You and your fellow workers | The people of the town of Bella Coola showed the high esteem in which they hold their pastor, Rev. T. C. Colwell, by turning out in large numbers to listen to his farewell sermon on last Sunday evening. He has found it his duty to obey the country's call for men to come to her defense in this war, and while our community regret very much to lose him, and as we hope only for a short time, yet it is willing to suffer inconveniences and loss that the needs of our country may be met. The services were of the usual character, Mr. Colwell true to his custom delivered a carefully prepared and scholarly sermon, which held the close attention of the audience to its finish. Rev. VV. H. Gibson followed in an appreciative and happy speech dwelling upon the energy, singleness of purpose, and faithfulness of the departing minister. The audience showed its sympa- thv with his utterances bv a rising vote of thanks to Mr. Colwell. We learn through a letter from Chas. Lord that he has enlisted in the Ambulance Corps and is now in barracks at Victoria.

Some of the ladies have had the method of raising the money asked for, as outlined in the letter, under consideration and have concluded it is not to be commended in the community. They have decided to aid the very- worthy cause by appointing Mrs. H. G. Anderson, Mrs. S. Le C. Grant and Miss Ruth Nordschow, receivers of donations. There will be no canvass made, but readers of this article are asked to please assist by sending contributions of any amount to one of the ladies named, who will account for the same and forward the funds received to headquarters. in a comparatively short time became very prosperous.

One of the things necessary .to . be done to preserve the integrity of the.nation is to defend it .against;'its foes, and it is the duty of those who compose that nation to be in readiness to do so when called upon. But in a ^ world more or less selfish there will always be found . people who shirk their obvious , duty and leave it for others to r. dp it for them. It does not seem - right that the laws of the land should uphold these shirkers and thereby place an undue amount of the pommon burden upon the . shoulders of the more generous and conscientious of its citizens. It may be a just cause for pride -.that-the army, the British Empire has raised for this war, is the largest volunteer army in the World's history; but we are, at present, not looking for things on which to pride ourselves, we are rather striving to accomplish that which we must do. There is not much doubt in our minds that among the other enlightened . nations of thejvorld in a similar emergency just as large a proportion of their sons would have shouldered arms in their coun- " try's defense. When we see how Canada, of all the British possessions is lagging behind in the number of soldiers enlisted, we are not exactly proud, but become painfully aware that our men have not yet fully realized their duty in the case and the seriousness of the situation, and therefore do not the other is "out" and; therefore, such a fierce jealousy takes hold of the "outs'"-so that they will use almost any kind of-means to secure the places of- those- who are so fortunate as to be feeding from the public crib;- but the dif- jference in two parties.should al- : ways be a difference of opinion In regard to what policies are for the best interest of the nation.. Under- the present system .of government it seems impossible to secure the necessary efficiency and scrupulous care in _the administration of- public affairs without a party in opposition of day.' - Both Conservatives and Liberals should insist on the strictest economy in all the branches of government; neither party can afford to defend until-the last minute a course which they in their innermost soul- know is wrong. .As for instance in the case of the accusation and exposure of .the corruption of the late Roblin government of Manitoba. The Conservative leaders and press defended this government until it was. impossible to do so any longer and largely because of this foolish defense went down toT ignominious defeat in the next election. - The Conservatives of -British Columbia are pursuing the same foolish tactics in defending a government which has made this the wealthiest province in the factory. It took him over two months to make up his mind what answer would/give him the greatest strength; with the voters/ And in this decision it seems to us his judgment has failed him. His answer is of a character to alienate many while it will win but few. The request of the Prohibition Convention held in Vancouver, August 25 and 26, were two fold: That a bill for the prohibition of the liquor traffic similiar to the one. endorsed by the electors of Alberta, July 21, 1915, be submitted to "the voters of British Columbia; and that this bill be submitted on a date other than that of a general election, in order to keep it from being entangled in partisan politics.

The following questions have been found of sufficient magnitude to form the cleavage between two great political parties, namely: the effect of a high or low -tariff; whether to build war vessels to' be added to the fleet of the Empire, or to build up a separate Canadian navy; how 'to get "the best results from the agricultural and timber lands belonging to the Crown. On these and any number of other serious matters there will by capitalists and-laborers alike. -We venture to assert that there is not a province in Canada where the hard times are so pronounced as here, and the cause cannot be laid at failures of crop on either land or/sea, or a lack of other natural resources.

To a mind warped' by av long practice of shuffling methods and evading issues, this may seem very fair and the only way of submitting the question; but the result of such a manner of submission will certainly defeat the object sought. The voters mind wiH be confused by having to choose from several propositions he has not studied very muiih, if at all. It will bring, about no decision'as to choice; no one of the propositions will, short of a miracle, receive a majority of the votes cast- And then when this result has been obtained our friends, if in power, will laugh in their sleeves and solemnly tell the people that the vote was undecisive arid that they had received is Very anxious that the -people no mandate from the people to shall have an opportunity to express their idea of just what they want; that he is considering a series of different propositions to submit to rthe electorate, so that they can choose what suits them best, and by the result of the vote the' government will know just what sort of measure take any further action. The Premier's reply as to the vote being taken on a day separate from that of the general election is unfavorable. Sir Richard says that probably only about fifty per cent, of the people will take enough"interest in the ques tion to come out and vote or separate day.

