A- mong those present were Mrs. Alexander, The Misses Muriel,, Celeste and Nerva Page, Miss Beharrell, Miss Machell, Misses Gertrude and Annie Smith, Misses Connie and Bessie Cruickshank, Miss Duncan, Miss.Mc- Lagan, Miss Pearl Alexander, Miss Shaw, Miss Kent, The Misses Crist, and Miss Purver. TWO OF A KIND . Two young officers in an Irish regiment of the same age, says the World, entered and left Sandhurst at the same time with equal credit; both fell on the same day in the same fight in France. The PatriotlcT'concert in aid of the Belgians, which had been eagerly looked forward to by, the people of Abbotsford and'surro'unding district was held in, the Alexandria Hall on Friday evening;'-October 23rd. To say that the concert was a grand, success from every point,of view would only be to express uVmildly. Such an aggregation of high class .talent was never before.gathered ��������� together on one program In Abbotsford and many were the exclamations, of delight heard frbm' all parts of the well filled hall.' People had come from far and wide to show their interest in such a worthy cause;and the evening will, long be remembered by' all those who were' fortunate to be present.. The seating'capacity of the hall was greatly overtaxed and the' S. R.' O. sign- was hung out ��������� long before the commencement "of proceedings. - The thanks of community are certainly due to Mrs. J. C. McLagan and daughters who were untiring in their efforts to make the concert the success it was. Every one,, of the twenty one members included in the program was a gem and from the' time the curtain rose at.8:30 until the closing tableau7 scene everything' went along with a swing arid a", dash , that displayed.good organization and manage ment. Among the singers Mrs. Mc- Kechnie and Mr.Foster from Vancouver and Miss. Alvina/Munn and Mr. A. E.. Alderice.;vin3re-Jfronii;Ne\y..West-, minister .'and' Chilliwack --'contributed Mr. Carmichael, Mrs.' Von Knobloch (nee Miss Hazel McLagan) and Mr. David Blair are .claimed by Abbotsford. All were in excellent -voice, and were heard at their .best. In | addition to the singers Miss Henderson, (Abbotsford) .gave a piano solo which was splendidly rendered. Mr. McMillan and Simon showed themselves to be past masters with the banjo The Sketch "Lady Jane" was well put on and showed careful rehearsal and last, but not by any means least the orchestra from Sumas, Wash., under thel capable leadership of Wm. Clarke rendered several catchy numbers which were highly appreciated. The accompanists- on piano to the singers were Miss Doris McLagan, Miss Henderson and Mr. D. Blair, Jr. ina very satisfactory manner. The rising of the curtains on the opening number dispayed a decorative scheme in keeping with the occasion The stage had been, artistically de- j corated with, flags, autumn leaves | and potted plants which gave a splen j did effect. The programmes were'all: hand written and quite a task for those capable people whoh ad this in hand. The programmes were offered for sale during the-.evening by Red Cross Nurses in the persons of Misses Mabel and Annie Nelson, Miss Mains, Miss Vivian Peele and Miss Dorothy Parton, whose efforts added a tidy sum to the proceeds. At the conclusion of this most excellent entertainment coffee 'that mother used to make', cake and sandwiches wrere provided to those who had helped to make the concert the great success it was. This feature was attended to by Mrs. Peele, Mrs. B. B. Smith and Mrs. Wiggins. Mr. J. A. Mc- Gowan acted as chairman for the evening The net proceeds totalled up $200 which sum has been'remitted to the Belgian Consul, Mr. Whitehead, at Vancouver. Well done Abbotsford!

