ROCKEFELLER SIBS F15RNIE, Dec. 24.-Tho recent announcement from Calgary with' regard to. the new working agreement between the Western Coal Operators iisocliitlon and representatives of thu United Mine Workers of America for this district, carrying a. 14 per cent general advance ln wages and approved by the director of coal iterations, has created much Interest locally, and Is tho topic of considerable conjecture. In tli.ls camp, as' appears to bo widespread throughout district 18, the lurge majority of the miners have definitely renounced the United Mine Workers of America and gone ovor to the One Dig Union. The miners of Gladstone local union here hold a special muss meeting this I morning nf which, it Is'reported there wuij a large attendance and after a lengthy session tho following resolution jVas unnnlmou: "Bolleving that ltw-*!sentmrnIiiit*tHei*6 Blioiiia he no disruption In the coal mining industry ■this muss meeting of miners is prepared to accept the 14 per cent advanco offered by the coal operators and agree to keep the new agreement mado by both parties but will fight to a finish any attempt t6 force us to join the United Mine Workers of Ahiorlea'." This decision ls interpreted to mean that pending further developments the rumored striko supposed to he called for, Jan. 1 by thc One Big Union In these | fields wlll not materialize. Under, the new agreement, apparently, the United Mlno Workers or America have won a decisively favorable point by nchlevlng for Its members through tho "Check off" what virtually amounts to an absolute closed shop while with thc local miners bearing allegiance to tho officially union recognized one big union the peculiarity of the situation Is quite evident. The Crows Nest Pass Coal Company yesterday notified the city council that in view of the wago increases just granted to mlno employes averaging 14 per cent all round, that the director of coal operations had. granted them authority to make u corresponding advance in the prico of coal to consumers. This Increase in the .selling price wlll amount to 34 cents per net ton and is retroactive from Dec. 15.

E Premier Oliver to Submit Measure When - Legislcitvi^e' Opens - VICTORIA, U. €., Dec. 1!-!.—What amounts tn a new election law in British Columbia—although it wil! he secured hy amending the present act—was announced by Premier Oliver this, morning. The measure is to he hrought forward by the premier at tho forthcoming session of the legislature. "Thc new election amendment act," said Premier Oliver, "will be in fulfilment of the promise I mado to tho last legislature to bring up this session the question ol" a now oloctlo nact. In working out the amendments I have boon guided by a desire to arrive at a method whereby the election lists will ho kept purged of dead and absentee, voters and at thc same time make it easy for each voter to register and vote. This has been mado more necessary than ever since women have been admitted to the voters' list." Under thc premier's proposed bill it Is intended to cancel all existing voters' lists, to provide a number of special tomporary registrars to revise the list onco a year Instead of twice, with a revision before each election, to provide an autograph check system to prevent impersonation, to permit a voter to vote in any part of* thc province for his home candidate, and to automatically drop from the list all persons who fall to exercise their franchise.

The Truth Is largely this:. That Immunity is essentially linked with the Eternal and essentially one ln Itslfi that mankind Is a brotherhood and n unity; that tlie secret of life Is service; that seUlsliness ls the root of sin nnd sorrow and separation; that Love Is thc root of creation, the fount and power of life, the salvuli f humanity ond thc heart of God.

NOTED ARTISTS Playriglit, Dance Author, Musical Composer and Designer An illustration of the artistic talent tlmt Nelson could well boast of is to be found in connection with the revue "Fads and Fancies," which is shortly to be produced under the auspices of the G.W.V.A., and-which, with the exception of. one number, is iu every respect a local production. The author of the playlet Is 'Roland Qoodchild, who served overseas ln the Australian forces, and who came to Nelson to reside three months ago. He has two playlets running in London at thc present time, and is also the author of several popular songs. Since coming to Nelson Mr. Goodchild has written two dramatic productions, a three-act play, "In tho .Heart of the Kootenay," and the one-act playlet already referred to. Rene J. Bray, who practically stage-managed the Canadian corps concert parties overseas, and Is also now a resident of Nelson, is the composer of two dances which ore to be seen for the first time in con nectlon with the G.W.V.A. theatrical. One of these is a plcrotte toe dance ontitled "Tho While Pierotte and tho .Nightingale," which will be danced by Miss Grace Brett ,and the other is a classical dance on the Grecian model, which Mr. Bray, with the aid of Miss Brett, himself will illustrate. p. Warner Smith, another Nelson resident and returned soldier, has arranged the music for theBe dances, and hns also written the «core for a novelty jazz-clasBic' qflartctte with obligate Ono other feature also owes to local talent. The scenery has been designed by a young matron who la now a resident of thc city, and who also la responsible for the designs of some ot thc costumes.

