In the running race Walter Wells  was the winner; prize, the 'horse  laugh' on the others, and a bag of  gold.  PLEASED   TO   CORRECT   ERRORS  Should there be any errors in the  prize list published in this issue we  shall be pleased to correct same if  our attention is called to same.  THE DANCE WAS.A SUCCESS  Among the lady visitors to the  fair from Sumas were Mesdames McMillan Garrison, Post and Thomas.  ���������Never shove a man as you pass by.  It might not end right.  The Perriots performed in the big  black clouds; that's why the :rain-  drops were so big.  Mr. Percy Wilson    of    Chilliwack  was a visitor to the fair.  Mr. Malcolm of Huntingdon was a  visitor to the fair.  The pro-German editor of the joke  sheet of Whatcom county was seen on  the street, supported by B. von' Long-  feller.  A notice appeared on the walls  of the hall announcing the fact that  the government would carry on a  packing school in the district during  the; coming winter if enough encouragement were given by having the desired pupils. No one is too old to  learn apple packing. It is the mo.dern  way to ship apples and adds greatly  to th beauty of good apples, in other  "districts gray-haired men and young  men have stood side by side ia the  learning of the important facts of  how to pack apples well.      Those in  ��������� tending to take a course if a class  were started in Abbotsford should  ���������.-end their names in to the Horticultural department at Victoria or this  paper will undertake to send in any  names sent to the Abbotsford Post.  The dance given by the association  in the hall in the evening was a success, about 25 0 people dancing to the  music of a local orchestra.  The proceeds will add greatly to  the surplus funds-of the fair.  TELL  YOUR  FRIENDS  ABOUT  IT  The next big fair on this side of  the river in which we-are all interested is the Matsqui fair to be held on  Friday���������Friday is visitors' day and  Thursday is exhibitors' day.  In conversation with the secretary  Mr. A. Bates of Mt. Lehman on Saturday Sept 19, Mr. Bates stated that  the association had ample funds to  pay all prizes in cash which they intended to do, and he wished every  exhibitor to understand that he was  to get all his prizes in good hard  cash,'the same as other years.  Now Les get busy and see how many  prizes you c'an cjirry away from the  other fellows.  A large troiit was recently taken  in local waters by W. Cambell. The  fish is reported to have measured in  the neighborhood of thirty-six inches. We did not have the pleasure  of seeing .this rare specimen but the  information has been given to us as  being authentic.    Some fish.  The Huntingdon Merchantile Co.  is reported as selling oif their stock.  The Electric Lumber company of  Huntingdon has closed down indefinitely.  News comes easy this week L���������w  same as the May Day grab.  , Mr. Merryfield the reeve of Matsqui  opened the fair at 2 p. m in a few  well chosen words; while Reeve Munro ot Sumas ��������� closed 'the fair in the  hall.  Jupiter Pluvius .was present at the  Abbotsford fair, most of the day and  did some excellent' work in the way  ot exhibition rain, which was possibly  at times the best exhibition of rain  ever seen in Abbotsford.  Determination'to make the big fail  av.success did not however deter the  people from arriving with their exhibits, and with a pleasant smile even if wet through.'   ���������     "  On Thursday evening, the day,for  making the entries there was a crowd  at McCallum's office, waiting to have  their entry tickets "made out, and kept  a whole host of clerks busy. There  were over 600 entries, made on that  evening and the next morning some  2 00 more entries were made making  in all abuot 800 entries for a small  exhibition like Abbotsford which can  be considered .-"(ery good. Owing to  the' rain however' not" air the articles  were exhibited, as it takes pretty good  courage to go out in the rain to  collect articles for exhibition.

