asked about the 1700 people who had perished in ' the adventure. It would appear that the value of a man's life in those days was of not so much value as today. Five New Trustees Required in Mission ��������� The election for school trustee should be an interesting one this ! year. | The board of 1920 has exceeded its estimates by some thousands of dollars, and of course this will be explained at the meeting. Much has , been undertaken during the past year and undoubtedly the members of the : old board who are In the running i'can stiow the electors that no extravagance has been indulged in in 1920. That all the monies spent wero absolutely necessary. Then there is the question of the Dewdney School District and Hatzic Island being, added to the Mission school district, necessitating the bringing of the Dewdney senior pupils to the school here. The question of expense is likely to come up and the benefits to the Dewdney district and the Mission district ratepayers. It will undoubtedly be'shown that consolidation is an expensive experiment and if the ratepayers wish it the. necessary taxes will have to be levied to meet the payments. At the present time it is reported that the rate of taxation for the schools in Dewdney is less than one mill while that in Mission is about 5 mills, and this year the board's estimates were too low.

The field was not an Ideal place for football, being about two inches of mud on a part of it which made the play very heavy. The play was even with Mission having the edge, if anything, but the breaks were against them and Marpole registered in both halves. In the second period Mission was given a penalty which C. Galliford made no mistake of, but the referee ruled that a Mission man had stepped over the line too soon, and ordered it to be taken again. This time the Marpole goalie got his hands on the ball and saved the goal The Mission boys lined up as follows: D. Galliford, P. Cox and Whistler; Fuzino; C. Galliford and C. Gibbard; J. Galliford, Brown, Bird Taylor and R. Cox. Among the many fans who-accompanied the local team were: Misses Sawyer, A. Cox, H. Shea, H. Bates, L. Abercrombie, J. Shea, L. Gibbard, A. Elliott, N.

('RAND FORKS SEAT IS STILL J>OUI3TFUL Today, January 5th, has been set for lhe judicial recount of the ballots cast for the Grand Forks candidates in the recent provincial election. The recount will take place before Judge Brown of the County Court. It has been granted on application of the agent of John McKie, Conservative candidate, the point of contention being that some 30 of the 50 rejected ballots clearly indicated the intention of the voters. The ballots in question were rejected because of the fact that the cross was placed immediately after the name rather than in the white square opposite the name. Of these 30 rejected ballots approximately 2 5 are for MciCio and the balance for 1.0. C. Henniger, the Liberal candidate, who now stands elected by only nine of a majority. If these ballots are declared valid McKie would be elected with a majority of from five to ten.

The League officials have signed their willingness to play a selected team from clubs belonging to the affiliation and suggested Clayburn and Good Friday as the day. The Ranchers have left it to the League to fix up these details.
