''I see no cause for pessisism at all in the New Year in British Columbia," said Premier John Oliver, who was in Vancouver on Monday in connection with P. G. E." railway matters and was invited-to -give the peor pie of British Columbia a New Year message. "We'have ,got plenty of opportunity for development;we have plenty of natural wealth. It requires simply the application of capital and labor to it in an intelligent manner to produce the necessary happy results. Our future depends very largely on how that problem is grappled with. "Even with the return of our soldiers, there should be no fear of unemployment if the matter is properly handled. There has got to be a willingness to invest on the part of those with capital and there must be a willingness to give value in return on the part of labor. Unless you can get tho proper combination of the two, you cannot bring about the conditions desired. "I think if labor is reasonable, there will be a willingness to invest. If labor is not reasonable, investment will not be made, consequently a great deal depends upon the attitude of the worker. "You can take it for one dead sure thing capital will not be invested unless there.is some reasonable prospect of return. Wo have not reached that stage yet where men with money are willing to throw it away. I think prospects on the whole arc encouraging. It is not going, to be an easy matter but I see no reason for pessimism. "In" farming you have to prepare your ground, put in the seed and cultivate iI, before you get'a crop," added tho Premier, when asked if lie a- greed with some of the rosy visions of British Columbia's prosperity In the immediate future which some re- construclionists have been inspired with. "That work has not yet been done for the millenium," continued the Premier, "and in British Columbia we have got to prepare the ground and put in the seed before we aro going to reap. Any person who imagines the harvest is. going to come without preparatory work is, in my opinion, mistaken." ���������FUTURE MAY HAVE BURDENS BUT OUR HERITAGE JS GREAT" Is Message of Sir Robert Borden to Canadians Walch Abbotsford grow in 1010. Ottawa, .'Dec. 31.���������Sir Ribert Borden has-addressed the following New- Year's message.to the Candian people "London, Dec. 30, 1918.���������To the people of Canada: ' We enter the New Year upon the morrow of the most startling and significant events ever chronicled in the history of humanity. During the last two months great empires have been extinguished governments founded in absolutism have crashed, nationalities long held in boudage have been liberated, new nations", and with them, untried international relationships have sprung into existence. "Four years ago our country, absorbed as it was in internal problems of development, was inevitably .brought into a conflict which vitally acected the destiny of the Britannic states. The deliberations now in progress for Lhe assuring the world's peace are thus of infinite concern to us, as to all the nations. I realize that my duty as prime minister demands'my close attention to the affairs of the people," who more than a year ago entrusted me with so high a mandate; but I am convinced that during these deliberations, or at least until definite conclusions shall have been readied, my first duty to my country demands my presence here. As Canadian had worthily and unselfishly take a proud part in the struggle now happily ended, so must she take a not less worthy and conspicuous part.in achieving results without which her sacrifices and that of all the nations would bo meaningless. "The burdens with which the future confronts us aro heavy, hut they are insignificant, in conipai'ion with tlie heritage which is ours. With solemn thank fulness for tlie blessing of peace and animated, in spite of war-weariness, by the spirit which lias hitherto maintained our purpose, let us face the New Year with courage, with determination and with confidence." (Signed) R. L. BORDEN MISSION CITY FOOTBALLERS- WINS OVER ABBOTSFORD Miss Jeannie and Jessie Anderson are home from Bellingham. At a return match here on New Year the Mission City footballers put it all over Abbotsford in a grand game of football on