We have heard a good deal about Canada for Canadians, and why not Chilliwack for Chilliwack people? We have also been told considerable about big monopolies getting our trade and profits, but why support out of town departmental store monopolies by sending the ready cash to them, and asking the local dealer, the home man, to carry an account for various periods of time, or perhaps turn him down altogether? Hardly "Canada for Canadians" sentiment there. Let us bo patriotic toward our own town, its industry, its capital, and its talent.

If a player signs on to play for a particular team exclusively, well, Abbotsford and good, but to expect players to remain off the field week after week when they have not bound themselves to do so, is to my mind expecting too much. If Abbotsford can run-two' teams, so much the better. A good- football team is a good advertisement. for any town, and surely two.-good. ones in the district must-be-better.
