Three meetings have'already been held and the organization is now pretty /well under way. An effort is being made to create marketing distributing points like Victoria, Vancouver and New 'Westminster, to which produce can be forwarded'and handled by,those in charge. These centres may also control thejkind.of produce certain districts shall raise so as not to glut the market. ' The following is a report of the meeting. Mr. Warner address the gathering. The meeting, he said, appointed delegates to urge on the Provincial government to-organize the farmers in their respective districts through an appointed agent. He also referred to New Zealand and the bane- fit the producers derived from its government' organization and asked why we cannot have the same. Reeve-Poppy, who presided, followed in the same -straiii"emphasi^i������g^the- need;of organization by the government so as to encourage the farmer. ' . Forms were then distributed to those present asking the number of shares, at, $5 per share, they were prepared' .to take, after which the managing committee retired to prepare a statement, of the number taken which was found to be 362, representing $1810. It was felt that this amount was .inadequate and that steps should be taken to secure the names of others interested, but absent, and that a report should be brought in at an adjourned meeting to be held on Thursday, May 29, when the matter would come up for final settlement. This motion carried and the meeting, after thanking Mr. iJoppy for presiding and Mr. A. West- land for- the unwearied interest he takes in .the enterprise dispersed to meet in the same hall and at 8 p.m. on Thursday, May 29. The secretary then read to those present on behalf of Mr. A. K. Goldsmith, secretary to the Farmers' Institute, the folowing communication: "Sir���������The superintendent of immigration desires to secure the actual experiences of successful British Columbia farmers in short, pithy letters, showing how from small beginnings they have established comfortable homes for their families and are making fair profits on their capital and personal exertions. "It is desirable that the writers should state their previous occupations da'te of arrival in British Columbia, as well as what they have accomplished. "These letters are to be used in the immigration bulletins and pamphlets published by the Dominion and Provincial authorities, and should prove a most effectual style of advertising. "I would therefore request you to bring this proposal prominently before the members of your J institute, emphasizing its importance to your district as well as to the whole Province. "Would you be good enough to inform me how the matter is received by your members and what results 1 may expect. ���������'Yours truly, "FRANK I. CLARKE, Secy." MUNICIPAL OFFICERS Preliminary Meeting with a View lo Organizing Municipal Servants Is . Well Attended. A meeting of municipal clerks, treasurers, assessors, collectors and accountants was held in the Board of ' Trade rooms, New Westminster, on Saturday evening for the purpose of forming a municipal officers' association. ,The atenrlance was exceedingly good for a preliminary meeting, a dozen representatives showing up, many others being unable to attend on account of council meetings, other engagements and the inability of some to return to their homes on Saturday night. , These disabilities mav be- avoided by holding meetings in' the afternoon, possibly on a Friday. Mr. MacKay, treasurer of New Westminster, was voted to the chair, and, Mr. Griffin, assessor and collector for Burnaby, as secretary of the' meeting, the latter,, with other officials ,of Burnaby, being largely instrumental in the inauguration of the movement. As no munici-. pal staff officials' organization exists in the province, it was thought inadvisable to circumscribe the name, top much. It was therefore suggested that the name be "The Municipal Officials' Organization of British Columbia." A committee was named with Mr. Moore, municipal clerk of Burnaby, as chairman, to draft a constitution and other organization suggestions. From remarks by Mr. Wilson of Richmond; Mr. West, of South Vancouver; Mr. Farmer, of North Vancouver; Mr. Gibson, of Matsqui; Mr. Broad, of New Westminster, and others, it developed that the