The balance of 2.422 crates are pretty well distributed over Creston, Erickson, Canyon, Alice Siding and the Reed & Mather stop. Possibly.one "more carload will be sent from Wynndel. but this depends entirely on the weather. A real soaker of a. rain within forty-eight hours would lengthen oat the season, but if nothing but the 01-in-the-shade sort that has prevailed all week is to happen along strawberry shipping will be over for the year before our next issue. While the yield has been disappointingly light and the weather everything almost that it should not have been, the prices the grower will receive are most encouraging. Yesterday the local Union was issuing cheques for the berries shipped in June, and the payments were on a basis of $3.50 per crat*? for the first week's berries, an3 $3 a crate for those went out the second week.

Of course all this cash money will not be forthcoming���������at least for the past four years the 'amount voted never has, and .there are no signs visible at present that this year of grace wiii differ much from its predecessors,, therefore, if, only the customary: 75 per? cent, of the total asked is to be received-the $3,375 that will come along during the term will just nicely take care of the estimated and necessary expenditure of the school year. Of this sum about $2,115 will be needed for arrears of teachers' salaries well as stipends for the current -A-SXriMS siim :PPpA&i as term." If the high cost of living does not tend to boost janitor's salaries another $415 will be required to finance that official and the $50 allowed the secretary'treasurer. Not only is fuel getting mote expensive eyery year���������and' due to no revenue available the trustees were not able last winter to stock up for a year ahead, therefore ..the fuel bill for the full term will-have tc be paid out of the new money to be voted, and \t is figured if the winter is about the. same as.the one just passed some $125 will be needed for fuel.

Airplane Mail Carriers Expect Aviators Will Not Abandon Air Work When the War Is Over If is said lhat the French government is planning to convert its corps of army aviators, thousands upon thousands of them, into mail carriers after the. war. There are no technical difficulties in the way. Airplane engines have been pevfected to the highest degree of reliability and their speed has been developed marvelously. Nothing short of thick fog, a violent thunderstorm or a hurricane bordering almost on a tornado now serves to prevent flying ���������with rarely a casualty from natural causes. Indeed, the greatest defect in thc army aerial service, according lo officials in that branch, is overcon- fidenc.c in what the airplane engine can do. Flights of six and eight and ten hours without replenishing the gasoline supply are now of common occurrence. Mountains can be scaled as if they.were mounds tinder the foot of a Brobdingagian. Aviators leave the British side of thc Channel and deposit passengers or messengers on. the war front' with no more sense of thc unusual than if they had taken a steamer from Dover to Boulogne. The possibilities of mail ::arryi������g in difficult regions have not been thoroughly investigated, because only the demands for war efficiency have brought flying up to the point of deH pendability needed for general service. The French government did establish some, postal routes for airmen, but nothing on an extensive scale was adopted. Commercially, the utility of the airplane aftcr the war will be open to the fullest exploitation. Britain will have scores of thousands of expert aviators and not many of these will abandon the "sport" which now is serving the British armies so splendidly. t: Friends Worth Retaining The Grea������.

Thousands and thousands of girls aud women owe their good health and charming complexion to thc use of this medicine. Here is one example of its power to cure. Miss Dorina Basticn, St. Jerome, Que., says: "For over a year my health was gradually failing, mj* seemed almost to have water, my cheeks were lips bloodless, and thc slightest exertion left me breathless. I suffered frequently from severe headaches, my appetite failed, and my friends feared I was going into consumption.

I look a half dozen boxes more, when my strength hnd completely returned, my appetite was restored, my color-returned, headaches had disappeared and T Avas feeling belter than I had been for years.

Angels Admiring Zeppelin German Humorist Gives Dead Count a Front Window in Heaven The Bavarian humorous paper Simplicissimus features on its front page a picture of "Count Zeppelin in Heaven." The count has flown up to heaven in one of his own cruisers, which is seen resting on a cloud bank in the background, undergoing the inspection of a crowd of admiring angels. Count Zeppelin, attended by a committee of cherubs, is being welcomed by St. Peter, who makes him a laudatory address, informing him that he has been given one of. the finest locations. A feature of the new residence, remarks St. Peterr is that "you can see Germany from the front window." Pills for Nervous Trouble.���������-The stomach is the centre of the nervous system, and when the stomach suspends healthy action the result is manifest in disturbances of the nerves.

Thousands can attest the virtue of these pills in curing nervous disorders. blood had turned to pale, my "Three Days in a Submarine" A provincial church, at which the congregation has been growing less and less every Sunday for some time, was recently crowded long before ihe. time for commencement of the service.

