It has been demonstrated that with proper management on the part of the farmer, me1 chanical power is mu������������������h cheaper than animal power. Its chief advantages are that it enables the farmers to put in their crops and harvest them in a much shorter space of time than with animal power,������������������and at a time when the most favorable conditions of soil, vreather, etc., prevail. Power-farming equipment also increases the: capacity of the? individual workman, thus greatly reducing the farmer's dependence on'-'hired labor. There is also a widespread feeling on the part of farmers, as Is true with other classes of buyeriT'that prices of farm equipment must be reduced. We have, on the other hand, the. farm- equipment -manufacturers who stoutly, maintain that it is impossible to reduce^prlces and, in facC that some prices must be.increased. -- -Itis.'well for the country at large to", understand that due "to the price decline' In important farm, products farmers have come to feel quite generally that there is. an overproduction of ^farm; products and that the time has come'.for them to curtail production. This; of course, Is an- entirely erroneous' Impression Jin view of the heavy--'foreign demand for farm products in addition to our own dtmestic demands, and unless .bis impressions are changed and. he i's given ..some sort" of assurance that he will receive a reasonable return for his labor, curtailment of farm production is bound to result, which naturally means a consequent curtailment in the demand and sale of power-farming equipment. - - CUEAN-UP DAY POSTPONE?.

What docs it all mean? Whal will be thc end? Onc cannol read the news of the day without being haunted by such questions as these. Thcrc seems lo be no light on any side if wc seek deliverance by lhc hand or the mind of man. Each country and each class appears to havcils particular publicity bureau and tlirough these bureaus one can gel only the propaganda the bureau is employed to put out. There seems lo bc an niter lack of confidence, onc in the olher, and a determined blindness on thc pari'of each of the other's right lo have any consideration whatever. Capital turns a deaf car to thc rights of organized labor; organized labor will not listen to the voice of capital; neither has any faith in the word of lhc other; each believes the will to "mastery is hjs and is therefore right���������������������������tho other wrong. Can anv good come out of such a com you arc a part, you disparage A-oiirself.

You can not help the Old Man so long as you arc explaining in undertone and whisper, by gesture and suggestion, by thought and menial altitude, thai he is a curmudgeon and his syslcm is dead wrong. You arc not necessarily menacing him by stirring up discontent and warming envy inlo strife, but you arc doing lhis; You arc getting yourself upon h wcll-groased- chute that will give you a quick ride to hades. When you say to other employees that thc Old Man is a curmudgeon, you reveal the fact that you are one; arid when you tell lhat thc policy of thc institution is 'rotten,' you surely show that yours is."

We have learned that British, American, French and Japanese ships are carrying our commerce at high figures and Vve are endeavoring to build merchant ships to carry it ourselves and thus stop another horrible financial drain which has long sapped our economic progress. Our mercantile marine will absorb all the men wc can spare for sea service i'or ycars to come and call for morc. A navy is a costly thing under any circumstances; fortunately, and unlike Britain, Japan and thc Uniled Stales, Canada docs not need one.

The country weekly as a rule "gives well, fairly, and impartially^ the news of the district, and the most of us owe more to their wise publicity than we think.

After Weeks of Suffering Aged Indian Leaves for Happy Hunting Ground. Wednesday morning the tolling of the church bell on the Indian reserve announced the death of Chief Edward, who, for 15 or IS years, presided over the affairs of the Indian residents of the Spallumcheen reserve. Chief Edward had been ill a week or two from an attack of the flu, and was known to be in a critical condition some days, yet his going created consternation among the Indians, by whom -ho was greatly respected and beloved. Chief Edward was GO or Co years of age. He was a man of' unusual native ability ancl acted as mediator in all tribal affairs in a broad, liberal spirit. Years ago he was excommunicated by the Catholic priest for attempting to have a puuliccjschool established on the reserve, biif this did not cause him to give up the project, though nothing has come of it yet. He was always strongly in favor of the better education of the younger Indians, and acted as father to all. STROULGER-WOODS MARRIAGE.

" al-Mt Contractors tell us that there is no brick manufactured that will stand up better and work smoother than the red brick made at the Enderby brick yard. This is the reputation this make of bricks has won in years past. This season the output of these yards promises to be the greatest in the history of brickmaking here. An early start has been made, ancl, under the management of A. Fulton, the output will find a ready market. Last week the moulder was started and a steady stream .of bricks has come from the moulds at the rate of fifteen thousand a day. These are'now in the se.tting stage and will be wheeled to the kilns within a few days. Mr. Fulton .has ample wood on hand for the season's burning, and there will be no cessation of work nor of output. _ Ghoice Quts Order your table fowl from ns.