practical usefulness and urgent need of such an organization was much more evident than even the promoters may have anticipated. The success of the movement seemed asured. While the Union of Municipalities is doing a splendid work on proper lines, that body 'handles- legislature and more .general questions, and may not have the time or opportunity to go into details. The municipal officers in their various positions are continually up against questions which, although of great importance, are largely questions which do not touch the -legislature and controlling bodies as it does the official staff. The organization of the latter, therefore, should be a great help and rounding out of municipal education to thc betterment of all concerned. FARMERS SilOULD FORjyRSlZATION ��������� All over the province atthe present time there is the cry ,to organize for the purpose of having the products of the province sold in the home markets, and shutting put the' products of foreign countries. Millions of, dollars, are imported into B. C. every year and yet at the same time the B. C. products are rotting on the ground. , The farmers and fruit growers suffer in consequence. At the commission held here several weeks ago it was shown to the commission that a farmer could carry on_ mixed farming- on ten acres and make it pay. Instances were brought to the 'attention of the commissioners. Now one of the commissioners comes forward with the statement as follows: Mr. S. H. Shannon of .Cloverdale, one of the members of the Agricultural Commission, while on his way home Saturday said that the commissioners had received much important information in regard to fanning conditions in the Fraser River Valley as the result of the recent sittings. There was no ���������doubt that-today many of-the farmers', in the district were confronted with adverse conditions, ��������� but* he believed many'of these would be removed. He'' pointed out that' a mistake was being made in some parts of the province' in the ambition to grow fruit instead of pursuing mixed farming. Some parts of the province could not be ex-, celled for fruit growing,'but it was a mistake, he declared, to presume that the entire province was "'adapted for fruit. He believed that improved transportation facilities and co-operation among the farmers .'would result in much improved conditions, and he hoped to see provincial-grown fruit receive the preference from city consumers. OBITUARY Th death occurred recently of Mrs. M. McNeil at the advanced ago of 75 years. The deceased lady was a native of Scotland, but came to Canada with the early settlers and with .her husband settled in Ontario. Mr. McNeil was called to the Great Beyond some seven years ago and tlie aged mother and two sons journeyed to the west, eventually settling in Abbotsford, where they have resided for the past two years. One son and two married daughters are still living in the east. Mr. H. Campbell of Kamloops spent, several days in town the guest of his brother, Mr, W. M. Campbell, our local jeweller. FOOTBALL DANCE The promoters of good, clean sport are always assured of assistance in AbbotoL'ord. This was exemplified by the appreciative audience which pat-, ronized the concert and dance given by the Lacrosse Club on Friday night last. The energetic committee had a fine programme prepared, thc following artistes contributing. After this enjoyable musical feast, the floor was cleared, and dancing was then the order of the evening. Everett's orchestra, which by the way is now one of the most popular orchestras in the Valley, having recently been strengthened by the addition of several new members, furnished the "gladsome noise" that made one and all feel as if they were stepping on feathers. Mrs. Clarke, Miss Ailwood, Messrs. Fennpre,'Hammond, Blair, Hill Tout. Accompanists���������;Miais Henderson and Mr. Blair. Mr. Blair, the latest acquisition to Abbotsford's musical circles, made a decided hit with the audience, while encores were given all the other performers. . Messrs. Liddle and Morrison, who had charge of the arrangements, are to be congratulated on the success in which the entertainment was aarried through. %'���������.������ '' "1 ��������� ���������'���������'-IV f J' fi ���������riv.-i..>������; .Aitjiiwiiit'j.!?*:1,3-tV I: Tjra?