THE ABBOTSFORD POST.  ^ Published Every Friday by The Post Publishing Company,  A weekly Journal devoted to the interests of Abbotsford and district  Advertising  rates   made   known  on   application  Our   Shibboleth���������Neither   for   nor   agin'   the   Government  FRIDAY,   SFPT.   3 8th,   1914  It looks as though the Germans,were in as pretty  a mess as ever was any nation in- the history of  modern times.    It will be right in to Berlin yet for  the allied armies for the Germans havo'-got so used  '''to running they will not know when to stop.  In another part of this paper we publish an account of a meeting held by the board of trade of  Mission City, asking that the Vancouver board of  trade of Vancouver deal 'drastically' with one certain Mr. Fee, for disloyalty to his country by stating, during times of war, that Candada should join'  a foreign country so that she could keep out of the  war trouble���������that it would add much to the prosperity of Canada.,  It is poor judgment to advocate such a thing at  the present time, and is indeed in very bad taste  It also shows that the gentleman is not keeping up  with the histry of modern times, or he should get  out and boost that the United States should come  and join Great Britain, break away from the ties  that makes them an independent country���������rconie  back home and join in hand with a country that is  doing them more good today than was ever dreamt  of.    In union there is strength.  ,    It is claimed that Germany was oneof the largest  manufacturing countries of the world  and  figures  are given to show that this is the case. These articles will still have to be manufactured to supply the  foreign trade, but not by Germany as her days for  supplying the foreign  markets are past  for  some  time to come.    They will have to be manufactured  by some other country.     The United States is making a big bid for much of this trade and are capable  of supplying the market to a very great extent; and  .Great Britain has as much as said 'go to it Uncle  Sam and we will see that your merchant ships are  protected on the high seas'    To back up this encouragement  Great  Britain has bottled up  in the  Baltic Sea the only real enemy that the merchant  ships   of   the   United   States   would   have.     Great  Britain is at this time as much of a protector to  the merchant ships of the United States as she is to  her own or to Canada's ships.    The United States  being a free and independent country according to  their own statementts, owing, allegiance to no one  country, by accepting the protection of Great Britain's navy in the carrying out of the commercial  progress of the United States is accepting a favor   ���������  from Canada's' motherland that unites us all very  closely.    What does the United States intend to do  to return this favor which means commercial pro's-,  perity to her���������forget her independence and come  join Canada and become a part of the Greatest Empire the world has ever known.  If Mr. Fee would get out and advocate a doctrine  such  as  the  above  and   lay  the  matter  fair  and-  square before those good American friends of his he  .   might get greater support in  his arguments,   and  ��������� would be doing the. American friends.of his a favor  ��������� which they possibly would never forget, 'for if this  . fatherly rotection is good in times of war a closer  relationship to John Bull, with the protection of his  navy for all time to come, should surely prove an  immense boon to a young country with a great future before it. Think it over Mr. Fee.  It is not our intention to enumerate the many  cold hard fact reasons, why Canada should not join  the United States���������they are many and important to  Canada, but the above should be convincing enough  to show that it is unnecessary to tell in what better position Canada is today than if she joined the  land of the Stars and Stripes.  If there are many young men going from Canada  to the United States to better their condition, there  are also many from,, he United States coming to  Canada to better their condition���������men of maturer  judgment who realize that the prairie lands of  Canada are under, present conditions much more  desirable than their former homes of the American  allegiance.  . . Canada ;is proud of her young men who have gone  to the United States to better their condition for  with bu few exceptions they have done well.  Some day they will come back wiser and better  men for having mingled with a great people.  ABBOTT'S WEEKLY MARKET REPORT  Markets have indeed been sluggish during the  past two weeks, The demand for fruits seemingly  has almost entirely vanished. This no doubt was  caused in plums and prunes by over supply as well  as money conditions. More plums and prunes have  been sold this year in this city than in any two combined years heretofore. At present a very large  amount of prunes are still hanging in Vancouver unsold. Many of these have been exposed tor. sale  to my knowledge fifteen days.  Most sections of the Fraser Valley have sent in  excellent quality, showing very little plum rot, while  a few have been very badly affected, but nevertheless the wholesaler has admitted on many different  occasions that the Fraser Valley has the goods if  they would be more particular in their grading, and  per shape, we would have no competition.      Your  packing, and put their fruits on the market in pro-  markets commissioner after spending a great deal of  time in making investigations in this line, has become thoroughly convneed that our valley can produce certain varieties that for quality have no equal  Mere will be said along this line in the final report  which  will  deal  with  the good and bad as found  on the market and the farm.  Tomatoes   have   been   too   plentiful  this  season,  Peaches offering today are  all  Yakirnas,  etc.���������  NOTICE  Strayed  unto my premises on the  Vye Road,, one year old steer, coior,  red, and white. -Owner can have  same ' by paying expenses^ If not  claimed within thirty days it will be  sold to defray expenses.

