Array A Enderby, B. C, July 19, 1917 AND WALKER'S WEEKLY Vol. 10; No.21; Whole No. 473 NEWS AND VIEWS Good Morning! Delightful! Mrs. Frank Dill is visiting the coast. S. Poison returned from Alberta last week. . Mis. Crossley Poison and son, of Vci.non* are visiting Enderby. Miss Jean Duncan is spending a few days visiting friends at Sum- nierland. Mrs. A. H.

Froom, Kamloops, is at the King Edward hotel this week, having taken over the dental work of Dr. McCullough. If the weather keeps hot you won't need to be reminded of the ice cream social on Mrs.McMahon's lawn tonight. ' This is onc of those weeks when local news is on the decline. It's too 'hot for anybody to be naughty and too sultry, to exert oneself on ' anything but the obvious. The Victoria Board of Trade has appealed'to the.Provincial Government--for., the���������������������������appointment- of. ai commission to inquire into the question of technical education to be taught in the.public schools.of the Province.' The next meeting of the Woman's Club will be held at the Parish Hall,. St. George's Church, on Sal- ��������������������������� urday, July 21st, at 2.30 p.m'. The subject of "the Returned Soldier" will be ..debated by Mrs. Gretton, Mrs.. Winter, Mrs. Warwick and ,. Miss Seymour. It il estimated that the first cut of alfalfa cni the old* Fortune farm will amount to 300 tons. The second crop is looking fine. The alfalfa ' yield has been extra heavy throughout the district this season and --weather conditions have been ideal for harvesting. The total "crop'ha's-been^saved. The 'Local Council of Women of Vancouver has taken charge of the better babies contest to be given this year by the Vancouver Exhibition Association. . Anyone interested can get full information by addressing, Mrs. S. D. Scott, convenor, Better Babies Contest, Vancouver. King George this week dropped his German family name, and hereafter the royal house will be known by the name of "Windsor," instead of thc Germanic "Saxe- Coburg and Gotha." If the Irulh weVc expressed, in these democratic days, Royalty smeifls as sweet by one name as the othcr. Mr. and A Mrs. Graham Rosoman and daughter expect to leave for Vancouver Monday or Tuesday next. Mr. Rosoman will remain with his family one month, andjf it is found that the change from the interior to the coast acts beneficially on Mrs. Rosomaq's health hc will leave them at the coast for the balance of thc summer. A. . S. Sutclifi'e, who for many years was accountant at the Columbia Flouring Mills, writes* from Peterborough, Eng., -that his hours of labor, in common with all accountants of his class, are from 9 a.m. to 9.30 xp.m., each week day, and on Sunday all men physically; If the Government desires to assist in the development of a producing district, it should build a telephone line to Mabel Lake. The line would pay from the start. This ought- to be a good field for the .Okanagan Telephone Co. to open up. Ml "S. Middlelon, of the Provincial Department of Agriculture, with headquarters at Nelson, has been . appointed Provincial horticulturist and inspector of fruit pests in succession to R. ^VI. Wins- low, resigned. Mr. Middleton **i's a native of'Vernon. x , The women's committee of thc Council of National Defence of the United Slates has discovered that $1,000,000 worth of old stock; ing tops are wasted* every .year by American women alone, and they recommend that some method of eliminating'this waste be found. ��������������������������� Piemier Borden staled in the House on Tuesday' that he was willing to consider another voluntary recruiting plan before embarking on conscription, and that" he was~ prepared to form a coalition government pro vided it could be pledged to' adopt conscription in case the final appeal for voluntary recrujts failed .to bring in the-required' number of men. ���������������������������' ���������������������������"." ' While bathing in the"river some days, ago the boys and girls took to ducking each oilier. One of the girls became choked by water and lost control of herself. One of the boys went to her rescue and ,was himself pulled under several times. Companions finally succeeded in getting them . to shore little the worse for the experience. But the incident has put a slop to the practice of ducking. The German Chancellor, Belh- mann-HoIlweg has tendered his .resignation and it has'been accepted, and Herr Michaelis has been named to succeed him. This is said by some writers io indicate that a, big step toward peace has been���������������������������made,���������������������������while���������������������������olhers--cqually- as trustworthy believe it means that Germany has decided to put all her faith in the iron 'fist and to continue a ruthless warfare. City Clerk Rosoman states that the half-yearly payment of water rales due July 15th, was far in excess of last year's payments covering lhe same period. Virtually every water rate was paid in time to take advantage of tbe rebate, and the city's finances are in a better condition than tlicy have been since the pinch of war times started. This would indicate that Enderby citizens have pretty well caught up all excessive .expenditures and are keeping the outgo \vithin the incomc.