In order to protect those seeking employment from companies, firms or persons carrying on thc business ol.Mntellige.nce offices, or employment or labor agencies in Canada an Order-in-Council has been passed marking out the straight and narrow path that such agents must follow.. The following are some of the most important, clauses:. . ��������� , , > :- i 't^i^MM^&^M ."No person* firm or company engaged in an intelligence office, or employment or labour agency business shall by advertisement, letter, poster, verbal communication or otherwise make false representations to any immigrant seeking employment as to opportunities, or conditions of employment, with any employer in Canada. *'Every holder of a license under these regulations shall in books provided for that purpose keep the,following records of his business, viz., the full name and address in Canada, and home address, if any elsewhere, of every immigrant' with whom the holder has dealings: the port and date of the immigrant's arrival in Canada; the name of the steamship or railway by which the immigrant has come to*Canada; the name and address of the immigrant's next of kin; together with the name and address of the employer for whom the immigrant is engaged; the nature of the work to be performed; the rate of wages to be paid* the rate of board, all decluc-' tions from wages, and other terms of engagement. "The employment fee .chargeable by intelligence offices,, employment or labour agencies for their ^services in securing employment for an immigrant shall not in' any case exceed the sum of $1.00, and such fee shall be refunded in case the immigrant is1 unable immediately upon, arrival at the place where' the work was represented ��������� to be, secure the. promised employment at the wages and upon the terms represented at time of payment of fee." B. 0. IS DIFFERENT. This province of British Columbia is not like the provinces of the- east. It is not of the Canada most Canadians know. This is not Ontario with'its complacent opinion of itself; not Quebec, with its tarnished battlements. There is no city here like St. John or Halifax, nor peaceful landscapes like that of Prince Edward Island, the Dreamer in the Gulf. Nor is it western as Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta are western. It has traditions of its own and a destiny of its own, within thc Federation. Its history" does not begin so much with Columbus and Cabot as with gaunt Siberian adventurers storm-driven upon, this coast while in pursuit of the sea-otter; with arrogant Spanish -commanders sailing gallantly northward from the Spanish main; with red-cheeked English navigators and lean Yankee skippers feeling out its coast-line through fogs and snowstorms, and with the grim Mackenzie crawling laboriously over the mountains from the plain to find more fur for the Great Company. Our Family Compact troubles did not greatly concern British Columbia. Our eastern Canadian pioneering, our constitutional struggles, and our little affair of 1812 did not much interest that province. It has a history of its owrn. It stands alone, as it stood when the other provinces entered Confederation. And it has a destiny of its own. This province will not follow but will lead. It faces west; the others face east. They face the motherland and the morning sun; this country faces strange peoples, possible enemies, and the setting sun. It may be that some of the other provinces in this Confederation may yet turn and face the sunset over the shoulder of this greater province. But that is in the future, together with all the great possibilities of this land.��������� Globe. WOULD ABOLISH "CASE COUNT. That the system known as the "case count"-which has prevailed in the egg trade for a number of years provides no discrimination whatever, and that under it the producer, with no reflection on the men, is not encouraged to market an article of high quality, was the decision come to yesterday afternoon in the rooms of the Board of Trade at a largely attended meeting of the egg trade of the Pronvices ot Ontario and Quebec. The remedy for this state of affairs was suggested as taking the form of an Eggs Marks Act, similar to, the act governing fruit. The formation of a new produce association was also proposed. Determining means whereby consumers and merchants could be protected against the marketing of stale and rotten eggs was the primary object o,f the meeting. Under the present system when bad eggs are found in the cases there is no recourse for die dealer to take, and the opinion of the meeting was that the "case count" ���������where a flat rate is quoted, stale and bad eggs commanding just as high a price as those of the highest grade��������� is equivalent to placing a premium on careless and dilatory methods in the production and care of this product. Moreover, it was.pointed out that.the country storekeepers received no encouragement, to market an article ot high quality. The opinion was ��������� unanimous that legislation should bo secured to prevent the sale of such products and full approval was given to the proposal to adopt a new system whereby clue discrimination should be' made between good and bad eggs. The following resolutions were unanimously adopted: "Resolved, That it is the consensus of opinion of those assembled'in this meeting that thc greatest need of tho .Canadian egg trade at the present time is the passage.by the Federal Parliament of an,Egg Marks Act, similar to the Fruit Marks'Act; such, act to make unlawful the buying, selling or trading in rotten eggs and to include such other regulations as may be thought advisable to promote the best interests of all concerned. "Resolved, That the egg dealers assembled here unanimously approve of the proposal to change on .'June 1, 1.913, from the present system of buying eggs to a system of buying only on the basis of quality, and further, we disapprove of paying for any rotten eggs in our .receipts after that date. "Resolved, That the chairman ap--' point a committee to draft a constitution and to take steps in conjunction with the trade in other provinces to form an association to be known as 'The Canadian, Produce Association,' with a view to bringing together the city and county wholesale produce, dealers, and further, that a meeting be called in Toronto at an early date to give effect to this resolution." : Representing the Federal and Provincial Governments, the following officials attended at the request of the trade: Mr. W. A. Brown, Live Stock Department, Ottawa;.M. J. II. Hare,' Live Stock Department', Ottawa; Mr. F. C. Elford, poultry manager, Experimental Farm, Ottawa, and Prof. W. R. Graham, of Guelph. ��������� The efficacy and the imperative need of a system of payment based upon quality was. set forth by these speakers. Their proposal was followed by continued and animated discussion, but through it all it was clear that the majority of the meeting was heartily in sympathy with this or any other measure that would enable the producers and handlers of this product to curtail, or if possible, entirely eliminate the enormous and needless loss due to the marketing of bad and deteriorated eggs. It was further pointed out by certain members present that it would certainly be unwise not to take advantage of the experience gained by a number of the States, notably Kansas and Michigan. "What was proposed at the meeting had already been worked out in a practical way in these States, with the result of very greatly conserving this valuable product by eliminating needless , loss and thus making the poultry, enterprise more remunerative.for the producer and the price of the product cheaper and its quality more dependable for the consumer. EXTENDS CONDOLENCE Abbotsford, B.C., May 3, 1913. At the regular monthly meeting of the L. O. L. 18G7, it was unanimously resolved that the members of the Lodge convey to Bro.