FRIDAY, JULY 13 Tho Noxi Wiowo When one stops to consider the considerable extra effort that has been put forth in the Creston Valley alone this season in response to the shout for greater production������������������ particularly in the line of vegetables and when the difficulties of other years in successfully marketing these same products are recalled, and remembering the inadequacy of local storage facilities, there is no dodging the question that, concerted action on a considerable scale will be necessary if little or direction confined solely to police court activities. In the matter of a Small Debts" court we are absolutely lacking, due to the fact that only one judge of this sort is at hand, and two of them are needed to constitute a court for this purpose. A satisfactory solution of the whole trouble would be the appointment of a stipendiary magistrate who is authorized to exercise all the functions of a brace of J.P.'s both in police as well as the Small Debts court work.

As to outfitting our officers of the law with horses and decking them out in blue suits and brass buttons it is to be hoped no hard and fast general regulations will be made, particularly in the matter of mounting these men. In districts similar to the one here a horse woidd add little or nothing to the efficient work of the local officer, and would add considerable expense for upkeep. A Ford car would be more serviceable .all round, with no expense piling up in feed bills when not in use.

Tribute t������ Canada Russian Premier Speaks of the Future Policy of the Empire, Stating that Russia Cannot Hand Doajji to Future Generations A Dishonored Name 1 I'riuee. LvotT. ihe Russian premier, *nd M. Tereschtenko, thc newly appointed minister, made long statements at a press reception on the recent crisis aud the policy of Russia. Prince LvofL after declaring that the nation .had been brought to the edge of an abyss said: "The goyernment considers that its first duty is to consolidate .. the fighting strength of the army, as well'as for safeguarding, the conquests of .restitution and for driving * out the enemy and actively supporting the allies. The government considers that it is its duty to proclaim clearly and definitely its desire for the consolidation of a speedy peace; but, in speaking of peace without annexation or indemnities, the government declares it is not a question of passive defence. Free Russia will not consent to leave under the yoke of German militarism territories which were abandoned owing to thc criminal negligence of the old regime. Neither cau Russia remain indifferent to the fate of Belgium, Serbia,' or Roumania," nor forget its duties toward them. ,Russia cau- "not hand down to future generations a dishonored reputation. "The existing armistice at the front which gave the German chancellor a pretext to formulate his idea of a separate peace, dishonorable to Russia, must cease. The country must speak its imperious word, and send its army out to fight." M. Tcreschtenko in his statement of the policy of free Russia as outlined in the declaration of the provisional government, strongly emphasized the need of an indissoluable union with the allied democracies and the consciousness of the duty those tics impose upon Russia. He declared that it was a question of the honor of the revolution whicli was more precious to Russia than ever. ���������'1 note with deep satisfaction," continued the minister, "that in our free Russia, despite our divergencies of view, there is no party, no single organization such as existed in reactionary Russia, capable of carrying on propaganda in"favor of a separate N-j.eace. There is one question, however, wliich still lets loose the passions, namely, the question of the treaties concluded by the old regime, the immediate publication of which is demanded. This, I am convinced, is a mistaken demand. "The Russian democracy must understand lhat the publication of these treaties would mean a rupture with the allies and the isolation of Russia, which would be the beginning of a separate peace. But this is just what the entire Russian people, repudiates with all its strength. dcrslands that tax international war ean only be concluded by an international peace.- New Russia must look forward, not behind. "There are two great new facts iu thewar���������the Russian revolution and thc entry of thc. great republic of thc United Stales. A new start must bc made from these facts, and free Russia niust prove that she is loyally l'ul- iiiling the engagements she. entered upon with the allies for a united struggle and mutual help. The army . v.ill understand that it is fighting for all il holds most dear, and that dc- fcit will annihilate, our pew found libo.rly and new life. , "It is indeed ridiculous lo speak at the present time, of the annexationist plans, of-the allies as a real menace to a just peace, when Russia, lid- gin in," France rind Serbia arc themselves either entirely or partially" occupied by lhc enemy." The win"* miuisler, A.I''. Keren sky, addressing a meeting of Black Sea delegates, said: "So long as I am ���������minister of war no attempt al a counler rcvol -uiou is possible. Our .new regime has lor its soul complete union with lhc Waste of War The Steel Harvest Sown in Verdun Battlefield "Prometheus," thc organ of the German iron trade, makes-au elaborate calculation as to the quantity of steel which is now* lying on the hillsides round Verdun. According to military reports, it often ; happened that as many as one million shots daily were fired from guns of various calibres. If, however, one million shells are taken as thc weekly instead of the daily average, we reach almost incredible totals. Taking the ground -fought over as 260 square kilometres, and the average weight of��������� shells as 90 lbs., no less than 1,- 350,000 tons of steel exploded on tho area in question.