- Those Americans do do things when they get going. They are reported to have already sent six hundred thousand men to lhe front in France. Dethronement of the "insane Kaiser" as the price of peace was thc stand taken by Senator Williams, Missippi, in an address to the senate the other day, and Senator Stone, of Missouri,one of the "Wilful Twelve," declared: "We may as well understand now as later that there will be no peace until the German Government lifts ils hands in token of surrender." BACK FROM THE FRONT Two returned soldiers came into Enderby this week, direct from the front; one, Pte. George Ormsby, who enlisted _ from : Lumby,> but some years ago was one of the best known of Enderby's youig men, then employed in the ollice of the saw mills; the othcr, Pte. Wm. Embrey, for a number of years a resident of Enderby and district. Ptc. Embrey was invalided home owing to continued ill- health. He was confined to the hospital for three months while in England and later was kept as a convalescent. But his recovery was slow, and he -was finally sent home ku Canada, being stationed at the coast. He will spend a week or two in this vicinity, then returning to thc hospital for convalescents at thc Vancouver ' While in the. Old Country, Pte. Embrey had no chance to get in touch with any0of the actual warfare, owing to sickness, but he saw' much of the results of'the fighting, and declares that "we'can Have no conception of wliaLEngland'is today���������������������������just a huge, military' camp; where man, woman and child ar.e, engaged in-some wa'^'ih aiding'.tq win the war. Pte. .- Ormsby's experience was quite difFerent. He spent several months in the trenches, and in that period was wounded three times. He was once reported as" killed. It was probably the time when he practically' the cabinet," tried to deal diplomatically wilh such questions, but without muSh satisfaction to anybody. Thc telephone companies introduced several new dillicullies, especially in the matter of arbitrary, rates. A period of turmoil willi individuals and municipalities followed. It was then that the Hon. Mr. Blair'devised the Dominion Railway Commission to, From that time, both Hie public and the companies felt that the period of makeshift remedies was over, and that,a competent body of specialists existed to examine, into their mutual contentions and decide them wilh the impartiality and care for the. public interest of a competent British court. I do not believe that the subject, of the cost of living is any more beyond the reach of such a body, if'carefully appointed, than' railway and telephone questions /arc 'beyond that of the now well-tried and well established railway commission.

Keith 5.00 RATIONAL REMEDY PROPOSED W. 1). I.ighlhall, K.C., in the Canadian Municipal Journal, suggests a rational remedy for dealing with the high cost of living problem. He suggests that thc'Dominion.Government should appoint a commercial tribunal similar to the railway commission, with similar powers, to handle the matter of food price.';, and conditions relating thereto, just as, the railway commission now handles all matters relating to freight and passenger rates. Previous to the appointment to the railway commission, this writer points out, the railways did, or were .supposed to do, somewhat as they pleased in many things. "They were popularly likened tp the political system of Turkey���������������������������a despotism tempered by assassination. These recurrent assassinations of,company power, in parliament and elsewhere, were no more good for the companies than their occasional autocratic methods arc good for the public. The ������������������02.00 A bishop recently addressed a large assembly of Sunday school children, and wound up,by asking in a very paternal way: "And now, is lhere any little boy or any little girl who would like to ask mc a question'?" A thin, shrill voice at the back of the room called out: "Please, sir, why did the angels walk up and down Jacob's ladder when they had wings?" "Oh, ah, yes���������������������������I see," said thc bishop; "And, now, is there'any little girl who "would like to answer this question?" t - ' ��������������������������� Owing to thc high cost of feed and altered conditions generally, I am compelled either to laise the price oT milk or quit delivery.

And you reel ''and reel and reel. Soon the fish al the other end of the line stops fighting,- but you keep right on reeling him in, or piling your line in a heap at your feet. Finally the line runs straight from the .pole down into llie deep! He's almost landed! You icach for the gaff or binding net! Then there is a flip, Hip, and the spinner dances gaily 'on the surface, just as if il had never felt a fish! He's gone! Oh. the pain of it! Then you say something and set to work unravelling the tangled line, "while your partner in virtue whistles a low lullaby and rows and rows. The cushions of air disappear, lhc world grows darker, lhc scat harder, and you feel lhal you haven't a friend on earth. Thai is when thc fish arc nol biting. But they were lilting on Sunday last. Ed. Mack caught a 20-pound deep-water trout before breakfast, and later casually pulled in to Leighton Beach wilh a string of juicy friers. Mayor Dill and Constable Patton landed 15 three to the yard and longer, and Ed. Dill and Clarence Fravel came in with 2������������������l of similar size.

