Committees . have been formed in most centres oi any importance, und these are oharged with the duty of seeing that no case is overlooked or neglected. it is the intention of the commission that returning men shall be directed -to make application for employment, training, or whatever assistance they may need to the local committee nearest their homes. Should the local committee be unable to find employment or furnish adequate assistance, the central office is at once communicated with. r For the purpose oi. facilitating the work of the commission a classification is made into (1) able-bodied men, for whom employment will be found if possible, (2) convalescents, for whom accommodation will be found at the Convalescent Home, under the jurisdiction of the military medical department, (3) permanently disabled men, who are unable to follow their former occupation and wlio will be given some technical training to fit tihem for a new occupation, and (4) incurable in- vatidu, who will be provided with hospital accommodation by the Military Hospital committee. 'ihe local committee for Kelowna consists of the Mayor and Messrs. L. E. Taylor, 1'. Dumoulin, G. Meikle, M. Hereron and W. ti.

Reclaiming Lands , Spoilt By Seepage Drainage Act Must Be Redrafted to .Extend Assessment Iho question of damage whioh is being caused by seepage water in irrigated districts, and the advisability of being able to assess the oo.it oi tho drainage work rendered necessary by such seepage, against tho on nets ol tundr causing the damage as well as those actually benefitted by tin. drainage wus the subject of further disous- mon ut the Board of Trade mooting Tuesday night. that this waterlogging of formerly good lunds wuh becoming a serious question was made clear by tho statement that in many places around ft-el- owuu since irrigation systems hud been installed tho wuter labia had risen us iuch as twelve or fourteen foot. Lakes had been formed in Rutland which were gradually encroaohing upon surround- mg land, and although a scheme has been started-there to drain tho water away it is at present held up because of the lack of provision in tho Drainage Act for taxing unyone except tnOB�� whoso lands will bo benefitted, leaving out of uccount those on the higher levels who have oaused tho damage. Mr. C. Groves reported on behalf of the special committee appointed to enquire into tho matter that the whole Drainage Act nxrded redrafting as it waB not applicable to tho ease at ail. It had originally been passed to meet the needs of farmers alung the FraStsr river. Mr. (.roves thought there wouhl be no difficulty in getting the government to uct if the matter was brought before their notice in the right way. It was left with the new committee to draft a new , Act dealing with the question. The quostion of appointing u joint secretary ulong with other association* in town wus'uIbo discussed ut considerable length, but no definite decision was arrived at. The advisability of taking some action to prevent the dumping of fruit into Canada below coBt of production was als0 disoussed. County Court Sessions Judge Swanson has been in town during the past two days holding sessions of the County Court in the Board of Trade room. The principal case for hearing is one in which some Hindoos are suing W. Ii. Stonohouse. a rancher, near Kelowna, for money under a crop sharing contract. Defendant's defence is that the Hindoos failed to carry out their part of the bargain and has also put in a contra claim for damages alleged to be due to such failure* The cobo was not finished as we go to press, Mr. B.

Third Annuel Meeting nf More Optimistic Tone Pervades Deliberations���Charges to Growers Show Big Reduction���Unanimous Vote of Confidence in Manager Jackson that fl better tone pervades the members was tho impression which might have been gathered by an outsider at the annual mooting of the local Ex- change held last Friday in the Opera Increased Duty on Apples The new incrouso of duty from 10 to IK) cents per barrel on applet is probably one of the most important moves which have been made in con neotion with the apf le business tor a long time paat, and in this notion of tbe country, where the increased protection thus afforded means so much, the announcement has been received with much satisfaction. It if the opinion of practically ' U experienced fruit men that it will have the most far-reaching effect in putting the valley fruit business on a sound basis. In fact as one shipper put it, "It is like handing the grower's a cheque for thousands ol dollars every year." A commission consisting of Messrs. W. C. Rioardo, president of the B. C. Fruitgrowers' Association, E^ M. Pal- met*, and B. H. Winslow recently formed a deputation to Ottawa to urge the case ot the B. C. Fruitgrower, and with such sucoess as that the increase mentioned has been announced by the Finance Minister, GSir Thomas Whits.