There never was a problem in the life of a peoplo that was not capable of being worked out to the betterment of all concerned, no matter how lony' the solution may be in coming. Come it will, and sonietimes^quickcr than is expected. It is just a matter of business and brains. There is a problem before the settler of the Fraser Valley that deserves the best business brains in the Fraser Valley to solve. That problem is the marketiug of the produce of the soil of the Val- '��������� ley to such advantage that it will benefit the producer and not the consumer, or the middleman. The man who labors at any kind of work is entitled to the'full benefits of his-work (this is not Socialism, but a- commonsense view) and he who ��������� has the energy and the courage to go on to the land in this province or any other province, and carve out a home for-himself arid his family, if he has one', is entitled to all that his energy will sell for on the market to' the consumer,-in the shape of fruit, vegetables or any other product of> the' soil.- There should be no; ghoul sticking around for a slice of the profits���������:a parasite, some people would say. It is a known fact that the fruit- ' grower of the Fraser Valley has not yet at any time received the full total of his produce. There is always e_ch' year -a certain amount of loss to him through improper shipping, or improper packing (?) or some other kind of a scourge1 that makes the article'-bring, him less. It is common knowledge thats the poor farmer ��������� feeds the world,' without he himself receiveing the full benefits of his toil iri' cash ��������� or kind���������often not even a , kind" smile.' ' The selling agency,, or shall we call it a company, which the league , is forming,' may or may .not be the solution' of this problem, but ' this we all know that these companies similar to the one the league intends does profit the smlJa farmer when it' comes to selling him feed for his chickens, his cows or other articles of feed for the farm stock or fowl Many men will testify to the benefits derived by the formation of. the Poultry Association in Mission City, under the' management of our Mr. - Aikenhead. It is a success and has put hhndre'ds of dollars in the pockr pts'of the -.jeople around Miosion City The United Farmers of Maple Ridge i_ another striking example. If monej can be made for" the farmor by selling to him what is consumed on the land, why cannot money be made for the farmer by selling his produce? ..It ought to worK both ways.' FRIDAY, OCTOBER. 30, I!) 1.4 have watched that ho stands oh "the same basis as Martin. Why not trust to the Hon., Joseph's letter in the Vancouver World? Same distrust as ever! But someday when the political air is clear of the European war we can deal with these things and feel that we are not trespassing on forbidden ground.'. A writer in the Vancouver World seems to be full of the harmful and non-progressive influence of our present system of, banking. He has certainly, some very curious ideas about aiany things as expressed in a letter published in this issue from- the daily World.' He asks the question,- "What difference does it make to the business men and traders of Vancouver wheth- th'e government ' encourages settlement on the land or not" Of. course to selfish Vancouver���������and there are many in Vancouver of the same opinion as the World writer���������it makes no difference, as .the people there would rather have on their tables the'product of a foreign country than the products of the Fraser Valley, or any part of the province. Ask the fruit grower if this is'not right-.- - If the farmer of the Fraser Valley had to depend on the people of Vancouver for the purchase' and' consumption of the provincial products the farming community would' be in a sorrier plight than they are today. Any prosperity of the farming community of the province is not due to the kindness of the people of the City of Vancouver. But then' what's the use in saying anything���������it will be always the same.' The sons of the soil in the Fraser Valley these days are doing themselves proud in helping the needy in the coast cities ^by the shipment of products of the land, to the cities, free of cost. Such generosity cannot be forgotten in the days to ��������� come go- unrewarded���������even by Vancouver CONDEMN' THE NEW MUNICIPAL ACT OF B. C. Report of the Solicitor for Union.of British Columbia Municipalities Causes Debate The shares.of the new company are $50,.,'and 20' percent, or $10 down. It is presumed that not less tha.n one share will be sold to one person. Is this the practical conclusion after ail investigation is .ended-. $10 is a lot of money to many people nowadays, even the fruitgrower. Why not arrange it so that all the little fellows can get in too? According to an article ��������� published in another column of this issue from the Vancouver-Sun, the Liberal organ of the party in B. C, the .Hon. Joseph Martin and the president of the Liberal party in Vancouver, have set aside the bone of contention and will be hereafter members of the same fold. 'It Is up to some one now to set Hon. Joseph and Smith Curtis 'on thetsame footing now. But what about "Bob" Kelly the former Tammany of the Liberal party in B. C, Seventy-seven delegates were present at the opening session of the 10th annual convention of Union of British Columbia. Municipalities. Among those present ��������� were reeves and representatives of councils from all the parts of the province. Delegates were welcomed by Mr. J. T. Robinson, president and Mayor Crawford of Kamloops. An acrimonious discussion was maintained on the report issued by Mr. McDiarmid, solicitor of the Union, who strongly condemned the vicious principle embodied in the powers given to the Lieu-Gov. in- the new Municipal Act. After discussion the report was a- dopted Mr. McQuarrie, of New Westminster, being strongly in opposition and moving a vote practically of no confidence in the solicitor. Alderman Woodside of Vancouver read a paper on "Buy Made-in-Canada Goods" Exception was taken by Clerk Logie of Summerland, who said Vancouver manufacturers advocated buying Made-in-Canada goods, but would not buy British Columbia fruit, insisting on Washington produce. Aid. Enright, of Vancouver, said high freight rates were the principal' cause, Mr. Woodside's address was ordered to be printed. Inspector Baird, in the evening outlined the duty of his office. Some criticism was made about the power of 'the inspector to turn down a bylaw already passed by the people-but Mr. Baird made personally a great impression. - !'i. \ "cioman, in charge of thr Tranquil!?.