THURSDAY, JULY 19, 1917 "BACK TO ENDERBY" Here is an extract, from a letter recently received which is only characteristic of many that could bc produced, written from other localities by former residents of this district: "'You will probably be surprised.'lo hear that wc have a'notion of coming back to .Enderby. . .\. We are much disappointed with this country and arc not going lo slay here.- It never rains; there is no limber; nothing but wind and sage brush. They raise pretty good crops where Ihcy irrigate; bul this counlry seems Jacking in all tlie beauties of nature. I asked an old timer if hc wouldn't like to sec il rain. He said hc didn't care aboul seeing it rain himself, bul hc had a liiac DiA six years old that would like lo see it rain. They usually have rain here every seven vears. 11 i.s time for a rain this year, bul owing Io war conditions, il has been postponed." With some variations, perhaps, this letter expresses thc impressions of others who have gone irom Enderby district to other localities. The only difference is in the nature of the complaint. The important point, however, is not in connection wilh what they find as faults in the localities they have moved to, but in the unanimity of their expressions of a longing lo get back to thc En- -deiM)N���������������������������disl-iMc4if=^0MieiHoca-liWcs^n-iaN*^lia-ve"-^.soi]rc" particular point ol" advantage lo detain Ihem, but so many who have gone from lhis district express a longing to get back-to its peacefulncss and beauty, it would seem that there must be some feature about Enderby and dislrict which appeals and holds men of all natures in harmony with the besl in nature. "We'd like lo get back to "Enderby," is the common cry of those who go J. o green _fields__far aw:ay ��������������������������� - Yes. indeed; Enderby may have her faults; il may be true lhal the district is nol as progressive as some others; il may not be all that our people could have made il; bul, after admitting all lhis, there i.s still much on the right side of the ledger lo make Enderby the dearest spot of all Ihe world lo many and many who have gone away. "Familiarity breeds contempt," i.s not a new saw. II i.s as old as the hills. II docs us good lo get away that we may get a change of view point. We can see things from a different angle. And when we "come hack to Enderby"���������������������������as all do. or would if Ihey could, we can tackle things from a broader perspective. By all means, come back, all ve who arc wearv' and heavv laden. Enderby is still on the map. and'has no intention of gelling oil' the map. The outlook i.s better loday than ever. There is more development on our farms; a brighter outlook for our lumber industry, and a general improvement along all lines. The spirit of co-operation is being revived lo a marked degree, and there is room and a welcome for all who can get back- If there is a hominess about Enderby that you cannot find elsewhere, come hack. We require workers, and one person who has been here and gone away is worth more lo the district when he relurns lhan three who come into the district as strangers and have lo learn what lo do and how to do it. To have heen here and gone away gives one Ihe experience lhat will make him a permanent resident, for hc will then have learned, lhal, while the and Quietly and in peace, while lhe physical-world is engaged in the greatest war in the earth's history," there is stealing over the minds and hearts of thc people a spiritual change even morc important and far reaching Hum the results of the war itself. Almpsl without conscious effort there has been a breaking away from thc old form of religion���������������������������-the religion of damnation and fear���������������������������and an awakening to the new form���������������������������lhal of service and love- So far as the church itself, is concerned, lhere has come very little change. The big change has come in the people themselves, Avho arc seemingly drawing ever nearer lhat goal of" universal iDrolherhood. This is a religion of doing the simple, the obvious, thing, in the here and now, and allowing the future to"take care of itself...'More and more are men drawing nearer to the ideal of the Master Man, lhat the Sabbath was made for man and nol man for (he Sabbath; that true religion is one of simple service not of services. We seem lo be drawing near the point where we can sec difference between a religion of "1 know" that of "1 believe." Have wc reached, or arc we nearing, the altitude of mind when wc can see all the requirements of .religion embraced in this simple doctrine. "I know that I am here; in a world where noihing is permanent bul change; and that in a degree 1 can change the form of things and influence a few people, and that 1 am influenced by Ihesc and-olher people; lhal 1 am influenced by the example and by the work of men who are no longer alive; lhal the work I now do will, in.a degree, influence those who may come after my life has changed into other forms; lhal a certain altitude of mind and habit of action on my part will add to the peace, happiness and well-being of other people, and lhat a different thought and action on my part will bring pain and discord to others; that'lo belter my-condition, and contribute my portion lo thc happiness of all, I must practice mutuality���������������������������what is good for you is good for mc, and"whal is good for you and me is good for all;,what injures you injures.nic, and what injures you and me .