At'C o'clock last evening the num-1 her of persons who had subscribed to the Red Cross during the present campaign was (125 with a monthly total of $062. ln addition to this sum tho canvassers have collected $531.85 In donations and this sum Includes 12 life memberships at $25 each. The women of thi.1 Red Cross society stale their pleasure at tho result and slate that they will be able to take in more workers and turn out more material for the hospitals now that they have an increase in funds, They never have been short of labor though some of them have worked hard, Tlie difficulty has always been lo finance ihe project and to pay lor material with which to make the articles. The collectors stated last evening that' It was hard to believe canvassers could have such a good reception. When they wont to a door and the residents found they were for the Red Cross thoy were immediately graciously admitted. Willing to Help. One collector reported that ut one place he encountered a family who were newcomers to thc city. The woman of the house was not young and her husband liad been 111 for Home time. She apoonlzed for not being able to give much as .she explained they were In poor circumstances. "1 don't want to be left out,'* she explained. "Will you accept $1 a month?" The canvassers urged her lo give less but she Insisted and said, "We can sacrifice something else for ihe Red Cross." At one home the mother of a family met thom and said her three girls had been crying because they thought the Red Cross men were not going to call. They had gone to the house next dour ur. the previous day and had tiult there as it was late in the afternoon. The mother gave $1 a month and her five year old (laughter came in and said, I want, to give, too." Her mother wanted her lo leave her money in her little bank and keep the amount out of what she had coming. Takes Money Out of Bank. Tho patriotic tot would not submit to this but insisted that tho amount be taken out of hor bank. The bank was opened and she gave lo cents a month and paid her wholo year's subscription In advance. "When her two sisters, aged 7 and 9, eame home from school they saw that the baby was wearing a Red Cross tag. They felt very bad to think that they had missed the canvassers. The thoughtful mother had arranged for the men to return and tho two children were made happy and opened their bunks and gave $1.20 each as their year's subscription. The committee reported that they received the best subscriptions. from those who were forced to stint themselves to give. Widows of soldiers and those with sons and husbands overseas were epecially anxious to give. Several were asked to cut down their subscriptions as tlie canvassers knew they were giving liberally according.to their means. In every Instance they refused and stated that they could go without something else but that the Red Cross must have money to carry on Its good work, Where persons were not In when the canvassers called, in nearly every instance, they came to thc office of thc secretary with their money. The committee expects to havo completed the canvass of the city by tonight and they are more than pleased with tho success of the campaign, CURE FOR BLUES Billy Oswald and His Supporting Cast Plays to Large Audience SPECIAL BARGAIN SIN White Mary Jane SHOES 50 Pull* of White Canvas with leather Holes; sizes 314 to 5; worth J2.II0; special price $1.45 30 PairB of the same; sizes 11 to 13; worth $1.50; special . ., price — S1.15 20 Pairs, sizes 6 to 10; por pair 95c 120 Pairs Boys' Shoes, niadc pf mule skin;.good leather solos; Just the shoe your hoy needs for 111** vacation; sb.es 11 lo 13, per palr..$2.45 Sb.es S to 10, per pair S1.05 Sizes 0 to S, per pair S1.65 C.

UWifi.ZScnti, Billy Oswald maintained his good reputation with Nelson theatregoers lust evening when a largo iiudienee saw him in "You're Js'ext." Billy usual, kept thc audience in screams of laughter, and judging by tho applause they appreciated him -as much if not more thnn ever, "You're Next," which is described as a musical farce, is certainly a sure cure for tho blues. Unlike most farces, this play contains a real plot. Mr, Oswald plays tho part uf Alexander McSwank, a Scotch barber who became the tool of a sporty youth. Anyone who knows Jlilly and hns heard him before knows that "Mc" and Billy Oswald go hand iii hand. McSwank, after an evening of wine and song, Is taken home wllh his friend the sport in a very incapacitated condition. To suppress thc suspicions of the family, McSwank is Introduced us a theosophist filled witli Oriental lore. Thc family, attcr this introduction, recognize him as a novel and interesting visitor, and they have hopes of him aiding thom in entering the particular class of society in Which they desire to shine. This Scutch barber, whose characteristic appears to be an unsatlsflablc thirst Cor Scotch whisky, does not possesses much knowledge of phylop- tera and the side-splitting situations which follow can easily be imagined as Scotty tries to carry out the deception. . , Mr.Oswald's work with Miss Sheldon in the mirror Incident brought peels of laughter from the house. In' order to keep the fakir from escaping, his clothes had been hidden and ho made a peculiar appearance decked In a yellow curtain with a towel for a turban. This dross assisted him in tho Illusion that ho was a theosophist. Tho expression "Is tha' a fac'?" has beon heard Innumerable times throughout the city and It was originated here by Billy Oswald. Ho repeated the expression last evening und caused thc audience to laugh as before. Ho also has a good comedy song written around the phrase, ■•Miss Kathlyn Sheldon was, us before, exceedingly clever and funny. She represented the widowed aunt who had reached a stage In her life's history where she was ((idle ready to accept positively anyone with a marriage prospect. Her gowns aro worthy of special mention. J Miss Beatrice Cannon, ns Dolly, made a name with the audience both in her recitations and songs. Miss Marie Thayer, a very protty girl, showed exceptional intelligence. Her enunciation was good and her lines woro.well delivered, MISH Rtfner ha Vomon as Crumpets, tho maid, had i difficult part and did a lot of work for one so- "chic." The part of Phyllis, played by Miss Olive Stahley, was-wcll done and shti deserves thc appreciation shown by the crowd. Robert Knight danced in a pleasing style. He mado a. fine character tho irresponsible Jack Fairbanks, who had more money than sense. He is it decided asset to the musical part ot the play and held thc plot together throughout. It is seldom such a youthful and attractive bunch of girls appear as were seen last evening In "You're Next." They can all dance and sing well. As thc company is unable to play at Trail and get to Grand Forks for Saturday night they have been engaged to repeat the performance here on Saturday night. This Is Billy Oswald's, sixth visit to thc city and he has gained a reputation which, will always bring him a crowded house, and ho said last evening he wns* please'^ I" think ho would be able to again play to a Nelson audience. | THE WEATHER *.\lin.

