He will talk the same line of co operation as did Sapiro with a view of getting the growers oi the Fraser purpose of marketing ley is becoming noted on the Prairie markets. It is hoped that all have read the speech of Sapiro, which was published in this paper last week, copied from the Vancouver Sun will gather and hear what this expert has to sa/. it was thought at first that the growers of the Valley would have had the pleasure of listening to Sapiro himself but as that.appears to be impossible, the next best thing is to have his partner in the business. . Remember it is at Mk-sion City in the afternoon and Chilliwack in the evening... A boy should be taught to work with h$s hands when he is iyoung and he should b-3 kept at it as long as he is a boy. This is part, of his education. The other part he will get in the schools. Some educationists are trying to mix these two branches, but there are qute as many leaders who think that these Efforts cannot succeed. The world is coming back to the old idea that our leaders in every department of life must have a thorough high ccr-ool education at least. Trades and even pro-: fessions cannot be learned in any other way than by working al them.. Theories should be mastured first and technical knowledge acquired, but practise alone will give perfection. It ir,. .therefore, vastly important1 that every boy should get a decent education before he is grown up, and that he should be taught to work with his hands and acquire persistence, in the completion of a task before he leaves the home of his parents. Some men take hold of themselves and make themselvep work, whilst others are alert and active all the time. It is all a matter of heart action, or else the exercise of a strong will. The man with a strong heart can keep going all the time quite, easily, the man who has,not this priceless possession has to force himself to keep at. it.. If he lack the 'will power also he will be a failure. A great many men and some wttmen are afflicted with laziness. A lazy man is some use jn society. He can ornament, n, bench or a window, sill, but a lazy woman has no usefui place in society whatever. Plagiarism Is Thievery��������� '.A Plagiarist'is a person who purloins words, writings or ideas, and is in plain, unadorned English, a literary thief. Very often perhaps a writer or journalist is accused of stealing other people's writings or ideas when he is not. guilty. We have in mind the editor of a certain Alberta weekly newspaper who. however, is guilty, and who practises the theft of other newspapers'articles so frequently that he apparently has convinced himself that he has a perfect right to do so. He is wrong. No newspaper in good standing copies editorials from contemporaries without crediting them and to. be guilty of so doing is a decided breach of professional etiquette. The editor to whom we have reference was last year an officer of the Weekly Newspaper Association executive. Not only has he copied; from the editorial columns of the Camrose Canadian, but has, we believe, violated the accepted rules of journalism with other papers as well. The filching of writing may not sound serious, but it was this very thing that brought about the copyrighting of books in order to protect authors in publishing their works exclusively of all other persons, and to prevent them being used unless paid for. We have no quarrel with the transgressing-editor,, but in future will expect him to. either write his own editorials or else give the paper he copies from due credit.���������Ex; COUNTRY vs. CITY "The life of the country is being drained of its manhood and the cities are becoming congested." This was one of the many true and pointed remarks of the ReVi -A. F. Munro in a most convincing and intensely interesting address on rural depopulation, delivered before the Cowichan Women's Insitute recently. Mr. Munros aid that he was able to take a bird's eye view of this most difficult problem of .. this age, that is, tho steady decline of rural population. It was a serious prop- lem affecting all nations. He spoke of the census' figures of Great Britain and took, as an example, the six northern counties of Scotland, in which the average decrease In- rural population was nine per cent. If the present decline went on at that rate there would bo no oue living in those particular parts In ninety years. The same problem was being faced by the United States. In 1880 tho rural population in the State* was seventy per cent.; in 1890, 63.09 per cent.; in 1900, r-9.0f> per cent; and in 1910, f>3.07 per cent. In some parts of the States the decline was even more rapid. Canada, though essentially an agricultural conutry, shows the same tendency. From 1901-1911 the urban population had increased (12 per cent, and the rural population, 16.07 per cent. These figures were all taken from the 1910 census, as sta- I tistlca from the recent census had not yet been published. - " A Huron Example Speaking of rural surveys that had been made, Mr. Munros aid that an example of this depopulation was seen in a small place, Beverley, in the county of Huron. ��������� In 18 60 there were fourteen families living there, a