-.injures all. That bodily health is necessary to continued and effective work; that habit is a form of exercise; that up to a certain degree exercise means health and ease in effort. Jhal.all life is the expression of spirit; that, my body influences my spirit and my spirit influences my body. That the universe lo"inc is very beautiful, and anything and everybody in it good and beautiful, when my body and my "spirit "arc in harmonious mood. That my thoughts arc hopeful and helpful unless 1 am filled" wilh fear, and lhat lo eliminate fear, my life musl be dedicated fo useful work���������������������������work in which I forgel self; and lhal Ihe reward which life holds out for work is not idleness nor rest, nor immunity from work, but increased capacity, greater difficulties, morc work." American diplomats with American guns and American men to handle them, seem to have added strength to thc Russian army, judging by tiic^way^ihey-are-jnishing^lhe^cnciny-back-^iir Galicia. MANURING MARKET GARDEN CROPS Anyone interested in market gardening���������������������������or lhe making of a satisfactory home garden���������������������������and there are very few of us who arc not���������������������������will bc pleased lo gel the information given in a little brochure-ju"sl issued by the Agricullural Department at Ottawa. While the bulletin is intended more particularly I'or the information of market gardeners, the rules I'or the cultivation of the soil and the seeding and growing of vegetables and plants are common to all. and its contents are of real inleresl and should be carefully studied. The importance of manure in market gardening can scarcely be ovcr-eslimalcd, the bulletin says, and adds: "Stable manure has been and probably alwavs will be the main standby of tlie market'gardener." From this the bulletin goes on lo tell of the nature and composition of 'manure and of its influence. The nature and use of lime and its compounds next receive attention, followed by a disquisition on commercial fertilizers, their" composition and methods of application. In Ihis connection the section devoted lo polassic fertilizers is especially interesting and valuable. Elaborate tables arc given on fhe value of different fertilizers, and, finally, suggestions lo meet the fertilizer requirements of special crops, in which are included all kinds of vegetables and fruits.

The Englishman who can't ������������������������������������������������������ make goocOs no better than the man of any In the Winnipeg Free Press, Mrs. I. M. Abboll,'other nationality"who can't make good. The of Mabel Lake, .writes: [trouble with our English brothers who complain I have just been reading what Wm.. Weedcn of lack of appreciation on going to the States or says "in regard to an unfavorable opinion of the English being taught in the United States. I was raised there and went both lo school and college there, and at no time and in no place did I ever hear anything of the kind taught. I doubt not their history and the English history might not agree on some things as regards the revolutionary war and thc war of 1812, but as lor any j when he is outclassed hc says thc combination is feeling being created against thc English loday, i working against him. He docs not know that his coming to Canada, is that they carry with them an enlarged ego based upon what they think of themselves, and when they come into contact with western world conditions they fail to make good and fall back upon and cling to their ego rather"1 lhan chuck.it. And, naturally, a man who won't grow in this country is outclassed, and ��������������������������������������������� lhe very sland laken by the United Slates from lhe very first in tlie present war ought to convince thinking people lhat tlie sympathy of thc American people is and has been with the'English. . . . Thc English do not get on as fast Ihci'C because lhcy arc mostly trained to one calling and do not seem lo bc able to jump into every kind of thing like thc Irish and some of the othcr foreign-born, and Ihey seem to think that because thc others get ahead faster than they that Ihosc of other nationalities are given preference, ^preference. - "You women should remember that thc foreign- born women of today arc the mothers of your ncxt generation of Canadian manhood, and if Ihey arc nol taught loyalty in the home lhcy arc not very apt to feel very much of it, and a woman who has a voice in thc laws of a country is morc apt to teach her son loyalty to that counlry than if she is made to feel she is no part of thc country, and because she was born somewhere else shc never can be a pari of il, but musl always remain a foreigner. If taxation without representation was tyranny in 1775 it is thc same today. England lost her most valuable colony because of "that. Be careful that you Canadian women do not practice it on your fellow women- "I think Comrade's views are quite right, and when" women get more power I believe wc will have more chance of universal peace, but do not forget that all women are sisters." In this communication thoughts are presented which must bc met in a broad spirit by our Canadian legislators. They are thoughts that Canadian women must go into if they ever expect to make. the.most of the voting power, given