The cheque oame into tho hands of the Crown authorities, and Newsome was summoned. Ho was fined |10 and cost*, or 30 dnys, although ho claimed it was an oversight that he had not put the stamp on. The Sterling Rank, which accepted the cheque without a war tax 'stamp* is to he summoned to the court to give reason for so doing. Manager Jackson, of the centrul selling organization, with whom many Kolowna people were making acquaintance for the first time. It is safe to say that the impression created Was decidedly ��� favorable one. Ono misses of course tho persuasive eloquence and fighting qualities whicli distinguished the former manager. Instead Mr. Jackson gives a senio of quiet energy and business acumen, which leads to the belief that if it is possible ut all success and efficiency will come to the Okanagan L'nitod Growers. The meeting commenced at 10 in the morning, tho chair being taken by the president, Mr. II. Francis, who like many others in the room was in thai uniform of His Majesty's forces. The first business was to deal with the report and bulance sheet for the year, copies of which were in the hands of the members. Director's Report In presenting this, the third annual report, the directors, believed nil would agree' that the your just finished had been one of great success to all concerned. Conditions had l>een fur from favor able to the smooth working of any business and manv concerns in all parts of Canada n'lfl h*Mcl a bard strug gle far existence. In view of theso facts they wero of opinion that the balance sheet and reports mado a very satisfactory show ing. The amount of fruit und produce handled, notwithstanding smaller crop yields, showed an increase over last year and on tho whole fair prices were obtained. Expenses showed a very healthy decrease and of course, these wero the two salient \ o'nts- at which they must direct their best efforts at all times. ��� 'Jho number of supporting members was greater in the year just passed than nt any time since tho exchange began operations, and as a POnstfQjUenoo the directors, with the very able and wholehearted support of the manager and his staff, had been enabled to make good their promist ot a reduction on packing charges, which were now as low aw 32J cents per bbx on No. 1 npplrs and pears and a corres ponding reduction had been made on all other linos where possible. When the exchange first started in business in 1MB the charges, for No. 1 apples were 40 cents per box; this was reduced to 35 cents in 1.H1 and today stood at 32J cents. It was interesting Ut note that on a turnover of, for example. 100,000 boxes, this represented a direct saving to tho members of $7,500, and with the (���toyal support of the members there waB oo reason why they could not look forward to the day when they could reduce this to u flat charge of 80 cents per box and possibly less. This: tho statement pointed 'out would put them in n very strong position, and if all worked together they could attnin that position. The members would be pleased to know thut steps were now boinj: taken to arrange for a more simple form of "Accounts of Pales" to be rendered to the growers. The present form had been found to be too cumbersome and intricate and involved nn extraordinary nmount of clerical work in tho office. The (Central was alBo revising pooling nrrangvmtnts. so that returns could bo made much more promptly. TJe information given by the Cen tral during the pa��t year about sell ng prices had not proved at all satis Detailed financial statements accompanied tho report. iho total revenue for the your from all sources had bean $88,438.92. Of this ��31,803.51 had been revenue from tho Bale of growers' fruit and produce and 12,305.12 profit on miscellaneous trading accounts. The net profit on the year's business had been $148.72. In moving the adoption of the report Mr. C. G. Buck, a member of tho executive said that the report before them was a very complete one, being the result of much work and forethought and was designed to cover all tho points upon which they as growers Could desire information. He felt that they oanld n'l congratulate themselves upon the excellent showing made. The directors were told very plainly at the lust annual meeting, he said, that they were expected to reduce om- pehfles and handling charges, and bearing these pO-n a in minu, with the able assistance of the mvnigeg und his staff, they wero in it posit im to come before the members at that meeting ^tjfid say they had fulfilled'their mandate. It had not been very easy for they had had keen opposition to contend with, and he regretted to say that some of the opposition had cora0 from their own members. This was both an, unfortunate and short-sighted stand for the members to take, for, and he wished to impress this fact upon his hearers' the cooperative system of handling and marketing fruit and produce as was being done by the Exchange allied to* the Central. Selling Agency, was yearly more and more the answer to the difficulties encountered in this respect in the past. Ho admitted that there was still much room for improvement, but they were all learning your by year, and they must surely all admit that much progress had been mode, in the year just passed. 1914 and 1915 were two difficult years in which to make much headway, for reasons with which tbey were all familiar, but despite'those ud verse circumstances they had f,an<ed ground in every way, except perhaps prices obtained. . Heretofore they hod not been able to make tho price, but with the wholehearted support of oil members, the day wouhl come when thoy would he al le to dictate to a largo extent the prices, at which produce should be sold. This matter of support nnd unity was of such vital interest to all that he could not bear too sbrongly upon the necossity of moral as well as material support to the organization, for in it, he firmly believed, lay their future success. Dr. W. Wunsborough Jones seconded the motion. He said that during the year the directors had had constantly in mind the instructions given to them by the members nt tho last annual meeting, and though th1-- perhaps had not done everything that had been desired, yet ho could truthfully sav that they . had at all times consistently tried. The exchange, he continued had now l��en organized for three seasons and tho timo had gone by now for discussing any theories of cooperation. What they wanted now was results. Were thev on ihe right track, nnd were they making progress? He believed that although they had not yet reacht ed perfection, .yet they were making very distinct progress. During the year there had been a considerable increase in the number of contracting members, who now numbered about 200, a larger number than Local Actors Will Stage Play Next Week Proceeds Will Be Donated to Hospital and Patriotic Causes A olav to be staged on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week (Feb 29th and March 1st) under the auspices of tho lied Cross, tho Canadian Patriotic Fund and Kelowna Hospital commit toes. ��� f> Breathes there u man with soul so dead, Who never to himself has suid 'This is my own, my native land.' ��� * There 'are not many of us here in Kelownu, who have not, some on�� or more of those nearest and nearest to us, at present striving in fur-off Europe to uphold thu great principle of right against might.'