States it is conceded that ten per jt-ent of all deaths are caused i ; directly or indirectly by drink. ; If we adopt one half of that per jcentage for Canada it gives us about five thousand deaths caused by drink in Canada every year. j Where there are so many deaths there must be a much larger number who are more or less injured- by if. We shall certainly lie within the mark if we say that ten thousand persons are killed and injured every year by drink. It has been shown in several places that it costs about five times as much as the revenue receives from the traffic to care for the paupers, orphans and criminals it causes. It has also been shown that if the money spent in drink were spent in useful articles it would give employment to eight times as many persons as are engaged in the manufacture of liquors. ; Reports from many places show : that the burden of taxation is I greater in wet than in dry towns. ;[��������� some places the tax rate is i double. The saving in police expenses alone is more than the license fees.

Bella Coola farmers are independent; they are strangers to hard times. HTHE REASONS for this enviable condi- * tion of affairs are obvious to anyone who knows the Bella Coola Valley. The land is fertile and needs little or no irrigation. The climate is mild and enjoyable ; long warm summers with sufficient rainfall and mild winters make for excellent crops. Large and small fruits, garden and field crops are grown to the best advantage. This fact was established at the Prince Rupert exhibition last year when farm produce from Bella Coola Valley carried away over twenty first prizes. 3 & OELLA COOLA and the surrounding country possesses wonderful wealth in timber, as yet almost entirely undeveloped, and perhaps at no other point on the Northern Coast is there the same opportunity for a remunerative investment as in a saw mill at Bella Coola.

Keep Up the Fertility of the Soil. The characteristic vwhich distinguishes the /fertile western prairie soils is'the: large proportion of vegetablernatter with its accompanying nitrogen. It is to this fact that they owe their re- ?narkable fertility and lasting quality. For the most part they certainly contain abundant stores of the mineral elements of plant food, but in this respect they do not differ from many soils of less productiveness in other parts of the Dominion. It is the larger percentage.of nitrogen holding, humus' forming material incorporated with the sand and clay that give to these soils their superiority. It is stated by Dr. Shutt, of Ottawa, that nitrogen , may be regarded as the chief index of the fertility of prairie soils, the most reliable -measure of their crop producing power. Nitrogen is the chief constituent of humus, but the latter is very valuable in addition to being the storehouse for the ��������� nitrogen that may be readily nitrified and made available for the crops'. During its further decay it aids in liberating potash, ph'osphoric acid and lime so that in all probability a large part of the food supply of the growing crops is obtain ed through the humus. ' TJhere is also to "be observed a wonderful influence on the physical condition of soils. This is most markedly feltin increasing the capacity of the soil for holding moisture. . Investigations at Ottawa have shown that the moisture holding power of the soils is in direct proportion to the organic matter contained. Its power of modiiying tilth and temperature is common knowledge to all and need not be enlarged upon here. Jn short it is humus that gives, "life" to the soil, for it is the material upon which the useful micro organisms feed/organisms that prepare food for farm crops, hence it is a���������fitting; and comfortable medium for seed germination and root extension. Already, manure applied to prairie soils is producing excellent results. It has been found that at the North Dakota Experi: mental Station that manure has given a return of $1.40 per, load and that was en the heavy Red River Valley soils. To secure ihis result it was applied to a corn crop which it increased as well as the wheat crops that followed it. Had it been applied directly to.the wheat these good results would likely not have been secured. In fact, it might have brought in the first crop a decrease instead of the"25"per cent increase. ' ��������� ��������� . Fertility can be maintained and even increased without the-use of commercial fertilizers, but the farmer must realize' that the essentials for such procedure are rotation of crops in ,which leguminous .crops take an important place," the marketing'of his crops in the form of animal products, and trie return to"the land of the organic matter taken from it. ��������������������������� .' . , : The law.oi nature.is; "Do the thing and you shall have the power, but they who do not the thing have not the power." Save the Liquid Manure. It is not good economy to spend money for organic nitrogen in tankage, blood or fish, while clover or veitch can be grown as a catch crop and supply such nitrogen free of .cost.' It is poor economy to buy potash while great quantities are being wasted in liquid manure. It might be stated here that a ton of sheep urine contains 42 pounds of potash while a ton of the solid excrement contains only , nine pounds; a ton of cow urine contains 27 pounds of potash while the solid excrement contains only 2 pounds, and a ton of horse urine contains 25 pounds while the solid excrement contains only 8 pounds. In spite of the value^of liquid manure as a potash fertilizer little or no effort is being made to preserve it, and yet potash in the form of muriate is being offered in small lots at $250 a ton. It is bad ' business to keep on buying plant food elements such as phosphoric acid while your soil is abundantly supplied with these elements. \Vhile money spent in buying chemicals is not usually lost thorough such mistakes it is not wisely invested.