them. If wc may bc permitted to say so, the reference to the position assumed by some, and pointed out by this correspondent, that preference is shown other nationalities to the retardment of the English in the Slates, is entirely without foundation.' If there appears to bc such a feeling against the English, it is not based upon any reason of nationality, but rather upon the assumption carried by most Englishmen and English women lhat migrate to the States, as well as to other countries and the colonics4:' an" assumption of superiority and the old, old fallacy that an Englishman is and should bc an Englishman always and everywhere. This assumption is being knocked higher than a cocked hat these days, not only outside of the British colonies but within them as well. What the world is demanding today is not what tradition has taught one to believe of himself or herself, but what we are ancl what wc can do���������������������������not where we come from or who were our forbears. There has been too much trading on this assumption right here in our own Canada���������������������������far more in the past than there attitude places downward. him on the greased plank tipped "Following thc Hag" means something more -lhan wearing it on your hat or lapel. FAILED TO DISCREDIT THE SOLDIERS A cable from England stales that no evidence whatever has been presented to the commissioners sent from British Columbia to thc Old Country to investigate the illcgcd irregularities in connection wilh thc taking of lhc soldiers' vote on the prohibition referendum. Thc cable goes on to say, according to thc Vancouver Province, that thc provincial auditor has presented an interim report to thc prohibition commission which does not show any change in the ballots, and that the final report from the auditor is expected any day. The commissioners lniyc finished their work in England, taking evidence at London, Epsom and Scaforth. The sender of thc cable states thai no evidence was presented by Mi'.

Telephone Company's complete service, the Penticton Herald says:. Briefly thc new agreement means a reduction of competition between the Government and the Okanagan* company, an elimination of thc restriction against the Summerland company/and thc establishment of a scale of. rates.. It is realized that the telephone competition in the Okanagan was ruinous, and it has nol come to an end too soon. Neither the Government, nor thc Okanagan Company could make, any money under past conditions, and so long as the public is protected in the matter of rates it is but right that the government should withdraw from competition with lhe company and devote its telephone business merely to pioneer lines:" If the weather clerk isn't a "hay man" hc surely'knows the haymen's requirements and has made thc weather to lhcir order this spring.

Dr. . Arthur. , Shadwell writing^upon "Food Prices andTood Supplies" in the Nineteenth Centurv, points out how Turgot, a hundred and fifty years'ago, showed the mischief which resulted when a government, yielding to popular prejudice, sought to regulate food prices: Yet the European nations in the present war have made^this mistake, and there is danger that we will commit the same blunder. Instances are cited by Dr. Shadwell of the disastrous results of governmental attempts to fix prices. Last autumn when the English Government put a limit on the price of milk, the result was just the opposite from that intended. Unable to make a profit on milk at that price, farmers sold their ' cows to the butcher and are now slaughtering their young heifers. The Government has been influenced by the popular cry that it is the poor alone who suffer when prices rise, yet it is the poor who have suffered most through the Government, s interference. When the supply of sugar ran short, owing to the difficulties of carriage, the English Government, instead of permitting the price to be regulated by the ancient law of supply and demand fixed the price at a low figure. Grocers, in order to protect themselves, required purchasers of sugar to buy other articles as well. When this practice was forbidden, other-methods wer,e adopted which feft the poor unable to obtain sugar. The war-time experience of Germany, the very citadel of gover"nme'nt-,regulation,;,Js_that the attempt to govern prices in the interest of the poor has worked , additional hardship upon the working class, ' while the rich have been able to secure everything that was obtainable at all. Herbert C. Hoover, prospective food administrator, says that the policy of fixing a maximum price hasrbeerPa failureriripractically every country in Europe where it has been tried,,and he is right High prices will always be felt most by those with small incomes and the lesson from governmental attempts to fix prices is that least hardship is caused the poor when prices are left to the law of supply and demand and the ordinary operations of trade. Left alone, an excessively high price is an evil that cures itself. Irrespective of governmental interference, high prices restrict consumption and stimulate production until a better balance is obtained .with correspondingly lower prices.���������������������������Leslie's Weekly. Passing a hand over his forehead, the worried drill-sergeant paused for breath as he surveyed the knock-kneed recruit. Then he pointed a scornful finger: "No," he declared, "you're hopeless.