total of 192 persons, engaged in agricultural ar.d 1,200 acres under cultivation. In 1916 there were three families only, with eighteen persons engaged in agriculture and 185 acrea under cultivation. The young life in the county of Huron, girls and boys under twenty, hud decreased from 16,500 to 6,818 in a few years. A noticeable feature in the United States was the increase of rented farms. From 1890 to 1910 there was an Increase of 2f> per ><*nf. to 37 per cent. In England the leases were of much greater length, often up to 21 years. In America the lease is of short duration, two, three or five years. Hence the tenant feels he has no real interest in the farm except to get out of it all the money he can,. There* were two evils in the train of this rural depopulation. The country is known as the. best true nurse of manhood. The best type, both physically and mentnlly is raised in tho country. Our manhood is affected by the exodus of the young people to the cities The other evil is that the food supply of the world Is going to be seriously decreased unless this--depopulation atops. Cause of Exodus What are the causes? This is an interesting question that affects people in this district particularly. What is it that attracts young people to the cities? An ardent student of psychology says that it is natural for men io desire to live together. ..:The bigger a city, the greater i*,s attracting flower. Telephones, railways, newspapers and other modern Inventions are all tending to bring the city nearer the country. There is also an .economic reason. Agriculture is by far the most important of all industries. There is more capital invested in farming than in any other industry, yet farming is the'"Cinderella" among industries. The farmer works the hardest and longest hours,and yet gets' poorer, returns. The city people think fanners make money "hand-over fist." This delusion should not exist. Anybody who studios this question knows this Is not true. In-the United States one third ofi (he total industrial product is farming and 50 per cent.-.of their population aro engaged in farming. -Yet, only one fifth of the national gain 'toes into their pockets. The city iis drawing its gain's"from the country in the high \tariff.s'. freight .-���������harges, interest, rents and otherwise. Another cause is the impoverished social life in the country. This does not apply to this district, but more particularly to the prairies and oth- \-r Isolated spots. , The cry Is always'"There is more to do in Ihe tily." This is an age of excitement. How To Prevent It What can bo done to prevent this j'xodus? Tho answer lies with the people themselves. It has to be tackled by everyone. It is said that, man Is* carried away by a stream of influence over which he has no eom.ro*. Man is his own destiny. One thing' that will help in this mat:.er is the application of science to the agricultural industry. District representative system is an example. Co-operation must ai so be practised. Mi*: Munro said that Denmark was a living example of ���������.his. She js a model to all the ��������� world in co-operation. The farmer lis strongly individualistic and independent, but he must be educated. Every effort should be made to develop the social life of the country. The Women's Institute probably owes its inception to this need. School consolidation is another factor to make living in the -country more tolerable. It will play a big part in country life. There must also be developed in the rural mind a. deeper and higher intellectual and spiritual life. . - v ���������. ' Denmark' is' the one place in the world where the rural population is Increasing. Its success is largely due to the high schools, which they have for men and women from the ages of eighteen to twenty-five. Here they are brought in touch with intellectual men. History, in its broadest sense, is the chief subject. Music and gymnastics are taught. The object is to broaden the lif-i of the people and to give them inspiration. This Illustrates how, in order to solve the rural problem, rur������ al life must be enriched, so that farmers may be taught to make their farms pay better; so that social life may be more highly developed; and so that capacities for higher kinds of enjoyment may be developed. Danish children are brought up to find then- gratification and satisfaction in country life. ' Keeping Them There This problem is not a simple one. It cannot be settled by-isolating it from other facts. Anything that can tend to rais'e^ the social life of the country, to broaden the farmer's horizon, and make him a better citizen, is going to help to solve this problem. It .is not so much a problem of "Back to the land" as "Keep them on the land." We can all help to solve this problem. The Women's Institutes, the farmers' organizations' have one of their most important fields of work ahead of them in this matter���������-one of-vital importance, to this generation and to the generation to come. Mr. Munro was given very hearty applause at the conclusion of his address, which, his auditors felt, had thrown a much broader light on the possibilities of Women's Institute activities .

