There is no town with the advantages that Abbotsford can boast of,-and as yet undeveloped. It is the duty of every resident of. the town to do his little, part in bringing Abbotsford prominently before the public, thus presenting an united and solid boost to the people w&o pass our way. Situated on a direct line of travel to the'east'south .and west many people pass thhrough tlie town and. admire its beautiful advantages from a business point of view", that few of us know nothing of at the time. But with a view of having these- people remain" in the town for a short time and be comfortably housed and cared for properly, Mine Host Henderson has been rennovating the Abbotsford Hotel from top to cellar, and has added a new office and sample room to the "present building by.taking out J several of the partitions and putting executive in a fine-large window in the front He has alsohad "the yard to the sou^th , of. the hotel fixed up- for, the'-accom-; modation of the a'utom'qbUes,J .'.ian"d(. now with 'SpWrbw'^"Bowser*' "there" is no reason whatever for 'the auto men not to stop at Abbotsford on the way east, nirth, south, or western tour.

Mission City "via hand car route, where a new lodge was instituted that evening. The party returned to town early in the morning and stated that though their stay in Mission City was a brief one they enjoyed themselves thoroughly." THE CYNIC REMARKS 'BOOST OR BEAT IT. A cynic was heard to remark that some of the customs of the present day were very strange���������for example Mothers Day. He went on 'to remark that there never was-a man born ancl received a mother's care but who- thought that mother one of the sweetest and dearest women who ever lived. And having known a mother's care, very few men ever forgot that mother's loving care, probably remembering it even-in the midst of the busiest day of" his life and at the most unexpected times,: but there : are some people who would have us remember and revere mother only once a year. This was assuming too much on the part of the people who undertook to set apart a day���������a Sunday to be called Mothers' Day, as to all good men no day passed but that mother's influence had its refining touch. No need, says, the cynic, to have any particular day to be known as Mothers Day. ,���������'��������� ��������� . It takes a good man to print a "poster" so it can be read. A certain booster club recently organized, at the last meeting decided to get rid of the fellows who stick their nose in other peoples' business instead of minding their own, or always starting somethingg that-would not help the town along; and the following was the result of their evenings deliberation and very serious thought: READ IT Whereas there is an individual whom we have all met, an individual of both sexes, who for some reason cannot see that he cannot or will not praise the beauties of his home town accept its real and fancied advantages cheerfully, recognizing in them a manifestation of the eternal law of compensation or balance, has no moral right to remain a' barnacle on the community, but should purchase a long and one way ticket to nobody gives-a-bean-where, and Whereas, that hollow-faced, lantern-jawed swing-tongued individual should be made to know if possible where he stands in the affections of the people of his town, therefore be Resolved, by the Booster Club of Boosterville that, to the vocabulary of the North-West be v added the phrase: "Boost, or Beat it!" LADIES ENJOY PLEASANT AFTERNOON At the invitation of (Rev.) Mrs. Campbell the Women's Auxiliary of St. Matthews church and the Ladies Aid of the Presbyterian church met at the manse to enjoy a social evening last week. The afternoon was spent, in social conversation and in music. . Mrs. Hill-Tout presided at the piano. Refreshments were served by the hostess. Mrs. J. F.

The secretary shall give two days notice of such meeting to all members of the executive. 13.

The executive council may p-- pare for..p-*bentat'rj. in its owr- nj-me-a fepiv^erta'ion or petition upon any subject, provided that before such::'r<������i>rose:itation or petition be forwarded to the party to whom it is proposed to address tho same the secretaiy shall submit such representation or petition upon any subject providing that before such representation or: petition be forwarded to the party to whom h. *o proposed to address the samei the secrt-jv ary shall submit such representation or petition to each of the absentee members of the executive and be but in such cases, the decision of the FOREST BRANCH GEGLVS CAMPAIGN AGAINST FIRES A.part of the cummer campaign convention shall be referred to the just' begun by the forest branch of local boards for ratification. 5.' - Copies of resolutions and a- meridments must be in the hands of the secretary, before the same are put from the chair. 6; Movers of resolutions and a- mendments may not speak for more than ten minutes, and except by per mission of the chair other speakers not more than once on' any subject without permission of the chair.