tlie Agricultural grounds, winning a score of 4 to 0 in favor of Mission City. For four hours on Friday last re- ��������� prosontatives of' Fraser Valley communities were "in session at Chilliwack regarding the Mosquito Pest Control Bill. The minister of agriculture, Mr. Barrow, M. L. A., was among those present, w'hile C. E. Tis- dall and F. B. Lucas, detailed and explained the. 27 sections suggested by the latter as necessary in the proposed "Mo.squito Control Act" which the minister has been requested to assume control of as a government measure in the next session of the legislature. The Act according to schedule A. will include all ;,.'the municipalities from Kent westward, excepting only Chilliwack and New- Westminster cities, and Point Grey and South Vancouver. Schedule B gives local boundaries subject to a survey. Schedule C suggests as a basis for the act an assessment up to $ 15,000 for one year only, as follows: Delta, Richmond, Lauglcy, Surrey Kent, Maple Ridge, Port Coquitlam. Pitt Meadows,-^feoTruitlam Municipality,- Port Moody,' B'urnaby, share be- 5 i er cent of the necessary sum required. Mission, Matsqui, Sumas and Chilliwack municipality are each ������������������.sHCESod at 7 1-2 per cent., Fraser Mills at 2 1-2 per cent, and the government on account of unorganized territory 12 1-2 per cent. The majority of the clauses were adopted with little alteration or discussion, but certain of them were strongly opposed. Amongst others, Reeve Sullivan held that mosquities in Surrey "were not worth speaking of." Mayor Ash well protested against Chilliwack City being asessed and won out. He said that the mosquitoes like the money spent in Chilliwack all came from the country. Reeve Evans and his colleagues could see no reason why the city should not pay if the municipality had to. Discussion became strenuous until Mr. Tisdall pointed out that the meeting was not passing the bill, but only considering what met. their views and that the legislature would settle the terms finally. Reeve Mc- Rae, of Kent, fought strenously a- gainst being assessed five per cent, and Reeve Sullivan fought against the exclusion of certain municipalities from tlie operation of the act. A vote eventually included three districts. Langley, it was held, drew its mosquitoes from Glen Valley, and Mr. Tisdall apparently had never seen mosquitoes in the Delta, Richmond or Sea Island, though resident many years. Much criticism was indulged in regarding the value of "professional engineers," one delegate instancing the Delta waterworks and other .'expert advice. Mr. Barrow, who throughout was most interested and had the necessities very clearly in mind, spoke several times and emphasized the need of land reclamation, drainage and oiling. He thought the necessary funds for initial work could be made available from the Federal Government grant for increasing production In British Columbia up to certain limits. It was generally felt that a difficulty would arise in meeting tho; residents' views as to tlie pro rata liability for each district, but Mr. The rumor that Councillor Melander will, enter the reeve lists to oppose Mr. P. Tow Ian is without any foundation whatever: he will probably seek re-election as-councillor. Reeve McCalium and Mr. Towlan will both run for reeve. '' Councillor Aish, at present in the Antipodes, is to be opposed by at least three candidates, Mr. Wm Elliott will be in the field again, Mr. C Crist is being spoken of and Mr. W. Beharrell is also expected 'by his friends to-take, the seat. There is however no-evidence of opp-jsui^a to ������"oun. McLean, tut- against Co.un. Phinney, Mr. Pat Conroy of Gifford hopes to claim a victory. PERSONALS Chilliwack Mr. C. A. Barber, who has been editor of the Chilliwack Progress for six years, has resigned, and will probably start out for himself.. The town has quite recovered from the meeting held here by the Mosquito delegation. The mayor impressed upon them the fact that there wero no mosquitoes in Chilliwack city, that, they all come from the country.' Mr. Stacey will hold a public meeting on-the 14th to talk federal matters over. Last Sad Rites (From the Fraser Valley Record) -The funeral'of the late Mr. A'.'