Classes are being held every day this week morning , and afternoon in the "Exchange" building, the hiBtruotor being Mr. F. C. Loveday, Dominion Fruit inspector of Vancouver. A pleasing feature is the large number of girls and women who are taking up what is likelv to prove n pleasant and profitable occupation during the coming season, and they'are especially invited to attend. Next woek another class is to bo held in tho afternoon nnd evening for tho convenience of those, who cannot get there in the mornings. This new class will start Monday afternoon at 3.30 and Monday evening at 7 o'clock and will continue throughout the week. Application can be made to Mr. Loveday at the Exchange, or to Mr. Lionel Taylor of the Farmers' Institute. During the past fortnight four officials of tho department of agriculture at Victoria have joined units preparatory to going overseas. The call of duty was too loud to be prolonged, with the result that now the 6th Can* dian Garrison Artillery is four men stronger, by the., addition of Messrs. Henry Rive, Wm. Newton, G. L. Foulkes, and W. II. Robertson, who have been connected with the department for some time. They ore now in training at Work I'oint Barracks taking the course of instruction before leaving with a draft for duty in France. Henry Hive, the popular chief dairy instructor, is known throughout the province as an expert in his line, and his advice is always sought by dairymen when any perplexing problem has to l>e met. Be has been the secretary of the B. ('. Dairyman's Association for five years, or since lie joined tho department. Mr. Rive came to Canada from the Jersey Islands where ho waB born. After spending some time in Ontario he attended the Ontario Agricultural College, and later mado his way tp British Columbia, stopping at a number of points on the prairie t0 gain an ideu of the wonderful resources of the Dominion. His leaving for the front is a distinct losd the dairy industry af the province, and the dairy mi n and his host oi friends all wish him the best of luck and a safe journey in driving the Hun . to Berlin. Wm. Newton, who has been on the department for two years, is a graduate of Macdonald College, Quebec, where he completed his agricultural education, the practical sido of which had been gained on his father's farm not a great distance from Montreal, the city of his birth. Mr. Newton has don�� not a little in helping the farmers of the province with th��f soil and crop troubles. G. L. Foulkes, the well known tennis player, who has fiUed the difficult and at times laborious position of secretary of tho horticultural brauoh, had the misfortune to be laid down with an attack of !,, grippe, just after joining the 5th, but his many friends will be glad to know that he has complete- ly^reeovered. Mr. Foulkes has been on the department for the past five years, his previous work amongst the fruit growers of eastern Canada end British Columbia well fitting him for this position. * W. H.