C.���������the Okanagan apparently being content  to allow these markets to again slip.from their  hands and use it only for'inferior class'of plums,  prunes, etc. If tlie Okanagan would hold these  markets for one straight year they would have no  trouble in getting their, prices, but when thoy shove  in' several cars and get the wholesalers handling  their goods and "immediately fail to supply the  'Tow" with the required goods the jobber is compelled to buy outside. This matter is. merely  touched upon for the purpose'of making a point  for our growers to consider so that they, will be  able and willing to guard against this method of  supplying a market. ...  The city markets were fairly well attended during the past week and managers claim  big sales.  The prices in the cities at present are as follows: Apples, 80c to $1.25; Pears. Bartletts, 80c  to $1.25; ���������     - -,  Some growers arc shipping in Bussock and Carl-  gean pears. This is very bad for these cannot  be sold. These are several weeks in advance of  their time and very immature.  Crabs, I-lyslop,  $1.50;  retailing at 5c per pound  Transeucent Crabs,  G5c to 80c.  Florence,   anything.  Peaches, Yakinias at 70c,  Okanagans sold Wednesday, at 70c.  Plums, Lombards 40c, Ponds 50c to UOc.  Italian   and   sugar  prunes   very  slow   at   50c  to ���������  60c,  one man selling five tons for $23.50 per ton  Blackberries,   $2.25       c-       .  Celery,  O. K. ,40c per dozen;  very fine but demand slow.  Kelowna Cants, plentiful; grading poor but the  quality excellent. These people apparently have .  not got the right variety, as many of them are  quite different to he "Yaks" We beliove there is  a great future for this industry, especially if they  can be produced cheap enough for to conio into  general use.  Saw some fine wealthies from Kelowna; free  from blemish, and would easily grade No. 1 These  were shipped in the ordinary apple box as orchard  run or loose pack. Many comments were made  as to the folly of this method of sending No.' 1  apples into markets. These will bring a much less  pricethan that saved in the co3t of- packing, and  grading, and the shipper will -no doubt find it out  to his sorrow that .it was a "penny wise and pound  foolish" policy.  Tomatoes and peaches are going to go up in  price next week while the tendency will be to  lower the price of apples. - Large shipments of  local apples are coming in; some very fine Graven-  steins and Wealthies, Cellina Pippin and Wolfe  Rivers are being offered.  Very large offerings, of poultry^and young pigs  which are bringing only a fair price.    Veal 15 c to   .  17c.  Dressed  hogs  lie;   live   8c.    Old  sheep,   12c  lamb 14c ' '  Potatoes   are   coming  in  too   plentiful   for  this  time of the year as they are not matured enough  for storing and owing to this they become "winded"  and  skin very  easily,   and  turn   green.    This  goes against the quality and consequently the price  is   $15   to   $2 0 per  ton.

C.  Abbott.  The League has placed their markets commissioner at the disposal of the citizens' committees  in New Westminster and Vancouver and he is  ready and willing to assist the farmers inany part  cf the Valley in arranging for the transportation  of produce, etc., to these funds.  In speaking to a representative of this paper Mr.  Abbott made a strong appeal for potatoes. Potatoes  will be the greatest quantity of any kind of 'produce needed and as the committeees have made arrangements  for storing these ' for the  winter the  markts  commissioner suggests  that all the  farmers in the Valley who are not connected up with  any local organization write him stating the quantity of potatoes they will give to these funds, he  would  then   be :able  to  complete  satisfactory  arrangements  in  the   different  districts  for  carload  lots.    If  this  could  be done  this would help out  the  transportation   companies  a  great   deal.    The  Fraser Valley crop of potatoes this year is estimated at  96,000 sacks   (undug)   or over 3000  cars.  If  each   former would  give  a  few we  should  be  able to meet the requirements easily.    Besides potatoes, the committees will need carrots, and turn-  ipe, etc.    Many growers at the present time have  a large quantity of apples that are affeected with  the apple scab and are relly not fitted for mrket-  ing purposes.    These put up in sacks or any kind  of a box would be very acceptable. The committees  will not object to donations of table corn, onions  table squash, cabbage, or any kind of vegetables.  The markets commissioner is ready to assist any  organization or individuals in this matter.  Address your correspondence for information to  R. C. Abbott, Markets Commissioner, F. V. D.

