While, we fully , appreciate your  splendid and loyal community spirit,  yet wo feel the loss will be a personal matter to each one of us; but  we rejoice to know that your interest  and labor will be spent for the Kingdom elsewhere, and we sincerely  pray that God's richest blessing shall  be, yours in every sphere of life.

Six-Man Hockey will Be Played  in Okanagan League Games  A meeting of representatives for  the Valley was held at Vernon on the  27th, when it was decided to adopt  the six-man regulations and to allow  two substitutes in' un4form to be on  hand to replace any player ������������������������������������������������������ at any  time. The rules of the B. C. Amateur  Athletic Union were adopted.  The representatives at the meeting  were: Messrs. Duncan and Jones,  Enderby; Mitcheltree and Klausman,  Vernon; Darrock and Hardy, Armstrong. The following officers were  chosen: Gordon Duncan, president;  A. Reinhard, Vernon, vice-president;  H.  E.   Murray,  Armstrong,  secretary.  The following regulations were  agreed upon: In case of any dispute  arising, the matter will be submitted  in writing to tihe president "of the B.  C. A. A. U. Referees are to be picked  from-the town not engaged in the  game.  Players are to be registered any  time before the first game. . After  the   first   game  registration  must  be  filed for a period of ten days. All  players must be bonafide residents of  the town 'for which they play.  In adapting six man hockey the following arguments were put forth:  The rinks of the Valley are small and  a faster game would result; the  players could not bunch so freely, and  the game could be kept cleaner; it is  easier for each town to find six good  players than seven, which would ensure the teams being more evenly  matched; the use of substitutes  would encourage recruits and help in-  developing them.    .

EN2ERBY  OPERA  HOUSE  NEW* Y,EARS DAY  Why  We  Celebrate  on   December 25.  DOLLAR    WHEAT    PREDICTED  Nobody, knows whether that is the'  exact date on which Christ was born,  or what people first celebrated the  festival on that date. After the triumph of Christianity the prejudice of  the early Christians against the celebration of birthdays as heathenish  died out. Some time between 337  and 352, Pope Julius directed Saint  Cyril to ascertain the correct date.  He reported that the western  churches observed it on December 25,  although other churches kept the day  in January, March,. April, May and  September. Pope Julius was so satis.  fied''with Saint Cyril's report that hc  set December 25th as Christmas-Day,  and our observance of that date has  come to us  from that" decision.

The same old story, the farmer is  the first to suffer, and the first to feel  the pinch.  The farmer cannot sell wheat at  $1.00 per bushel, at the present cost,  of labor to produce it. He will be  playing a losing game, and a farmer  as a business man cannot sell at .less  than the cost of thc production and  come out on the right side of the  ledger.  I-Je cannot sell wheat at $1.00, pork  at 15c or beef at 5c, and make an adequate return on his "labor" investment, so what will happen is that the  farmer will stop producing what he is  raising at- a loss, and concentrate his  efforts on what it pays him to^raise.  The following article is clipped  from tho Calgary Herald: "That.he  would grow no more wheat or other  grains until present conditions,,chang-  ed was the statement of W.S. Bredin  of Clairmont, in the Grand Prairie t"Fi  trite, a director of the United  Farmers of Alberta, in the course  of an interview with the Calgary  Herald Monday. Mr. Bredin remarked that hc had been forced to that  conclusion owing to thc ruinous price  of all cereals. His intention is to seed  his land to timothy. This farmer is  one of the oldest settlers of the district referred to having gone north  twenty six years ago.  "From other quarters it is stated  that farmers are in a quandary as to  what they are going to do with their  oiit.crop this year in view of the present low price ruling. Owing to the  long spell of wet weather at the time  of threshing a very considerable percentage of it will only bc fit for feed  which has.a market value of only 13  cents a bushel."