Speaking of the progress made in marketing. Dr. .Jones pointed out inat while in 1914 a large proportion of the produce had been sold on consign* ment, during tho past year only 7 per oent. of the produce had been so sold. He defined consignment broadly as shipping produce away to jobbers without having previously placed uny price upon it. Of that 7 per :ent mentioned twelve-seventeenths, si- though actually leaving Vernon without an agreed price, had hud a price pluced upon it before reaching lb.1 agent. So that strictly speaking* only about 2 per cent., had been sold o�� consignment. In accordance with the wishes of tho members, continued the Doctor, a general attempt had been maoV to got tho good* direct to the retail trade and about 13 per Cent; of the produce had been sold in that way. It was only fair to point out, however, that this part of the business had shown ttie least profit. The ntulT cost u good deal more to handle, and it was very difficult to make collections. Nevertheless, the directors had boon trying to do what had been asked of them. There had been q great deal of complaint last year about so much produce being sold through tho brokers, and thero Certainly had been a great deal sold in that way. Practically all of the consigned fruit was haudlotl by brokers. During tho [vast year 69 I-er cent., of the produce had been disposed of directly from the Vernon office or by their own agents. Coming to tho cost of selling through the Cm* ml, the speaker point ed out that the total coBt had been $58,000 or on\- 0 per cent in comparison with 12.", per cent in 1914, This meant ��� saving of 3J, per cent, which was a very Considerable reduction. When it whs remembered that all the world over 10 per cent, was considered a reasonable cost of soiling, it could be seen that this was very good indeed. It was quite probable too that even this low cost could bo reduced fttill further, by bringing Into the Central a larger volume of business, Xhe*e facts, eott.-luded Dr. Jones weflg very encouraging, and showijA that they wero indeed making progress. It was only by uniting and working together that success would ultimately be achieved. A gcttera] discussion then followed in which manv-speakers took part. Mr. J. Scott, who had recently returned from a visit to the prairie, pointed out that retailers there were selling No. 1 and No. 2 apples at th same price without any distinction. He said that when he tried to buy apples down there it seemed us if he were buying gold bricks, but when he got back again it was a different story, (laughter), ' Mr. L. E. Taylor complained that he had been badly misled by the published selling price of some produce. He instanced peas, of which* he had shipped a large quantity. From the information given him he had imagined these wero selling for 8 cents per pound, but when his returns came in some months after he found that the price realized would not .payfor picking. He wished to know why he had not been in'ortned of the fact so as 1 to stop shipping when >the price fell. It was admitted that in regard to certain lines of garden truck the system of distributing information torn the Central office had not worked suc- oaaafuHy. A suggestion from Mr. Peter Casor- so that a central distributing warehouse be opened in Calgary, led to a discussion on thc possibility of "Uttiug out the expense of middlemen by marketing direct. Mr. J. E. Reekie *aid the matter had been gone into very carefully moral times, and though he did not claim that such a policy might not be necessary some day, ho did nut think it could bo done with success at the pic- sent time. For one thing a large amount ol capital would be required to embark upon such a scheme, and it was questionable oven then if they iould sell thoir own produce eheaper Wio what the wholesaler could do it for them. It was impossible to market *. I art of their produce in that way, UI they could not sell to both wholesalers anJ retailors at tho same limo. If ihey sold to retailers the wholesale men men would Ik* at once antagonized. The motion to adopt the report and balance sheet as road was passed shortly before lunch and nominations wero also received for the board of directors for the ensuing year. Upon reassembling at 1 o'oloek the bnlloting was at once proceeded with and the following were declared elected: 11. Mugford. ('. C. Prowse. C. E. Koekic. C, E. Weeks. M. Hereron. L. Dilworth. G. L. Allen. Tribute to Late Fruit Inspector A sympathetic reference was m:td> by Mr. L. E. Taylor to tho death of Mr. Thos. Cunningham, provincial fruit inspector. Mr. Cunningham, he "aid, had been the fruit grower's best friend and during his long residence in the province, had dono all -he could I further thoir interests. Me moved the following resolution, which was unanimously passed by the meeting, all standing. "That this mooting of the Kelowna Growers' Exchange bogs to express its hearty sympathy with Mrs. Cunningham and family in their bereavement, and to express their appreciation of tho service rendered by the late Mr. Cunningham on behalf ot tho fruitgrowers of the province since the inception of the industry." The New Duty on Fruit Mayor Jones moved that a r.solution be sent to the government expressing appreciation for their action in increasing the duty on fruit from 40 to 90 cents per barrel Mr. J ones said ho did not think th growers had quite realized yet th great advantugo to them of the change which had increased the duty on an- pies from 40 cents to 90 cents per barrel, or as we hero shipped in boxes, from 13) to 30 cents per box. This'mi. should have the effect of amply pro- ti touting the Okanagan fruit industry from the keen Americnn competition from thc south. He referred to the extensive nature of that competition,, pointing out that fully a million dollars worth of apples wero imported into Canada.' each year. Tho increased duty should enable the B. C, growers to capture tho Vancouver market. Over a thousand1 cars were shipped each year into western Canada and 80 per cent of this was on consignment, shipped in such a way nB to avoid tho Dumping Act. The competition from the other side was growing rapidly in extent. In 1913 the United States had 48,000 acres in bearing fruit; in 1916 they have 180,- 000, and. it was estimated that by 1990 they would have 308,000 acres of trees six years old and over. They were producing more than their own market could consume. In Canada we were not producing any more than we could hen lie fiml we wanted to conserve our market. Mr. J. E. Reekie seconded the resolution. He said he thought tt was quite in order to sond such a resolution to tho government. Suck (, measure had certainly not been placed upon the statute books without ft gr%t deal of serious thought and consideration. Whilst we as fruitgrowers wanned all the protection we could get, ho thought the government must havo had no lack of .ourage to pass Bitch a measure in face of tho probable opposition from the consumer. The fact that they had passed an act bo beneficial to the fruitgrowers should encourage thorn to go forth with greater effort than ever. There was another serious matter which should bo looked into and that was the question of the water supply. Stops should bo taken to make this more secure, a&the present conditions of the water companies constituted a serious danger to fruitgrowers. This latter suggestion waB embodied in a resolution passed later, and, moved by Mr. T. 'Buiman, urging the government to take immediate steps to improve conditions of water supply. Mr. Leigh of Rutland raised a discussion on the matter of guaranteeing to restore to his situation any employee leaving to enliflt with the fore- ROVAH YEAST MAKES PERFECT BREAD tnodiiied form was eventually passed. "That . any employee of the Kelowna Growers' Exchange enlisting with the forces should he givt a preference on returning and apply'nj for his job." On the suggestion of Mr, J. Scott a resolution was passed "that the B, P. government be re pleated to urge upon the C.N.I... 'h' Immediate eons ruction of tho Kamloops-rtelowna branch railway/' Some discussion took p'u<v upon p.0 remuneration of dlractora and executive. Last year ��� vote of M.OOO had been made, the directors to receive payment ;it the rata of 83 per roe ling and the baianoe to be divided among the executive, it was suggested by Mr. It. A. Copeland that the payment of #1 a meeting was insnlueient. but it was finally decided1 to vote the Hr 000 UB before nn 1 leave the apportioning of it to the board. Manager Jaokson As this practically concluded th ��� actual business of the meeting Mr. F. E. JaekBon, the manager of the United Growers' was asked to address the members. The 1915 season, he said had boon ono of many difficulties for the management of the Central, The vegetable market was extremely unsatisfactory. Tho fruit market was always near the edge of a general consignment market. Kin ino'tal c. ndi- tlons were precarious, and buyers who in previous years bought freely, in L915 bought sparingly) and with e\- irotne caution. Markets were easily overloaded and a large number ot ths dealers were uncertain friends as they wero refusing lo buy in the hope that they could forco a free and general movement on a consignment basis. All shippers, Central. included, wore at times compell-jd to ship on Open BO- count. He had no criticism to make regarding any of their competitors. In this business with frequent <hunges there were bound to be conflicts in prices, and except for the fact that their organization kept them better informed as to the general marketing conditipni they wero as likely to err as their competitors. Th-y wore on friendly terms with all shippers and fvtt that every effort should bo put forward to enable everyone to obtain thl best possible value for his shipments. They must realize that it was to their advantage to have their competitors sell their output advantageously. 1 here was any excuse for a co opera* inoern refusin r lo.o - op rate with its competitors. It might not be out of place, continued Mr. Jaokson, to warn growers that vegetable markets wore exceedingly small and would not absorb large quantities of highly perishable vegetables at C.P.lt. prices. The season of 1916 might be (l good ona for vegetables of the more staple kinds, but the consumer is not buying, luxuries freely under present condition) and besides thg population of our cities is decreasing. Heretofore they have had Valley Pools. Valley pools were nicer for the Central and the manager. They prevented any accusation of unfairness but they nlso prevented them from shipping a grade as high as their competitors. A proper definition of a valley pool was "q scheme for drown ing district individuality." It was the lust scheme-that Central should encourage. The climate, growing, grad ing and packing all offered opportunities for any district to attain points of advuntnge over other fruit of the same variety grown in other districts. Why.drown them in a valley pool? They must recognize the fact that the fruit business was their principal' reliance, and thev- must handle it better than they hud dono heretofore if they were to increase their volume. Tho locals furnished tho volume ho they must make it possible for them to meet competition at home. Whilst the principle of the resolution met with general approval this was considered a little too drastic, and a Change in Pooling System In 1916 valley pools would be discarded and district poo's substituted therefore. Salmon Ann, Tappen, En- derby, an 1 Armstrong would be one pooling district; Vomon another division, and Kelowna, Veachland, Summerland and Penticton the third district. This division grouped locnls growing similar products and would raise tho standard of their shipments as a whole. This change in pooling would increase work on their pooling books, but would on the whole moan quicker returns to the grower. Mr. Jackson urged the necessity for careful handling of fruit at all stages. Careful handling meanB the elimination of many losses due to decay. It Was not a matter of attention to one or a few details of the handling problems, but of exercising in all operations tho utmost care consistent with commercial work. It necessitated (Continued on Fntre 8., isnaiciiiiifsic^^ Random Remarks 1 By the "Chiel" | ' A duel's amang ye takin' iu lei, S t^ And feth he'll print them."