T������R14SII>R\T THORNTON'S SPECIAL Some Canadian newspapers have been critical of late of ��������� what they term the "luxurious" manner in which the new President of Canadian National Railways, Sir Henry Thornton, and the leading officials oi the lines rather hurried, inspection of tho physical plant of Canada's publicly owned and controlled railways..Such criticisms, when honestly offered, originate in the conviction that waste does not belong in any plan to reduce deficits on a publicly owned enterprise. The fact, is. all capable officers of a railway believe that waste is inexcusable under any condition, and govern themselves accordingly. Were critical newspapers aware of all the facts connected with an inspection over railways, under circumstances such as those ruling the continent- wide journeys of the new C. N. R. head, it is safe to say that no criticism would be offered at all. President; Thornton is.new to the country as well as to the National Lines. He has been entrusted wi^h a really big job of welding threb groups of lines and three groups of employees into one. system of 22,- 000 miles, having more than 100,- 000" workers on the payrolls. He has to pick his officials under his direction, choose the centres and define the limits where me,ii with authority are. to be located. To him falls the duty of determining what the service ought to be, in all parts of Canada, and his appraisal must be made of tho conditions of roadbed, bridges, stations and of all the property and equipment the road has available to furnish such a service. Reasoning men know that if he journeyed over the lines alone, his work would likely be futile. He would be observing conditions without having an understanding'of why they should be so. Any decisions he might make would probably be altered when he secured the governing facts on return to Headquarters. Moreover, such a trip would be more in the nature of a "leave-of-obsence" +,han an official inspection. And rnon vit.li the capacity for work Sir Henry Thornton evidences, are not prone to anything but. work. Officers' on the National Lines are discovering that their new head gets through a tremendous amount of work in a day. SELL SHOUT TERM BONDS Alex* S.

Traffic and Credit Assn. the Domin- ion Fruit Branch, and the Canadian" Horticultural Council be, and arc hereby urged, to use every endeavour to arrange for a cheap and plentiful supply of barnyard manure from thc- Calgary stockyards at a cost for loading and transportation of $3 per ton to B. C. points or as near that figure as possible.1 Whereas the express rates on berries from Fraser Valley points to Calgary in car'lots is-$2.40 per lvO lbs. and in l.c.l. $2.20 per 100 lbs.: and, Whereas the difference is not. sufficient to cover iceing and loading charges borne by the shippers, and results in car lot shippers being at greater expense than l.c.l. shippers; and, Whereas the express companies are saved the cost of handling entirely and protected by car load shipments accepted as shipper's load and count from-..shortage claims;---. ' Be it therefore resolved, that the B. C. Fruit Growers' Association, the B. C. Traffic and Credit Associa tion, the Dominion Fruit Commission, and the Canadian Horticultural Council be requested to use every endeavor to have car lot rates to prairie points reduced and a favorable through rate arranged to Fort William and Port Arthur for U. C. berries. Whereas there is an evident tendency on the part of many fruit growers to forget the principles' of Cooperation and concentrate on side issues to the prejudice of Co-operation; and, Whereas it is therefore vitally necessary that the fundamental principles of Co-operation should be restated 100 per cent, co-operation may be restored; Be it now resolved that this convention prepares an itinerary for the services of Mr. Aaron Sapiro for submission to (he Provincial Minister of Agriculture with tho request that Mr Sapiro be retained to speak on such itinerary at the earliest possible, moment. Whereas the acreage planted in rhubarb makes it essential to obtain the widest distribution for this commodity; and, wereas this commodity in car lots frequently overloads the market in cities and is hopelessly in exceos of the market requirements for smaller towns such.as Yorkton, Souris, etc; and, Whereas to prevent this condition it is necessary to load mixed cars v ".tetanies and rhubarb which is penalized by a minimum weight of 30,- 000 lbs.'prior .to June 1st us against xthe 24,000 lbs. minimum weight, in force for straight cars of rhubarb by freight movement from April 1st to July 3.1st. Be it now resolved that tho B. C. Fruit Growers' Association, the B. C. Traffic and Credit Association, the Dominion Fruit Commissioner, and the Canadian Horticultural Council be urged to use every endeavor to have the minimum weight on mixed carloads of rhubarb and vegetables reduced from 30.000 lbs. to 24,000 lbs. from April 1st to July 31st. Whereas the production of berries in British Columbia lias reached."