Lehman and the  Deroche boys. . Deroche did- well to  attend the fair considering the prospects for a rainy day when they started from home in the morning, but  then rain is one of the least to be  feared setbacks for footballers.  The game- was pulled off in the afternoon and was watched by a large  number of people, both interested in  seeing which of the visitors to. the  fair would win the day  From start to finish the game belonged to Mt. Lehman, and the captain of the Mt Lehman team should  be proud of his team, as if they improve as much accordingly as they  have done since they last played in  Mission City, they should stand a  good chance against the best in the  valley Some of the players are developing a speed on the field that will  before the season is over win for the  teams many games'..  The goals at the close of the game  stood 3 to nil, say it' slow and it will  not sound so, harsh, Deroche.      ��������� "  In the first half Auburn mdae'' a  score for Mt. Lehman; in the second  half the scorers were Auburn and  Lehman each with one.  Possibly the most brilliant playing  was during the second half whon Mt.  Lehman was playing up hill and kept  ilie nail clc^e to the Deroche goal all  tlie time. Deroche had a good goal  keeper cr Mt Lehman would havee  made a much larger score as there'  were shots innumerable stopped by  Deroche's goalkeeper Gough, and Kid  well played' star games each one- of  them. ���������  The Deroche boys seemed a htt.e  out of practice and probably liketne  Germans 'out of breath' but the boys  will undoubtedly win back.their.old-  time vigor and art'of playing as1 the  team advances.

Abbotsford Timber & Trading Co.  Reeve Cade has received instructions from the Hon. Chairman of the  Canadian Patriotic Fund, asking that  he call a meeting for the purpose of  forming a local branch of the Provincial organization. In respose to  this the Reeve has called a meeting  for Tuesday, September 22nd at 8 p.  m. in the council chambers, when all  interested are requested to be present.  The provincial office.of the Canad-.  ia'n Patriotic Fund is ,in the parlia-r  ment buildings at Victoria, the" Hon.  the Lieu.-Gov. :T. W. Paterson, being  the honorary chairman, Sir Richard  McBride is the provincial president  and Mr. F. . S. Barnhard, M. P. of  Victoria being the.honorary secretary  The Dominion officers are: Patron,  His Majesty the King; President; the  Field-Marshall His Highness , the-  Duke Connaught and of Strathearn,  K. G., K. T., K. P., G. C. B.., tc; The /  Honorary Secretary is Herbert B.  Aems', Esq.,' M. P. and the Hon.-Treas  is Hon. Wm. T. White, M. P., Minister of Finance.  . Similar branches to the one which  Tuesday's meeting is being called for  are being formed in all the cities and  municialities throughout the Province  in adition to which the various local  government agents are being asked  to act as receivers for the fund' in  unorganized districts.  At the very commencement of. the  war and as soon as Canadian soldiers  began to' mobilize for active service.  the question  arose as to  how their  families were to be maintained during their absence.      In not a few instances   generous   minded   emloyers  offered to continue to' pay wages as  formerly   whole   or  in   part  to   the  families of the men who had been, in  their service. Many cases which were  unprovided for, however, came, under  local notice and' funds were started  in several of our'large cities-to care  for  such.    It  soon  became  evident  that while- certain districts could provide well for.the families within the  boundaries, there would be other cases,   equally, deserving, In   danger of  being  overlooked.    Hence  came the  demand for a- central or national fund  that would stand behind and consoli-.  date local effort and step in wherex  this fell short.  In ansewer to numerous requests  His Royal Highness the Governor-  General of Canada took the iniative'  in this matter, and the Canadian Patriotic Fund was organized, with His  Majesty the King as patron. It is a  body corporate by.virtue of an Act of  Parliament, and is empowered to collect, adminster, and distribute a fund  for the assistance in case of need of  the wives, children, and dependent  relatives of officers and men, resident ���������  in Candada, who, during the present  war, may be on active service with  tha naval and military forces of the  British Empire and Great Britain's  allies. This central body has a dlstin- ���������  guished list of vice-presidents and an  executive committee made up of lead  ing men from every Province of the  Dominion, and including representatives of both political parties and races.  The Canadian Patriotic Fund is gi- ���������  ven power by its charter "to establish  branches or local organizations elsewhere through Canada, and co-operate with any. association or organization elsewhere in any place in Canada,  for purposes similar to those of the  corporation" The first step in the  direction of united effort was taken '  when the Patriotic Fund Association  of 1900, which had administered relief during and since the Boer "War,  decided to dissolve and to turn over  its unexpended balance, amounting to  nearly $79,000, to the new fund.  Then local organizations that had already begun work in Montreal and  Toronto, asked to be admitted as bran  dies of the Canadian Patriotic Fund  and were duly accepted. A full  measure of autonomy is granted to  these local bodies, yet, for the' sake  (Continued on Page Four)  ���������<������*1       -       ,-. ��������� -,__...,  -   ������������������   I   n r- ��������� -���������-.     .  ���������    -        , OTHKKft  ^Xm.^^^':!7^y"nrV^^\^t&^"'^TT^\V!I  "^71WM.Kl*r-^rtu^r ww > jjjvsr  ���������xtfprvl"  F   ->    fri     ������w  "\r  ,._..,  y<-sr THE ABBOTSFORD POST, ABBbTSifoRb, &.  0.