Taking the price of scrap steel at 3 pounds 10s per ton, we have a crop of steel worth about 45 pounds per acre, a crop which "Prometheus" thinks is well worth garnering. American Paper Praises Spirit of the Canadian Troops When the history of the war comes to bc told, Canada's place i,i it will stand forth to pur wonder and amazement. Canada's contribution in men and money, in bravery aud endurance, in unselfish resourcefulness, ih quick and adequate response, has been tremendous and magnificent. Proportionately to her population Canada will be found to have made the largest, monetary contributions to the war, not only for the formation and equipment of her own vast armies, not only in subscriptions to the cver-rccurring war loans, but also in aid to the multitudinous relief funds for Belgium, for France, for Serbia, for Poland for the widows and orphans and dependents of soldiers in the Tvar, for the provision of luxuries for the troops, for the Red Cross, and in the stalwart application of those who remained at home for the production of foodstuffs for the warring countries. The valor of the Canadians on the field has called forth thc. unqualified praise of the French and British generals, for they have proven themsel- mm SN TRAIL RETREATING VANDALS BOCHE WAR A BEAST'S GAME WITH BESTIAL RULES An Eye-Witness Tells of the WTork of the Retreating Germans in Fair France, Committing Acts of Vandalism That Would Put To Shame a Band of Ruthless Savages ves aosoxiiiciy dauntless and A.

Counting the cost is not the Canadian way. Out of a contingent of 25,000 troops at the outset of thc war, not 2,500 live to tell the tale. Their casualties were appalling, but the only effect they had upon the Canadian heart was to accelerate recruiting and volunteers poured iu to avenge their fellows. It has been officially stated in Canada that for "every.,, man that falls, five more enlist. It was the Canadians that bore thc. first terrible brunt of the asphyxiating gas attacks, which came as such a staggering surprise, the Hague Convention having*specifically forbidden its use. The stories of the tortures they suffered at that time, of the appalling condition of those who lived through it, is heart-rending. But tkc ������ experience did but. stiffen their back bones aud their determination to increase,, their aid in men and money to fight the common enemy. No wonder the thousand Chinese who have, volunteered to fight with the allies, enlisting from Vancouver, expressed the wish to serve under Canadian officers .'���������'������������������-. Canada, a young country, needing all her men at home, never hesitated once they had put their shoulder to -the wheel. And they have never slackened their ardor, no matter what befell. . And the women of Canada havc taken up the men's . work at home, kept thc country going at a normal business level, and it has been said that more land; nol>-less, has been cultivated in Canada since thc war started���������cultivated by the. men past military age, by the invalids, by thc women and the bo3*s. It is a splendid record which -.vill place Canada among the historic nations* of the war.���������Los AngeIes\Tiiucs. . Scientific Burglary Dean Inge Says Teutons Are Not a Fighting Race service 1 Speaking at Lhc Temple >church, } London, Dean Inge said our opponents in this war were not. really a lighting race, and so thoy had no chivalry. War for them was a sordid business, shorn of all romance; it was merely a scientific burglary by a verv large gang. It seemed to hiin lhat reliance., on the law of progress, on socialism, democracy, common sense aud industry, or on organized religion, lo prevent a recurrence, of what w-as happening, was in euch case alike futile; they wotdd fail again as they had failed now. He knew What this war wus forced upon t.s, but he did not think wc had a right, to assume that'we. and our present allies'could never be guilty of breaking the peace, at some future time���������our p.tsl record was not clean enough for that.

