In any case the province, ln view of the government, could not consider It for a moment.

Gray. who expressed his appreciation of being called to tnis signal honor, though realizing hts limited qualification for the task. There must be some strong reason, ho said, behind the worldwide celebration on this date annually, of the blr>h of a numbie boy in a humble Scottish cottage. The strong reason waj> thai, while Burns addressed nlmself tn his poems primarily to the Scottish people, those poems went to the heart of the people in every walk of life, and wherever the English language was known. One element In this sppeal wae that Bums took th* simple things of life as the subjects for his poems, simple things familiar to all. What a picture sprang to the mind's era at the eipresslon.

This was accepted and a hearty vote of thanks given him. H* feelingly responded ' Plrp~r^ion~.n" his r^™.~Alderrn__ and stated that he would still do his 0ray mia. He had an'abounding best to aid tlie club. Nominations for the vacated office resulted in the unanimous choice of James Davidson, Jr. Mr. Davidson thanked m club for Its confidence. A question from the floor brought out the fact that so far no special benefits hsd been given the members by reason of their payment of annual dues. It was then decided that non-members Attending the functions of the club would be charged an additional 10c an whatever entrance fee the members paid. As the club now owns, without encumbrance, Its own piano, dishes and other equipment, and as there Is no special object to rats* funds for, Jt was decided to lower the charges for entertainments during the slack winter season: Miss M. Fisher, secretary, reported that a number of the new members had Joined up. During the evening, over ISO wae paid ln. The first and third Wednesdays of each month were decided on for the club's entertainments. love for Scotland, so much so that Scotland today was sometimes called "The land cf Burns." One of the influences ln his life was •tlie 'Ute of Wallace." the first hook he read, from which he became after with patriotic fervor, much _ a recruit, becoming acquainted with the glorious traditions of his regi ment, might beoome steeped 1A a determination to oarry them on. From Burns' life, the speaker suggested tbe moral that Soot* and those of Scottish descent today should so live and act that Scotland oould be proud of them. Alderman Oray named 'The Cotter's Saturday Ntgnc" as his favorite poem, and dwelt on its simple theme, the Uttle cocUMte ot "but and ben," in which the numbie farm laborer gathered his Uttle family for the Saturday night dt>- votlons. Quoting passages from the familiar classic, he declared 'the ver lilt of lt" put tbe simpio scenes before one's eyes. Its teaching was that "An honest man's the noblest work of Ood." tX'ND OF HUMOR One of the attributes of Burns was a strong sense of humor that never failed him. and he oould thrust at the follies and totbles of men on every occasion offering. Vet he had plenty of foibles ol his own, and. Alderman Oray remarked , Bui ns or ten laughed at himself. To keep things in a proper perspective, one ahould laugh at himself occasionally. This was good even for an araerm&n, he suggested. Picturing the self-important man strutting, Burns appraised him with the Jibe, "The man o* independent mln', he looks and laughs at a1 that." While laughing at foibles, and mercilessly f.ayiug hypocrisy, Bums, Alderman Oray sal d, had a deep respect for all that wae good. Picturing htm successively as ths boy of obscure blrlh the plowman, the prolific Singer, and finally tlie Hon of Edinburgh, at that tlms probably tlie literary capital of Europe, Alderman Oray carried the alory to the final act, of his dissolution, pointing out that his dying prophecies were fulfUled, and that the world today accorded him universal honor, alike from the humble and the intellectual. i'LEAKINO PROGRAM Following Alderman Oray*s ad- dresa, which was followed by long and loud applause, a pleasing program of entertainment numbers was given. Ths Misses Grace and Daisy May gave "The Auld 3cotch Sangs" as a pleasing duet, to which "O Wert Thou In the Cauld Blast" was an equally pleasing encore. A. Pagdln sang with singular apipeal "Mary," *lth "Calling Me Home to You" ai, sn encore. "Where Hath Scotland Found Her Fame" was exquisitely sung by Mrs. John Gansncr, with "Bonnie Doon'' as the encore. Nelson Ball pleasingly rendered "Lassie o' Mine," and encored with the historic "A Hundred Pipers." Mian Mae Ferguson brought down the house with ner recitation of "The Wee Tewky," from "Wee Mac- Greegor," and gave as an encore "The Broken Bowl." The final entertainer was Miss Ruth Craufurd, whose solos, 'Mlac- Orsgor's Gathering." and "Caller Herring," were most wai mly applauded. Miss Ina Steed and Mrs. Nelaon Ball acted as accompanists. At the close cf the program. Chief Spelrs warmly thanked the artists, and all those who had contributed to ihe success of the function. The foor was then cleared, and dancing was indulged ln to a laie hour. CONSOLIDATED HIGH SCHOOL CRESTON AIM Trustees to Go Into Matter of Fourth Tear Class for Fall r*R__TON.