-.the point where it is urgently necessary to obtain ihe widest possible distribution; and, Whereas lower minimum carload weights would enable car loads, to bu placed profitably in smaller towns than can at present, bo reached either by whole or part/cars, enable B. C. to compote on more equal terms with if.S.A. berries; Be It'therefore resolved that the B..C. Fruit Grower*' Association, (.lie' B. C. Traffic and Credit Association, the Dominion Fruit Commis- .jioner and the Canadian Horti6ul- tural Council be urged to use every endeavor to have the, minimum express car load weights reduced to the same weights allowed by U.S. railroads,'viz., ' .15.000 lbs., for cars under 30 ft...and 17.,000' tor cars over 3 6 ft. ,,J,,' Whereas Fruit Growers produce a staple article for common consumption, very, necessary to tho health and happiness of the people at large, are not in a speculative business, and do not demand excessive prices but such'as' will enable them to pay expenses, comfortably provide, for theii families, and contribute'to the common w������'il; - ' . ' And .whereas' it has been found that, in order to market'their fruit so as to obtain a reasonable price it is necessary to co-operate' and protect one another for the common advantage; . And.whereas except this corporation is entered into by.practically all of the growers, a small minqrity^msy wreck the prosperity "of. all;' ' *''"��������� : Therefore be it resolved:-Thai we express our determination, to stand by the principles of co-operation and to do everything possible to .'make it a success. '' Whereas the present system .of-assessment and taxation of orchard trees is unjust and iniquitous, especially so in view of the fact,that during the past two seasons' orchards have in many'"cases proved to be a liability instead of an ��������� asset, there- lore we, as fruitgrowers, strongly protest against the' continuance of this tax. Resolved, that on account of the damage done to fruit- trees by grouse in recent years, that fruit growers be permitted to kill 'them when found doing damage in orchards. Resolved, that the. government be requested to have no closed season for bears; also that it be made per- ���������missable in settled districts for owners or their authorized agents, with an ordinary or farmer's licence, to shoot bears. Whereas it is the opinion of this Association that the Dominion Government Exerimental. Farms and Stations have rendered valuable service to the Dominion by promoting the successful pursuit of the different branches of farming, and have been a very profitable investment, of tho taxpayers; and. Whereas the benefit from much of the experimentation and demonstration is confined to district with somewhat similiar. conditions of soil and climate to those of the Experimental Farms; and, Whereas the district of Southwest Kootenay has a very large area of land suitable for cultivation, and a climate favourable for fruit growing as well as other branches of farming; and Whereas the problems affecting! the various branches of agriculture in this district are not identical with those of any district in the province where experimental stations are already established. .' Therefore be it resolved, that the Dominion Government be asked to establish an Experimental Station at a point in South-West Kootenay with a position and conditions that will tend to make its work valuable to the whole district. Whereas tho present clause in the Horticultural Act regarding compulsory spraying now requires a petition signed by at least 80 per cent. of the fruit growers in the district before such compulsory spraying can be made effective, this Association recommends that this clause b? changed to read, "Eigthy per cent, of the orchard acreage" instead of "Eigthy per cent, of the growers." That the B.C.F.A. be asked to go into the question of the ratepay- ment of the governnu-nt loans in the Water Districts with p view to obtaining relief in the way of exten- grain that will put us on an equal footing with other, provinces, and thus lend their assistance for the advancement of the Fruit industry of B. C. Whereas the Sales Tax has recently been removed from fertilizer on the ground that this is a vital element in the production and raising of the quality of food, and Wheras the boxes and crates are of equal Importance in delive'ring these food products to the market in first class .condition, and in maintaining the quality thereof;. Therefore be it resolved that the B. C. Fruit Growers' Association, the B. C. Traffic and Credit Association, the Dominion Fruit Commissioner, and the Canadian Horticultural Council'be, and are hereby requested to use every endeavor to have the sales tax on boxes and crates' for packing fruit removed as soon.as possible. Matsqui Council Starts New Year \eion of time of repayment, owing to the dire distress of the.fruit industry at <he. present time.. Whereas the Small Fruit Growers of Vancouver.are greatly handicapped in shipping car lots of fruit to the prairie owing to it being classified