Scott, formerly deputy minister of agriculture in this province,is to reside in .Vngland, where he assumes the important duties under the Land Settlement Board in connection with the selection of ex-imperial service men who desire to take up land in Canada. A loan of $1000 has been made by the department of industries by the provincial cabinet to Messrs A. D'- Arcy McBride and.W. Hunger Wells, returned soldiers, for the purchase of machinery for labelling cans and packing. It is impossible to build up a town and make it of any importance without having a little music to help it along, and with this object in view the G. W. A. are now planning a band Several musicians have already be en secured, but more are wanted and Mr. J. Aitkins will be pleased to talk the matter over with any person or persons who would wish, to join the only band in the Fraser Valley. This should be helped along with as much vigor a& possible, backed by some cash for the instruments, for a iirst-class band in Abbotsford wo-uld have many an outing. \ . An athletic association ��������� has been formed for the purpose of encouraging sports, such as basket ball and indoor hockey and the old drill hall i has been secured for. .this purpose. In the summer the,, association will branch out'to. such as tennis, baseball and later ,football. The .idea is to have all round athletics so that the young men and boys will have their latent energy developed. A comitttee was appointed consisting of Clifff;Springi J. A. McGowan and A. C. Salt, the latter being named as secretary- treasurer. The meeting was held in the G. W. V. A', rooms.

The Rev. J. L. Campbell of Collihgwood officiated at the ceremony which was held at the home of Mrs. W. G. Cobley of Kitsi- lano. TRUSTEE BARRET RESIGNS The Matsqui School board at a special meeting accepted with regret the resignation of Trustee Barter, whose new farm at Peardonv'ille will prevent his taking active interest in public affairs for a time. The appointment of two new teachers was confirmed. Miss Stewart, who was at Matsqui high school until last year, when the decline in numbers necessitated a reduction in the staff, has been secured -for high school work at Bradner, and Mrs. Pattison, widowed in the war, is assistant'to Miss Forrester at Mt. Lehman. Vancouver wants to be made a free port. As it is the only city on the Pacific coast in British Columbia with a real future before it it vould be a good idea to make it a fere port if it would cheapen any line.of Imported goods to the consumer. The iioav B&nk of Hamilton at Port Hammond is now about completed and tho bank staff in honor of the occasion arranged an Impromptu dance on the nice hard wood floor, before the furniture was put in. ' ._i:���������v((;Grarid~;Forlcs "Gazette)-:-"-'"' '���������'"-"- The unanimous verdict.of ranchers as. to li.o practical' value of the lectures last week by professors of the Facultiy of Agriculture of tho British' Columbin University is a most satisfactory and encouraging feature Dean CIcnont also commented en the consistently large attendance, at 'each of the sessions held. The test of Lhe value of such lectures will come with the practical use the ranchers will make of the information thus gained. Farming like every other pursuit demands modern methods to obtain results, and a persistent admixture of "gray matter" is just as essential to success in farming as in any other enterprise. If the lectures will force the ranchers into well-directed thinking that will lead to getting out of ruts and substituting profitable for unprofitable work they will have performed a great service to the whole valley. The speakers were able to collect and present some facts concerning agriculture in the valley that were a surprise to most of those who should havo known. They also pointed on! that then������ was an inclination to wanl assistance towards obtaining somt> questionable advantage while real opportunities were being passed up They drove home the need for mixed farming and the keeping of stock and noted the fact that, although the keeping of dair- cows offered one of the most profitable resources of the farm at the present time, and that there was a ready market at itheir door, only a handful of farmers kept cows. The value of cows on a farm was far reaching and should be taken advantage of to the fullest extent. The importance of co-operation was also urged by the speakers. Farmers will never be as prosperous as they should be till they combine a- long co-operative lines for the protection of their mutual Intcrcste. This principle is becoming more recognized throughout the different farming districts'of the province. If farmers would only drop all little local rivalries and pealousics and pull together farming would be put on a stronger and better basis. The prospects'*, look bright for the berry crop this coming season, at least so far as the prices are concerned, some of the growers already signing up "at 20������ a pound, an increase on- last year One berry king, one of the largest is reported to have sold all at that price/and no doubt the berry mbnarchs'of this district will be getting a high price also.. On the north side of the river there is a very big demand for berry canes, and it is reported that the supply is.not equal to the demand. The nurseries bought the canes at 2tf and are asking 10^ for them now. At least 50 per cent more will be put in berries this year. -���������The benclv^lands south and west of Ahbotsfprd'.\-a.ce.;luat,as-good as any for raspberries',and/ja-great deal mere .acreage-'-should be' planted close <.o Abbotsford. - .1 *.' - "j _;_ ABBOTSFORD AND VANCOUVER CONNECTED BY TRAFFIC TRUCK Flndlay Will Not Bo There The annual meeting of the People's Prohibition Association will bo held on February 18 and 19, but U is not likely Flndlay will be there.

