It was the duty of farmers, he held, to organize every district thoroughly, to hold regular meetings, to discuss subjects of national importance, to build up a democratic spirit, and justify our existence. At the proper time, locals should ask central to call meetings to take the necessary steps to select candidates. Mr. Humphrey told of the early difficulties encountered by the organization, but offset this by referring to the present rapid growth. Within the past two weeks seven locals were organized in the North Okanagan with memberships ranging from 12 upward, and advices from enthusiastic officers were to the effect that they counted on having 300 members in the near future, with the possibility of a membership of 7,000 in the Province before the year 1920 is out. The locals referred to by Mr.-. Humphrey are.. Grindrod, Mara, Salmon River .Bench, Hullcar, Deep. Creek,- Enderby and Grandview Bench;, Tliis-is usc only, a start, as there are several svas majc. to the condition of other points, applying .for a the:roads as they.were found on Reports and enquiries showed thai a keen interest in the movement is being taken throughout thc Province. New locals arc being organized and old ones strengthened. Thc spirit cof the movement is abroad and good results are confidently anticipated for 1920. From Saskatchewan and Alberta cheering reports arc received, and good results may bc depended upon when the elections arc held. Mr. Copcland reiterated what hc has repeatedly said relating to the glaring injustice to the B. C. farmer in the matter of thc fixed price for wheat in Vancouver, which is 4V>c a bushel less than at Fort William. As B. C. does not produce enough wheat for ils own use, millers arc enabled to buy up B. C. wheat at thc reduced rate and at thc same time save the difference in thc freight rate from Fort William lo Vancouver. But flour is no cheaper in B. C. than elsewhere. The benefits of stock yards at Westminster were alluded to and also of a supply of stumping powder to-be secured for. the use of U. F. members. Allusion visit froni the' organizer.

Some of their difficulties were explained. Next the aims and views of the United Farmers had been learned. The idea of lhe U. & P. S.

II felt there was room for criticism of thc Ottawa and other governments, but questioned if a cabinet were formed of men now in thc hall matter could bc placed in a position not amenable to criticism. Thcrc is danger, he said, of our facing a class warfare owing to thc conditions of human nature, but by wise counsel it is hoped it may be avoided.

THURSDAY, JAN. 1, 1920 GRAVEL SIDEWALKS The proposal submitted by Mayor Barnes at a meeting of the council some weeks ago suggesting that the city should adopt some definite policy looking to the construction of a more permanent system of sidewalks, and proposing that gravel walks be laid instead of the narrow plank ' walks "which require so much repair work from year to year, has met with approval on all sides. Of course, no action has bcen taken, or can he taken until' the spring ot* 1920, but tliis year ought to see Enderby. establish llie sidewalk policy proposed. It has" unquestionable merit. Who will be chosen as Mayor an 1 Aldermen to give the proposed policy a start? Mr. Barnes is not disposed to take thc oflice another lerm. Probably be could be induced to accept tlie position if it" were shown to be to llie best interests of tlie town for him to do so. The question of getting aldermen is also onc requiring earnest consideration, for wc understand none of tho present aldermen desire to stand for re-election.

KELOWNA COUNTY ASSOCIATIONS Y. M. C. A. Inaugurating Territorial Idea in Planning for More Efficient Work in the Outlying Localities. C. D. Thornton, territorial secretary of the Town and Country Department of the Y. M. C ^A., has returned to Vancouver after spending some time in Alberta in connection with the completion of tlie organization of the Rosebud County Y. M. C. A. Last July a convention at Olds decided to organize a county association including Olds, Didsbury, Innisfel, Bowden and contiguous territory. It is the policy of the Association other thing. Mr. Thornton to investigate the possibility of organizing a county association in their districts. "It Gets You There, It Gets You Back." Many are the stories on the Ford, bul Hillsboro, Ont.; related in ils local paper recently what it calls tlie best of the season, and lhc facts in thc case are"true. Il happened in one of thc leading churches of the cily that the pastor took for the lext of his sermon, "Retter Church Attendance." Thc paslor held thai the automobile has taken more people away from the church than any He concluded with not to call secretary or start ithe exclamation: "Tlie Ford car operations until the budget for at least a year has becn secured. Mr. Thornton reports that the money has bcen assured to finance the county for two; years and he expects to have a secretary on the tied in a few weeks.. The men of the county arc very enthusiastic over'the project, wliich is the first to be organized in the province. There are," however, on file,- requests0 from' more than ;: dozen committee in Alberta and almost as many in. British Columbia asking has taken mere people to hell than any oilier thing that I can mention." Whereupon an old lady in Ihc congregation begun to clap her hands and moan, "Praise lhe Lord!" "What's lhc matter, sister?" asked thc paslor. "The Ford never went any place that il couldn't make the round trip, andJ I am, sure that all of those people in hell will be back," shc answered, "So praise the Lord!"

Grave apprehenion exists in the public mind as to thc significance of it all. C. W. Peterson, in his book, "Wake Up, Canada^' published last summer, has the following to say on the subject of political parties and classes in Canada: "... The. present political situation in Canada is absolutely chaotic. Old affiliations. have���������������������������been ruthlessly sundered. New problems of public administration are arising almost daily. . . . . The whole political horizon is, to say the least, obscure. Class organization is proceeding with rapidity and "political views are slowly crystalizing. For'the first time in the history of Canada, there is a distinct tendency towards the multiplication of political parties on a basis of organized effort. Class consciousness is unmistakably developing in Canada, and will of necessity exercise a tremendous influence upon the political situation. The old pattern politician refuses to view the matter seriously. The party hack expects history to repeat itself, but those who have their ear to the ground realize that the day of the- "ins vs. outs" is gone. . . . Both the old political parties stand condemned at the bar of public opinion." ' We hear a��������������������������� great deal" about "class politics," in connection with the new movements But what sort of domination .has Canada labored under in the-past? Consulting "Wake Up, Canada" again, we find a schedule setting forth the occupations of parliamentary representatives in Canada. It is shown [that out of a total of 880 legislators, 222 lawyers. As there are 5,000 lawyers in Canada, it seems clear that.a class representing less than one-fifteenth of one per cent of the population,, monopolizes 25% of thc total parliamentary representation, while the farmers, representing 5(5 per cent of the population and 75% of the voting strength enjoy representation of less than 18 per cent. Wc al.<-. liiiii that the business ani* prr.fes*i<������������������:������������������.d" classes, representing, less than 17 per cent of Canada's population, have over 81 per cent of representation in our Provincial and Federal Parliaments. We find then, that for a period, of fifty years the farmer has suffered an infinitesimal per. cent- age of the population of Canada to administer the puhlic affairs of the country and to legislate for him, while he himself has taken T������������������o considerahlc part in: puhlic affairs. The present pojiticalcle ��������������������������� velopment is merely an unmistakable decision on his part to end the existing state of affairs and to try his hand at administering the affairs of the country. " jveep Wfor* Poultry , Poultry of all kinds will he: a greater factor for economical and satisfactory living on the farm; than ever before, says tbe. Farm and Ranch Review. With tbe current bisb prices and scarcity ������������������f pork, beef and mutton and cured meats cut of the reach of tbe average consumer poultry should be in great denu������������������nd. Those who have an abundance-of^poultry-mayJLvc^re^ gardless of higher prices of fresh meat. Every farmer's., wife who has a large flock of pullets for winjer and early spring laying is fortunate. Eggs, in addition to helping save the high cost of living at home may supply .-considerable cash with which to enjoy many comforts and conveniences that otherwise would not be available.