as.ordinary freight until it reaches Vancouver, at an-average cost cf $10 per car; Therefore be It resolved that this Association should use ail the.,means in Its .power to. impress upon the Dominion Express Company the great* need and, importance of 'encouraging this growing industry by granting a through express rate froin point of shipment. Resolved, that the reduced rates on express' shipments of fruit bo extended. ' Whoreas In view, of the py'cseui demoralized marketing conditions existing throughout Western Canada, we, the members of the B.C.F.G.A., would recommend to the annual convention that the strongest possible representation be made to the Board of Railway Commissioners for cheaper freight and express rates, and would suggest that this Association act in conjunction with the Provincial Government who, through Premier Oliver, have arranged for a hearing at Ottawa the latter part of the present month. ��������� Resolved that we express our appreciation of the Provincial Govern- ment.and . Legislature , in* pressing' upon the Dominion Government the necessity of putting into force-early in,the season;measures to prevent^.he dumping of* fruit from outside on our home, markets, and we urge that this matter be kept before the Dominion authorities in due season this year. Whereas the operation of the Anti-dumping Clause of the Tariff Act has been unsatisfactory during 1922, due largely to the length of time required to put it in force under the jurisdiction of the Gov.-Geu- eral in Council. Therefore be it resolved, that the Dominion Govt, be approachfled and asked to place the operation and en- LANGLEY PRAIRIE, Jan. 22. forcement of the Anti-Dumping reg- The postponed game of the senn- ulations in the hands of the Minis- finals for the.possession of the Pack- ter q?

C. fruit to the Imperial Fruit Show in England are greatly this the great distance, of this province from' England, and consequently heavy cost of transportation of exhibition fruit; And whereas the B. C. Growers have reason to feel that they'have in the past demonstrated the superiority of their fruit! and undertaken entire expense of their exhibits, and do record highest honours in the classes hitherto entered tor, and feel still, greater honours would come to this province if a combined exhibit was made by the province as a whole instead of by the individual, hereto- fore; and, Whereas the Ontario government have stood behind their growers by bearing a share of the cost of, making exhibits by their growers; Therefore be it resolved that this convention request the support of the Provincial Government to make a senior amateur football league, which was to have been played on Saturday aftenoon, was again called off on account of one of * the teams not being able to field a representative eleven. The winners of this game are to meet Clayburn in the finals for this trophy. The league standing is as follows: Team. ' W. L.

Hospital; the retiring president, Mrs. H. Fraser, gave the*"following splendid report-of the work of the past year. "In presenting''this first amuil report of j the Women's Auxiliary of the Matsqui-Sumas-Abbotsford Hospital, we are grateful to record a year of very successful activity." .Wo have a membership of eighty, and during the year held ten regular and two special meetings with an average attendance of nineteen. "Our membership is far too small and we earnestly solicit the co-operation of the many women in ou> vicinity and district, whom we would , gladly welcome as members, which membership requires only the payment of the small annual fee of one dollar. The object of the association is to forward the interests of the hospital in any way considered advisable by the auxiliary. The W. A. of the M. S.' A. Hospital was organized on November 1st, 1921 and embodied in this report are. the twt> months of the year 1021. Our first annual bazaar on December 15th, when approximately $14 00.00 ��������� was made 'speaks very we'll for the generosity of the . Western; people, and the untiring efforts of the convenor of the bazaar, Mrs J. L. Preston. The ladies of the auxiliary at the beginning undertook to furnish the hospital and are deeply grateful to the following individuals and organizations who have assisted so liberally; Mrs; J. C. Tretheway who furnish ed a ward; Mr. S. D. Tretheway who furnished a ward; the Masonic Order, the G. W. V. A. who each furnished a ward also; the W. A. of St. Matthews Church, '-who gave a refrigerator; the Ladies' .Aid "of the Presbyterian Church, the stretchov: Dr. T. A. Swift, the operating table, and the Mt. Lehman ladies $10.00 cash. Donations were also received from the proceeds of whist driven given by the ladies of Huntingdon, Clayburn, Matsqui and Abbotsford The report of the sum realized from these entertainments as well as the annual ball of the auxiliary given in May will be embodied in the financial report. The M.-S.-A. Hospital was officially opened on April 8th, 1922 and was a day long to be remembered in this district. Mr. R. L.

