FIFTEENTH YEAR���������No Kettle Valley Orchardist GRAND FORKS B C, FRIDAY, MAY 12, 1916 '$1.00 PER YEAR __} Mayor Acres and'Aid. Allen', Donaldson, McArdle, McCallum, Schnit- ter and Sheads. were present at the regular meeting of the city council on Monday evening. An application for city water from Mrs. M. Japp was referred lo the water and light committee. The chairman of the finance committee reported that a communication had been received from an eastern financial firm stating that a S5000 block of Grand Forks debentures of 1919 could be purchased at an attractive price. He recommended that an offer of 90c on the dollar be made for them. The report was accepted, and the council decided to make the offer for the.bonds as recommended by the chairman. Clerk Hutton reported that the manager of the local; bank hank had informed him that if the city's temporary loan amounted to $12,000 it would be necessary for the city to assign some of its delinquent taxes to the bank. If tbe amount was kept within the $8000 limit, he did not.think tHs course would be necessary. He thought the sum required would not exceed $8000. Mr. Hutfdn" explained" that Mr/Niles had stated the bank had adopted ibe above rule in all cities this year. The finance committee was author ized to arrange the matter with the bank. The accumulation of accounts for the past month were ordered to be paid. The chairman of ihe board of . works reported that no street grade had been established in front of the Grand Forks hospital. It would cost $390 to build a cement sidewalk in front of the hospital and Dr. Kingston's residence The side walk on Third street, from Bridge street to Winnipeg avenue, had been temporarily repaired by the board, as tbe railway company had refused to do the work. He had thought at first that the city team would be able to do the street sprinkling, but he was now of the opinion that it could be more profitably employed at other work, and he ad viced that the sprinkling be let by tender. It would be necessary to do some excavating for a sidewalk in front of Mrs. Sloan's house on upper Bridge street. He recommended that if a cement sidewalk is constructed in front of the Grand Forks hospital, the hospital be required to pay the usual proportion of the cost. On motion, the questions of constructing sidewalks in front of the Grand Forks hospital and on upper Bridge street were referred to the board of words. On motion ol Aid. Sheads and Sebnitter, the council decided to call for tenders for street sprinkling at so much per hur. The chairman of the cemetery and and parks committee reported that the cemetery was now in better condition than it had ever been heretofore. The matter of employing Mr, The chairman of the water and light committee recommended that the hours for lawn sprinkling be | made the same as last year, viz, from 6 to 9 a.m. and from 5 to 9 p.m., and that the charge be $3 per lot of 100 feet frontage, with one- third off for cash. He also recommended that the contract for relaying the water pipe on Lansdowne avenue be given to Charles Bicker- ton'at 12c per foot. On motion of Aid. McArdle and McCallum, the clerk was instructed to send out notices regarding the lawn sprinkling'hours as recommended by the chairman of the water and iigbt committee. A committee from the board of trade addressed the council and ask ed for a grant not exceeding $50 per month, for four months, to aid in recruiting D company of the 225th battalion. The money would be used for refunding the railway fares of men who came here from outside pointr to join the ��������� colors The government made.no provision fur this expense, and it was thought that if it was made known that men who wished- to enlist would be given free transportation to this city it might have a stimulating effect on recruiting. The money would be requisitioned from tbe city as it was needed,and only the actual amount used for this purpose/would be drawn out of the city treasury. Aid. Sheads, McCallum, Schnitter, .-McArdle and-Allen expressed themselves as favoring granting the request made by the committee. Aid. Donaldson thought that the government bore all "recruiting ex penses, and if it desired grants of this nature it should make the- fact known. A machine gun fund bad been raised in this city. After it was collected word came from Ottawa that it was not wanted. This, he said, looked very much like raising money under false pretences. He wanted more light on the present project before-he could support It. On motion of Aid. McCallum and Sheads, a sum not exceeding $50 per month, and limited to the amount actually used, was appropriated for recruiting purposes in Grand Forks and district for a period not exceeding four months. All the aldermen supported the resolution with the exception of Mr. Donaldson, who refrained from voting. Aid. Sheads gave notice that at the next meeting he would ask leave to introduce a rate and tax levy bylaw, and also a tax rebate bylaw. . continue at that hour for the com- ' ing summer. The committee appointed at the last meeting of the hoard of trade t) device means of raising funds to facilitate recruiting, met ��������� in the boa-rd rooms at 4:30 Monday afternoon. It was stated that funds were needed for three different purposes, the most urgent being a grant of about $50 per month for three or. four months to be used in reimbursing the men who came to the city to er.list their railway fares. A committee was appointed to interview the city council and request that it donate this amount. Money was also needed with which to purchase the soldiers necessaries and for a company band. U was thought that the gun fund would take cure of the former requirement, and the money for the latter purpose, if deemed necessary, could be ra sed by entertainments. Mrs E. E. W. Mills and children eft yesterday for Lethbridge, where they will visit at the home of Mrs. Mills' sister. Don't forget the sale of home ', cooking on First street tamorrow, commencing at 2 o'clock, by the Methodist Ladies' Aid. Tom Newby has taken his motor c-ir back to Franklin camp. J. L.