With such opportunities it is not difficult to tell how much of the ruin has been wrought by shell lire, how much by mine or fire or army house-breakers. Calculated brutality, scientific, exis- ceration, cannot cloak themselves under the guise of acts of war. * The facts are these: As soon as the inhabitants were driven off and sent behind this great fortified line of which the German papers boast. all that was worth having was carted off and all the rest destroyed. The manner of destruction varied with the thing to be destroyed. In Per- oiine are many fine trees planted for ornament. The military authorities, probably from lack of labor, could uot cart tlrem away, could not even spend time in fellling them. c~ :���������rt-..������������������iif...,. .* ~ ~: -. ������~ i i- .j\j juojJtivjJVJis IVJ..JJ.- gJvi.ij vj^ ua^Jj every tree, as a hedge-laj'er cuts hedge-stakes, just deep enough to ensure thc death of the tree. So the German left "his mark," a V-shaped convict's mark, cut half-way through each trunk of the avenue. Fruit trees are more carefully severed than ornamental trees, and .especial care has been taken to destroy completely the espaliers and prettily trained fruit trees in which French gardeners take special and peculiar delight. I do not know why. but the sight of these little fruit trees with their throats cut\ filled me. with more trenchant rage against the German mind than all the rest of the havoc. Probably, a list of trees and other things that inhabitants of thc Bapaume. and Peronne districts will need after the war is already filed in the commercial department at Berlin. So much for thc gardens. Now for lhc houses. I do uot know how many score 1 entered, how many hundred I stared into through thc shattered facades. Along whole streets where every front wall was ���������..erst open, I could find no vestige of any shell hole or of the distinctive oval"hole that a shell usually punctures in brickwork. Thc work had been done, I am wholly convinced, by small charges, of ammonal, one of which was found arid most bravely carried away by one. of thc parly. The quarters of the town where the shells had been directed .were very well defined; and it was in these only lhat the front walls- were erect, though damaged. Within thc houses mess and filth were invariable. It was a wonder how so much rubble could have been amassed, Iu the Hotel de Ville in Peronne, a building spared because used to the last as a hospital, each room, save only the cellars and dugout below the. cellars, was impassable for debris. The general impression of desolation wrought hy some bull-headed uiinolaur or vulture harpy was etched into thc features of a more odious because more human and intelligent monster when lhe. minor individual details of this ^ general wreckage reached lhe imagination. Here was a long mirror hung ������������������gainst lhc wall. U was shivered by means of a hammer still lying <>u thc I have said nothing of acts of dc������- tiuction that have auy military object. War, as conducted by thcBoche is a beast's game' and ��������� has bestial rules". The mining of ;all .wells, except the. one or two left for chemical treatment, is, I suppose, a'i military precaution like the shattering of the railway stations and the permanent way. Indeed, with regard to military precautions of this sort, my personal feeling was that by far the least thorough part of the work was the blocking of traffic. You could drive a motor at good speed along main roads seven or eight' hours after the enemy had left them. The mining and blocking seemed to my eyes rather casual and perfunctory, at any rate vastly inferior in thoroughness to the looting and the wanton excesses against property. The military mining and tree felling were done under orders. The stealing and breaking up of gardens and houses were done for pleasure and profit���������con amore. So it is that you can bicycle along country roads in the rear of the enemy and meet little obstruction. Scores of obvious checks and barriers have been omitted. But in all the towns and in all thc villages you may search from dawn to dusk for vny single example of slackness in the art, or perhaps science of thieving and fouling. In September of 1914, in the close neighborhood of Rheims, a French general���������"a soldier and a gentleman" if ever ther was one���������-showed mc in a little little shop how everything has been sifted till nothing worth more than twopence-halfpenny was left in the heap on the floor, ;and I walked through villages robbed of every watch, every sheet, blanket, and bolster. But the German . lias advanced since those days. He cau now loot a large town' so that not the value of a penny piece is left, and he can retreat over a country side without leaving a roof or a saucepan, or a fruit tree. store' table-' a pile The Explanation An elderly lady entered a and asked to be shown souk cloths, A salesman brought and showed them to her bnt she said1 .she had seen (hose elsewhere���������nothing suited hcr.

Babylon in British Hands Union Jack Flies Over What Was Once Great Babylonian , Empire There arc. really-two Babylons, one the Babylon of today, the other the Babylon of Nebuchandnczzar, says a writer in thc Christian Guardian. The former is the. little town of Hillah, with only a few hundred inhabitants and its buildings all of mud bricks, like Babylon of old. The ancient Babylon lies all around Hillah, and is practical^* a suburb of Bagdad. Before the war there were, a dozen German scholars living in Babylon and pursuing research work for thc German government at a cost, 'of about $20,000 a year. But the members of thc s)tafT of this research party were all German officers, and their researches w'ere not confined wholly to ancient Babylonian records aud relics. A railway was projected to nm from Berlin to Bagdad and one hundred miles of it ran north from Bagdad to Samaria, and this is now in British hands. It is an interesting thing to note that Kut-cl-Amara, also famous in this war, is on the edge of the ancient Ur of tlic Chaldecs, which ���������>* was Abraham's dwelling place when lie heard the voice that called J:iiu to "go out, not knowing whither he he went."