L111RARV It Id A J) Y TO AID MUNIC1PA LITIBK Arrangements have been, perfected whereby it will be possible in future for outlying municipalities tc have the advantage of making use of the- splendid selection of volumes- ir; the Vancouver city library. ' Tiie scheme is the outcome of a general plan formulated by the B. C. library association and no doubt will be taken up by other large centres of population which are able to support large libraries. Any prganied municipality in the district surrounding Vancouver, including the Fraser Valley settlements and points on th-3. main line of the C P. 11. on application to the city library and by paying t.a sum of $50 per year may obtain the loan of 100 volumes which may be echanged every three months. In addition the Vancouvjr library will be prepared to extend the same facilities to the outside readers as it does to its own readers in the way of loaning and r>:serving books specially asked for. The conditions on which the scheme will be put into operation include the provision of suitable housing and a librarian to undertake the circulation of the books and their proper care. In"the Vancouver city library there are 85,000 volumes and it is anticipated that many small municipalities will be glad to take advantage of this plan. The selections to be loaned will be of such a variety, as to interest the readers in the particular district and whenever possible will include any book3 especially requested by members. The services of tli'0 library in outlying districts Immigration'.figur-rs up to the end :)f November show that the total number of immigrants who 'entered Canada during the previous twelve .nonths was 114,7 08 of whom 5 4,- J41 came from the United Kingdom liuI '52,14 1 from the United 'Slates. For the month of November 8,074 came in as compared with 3,19 5 in N'ovemlier, 191.8. During the past jight months 91,4 30 entered, the nationality being as follows: English 30,5 19; Welsh, 523; Scotch, 8,412; Irish, 2,137; Americans, 37,721; and other countries J-i.114. Practically all the efforts of'the immigration department aro now being directed to Jie United States and Great Britain, with the main stress being laid on the former. At present the balance ot" emmigration is rather in favor of the United States! but. it is pointed out that the figures to that co.untry are artificially swoollen by, .fact that .nanyof those going over are disband *id soldiers from the United States who enlisted in the Canadian forces., The British government is now pay .ng the passage to Canada of all war .vorkers who desire to come to Can- -td.a.

A message from Cuxhaven dated October 1 stated that a strong agitation was preceeding in Heligoland for separation from Germany and union with'Great Britain, and that a plebiscite on the question was planned. The people of:the island, according to the Berliner Tagblatt, are. anxious to come again under the British rule!. Before Great Britain ceded Heligoland to Germany ��������� it was one of the most peaceful spots in . the world, a unique place to study the habits of rare sea birds, inhabit.e 1 by a tiny community untroubled by the cost of living, inasmuch as it escaped the-income tax and was well supplied with German wine and cigars, imported for the summer visitors who came for the bathing seas- son. The change which dug huge fortifications a hundred feet deep in the cliffs, covered them with gun emplacements, and girdled them with a labyrinth of walls 50 feet thick, as a means of protecting the Elbe, and providing a base for attack on England, was considered l>y the inhabitants as a doubtful blessing? and proved a severe strain on che island's zeal for the Fatherland When The war broke out the Heligoland fishermen"were all shipped off ,.o the mainland, and the island was given over to sea gulls and the German gunners.
