NOTARY PUBLIC Dow, Fraser Trust Co, 122 Hastings St., W. 2313 Main Street Between 7th and 8th Aves. McKay Station, Burnaby A SEAFORTH HIGHLANDER THE MEN WHO COMMAND UNDER GENERAL FRENCH A FRENCH KITCHENER * The name of General Joffre, Chief of the General Staff of the French Army, was practically- unknown to us in British Columbia before the outbreak of war. Yet General Joffre is like our own Kitchener���������an organiser of victory. If France had had a, Joffie in 1870 the Germans would not have won. His career has been exceptional from the first. When war was declared in 1870 he had scarcely finished one year at the "Polytechnique," which corresponds to the British Royal Military Academy at Woolwich. At 18 he was given his commission, and as an artillery subaltern took part in the defence of Paris during the siege. \ . JJe attracted attention; be was employed in the reconstructing of, the Paris fortifications which followed immediately^ upon the war. The forts at Enghien were of his designing, and one day' Marshal MacMahon, after inspecting his work, put a hand upon his shoulder and said, "I congratulate you, Captain Joffre." Captain at twenty-two! So well did he conduct himself here that he wfis sent to Portarlier (on the Swiss frontier��������� the Southern Gateway into France) to assist with the now famous defences there. ".This is all very well," he said, "but J don't want to make fortifications all my life. I want to coraimand troops." In Tonkin (French Jndo-China) his. opportunity came. He was senl into the field, and 'he^ came back victorious every" time. After this he won distinction in Formosa, in Madagascar, in Dahomey, and the������ in Timbuctoo, whHher be led the remains of the broken column of ColoueJ Bonn������er after-he had-put-new spiritinto rthe-menv^lrasr by seizing every chance of foreign service, he had learned his profession in the field. Then, iu the middle 'nineties^ he came back to France and went steadily upwards, working hard all the time, until he was in 1911 asked to take the chief command. - ^ General Joffre maintains that the warlike genius of the French is as strong as ever. The duty of a French General, he believes, is to prepare and use the old French dash and vigor to the full. In the field as in his office at the Ministry of War he is "as hard as nails." He gives orders and expects them to be carried out exactly: if they are not there is trouble. He may sympathise with the incompetent, but he cannot overlook failure. After the manoeuvres of last year he dismissed five generals. Paris gasped. Every garrison in France got excited.. Nothing like it had ever happened before. General Joffre said nothing. The five generals had failed; it was essential for France's security that they should be deprived of their commands. They disappeared from the active list. France, which had known little of this masterful Chief of the General Staff before, suddenly became aware that its armies were being reorganised by an exceptional man. General Joffre does not believe in flashes of genius. He knows that long and careful preparation is necessary. He has been at the head of the Army-for three years. Never for a single waking hour in those three years has he forgotten the purpose for which he was appointed���������to prepare for the struggle in which France is engaged today. - . .;���������..��������� Talking about the British Army a few months . ago, he said: "I have never seen it. I should like to see it. I must find an opportunity." He did not think then that the opportunity would come so soon! - France and Britain, and .for that part the whole world outside of Germany, are happy in possessing a Joffre and a Kitchener in supreme command of the Allied Forces. Both fought the Germans as young men in 1870. Their "minds must have been then indelibly impressed and in all probability both these men���������the most efficient of their race���������have hardly gone to bed once in 40 years without conning over the chances of , meeting the old foe and defeating them. At the battle of Doorn^kopje Smith-Dorrien was in command of the Canadians and the Gordon Highlanders. v His brigade was moving forward, fo attack the main Boer position, when his Canadian corps and the Gordons, being eager to get to; close quarters with the eneiny, dashed forward so impetuously, up the hill that they got out of touch with the remainder of the brigade -and*were; on the point of being surrounded. Realizing this,8Gen. Smith-Dorrien, utterly regardless of the heavy fire of the invisible foe, expert marksmen all, set off as hard as his'horse could gallop, straight across the enemy's front, in order to turn the Canadians and Highlanders