(5) Report and financial statement of secretary treasurer (7) Election of officers. (8) Report of committee on programme and resolutions (9) Genea' business. (10) Choosing time nad place of next meeting. The next matter of business of the local board was the confirming of the constitution and bylaws of the associated boards of trade of the western Mainland as submitted by our delegate and that he be authorized to attend the convention and to join on behalf cf the board. Somebody had made a complaint to the secretary or the president of the hours of the local .��������� postbfil.ee and the president brought the matter to the attention of the board, and af- er solemn and serious conversation in regard to the mattter of the hours the wicket was open, the following motion passed the board: "That the secretary be instructed to ask the postmaster to attend the next meeting of the board as the question of the closing of the wicket will be under discussion. The mover was G. A. Watson and the seconder was W. F. Sharpe. The meeting then adjourned. the lands department of tlie provincial government, for the prevention of forest fires, is a handsome picture in colors, entitled "putting' out the camp fire'" a clock poster anda pocket whetstone with an inscription requesting care in regard to lire. The pictures while being distributed to country banks, hotels, stores, etc., of the province are" designed chiefly for distribution to the school children They are being sent in bulk to the superintendents or teachers, and the latter requested before distributing the pictures to the pupils to give a short talk about the relation of the forests to the prosperity of the province, the life history of the forest, emphasizing the great length of time required, and the way it it threat- eneed from youth to old age by fire, and, finally, the necessity on the part of everyone to be careful that they do not through carelessness set a- forest fire which may destroy the - homes and property, as well as the valuable forest. The whetstones are designed chiefly for distribution to persons, such as loggers, settlers, prospectors, trappers and surveyors, who live and work in the forects; and who more than anyone else can be of assistance in preventing forest fires. The vast importance of preserving the forests .from destruction is not realized as strongly by many people as if should be and there is much scope for missionary endeavor in this direction. The distribution - of these small articles by the forest branch will help greatly to remind everyone and especially those who live in forest districts, that a little more care in the use of fire would prevent a vast amount of the waste and desolation of timber caused by fires started, on many occasions by the carelessness of people who neglect to wet out their camp fires in the dry season^ or who carelessly drop matches among dry leaves or brush. ���������- , Peardonville will shortly lose one of its handsome young ladies who is likely to go to near Abbotsford to reside. ***'-'.���������"* ES *HE ABBOTSFORD POST, ABBOTSFORD, B. 6. sat THE ABBOTSFOSD POST.

Tho :--r-.a- son given is that the merchants of Vancouver have rrot been sufficiently active in bringing the beard or trade of that town to task re tho hard things said about New Westminster and the Fraser River at. the recent commission in Winnipeg. ��������� Does it not seem hard to make tho merchants of Vancouver suffer for the faults of a board of trade's.actions? , As a usual thing it is not the merchants of a town nor the wholesalers who are the prominent men in a board of trade. It is not so in many towns,'as in very many cases the merchants themselves" have not the time, and in some cases the inclination to attend beard of trade meetings. Of course not all outsiders" will agree with New Westminster in the way they are acting in this matter, but then that is nothing, but it is hoped from a business point of view that it will be a financial'success. Both Vancouver and' New Westminster are the laughing stock of the Fraser Valley the way they are both so jealous of each other.

The American ap- I'say that wre do not desire to con trol in any degree the affairs of our sister republic" That-is the truest word he has ever spoken on the subject of Mexico.

We should seize Juarez, as we "have" seized Vera Cruz, and should occupy or closely blocade the" remaining bord er towns and seaports.

