Seven- days and nights of defeat have added to his impotent ang- -cr; till he rages up and down the Somme, wholly disregarding von Fal- kenhayn's-warning against the Avaste oi: munitions and sacrificing men and shells in a-perfect orgy of hate. There.was a delightful little scene in' tho battered main street of Cour- celette, where the' French Canadians rounded up a Bavarian battalion "com. inander���������a real "baron��������� who gave J way .to a truly German outburst of anger and despair when he found that his captors were fewer in number than the.-troops he commanded. You must imagine^t.his scipn.,oJI a minor princely house, with his hands in the. air and the light of fury shin- 'ing through his .eyeglass, surrounded j by a group of watchful. French-speak'- | ing-infantrymen from Quebec. A- rouncl him reluctant members of his garrison were being bombed into the light of day or surrendering to a shining .bayonet, with the usual formula: "Pardon, kamerad!" Then tho arrival of a French-Canadian commander, and a conversation in French .between victor-and prisoner, Finally the eruption of red-hot German profanity, Uowing like lava over the. politer language of diplomacy. He stamped and bellowed. -, " * * * -vve chastened him," said a spectator of this breezy interlude. "Oh, yes, we brought him low with a rush. Before long he was ,so tame lic'd eat out of our hands." '. The angry baron' made an humble exit from Courcelette with his hack to the German army, walking before a f-le ol wounded Bavarians. He had obic-cied to finding his way to tho British lines through <ne heavy 0=r- inan eir.i.fu'u- fire find, successive waves of advancing Canadian l.ro.sp.s pointing cut that ho vtas in danger oi! being killed by his own gunners "You have got to take your chance," said the Canadian officer grimly., "If the Germans fire on you it's your funeral, not ours." They did go on firing, as a matter of fact, and the baron���������still further chastened���������reached the first British dressing station with a shrapnel wound in his leg." Fear of Airmen I make the following extracts from j captured German documents- which show the .growing fear of British' airmen and the effectiveness of our artillery: To Battalion Headquarters. 211th Regiment on September 11: The company has had very heavy losses, and cannot hold the sector in the event of an attack. The losses are chiefly owing to our own heavy artillery. No contact on the right * * '* Attack on us appears to bo impending. Communication with the right cannot be maintained, since everything is flattened out. Your Ad. in This Paper BECAUSE THE- RIGHT PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR YOUR AD. If you COULD (although, OF COURSE, you can't) stop every man you meet on the streets asd ask: "Do you want to buy a pair of shoes?" (Or any other kind.of goods) You might-find . half a dozen who would say "Yes." Perhaps not one of these, however, would want to buy the article you want to sell. If������your advertisement, however, were - to . be printed in these columns this week, it would "stop". EVERY MAN IN ,TOWN WHO WANTS' TO BUY SHOES, OR CLOTHES, OR ANY OTHER ARTICLE���������-and it wouldn't "stop" any-, one who didn't want to buy- That's the beauty of tire advertising -way of finding a buyer. The ad. finds the buyer through the simple process, of being easily and readily found BY the buyer - And if, among the prospective buyers of goods, there is one to whom your goods would be a bargain, and your ad. is a'convincing one, you'll sell what you want to sell. (THIS SPACE FOR SALE) 9) It must once more be pointed out that the establishment of anti-aircraft guns in the rear and near rest billets is absolutely necessary. In the case of aircraft flying really low, as it is reported they often do, it must be possible to shoot them down if a belt ot! fire is laid in front of them into which they have -to fly. There is no chance of success if the airmen themselves are aimed at. From an Army Order of the Higher Command, signed by Gen. von Below, dated August 29th: According to reports from Headquarters, hostile airmen have sustained quite trivial losses from the machine-gun lire of our troops. The theory that hostile'aircraft are protected by armour against infantry-is not correct. Vigorous firing at the; enemy's firing men has every prospect of success, and must bo attended to.The entrance to dugouts must be concealed in order to render it difficult for enemy airmen to observe them. Other captured documents show a marked shortage of-remounts, oci-r, , and hay for some months past. An order of the 6th Corps states thai horsse are to be spared as much as possible. Another admits that the quality of the horses sent up from the lines of communications is deteriorating. Mention is also made of the intention of issuing small Russian horses. GIKliS AS BANK CLERKS ��������� The statement of the Royal Bank officials to an Eastern paper that they now employ 700 women iu their various offices as compared to only 25 0. previous to the-war, serves to draw added attention to another phase .of. the poweriul currant of these, our times Incidentally the management state that taken as a whole these wor men are very satisfactory They are largely young girls recruited from business colleges and the.usual business channels, but of late a new element has crept into the supply. This is in reference to the fact that girls of ��������� well-to-do. families who had not previously considered working are now beginning to fill the gap created by the absence of other bread winners or else simply in answer to the more insistent demand for their services. This is stated to be particularly true in the case, of the Halifax branches.

