Commencing, with a luncheon at the Russell Hotel, where Mayor J.

Mr. F J. R. Whitchelo started the ball rolling." on this subject when he slated that thirty to forty per cent, of the goods brought into his country entered free of duty. The Sumas' merchants <are' not at all backward to this method of evading duty payments some of them he averred, having gone to the expense of fitting up ladies' dressing rooms wtiere string, pins and other "what-nots" are provided in order that purchases may be stowed away on the person, far fr4$& the prying- eyes of the officials. The remedy thought Mr. Whitchelo would be for the transfer of officials from one- station to another after a certain peiiod and also^ the appointment of, more women inspectors. Mr. E. Hardie, White Rock, supported the Abbotsford business man when he stated that the traffic worked a hardship on Canadian merchants, while Mr. Barge, a former immigration official, declared that the government did not back up the efforts of the officers.

Somebody is getting cold feet politically in this province and wo were jusL wondering who it was���������whethoi it was the Liberals or the Conserva tives. Aft have com there is a little coldness on both sides. Now which side has' tho worst attack we are not prepared to say definitely; but what we do know is that. the Liberals are making the most noise, about it and the Liberals, besides wanting to get. rid of their own ��������� leader want to get rid of the Conservative leader too. We do not blame the Liberals for trying to get rid of the present government at Victoria, as taking their own ,\vord for it, the Victoria aggregation lost for th,is province Liberal representation at Ottawa, a thing most devoutedly to be desired. Wo have read somewhere, perhaps in a Vancouver .daily that the record of the Oliver government was such that it made Liberals of the - province around'election time think that if they had a Liberal government at Ottawa it' might act the same way as they did in this -province���������towards the end of disrupting the party. There is good copy for the^ian who will get out. and write an editoral on the different kinds of provincial Liberals and their aims and objects. But notwithstanding the good old Liberal principles stiil prevail where there is the object of carrying them' out, but to become effective they must be carried out���������r-but as some Liberals' say, not by the Victoria plan. The following taken from the Vancouver World is characteristic of the keen interest that is being taken by the Liberals in the change of leadership for .the'Conservative party. It' .".is/an excellent example of cold feet "cri "the part of the would-be political housecleaners who should first show capabilities of keeping their- own fireside a" place of admiration. "Lieut,-Col. Flick of Victoria, who proposes to depose Mr, W. J. Bowser from the leadership of-the Conservative'party on the promise to give lrim the attorney-generalship in the event of Mr. Bowser's' successor forming a "government, must surely be an innocent adventurer, into Conservative politics in,this province. It would be interesting to'recall Mr. Bowsei; to the witness stand in the "game en^ quiry���������-where his 'own -counsel has been questioning witnesses in regard to their politics���������and. find out what he thinks of Lieut.-Col. Flick and liis proposal. "The removal of Mr. Bowser from the leadership of his party- would undoubtedly help to lift political life in this province from "the. realm of personalities and pettiness. But to retain Mr. Bowser in reserve with a first mortgage on the attorney-generalship would not help the Conservative party in its proper ambition to attain power'. It would be too reminiscent of old Aesop's picture of the lion in the ass's, skin. PROFITS 1 ROM EDUCATION "The truth of the matter is that all the serious grievances of this province were incubated during that period of its history when Mr. Bowser was attorney-general of the province as nominal second in command under Sir Richard McBride, a much more astute politician than Dr. Tol- mie, whom Lieut.-Col. Flick would put forward as Mr. Bowser's, frontispiece. Sales of public lands to alien speculators, the pledging of the provincial credit for'the construction of the C. N. R. road and the P. G. E. Ry., the Kitsilano Reserve purchase? and numerous other unforgotten matters were the fruits of Mr. Bowser's attorney-generalship. "No friend of Dr. Tolmie will desire to put him in the position that the late Sir Richard occupied prior to his resignation of the premiership in favor of his former colleague." Threatened men, we know, live long. But it really seems that signs portend that a Provincial election will be held at no distant date. That being so, it will be well for the Conservative party to lie prepared for such an event. We clo not mean only preparation of the usual election machinery common to party politics in general, but we mean that the' Conservatives of tlieV-^-P'r'ovince-^'should be at one: in the matter of.a-Leader. . .. In one camikHon.; Mr. Bowser- is; welcomed with cheers and tears: iii" the other with hoots and groans. Some are for Mr. |S. F. Tolmie, others