FRASER VALLEY TEACHERS HAVE EXCELLENT MEETING (From the Fraser Valley Record) The Fourth Annual Convention of the Fraser Valley Teachers' Institute met in the Mission City school on "Friday last, November 19th. There was a good attendance of teachers and the afternoon session was attend- ' ed by several visitors. The chair was occupied by Mr. Gamble. / An interesting paper on Senior A- -.rithmetic given by Mr. D. M Moore was much' appreciated and provoked considerable discussion, which, was led by Miss Mackenzie, B. A., and Miss McEwen. This was followed by two papers on Intermediate History. Miss Mills gave a paper on Drake and Captain John Smith. - Mr. Thibault read an account of the lives of Radisson and Verendrye. Both papers showed much painstaking reseach and oc- cassioned much interest. Then ensued the general business of the Institute. The following officers were elected for the coming year: President. Mr. D. M. Moore Vice-President. Mr. G. D. Thibault; Secretary-Treasurer. Miss M. Portsmouth: The Superintendent of Education, Dr. Robinson, was elected as Honorary President; and Inspector DeLortg as Honorary Vice-President A vote of thanks was passed to the retiring officers, Mr. Gamble. (Pres- dent) and Miss McAdam (secretary) Mr. Lampard, representing the trustees, then rose an'd in an able speech expressed his pleasure in attending the convention and, his recognition of its assistance in the cause of efficiency. The meeting then adjourned for lunch. The afternoon session began with two Intermediate History papers, .postponed from the doming session. Miss Hall gave an interesting and detailed sketch of the career of Mungp Park, and MissMcKenzie read a paper equally interesting on Henry Hudson. It is the intention of the Institute to print all the four papers for the advantage of all teachers whom they may concern. A paper on Primary Language and Nature Study, given by Miss Burpee of the Provincial Normal School of Vancouver, was very much enjoyed, not only by the primary teachers present who derived inspiration from it, but by many others who felt that much ofL what Miss Burpee said could be applied to other grades than the primary. ' Miss Elderkin and Miss Portsmouth discussed this paper as did also Inspector DeLong and Mr. J. A. Catherwood. Finally Mr. Gamble gave a detailed account of the Great War, enumerating its immediate causes and following its developments up to the present, assisting his hearers with sketches. Miss Baker, B. A., discua- sed this paper. A vote of thanks was passed to all those who had contributed to the day's programme. The convention then closed after a short address by Trustee Mrs. F. Solloway and others. In the evning in the Victor Theatre Professor Davidson, F. L. S. F. B. S. E., the government botanist at Victoria, delivered a most interesting and' instructive illustrated lecture on "Plant Life in British Columbia" A piano solo was rendered by Miss Helen-Bates,, Miss Hartwell of Vanco- ver being unable to be present; Miss M. E. Brown and Mr A. E. Catchpole each gave a vocal solo, rendered in a most pleasing style. ' vThe~'Departm4Vt- '/"of"- ^^Agriculture will provide a" competent instructor and pay all expenses. The local administration of the pruning; schools will be placed in the hands-of a:re,- sponsible! "local body, such as ��������� the Farmers',,Institute, the Fruit Growers' Association or-the Board of Trade, who will be responsible for the guarantee of a minimuf of eight pupils, (but not more, than twelve) ���������with the prope.r" qualifications, at a fee of one dollar each, to take ten lessons of three hours a lesson, the school extending over five days. Where the number of pupils in a district justifies, two pruning schools may be arranged for, in which the minimum guarantee will be sixteen pupils, and not over twenty-four. The local organization will aso provide an orchard or orchards, where the instructor may .hold the pruing classes, and a hall o$rooni in which the lectures may be held. ���������Besides the actual practice in the orchard", of which the course will con sist chiefly where the pupils will prune' trees under the supervision of the instructor, there will be lectures on the theo ry of pruning, which will include talks on pruning as related to the formation of fruit buds and to plant growth, also the subject oftop grafting undesirable varieties will be dealt with, along with many other points of interest. The pupils will provide their own pruning tools, the necessary tools being a pair of pruning shears, a saw and a pocket whetstone. A pruning pole and a light ladder may also be necessary for large trees. ,Tho Department expects that the instructor will be met on his arrival by some responsible person, who can provide him'with all the necessary information, so as to get the school under way without loss of time. It hardly seems necessary to present to you the important advantages to be gained from a pruning school. Pruning is one of the important operations in the,production of first-class fruit, and one in which the orchard- ist cannot have too much information STRAITON ,A-MI -- On Friday November 19th the people of Straiton Gave their second concert in aid of the Red Cross. $46.75 has been handed the officers ofl the Red Cross.