Coryell The coming year should see many changes in the Fraser, Valley and all the towns in it. Changes that may be only a forerunner of what we may expect in the near future. British Columbia in the next ten years should have more development than has taken place during the past quarter of a<century. We have the raw products for the period of reconstruction; Ave have the soil for producing, and produce at least enough for our own consumption, and still have a little left for a neighbor or two; we have the climate for those who on the prairies become weary of a cold climate, and our climate might even tempt some from other countries should the opportunities be taken advantage of���������the opportunities of a new country. But we must get ready for all this, get good roads, keep down the taxes and generally .make the country a likely and a lovely ono to live in. What plans have you made to help out your part of the up-building that is to take place? I-fave you made any plans, or are you drifting? There is no class of British Columbian better fitted' to take his place in the coming prosperity than the man who is a member of and takes an active part in the Dairymen's Association of the Lower Fraser Valley. ��������� This is getting to be a grand organisation���������one that its members should be proud to belong to. No more does tho middleman say to the Dairymen: "You will take what we give you." The dairymen are in tho position now of saying 'we are going to do so and so, we trust it will suit you, but if it don't suit you we can get along without you.' Would not that be a good position for tlie fruit grower'tobe" In? The fruit growers know how to do It, but if they don't they know where there is a very good example to follow. A MENACE AXD A FAILURE Hiatory records ljut few instances of socialism having done anything toward advancing the phyical,- mental or moral conditions of'a community or a nation. So far socialism is the mystic dream book of the mentally altruistic faker; who, however, is himself practical enough to wish to give somebody else something for nothing; provided, of course, that he Is personally paid for the transaction. To the advanced socialist leader it appears to be such an easy task to relievw the needs of the improvident by pointing to the personal and collective wealth "of those who struggled hard for n competency and declare: "There is the solution of the whole problem! Your neighbor possesses more than you: go help yourself! Go attack him, and reduce him to your own social and financial level!" Sounds sort of silly, doesn't it? But they are doing that very same thing in Russia and Central Europe today. The word "socialism" does not always bntray the sinister meaning which, were it properly defined, it would convey. It, as a word, is one of the most skillfully constructed bunch of innocent looking let- tors ever used as a camouflage to conceal a true interpretation. And, furthermore tho word socialim has not been abused by those who oppose it and the things for which it. stands. Tho educated world'today looks at socialism as a ' means used to disgrace decent manhood; as a dire potential threat hurled into the very teeth" oi! national lav.* and order; as a monstrous combination of words' and deeds to bo used in an effort to disrupt society, and to level to the ground tlie structure of 'jane govern in on t. Socialism bears no relationship to democracy; and the physical arguments being coudutcd in the name of super-socialism in Europe pro\e that Ihe socialist is more the autocrat than w;:s ho who abdicated the Prussian . throne. Fritz Ebert is a German supor- socialist democrat, lie" is the son of aliicdelberg journeyman- tailor; being himself a ha'rncssmaker; one time editor of-the Burger-Zeitung; also secretary of a labor union; affiliated himself with the German Working Youths' Association,- which was thoasknow- ledged school of socialism throughout Europe. Later he was appointed to the executive committee of the socialist national organization; "was elected to the reichstag in JO J 2, and became chairman of his party in 3 913. ' , . Fritz Ebert was educated by the proletariat; h-s was supported by tho common people; whatever political success he enjoyed was due entirely to the wage earners' confidence in him. He accepted election to the reichstag with the openly avowed intention of advancing the noninilifaristie ideal of the common-people. He arrayed the masses against the clases; iio fired the brains of the working people again! the governing class. Now had Fritz Ebert gone along in a consistent manner attacking Germany's rotten system of autocracy, all would have been well. But he did not! I-le betrayed ,the political trust imposed in him and dc- ��������� libr'ately trade:! his inuuence, his prestige, his power, -his personality, for what? Fritz Ebert supported Germany :��������������������������� war program beyond (.he limit; ho .hacked up Von Bethmaiin-l-lolhvcgg; he voted for the I. re in end ous German warloan,to bo used as a murder fund against (lie masses and classes alike of Belgium, Serbia and Franco. ��������� ' There's your Fritz Ebert! There's your true mouth piece of the Socialistic party! Thcre'san example of forceful, temperamental, dynamic brain playing with tlie destiny of millions of people. There's tho man who, like'Licbknecht, would prostitute his calling for personal power ,ego, riches, class privileges and admiration. You call this an isolated case? Not so! Leninc, Bergo.r, Trotzky, Schicdemann, Bernstein, Hilquit, all loaders, all promoters, all agitators against an established form of recognized government. And there are thousands and more than thousands" such leaders who always fail to put into practical channels the visions of the good things (?) so glibly promised. Anarchy, red terror, Bolshevist���������all names, nil labels, all expressions of a decayed theory that, wh-'n it did bear fruit, bore only Dead sea fruit! It is admitted no government is or can be perfect. But it !s a most dangerous proposition to offer an untried substitute. Under the head of socialism exist the other institutions of I. W. W.