pin their -faith in, and owe allegiance to, Mr. W. W. Foster, of Vancouver. All three oILthe above men- tinned gentlemen have well served the past, and we think that either would make a leader worthy of a fol- Money devoted to the building of schools and universities, is not spent; it is invested. This is one use of public money which never fails to produce adequate and abundant returns, The Westminster Gazette, in a recent issue deals' with education in paragraphs which have the real strength of carefully stated truth, saying: "The same is' true of education. We cannot draw up a balance-sheet and say that fifty millions spent on schools adds so many hundred millions to the national income, but it is nevertheless' obvious that an instructed people will produce far'more than an ignorant people. Even though the bulk of the people remains in the class ,of manual workers, this is the':. case. Moreover, as Professor Marshall has pointed out, wc simply do not know what we mivy lose if.we derive tlie poorer children of tlie, chance to climb out of' that, class by v means'of ..the ladder of free education. The work of one industrial genius, he remarks, may well pay for the education of the whole town he was born in, and that of-some supreme geniuses will be worth far more than that. Only in rare cases- will the education of an individual not pay.for itself. "To the economic consideration we have to add-the political. This country is now a democrasy._ All uneducated democrasy is a danger, and in not fully.capable"of exercising. It is manifestly a danger because people, are entrusted with power they are not fully capable of evercising. it is impossible because absolute inequality cannot "permanently endure in a democratic nation. If we give all the' power to one class and all the chances of prosperity to another, we shall head straight for disaster. Free end efficient'education gives in.some part that equality of opportunity oh which every democrasy will in the long run insist." It should be possible for the able child of the poorest parents to reach any position to which his capacity entitles'him. If it is not possible there can be. no true democrasy in politics and education must go hahd-in-hand." Giving the children a chance is the best form of investment for public monies. Every great extension of educational facilities has' been marked by a corresponding rise in the general standard of living.

In order to obtain the best results-: from the garden, it is a Well known fact that good seed of the best varieties is one of the important features \vhich will insure certain success. In this regard many of the old standard varieties are still giving satisfactory results, but it is a good policy at this season of the year to study the records of past years, to ascertain if the crops obtained then, compare favourably with the requirements of to-day. Procrastination on the part of those intending to order seed may end in disappointment, because tlie bulk of seed orders received by seed houses are received late in the season. Those orders that are sent in early, are liable to receive exactly what is asked for, whereas, orders sent in later may receive many substitutions'. The requirements, whether general or specific, as the case maybe, will hav some influence of the choice to be made. However, it is a well known fact, and most people are well agreed upon it, that carliness, yielding ability, uniformity and quality are the chief deciding factors when making a choice of varieties for a garden, whether commercial or for home use. it is here, that discrimination has to be applied, because, there are many novelties being offered which may prove satisfactory and may be not.

There are 7,000 low school pupils', and by September there will be 1,000 more. Instead of building a new :��������� high school to relieve congestion in the present building, Mr. Gray suggests the construction of a technical school and the, transfer to this technical school from the < high "school of all manual training and domestic science work. This would relieve much of tho pressure ou the high school. The Dominion, as well as the provincial government would aid the municipality in ' financing the building of a technical school. ^���������umirnin'i Returns for the Municipal Elections THIS Al) ON THIS FENCE J'ltAIitIK MEN I5UV K A NCI I AT MATSQUI HOPE,PKLVCETO;\T BOA I) SU'UVEY l������KOOR 10SS1 N(i Major Dufrosno', who is in charge of (ho survey party at work on the Hope-Princeton highway, was in Princeton over the Christmas holidays consulting . with the local engineer, W. K. Gwyer. To the Prince- pton Star when asked as to tlnf progress made on the survey and the working conditions at their camp, Major Dufresnc, stated that the survey work had been completed on' the first six miles, and that lines had been run for a distance of five or six miles further. Nothing had been encountered that offered any difficulties in the' waj- of construction, a largo portion of tho road being on practically level land. Apart from frost bites, which the men' occasionally sustained during the cold snaps, the major said that the weather did not interfere at all with their work.