It will be right in to Berlin yet for  the allied armies for the Germans have got so used  to running'"they will not know when to stop.  Tn another part of this paper we publish an account of a meeting held by the board of trade ot  Mission City, asking that tho Vancouver board of  trade of Vancouver deal 'drastically' with one certain Mr. Fee, for disloyalty to his country by stating, during times of war, that Candada should join'  a foreign country so that she could keep out of the  war trouble���������that it would add much to the prosperity of Canada.  It is poor judgment to advocate such a thing at  the present time, and is indeed in very bad taste  It also shows that the gentleman is not keeping up  with the histry of modern times, or ho should get  out and boost that the United States should come  and join Great Britain, break away from the ties  that makes them an independent country���������come  back home and join in hand with a country that is  doing them more good today than was ever dreamt  of.    In union there is strength.  It is claimed that Germany was oneof the largest  manufacturing countries of the world and  figures  are given to show that this is the case. These articles will still have to be manufactured to supply the  foreign trade, but not by Germany- as her days for  supplying the foreign  markets arc  past  for some  time to come.    They will have to be manufactured  by some other country.     The United States is making a big bid for much of this trade and are capable  of supplying the market to a,very great extent; and  .Great Britain has as much as said 'go to it Uncle  Sam and we will see that your merchant ships are  protected on the high seas'    To back up this encouragement  Great Britain  has bottled up  in the  Baltic Sea the only real enemy that the merchant  ships   of   the   United   States   would   have.     Great  Britain is at this time as much of a protector to  the merchant ships of the United States as she is to  ��������� her own or to Canada's ships.    The United States  being a free and independent country according to  their own statementts, owing allegiance to no one  country, by accepting the protection of Great Britain's navy in the carrying out of the commercial  progress of the United States is accepting a favor  from Canada's' motherland that unites us all very  closely.    What does the United States intend to do  to return this favor which means commercial prosperity to her���������forget her independence and  come  join Canada and become a part of the Greatest Empire the .world has ever known.  If Mr. Fee would get out and advocate a doctrine  such' as the above and lay the matter fair and  square before those good American friends of his he  might get greater support in his arguments, and  would be doing the American friends.of his a favor  which they possibly would never forget, 'for if this  fatherly rotection is good in times of war a closer  relationship to John Bull, with the protection of his  navy for all time to come, should surely prove an  immense boon to a young country with a great future before it. Think it over Mr. Fee.  It is not our intention to enumerate the many  cold hard fact reasons^ why Canada should not join  the United States���������they are many and important to  Canada, but the above should be convincing enough  to show that it is unnecessary to tell in what better position Canada is today than if she joined the  land of the Stars and Stripes.  If there are many young men going from Canada  to the United States to better their condition, there  are also many from, he United States coming to  Canada to better their condition���������men of maturer  judgment who realize that the prairie lands of  Canada are under, present conditions much more  desirable than their former homes of the American  allegiance.  Canada lis proud of her young men who have gone  to the United States to,, better their condition for  with bu few exceptions they have done well.  Some day they will come back wiser and better  men for having mingled with a great people.  ABBOTT'S WEEKLY MARKET REPORT  Markets have indeed been sluggish during the  past two weeks, The demand for fruits seemingly  has almost entirely vanished. This no doubt was  caused in plums and prunes by over supply as well  as money conditions. More plums and prunes have  been sold this year in this city than in any two combined years heretofore. At present a very large  amount of prunes are still hanging in Vancouver unsold. Many of these have been exposed for sale  to my knowledge fifteen days.  