The following hints are the outcome of my attention to tho talk of the ladies.

Jumpers and Basque skirls, with gathered sleeves will also be worn by the more daring. Kinioiia color, d shoos with pannel stockings will also be much affected. The stookJnga may be cither crushed st ruwberry, mouse grey or Belgian blue. I also gathered that a very popular blouse would bg one with two- in-one collar, and that on:1 great advantage of this style is, that tho wearer can walk out mornings with low neck collar, umT'nppoar in the uf- .ternoon wit It high collar; thus aiding the urgent lv advocatel economy- movement.

ANNUL MEETING OF GROWERS' EXCHANGE (Continued from Page Two) thorough organization of labor and the most careful inflection of work both is the field and at the packing houses. To�� many growers failed to realize that under modern conditions of hand liny of long distance shipmentB< and oT rolling ^ perishable commodity the marketing of fruit in sound condition was aa essential to success as its production. Shipments arriving at destination in poor or a decayed condition frequently demoralized a market. There was not only the direct loss of fruit through decay, but the indirect losses due first to depreciation in prices for fruit actually sound, second, to a poor reputation for keeping quality and third, to the nigh overhead expense of handling a perishable product which develops great waste and spoilage in transit und alter arrival at the market. If a crop of fruit was completely picked at one time the shipment represented extreme staged in maturity. This meant abnormal deterioration and a poor reputation for the keeping qualities of their fruit. 'Ilie operation oi the Central in IV16 would provide, for more efficiency and a reduction in expenses of doing business. They had provided for systema* tic and scientific loading of various commodities in all seasons. 'Ihis would increase sales by providing a better? product, at destination and; meant less claims and allowances for bad order shipments. All important shipping points would doubtless have Dominion government inspectors to pass on grade and maturity. Their own inspection would [be moro painstaking and efficient than in 1915. It was cheaper to have fruit rejected at home than in Winnipeg, especially after adding an icing and heavy freight oharge to the low grade commodity. In the scientific distribution of any commodity if that product is standard, consumption of that product is increusod. The jobber oould afford to handle it on a smaller margin because it sells more readily than similar goods not of a uniform standard. The retailor could afford to sell it on a smaller margin also because he sold more und had less waste. This meant a higher price to the producer and a smaller price to the consumer. 1916 Promises Better Results The apple crop in i910 promised u, large increase over 1915, continued Mr. Jackson, but with some increase in their selling organization he thought it quite probable that the Central would make a better comparative showing of re. nils than in 1915. Their export business would show higher average prices than in 1915. The prairie provinces, with on unusual ly heavy snowfall this winter, promised another good grain crop. This should increase their mixed car business. The more mixed cars they could ship to counti points the better their prices would be to the grower. Eighty per cent of all fruit planted in the Wenatchee district consisted of six varieties of apple*. Winesapa were by far the favorites with 29.3 per oent; Jonathan with 14.9 per ant. was next. the remaining four varieties of the six were Delicious, tipiteenberg, Staynian Winesap and Home Beauty. No other variety represented two par cent. This indicated that the older apple growing districts were eliminating ., great many varieties and were, confining their or- charge to varieties that were staple and the best sellers. The varieties in this valley especially in the section with the older plantings were entirely too heavy with the early winter varieties. The total sales of the Okanagan United Growers in 1914 wero $304,000. The total sales of the Okanagan United Growers in 1916 was increased to $65-1,000. This covered fruit arid produce shipped, but did not include fruit or supplies sold to locals. Central charges in 1915 provided for a reduction in handling charges as compared with 1914, and proposed changes lor 1916 showed a further reduction of over 2 cents a box on apples. To handle tho Vernon office, to make all sales, including all expenses of the Central excepting the purely merchandise charges of freight and assembling, cost 9.5 cents per dollar. In 1014 the same coat was 12.4. The difference in cost of doing business in 1915 as compared with 1914 was 2.9 cents per dollar, or a reduction in coot of doing business of nearly 25 *tm oent. In 1916 they hoped to further reduce tho ratio of expense per' dollar. The Central handling charges had been simplified and reduced to cover operations in 1916. The principal reduction had been mods on apples and would average over two cents per box on thoir shipments. This represented a considerable saving to the grower. Speaking of the Kelowna Exchange, Mr. Jackson said: "I wish to acknowledge a heavy obligation to the manager of your local for the manner iD which he has co-operated with the Central.. It has been hearty and Com plete. We have dealt with your local in the same manner. Your representatives on the board and executive have been of great assistance in conduct of the Central and the manager has been compelled fro^u'nLly to rely on tneir practical advice." The general business impression of a co-operative organization, he continued, was on unfavorable one because it was felt they did not measure up to private firms in general business efficiency, Lack of business efficiency in eo-operativ'e firms was caused by lack of cooperation among its component parts. Every employer judges his employees by their ability co-operate. Subordinates progress, other things being equal, according to their capacity and willingness to cooperate. Executives retain their positions only if they co-operate successful ly with otlter executives and maintain co-operation among, their * workers. Since, therefore, co-operation is essential, common sense dictates that it should be heurty and complete. The Central organization und all locate were now fully co-opoiatinp' in every way and the prospect .'for real efficiency had never been so bright as at the present time. Mr- Jackson created some amusement by the remark that- no position was over-invented that contained so much genuine; concentrated trouble and worry as his present position- Even the directors did not escape. The grower was apt to be critical. He was not originative. With a fuller knowledge of their difficulties he was sure the growers would feel lesB critical and therefore more helpful. "As manager of the Central," concluded Mr. Jackson, "I desire results. I have no desire for publicity. I think there is tt Ben i'ble v�� by which each local and Central can in teamwork with fullest confidence, obtain results for the grower. lei me assure the shareholders of this local that they and the entire organization will receive my l>est efforts during the year." I Scarcity of Packers Mr. T. Barber of Rutland, touched upon an important matter by pointing out tho probuble scarcity of packers next yoar due to so many young men enlisting. If something were not done he said the growers might easily find thomselves practically ut the mercy of Orientals, who could hold them up for Qny concessions they liked. He moved the following resolution: That whereas large numbers of Orientals are employed in our packing houses at good wages; and whereas although the government has been holding packing schools for a number of years without sensibly improving the situation; and whereas a very large number of young people) who should be taking up this work are leaving our public schools every your without any technical training and going directly into the ranks of unskilled labor; therefore be it resolved that we urge upon the government the necessity of taking immediate steps to [Hve tho senior classes in nil the schools of the province an opportunity of securing training in the packing of fruit." Mr. L. E. Taylor pointed out .that it was not from lack of opportunity that more people were not learning packing. Schools were being provided by the government and every effort made to secure pupils, but it seemed difficult to do so. The trouble was that the boys and girlii would not take advantage of the opportunity offered them. Several speakers were doubtful as to the wisdom of advocating any interference with the present school curriculum, and the resolution being put to the meeting was voted down- Before the meeting broke up Mr. J. E. Reekie said he would like to have plaoed upon record the members' appreciation of the services of tho mombers of the board who were retiring from office. Two of them had enlisted and Dr. W. W. Jones and Mr. Buck had not> been reelected. The two latter especially had done a great deal towards the development of 1'ieir organization. Dr. Jones had been invaluable in the councils of the Central us well ,os the local organization, and he did not think all the members (jlito realized tho loss to the Central in being deprived of his services. He proposed-that the thanks of the meeting be given to them. Mr. Geo. MoKenzie suggested that the resolution lie enlarged tr include all the board of 1915, including Mr. Reekie himself, and also a vote of con fidence in Manager Jackson of the Central. This was passed enthusiastically and the meeting dispersed. Department of Agriculture;; Issuing New Bulletin The provincial department of agriculture has now on th�� press, Bulletin No. 68, entitled "Diseases and Pests of Cultivated Plants in B. ('., and their control," which has been p. chared by Messrs. J. W. Eastnam, IJ.Sc, provincial plant* pathologist and entomologist, and Max H. Ruhmann, a* sistant entomologist. This bulletin will fill a long felt want, because the authors have spent much time on experimental work in British Columbia, and are thoroughly conversant with thc problems of the fruit growers and orchardists. There is also a short article on sprays and spraying, by Ben Hoy, the assistant horticulturist for the Okanagan district, which has appeared in print before, but as this is such an important part of the work of the fruit growers, it is reprinted in this bulletin. Requests for this bulletin should be sent in to the department now. STOCKBREEDERS' ASSOCIATION CONVENTION NEXT MONTH The annual convention of. the B- C.

