Published Every Friday by The Post Publishing Company A weekly Journal devoted to the interests of Abbotsford and district Advertisiing rates made Our Shibboleth���������Neither for nor agin J. A. BATES, known on application the Government . Editor and Proprietor FRIDAY, JULY 30th, 1915, We have sent some of our finest young men to the front to ���������fight our battles for us and the British Empire. This has not cost some of us even an effort, while it means much to. many. A few days ago in conversation with a man who had allowed to go his only son, he remarked, This is the time that I could make good use of-, him, but I am not grumbling, he has gone to do a very good: work. Yes, indeed a very good work; and further it is certain that many of the able-bodied should have followed his example and gone to the front to fight a nation's .battles. The ��������� same father said, Stir them up in your paper,'don't let;.those young fellows think that it is not their duty to go and fight, because it is. -. And that is where thousands more of them'should be. ' ' , .' ��������� "For a truth it is known that the Germans, our enemy, have sixteen machine guns to the British four: Realizing that there must be a slackness somewhere the people of the; country have taken upon themselves to raise money to provide guns for many more of puri men who have gone to fight; for what chance have four, guns against sixteen, no matter how brave, we expect the British and Canadians to-be���������the'bravest men who ever fought . battles could hardly be expected to win out under such conditions If the government will not or cannot provide the ..machine guns the people have virtually said, we will provide them, and thus show the government that we are so much in earnest about winning this war that-we are not afraid to dig down into our pockets ���������although many of us are short of cash, and subscribe money to buy Canada's brave boys machine guns to fight the enemy. It is much better that we should win, ten thousand times better, than that enemy should be able to prolong the war, thus causing disaster to thousands financially and death to thousands of strongest and bravest of the Empire. It is pur candid belief that the money spent in purchasing machine guns for our boys will hasten the end of the war. What do you think about it? Have you ever given it a thought? The British Press has lately devoted much space to a discussion of the position in the community of the naturalized subjects of alien birth. -. The subject is.more intricate than is generally supposed, for the highest legal authorities maintain that a naturalized subject does ;not enjoy all the rights and privileges of the British-born. :That.'is a matter which is not so.germane to present conditions in Canada as in England, where the number of Germans who have been! naturalized is very large, and their presence in the community a conspicuous danger. The exact status of the naturalized citizen is to be investigated by the courts in the action brought against Sir Edgar Speyer. Meanwhile one of the most forceful of London jounialists.John Briton, has published a comprehensive.article, on the subject. In establishing a distinction between the British-born, and the naturalized citizen he goes for precedent tp that noble passage in which the Apostle Paul laid down' a principle which has never been questioned. The context reads as follows:���������- And as they bound him with" thongs, Paul "said unto the Centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemnned? ' When the Centurion heard that he went and told the Chief Captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest for this man is a Roman. Then the Chief Captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea. And the Chief Captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born. Viewed in this light John Briton thinks that the status of naturalized subjects is one that requires strict investigation This is the view many people take,and is the view which was pressed upon the notice of the Government by a meeting of citizens which resulted in the visit of Col MacPherson, says the Victoria Week. As there has been some misunderstanding as to the character of the resolutions passed at that meeting it may be well to repeat there were two, the first asking for the internment of all alien enemies, the secPnd for an. investigation into any complaints which might be made against naturalized subjects of alien birth. The old Order-in-Couiicil, under which alien enemies could be interned only for "Cause" has been supplemented by a new order, under which the interning authorities can intern every alien enemy without question or complaint. If, there is at large a single alien enemy it