E. Smith. M. P P., Hon. E. D. Barrow, Minister of Agriculture; and Hon. John Oliver, Premier of B. C. The auxiliary solicited a pantry shower in connection with the hospital opening. Members and visitors were entertained at a sumptuous repast in the, Masonic ���������Hall.by the A. F.and A. M. Lodge of Abbotsford. After the meal, the usual toast's,, speeches and votes of thanks passed to the guests and hosts alike. As the auxiliary is entitled to.placing two members on the Board of the Hospital; Mrs. Wilson of Clayburn, and Mrs. H. Eraser of Abbotsford were elected to that office, and Mrs. Alex McPhee was' chosen to vote for the auxiliary at.the annual meeting of the Board. The Board of Directors have been very fortunate indeed in the choice of their staff, viz., Miss Campbell, matron, Miss Levy, Miss Spencer, and Miss Hayden. housekeeper. Patients who have received care in the hospital all bear testimony 1.0 the courteous, kind treatment motcd out to them by the nurses in charge. The committee appointed ;at tho beginning of the'year" have'all done tlioir work very nobly, as will be seen by the report sent in and the amount of work accomplished. Of especial assistance to the auxiliary was the purchasing committee, to which the following ladies gave their aid, Mrs. Preston (whose resignation was reluctantly accepted), Mrs. R. L. McCulloch being appointed as convenor in her place; Mrs. Court- man, and Mrs. McMenemy. At a meeting held on May 17th, the purchasing committee was thank-1 ed for their services and dissolved; and Miss Campbell was authorized to the of our takin.*? dance to purchase any necessary articles for the hospital and present the bills at each meeting. A large amount of valuable work was also done by the sewing committee which was cm- prised of Mrs. Swift, Mrs King, Mis'. McMenemy, Mrs. McCulloch and Mrs. Barrett. The flower committee was also given a hearty vote of thanks for the splendid work achieved. The second annual bazaar of the auxiliary was held in the theatre on Friday, November 24thj and under direction of the convenor, Mrs. T-I. Fraser, and her' worthy committees, ���������was a. huge success; the net receipts being .f7 7 9.00 the expenses for same were '$34.50 not including the music for the dance. The auxiliary are grateful W. B. A. of the Maccabees town for the help given in full charge of the Bazaar simper served in the Harrop Hall, and also to the' local Masonic Lodire' who assumed full charge of the ��������� bazaar dance given in the Alexandria. Hall, and 'relieved the auxiliary of all responsibility connected with same. At the Xmas season, the hospital staff made special efforts to make it pleasant for the patients, and the wards were very prettily decorated, the Christmas , tree was beautiful, and everything possible done for their enjoyment. The outlook for the year upon which we are entering portends a r-toady advance, and as president of this society I take this opportunity to thank all members of this auxiliary who helped to make our meetings pleasant ..and...harmonious, and for their assistance generally; and would ask from them the same ^en- emus support for the officers of 1923 as eiven to those of the past year. The total receipts of 1932 and two months of 1921 were, $3.- 403.17. expenditures $2497.95 leaving a balance of $905.22."