We are pleased' to see the ��������� women take this matter up, and only hope that ..they ��������� will'be able to solve the problem���������the men of the Valley cannot. Even the Westminster Columbian thinks the question is in good hands, and starts in to say something. This is what the Columbian has to say editorially: "The conference of Women's Institutes for ,the Lower Mainland have, like many another public body of the Frase rValley,- found that the problem of better marketing was bound to intrude in. any discussion, as1 to-im- . proving farming and: home.'economy-'Conditions in a region that for fertility and varied ��������� production of foodstuffs has no equal, but which- lacks1, that co-operation in the business end of. the.industry such, as .will, give a full and,profitable,return to the tillers of the soil Itf-.is gratifying that the women of the rural districts iiave discussed this question, and it is to be, hoped that they will continue to give it consideraion until such time as they approach farther on the way to absolution than'the-men of the Valley and city. For the problem? is; still insistent, and particularly so in the fall of the year, when markets are gutted with seasonable fruit and vegetables'. wlhich ..the local consuming centres can not absorb readilyl all at once, and "Which- condition-lowers''the'-returns-to the-farmer, fruit growers and 'vegetable producer. "The'report's-,on. the markets these, days ���������as-s'-to :the' -shamefuloccasional treatment. of:consignments -by dealers ��������� in the big cities, is,also ,,but.vanother proof that the remedy for, a condition that robs the producer of the just'fruis of his'labor is still to seek. It was . this-condition'that-the Fraser Valley Development' League- set itself to -remedy,and some progress' was-made, but;lack of- support from the .'rural municipalities, the criticism, that is bound.to arise when any body is active in seeking to change old conditions, and the failure to make headway in the co-operative movement,-militated' against the ,:success of the League's efforts. The only visible result- of- the- expenditure, of much. money and -individual enthusiasm - has been the . creation of a; new government job which has ap- . parently become so important that the Valley interests,' which the ��������� appointment was to. serve, have-been overlooked,, and the net result is that a 'share of the Dominion government grant ��������� which should go to promoting the co-operative marketings idea, particularly i "from an -educational standpoint, helps to support the- salary of the Fraser Valley markets commissioner who either has been loaded with-so many-duties or. has not the 'inclination to undertake disagreeable duties connected with the office, that there is not that aid, support, direction or stimulus to the co-operative marketing idea.which was to be expected when the ' position was created. Without government leadership in this what success is o'be expected, when the well known strong individualism of the agricultural producers are known? The Department of Agriculture has shown that leadership counts in organizing the communty efforts of the people on the'farms by their support and encouragement to agricultural institutes. Why'could not-government leadership also make success of co-operative marketing in the Fraser Valley, and elsewhere in the province?" If the. Dominion government gives the province an agricultural grant for educational purposes,-that is- what it should be used for. The horticultural department at Victoria has* done a lot of good work in the past, but .-we do not -believe that department has as yet reached :its -limit of good work for the fruit growers of,the province; neiher do we ���������believe the department has done all it can do vto assist-the growers in the solving., of; their' problem of marketing the products of the Valley. We are even inclined to think there ���������are.;members of that department who know very, little for - what< they were appointed for except to draw their salary.

Da1Nod this 1'lth day of September, 191 G. A. J. .I-.11j]i\::WRSON, Applicant. (From Fraser Valley Record) The Board of Trade held their regular meeting on Thanksgiving evening with a good attendance. Several matters of importance were before the board for discussion Among these was the question of the ferry across the Fraser at Mission City. There was some inkling of a change of the service came to the ears of the board and the meeting took up the matter with its old vim and energy when ferry is mentioned. Some time ago a more extended service .was asked for���������from 6 a. m. to 12 p. m., and this resolution was again endorsed and will be I sent to Victoria, togther with a petition handed in to the board by a few of the business men of the town. Uicre is di f.r they seem further away. ��������� . If' the night is heavy, few stars are seen, but as the barometer changes more stars come into view. Then the cow-boy on guard says, "An other star out, Sir". The foreman tells him to double the guard and call him if, the cattle get restless. The -guard is doubled ,but the cattle grow restless apparently without roa- son. They have been lying close together chewing, their cuds but sudden lly got ii]) and walk round and round in circles. When the cowboys notice this they begin to sing very loud and the cattle genera Illy lie down again. if they do nol check the cattle a stampede is likely to occur, which is very dangerous, as wild cattle often kill men trampling ,.thorn under their feet rushing onward to their own destruction. According to cattlemen this sudden restlessness' is due to the change in the atmosphere as the steer unliko our modern cow is a high-strung and nervous animal. j An K.YCollent Idea ' At the suggestion of.

SILVER CROSS FOR MOTHERS While the discussion of the ferry was before the board it was agreed by those present who have occaslonto use the ferry that the service given by the present crew was good, in fact could1 not be better but that the traffic and the business interests of Matsqui and Mission demanded a service as asked for by the board. The extension of the time of the ferry may warrant a second crew being appointed. The fire committee will have the chemical engine fixed the money in the bank ,to-the credit of the committee being used for that purpose. But you should have seen the president's face when the motion of Messrs J.. A. Catherwood and M. F. Shook was read. That expression might be' put under three headings ���������first, one of surprise that some one had beat him to it, second, one of condemnation; and thirdly, one of approval unless some one did not a- gree with the motion... A poor lone bachelor had the courage to oppose the motion, and his first speech a^ the board was heard. The motion was laid on the table for a month un- 'til the important matter ��������� had been thoroughly discussed, when each member will receive due notice that his presence is required at the beard. The following was the motion' That this board views with pleasure the j:;tension of the franchise to the women of B. C and hereby invites the ivomen of the district co join tbo Mission City board of trade. The next meeting of the Board should be held on Monday, November 13 th. 1 see that my friend W .A. Fraser well-known as a Canadian novelist and short story writer, has been writing to the newspapers, suggesting that there might be a silver cross instituted for the mothers of Canadian soldiers who have fallen in battle. In' a communication to the Toronto Star, Mr. Fraser puts forward his suggestion as follows: "I would like to suggest that Canada might pay a beautiful and deserved tribute to the mothers of slain Canadian soldiers by having struck.a medal which-might be called the Silver Cross. Men could take off their hats when they met a woman with this medal on her breast, who would be known by this emblem to have made the sacrifice that Mary, made when she gave her Son for the good of men." The idea is a good and touching one, and I do not think that many people would object to it. Mr. Fraser makes no suggestion, apparently as to how it should be carried out. Should it not be done by the Federal Parliament, and the medals be struck at the mint at Ottawa?-���������Diogenes in Vancouver Province.