Did you ever get mixed up with tbe wrath of some good woman? Did you ever sit and listen snd not say a word? And did you ever, after hearing lt all, feel like leading a left hook, and following up with a smash to the chin? But being a gentleman, you had to be polite, so you took It like a man, didn't you? Well they say a woman can tame anything. Who was lt who whipped nine wildcats every morning before breakfast?

His hide Is likely being prepared for a prominent place on the Ubrary floor. t » * A lady at Elk River, and she It not a golfer . . . She doesn't know a thing about the links, has proven that such a thing as a wild lynx does not worry her. She Just stepped rlgnt up and combed the monster to death. This lady Is a chicken fancier and runs a fine poultry farm. Taking a motherly Interest m her flock, she did not like late callers at her chicken farm. She believed the chickens should get to roost early. But when a large lynx visited her establishment she proceeded, besides raising her chickens. to raise the hair on said bobcat, and. single banded, alay it. sea This was no little bobcat either. It measured four feet from atem to stern, and it had a temper thst only members of this particular family can display. The lynx entered the henhouse and conducted a gre-.t slaughter. The prloe of poultry dwindled suddenly, and ready plucked feathers were s numerous enough to make a feather mattress. But the lady was determined. She grabbed a garden rake and the battle was on. She went inside and locked the door behind bar. Very womanlike. I would say. Then, although not related to tht story I read, I guess she started talking, With every word there likely was a blow or a good raking. Well, by the time she hsd finished giving Mr. Lynx a good raktog over ha was non-existent.. But there wsre minutes when feminine and feline threats rent the air. A real catflght.

German City Turns French The mlrscle of Strasbourg—the, transformation of a German clt> Into one typically and predominantly French—has been practically accomplished with ln the comparatively few years since the World War. The change oould not be made ln less than a generation, It was affirmed by some when the historic city was restored to France after the wsr. But it has been done. The story Is told by E. M Newman in his new trsvel book. "Seeing France." Several years after the war, says Mr. Newman, "the city waa as German as ever. Walters at the hotels and restaurants spoke French conaPlclously. One observes a few beer-drinkers, But they quickly Inquired, "Verstehen Sie Deutsch?" snd if they received affirmative answer, they were pleased, and the guest received far better service." At that time, Mr. Newman writes: They ssld that Strasbourg would not be French before another generation; but they were mistaken. Today one finds It as typically French as the Parlsan boulevards. All the ahop signs are ln the French language, and so are the advertisement of the tramesrs and buses and the menus at the restaurants and hotels. The visitor hardly hears a word German unless lbs announces that he understands that langu- _»; aud can not understand /rench. German has become a concession of courtesy to visitors; French Is tht official and almost die universal language. It Is considered not so "polite" to speak in German. The principal stores hsve taken on a chic that is typically French. i ml never observed to Germany, oven ln the metropolis. Paris newspapers ars the popular reading of the people. Tbe streets ln the centre of ttee town are filled with little Iron tables and chairs, where people spend touts, sipping coffee or cordials, and gossiping about the affairs of the day. One observes a few beer-drinkers; but they may be seen anywhere to France. Even citlaens of German ancestry particularly the younger generation' appear to enjoy the innovation, probably they had a smattering of French before the war, for many of the population understood and spoke both languages; but now they seem to en.at loudly ln the cafes to prove their fluency In the French tongue. The leaven has worked. Often It ls a alow process; but there has been speedy sccomplish- ment a„ Strasbourg.

