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. ARCHIE EVERALL. Huntingdon,'August 25th, 1914. zssasi no B. 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. Seveeral cars have been shipped east this season, and owing to conditions we expect spuds will be a good price. Farmers are advised not to ship potatoes in consignment Make your deal first. DATES SET FOR (Mission City Sept 21 and. 23 ' FALL EXHIBITIONS Maple Ridge .........Sept -23 and 24- jBurquitlam Sept. 26. , The following are the dates set for Surrey Sept ,22. the Fall Fairs throughout the lower '-a"S'ley Sept 23 Mainland: ���������, Matsqui Sept 24 and 25 ��������� / APPEALS FOR 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 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. 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 a-Airta: FRIDAY, S10PT. 18th, J 914 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 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.

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.

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 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. ' Large shipments of local apples are coming in; some very fine Graven- steins and Wealthies, Cellina Pippin and Wolfe Rivers are being offered.

This goes against the quality and consequently the price is %li> to $20 per ton. Seveeral cars have been shipped east this season, and owing to conditions we expect spuds will be a good price.

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. Lehman, I-I.

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 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. 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. EL, 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 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. The Canadian Patriotic Fund is gi- '��������� ven power by its charter "to establish branches or local organizations else- ��������� where through Canada, and co-oper- , ate 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 re-j lief 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 a!-; ready begun work in Montreal and: Toronto, asked to be admitted as bran cites of the Canadian Patriotic Fund and were duly accepted.
