The Junior Auxiliary, under the supervision of Miss Wade, had met its obligations in connection with payments to the M.S.C.C., and the Women's Auxiliary had also fulfilled all its promises in the same connection. Quite early in the year the Ladies' /Guild, the pioneer women's organization, had made the final payment of principal and interest on the rectory, and as this completed their objective of some years standing, the question of amalgamating with the Woman's Auxiliary, which has been held in abeyance for the past four years, was [[decided in' the affirmative, and union was consummated . on December 31st.

Of this amount the bulb tea had produced $44, and the flower show $36, sale of cook books to the end of the tea collections taken meetinge totalled $22 and this had gone to the crippled children's hospital.

At the meeting of the directors at the close of the session Mrs. Hayes was chosen president j Mrs. Mallandaine, vice-president; and M_ss E- Crawford reappointed secretary-treasurer. About 25 members were present and for the February meeting they aro each plegcd to bring an additional member which will get the Institute off to a splendid start. Thc tea hostesses were Mrs. Edmondson, Mrs. A. E. French and Mrs. E. Johnson, with a freewill offering of $2.20. Creston Valley Rod and Gun Club met in annual session Friday evening with the president, Chas. Sutcliffe, in charge, and quite a.good turnout of members. The president's address and the report of the secretary indicated that 1930 had been one of the most active in the clubs history. Early in the autumn the district had ai visit from Bryan Williams, chief game guardian, and members of the club took advantage of his call to discuss game matters very fully. At present the elub's chief concern is in connection with the ducks and geese* which are threatened with rapid extinction due to the large influx of hunters from across the line and the methods they employ to secure the bag limit every day they are abroad. By way of added protection the club advocates the raising of the non-resident license fee from the present $25 to at least $50, and would amend the regulations so that it would be unlawful to use ^W decoys;v- Considerable complaint is heard of the ruthless slaughter of ducks which are lured in large numbers by the familiar call of the live Mallard. By way off further safeguard the club has taken up with the authorities at Ottawa the matter year $36. The I of placing an export duty on all at the regular | ducks and geese taken into the United States. In addition to securing some needed revenue this impost would permit of a close checkup of the daily kill of the visitors and thus assure that the daily bag limits are not being exceeded.

An archaeologist and palaeontologist of international reputation, Dr* Ami startled the world of science a few years agro by his discovery of evidence tend'ng- to show that the Eskimo races, now found exclusively in .the Canadian Arctic, at one time lived in France. In recent years, Drv Ami divided his time between France and Canada. He was the founder and leader of the Canadian School of Prehistoric H'story In France, through which, he made the archaeological excavations at Dordonne. upon which he based his theory of the early life of the Eskimos. Pr. Ami is survived by his widow, three grandchildren,. Nicholas H. Slater, Clara and Jeanne-Anne Slater, of Toronto, and a brother William Ami, of the University of Manitoba, Financial journals* throughout Canada are discussing- probable ways and means whereby the Dominion Government will ra*se the revenues required to carry on all the services and administrative responsibilities of the Federal Government, meet the charges on the public debt, and balance the national budget. The same question is receiving the close attention of the Prime Minister and his cabinet, and before long will demand consideration by Parliament and the people generally. It is admitted in all quarters that the Dominion will face a deficit in thc operations of government for the year 1930-31: that, instead of the national debt being reduced, it wiii be increased, in view of this situation, steps must be taken to devise new sources of revenue because no reductions in expenditure that could possibly be made would, in themselves, be sufficient to offset the decline in revenues which has takn place, and which it is forecasted will cont'nue this year. This Ls not a party question; it is a national problem to be faced and solved. Canada is not alone in having to face such a condition; other nations are in exactly the same box. It is estimated that the Dominion's deficit this year will be in the neighborhood of 575 000,000. There have been heavy declines sn Customs duties, sales tax receipts, excise tax. The income tax yielded a slight increase^ but it was payable on 1929 incomes, which were generally greater than in 1930T so that a drop in this source of revenue next year must be anticipated. Fu-thermore, inasmuch as it is the Government's policy, approved by the people in the last genera.! election, to cut off some hundreds of millions of imports it follows that Customs duties will show a still greater drop this year. On the expenditure side of the national ledger increases rather than decreases must be looked for. The unemployment relief bill of $20,000,000 has to be met; Old Age Pensions to be borne solely by the Dominion rather than fifty-fifty with the Provinces, and which will be made effective in all Provinces, means an expenditure of another $20 000,000 or more; the completion of the Trans-Canada Highway will be an expensive undertaking. So more money must be found, and a fairly large sum at that. In view of the fact that the Sales Tax has been reduced to a mere one per cent.; that Income Tax returns will be smaller; that Customs duties will take a drop as a result of decreased imports and cannot be depended upon in future to yield the major portion of the national revenue, it is being suggested in Eastern Canada that both tlie Sales Tax and the Income Tax be abolished in their ent'rety, and that a new tax, a tax on turnover, be created. This proposal is deserving of study and should be the subject of discussion by all the people, because it is a tax that will be paid by everybody. It has the merit that no one will be able to escape from it. The other question is, will it be equitable to all in relation to the'ability of each and all to pay. A turnover tax means a tax on every business transaction that' takes place In Canada. A Customs tax applies only to artLcles imported into Canada from other countries; an Excise tax is imposed on only a number of specified arfcles, intoxicating liquors, tobacco, matches, bank cheques, etc.; the Sales tax is levied on a limited number of transactions. But a turnover tax would mean the levy of the tax oh each individual transaction, Winnipeg. Excavations In Mesopotamia Interesting Discoveries Reported Of Traces Of Ancient Civilization Excavation in Ur of the Chaldees in Mesopotamia, have uncovered proof of the existence of buildings and a civilization there prior to the flood described in the Bible, it was announced in I_ondon, England. The announcement was made by officials of the joint expedition of the University of Pennsylvania and the British Museum, headed by C. D. Woolley. The excavations into the ruins of Ur, it was declared, proved the existence of a civilization in the land which the flood actually covered. The scientists also discovered interesting tombs of great kings of the third dynasty, about 240u io 2S00 B.C., the report disclosed. %1- 'S U! rtifud Forces Herself To Smile Through "- ' Pain "1 never seem to find time to rest/r says many an overworked housew'fe. -= ' Under smiles and forced cheerfulness she conceals weariness and nervous depression; headaches and backaches. Often she is in real pa-'n, but still refuses to give up. This very fortitude is apt to be her undoing. If she continues to neglect the signals of distress she w'll sooner or later suffer a serious breakdown. A noted doctor has stated that nine-tenths of the ills of womanhood are due to poor blood. That anaem'a is the cause of the low spirits, the poor appetite and palpitation that make life a burden for so many. There is ho need, however, for women to suffer in th's way.

