The secretary of the Abbots- ford-Sumas Association was communicated with over long distance, and it appeared a surprise to him. He stated that ii* arranging the dates he had advice from the department that the two dates were vacant an a he chose them. The Matsqui secretary could not be gotten over the phone. It seems a great mistake that both these fairs should be on the same date as the districts join each other. It means the failure of one or both of them and the dates should be immediately changed for the besi interns'8 of both districts.

Inthis respect, indeed, the Dominion has been most fortunate, and it is not only a matter ' for national congratulation, but it speaks well for the s'aneness, com- monsense and general goodwill prevailing in this country, and an itidica- ��� tioh of the fair-mindedness of both employer and employee. Recently, however, the printers of Regina went on strike to enforce coin pliance with certain demands' made by them and which the employing printers felt constrained to refuse in view of the present business conditions and the steady decrease in living costs now taking place. Among the demands made by the journeyman printers was that, a 4'1-hour week should be adopted but that the "old scale of pay for 48 hours - work should be continued. Other demands were for the .adoption of certain restrictive shop rules which would havo the effect of decreasing production. One such rule was a further extension of a very vicious rule already in force���a rule which, while not benefitting the worker, imposes' a burden of expense, not on- the employers, but on the general public. It is a rule which makes a demand for the doing of positive and absolutely waste work. To explain: If a merchant inserts' an advertisement in a paper and at the same time orders say f>00 or 1,000 copies run off as a poster, the Union ��� rules prohibit the use of the same type for the double purpose. In other words, the identical job has to be set up in type twice, whereas once would, and should, suffice. Thus double cost is entailed, and the public have to pay for it. The Union is laboring under the crazy delusion that they'arc thereby creating work for printers and providing employment for a larger number of men. They forget, that as the workers constitute the great bulk of the buying public they themselves are forced to pay for this waste. As a matter of fact they are not creating more work and providing ���more employment; indeed experience has proven they are restricting both work and employment, because by reason of the increase and unneces- sar cost of work there is less done. Any process" of labor which does not produce something of value is economic waste, pure and simple The production of something for use is the only way to increase wealth, and it is' only through the increase of wealth that more employment can be provided. That is to say, wealth is production. There may be prospective wealth, enormous potential wealth, in the soil, in the mines, in the forests', and in many latent forms but such wealth is not worth so much as a brass farthing to the people of the world until labour is brought to bear and this natural wealth is' converted into things men require. And if men's energies are devoted to work which produces nothing they need, which is work merely to make work and serves no good purpose, then the source of wealth are not increased but decreased. Th'1 whole world suffers, but most of all the workers themselves. The workers of the world need lo learn the lesson that the first, requisite for. the payment, of tho good wages they demand, and have a right to receive, in that the employers make enough money to be able to pay good wages. Wealth, let it be repeated, cannot be distributed Until it is created, and whatever interferes with the creation of wealth interferes with the disf.ribhl.ion of wealth in wages as well as in profits. When Union rules interfere with the creation of wealth they interfere with the welfare of labor as much as they interfere with the welfare of capital. As a matter of fact, they interfere wih the welfare of labor a great deal more than they interfere with the welfare of capital, because about ninety per cent, of the wealth created is' distributed in wages, and capital is well content, with anything like ten per cent, of the wealth created. It should, therefore, be the intelli gent purpose, of the labor unions to meet any depressed situation in business by increasing productivity and profits. Whenever labor, by restrictive,, rules, or capital by curtailing product ion. interferes' with the material creation of wealth, it interferes with the material development of the race and with the common possession of the advantages of modern productivity as far as each restrictive act is operative. ��� There arc, says an American writer, two fundamental, facts to be recognized: First, that productivity is necessarv for permanently high wages and second, that high wages arc es scntial to general prosperity. The less the productivity, the less' there is lo be distributed in profits and wages.- That is reasonably obvious. And since the vast majority of the people of this or any other country perity depends upon the prosperity of the mass, it is equally obvious that only liberal wages will create general prosperity and the general purchasing power,- which, iir turn, mean's the prosperity of every individual and of every individual business. Therefore, let there be good wages paid for good work, and let good w0,.]{���really productive work���be given .good wages.���lOx. KCG LA VINO CONTEST KOK l!��2l- One To 15c Held At Agassi/, 1.