back. The onlookers gazed with amazement as the hail of bullets plowed up the earth all around the gallant rider. He came through, however, wonderful to relate, without a scratch, and, having succeeded in his object .returned to his position in the rear of his troops to direc]t their further operations. In answer tp protests as to the risk he had just run, he made the characteristic reply: "Well, someone had to stop the Canadians and. the Gordons, and I could not send anyone else to face that fire, could It" For this he was recommended for the Victoria'" Cross. Some twenty years previously he was likewise recommended for the Victoria Cross. It was for conduct in the Zulu war. ��������� One day, while put studying the lay; of ���������; the. land, he was suddenly set upon: by a body of Zulus.- He put spurs to .his horse and was galloping away with the enemy after him, when he came upon a fellow officer on foot, who asked him to let him hang on to his stirrup so as to help him along. < SmithrDorrien consented - and they covered some ground in this fashion, when the officer, thoroughly fagged out, entreated him to allow him to get on his horse behind him. Smith-Dorrien got down in order to help the man up,' and had no sooner landed him' in the saddle than the horse straightway bolted, leaving its owner to the tender, mercies of the fast approaching enemy.- . . Nothing daunted, Smith-Dorrien, who at Har- row had taken many prizes for running, sprinted ahead with the Zulus, who are among the swiftest and longest-winded* runners in the world, unpleasantly close upon his heels, until at last he spurted into camp.and safety. " This is the loan that commands under General French today. <.- The other man is General Sir Douglas Haig, a cavalryman from.the crown of his head to the soles of his feet, and spent several years in India as inspector-general of cavalry. He was also chief of staff there to the commander-in-chief; distinguished himself as chief of staff to Field Marshal Sir John French in the Boer war, and went through all the Soudan campaign, including the final battle of Omdur- man, under Kitchener. BETWEEN THE DEYll AND THE PEEP SEA One of the striking episodes of the present turmoil in Europe is the confiscation of the home of Prince yon Blucher, great-grandson of the famous Marshall Blucher that helped Wellington finish Napoleon on the field of Waterloo, Belgium, . just ninety-nine years ago. For 25 years back the Prince has been owner of=the4sland 6f-Herm, one of therChannel Islandv��������� He bought it:under a mortgage held by one of the German banks and has spent a large sum of money upon his residence there, which dominates the view.of sea and land in every direction. The entire population is about 100, all being in the employ of Prince von Blucher. and mostly Germans. There is only ~one landing on the island and no one is permitted to land without first securing a special permit, often quite hard to obtain. The laws and often despotic orders, of the Prince were enforced by the Chief Boatman and Head Gamekeeper, who jointly held the office of Chief Constable. Naturally the British Government could not tolerate such conditions under present circumstances, all the more a������ it was reported that the German retainers of the Prince were reservists /ind armed with rifles, gatling guns and even with pieces of large ordinance. So the Prince and his entire dependance were expelled and the property confiscated to the Crown. ' The Prince resents this confiscation all the more bitterly in that he has been an ex-patriate for more than 40 years, having quarreled with the Kaiser and hating him and all things about him with a violent hatred. It is reported that the Prince, with the present princess and her family, are on their way ';to the United States, where they will reside until present troubles are overpast. LOUVAIN. Louvain, the Belgium city rased by the Germans, was not so much an art emporium as it was the great centre of the Jesuit propaganda, on earth. Here, forty odd years ago, was inaugurated the.scheme to train journalists to capture the press of the English-speaking world and the then avowed plan was to educate a eorp of trained journalists so that a onan could be placed in a prominent position upon the staff of every daily paper of any note in the English-speaking world. The tone of the press during the past years seems to point to a successful issue of this campaign. Phone Seymour 943 Davies & Sanders General Contractors :: 55-66 DAVIS CHAMBERS 615 HASTINGS ST.

Cheques totalling ������230,000 were paid to Lord Plymouth, who had made himself responsible for the purchase price-to save the palace for the nation.