Committee Makes Arrangements 'for Holding of Mining Convention on July 8-9-10. Present prospects for the coming international mining convention at Rer- elstoke, July 8, 9 and 10 next arc of the most' encouraging character, the Revelstoke Review pays. Tho amount of work being done by the executive committee Is enormous and every day's results but help make wider and bigger the indication of success. The convention at Revelstoke this year started under most happy and auspicious guarantees of success. It was endorsed at Nelson convention last year; at .Spokane last January, and at tho associated boards of trade of Eastern British Columbia in February bf thlsi year. Then, too, Vancouver chamber of mines, which liad thought bf holding a convention this year/gave Sight of way. to Revelstoke, and the onsequence is there is practically united provincial mining interest back- ng the Revelstoke project, . And another thing: The very best men in the province and over the lino Ir Spokane and district, have enthusiastically volunteered their Individual and Influential support; and many of the public men "over there" and at home have signified their Intention of being present. Coast mining Interests are arranging to bo present in force and personally they are justly entitled to be afc any review of provincial mining industry discussion, both theoretical and practical.' One other prospect for success which Revelstoke will probably succeed in winning Is.tho attendance of a very large number of influential and interested prairie men,- men who have money invested in mines; others willing to Invest more, in all or any propositions which can present just and sufficient reason for intelligent investment or, perhaps, ^peculation, Farmers may; metaphorically *',be, from Missouri"; it is the miners' business, to answer their query-to-"Show me," . Elaborate of fort, to ■ "show me" and sundry and all concerned*.in securing for exhibits, mineral samples collections from all over., the country has been mode; and-It Is gratifying to .learn'with most encouraging and-kindly response.

The appi-oaching convention of ink Western Canada Irrigation association at Nelson raises the tjuestion, "To what extent is tlie dry farmer interested in irrigation?" Thore has been a tendency in "the past, ovon among farmers, tq think of dry farming and irrigation j-js bein^, in a senseMrival, modes of agriculture, it is ot the utmost importance to the development of western Canada, where both kinds of farming aro praetiited on the largest scale iiV'America, that their interdependence should he projiorly understood. ITad western Canada heen first settled by farmers from irrigation countries the history of ligriculture in these provinces would hiive been "very different, As it is, our first settiers, and even most of our settlers to tlie present day, were from eastern Canada, the'eastern States, or those parts of Europe where irrigation is not employed. They came to western Canada with no knowledge uf inigatioh. They havo learned dry farming from the settlers in tlie semi-arid regions of tho western States, and they are now learning irrigation largely- from the same source. Dry Farming and Irrigation The Western Canada Irrigation, association recognizes thai, tiie relationship between dry farming ind irrigation is a very close one indeed, and and*-dry-farming* will be represented by worthy champions. Stock Raising and Dairying There''is another'phase of'agriculture, h-irwever, to which'both'irrigation andi dry farming are merely stepping:' stones.-; That is stock raising-and. dairying. The exceptional demand for, wheat due to conditions arislng..put,,of- the war may temporarily .overshadow, the profits of the live stock business,, hut evory agriculturist knows thnt. in- live stock lies tho permanent safety of the wholo industry! The extent to which'irrigation fosters the live stock industry Is not generally understood. There ls an .opinion abroad that irrigation has .to do mainly with the raising of fruits arid vegetables. Nothing could bo further from the truth. The great Irrigated crop is hay, of which alfalfa is chief. Tables showing the Irrigated crops raised in tho United States reveal the fact that over.61 per cent of the entire irrigated crop area of the United Stdtes is devoted to raising hay, and of this area one-half (30.6 per cent) is in alfalfa. The area devoted to fruits'of all kinds is only 4.7 per . cent, of the whole; sugar beets, 2.5 per cent;-and-potatoes* 2.3 per cent. importance of Hay | The overwhelming importance of hay in irrigated.countries is evidenced by the foregoing figures. In*, the irri- for that reason a'considerable space on the program is devoted, to dry fanning. At the ,convention which is to be held here on July 24, -J5 and 20, Hon. \y. It. .Motherwell, minister of agriculture in Saskatchewan, and a dry farmer of many years' experience, is to give an address on "The.Principles of Dry Farming." .Mr. Motherwell was president of the association a. year ago, and was presiding officer at the convention held at arable Creek, Sask., where his practical experience as a farmer contributed greatly to the interest of the meetings. Dr. Fortier to Attend The officers of the association state they have a letter from Dr. Samuel [''ortier, chief of the irrigation division of the United States department of agriculture, staling that he will prohably be able to attend the convention and lhat if so He will' be very glad' to deliver an address.

If Germany can produce pessimists or--grousers, ■ or as they havo been forcefully if inelegantly called in tho United States "bellynchors," among the "entente peoples it has mado pro gi-eas toward weakening the entente will to victory and dbstroylng cntcnto morale.'
