" ^ ' '��������� tThe object' of the,Exchange is to" stabilize the market'and assure the , producer of a fair price-for, product at a fair price tp the consumer. 'Owners' of- thousands of birds ' have signed up" for membership In the past ten days'. In order to give -the small producer who becomes a member of the Exchange the same marketing privileges as the , large, producer, egg collecting depots are being established in-various distr'c'- where small amounts of eggs can be disposed of for shipment at prevailing prices. Arrangements are being made to establish one of the collecting stations'in Abbotsford , in the course of the next two weeks,^ and the Goyerment system of egg packing will also be used with special arrangements for shipping so that when the case is opened, the receiver can tell exactly where the eggs sent by each producer are placed in the box. The 'Co-operative Exchange has very materially assisted the poultry farmers in the matter of marketing and prices and also in the grading of eggs, and all poultrymen would gain by availing themselves of this help offered by the Exchangei methods.

Editor and Proprietor 'FRIDAY,, JANUARY 5, 1923 ax. The New Year passed off quietly, there not being very rmuch of the usual noise���������the- blowing" of horns, whistles and sending off "of firecrackers. Just a very few of th'e; usual noises that one hears on! the dawn of a New Year. It* may be'that the eve of 1923 falling on a Sunday made tho difference, or was it the :��������� rainy night? There are many things we hope will be satisfactorily settled during the coming year, and it is up to all of us to devote our energies to the solving of those problems that concern- the -community, for its better- merit arid advancement. "During these days' of< small* profits, with poor markets'the. coming year brings its problems for'*1,the fruitgrower' and farmer; 'also' the' merchant and business man. Whether the present effort'���������for organization ��������� among- the fruit-growers1 will bring -'the'-desired 1 reSult no 'brie -is' prepared!'' to ' say. Many people at the present -lime are rather '��������� disgusted witlr co-operation as carried out in ;ther Fraser.-Valley during ������h'e past few years; but in co-oper atfon'* and'Hh'o'rbugti--organization we beli'ey,e;ii'es thV'true solution for the ' grower' of''fruits1.-' ' ** - - It is the only way that the grower will-be'able' to-compete "with bth- ,/. ers in the same market. - But co-operation-thoroughly'carried out costs money; as-there 'are sure to be many -. mistakes made until "such time as organization', .is*, perfected. But tho plan .would appear to , be to make "- these^losses-asismall as possible, in - the*, meantime. - . -The grower must be able to live and pay his way during this' period. > ' ��������� - - . In other products of the farm too there must-be better organization to compete with-, the- well planned ou,t schemes 'that are ��������� being mooted to' satisfy "--"those- nieri who- handle farm , products to make large profits, much of wriich should go, "to the man on tlie soil." ' The middleman must be cut out. ��������� The ,|a'rml produce of-"all kinds must go"as 'direct' as -possible ' to the con sumer. 2. .-.-.>( gotten'man is patriotic and conscientious; he pays Jiis continually' increasing taxes and his continually increasing' bills witli some private grumbling, no ' doubt, but withoin any articulate protest. He thinks thai- it is all inevitable. He does not realize how many of his burdens are tho result of some shrewd arrangements between legislators, with an eye r.u their "own political advantage or of extravagances that theorists in government or politicians who are interested in the creation of more- offices press upon a bewildered congress or parliament. The forgotten man often forgets himself, and as a member of some political party or social organization cheers and votes for economic or administrative policies that he thinks are going to help him to a better living, whereas those policies quietly abstract two dollars from his pocket for every dollar they put there. ��������� , We do not need to point out to anyone that tax bills are a great deal larger than they used to be. The man who does not find them three times as" large is lucky. And while direct taxation' doubles and doubles again, indirect taxation through rents, food and other necessary expenses does not diminish but rises' with the other. The forgotten man, who is not a landlord or a speculator or a trader,' is not in a position to profit by rising prices. He simply pays the bills, and he is hard put to it to keep on paying them. ' . The forgotten man is not a revolutionary, except under obvious oppression. He is a hard and faithful worker, and he is inclined to accept* conditions as he finds them, and to struggle along under them as long, as he can. He is the most coservalive force in- society, the cement that holds the social structure together. But, he can be tried too far. He is not likely to rebel openly, or to enter the scramble for favors from the government. But if things get too hard for him, he will '��������� simply stop having a ���������family. He and his kind will fade out of the social picture as' they did when the classic civilization fell. And when he has disappeared events will amply revenge him.' We are not yet at that, point. But we cannot safely go much further in government lavishness. For our own salvation we mus,t begin-to remember the forgotten man.���������Ex. FAMILY BUDGET IS LESS THAN JT WAS A YEAR AGO to .such a point where it will lubricate" the herrings and gears as it is intended to do. This passing of ' gasoline to the duced by the use of a radiator shutter or cover for keeping the engine warm during idle periods, when it may be left standing out-of-doors or in unhealed garages. Numerous devices are being marketed for this ���������purpose ranging from a water-proof covering to an automatic control .shut ter. A hand-operated shutter which serves the purpose of conserving the heat of the engine to a'-very great extent and is very economical to install, can' be purchased from any re- ,!���������"��������������� hie accessory dealer.