Papa Wilhelm's letter congratulating -the <3rown Princess over her husband's first victory reminds one of the telegrams the old King Wilhelm sent to Queen Augusta. "Punch" at that time broke out into verse about it as follows: "By grace divine, my:dear Augusta, We've had another awfjil buster: Ten thousand Frenchmen sent below. Praise God from whom all blessings flbw." A MODERN ABSALOM LAND VALUES IN WAR TIMES. / A hopeful view in reference to the war and its probable effect on the financial situation is taken generally by Western business men whose judgment always carries weight. Regarding the possibilities for a long-continued struggle such as might paralyze business and caujse a universal financial panic, such an outcome is too remote to merit serious consideration, these men assort. " It is unthinkable," said one today. '' Take the case of Germany, for instance. In normal years Germany imports about one billion and a ���������half dollars more of agricultural products and foodstuffs than she exports. With the British and French fleets already in command of the seas how long can Germany hold out t A half-starved army js not a very good fighting machine. ."''With Germany dependent oit Austria for her food supply, the peace treaties would have v to follow; and this outcome can be postponed but a few months at farthest." v, In regard to real estate values in Canada as affected by the war, the same authority called attention to the fact that these have been steadily maintained for months past in the face of adverse conditions on all sides. "And why?" he continued. . '' For the simple reason that these values are intrinsic and not merely speculative. It is a safe inference, therefore/ that the productive possibilities of Canada cannot be<destroyed by a few .months' fighting in Europe. The land will still be here when the fighting is all oyer, and it will be in demand more than it ever was. After, the war I look to see another big emigration movement from Europe to Canada; and it is hard to see how land values���������and by that I mean intrinsic values���������can suffer in any, way from the present crisis." AS TO THE BANKS. (The. Regina Province Standard) All the assistance which the Government of -Canada is endeavoring to give to the people through' the medium of the banks is being held up by the banks for their own additional security. The banks are inviting reprisals thereby, which, unless we mistake the temper of the Canadian people, will not be long delayed. . . . Ordinary, commercial credits have been cut oftV Every* business in Canada is suffering. Farmers suffer��������� the security of the wheat, which is better than gold, is no longer taken. Municipal governments suffer. Canada is as badly off, in fact, as if she were without banking facilities. The. assistance the Government extended has not reached the people���������has not passed beyonfl the control of the' banks. Credit is practically non-existent, and- without credit the business fabric cannot hold together. . . . The banks have" been extended privileges by the Government never before, in all Canadian history, allowed them. After September first they can issue "paper money" in addition to the present issues, equal to fifteen per cent, of their combined capital and reserve. Bank notes have already been made legal tender., The banks' can .receive, from the Pominion Government;V Pominion bills for securities deposited with them. It was not. intended by the Government that these tremendous advantages should be possessed -by the banks for their own uses. Those steps; were taken solely for ther purpose of aicling-the4 people of Canada to maintain tbe general structure of business. It ^as intended^ that the banks should be in position to carry on their ordinary business of supplying the country's needs in the: way of credit. If those steps had not been taken' the banks would have been justified in their present stand, to some extent at least. T%ey- would have had to protect their own interests; The Pominion Government took upon itself the " protection of the interests, of the banks, so that the banks could protect the country's interests. But. protected in everyway though they are, the banks are accepting all the assistance tendered them and passing none of it on.