It may appear startling, but it is a fact that if all the insect pests ravaging our crops could be suppressed, and all the plant and tree ^diseases eradicated, and the increased revenue derived by the country thereby could be tur'ned into the Dominion Treasury, there would need to be no question of taxatio. This idea is largely substantiated by the fact set forth by the Entomologist of the Dominion Department of Agriculture that a conservative estimate'of the annual loss in Canada to field, orchard and garden crops' due to destructive insects is upwards of $200,000,000-. As our authority says "To this huge devastation must be added the enormous' annual destruction caused by forest insects, stored produce insects, etc." Upon this statement the Entomologist founds a well-sustained argument in favor of the nrotectinn of insectivorous birds, such as the prairie horned-lark, the robin, the ��ninewliiit. despised crow, the red- breasted Nuthatch, the western Manager, the Myrtle Warbler, the Chickadee, grouse, gulls, and many other kinds. In the state of Iowa it has how estimated that tree sparrows ������nniini- ly devour something like X!*"> |,i��i�� of weed seeds!

These Philanders with many of their compatriots had been driven out of Finland into North Russia when the Germans invaded their country. The "Finnish region" was formed from among these exiled Finns and rendered good service to the British force. The Legion was comma-wind by Lieut-Col. R. R J. Burton, O.R E., of Toronto, formerly of the !"th Canadian (Winnipeg) Regiment. After the Armistice most of the Legionaries were repatriated to Finland, but some Legion Details, including several refugee Finnish women and children, wore left in charge of Lieut. 'Walton who was one of the last to leave North Russia at (he Allies Evacuation of that country His chief Finnish officer under him was Oskari Tokoi, previously 'Ve first Prime Minister of Finland u ft tit* the Russian* Revolution. *> Later Liout. Wetton was sent to Hel?ing- fors, Finland, where the repatriation of the Legionaries was being carried out. Having suggested strongly co the British War Office that the remaining Legionaries who were not -,-patriatcd to Finland should b1 .Kven an opportunity to set- 't'u: ****>. Canada, Lieut. Wetton wa.������ their arrival -in England last spring. Arrangements were eventually made for the Finns lo come to Canada to work in the lumber camps, and Lieut. Wetton brought them over and took his party through to North Teniiskaming and got them satisfactorily placed at work in the bush As he predicted, these Finns who rendered good work to the British -in North Russia, and underwent sev- cral_ months' military training and discipline out there and are accustomed to work on the farm and in the wood? in their own country, arc now rapidly settling down well to their new conditions, are giving satisfaction in their work and give promise of developing into good settlers. .Some of them are hoping Infer on to take up farming work. Most of them are single men, strong, haidy typos of vigorous manhood, inured to the extremes of climate and accustomed lo hard work, They are a very good t type of settler. Some of them can speak very good English, others'.in addition to their native tongue can converse in Russian and in Swedish, whilst one of the men can speak fluently in' Finnish, English, Russian. . Swedish. Norwegian and is now learning French. Lieut. Wetton has had a varied career, having served twice1 as a volunteer in the South African War. and later writing two books on his campaign experiences.

King Edward'3 Horse" (1st. Canadian Cavalry Brigade) as a trooper, and saw considerable active service in France and Belgium. Twica wounded and recommended for a Commission, he was gazetted to tho Devonshire Regiment, and early in 1919 joined the "Finnish Legion" in North Russia. Most of his time out there he was on outpost duty with his Finns, oftentimes alone with them, and thereby learned their language. There he met Miss \Aini Kauppinen of Rovaniemi, North Pin- land, who had travelled hundreds of niilcs alone to join her two'brothera in the Legion. On learning her history���������she had .been wounded and imprisoned in the cause of her country ���������Lieut. Wetton saw that she was well cared for. Friendship between them grew apace and later matured into love. After overcoming many obstacles,. Lieut. Wetton subsequently succeeded in getting Miss Kauppinen safely to England whera their thrilling romance was climaxed by ��������� their marriage last June Mr. Oskari Tokoi being the bridegroom's best man, whilst the Finnish Legionaries formed a fitting*. "Guard of. Honor'' at the church." After the!? arrival in Canada Lieut, and Mrs. Wetton stayed for a while in the schools." ; to enter an ambulance, and rode his 'favorite horpe-, "Baldy-." -There was a vicious horse called "I-Iannibal" given to the West Virginian Army, but the iGener- aJ forbade any of his officers to ride him. as he claimed to do so would be (o risk their lives. A Captain Egan, of a r/iupany of volunteers, asked to be allowed lo have the horse, and 'break him.1 The General handed him over to Plgan with the assurance that he would break his neck. "Hannibal" became entirely tractable, and once saved the Captain's neck, when lOgan was pursued by guerillas in the mountains of" West Virginia. Horse and rider soon became very much attached' to each other. The horse upon which General Kearney rode when ho was shot at Chantilly, was forwarded with his sword to his widow by General Lee showing the kindly courtesy which5 always characterized the Confederate leader. At the battle of Chancellorsville, General Rushing of New Jersey rode a large gray horse, and "Fighting joe"' Hooker rode-a pure white steed .making him conspicuous as he galloped from.one part.of . the battlefield to the other. , General Thomas; J. (Stonewall) Jackson's favorite horse was "Little Sorrel," upon which he was .riding when he received his death wound. He. had always been very much attached to her, and she it was who followed his-funeral cortege, bearing an empty saddle. In appearance she was as raw-boned and ungainly as her master.