THE FORGOTTEN MAN. "The newspaper is a great organization. Its success, its existence depends on the appreciation and good will of the'public. If the public supports a paper devoted to the well-being of the community, that devotion will continue. So you pan have a press as independent and high-minded as you deserve." So said George M. Murray, recently at the , brotherhood "meeting at tho First Presbyterian ' Church. His subject was: "Tho Mission of the Press," and the address," and the discussion which followed it, proved informative and interesting. The speaker sketched the history of the newspaper. He showed how, in the early days, the press was hamo- ered and fettered by an irritating censorship, and' how men like Samuel Johnson, Leigh Hunt, Charles Dickens, Douglas Jerrold and others had' fought for "The Liberty of the Press," and Gladstone, Bright and Cobden had taken off the taxes on knowledge. .Education had made the British empire an empire of readers, and the press* was now in- clispensible to every home.. A, tribute was'paid to Horace Greely, Wm. Lyon1 - Mackenzie, George Brown. Joseph Howe, Sir Wilfrid Laurier and others, who, in ''"this western world, had kept true to the best traditions of the press. The wonderful development of newspaper work were "graphically described. The changes produced by steam and electricity ' were great, and how wireless and radio, associ-j ated with newspaper enterprise, supplemented the printed' sheet. The people of England had to wait two days for news of Waterloo, but now- "news" appeared in print a few minutes after the events recorded had- happened. Mr. Murray urged university training for journalists and for advertising .writers, but he pleaded much for an enlightened, ��������� ethical publk opinion, which would find its reflec- ,tion in the press���������a press which thus 'stimulated would feeKan urge towards what made for the public .good. An interesting discussion followed, and the speaker was warml}- thanked for his illuminating address.

The for- Protecting the finish of a highly polished car and conserving the heat energy generated by the motor are 2 highly important things to. any motorist.' Another highly important feature of winter driving is the care of the storage battery in the car. The finish of a car may be exposed to serious damage during winter,' due to the fact that mud ��������� and water frozen on the paint dull the finish and cause the paint to chip. During the winter months, extreme care should be taken to keep the finish free from dirt. Contrary to popular belief, hot water should not be used in cleaning a car, as it is equally as injurious as' mud and; ice. If it is not possible to take the car into a warm place for washing where the ice will thaw and can be easily removed, lukewarm'water, may be used with injury to the finish. . v 1 Heat is one of the all important factors in winter driving. ...D.uring the summer months the '" average driver has' little trouble with getting his motor warm enough to operate smoothly arid economically, but during the winter it is difficult, for some cars to warm the motor enough to insure this effi-cient operation. As a result'gasoline passes by the pistons and gets into the crank case; the'"'gasoline'' does not give its maximum power and the oil is not heated. - A.