And the nhe went to heaven, But to stay he didn't care; He kicked because he said that same Non-union men,were there. He went down to the Other Place, ., And there produced his card, Then Satan drew an earnest face And studied good and hard. . And then he l,iught, his hands did rub, Till he thought he'd nev������_r stop; "Lord bless my soul," said Beelzebub, "Why, this is an open shop!" The Boston American, just to hand, contains the following remarkable article off the German Kaiser from the pen of Mr.'C. O'Connell Galyin:��������� William II., Emperor of Germany and King of Prussia, up to date the most powerful monarch in Europe, as he is proudest and hautiest of men, has had one ambition since he came to the use of reason. That ambition is, that in the cloistered, aisles of Westminster abbey, he might one day sit in the chair, in which English rulers have sat for a thousand years with like purpose, and bowing his head have placed upon it the Crown of Great Britain. William of Germany has hugged that hope close to his heart ever since the hour, in HJ88, when he ascended the throne of the Kaiser, as successor to his lamented father,. Frederic, the Noble and the Good. A withered artti is the source of William's anti-English hate. When his mother, Princess Victoria, -eldest daughter, of the English Queen, was expecting his. entrance into life, her mother, Queen Victoria, came over from Windsor to be with her daughter in the hour of trial. An elderly English doctor, who was in charge, lost his head and his nerve in the crisis and Princess Victoria's boy came into the world maimed for life. 'The day William ascended the German throne/ when his universally loved father died, a victim to cancer, a shiver, confined at first to ,high state circles, was felt in England. Before many years certain things got noised abroad and .soon the shivering grew epidemic. The epidemic has never been stayed. England shivers today in her every nerve and fibre at the mention 6f the Kaiser's name. Diplomacy, strained at times to the breaking point, has held off the evil hour when the Kaiser was to lend attentive ear to1 the call of his ambition. The late Edward VII., uncle of the Kaiser, made many trips between London and the Continent, going on one occasion;'even to Berlin, tp placate his fiery ^chew and plead with him not to break, the bonds of peace: Edward's last'illness had its source in a violent scene that took place in the palace at Potsdam between the two rulers, And when Edward returned to London after the trip all who saw him leave the train at Charing Cross station knew that his days were numbered. In the few years that have elapsed since then there has been no one in the royal circle bf England strong enough to influence William into paths of lasting peace. He was biding his hour. That hour has come. William of Germany would \ have struck at England three y������iars ago, when she stood alone in her "magnificent isolation." But the astute English ministers, fed with the news by a watchful foreign office, got wind of the move. Haldane, the then English war secretary, was dispatched overnight to Paris to see what France had to offer in exchange for England's vast navy. . Haldane was satisfied with wjLat_J__u saw.^ JH������l .jretujm;:tp^Lo*- don,.. reports to Asquith, the Prime Minister, what he had seen and heard. "All right," said the Prime Minister, "Wire France we go in with her." And the compact was made. That compact \> drove William to the heights of frenzy. The night of the day whetf-the bargain was struck, between England and France, Mr. Asquitlr Jsent Chancellor Lloyd George down to Woolwich to speak as the Cabinet mouthpiece at a Liberal banquet. He was told what to say and hej_aid it. That Lloyd George speech at Woolwich made all Europe get ready to close up Its shutters. Straight from the shoulder the British .Chancellor hurled defiance after defiance Into the teeth of the German Kaiser. He was told to come on, to fight or stop talking; that England was ready for him and the sooner the guns barked, the better England would like it. The haughty William gasped as he read Lloyd George's words of challenge. Then he Bmelt a rat and he sent trusted secret service men. up into Paris to find out all they could and whether England and France had got together, which William suspected waa the Becret of England being so saucy. The agents came back to Berlin. The story they told him made his face grow pale.. They had found that France had quietly and silently, with- by day. and suffering the horrors of nightmare whenever the "War Lord" at Potsdam speaks an angry word or'*> a German airship flies across the ' Straits ot Dover. _ Germany, whose ruler has been cha-'' fing for this fight for a score of years, knowing France's feeling towards her land as the Kaiser does for "& reason that is personal V and also because Britannia owns all the fairest and richest colonial possessions on the globe's Burface, leaving no room for the.flag of the Teuton. These are the forces. None mightier have faced the world since the rule of the Caesars. Once this triple struggle, starts, with* Russia and maybe Italy aiding England and France, the task before Germany and her allies will be terrifflc. Neither will it be a holiday for England, for upon her will fall the full brunt of fighting Germany at sea. From the moment.the first gun is fired between the English ; and the German fleets, England's navy officers will have their pace set hot as the