TOLD IN RIME What the Press Says BE JUST TO OBEAT BRITAIN equate. ioday innumerable plans are be- According to a statement Issued by the British Government, a debt payment was made early tin is week on the patr of that nation to the United States Treasury of $94.- 33fi.ooo. Of this amount iljs.ooo.- Ouo Is for replayment of principal, while the balance represents Interest. Since tha funding of the British war debt, tmat nation has paid to the United States $1,265.- 760,000, of which •203.000,000 represents repayment of principal. Roughly speaking, therefore, Oreat i Britain has paid the United States i aa interest something over *1,000,- 000.000. If one in interested enough to look up the Treasury figures regarding them payments lt will be found thst Great Britain pays In interest approximately 3.306 per oent. The rates vary during different portions of the 63-year period In which the_ indebtedness ls Ing proposed for the u,llazation of the sum* paid to Uie United Btat.es as interest on the war debts for various purposes advantageous to the countries making the payments. America is asked to repeat to a degree its benevolent gesture toward China when the whole amount of the Boxer indemnity was remitted, the revenues to be employed in the education of Chinese students. DoubUeaa a certain unrest on the part of the Amerloan conscience Is responsible for the suggestion of like action with reference to war indebtedness, and probably in time out of that will proceed some measure for the rey- Ialon and perhaps lessening of the nation's claims.

Seven years ago this middle- aged, whiskered farmer came tb Canada from Austria and made good. He Is now a laborer and his savings amount to $690. Yesterday Alex Interviewed Commissioner Andrew Leslie at tbe city hall. He mad; a gallant bow and kissed the commissioner's hand. Then from a pocket he drew a pack of bills and offered it to the official—for the unemployed. The, roll contained $590. The Austrian - Canadian philanthropist wanted to see the city's .oblesa ln a happier state. Relief Oimps, he thought, were far from satisfactory. In fact, Alex urged th.it unemployed single men be housed in hotels and fed at restaurants. That was why he offered his savings. Commissioner Leslie hastily assured the former farmer that Saskatoon wae quite able to look after ite out-of-works. StUl, he had to stuff the $390 in Alex's pocket as the benefactor , of the unemployed turned to leave. Hotels for th* workleas are still things of the future.

The turnout was disappointing aa to numbers, but there waa no tack of enthusiasm on the part of those present, and many matters were promptly dealt with. In hia address ths president briefly sketched the activities of 1930, which included the establishing ot an egg shipping depot, which has been generously patronised not only by Institute members, but by many others, with tbe result that practically all the eggs leaving Creaton are now being handled at the Institute station. The financial etatement as submitted by the secreta*. and treasurer Charles Mlrrrell. wae adopted. This reveals the fact that supplies purchased last yew for members amounted to about 490,000. This Included 90 cars of hay, grain, flour, etc. along with 65 cars of powder, while miscellaneous supplies purchased amounted to 81700. There has been steady growth tn membership, wblch now stands at 66 and 100 members for 1931 Is now confidently anticipated. The former directors were favored with reelection. They are Don. Bradley, W. H. Hilton, K. E. Paulson, Charles Moore and E.

Llttlejorn resolution in connection with central selling, ln which It Is affirmed Creaton Is opposed to tjio new motv unless complete locnl autonomy ls guaranteed, was endorsed, and the Institute is prepared to put up one-fifth of the expense of sending a delegate to Victoria If the proposed new marketing policy Is to corns before the agricultural committee of the B. O. legislature. Definite decision on this will he made after hearing the reports of tho creston delegates to the Kelowna convention, who are to address a growers meeting on Monday afternoon. In reply to a letter from creston Valley Hospital association, asking for support of Creston's new public hospital, the secretary wss Instructed to purchase a life membership for the Institute. The secretary reported that the egg pool was receiving good Mipport, and that about 25 cases had rwen handled In December. Market cond! tlons, however, were not good, owing to the mild weather on the prairie, whpre thf. co-operattres were consigning eggs to anyohe who would take them. Various matters In connection with Institute sctlvltles were discussed but no Important decisions were arrived at.
