For two years a war has been in pro- gross, thai, has touched the hearts and Che homes of nearly every family in the whole of the, British Empire. Many of our bravest sons-have fallen at the front defending the fight that Britain, France, Russia and Italy have taken up on the part of little Belgium.-.Many a mother mourns a'departed husband, son or it.may be a father (has fallen, all for the cause of freedom of the little nations, who although smaU have their rights, Remember how we thought, not so very long ago that it would be impossible, to have any more'large wars���������that we were getting so civilized that we would fight no more; little we knew the heart .of the Kaiser and his peop'le, the Huns. How they had been preparing for'over forty years quietly, it is. true, but nevertheless preparing, with a definite purpose in view. The; opportunity to come at the first possible excuse. The excuse came and today the Kaiser and his Hun army are the. most de- . spised of the human ..race. Whi.-e celebrating the second anniversary of thee, war and we are enjoying that quaint old custom of "toasting" or "drinking to" our friends���������handed down to us from the "bluff,'honest, merry days of Britain's rollicking youth of our ancestors. And it is not only friends we can "drink to." What about a toast for the Kaiser and his murderous myrmidons? Do you not think it would be quite in order, that we invite his Satanic Majesty to paste it up in his Potsdam scrap-book, side by side aJll previous messages "with which it should be read" as the lawyers say. Here we are then. Let us wish the Kaiser health enough to suffer the full measure of just punishment for his most atrocious misdeeds. Wish him long life enough to feel the whips of the worst of remorse and the scorpions of. self-des- pisal. Wish him leisure enough' to listen to the burning taunts of conscience. Wish, him imagination enough to cal'l up the shades of his victims in the watches of the darkest night; and to summon to his restless couch the accusing spirit qf. Nurse Cavell, and the thousands of other wronged women and mothers Wish him friends enough to tell him the bitterest truth; and then a short respite���������a brief opportunity for repentance���������ere he seeks at the Bar of God the mercy he shall never find at the hands of Men. With the name of Wiliam of Hohenzollern in your toast couple the name of the Devi1!. Drink, sitting, to their joint confusion. And may the Kaiser hear the clinking of the glasses above the roaring of the guns;���������our guns. , Perhaps someone will think of a fitting toast for the Crown Prince. We could hardly grow enthusiast ic over tho market here or Edmonton of the past week, lddmonton had two cars of berries besides express stuff and prices ruled very low. Calgary was heavy with what The 0. U. G, Man had over Sunday in cold storage and the car of American berries P. & S. got in, they could not have got over express and duty out of if. But no tears need bo shed over their loss, as there were plenty of Canadian berries without bringing these in. Rasps sold well; but we could not maintain a three dollar price; as people bought two for twenty-five cent strawberries in prefer- ���������encc to fifteen, cent ras,ps, $2.r>0 could easily have been held all week had The A'cme Company not made.a. $2.2,5 price Friday, and took orders for straight $2 for Saturday. The Acme did not have great c-uantity on Friday and very- few on ;Saturday but it causc-.T-o.ui' customers to do a 'lot of kicking, and complaining that we werc.holding them up. We have always considered it our duty to get every cent the-" market would pay for lii-nor slr'ppers and give best service we were capable of and it hurt ua to drop.to $2.2") when the market could eas-iily have been held to $2.r/0. The 0. U. G. Man had a car of C res tons come in Thursday, a very considerable portion is 'in cold storage for Monday sale, so prices will likely be low on ��������� strawberries the foro part of tho week. The demand is about, over for them. People, want rasps now. Tho demand for black currants is very light and those who can will do better to send to a jam factory Red currants have sold but only at a low price. VERNON FRUIT CO., LTD.

Meeting Held First Monday of Each Month Write the secretary regarding manufacturing sites with unexcelled shipping facilities and cheap power or information regarding the farm and fruit lands of U the district, and industries already established,6V Jj\ &&=��������� Today the prudent farmer hardly dreams of planting seed grain without testing it. He realizes there is on deposit in the Bank of Nature a huge sum of money, much of which may be his if elementary rules are followed in seeding and cultivating. The average dairyman with twenty cows may reeasonably expect as his share of nature's hoard a yearly income of two thousand dollars if the resultant crops are marketed through suitable cows. But can the unselected, untested cow be expected to take a prominent part in that annual distribution of nature's wealth' She may be fed and cared for to the best of her owner's ability, but there seems to be a loose end if he does not turn round and test her, determne her-ability to turn the vast deposits in nature's bank into round nine thousand pounds of milk and leave a clear profit if milk fetches one- twenty per hundred. Just guessing at seed vitality and power to grow is queer work; guessing at a cow's production and profit is risky and unnecesary. It is very risky because many a dairyman is deceived'without the use of scales and test quite unnecessary because the dairy divison at Ottawa supplies free of charge milk record forms. An elderly lady on her first way trip * noticed the ��������� comuni- catioh cord overhead, and was told by a mischievous boy that it was to ring when she wanted anything to eat. Shortly afterwards the old 'lady reached up with her umbrella and gave it a vigorous pull. The whstle sounded, the breaks were put together sharply in the drivers efforts to stop. Presently the Con came .rushing along and asked "Who pulled the cord?" "I did" replied the old lady meekly. "Well, what do you want?" snapped the official impatiently. "You may bring hie some ham sandwiches and a cup of tea if you will." ��������� It is not recorded what the Con said or did and a veil is drawn over the boy.

In the morning we moved still further'forward and came under a still more stinging artillery fire and some rifle fire. In open daylight that same morning we were "told to counter attack. It was glorious the way the boys went over the parapet to face' almost certain death. The shells were hurtling against the trench flattening down at intervals, the air was ful of screaming shrapnel and the smoke from the explosions was choking, but at' a given signal .and apparently undaunted the boys clambered on to the parapet raised a 'lusty cheer and started out. The enemey observer the move and a hail of machine gun and rifle bullets met our boys and the shrapnel poured upon them. The attack was' successful from a tactical poini but did not oust the enemy. We were allowed a few days rest after which we returned to take up an important position! in the real come-back stunt. Our duty was to make a feint attack to draw from those making the main thrust.