stride of a thoroughbred racing to the front over the turf and hurdles of the Derby racecourse. The" possibilities of that Anglo-German .fight on the seas are too appalling to think about or to measure. Has England a Nelson to-day? If; such a man exists let him -come forth* and declare" himself, for his work out any. fuss or parade, been working !" ^2^VTT^ ^ ? ��������� . wonders with her army. They found! l^lle^r that France had organized and was at that moment ready to use the most perfect artillery service in the world. Light machine guns with almost uncountable firing power, mounted on motors and motor cycles, making every man a fort in himself. All the old ideas .discarded, every new idea adopted. They found a chain of forts across the Franco-German frontier, each link In the chain a miniature Gibraltar. > < - Most sinister of all, those German agents found France the owner of the greatest aerial army in the world. - William of Germany paused &b he heard those reports. When the Investigators had finished their .tale hia mind waa changed. Then came his decision. It was to wait a few years. And he postponed action on Lloyd George's speech. ' But night snd day the flreB glowed ill the great Kropp arsenals and the mighty Nesmltb hammers in the imperial shipyard* pounded out the armor plates tbat were to hurry along the building of tbe Kaiser's mightiest fleet '��������� England responded to Germany's naval activity with a naval programme of her own so stupendous and so costly as to literally "stagger humanity." Tbe great arsenal at Woolwich, the shipyards at Portsmouth and Devon* port and Newcaatie-on-Tyne were ���������given dreadnoughts and super-dread- noughts to build as freely as if the orders were children's toys for the Christmas trade. ��������� France, with her superb army, is all ready to fight, so that she may wipe, from her escutcheon the red stains of 1870, her loss of Alsace and Lorraine, and Jhe infliction by Germany of a war indemnity which Bismarck meant and felt would beggar France forever,. In which be was mistaken. jBngland,J_it^M largest and most powerful in-the world, Is sick and tired of shivering w m Piii m mm into The man of the moment, not only in Italy, but also in Europe, is the Marquis di San Giuliano, Minister for Foreign Affairs. His voice and views more than those of any other man except King Victor Emmanuel will decide the. immediate course of Italy's foreign policy. The most difficult and delicate problem that has ever faced an Italian statesman since Italy became free-and united faces him today. But the author and prosecutor pf the campaign against Tripoli is not the man to shrink from it. The marquis is a Sicilian of Norman descent, some sixty-three years old, a senator and an inveterate student of international affairs. In nearly thirty-five years of political life he has held but four offices. His appointment in 1905.as Foreign Minister was not well received in Vienna and Berlin. He-knew far too muelr for the comfort of his country's allies. ' Happily; the King, who is Italy's wisest statesman, and the marquis see eye to* eye. ; Both worked together to; make the Tripolitan adventure not merely a, success, but the beginning of. a new Italian risorgimento (resurrection). Neither is a Jingo;" neither seeks or wishes to revive those colonizing enterprises that received so great a check at Adowa; but each is convinced that Italian interests can no longer be maintained by a merely negative policy. What line they will together map out in the present crisis will be known in a very short time. Meanwhile, it is werth remembering that when the Marquis di San Giuliano was the Italian ambassador in London some six or seven years ago he never disguised his faith that the old friendship between Great Britain and Italy should be something more than a tradition and should be cemented by practical co-operation between the two countries in the sphere of European politics. > ���������"-:���������< AN ECHO FROM DR. WILD Mr. G.-VG. Rublow, chief tdairy instructor for Eastern Ontario, asserts in the Peterboro Review that he heard Dr. Wild, of Toronto, more than a quarter of a" century agp predict a war in 1914, which would involve practically every European country, that. Great Britain would be forced into it, and that the prominent battles would be between the Britishers and the Germans. Modern fighting equipment would be tried out and the Germans would only be conquered after the most stubborn resistance. The climax would be reached in a great battle in the city of London, which would flush the.- gutters with human blood. j ' Rev. Dr. Wild often declared he was not a prophet or the son of a prophet, but' based his arguments upon the records found in the great Pyramid of Gizeh in Egypt. Dr. Wild of course believed and taught, like all who hold that Britain today represents I sreal of old���������that the British arms would finally triumph. cinwnilii ���������;, Below the the figures published by;' one of the, aggresive Moral - Reform Associations. ; This part o'f the-world doe^ not seem to beV growing .good at a prodigious rate:���������, V "The American yearly expenditures are as follows: White Slavery .........::..;.$3,000;OQd,000 Intoxicating Liquors ...... 2*000,000.0003 Tobacco 1,200,000,000 Jewelry ..........*.... 1,800,000,000 Church work (at home) _ 250,000,000 Confectionery 200,000,000 Soft Drinks ...;....... 120,000,000 Tea and Coffee .'. 100,000,000 : Millinery ....: :.............