-ism and practicers of sabotage. The anarchist always proclaims himself the super.-socialist. Does the responsibility rest upon the .recognized socialist propaganda? It does. ' If tlie' history of the last four years, and.particularly of the last few months does not prove it then the researcher into contemporaneous physical and political history has read, studied and viewed wrongly. Socialism has always wished to internationalize itself. It has never been particularly devoted to the ideals of its own nation. Socialists, from Bellamy and Besant'and Leadbetter, have longed to work out the theory of a universal hierarchy of spiritism, politics, religion and physical advancement. They wish to brush aside restraint; they wish to create new and untried standards. So far they have made a complete muddle of tlie whole transaction, and in sheer desperation they are deliberately shifting the blame from actual conditions onto the shoulders of repudiated persons. Socialism is a dead issue. It proclaimed no greater truth than its own dreary, drab failure; its red flag has become a menace and its mysterious constitution is a jumble of resolution's as dead as the autocratic constitution of German Junkerdom. rj'he Red Rag Of Anarchy The thing was made from a bit of rag, Dyed in the blood of unreasonable hate; . Not a bar, or a stripe; not a star on its field, Not a word nor a motto inscribed on shield, It would not wave on the buoyant air, But dropped like an object of black despair; ��������� For 'twas dipped in a vat of blood-red hate By the hand of those who'd destroy the state. Yet they called it what it never could be���������a flag. _ Oh, tlie thing -was mado from a bit of rag Torn from the corpse of Hungry Greed. It could not Moat, nor snap to the wind, But dragged like a soul that icnew it had sinned. And those ���������who' would follow this grotesque thing Sorrow and woe to the world would bring. Yet they march with their souls full of foul black greed Reckoning of the terrible need ���������Of loyalty and full-sworn faith to a nation's flag. Oh, tho thing they chose was a blood-red rag That had covered the breast of a despot, dead, And the stench in Its fold was a curse on the air, And tlie truth that it told was of black despair, And the dread red rag has been given birth By the scum of those who litter the earth. Why do. they follow this-thing of red That offers'no hope for (lie living but dread? Why can't they gaze in reverence o'erhead At the Emblem of Justice, America's Flag? ���������Guy Manners, in Seattle P.-I. Do you ever'doubt the operator when you get this report on your call?

BEFORE the war, bond buyers were "marked men." hi number they were 40,000 in March 1917���������this . is shown by the number of purchasers of ihe Government War Loan of that date. But in the autumn of the year, their number increased twenty times���������to 820,- 000! This number purchasing the Victory Loan, 1917. Last month���������-November, 1918���������over 1,000,000 persons purchased the Victory Loan, 1918! These wonderful results were accomplished by Press Advertising-. Before the war one-half of one per cent, of our people bought bonds. Now quite twelve and one-half per cent, of our people are bond buyers! Before the stupendous amount of $670,000,000 worth of bonds could be sold to our Canadian people in three weeks a most thorough and exhaustive campaign of education was necessary,-and this campaign was carried through by advertising in the public press. The power of the printed word never had a more convincing demonstration. By means of the printed word, through the medium of advertisements in the press of our country, the Canadian people were made to know what bonds are, the nature of their security their attractiveness as an investment, and why the Government had to sell bonds. Every point and feature of Victory Bonds was illustrated1 and described before and during the campaign���������in adver tisements. No argument was overlooked. No selling point was neglected. The result'is that Canadians today are a nation of bondholders. They know what a convenient safe and profitable form of investment bonds are. Instead of one man in two hundred owning bonds, now one Canadian in eight���������men.women and children���������owns a Government Security. This complete transformation in the national mind and habits was brought about by advertising in the press of the nation. Press advertising has justified itself as the surest and speediest method by which a man's reason can be influenced and directed. The Minister of Finance acknowleges this. His own word are: Mr. JO. II. W'oood, Chairman of the Dominion Executive Committee having oversight of the campaign to raise'Victory Loan, 191.8, said " * * The press publicity campaign "! * '���������' will rank as one of the most remnrkubic and efficient publicity cam pnigtis ever undertaken in any country," and Mr. J. II. Gundy, Vico-Chairman of the' committee said: '"'I havo boon soiling' bonds for a.long1 time, but 1 never found It so easy to sell f.licm as at this time. The reason Is the .splendid work tlie press lias done. I lake of liiy'linf, (o tho press of Canada." "TJie wonderful success of'the Loan was due in large measure to their (the press of Canada) .splendid and untiring efforts during".tlie' whole of the Campaign." The .success of Victory Loan, 1918, and the knowledge which Canadians now possess of bonds are a straight challenge to the man who doubts the power of the printed word, in the form of advertisements, to sell goods���������and this applies not to bonds alone, but to the goods YOU are interested in selling.