It is a good plan to follow your own car in a friend's occasionally and watch the-running of the wheels. Of course a wabble may or,may not be caused by axle or bearing trouble or misad- justmenl. Sometimes the wheel itself may havG warped or suffered ;a blow. in which case the job is'one: to be turned over to a competent repairman. Or the rim may have been tightened up evenly so that the-tire' is not running true with the wheel. Evidence of such a condition will soon show on the surface of the tire:1 there is ho surer way of cutting down tire mileage than a.wheel, that does not run true'. The important point, to1 watch In the:wheels and bearings is to see that they run .freely antLaro always packed with grease. The owner ought to clean and repack the bearings at' least three times a year and on those occasions lie should feel for wheel and axle shaft. REGULAK INSPECTION OF CAR SAVES TROUBLE General Ewell usually rode a sorry-looking gray named "Rifles.' No doubt he gave him that name in memory of the old company of Rifles in which Ewell had served during the Mexican War. ��������� - General Lee's "Traveller" was a land some iron-gray. General Turner Ash by had three lorses shot beneath him upon the sj'.ine day that he fell at. Port Republic He was dismounted when shot.

Regular care and inspection'of the automobile will save the motorist heaps of trouble. A simple ��������� schedule, if followed, will ensure that the car will be kept in fair running order and be ready for service without an- tnoying delays "that often occur when either owner or driver omits attending to simple matters that should receive regular attention. The following schedule Is-worth, keeping for handy reference:-' ONCE A WEEK Lubricate springs and other parts thoroughly. Inspect; oil and gasoline connections carefully. Give steering mechanism carefu: nspection. Examine the condition of the storage battery and see that it has sufficient distilled water to cover the plates. Clean out. the carburetor. Test the brakes-and have them equalized. Check up on the alignment of the wheels^ Inspect the. wheel bearings' and them looked ater if they appear to need it. OTHER PRECA UTIONS Drain anthv ash out Hie crank case after..every iiOO miles. Turn down grease cups after every 1000 miles. Jack universal points with grease after every 1000 miles'. Give differential and transmission lubrication special attention ��������� after every .1000 miles. Valves generally require grinding after every &U00 miles.

In his letter, Dr.- King said that he liad no knowledge of any promises made by the - department of public works re the paving of the road. In any case certain preliminary work had to be done such as had been carried, out this year, and the work would.probably be proceeded with next summer. The Mission City W. I. flower'show will he held on August 18th. A pre-war idea of coloring gasoline has been revived in London. The purpose is to let the motorist be sure he is buying the right grade of fuel. As far back as 1909, the Austrian government used a ping coloring matter to differentiate between free and taxed gasoline. Fuel for commercial purposes' was free of duty in those days, while a tax was placed or that used in passenger cars. The. easiest way to distinguish one from the other, when the oil was shipper; tot lies ervice stations, was to color Ihe fuel intended for passenger cai sales. By the use of cochineal, an insect dye, the strength of the original gasoline is not diminished, automotive engineers say. It is only when aniline or mineral coloring matter is used that a sediment is produced and the effectiveness of the fuel is lessened. The question is often asked us. "What do you think about a hereafter for animals?" The only answer is to say that whatever we may think we know nothing. Even .our own future is wrapped about with so much mystery that our hope of it. is a matter of faith. It does not admit of an unanswerable demonstration. Humanity seems to have clung to a belief in immortality from the earliest days of which we have record. The world's wisest and best have gone their way facing the darkness' at the close of life's day'with this hope more or less brightly burning, like a lamp with which they trusted to find the threshold of a house not made with hands'. Not a few whose names have been written high on the scroll of fame men like Butler and Agassiz, men of ;fine intellectual power and unsway- , ed by sentiment, have found nothing in philosophy or science to prevent ; their belief in a future for the ani- ; mal as well as for us.