The message which- His Royal Highness the. Duke of Connaught sent from the Government House at Ottawa to the Van-: couver Exhibition is as follows:��������� ' "I have much pleasure in declaring the Exhibition opened and wish it every success. Arthur." ��������� The message which His Royal Highness sent was promptly and suitably acknowledged. The programme for the opening consisted of addresses by President J. J. Miller, His Worship T. S. Baxr ter, Jonathan Rogers, Rev. Leslie- Pid- geon and James Finlay and a number of musical selections were rendered. The Western Triple Choir, under the directorship of Mr. George Taggart, rendered "O, Canada," "God of Our Fathers," "Heart of Oak," "God, the All Terrible," -"Canadian Born," "Rule Britannia." Solos were rendered: "The Dear Homeland," by Mr. John Jenkinson; "Land of Hope and Glory," Mrs. H.-H. Roberts; "Neptune," Walter Stevenson; "The Veteran's Song," Mr. John Jenkin son; "Marching Song." British Pat riotic song, "Rule Britannia," by Miss Gretta Harvie. The. speeches and the building were notably. Imperialistic, and Presidt-.it Miller in opening the cereuio ly, pointed out some of the d:fficu3tics under which the Exhibition had .la- bored to bring about a fair in sp'te of the fact that war was in progress and was having a marked effect on Vancouver's commercial life. Mr. Miller's speech was an address of welcome. He said that others had seen fit to cancel their exhibitions in the "Northwest, but Vancouver, with he* characteristic spirit, had gone forward with its plans and preparations'and the result was now apparent. He told of the Vancouver inhibition Association's labors on behalf 01 the British Empire-r-of how ;t had turned_over its grounds to the_ Irish Fusiliers and of its efforts to i ...ike Friday night , night, September .4, which .is the opening night of, the Horse Show, one of '^Jie best of the series, so that the proceeds from the Horse ShoVr, whiSh wi)l be turned over to the Vancouver War Fund, Will be very large. Mr. J. J. Miller theri ��������� proceeded to tell the Exhibition, visitors how big and extensive the exhibition was. He cited briefly'. something of the nature of the exhibits in the various, buildings and their educative value. Mr. Miller then gave place to His Worship Mayor Baxter. The Mayor had sincere praise for the confidence expressed by the Vancouver. Exhibition Association, ' and uttered some words of appreciation for the work 'and the plans of the Vancouver Exhibition Association in proceeding with its Exhibition in the face of what seemed at the start to be insuperable difficulties. He said that he hoped everybody recognized that by doing this, the Vancouver Exhibition Association performed a duty, a patriotic duty, and a fearless action. He said he hoped the citizens of Vancouver would show the Vancouver. Exhibition Association that its confidence was not misplaced. He said it was a duty to keep trade and commerce alive. He continued that we would not all have to risk our lives in war, and yet we are afraid ���������:some of us���������to risk our dollars. The Mayor then went on to tell of the actions of a very large section of the community in hoarding their money. He again congratulated the Exhibition Association for its confidence in Vancouver, and said the Board of Directors recognized their duty to keep things going and that they kept things going. He then went on.with a request to the people assembled to turn out to night again, and help swell the Vancouver War Fund by filling the pavilion, the proceeds of which will be, turned over to the W^r Fund. Before he ������������t down the Mayor said that he* would help all he could to see that the Vancouver Exhibition Association would nofhaveto ~face~a deficiency'at the close of the Exhibition.- ' '������������������',���������V/ "'.-.. Mr. Jonathan Rogers, president of the Vancouver Board of Trade, Rev. E. - Leslie" Pidgeon, President of the Rotary Club;v James Finlay? President* of the Industrial Bureau; then followed with short addresses. During the evening Mr. A., D. Kean, Chief *of the Cowboys, led 40 of his cowboys into the arena and marched around to considerable applause. The men made a brave snow, and it was remarked on the platform that if the Allies left wing were reinforced by men of that stamp it would have but little trouble in repulsing any number of Germans. The Horse Show opens to.iitfht at 8 o'clock sharp in the H^rsc Show pavilion. The Vancouver Exhibition Horse Show will be opened tonight in^the big stock judging pavilion on the Exhibition