Bowser has no intention of quitting the leadership of the Conservative-party in British Columbia provincial affairs unless or until a regular convention of the party asks himsto step down to make'way for a new leader. Some Vancouver friends oKthe opposition leader /phoned him this morning to the effect that the Sun had stated that he had "expressed a willingness to give up the Provincial leadership of the Conservatives if Hon. Dr. Stevens "-could- be -induced to take over the responsibilities of that office." ��������� Mr. Bowser issued the following statement,for publication: "Mt. S. L. Howe of Vancouver will call a meeting of the provincial executive in about a 'fortnightsto arrange for a provincial Conservative convention.- It will probably be in the spring or early, summer at a place and on a date to be arranged. We hope to mfike it "even a ; greater convention than the last. ? In the meantime'I wish to deny'that I have made any arrangements withi1 anyone regarding' the leadership of the party. I have not expressed any intention of giving up the position to which I was appointed by a convention in 1919- Itis not;for_-me to make,any arrangement for a successor in any event; it will be altogether a matter -for the party assembled in "'convention to say whether they wish me to continue ot* to make way for another leader of their choice." KEEP, THE MONEY AT HOME The province is flooded with products that are made elsewhere,, mostly in the United States, and Santo Claus gladdened the kiddies with toys made in Germany, shipped via the United IS'tates. , Christmas cards I from, Winnipeg', "were "mailed by thousands in this province, while thousands of Christmas , cards made in B. C. remained unsold. Thousands of dollars . continues to. leave this province for. mail order . houses in Chicago, and mail order literature is being sent all over the province. There is even an increase of mail order marriages, for matrimonial bureaus are working this province more than' ever. "These" "agencies are in Eastern States and California. This is all wrong. Loyalty to the home town and the home province* demands trading at home. This picture reproduced from an actual pholc.qr.'iph taken in 1886 at Stony Mountain, Manitoba, shows a group of French Journalists, the first to travel over the 'Canadian Pacific Railway. Poun'dmaker, '-the rebel Indian chief, is seen in the centre of the picture. ,--.. To get first-hand knowledge of the Rio! Rebellion and the results ������������������which followed its suppression, a party of French journalists and their wives arrived at Quebac in July, 18.'-6. , Thoy were the first French journalists to visit Canada after Confederation. After spending a few rbys in the historic city they went to Montreal where they were entertained by many French-Canadian Societies. .' Leaving Montreal they travelled over the Canadian' Pacific Railway lines to Qu'Appelle, Saskatchewan, where the women oi the party re niain'ed while the journalists "jour neyed to the scenes of the battle? during the Riel . Rebel!ion. They ���������.visited Ratoche, Cut-Knixe ' Ilili. PVenchman's Butte and'other places They travelled, by .methods of-transportation used by the pioneer settlers." consisting for the mos4 part of ox-carts Returning to Manitoba, th? journalist's visited Stony .Mountain Penitentiary, where Pnundniaker. tbe noted-ieadei of a strong hand of Indian IM>els was imprisoned Pound maker .lead-the hand of Rebel? who defeated Colonel Otlei's forces at Gut-KniiY UiU. - - ��������� ��������� Ponndmaker surrendered to Colonel Middleton. on May 2G. I.S35. 14 days after the battle of Batoche. The Indian leader .was sentenced to serve three years in Stony .Mountain Penitentiary.' Several other Rebels including Riel were hanged. Whe^ Poundmaker was sentenced to prison, lie said he would rather be hanged *.han go to "that place in Manitoba/' He died before his sentence expired The French journalists ���������.bad the only' photograph .taken of them in Canada, during thvir visit to Stony- Mountain Penitentiary. Pound maker was brought from his cell and posed in the middle of the group.' Colone. Samuel Lawrence. Bedson, warden of the penitentiary, stood behind Pound- maker, holding the chain which was attached to Poundmalcer's wrist. Poundmako.r was one of the most noted and interesting prisoner? ever imprisoned at the penitentiary. He was the only prisoner who was allowed to wear hi? hair long while serving a sentence. Jr.urnaMsm and literature were not of a high standard when the French journalists visited the West. The early settler*' paid almost undivided attention to their activities h: the fieidd, ���������-.