is either the fault of the interning officer or of the Federal Government. If the accommodation is adequate, the former is to blame, if inadequate, -the later. No investigation" has been held on the complaints against naturalized subjects of alien birth. This is regrettable because there are some in this community who are known to be "enemies" arid there are others so loyal and so far above suspicion that it is unfair for them to remain under the shadow of a reproach because of the shortcomings of disloyalists. Meanwhile the different light in which the subject is viewed in England and in Canada is well illustrated by the concluding portion of John Briton's article, which is so impressive that it is quoted "in extenso." The British people are now aroused by the greatest war in history and the greatest danger in their experience. They begin to remember many things which they had forgotten, and one. of these things is that they belong to a nation in whose victory or defeat they are vitally concerned. In these days we are not merely "individuals" or "consumers or producers"; we are not interested merely in cheapness. We are interested in the whole community because we stand or fall togeth. All perish if the nation perish; and if the'nation lives, what matter who perishes? The nation, therefore, becomes to us of sudden and vast importance. We awake to the fact that we are British subjects, and that a nation of foreigners, whom we had; been willing to admit as British subjects, are now thirsting for our blood and plotting and working for our destruction. And there lies the value of being a nation. Because we are a nation our young men fight and die for us, and our taxpayers are. willing to pay their last shilling in the national cause. If we had been only a fortuitous concourse of atoms, if our ruling interest had really been cheapness or class grievances or such like, we should not now be able to defend ourselves at all. It is blood that counts when it comes to war. Those British will, fight best and help best who are born and. bred British. 'And what prompts them to fight and work in our cause is not political argument, about a treaty or a "scrap of paper", but their, sound British instincts. Their bodies are compact of an infinite number of memories and affections.which entwine them with their country. There is such a thing as the soul of a race or nation. It is composed of, all the wars that nation has fought; of all the sacrifices made by individuals through its history in its cause;' of all the stored, heroisms . and sufferings' arid loves and hates of that nation through ., hundreds of years of history. Of this soul the foreigner must be ignorant, and therefore it is not good for a nation to sell its birthright to. aliens for a mess of pottage. , , E. O.

T. Gussowi the Do-j minion Botanist. With the contents j of this circular every grower of the' "solanum tuberosum" would profit, by acquainting himself. It tells of the : different diseases to which the potato' Is subject and of the preventatives I and remedies that can be successfully applied. Especially does it deal with seed potatoes, a series of precautions being given that should always be taken before sowing. Instruction is also furnished on methods that should be adopted to redeem inflicted land, on the early recognition of disease, on spraying for the suppression of Colorado beetle and Late Blight, and on the storing of seed potatoes.,How to use bi-chlorlde of mercury and in what quantity is explained. Stable manure should not be used for potatoes Is the sound advice given, as it may engender a scabby crop, which can be averted by the use of fertilizers. When there is a lack of humus in the soil,' an application of crumbed peat will be found beneficial. This will also retain moisture in" light soils. Information is given, on the preparation and use of Bordeaux mixture.' The circular, which can be had by application to the Publications Branch, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, should have a wide circulation. atsqui-suma: 0 OF TRADE :v President, Chas.

It. will be-remembered that Mr. G. A. Gordon purchased considerable property hereabout and started to boom Huntingdon Townsito in 11)12. Everything went inorry as a niarriago- bell at first, eyon to having a weekly paper; but in March 1!) 1 '1 Mr. Gordon left for.his old home in Scotland and has never come back. So far as Mr: Gordon's whereabouts Is no person appears'to know. Mr. Arthur I-I. Edwards of Messrs Edwards and Morgan ol" Vancouver is the receiver: Mr. G. Cobley is building-up a fine business in the store formerly occupied by the Huntingdon Mercantile Company. Mr. Miller formerly ot* this town is reported as having a good job at Ana- cortes.