POULTRY A FOOD , NUT A LUXURY NEW CAVE IS DISCOVERED GLACIER, B.-C.���������By far the largest cave in .the'; series .of '.'subterranean ca'vefris"in'"TJlacier".National Park known as The - Nakimu Caves has -just "-been; ��������� .uncovered* by workmen engaged iri ' development 'work. Unusual interest is being shown ia this-discovery as it-opens up possibilities for exploration the extent.ot which can only be. surmised. .The Nakimu Caves, the most wonderful ' series; of underground chambers in .Canada, ��������� was- rtiscq-yerod in 1904 by a .miner while prospecting. in the Cougar valley. The story of the.early explorations of these underground, caves reads - like a page from Jules Verne. .Over, a mile of high-domed, halls and connecting passages, whose wall of crystalline limestone send, back the rays of the lights ;in a ��������� myriad of ��������� colours, are open to. visitors forming one of the most" thrilling ��������� .experiences' imaginable. *.���������'-������������������'-"��������� Halfway* down the valley Cougar creek,'. which' has--'come down.'' from the' glaciers, is ' sudderily snatched down into the bowels of the mountain and-iroars along '��������� through* the caves at the.very feet of the visitors. Twice during.,.the ��������� course of a mile it reappears, and ; flows for a little in the light'��������� of day to finally.disappear by an underground channel. The rumbling of the waters through the' caves is' probably responsible for the . name, "Nakimu" which means ','grumbling or spirit noises." The new chamber which adjoins Cave No. 4 is a large cathedral-like cavern , ..equalling . in t length and height some of our,largest'halls.-. It is 4 3 5 - feet ��������� long and f/p/ri^ i 2 'to .16 feet' in 'width with ari^'-approximate height of ..10 6f feet.' ���������../,; ���������'- THE MAGIC MIRROR (By Walt -Mason) r went, one night with my high- priced thirst to loaf in the booze bazaar, and,.as I sampled the. old red dope I leaned on'the handsome bar. My purse was'- full of the good long green, and my raiment was smooth and new, and I looked as slick as/a cabbage rose that's kissed by'the nice wet dew;- Behind the bottles a mirror stood,. as large as your parlor floor, arid I looked and .looked in the shining glass, and -wondered, and looked sorne more. .My own reflection did not appear, but there where it' should have been, I- saw the form of a'cringing bum all crumpled and soaked with gin. His n'cjs'e was red and his eyes were dim; unshorn was his swollen face, and I thought it queer such a seedy bo would come to so smooth a place. I (turned around for a better look at this ef- figv of despair, and nearly fell in a. little heap, for the effigy wasn't there! The barkeep laughed. "It's the Magic Glass," he said with a careless yawn; "it shows a man how he's apt to look years hence "when his roll is gone!" Poultry meat has' dropped in price to'such an extent that its general use should -be more seriously considered. Viewed from the .economic as well as die scientific standpoint of nutrition it 'is worthy of a higher place and more frequent use in "the daily diet_ than it has-been accorded., It should" be regarded* as' an essential 'part of our diet, rather'than as a luxury.'. The question of the value of poultry'meat for food has been given.at-. tention by chemists at .various times. Results of their researches have been published from time to time. Analyses have been made of the flesh of practically all''. kinds' of domestic- fowl-and these1'furnish a basis' for other articles of human food. ', A comparison , of poultry - meats with beef, veal, lamb and pork show that the refuse in poultry is soinewhat less than in the other meats. Furthermore, the carcass ot fowl can be used as soup stock, thus rendering available a large amount of'nourishment.which would otherwise be lost and'which in the case'of, other meats is often discarded. The amount of water is about the same in poultry as in other moats but the amount of- indigestible nutrients in poultry," is small. Summing up these differences poultry shows a slightly higher portion actually available for nourishment than other moats. As fats' furnish-more heat/per unit-weight "than-, proteins-or carbohydrates rind' since' poultry meat is somewhat low-, e'r in fat than other meats' its fuel value is correspondingly less. ��������� To state this in .another ��������� way,- --poultry meat furnishes more tissue 'forming biit less of the heat forming elements and" it must' bo borne in mind that- as a rule the former are the more expensive. , , " - Common .or domestic fowl contains, more refuse" than average poultry, is about average in protein but richer in'fat. Turkey contains relatively little refuse- about 2 per cent, riiqro' protein^ and,, the same .proportion of fat., Goose.'shows the, lowest proportion of refuse of ' the "poultry 'meats', "a-lower proportion of protein but much higher fat content.'' Combined with this is a certain prejudice against goose which has a tendency to lower the market price'. This has resulted to make goose of the cheapest, most wholesome and nutritious foods''on -the rnarket.. Duck cbntains' relatively-'large amounts of refuse, little protein and large .quantities of fat. : ��������� '. Poultry as a whole , (especially chickens and geese) with the low- price and high muscle . forming properties, the easily digested and palatable qualities' make the ideal meat food for everybody, particularly for those in offices,and for invalids and children.' .