And so on all along the line every time an article was sold by some person and purchased by another. The annual turnover of business in Canada amounts to many billions of dollars,���������just how large tlie amount is it is difficult to oven estimate. Even a very small tax, a trifling tax, one i.er cent., one-half of one per cent., one- qwarter of ono per cent., would yield an enormous revenue. But where an article passes through many hands or avenues of trade before it reaches the final consumer, even a small tax on each turnover might mean a fairly heavy charge in thc end. Possibly certa'n exemptions would be provided, but the moment exemptions are provided possibilities for evasion of the tax ailae; also tho danger of discrimination in favor of one class of people, business or industry. The whole subject is intensely interesting, and. as, stated, deserving of closo, study and full discussion. , . ��������� The amethyst and violet tinted glass of tho ancients owed Its color to manganese.

There Louis Barthou, Minister of War, paid the government's eulogy. He hailed Joffre as a "saviour of world liberty" and said that he was there to J" voice the unanimous grat- titude of the nation."

Golden Text: "Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance."��������� Luke 3.8. Lesson: Luke 3. Devotional Reading: Isaiah? 40.3-11. Explanations and Cezsments John's Preaching In the Wilderness, verses 1-6.���������To John, son of Zacharias, the word of the Lord came (he was made conscious that this was God's plan for him., directing him to go to the Jordan, and preach the baptism of repentance unto the remission of sinse; thereby, says Luke, fu'fill.ng the words of Isaiah (Isaiah 40.3-5). "John baptized, that is, he U3ed a purifying rite in connection with his preaching. It helps to remember the d'st_nct;on between baptism as practised in the Christian Church and a~ practised by John. In the church baptism has come to he regarded as a dedicatory rite by some, and by others as an initial and confessional rite. But in the first use of it, by John and Jestis, it was a purifying, rite. It was a confession, too, but of sin. and the need of cleansing, not, as later, of faith in a person, or a creed, although it did implv acceptance of a man's leadership. To a Hebrew mind it wa? preacirntr bv svmbol as well as by word."���������a. D. Gordon. The Call To Repentance, verses 7-9.���������Our poet Lowell speaks of "A kind of maddened John the Baptist To whom the hardest word comes aptest." and harsh indeed was John's word to the multitude who came to him to be baptized: "Ye offspring of vipers," was the way in which he addressed j them. Vipers and serpents, were considered, emblems of deceitfulness and v������''C-i_-Svji_ess; oCuu cs.n6u F_j.ar_.sees and Sadducees by this term because. knowing their natural deceitfulness and cunnin.sr. he doubted the sincerity of their motive in cominsr to him. And he .questioned them: "Who thought it worth while to warn you to flee from the Dav of Judgment?" The phrase. the wrath to come, recalls the picture of serpents in the fields fleeing before the flames when the stubble is set on fire. The corning of the Messiah, was exoected to be a day of lodgment, L/uke 2.23. S'nce the Pharisees thought themselves so- Tjgrhteous, they | should not have feared the judgment: | since the Sadducees professed not to ! believe in 5t, they should not have ' been disturbed. | "Bring forth therefore"���������if you ; wou^d escape the wrath���������"fruits w������-������rthv of repentance." deeds that win prove the sincerity of your repentance.

Saskatchewan 0";I Discovery Another Find Of Oil Reported In the ^Iteadlysi Valley Anotheif' find of oil is reported in the Readlyn Valley on the farm of Thomas Powley. It Is found that when pumping water a greasy substance comes up with the water and when separated readily Ignites. *This greasy substance comes up through a strata' of sandstone and this sandstone when split open reveals samples of forest leaves embedded in the rock. P. Bridger, of Readlyn, Sask., opened up some of the sandstone formation and on splitting the rock found the leaves in almost perfect condition. It shows that at some time the whole of the valley must have been a dense forest. The farmers arc cf tho opinion that gas and oil abounds in huge quantities under the rock formation at less than 500 feet. Mud geysers exist in eight or nine places and seem to he bottomless, continually hubbling with grease and oil. The Canadian Pacific Railway "runs right through the centre of this coal and oil valley from end to end. A government inspector stated that requests have been received to drill in the townsite of Readlyn but so far no permission has been granted owing to the compact nature of the village. The new find of Thomas Powley is just one mile up the valley froix. the C.P.R. depot and of course would be 5e3s hazardous for exploitation.