Many of the owners are purchasers in oui;' town but more of them are visitors to Sumas. An exceptionally valuable Bulletin to those interested in soil culture is No. S3, "Field' Husbandry. Summary of Results" issued by the 'Division of Field Husbandry of the Experimental Farms, and.that can.be had by application to the .Publication Branch, Department of Agriculture Ottawa. Reports are given of work carried on at the central and branch farms and stations. The results of experiments in rotation of crops furnish information of great value. These ���������experiments cover a period of eleven years and the results with advice founded thereupon are set forth in the Bulletin according' to years. Following are a few of the 'benefits given as derived from adopting a judicious system of rotation: 1. Tlie appearance of the farm is improved. ' '' 2. Every field receiving at regular intervals its fair; share of manure and cultural treatment, the entire farm is in a condition to ensure a maximum yield. 3. Cost is lowered by the saving of time due to all the work of a.kind Icing confined to one field. 4. Fewer fences are required. 6. Machinery can be more economically utilized- G. More live stoclccan be kept, thus, increasing the quantity of ' a vailable, manure. ��������� , 7. Profits and yields,are increased. 8. The farmer Is . not dependent upon a single crop.. 9. Permits qt' .a more even distribution of the season's labour. Following details of tlie rotations that are outlined as a summary of the characteristics common to all: 1. Grain fields are always seeded clown with clover, even though it.be used only as a fertilizer. ; 2. Grass and clover seedings are heavy. Increased crops of| hay and rare failures of a cater have justified them. ,. ; \i. Hoed crops form ,a large proportion of every rotation. ' An attempt to farm a small area without a hoed, crop was not successful. "Woods could not readily be kept in chock. 4. No field is left in hay for more, than two successive years. The records show that tlie second crop almost always costs more per ton. than tre first, an,d that succeeding crops are liable to be grown at a -loss. 0. Barnyard manure is preferably applied frequently in comparatively small quantities, rather than at long intervals in large quantities. ��������� Expenditure required and derivable profits are fully explained along with the values of commercial for-- tinkers and the relative virtues A BUTCHER Pork, Mutton, Jteef, Veal, Pork Sausages, Wieners and Balogna always on hand.

Despite the faot that so'.many.-'-of the farmers and producers who make it their "business,.to attend Ithe New Westminster market regularly, are now busy haying and harvesting, there was a very .large attendance at the market on, Friday morning last. There were splendid displays in all staple lines and a number of new features introduced for the inspection of the local housewives and the buyers. Probably the {big feature of the market* was the fine shipments of early apples and plums. There were at least 100 boxes of Yellow Transparent" and Duchess apples on the market and the ..entire lot was cleared away before 11; o'clock.- One Vancouver Chinaman purchased 50 boxes of Chilliwack' apples for which he paid $30. Per box the fruit brought all the way from 60 to 7 5 cents. Greengage plums in fair condition, grown by George Miller . of Ruskin brought 40(5 per crate. Some Royal George and Peach varieties, were found rather badly diseased'and they sold for 25<* a crate, not sufficient to pay the freight charges and cost of packing. . j -. Apples appeared in a new guise in the stalls, being packed in.the eastern basket with cloth gauze covering which shows plainly the quality of the fruit. This method of packing has long been in vogue in: the East and is being introduced in the West this year for the first time. The baskets found a ready sale at 35(i and G5(> apiece, according to the size HUGH McBRIDE General Blacksmith Anil Horseshoer Carriage "and Repair Work of all Kinds Automobile Repair Work Satisfaction Guaranteed Next to Alexandria Hotel HUNTINGDON B. C. In other fruits the market was not so good. Raspberries and other small' fruits are practically over fort shis season. There were small showings of red and black currants and a few blackberries sold at last week's quotations Wholesale meats were much scarcer than usual and what did appear was soon snapped up by the wholesalers and hurried to the refrigerator. Meat carcasses left standing on the market soon assumed a black ap- pearance which militated against its sealing properties. Chickens showed as strongly as ever. There were more crates, than usual, if anything, and the chicken mart was the busiest section of the square all morning. Although prices are not nearly so poud as earlier in the year the' supply of fowl which every week conies to the city is still undiminished in column apparently, and the local chicken experts have long since quit trying to figure where the birds come from. ��������� Eggs retailed at 30 cents and wholesaled around at 26������jf There was a fair demand for crated eggs although the retail purchasers fell off slightly.