On Monday afternoon the occupantB of the Rutland store were alarmed by an outbreak oi .fire in one of the upstair rooms, and had it not been foi the timely help of one of the soldier boys and Mr. Hubbard of the Telephone Co., who happened to be in the store, the result might have been more serious. The fire seems to have started from some clothing coming into contact with H hot stovepipe passing up through tlie floor from below. A* few pails of water served to extinguish the blaze before it Beally got a good hold, and the damage was limited to tome bedding and other contents of the room, and some damage below by water.

In tile first game, which was mention ed in last week's "Becord" when tlie score was given as 7 to 3 in favor of the Vernon team the boys were severely handicapped by the soft ice and were hampered by stiff musoles to a considerable extent, owing to the stren uoas workout at basketball, whieii had been indulged in the previous day, bringing int0 play an entirely different set of muscles to those used in lor a game of hookey, and it was impossible for some of them to get up to their usual speed until the game was well under way. Vernon won bow- ever but the victory was far from being as decisive as the eoore would indicate, as during the last period of play, the goal keeper for the local boys allowed three easy shots to roll unmolested into the nets, thus making it appear that the boyB were outclassed. The game scheduled to take place at Armstrong on Thursday night did not come off owing to ihe northern town informing the boys the ioe was not fit for play, *,, arrangements were immediately made for the Kelowna boys to play Vernon again on Friday night. This was done and in th'is game the final score was tie with four goals each, ' In this contest the condition of the ioe kept Kelowna from winning, as time after time the Kelowna forwards broke through the opposing defence but were unable to oarry the puck into a position to shoot on the soft ice before the players of the other side (unhampered by following the puok) ooxld overtake them. In this reepeot Walter Baymer starred, but his efforts were fruitless in the slush. , The line up of the team was somewhat different from the first game and the work of the boys was highly complimented by the Vernon spectators, the work of the entire team und that of A. Knight, fa, goal especially. Orders for Local Scouts ���* p��=PABio- KELOWNA TROOP Troop First! Self Last! Orders by command for week ending March 4th, 1916.