Qirl Fruit Pickers For the remainder of July at least one thousand fruit-pickers from the Coast will be required in the Okanagan Valley, in addition to the local labor supply available���������������������������there^-For-VAugustr September and October the number needed from Vancouver and Victoria in the Okanagan Valley will be about 1500. This is according to information received by.Mrs. Kemp of the B. C. Consumers' League. The special-rates to the Okanagan : for-jheJfrmUpickersrwent into effect today and work out at" 1 1-2 cents per mile. A return ticket to the farthest point in the valley will amount to about S13. The fruits to be harvested are cherries, plums, prunes, pears, apples and other fruits in the Northern Okanagan. In the Southern Okanagan the pickers will have the'same fruits to gather, and in addition will pick peaches and apricots. t Ladders from ten to sixteen feet in height are used for picking fruit, says Mrs. Kemp, and the pickers work from eight or ten hours per day, six days in tne> week. Occasionally extra work, even on Sunday, has to be performed to gather soft fruits which would be otherwise too ripe for shipment. In September there will be a good deal of work available in peeling tomatoes for canning. There is also an opportunity to peel peaches, apricots and apples in, some of the canneries. ��������������������������� Vancouver Pro- Alberta has 12,000 autos and Saskatchewan more than 20,000.

THE WALKER PRESS % M THE ENDERBY PRESS AND WALKER'S WEEKLY- Thursday, July 19,1917 Talking Seriously of War The news from England, since our last issue, confirms, in every particular, much of the information and deductions therefrom, published in this column from time to time. It has emphasized the necessity for the policies The Post has, alone, in the press of Canada, been persistently advocating, since the outbreak of the war. The real facts must be brought before th? people. We are satisfied a majority of them are opposed to conscription or other necessary preparation; because they believe there is no danger. Primarily the British Government past and present, is to blame. They feared, and still fear, to let out the facts. Canadians who know, have every confidence in Lloyd George; but little in the administrative capacity of Curzon and Milner. Not only have they shown little executive ability but they hold themselves superior to the peopla. Wh.en the latter began to realize how effective was the German naval campaign Curzon thimble-rigged them with "Watch Mesopotamia." He could not have anticipated the exposures made by the commission this week. Sir Robert'Borden has not told enough. He has not given out even a reasonable amount of important information. If parliament, and the people of Canada, knew the real seriousness of the situation there would be no opposition to the fullest preparations. They would back up the Premier in a complete reorganization of his cabinet; taking in the ablest executives in Canada���������������������������regardless of party or precedent���������������������������and in the formation of a National Committee made up of the most capable leaders in all important walks of life; Agriculture, Labor, Finance, Manufacturing, to advise and assist him in taking care of the present emergency; and to plan for the rehabilitation of the country after the war. ���������������������������Financial Post, Toronto. Germany Getting Into Line A London dispatch says: The German Empire is on the eve of some form of democratization. From the best information it appears that Matthias Erzberger, leader of the Catholic Centre party, started the move at the instigation of Chancellor von Beth- man-Hollweg, and for these reasons: First���������������������������The pressure of Emperor Charles for peace. Second���������������������������The awakening of the German people to the fact that they could not win military decision. Third���������������������������The realization of the German rulers that the Allies would not make peace on any satisfactory terme to Gesmany until the country was democratized. Fourth���������������������������The desire to have the German people believe that the impetus for a change came from -within and not at the demand of the enemy. 13 K LO IA xTlA R E���������������������������You n g. 25c, 50c 75c, full-grown, $1. Agues Little, Msirsi, B.C. Canada Must Stop Waste War on all food waste, even if it means the introduction of price fixing and compulsion was declared by W. J. Hanna, Canada's food controller, in an address before the Canadian Club. Mr. Hanna explained that waste in this country must be stopped. Canada and the' United States must export an enormous amount of food stuffs in addition to what is normally sent, if thejUlies are not to go hungry. Total requirements of the Allies in wheat were 1,105,000,000 bushels. The production of Europe was 654,000,000 bushels, leaving 460,000,000 to be exported from North America. It was estimated that the United States and Canada would have for export 300,000,000 bushels, so that 160,000,000 would have to be made up. The figures in beef were equally disturbing. Canada must help by production, shifting of foods for consumption and elimination of waste. The producers had done well and consumers must now do