���������"' ��������� ��������� .-. ���������,���������.,'. - . The journalists gathered what data tb-^y could regarding1 journalistic achievements in Western Canada. These facts were given .'to them by .William F. Luxton, editor of the Manitoba Free Press, and the dean of newspaperdom in the-West. The Free Press was'established in 1872. and it had grown to be a. political power in Canada. It championed the cause of the Liberal party. The Nor' Wester, which was the iloneer newspaper of the West, carried the only news the settlers read- in the earlier days. It flourished for several years, and "died"' shortly after the suppression of the Rie! Rebellion. The Manitoban, and tha News Letter both had short lives. 'hey were followed bv The Metis, a French newspaper. It also met an early death. The fate of The. Metis interested the visiting'French, journalists, who secured copie.3 of it to take back to France. ��������� The journalists then went to Toronto, then'to Montreal, then to Quebec over the Canadian Pacific, Railway lines, embarking on a steamer at Quebec for 'the voyage down the" St. Lawrence River and acrosa tha Atlantic Ocean to France. , , l^mm ���������***���������-*"���������^������������������"��������� ������������������ Tirnn ni>m������������iii<pnw������������tiiiiniiTin i ��������� -^ -~ ��������� ��������� -f ��������� ���������.-������ ��������� ��������� AESOP'S ADVERTISING FABLE Once upon a Time*there lived a Merchant Prince who inserted a small ADVERTISING Card in his local paper. The World and 'His- Wives rushed to the Store and the Great Battle of Push and Take occurred. The Merchant Prince did such a Tremendous Business as' a Result of this one Small Advertisement that He was able to Retire and Spend the rest of his Life playing at Golf. That is a Fable. But it still represents some folk's ideas of advertising. ADVERTISING won't make^any man or firm rich oyer riighJr biit^if intelligently used with persistency, it will multiply customers, increase turnover, swell profits and build such good wilffor the advertiser as nothing else will.

More than a thousand blind men attended the funeral and took part in singing the hymns of tragic appropriateness, "Lead Kindly Light" and "Abide with Me, Fast Falls the Eventide." The King and Queen Alexandra were represented and beautiful royal wreaths were given as evidence of sympathetic sorrow. Many of Great Britain's notables were present to pay their tribute of love to the memory of a great good man who did so much to promote "victory over blindness." Sir Arthur was a remarkable- example of successful blindness. Mr Downie was deeply grieved at losing one who was like a personal friend, but was glad to receive tlie full report of the last sad .rites and the write-up of Sir Arthur's philanthropic life which should be an' inspiration to all holy endeavor to help tho afflicted, The annual meeting and election of officers for the Matsqui-Sumas-Ab- botsford Poultry Association was held at the Bank of Montreal chambers on Friday evening. After the financial statement had been- read, the meeting proceeded to the election oi' officers for-the ensuing year with the result that all of last year's officers were re-elected by acclamation. The president and secretary were instructed to proceed with all arrangements for the next monthly meeting at which the-. Government moving pictures are to be shown. . Some valuable cockerels are also to be raffled and in addition there will probably .be a lecture by some well-known poultry ^expert. There is every indication of a real feast of ' entertainment for all those who are interested in poultry and a large turn out is expected. The- meeting will be^ held in the G. W. V. A. rooms. The0 membership of this association is rapidly increasing and' there is every prospect of a very successful year being experienced, r ; Abbotsford -was well represented at the Provincial Poultry Exhibition recently held in Vancouver when the 'fine white Leghorn utility birds of Major J.