grounds. That performance will be one of the biggest and best of the entire series of horse show nights. ' ' Of particular interest is the fact that y.e proceeds of the show ^will be turned over to the Vancouver War Fund, and a large attendance is further justified by the fact that tonight's performance will be one of the most extensive and interesting of the whole Exhibition. Competition in the various events will be particularly keen and some very smart turn outs are expected on the tan bark. The events start at 7:30 with six single trotters. At 7:45 four hunting pairs will be put^through their paces and 8 o'clock three single broughams and three officers' chargers will enter the lists for honors. Four combination horses will be called at 8:10, and 8:20 an intermission will be announced in which the T)utton Troupe���������that clever vaudeville caste���������will entertain the gathering for half an hour At 9 o'clock the Corinthian cfess will-enter the ring for judging, and at 9:20 the feature of the evening show will be brought on, this being a special high jumping contest between the classiest jumpers in the coutnry. This last event Will close the first evening of the Exhibition Hors-e Shi>;,��������������������������� but special pert mnances wi!! be Aput on at all the*shows on the Skidway. The singing competition which will be held in conjunction with the Vancouver Exhibition will be open to choirs of 25 members from any scho'-l in British Columbia.' Mr. J������>hn Han- bury, the well known lumberman of Vancouver, has generously offered a handsome silver cup value.l at ?100, which will be competed for annually, and to this each year will be addvd medals by the Exhibition Association. Two test pieces of own selection in������- harmony with two or more parts, will form the subject of the competition, which, will be held at the fair grounds on Friday evening, September 7, at 8:00 o'clock.

The Strawberry Root Weevil ln British Columbia, with Notes on other Insects attacking Strawberry Plants in the Lower Fraser Valley, is the subject of bulletin No. 18 of the Second series of the Central Experimental Farm. This publication, which has' been prepared by Mr. R. C. Treherne, B. S. A., -is baaed upon, a careful study of the insect carried out in 1912-and 1913, by the writer, under the supervision of Dr. C. Gordon Hewitt, Dominion Entomologist. The Strawberry Root Weevil constitutes _ tbe ' greatest obstacle to the successful growing of strawberries in certain sections of the liower Fraser Valley; the investigations carried on* demonstrated tbat the control of this insect was dependent npon cultural methods and the system of cropping, and for this reason these aspects of the problem bav* been fully discussed in addition to tbe economic questions involved in the control of the weevil.

But I can prove to you most conclusively that even the mild use of stimulants' is incompatible with wprk requiring accurate attention and definite ..concentration. To assit me in the work of budding���������work that is as accurate and exact as watch making���������I have a force of twenty men. I have to discharge men from this forcb if incompetent.. Some time ago my foreman asked me if I took pains to inquire into the personal habits of my men. On being answered in the negative, he surprised me by saying that the men I found unable to do the delicate work of budding invariably turned out to.be smokers or drinkers. These men, while able to do rough work of farming, call budding and other delicate work "puttering," and have to.give it up, owing to inability to concentrate their nerve force. Even men who smoke one cigar a day Can not be trusted with some of the most delicate work. Cigarettes are even more damaging than cigars, and their use by young boys is little .shorjt'of criminal, and will produce in them the same results that sand placed in a watch will produce-���������destruction. I do not think that anybody can possibly bring up a favorable argument for.the use of cigarettes by boys. Several of my young acquaintances are in their graves who gave promise of making happy and useful citizens; and there is no- question whatever that cigarettes alone were the cause of their destruction. No boy living would commence the use of cigarettes if he knew what a useless, worthless thing they would make of him. fMt**4V'S,,4V'j*4Mt''M^**i'4w������M8'4>,4V4*'4fr4^ .% FRANK TRIMBLE REALTY CO.: I Real Estate and Insurance Brokers J CONVEYANCING RENTS COLLECTED r LOANS NEGOTIATED * t PHONE Fair: 185 260 Kingsway J Vancouver, B.