T CHEV. PRODUCES' A J SUPERIOR MODHL The Chevrolet Motor Company is now producing a new surperior model which supplants the famous "490" for eight years known as one of the loading medium priced light cars, according to the Begg Motor Co.,' Ltd., Vancouver dealers. The new superior is much improved in both-chassis and body construction. The complete new line include? the touring car, roadster, light delivery car, utility coupe, sedanette and sedan, all enclosed models-carrying the Fisher' Body Company's .metal name and plate. ��������� The sedanette is an entirely new body.type. , It is,a four-passenger, car carrying a -large trunk at the rear of the body with metal protection strips placed to prevent chafing. The two front seats are, full size,, comfortably upholstered,, and tilt forward for" access to the rear seat. This is, of course, also a Fisher body. '��������� " The radiator on all models is considerably higher r than heretofore', which, of course, means a larger and higher hood and cowl. This gives full stream line effect on all. body types. The gasoline tank is' now carried at the rear with Stewart vacuum feed on all models. Headlights are of the new .drum type andequip- ed with legal lenses, while the curtains on all models open with the doors, and the front doors, open-in the opposite, direction,' to the rear doors. ..-.''���������: ��������� Fenders are of the .new full-crown type with'a graceful curve -over both front and rear, wheels. They, have a rib rolled into "them which stiffens them considerably-and adds to-, .the appearance.'^ Tlie plate between/ .tl^e, running board and frame also "��������� has a rib rolled'into it which makes" it strong, and effective in. appearance. There are , a great many .small louvres' in the hood, which makes it more attractive .and , stronger than in the previous models. The frame,has been, lengthened a trifle and the wheel, base .increased slightly.* The frame is.also. considerably' heavier, which, . with '��������� the added - equipment, - increases the weight about 125 pounds'. This will make for increased riding comfort. The steering gear is of a . new type worm"and. sector,, replacing the. spur gear type on previous models.-..

Quaint to modern eyes looks old locomotive No. 374, which drew this first Atlantic Express. It burnt cordwood, and with its big smokestack, its generous display: of polished brasswork, which shone like -gold; its array, of flags and floral decorations, made an. imposing' spectacle. Goal burning engines had drawn the train over the ea.c<"*"Ti and prairie sections of the lin( ������ 'resident E. W.

That day, a memorable one in the history of Canada, will always be one of Vancouver's most important anniversaries. In 1887, the journey from Montreal,to Vancouver, which now takes but four days, consumed a full week. "Queen's weather ushered in the day long looked for by the Vancqu- verites���������the blending of the Occident and the Orient," states a, despatch sent that day from the Coast. "When the train reached Vancouver carrying the-officers j of the road and your special correspondent, it was greeted with ringing cheers in every direction. Streamers floated on the breeze across the track at different points, while the ships and boats in the I Brown, general freight agent." ������ harbor were resplendent with variegated colors. At the railway wharf it seemed as if all Vancouver had congregated, and a mighty shout went up as the train thundered into the station under a double archway of fir. t> "There were many eastern travellers who proudly boasted that they, -were the first to come through from Montreal. The Vancouver City band struck up "See- the conquering hero comes" in good time, as Mayor McLean mounted the platform and proposed three cheers for the Canadian Pacific Railway and its popular local manager, Mr. Abbot, who made a grateful acknowledgment. The mayor then read a complimentary address to Mr. Abbot, who replied in pleasant and suitable terms and made an appropriate reference to the able assistance which he had received from.

Mr. Murphy pointed out that there was difficulty in getting bottoms on the lakes'to take the grain out, but the elevators' were . far from being full, arid the Canadian Pacific still.had the big'Trans- cona elevator empty. Already Mr. Murphy stated there was a large quantity of'grain being . shipped out from .the head of. the lakes by the all rail route. He declared that. he could see no grain blockade in sight. Mr. Murphy pointed-out that^the Canadian Pacific had -moved 14,000 cars off the Saskatchewan' division of the railway. This was five thousand more cars of/ Saskatchewan wheat than had been mdved in the same period in any year. , , He also pointed, out that' even with the unprecedented; grain movement the Canadian Pacific was moving from 250 to 275 carloads per day from the Western coal.,mines. "There was thirteen thousand tons -moved yesterday," he declared. I' was here three weeks'or a month ago * and-at that time I stated we were moving 250 to 275 cars of- coal a day, and the movement has been kept at that ever flince. We realize, he declared, that the wheat can be moved during the cold weather arid people can live, but if the cold weather comes and there is no coal there will be great suffering in the country, and possibly worse.