Of uniform size, the supply available was quickly disposed of, 20 cents apiece being asked by the vendors. Rhubarb was offered in large quantities at 10 cents for each bunch. Favored by the fine weather, a large attendance gathered, and the briskness of trade which characterized last week's market was equalled, if not surpassed, this morning. Eggs and butter prices both remained stationary at 35 cents per dozen and 40 cents per pound respectively. Duck and turkey eggs for hatching were on offer a,t the usual prices. A fine showing of plants, for bedding purposes, featured the floral section, due to the fact that for the past month, these stalls have been the best patronized portion of the market. This morning the vendors had a difficult task attending the numerous customers surrounding their wares. Cabbage and tomato plants were in great demand, the former selling at two dozen fo;r 25 cents,'while for the latter 25 cents per dozen was asked. Petunia and pansy plants also met with a ready sale, pansies bringing. 25 cents for four roots. In .the fish section the disappearance of oolichans was the only feature worthy of no,tc. Last week's prices held this morning for other classes. Spring lamb was offered in the meat stalls, fore quarter at 23 to 25 cents per lb.;' and hind quarters at 30 to 35 cents. Vegetable prices continue depressed with no prospect of change. Potatoes were on sale at fifty cents per sack, with practically no sale.

The Average Canadian Works Hard and Says Nothing About It Under the title "Shall I Go to Canada?���������An English Journalist's Impressions," the articles in the Daily Mail, written by Hamilton Fyfe, special correspondent of that journal, have, after revision, been reprinted in sixpenny book ��������� form. Mr. Fyfe has a vivid power of description, and the articles deal in graphic fashion with his impressions, which embrace Canadian life from Montreal to Vancouver, and which were gathered on more than one journey. Some of Mr. Pyfe's aphorisms are particularly strong. For instance: ' ' "Ontario calls the Maritime Provinces sleepy,, and .Winnipeg humorously pretends to think they are dead." .. "An American sticks up all round his office little maxims such as 'Do It Now,' 'Am I Here For, My Health?' 'Tomorrow* Never Comes.'

'- Because he has carried out a great deal more pledges in the fifteen months he has been in power than Laurie'r did in the fifteen years in which he occupied the position' of Prime Minister of Canada. Because he is not always talking ot Canadian "autonomy" as if it were something to be guarded against''^the risk of being kidnapped. \ Because he is a Canadian first, last and all the time, and believes that this great Dominion can best work out, her destiny as a free nation ��������� within the Empire, and not as an "adjunct" ing no use for the American-style ofl-of the United States. which, can foist any lie Because he is British to the', core; A man without an aim in life is like a dog that has no wag���������in his-.tail.

Some men use up a lot of time regretting the years they have wasted. Every time a man loses' money he loses a little more confidence in humanity. Anyway, an old bachelor doesn't have to stand for a lot of relatives- in-law. If you would pose as a cynic, all you have to do is to put the lid on your sentiment and nail it down.

"The very fact that-any evil is of American origin is enough to make it unpopular- almost everywhere, in Toronto above all." "A board of trade, I ^should explain, is a society composed of business men; their object is to assist business, not to hinder it as our government board of trade does." "One becomes sceptical about population in Western Canada. One asks, 'How many people are there there?' One's informant takes a deep breath, looks one full in the eye to see how much he will swallow, and names the largest figure he can think of. If it arouses astonishment, he adds quickly, 'There or thereabouts.' " '���������'One's scepticism is increased by the ridicule which the new towns pour upon each other's census. Yet all this keenness is a good, healthy sign." "In the mass, Canadian university men appear to be better educated than English university men. Their education is more closely in touch with life. They have almost always more desire to learn and a more vivid interest in lite. They are... more in earnest about it." ��������� In his closing words Mr. Fyl'e says: "England is Old England. Canada is young. The young never pay much attenticai to the opinions of the old, and they are right. Experience is ot some value, but you have only tp set it against the enthusiasm of youth to see how timid it is, how stiff the joints.

As.the membership fee is only $1.50, the club should be well patronized this year. The first general meet will take place on Wednesday evening. be effective. The' first way is to destroy all you can find in the house, and then keep thoiu out . by carefully windows, ice may a' thousand people in the neighborhood, keep tho yards clean, and see that all their sources of food supply, such as garbage, are removed. The city health department exists to help in this. In this connection the N. Y. State Board of Health puts forth the following bits ot advice: It is better to screen the cradle and wear a smile, than scoff at precautions and wear mourning. Flies in the dining room usually precede nurses in the sick room. Screens in the Avin- dows prevent crepe on the door. Flies as well as bad'water, spread typhoid. A fly in the milk may mean one of the family in the grave. It costs less to buy a screen door than to get sick, and lay off for a month. It's a short haul from the garbage can to the dining room table-via the fly route. Swat the fly, screen the doors and windows, and clean up, and DO IT NOW.���������Columbian.

In the course of a few weeks, we may look for weather conditions that will bring the flies into activity again. In fact they are just beginning to show themselves. Since one fly may be responsible for the existence of some millions of its kind before the summer is over, the time to begin their extermination is now, when those that have survived the winter are just making their appearance. There are two ways to get rid of flies, and either one is useless without the other, and both require the cooperation of every citizen in order to ' AUCTION SALE Of Choice Tuberculosis Free-Dairy Stock .Under instructions from Mr. H.