I mi' '"i WHAT CANADA FOUGHT FOR Canadians were fighting In tho war tiulte a long time before a good many of their oouuntrymen realized they _vere fighting for Canada. Many clung to the Idea, tbe Ottawa Journal points out, that Canada was merely helping Britain to save France and Belgium and to prevent the danger of German supremacy In Europe. Cannda, It was ■—thought, was taking part of affection for tbe Mother Country, and so, there was no urgency for or exerting ourselves beyond the demands of that friendship. Some Canadians nover abandoned,the Idea; they failed to the end to see that Canada was fighting for herself, that sho had to fight to save herself; they did not realize that a victorious Germany meant a cort quered Cannda. The suggestion that Germany contemplated aggression on Canada was flouted, In tho military service controversy of 1917 lt wns urged by antlconscriptlonlsts that Canada hod "dono enough for England." And now when the danger is over gome of us who did recognize Canada's real purpose whll the wnr was In progress nre Inclined to forgot and to forgot' and to think our judgment was temporarily carried away by sentiment created by patriotic propaganda. The belief that Canada was fighting for Britain and not for herself was held more strongly In Quoboc than anywhere else. Even at this lato dato no less conspicuous a person than Senator Dandurand entertains it and voices it as an accepted loot. Speaking for a delegation which asked tho Quebec Government on Saturday last for 11,000,009 to assist Laval University, the Senator ls reported as asserting that "the Government had given 11,000,000 to the Canadian Patriotic Fund to Save French culture In France and It was asked that tho same amount be given to aid French culture here." Of course the monoy granted to the Patriotic Fund was not given to save Frenoh culture or on behalf of France ln any way but an Incidental one. It was glvon to provldo for tbe wives and children of Canadian soldiers who were ln France fighting for Panada and the British Empire. Let there be ho doubt about it. (Germany from the very first bad her eyes on Canada, regarded ber as an enemy and' looked to her aa a valuable walr prise. It ls not Imagination pr guess work. The leaders of Germany have themselves furnished the liroot On August 6, 1914, the day •iter war was declared between Britain and Germany, Count Von Moltke, Chief ot the German Military Staff, advised the German foreign office ot measures that should be taken against Canada. Tbe publication of official state documents by the German Government shows that in a memorandum trom Von Moltke to the foreign of floe on that date he proposed that use be made of the "friendly Germany colony" in America. He declared that .... it might be possible to induce America to take naval action, "In return tor whloh Canada beckons ae a prise ot victory." The German war leaders knew, no matter how many Canadians did not, that Canada waa fighting for herself. In view of the part Canada's effort had Ip the defeat of Germany, lt is well that she fought aa she did.

TEXTILE MILLS HI LILLE BUSY Plants Destroyed by the Germans Are Now forking LILLE, France, Dec. 24.—Forty thousand persons are at work ln the French textile mills, which only, a tew months ago were razed looted of their delicate machinery by the Germans, The correspondent of the Associated Press was given the fact with reference to the Industry today by French authorities who have arranged a trip to show him the. strides made by the nation ln reconstruction. Within a year, government officials and manufacturers agree production of textiles wlll reach half of the pre-war total, and within two years, these men forecast, the 1914 output will be surpassed. The wool Industry Is aald to be recovering most rapidly, with cotton in second place. Linen weaving Is reported to be slowest In getting back to normal, because of the shortage of flax, formerly obtained from Russia, Rev. D. J. MeClintoek "Hear those tuneful bells, Happy bells pf Christmas time. j Yes, they aro "happy bells" for they speak of peace, and "peace" is especially slnco the war, le one of the anointed words which hold high rank In human speech. To some of our men lt means more than ever before, as It is their first Christmas at home since the ceasing of hostll Itles. Wo wish all'these men t merry Christmas. To many other homes Chrlstmns will mean a revival ot memories of happier times which ca never return In their world. To theso' sorrowing homes we pray that tho angel of mercy may bring a message of hope, pointing them "To whero beyond these voice's, there is peaco." Is this peace to continue? Indications are that slnco the armistice was signed we have been living on the verge of a great revolutionary war. In many countries the rod flag has been raised, and In many others It Is ready when the tlmo Is opportune. Behind this red flag Is a deep-rooted distrust of current authority.

Alienated ones are brought together, for tho spirit of tfio times ls forgetful and forgiving. There is no clash of conflicting theories, no strife of' contending classes, no warfare of opposing Interests, for Into the transient silence comes the, music "Peace on Earth Good Will to. Men" This message rids Us of the coldness of materialism, which Is ur chief enemy today.

