C i -a-JBfifisggaBM-fflgBiag*^^ THE PRISONER OF WAK In the prison Camp at Geissen There a captive soldier lay- In his lonely cot lay pining For the dawning of "the day"; For the day of retribution That should loose the bondage chain, That should free the world from sorrow, That should set him free again. But his heart was sad and weary And his days were dreary long, Drooping low and drooping lower. Now his hearty spirits gone. Oft he thought him of his homeland, Of his many friends of yore. Could they only know the trials Of a prisoner of war. Day by day he watched in silence As the daily mails came in; Day by day the soldier languished, As no token came for him; Not a word or sign to cheer him, Not a line from o'er the sea, Sad he watched his comrades' rapture That were now more blest than he. Can we leave him,. friends, to languish Bear his load of grief alone? When it takes a slender pittance Shall we hand him but a stone? Let us reach the hand of. friendship. Help him pass each bitter day; In the prison camp at Geissen Let.us smooth his thorny way. Let. him know his friends remember, Let him know they understand Let him feel the hearth fires hunting In his home and native land. Let us soothe his bitter hours, Let us feel no qualm of shame, Thata lonely heart e'er waited For the cheer that never came. That is the plight, of many a warworn soldier lad languishing in a German camp, pining for the freedom that once was his, longing and hoping for a message or token from his far away homo for the tiny offering that is meat and drink to him. What does this mean to you and me? Can we fail to heed this muto appeal? Will you help us brighten his darker moments, to give him the homeland cheer from the only source whence that cheer can come���������from you. Then come to the Masquerade at Matsqui, Friday evening December J, for the benelit of the prisoners of war. The Mackness orchestra will provide the music. A committee has donated the expense for music and provided for refreshments; and in addition each member of the committee will pay the regular admittance. Surely readers, this cause is worthy of your support.. Help us to make this the grand success of the season. Watoh for the posters. Remember the date December 1.

It has'been suggested! question, better'this than that that a better service to the val- Ule prosperity of the country be ley would be that this train leave Vancouver in-the morning a little later and return, on the summer schedule. If this were done it would make this train of excellent service locally, but of course the C. P. R. may not see it that way. The matter of abetter service between points on the line between Mission City and Huntingdon has been , remedied by the placing of locked bags between the different points. We believe the Abbotsford board of trade did good work when they took this matter up with the postal authorities. Every municipality along the north side' of the Fraser river are- taking up the matter of the uncertainty of the Hope local���������some now calling it the hopeless local. The local board at its last meeting decided to add their request for a better service. Of course the C. P. R. could not please everybody but the present service comes in for so much criticism from so many different sources that it would appear that no point except Mission City is satisfied that the company is giving the best service possible. ;ept back TIJU AIM'LU MAHKIOT AX!) CAK SHORTAGE Jobbers and retailers are complain ing of the slow movement of- tipples from B. C.��������� points. Country points are not ovorly well supplied with apples and what they have are all- B. C.'s. It is regrettablo(that more cars could not have been placed' before this because this cold spell will affect the movement to some extent. Jobbers, however are waiting patiently for their cars. This year afforded B. C. an excellent oportunity to properly show her wares. From Winnipeg west British Columbia apples are to be seen and there will be a good many more rolling to prairie, towns. People are being persuaded by the retailers to purchase boxed apples because "Ontario has a poor crop this year." This argument is beinp" used in hundreds of towns by energetic retailers. Some Manitoba retailers are selling B. C. crated stock at $1.5-0 to the consumer and are doing a good business. In one prairie town which your ing relief and accommodation to the fleeing refugees have not only been overlooked, but were at the time actually misrepresented.' To the-former class belongs Rev. Mr. Conn, of Matheson, who, according to Mr. Cohen, manager of the Croesus mine, was probably the most heroic figure oi* the terrible lire. In the words of the report given, Mr. Conn "dug the graves,, prayed over and buried eighty-seven victims." . In-carrying out his humane and self-imposed task under the trying circumstances of'the fire, and its accompaniments of ruin and environment of distress, the physical, and mental powers of Mr. Conn must have been sorely tried, and thore are none but will concede that he was indeed one of tho most heroic figures of the fatality. Othor heroes who did giant work were the enginoors who ran their trains back and forth thru walls of flamo tluit reared up on either si do", threatening thera with death if they dared to enter their territory. These mon, however, saved hundreds., and how thoy did It was the wonder of all who witnessed their work or benefitted by it. That those men should got soma public recognition would seem to be but a simple act-,of justice. So far this does not seem to have been done." The above was accompanied by a pictures of the' Ilov.