Never leave it full- cocked. If it has a half-cock leave it alwuys on the half-cock. This position is made for safety, use it. If you want to see whether your rifle is clean open the breech wide and place a piece of clean writing paper, bo that it will completely cover the firing pin, and presses against the head of the bolt. Now turn the breech of your rifle to. wards the light and look down the muz/le, the inside of which whould have a silvery color, if any rust is visible remove it by a "pull through" or a wire cleaning rod with a wire brush or rag dipped in coal oil. at the end; lastly wipe the barrel dry with a new dry rag. See that your breech, hammer and trigger are always well oiled and working easily; take care of your side lights and if your rifle, is equipped with sight protectors, keep them on. If your trigger pulls off too easily have it fixed*properly by some gunsmith. When firing don't pull the trigger with your firing finger, but press it off, by squeezing the small of the butt and slowly contracting your trigger finger, if you pull the trigger off you are very apt to move the gun while firing; your gun whould be cleaned immediate,y after filing, even an hour's delay is some delicate rifles is apt to cause the powder to cake in the grooves and this will become hard to remove, and if not removed it will corrode the barrel: keep your rifle dry and so evade its greatest enemy, rust; never clean your "rifle with emery clotli or sand paper: what you need fpr cleaning purposes are a cleaning rod, plug, wire-brush, pull through, . Some cotton waste or clean rag, and a bottle of "Three-in-One Oil." Never leave a gun loaded, or leave H with the cartridges near it, for some children might load it if they saw the cartridges there. If you pick up a gun hold the 'barrel,to the ground and see if it is loaded, even if you are sure it is empty.- Lastly take care to get no mud, sand, or even snow into the barrel, for the gun when fired in this state, will explodo and probably injure you seriously.

CANADA'S SHELL INDUSTRY PEK- , MANENT ' Steps to insure the permanency of the extensive shell industry developed by the war are being taken. During bis stay in Canada* Lionel Hitchens recommended that such action be instituted, and it is announced officially that the question has been referred to the Economic and Development C0m- miason, which will report as to how best the industry may be cosisorved. In the manufacture of shells expenditures now in progress in Canada aggregate about' tSOOjOOO.OOO. The employees are estimated at abo^t 100,- 000. Subsidiary industries in refining copper and zina have been orga|uBcd. 1Westbank News (Ftojb av own OarncnaataBt.) Mr. Cecil Clarke journeyed to Wilson's Landing on horseback last week in search of stray cattle. �� ��� Mr. 0. C. Etter of Kelowna spent last Sunday in Westbank with Mrs. Etter and son. * * * Pte. W.

Gellatly spend Wednesday afternoon in Westbank visiting friends. * * The regular semi-monthly meeting of the Red Cross Society wal held Tuesday afternoon at the residence of MrB. W. Brown; jn Bpjte of the disagreeable- ness of the weather there was a good attendance, and a very profitable afternoon was spent. * * On Tuesday afternoon under the auspices of the local farmers' Institute two verv interesting and valuable lectures were delivered in the Westbank school by government lecturers. Mr. H. Upton, ��� widely recognized authority on poultry, spoke forcibly, emphasizing the desirability of the small poultry man raisin; only heavy-weight birds and he also urged the necessity of close co-operation in the marketing of eggs and dressed fowls. Mr. Hil- borne, of the government experimental farm at Summerland followed with a very helpful address on horticulture. Mr. Hilborne in proving that a man could make u living on a 10-acre lot, quoted figures showing how a rancher in the valley had cleared this year $l,r 900 on an 8i-acre lot in fruit and vegetables. After examining some branches from local plum, peach and apricot trees Mr. Hilborne stated that some of the buds had unquestionably been killed by the recent cold snap, but he was Confident that there were enough unharmed buds to ensure an abundant crop. O SOME STATISTICS OF A GROWING MOVEMENT Evangelist E. R. Potter of the Seventh-day Adventist denomination has just received a report from the statistical secretary of that body located at the world's headquarters of the church in Washington, ]).(.'. One of the remarkable statements in the report is, that "The actual net gain in membership for the year 1914 was greater than the entire membership oi the denomination throughout the world as it stood thirty years after this movement had begun its work- The report says further: "At the close of 1914, the total mem bership was 125,844, a gain during th. year of 11,287, and ^he number of baptisms during the year .Vi�� lacking one of 15,000. "The amount of money raised is offerings to foreign missions in the North American division was $615, 5G5.95; the membership in this division is 72,015. This amount is therefore an average of $8.56 for each member. The significance of this last amount will be better understood when it is explained that the latest available reports indicate that for 1913 the average per capita contributions on the part of the members of all the protes tunt bodies in the L'nited States was 63 cents. ' . The figures ranged from 91.93, the highest, for the Moravian bodies to twenty-one eenfs per member for the lowest. "The number of organized churches at thc close of 1914 was 3,702, a gain during the year of 113. "This work is now being carried forward in 87 different countries, 46 of which- are non-Protestant and 20 non- Christian countries. "The force of laborers is comprised of the following: 926 ordained ministers; 565 licensed ministers; 1,454 licensed missionaries; 2,076 colporteurs; 292 secretaries; making a total of 5,313 evangelistic laborers. "Other laborers are engaged in (liferent lines as follows: Teachers in mission schools, primary schools and colleges, 1.616; employed in publishing houses, 735; in sanitariums and treat' ment rooms, 1.696; a total of 4,047 in stitutional laborers. If to this we add the 5,313 evangelistis laborers there is secured a grand total of 9,- 360 laborers engaged in all lines of denominational work, or one laborer to every thirteen members. "The total funds contributed for evangelistic work by members of the denomination during 1914^ were $3,090,- 484.80 a per capita of 324.56. "During the fifty-two years since this work has been organized there has been contributed for evangelistic work alone, $31,075,894.76. ��� - "Not on^jdollar of this amount has been raised by church socials, or suppers, or fairs or the like means. 56.84 per oent of the fundB contributed laBt year'were from the payment of tithe, and the balance was given through the Sabbath schools and other free will offerings.