their part. If each consumer would reduce his consumtion of wheat, beef, and bacon one-third they would have the answer. If all would do it they would have the answer twice over. Mr. Hanna intimidated that he would not hesitate to fix prices. He was receiving word that the flour substitutes recommended cost more. It was the fault of the dealer every time. Darker grades should be substantially cheaper than white and would be. The Girl Who Does. Things It is the girl who does things in this world who is attractive, both to men arid her own sex, which last counts no little, too, in the long run. You may not be able to do great things, to paint great pictures or to sing in grand opera, but can learn to make bright little things for yourself and your freinds, and perhaps to play the light, "catchy" airs of the day, so that your friends will enjoy them, and if vou can't do anything else cultivate the art of talking brightly and of being sympathetic. Every girl can do one thing well if she will only take the trouble to find out what that thing is. The dfficulty is that she often looks in the opposite direction; she wants to do something great and showy or nothing at all. But there are other talents within reach if she w'll only look, and these talents may be such a comfort to her in her dark hours that they will make, life better and happier both for =her-=and=fchose--aboufe=her-7 STOCK TAKING CLEAN SWEEP SALE We are now stock taking, and, after the rush of our Great 12-day Sale We find lots of k - . * !

It isn't always easy to say "I'm sorry" in fact, sometimes it's desperately hard, but once you've said it you'll feel so much happier that it's really worth the sacrifice to your foolish pride. The longer you wait the .harder it will be to say it; the angry feelings will grow like a snowball, until what has merely been a slight grievance assunies~the proportions of a real estrangement. There is no fault so hard to overcome as bad temper. We may make any number of good =resolutionSr=and=then=the-=first time we have any provocation away we go without an instant's warning, and before we realize what we are doing, unkind words have been spoken, and no matter how much regret we feel they cannot be unsaid. The strange thing about it is that we so often hurt the people we love the best. Even when we beg forgiveness, though we heal the hurt, we cannot do away with the scar. As a rule the people who are quick to give offense are equally quick in taking it. Their feelings are easily hurt, and they go about with the proverbial chip so lightly balanced on their shoulders that someone is sure to knock it off, either intentionally or accidentally. Half the ill-feelings in the world could be smoothed out by a few words of explanation, but if on the one side the offender will not say, "Have I done anything wrong? If so I'm sorry," and on the other the offended will not say, "You have done so and so; did you mean it?" the breach will go on widening until it is irreparable. If we cannot control our too hasty tongues, we can at least say we are sorry, and so'save ourselves untold misery and sorrow. Never let a grievance stand over night; better sacrifice your pride than your peace of mind. CANADA'S BIG PROBLEM "Now, when she is about to go on a conscription basis," says the New York Tribune, "Canada realizes to what extent reluctance to go to war may manifest itst;lf even among a relatively homogeneous, unhyphenated people. There arc two strains of blood in Canada's population. But it is impossible to call either element hyphenated in lhe American sense, for the Kronen Canadians have lived on Dominion soil longer even thsin the English- speaking Canadians have. Yet with no conflicting blood or cultural tics (for France and Great Britain are now allies), the French-Canadians have shown a surprising disinclination either to enlist or to support the war otherwise. They have practiced the .* pacifism which our pacifists have so far only talked about. Conscription has been deferred for nearly three years because of the fear that It would bring about a clash between the English-speaking and the French-speaking elements. "Americans will sympathize with the Canadian government in its dilemma. Andlooking back-sit our exhibition of indecision and our lack of unified elements, both alien and native, in our population, English-speaking Canadians will doubtless now modify their former critical attitude toward us. Our predicament was for a long time graver thsin theirs. But we have extricated ourselves. They will extricsite themselves also." No Complaints. Here "A general tendency, exists on the part of the public," "says, a communication from the Military authorities, "to voice (all eom- pl skin ft regarding casualties pay, separation allowance, etc., through the press, before any attempt has been made to have thc facts of in- iividusil cases brought to the attention of District Headquarters for investigation, and it" is urged that*; "all , c;;ses of complaints should be referred direct to District Headquarters before such complaints sire given lo the press." By taking this course it is considered that a great deal of dissatisfaction will_.be obviated and the military authorities will be more or less protected from unjust criticism.