Most sections of the Fraser Valley have sent in  excellent quality, showing very little plum rot, while  a few have been very badly affected, but nevertheless the wholesaler has admitted on many different  occasions that the Fraser Valley has the goods if  they would be more particular in their grading, and  per shape, we would have no competition.      Your  packing, and put their fruits on the market iu pro-  markets commissioner after spending a great deal of  time in making investigations in this line, has become thoroughly convneed that our valley can produce certain varieties that for quality have no equal  More will be said along this line in the final report  which will  deal  with  the good and bad as found  on the market and the farm.  Tomatoes  have  been   too   plentiful  this  season,  Peaches  offering today are all  Yakirnas,  etc.���������  APPEALS *OR POTATOES  (From the British Columbian)  There is always a time in the life of a person  when that person has a chance to "do unto others  as he would nave them do unto him" The time  is now ripe for the farmers of the Valley to take  aovantage of this chance and assist in some way  the Citizens' War Fund of the cities, says Markets  Commissioner  R.   C.   Abbott. -  The League has placed their markets commissioner at the disposal of the citizens' committees  in. New Westminster and Vancouver and he is  ready and willing to assist the farmers inany part  of the Valley in arranging for the transportation  of produce, etc., to these funds.  In speaking to a representative of this paper Mr.  Abbott made a strong appeal for potatoes. Potatoes  will be the greatest quantity of any kind of 'produce needed and as the committeees have made arrangements  for storing these - for the  winter  the  markts  commissioner  suggests that all  the  farmers in the Valley who are not connected up with  any local organization write him stating the quantity of potatoes they will give to these funds, he  would  then   be  able  to  complete satisfactory  arrangements  in  the   different  districts  for  carload  lots,    If this could  be  done  this would  help  out  the  transportation  companies' a  great  deal.    The  Fraser Valley crop pf potatoes this year is estimated at 96,000 sacks   (undug)   or over 3000  cars.  If  each   former  would  give  a   few  we  should, be  able to meet the requirements easily.    Besides potatoes, the committees will need carrots, and turn-  ipe, etc.    Many growers at the present time have  a large quantity of apples that are affeected with  the apple scab and are relly not fitted for mrket-  ing purposes.    These put up in sacks or any kind  of a box would be very acceptable. The committees  will not object to donations of table corn, onions  table squash,  cabbage, or any kind of vegetables.  The markets commissioner is ready to assist any  organization or individuals in this matter.  Address your correspondence for information to  R. C. Abbott, Markets Commissioner, F. V. D.

C.���������the Okanagan apparently being content  to allow these markets to again slip from their  hands and use it only for"inferior class of plums,  prunes, etc. If the Okanagan would hold these  markets for one straight year they would have no  trouble in getting their prices, but when they shove,  in several cars and get the wholesalers handling  their goods and immediately fail to supply the  "row" with the required goods the jobber is compelled to buy outside. This matter is, merely  touched upon for the purpose of making a point  for our growers to consider so that they, will be  able and willing to, guard against this method of  supplying a market.'  The city markets were fairly well attended' during the-past week and  managers claim  big sales.  The prices in the cities at, present are as' follows: Apples, 80c'to $1.25; Pears. Bartletts, SOc  to $1.25;  Some growers are shipping in Bussock and Carl-  gean pears. This is very bad for these cannot  be suld. These are several weeks in advance of  their time and very immature.  Crabs, Hyslop,  $1.50;  retailing at 5c per pound  Transencenf Crabs,  G5c to 80c.  Florence,   anything.

Many comments were made  as to the folly of this method of sending No. 1  apples into markets. These will bring a much less  pricethan that saved in the cost of- packing, and  grading, and the shipper will no doubt find it out  to his sorrow that.it was a "penny wise and pound  foolish" policy.  Tomatoes and peaches are going to go up in  price next week while the tendency will be to ���������  lower the price of apples.