This Convention, it is expected, will eclipse any yet held by the fruit growers, because of the important work done by the executive in bettering transport nt ion fticilitieK. in securing an increased duty on apples, find in advertising the products al tlie province to tha ccnuiming public on the prairi m and ut the coast. The memlber- nliip o| the associasion is nt present the largest in its history, despite the fact that 60 many growers have enlisted. A number of men prominently identified with the induntr,. throughout Canada, will be heard at the convention, while a number of the outstanding figures in provincial fruit circles will be heard on the'subjects with which they will deal in a comprehensive way. J. B. Musselman, general secretary of the Saskatchewan Grain Ckowers' Association, will address the convention. Mr. Musselman is one of the marketing experts of the prairie provinces, and has had much experience in selling to the farmers and to their organizations. F. 1). Nicholson, president, of the Okanagan t'nited Growerb, will tell of tho work of that organization during the year ?nd how the fruit of that famous valley was marketed in 1915. One of the most important items on the program is the report of Messrs. W. 0. Ricardo, R. M. Palmer and R. M. Winel'ow, who were instrumental in a large degree in furthering th! interests of the B. C. Growers' at Ottawa prior to Sir Thos. White increasing the duty on apples. Others who will be heard on matters of so much interest to the fruit growers of B. C, are A. H. Flack, Chief Prairie Fruit Inspector, of Winnipeg, and Edwin Smith, pre cooling expert of Ottawa. Mr. Flack haB made an extensive study of fruit marketing, mosi suitable packages for different fruits and their standardization, and his address will most likely prove one of the most interesting of the corner tioD. Mr. Smith haB made many ex periments on pre-cooling in Ontario with considerable success, and the soft fruit shippers of this province will no doubt benefit to a large degree by his address. R. C. Abbott, W. E. McTeggart and L. L* Palmer will also give addresses.

I4p MISCELLANEOUS "Is Saturday or Sunday .h Sabbath?" was the subject of u 't��er- mon-lecture," which was discussed lor an hour and a half in the Rutland Methodist church by tho pastor, Mr. Tann.T. After staling carefully the position of the Saturday Sabbathari- ans the subject was treated from three position of the Saturday Sabbath or- iaus the subject was treated from three standpoints; (1) Biblical; (2) Historical; and (3) Practical diilicultiee of the Sabbath position. (1). The change iVi'in the Jewish Sabbath was shown to have been made to the Lord s day by reason of the abrogation entirely of the Old Covenant or agreement with the race and the substitution entirely of the New Covenant or agreement, substituting "Grace" for "Law" (2). That the old agreement contained two distinct elements; viz. a temporal and an eternal element. (8). J hat the temporul element vanished away entirely. (4). That thj eternal element was reenacted and extended by Jesus Christ who is the head of Idl- "new creation." (5). That all the commandments were reenacted by -Jesus Christ except that fourth, "Six days shall thou labor .... But the seventh is the Sabbath etc." [$', That the temporality even of the fourth commandment was shown by its being adapted only to a mild climate by reason of its no labor provisions now impossible, e.g., that no lire should be lighted on the Sabbatli day; and by its recognition of slavery, "thy man slave or thy maid slave," for oth.T conditions of slavery see Ex. 21. (T). That the reasons specifically for ihe change from the 7th to tlie 1st day were; (a) the desire to coimneimirate our Lord's resurrection on that day, a custom which Christ himself immediately endorsed as well as the apostles afterward; the endorsution is attested in the writings of the Father of the Bub-apostolic age; (b) that on the first day of the week the Holy Spirit came upon the church ut Pentocjst, (c) that the claims of the seventh day belonged to the superseded old -Agreement, (d) that the agreement huving lapsed its distinctive "signs" must also be taken away; Thc sign* of the old covenant were three. Circumcision. The Passover, und the Sabbath; that these were changed to the three distinctive signs of the new covenant, Baptism, The Lord's Supper and Lord's Day. sal practise of the three great branch- J ee of Christendom: Greek, Roman and Protestant, of a first day Sabbath was discussed an I it was shown that while the Roman church might have changed Protestant practise, it was impossible to have done so with the custom of the Greek church which has continuously throughout all Kb history observed only the first day Sabbath. It was shown that the claims that the change was made at the Counoil of Laodicea by the Papacy is impossible since the Papacy did not administer and had no authority in the council of Luodieea. It was a Greek church council, held about 1000 miles east of Koine and the Greek language was used in its discussions. And lastly the practical difficulty .vas sJhuwti of observing a Saturday Sabbath by one travelling round the world. Travelling east to west, one would, while observing every seventh day, by losing a daj arrive back in B. ('. on th:- Lord's day, the first day of the week and willy ni'ly would be a Lord's Day Sabbatharian NO 1 ICE OF ASSIGNMENT! WAVfE* TO EXCHANGE 160 acre t>i land in Saskatchewan.