This feeling is .very plainly set forth in a pamphlet on the "Wilson Doctrine" as set in his ' speech of Oct. 2Gth, 1913, at Mobile, Ala., by Policarpe Bonilla, ex-president of Honduras and!, American' representative of the Central' American' Patriotic League.'^.Speaking of the American situation he says: President Wilson has said, "The United States' will;not seek- tp '-acquire-a single foot of territory by conquest'," but it would be extremely difficult for him to maintain his plelged word. * ���������'* * Surely, he will fear that in view of the immense sacrifices in blood and money that would ensue, public opinion would manil'estitself in favor of absolute conquest as compensat- ��������� ion and as a guarantee that there would not be a repetition of the .- case Nor would the demand of the public end there. Once the United States was converted into a conquering nation it would want at once, without forfeiting future aspirations, to extend the frontiers of this country to the extreme limits of the Isthmus of Panama on the other side of the canal. There is nothing far-fetched in this view���������especially as to our flag going into Mexico to stay, if once it crosses the Rio Grande. If we have to shed blood and spend treasure to clean up Mexico, why, let us keep Mexico in payment for that blood and treasure! We made a great mistake when we did not keep Cuba. As to our onward march southward to. the Isthmus of Panama,' stranger things have hapenod'Countries that cannot keep up with tho march of civilization must expect to fall into stronger hands. And it is unthinkable'that wc should allow any European or Asiatic nation 'to do what we. refuse to do ourselves: The next big migration will be to the south. Some time or other wo shall be crowded at home. Then the migration will take place. Modern sanitation has robbed the tropics of their terrors for the white man. And Central America is the garden spot of the world. CANAL HELPS B. C. LUMBERMEN CITY PLANNING MOVEMENT That the town, planning movement in Canada has come to stay and will have to be reckoned with in the future is demonstrated by the fact that it has already engaged the attention of several of our provincial governments. The year 1912 .saw comprehensive town-planning acts passed in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, and last year Alberta led the way for the Western provinces; Ontario also has an act applicable Ho cities with a population of 50,000 and upwards. The possibilities for tradeexpansion which the completion of the Panama Canal will give the British Columbia lumbermen, are emphasized by the recent anouncement that the "Robert Dollar" the largest lumber cargo boat in the Pacific coast service will be the first boat to take shipments of timber from this province to the eastern markets. Lumbermen in this province are showing themselves alive to the "geographical and strategical advantages they possess by engaging in an active campaign to make known the resources aiid timber manufactures -.and expect the big lumbermen's, parade, planned in connection with the Pacific Coast Ad: Men's Convention to be held in Vancouver in June, to play a prominent part in this connection. British Columbia's rivals freely admit that the opening of the Panama Canal will give a big impetus to the timber trade in this province. The American shipping laws give vessels plying out of the Canadian ports a decided advantage. The following extract from an article, one of a series entitled--"-Tho~Panama -Canal and Lumber" published in a recent number of "The New York Lumber Journal" summarized the situation as it impresses the outside observer. "Much lias been said about the mo nopoly created arrd fostered by the restrictions of coastwise trade to A- merican vessels, and one 'might suppose that theso restricted laws would greatly stimulate the construction ol American-built" ships irr view of the Canal commerce, and that thus the problem of .sti/Mcieul tonnage for lumber to the cast coast would reach a satisfactory solution. . What such laws may do for the coastwise traffic generally wc are now discussing, but as far as lumber is concerned, this desired result is not likely to bo realized. Airy advantage these laws apparently give to'American vescls is nullified by other laws which entail additional cost in the building, manning and operating of American ves^ sels; and'if a commodity like lumber can be purchased on neighboring foreign soil at tho same price as'the domestic product it stands to reason that vessels of other nations will load there and bring their cargoes into the United States, against which there is no legal restriction. THE PASSING JESTER Mr. Brown had. just registered, and was about to' turn away when the clerk asked: "Beg pardon, but what is your name?" ., "Name" echoed ,the indignant guest.

' An English judge, Sir Henry Hawkins, was presiding over a very long and'tedious trial, and listening as attentively as he could to a protracted and 'wearying speech 'from an- eminent counsel in the law.

It is certainly that Mr. Dry/an, like his chief, is aware that war 'is a very costly nuisance, that it is contrary to every principle of economice, that it accomplishes little, and that "ethically it is. not to be justified. Yet the U. S. is at war. Mr. Norman Angell's pres ence is needed to elucidate tlie reason for these things.' According to the author of the Great Illusion, the financiers of New York and of Mexico should have prevented the appeal to force. One marvels at the supine carelessness of Mr. Rockerfeller, Mr. Morgan and Mr. Carnegie in allowing the capture of Vera Cruz. It must be admitted that once a- gain.theory and practice have been divergent. In theory war is impossible. In practice peace is imposaible as they behave themeselves.

The United States ia fighting because General Heurta has refused to fire 21 guns in horror of the Stars and Stripes. At first glance the pretext is trivial, even absurd. But if such circumstance':) compel a pacifist Cabinet to fight, what would waken a militarist Government in action?. crican, European or Asiatic that we have not plotted to just that from the beginning. If we try to set up a president of our own in Mexico, the moment our soldiers are withwrawn wo shall meet the fate of Maximilian and we shall have to do our work all over again.

Frank criticism aud full discussion of this proposed act will be invited. After being amended in accordance with the resolutions of the Conference, copies will, be sent to each provincial government, urging them to enact legislation along the lines proposed. As no.w drafted, the Bill provides for' the preparing and earring out of town-planning projects , by a local board in each city or town, subject to the approval of a central town- planning board for the whole province. Projects will apply chiefly to land likely to be used" for building purposes, but may, in certain circum stances, include land.already built upon, or land.unsuitable for building. Provision is made for compensation to private owners if injuriously affect ed and for. local authority recovering half of the unearned increment if property values are increased. The central board may act on its own iniative if the local board fails to do its duty or if no local board exists. Under such' an act, the growth of every town will be regulated so. that streets may be. of adequate width and in accord with the general plan of the town; housing congestion will not be permitted; sufficient, open spaces will be reserved for parks, squares and other municipal purposes and health, amenity and convenience will be given due consideration in all new building areas and,"so far as pos sible, in old ones.

The first cost of installing a small motor is insignificant compared with the time and labor which will be saved by its work at a small cost for current Pumping water, grinding feed, sawing wood, operating cream separators, churns, etc., are classes of farm work for which electricity is now generally used. The provision of'electric current also makes it possible for you to have the. convenience of modern lighting as 'well as the facilities for using electric ,labor saving apliances such as Irons, Washing Machines, etc., in the house.