Lehman and'the  Deroche boys. Deroche did- well to  attend the fair considering the prospects for a rainy day when they started from home in the morning, but  then rain is one of the least ��������� to be  feared setbacks for footballers.  The game-was pulled.off in the afternoon and was watched by a.large  number of people, both interested in  seeing which of the visitors to the  fair would win the day  From start to finish the game belonged to Mt. Lehman, and the captain" of the Mt Lehman team should  bo proud of his team, as if they improve as much accordingly as they  have done since they last played in  Mission City, they should stand a  good chance against the best in the  valley Some of the players are developing a speed on the field that will  before the season is over win for'tlie  teams many games..  The goals at the close of the game  stood 3 to nil, say it slow and it will  not sound so harsh, Deroche.  In the first'half' Auburn mdae'' a  score for'Mt. Lehman; in the second  half the scorers were Auburn and  Lehman each with one.  Possibly the most brill'iant playing  was-during the second half whan Mt.  Lehman was playing up hill and ke'pt  iho nail ilrse to-the Deroche goal all  the time. Deroche had a good goal  keeper cr'Mt i^ehman would havee  mads a much larger score as there  were shots innumerable stopped by  De'roche's goalkeeper Gough, and Kid  well played-star games each one of  them. ���������  The Deroche boys seemed a htLe  out of practice and-probably liketne  Germans 'out of breath' but the boys  will undoubtedly win back.their old-  time'vigor and art'of playing as'the  team advances.    '  The following was the line up:  Mt.- Lehman���������Goal, J.' G. Aitken.  Backs:   G: Kidwell and A. Rucker.  Half Backs. C. Gough, Ii. Bose and  J. Patterson.  Forwards, N. Auburn, A.

In respose to"  this the Reeve has called a meeting  for Tuesday, September 22nd at 8 p.  'm. in the council chambers, when all ,  interested are requested to be present.  The provincial office of the Canadian Patriotic Fund is in the parliament buildings at Victoria, the Hon.  the Lieu.-Gov. T. W. Paterson, being  the honorary chairman, Sir Richard  McBride is the provincial president .  and Mr. F: .S. Barnhard, M.

Similar branches to the one which *  Tuesday's meeting is being called for  are being formed in all the cities and  municialities throughout the Province  in adition to which the various local '  government agents are being asked  to act as receivers for the fund in  unorganized districts.  At the very commencement of the  war and as soon as Canadian ^soldiers    _  began to' mobilize for active service  the question  arose as" to  how their  families were' to be maintained during their absence.      In not a few in- .  stances   generous   niinded .emloyers  offered to' continue to' pay wages as  formerly   whole   or   in   part   to   the  families of the men who had been.in  their service.'Many cases which were,  unprovided for, however, came under  local notice and funds were started  in several of our'large cities-to care  for  such.    It   soon   became  evident  that while, certain districts could provide well for the families within the  boundaries, there would be other cases,   equally  deserving,  In   danger  of  being  overlooked..   Hence came  the  demand for a central or national fund'  that -would stand behind and consoli-,  date local effort and step in wherev  this fell short. <  In ansewer to numerous- requests  His Royal Highness the    Governor-  General of Canada took the iniative'  in this matter, and the Canadian Pa-    .  triotic Fund was organized, with His  Majesty the King.as patron.    It is a  body corporate by virtue of an Act of  Parliament, and is empowered to collect, adminster, and distribute a fund ..  for the assistance in case of need of.  the wives,  children,  and  dependent  relatives of officers and men, resident  .,  in Candada, who, during the present,  war, may be on active service with    ,  the naval and military forces of the    '  British Empire  and  Great Britain's   j  allies. This central body has a distin- ���������  guished list of vice-presidents and an   :  executive committee made up of lead   ���������  ing men from every Province of the  j  Dominion, and including representa-   '  tives of both political parties and ra-  i  ces.

Ladies' auxiliaries are invaluable  in -visiting the soldiers' wives and  families, and .supplying the intimate  [���������personal touch which often proves  quite as necessary as financial assistance. ��������� ' ���������      "  .might be classed as follows:  (1) To, have 'a just claim on the  fund, it may be shown that at the  time of reporting for ' duty soldier  was actually residing in Canada and  was su porting the wife, family, or  dependent relative who now applies  for  aid.  (2) The fund recognizes as being  on the same basis, not only Canadian  Volunteers and Regulars, but also  British 'Army and Navy Reservists,  and Fronch, Belgian Servian, and Rus  sian Reservists, who, leaving dependents in Canada, may have gone to  join the colors. , ��������� These soldiers are  all fighting side by side for a common cause, and their families in Canada are entitled to equal consideration.  (3 Again, aid can be'granted only  while the soldier is-on'active service  It may commence however, as soon  as 'he gives up his employment or  leaves his homo, and bo continued as  long as he is with his regiment, allowing  reasonable  time  for. his   re  turn journey to Canada.  > (4) The names of families claiming help should'be transmitted to the  central executive for verification and  record.