For such that we havo many good men in pub- We pray, lie life. But we must all admit that there is some ground for such widespread and deep-rooted distrust, if ?hen, we are to pass through this transition time to tho better day without another war, the mon In our governments must, put forth even' effort to restore the confidence of men In the righteousness and unsel flshness as the representatives of tbe people. Inhlsaiah's picture of hlR Ideal kingdom, he snld. "A king shall reign In righteousness and princes shall rule In Justice." Unless righteousness and Justice be at the foundation of our present polltlcol life there can be no permanent peace. nnd thc man who destroys the public confidence in the government of our country Is helping to push us over tho edge of the precipice. To the church also comes this same challenge to restore thc trust of men. Great bodies of men In Canada are not only Indifferent to tbe church, they are openly antagonistic. They claim that the charch has not fought the battle of te poor. Her ministers ave dipped their colors to the capitalistic flag and have failed to proclaim a fearless message of righteousness. Much of this criticism is as unfair as the general condemnation of all governments. But we must not close our eyes to the fact that the church has not always been worthy of her high call ing. The formation of labor churches in many Canndian cities Indicates the serious nature of the cleavages between the toiling masses and the established ohurches. The challenge than that comes to us as ministers and church members Is to be worthy of the restored confidence of men everywhere, thus making for continued peace. But after all. people usually have the kind of government and church they deserve. Politics are the out come of a nation's character. What the people are, that wlll their politics be. No government will attempt a policy for which the nation behind It has no conscience. Especially ls this truo of a democratic country like ours, where we elect our parliaments and call our ministers. The appeal Is therefore to all classes, politicians, ministers, church members, all men must work together In the creation of the spirit ot mutual trust,ond good will, In which tho spirit of war will surely die. "God glvo us men! Tho tlmo demands Strong mind's, great hearts, truo faith and willing hands; Men whom the lust of office dies not kill; Men whom tho spoils of office cannot buy; Tall mon, sun crowned, who live above the fog N. R. Fallis We have come to tho dawn of a new day, and one feels almost llko quoting all. the famous lines of Tennyson In his Immortal "In Memoriam, in whloh he says "Ring ot tho old. rlni in the new." The. prewar has moved away from us never to come back. The old order of things must go to make room for the spirit of eight million Wn who have died for a larger world. They call upon tie to ring out the old evils and ring In the new. gpod. They call upon us to* ring qut "the feud of rich and poor" the "want, the care, the sin." They call upon ua with Tennyson to ring in nobler modea of life, sweeter manners, purer laws, redress for all mankind, tho larger heart, the kindlier hand, the valiant man and free, the milleniuni Of peaco and the Christ that Is to be. The millions beneath the little crosses ln France ask this of us who live. They haVe d right to ask It. They died that these things might como to pass, and'their broken bodies threaten to stir beneath tho poppies of Flanders If we fall through neglect. "If ye break faith with us who dlo, we shall not sleep, though popples grow ln Flander's Fields." Wo dare not go back to the old order. We must ring ln the new, arid to havo a real part In the ilfilng of it is ono of the. greatest, prlvllags In life today. j The bells of pejifo call upon us to rng out the feud of rich and poor, and to ring in redress, for all manklng. The present unrest that calls for this la to be welcomed. The conditions of the past 25 years In the social and Industrial world have been anything but healthy. They were leading us along the way of ruin. Th unrest has been like the stretching ot Imprisoned limbs, and will bo regarded as a prophecy of growth and liberty. What we all noed Is a clear vision of the day we art in and to adjust ourselves to this day. Wo must ring out many forms of charity and phllanthrophy and ring ln the larger spirit of liberality which the war has fostered. A liberality that will favor a more Just distribution of wealth. The new order will not tolerate the men who amass fortunes, by unjust accumulation of wealth, arid who later tn life seek to salve their consciences by dealing lt out In charities, endowing universities and erecting libraries, as good as tho objects may bo. These things must only be dono after a Just distribution of wealth all along the line, and not HAVE VOU SCROFULA? Now Said te Be aa Often Acquired ae Inherited It la generally and chiefly Indicated by eruptiona and sores, but In many cases It enlarges the glands of the neck, affects the internal organs, especially the lungs, and if neglected may develop Into consumption, It causes many troubles, and is aggravated by impure air, unwhole some food, bad water, too much heat or cold, and want ot proper exercise, Hood's Sarsaparilla, the medicine that has been used with, so much satisfaction by three generations, la wonderfully successful ln the treat- ment of scrofula.

Wishing All Our Customers MERRY CHRISTMAS at the expense of producers throughout the years. We" must ring out the false ln religions of today, and ring in tho spirit of Christ and His message to Mankind. Many are beginning to realize that much that Ib unworthy and untrue has attached itself to the creeds and politics of the churches. In some cases formalism has robbed the church of a living faith and creeds at times have been exalted rather than Christ. Reverence has depdrtcd from tho people. Bigotry, pretence and prejudice must give place to the lovo o truth and right, to sweeter manners, the larger heart and kindlier hand. In this the church can take the leadership, thus helping to bring In tbo kingdom of God, nnd ln ringing out the old order "ring In the Christ that is to be."

They are dumped Into a long, narrow tank of water, at one end of which is a big wheel with a tire of sofn bristles. This wheel turns round so that the lower edge works with an other set of brushes below, and thc oranges, after bobbing about In tho water, pass between these wet brushes nnd come out bright and clear- In some of the small packing houses women cleun oranges by hand Kadi with a tub of water and brush scrub busily away at huge pll"s of oranges, which never seem to grow less.