Dutcher, of Vancouver, coosi.it- ing engineer of the IC^mloops hydro- adversaries have attempted to create ill-feeling between the Liberal party and Mr. Martin. Mr.' Smith says: 1 i "Instead of- depending on newspaper despatches, i wrote at. once to Sir Wilfrid Laurier to get the ('acts which 'I consider should be satisfactory to all concerned. Mr. Martin has had some difference of opinion for years with the'Liberal' party policy, especially on the trade question as well as the British preference, being anxious to have the latter materially increased. My own opinion on- this matter has always been the same, as 1 expressed it in the house of commons when the reciprocity a- greement was under discussion. As far as Mr. Martin's opinions are concerned on this question, I have . always held the same views. "These differences between Mr. J. Martin and Sir Wilfrid Laurier "have been settled in favor of a stronger policy in favor of reduction of,duty on,farming implements and mining and mill machinery, and some material increase in the British preferuce. This is very pleasing t'o me and settles any difference between myself and Mr. Martin. Those differences in the past arose out of matters connected with provincial affairs, before there were any party lines in British Columbia, and have long since disappeared. In fact, so anxious was 1, as the president of1 the Vancouver Liberal Association, to get all true Liberals to settle their differences, that as soon as Mr. Martin arrived in Van couver from England, 1 -interviewed him at his hotel and invited him to join tbe party in Vancouver. "Mr.- Martin has always been a democrat and no one has ever questioned his honor in public life. ��������� These two things arc, in my opinion, the real qualifications for members of the Liberal party. He comes- into the party like everyone else, assuming no special authority but what-is given to him by the party, and what a majority of the party considers he merits This must be satisfactory to all true Liberals, for which I am personally- delighted. .

THE HOG MARKET The folowing is from .Seattle. ��������� Owing very largely to conditions in the South brought on by the European war the hog market of the United States- has not been in an ideal condition' from the standard of the 'hog raiser or the packer but the government advices from Washington indicate that they are on the mend and. that the'farmer who a few months from .now has a crop of hogs will relap'a, mighty handsome profit As a' rule the American packers aim about this time of the year to clean outthe stock they .have on hand and to be in the markets for a fresh supply. '- The South has always been a great, market for the "clean-up" but this year, owing tp the inability of the South to dispose of its cotton money in that section has been scarce I THAT LOOK OF SATISFACTION is in the face of every man fresh from' his morning plunge. But whether, the plunge is a delight, or. an unpleasant task to hurry through,, depends . on your bathroom.

On the contrary sales in that section have .decidedly fallen off and the packer has found himself with a big stock on hand. For that reason there has been more or less of a slump in the hog market-but the United States government officials a- gree that the slump is only temporary and urge farmers to- continue feeding and have their stock in fino shape for spring when the .demand will be ��������� something enormous. Just how the European war will end no one pretends to say but it is certain that it cannot last many more weeks The great loss of life coupled with the enormous cost are bound to be the' two great factors in bringing it to an end���������many experts predict by the first of the new Year.