" 'The '47th, headed by D Company,' says Mr. Macdonald's correspondent, 'came thundering into the boat shed, heads up, shoulders squared, arms at the slope, and looking like a regiment oh an inspection parade. It was wonderful and inspiring. God help the enemy when it comes to grips with your western regiments. When one considers that this one had just finished a railway trip of six days, and should have been dog-tired, their swing, carriage, overflowing spirits and genuine good nature, and "never say die" style is all the more wonderful. It was splendid. I felt as though something had given way. I wanted to yell, scream, or do something to give vent to my feelings. I came away feeling tliat the west was 'doing its duty' " The West is doing its duty these days in the matter of enlisting and we are proud of the fact. The West is foremost among the enlisting; foremost among the style and strength of its soldiers; foremost in assistance rendered to the Red Cross; foremost in teaching the rest of the Dominion���������the downeasterners in the cent belt���������how tp' be patriotic. 1<UR TRADE CONDITIONS IN AMERICA One of our great delghts is a newspaper scrap, but we can enjoy one between two other papers just as well if if it were the real thing with ourselves. The Vancouver World and the Vancouver Province are having it thick and fast. The World makes fun of the Province service. The Sun chips in sometimes and gets it both coming and going. The other day the Province made the public believe that it printed the news one day and the next day the World printed the same news. This made the World a day behind the-Province. The Province picked out a hews item which it hoped the World would have next day. But just here is where the fun came in as the World had about the identical article in the same day and claims to have had it on the streets the same day ten minutes earlier than the Province. Who says there is no fun in the publishing of a newspaper. _ In a recent article Mr. A. B. Shu- bert, President of A. B. Shubert. Inc. Chicago., 111., the largest house in the world dealing exclusively in American Raw Furs. ��������� states as the reason for the unusual great demand and big increase in the price of North American" Raw Furs as'follows: The purchasing power of) the people of the United States, is greater today than ever before' in history. Furs are more fashionable than ever before in history The demand of the dress and garment maker's far exceeded the anticipated, demand of the fitters of Fur trimmings were for orders for Fur trimmings were for miles, not yards, of all. grades of every article of Furs. The low price of muskrat created the demand for Hudson Seal, Coats. A well made, good quality coat could bo bought at wholesale for around one hundred dollars. Weather conditions throughout the United States during July, August and September were extremely favorable for the sale of neck pieces for mid-summer wear, such as the very fashionable animal scarf This extraordinary demand fpr the Raw Furs and stocks in the hands of the Raw Fur dealers are practically closed out. This will unquestionably create a, Dig demand for the November and December fresh goods and, no doubt, make the trapping of Fur bearers a very profitable occupation. A.

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 ���������^t'he district, and industries already established. jj WHEN DUTY CALLS Elsewhere we publish an advertisement asking the people who have saved a little money to make a safe profitable investment to say nothing of its being a patriotic investment. It is a loan to the whole collective population of Canada, secured upon all the public and private property in the Dominion. The interest rate will.be nearly double that now paid by the Government savings banks or by the chartered banks. This is the first time that the government of Canada has undertaken to float a loan at home. It has not been usual even to ask for subscriptions abroad with-' out having some arrangements that it would be underwritten by bankers and brokers in case public subscription failed. Mr. White seems confident of success. We believe that he would have been justified in even grater confidence and that he would have obtained all the money he asks on .terms more favorable to the Treasury than, he is expected to offer. But it will be necessary to borrow a great deal more money before the war ends, and it may be well to give the Canadian people encouragement to furnish all they can save.

The good wife needs a Sunday gown, with flossy gussets, seams and tucks; he'd send her shopping through the town, or to the mail order houses by parcel post, but he has only seven bones.