Mr. Hobden states that according to the reports from the various churches an all-round increase is recorded, and the . progress made is the best for many years. Two ministers, Rev. J. H. Hobbins, of Greenwood, and Rev. George Turpin, of Shore- acres, were reported to have enlisted as privates for active service from the district. Mr. and Mrs. F. II. Heffner left on Tuesday for Salt Lake City, where they intend to make their home in future. Pte. Adamard Galipeau, of the Comox battalion, arrived in the city on Saturday on a twelve days' leave of absence to visit his parents here. He will return to the coast the lat ter part of this week. Danville Concert a Success There was a good attendance and an appreciative audience at the concert given by the Gjand Forks Baptist church choir in Grunwell's hall, Danvile. Monday evening. The choir, under the direction of Arthur J Harris, rendered again Minpr's cantara, "The Voice of the Shepherd"; also the humming selection, "Soft Floating,'!] and "The Minute Gun" with fine effect, the soloists, Mesdames Chittenden, Henniger and Dawe, and Mossrs. H. Burden and W. J. Harris taking their parts in excellent form. Assisting in the second part of the program were others, all excellent'themselves in a most pleasing way. E. C. Henniger was chairman; let the audience know "who was who" in his inimi table way. Every nne was delighted with Mr and Mrs. Painton's piano duet, "Tarantelle," and Mrs, Painton's harp solo, "Jaudita." as also with Master "Emile Painton's violin solos, "Salut d'Amour" and "Souvenir de Wicniawski"; and in the "Alpine Maiden's Dream," with E J. Coker in the violin duet, aceompanied by Mrs. Painton at the harp, this lad did both himself and his instructor great credit. Mr. Coker's fine technique and sympathetic touch in his violin obligato to W. H. Tasker's rich bass in "Narvina" was both impiessiveand pleasing. Mr. Cokijr also plaved "An Idyl in Arcadie," and Mr. Tasker sang "Bid Me to Love." Both "The Carnival" selection by Mrs Chittenden and "The Songs My Mother Used to Sing," with which she responded to the encore, were well received. The national anthem closed a most enjoyable evening. The concert was under the auspices of the Danville Sunday school, the workers and scholars of which had no small part in the successful attendance secured on rather short notice. The report of the Granby Consolidated company for the nine month period ended March 31 shows that after paying bond interest of $167,342 and dividends of $674,933, the company added to tbe surplus 81,531,588. The total net income for the period was $2,373, 863, of vhich all but $39,157, de rived from the treatment of customs ores, was net operating profit of its own mines at Anyox vand Phoenix* The total copper production of the period was 28,122,261 pounds, of which 15,971,761 was produced at tbe Anyox smelter and the balance at the" Grand Forks plant. The Anyox mines from 516,381 tons of ore yielded 105,951 ounces of silver and 28,254 ounces of gold. The cost ot the copper produced and laid down at New York from Anyox was 10 36 cents a pound and from Grand Forks 13.74 cents, as compared with, costs of 9.72 and 13.06 cents respectively for the six months ended December 31, 1.9J__:~The higher cost was due to shortage of power during the extremely cold weather in January and February and consequent decrease in production during that time. It is stated that the stock of- unsold copper in New York amounts to 11,093,318 pouuds, and that it is inventoried at 20 cents a pound. Spot copper demands of late 30 to 3L cents. The weather during the past week ba:s not been exactly of a tropical nature, but as far as can be learned the nights have not been cold enough to do any damage to the truit crop.

" "My boy," said the editor of the Billville Bugle to the new reporter, "you lack caution.

Mrs. Smith, gossip says, was the hostess, and the festivities are reported to have continued until 10:30 in the evening. It is alleged that the affair was a social function given to the ladies of the Second Ward Cinch club, and that with the exception of Mrs. James Bilwiliger, who says she comes from Leavitt's Junction, none but members were present.

According- to official records, 1,795,- 053 hogs wore purciiased by the various abattoirs during the season, a large number of these being from Ontario farmers. Of these -1,007 were condemned. Allowing for the payment in full for these condemned hogs, which are used ?01<" other purposes, such as fertilizers, glue, etc., Air.

Air. McCoig brought the mailer to tho attention of Hon. '.). I). Ilazen, acting minister of agricufture, when parliament was in committee on supply. He asked as to the serum treatment as a preventive of cholera among hogs, and as to the payment of inspectors and the collection of alleged inspection fees by buyers. Hon.

At the outbreak of hostilities he was a colonel on the verge of retirement owing to his age. He is now lifty-nine years oid. Though never particularly successful in theoretical manoeuvres, he has shown in war unequalled judgment and qualities of leadership, and attracted attention at once in the retreat from Oharleroi. He went rapidly through the line of promotion up to the command of an army. In the Artois fighting last spring General Petain's name was first associated with the "Iron Division" of Colonials, which by September had become France's finest striking force, as was shown in the Champagne, and now from the French counterpart of the German assaulting "phalanx.'' Extremely energetic,^'General Petain, it is said, spent eight days of the Verdun battle rushing about on the front in an armored auto-mitrailleuse, thus 'exhausting, two drivers. An officer who served on his staff said recently: "Petain's staff officers must be a 'combination of track athletes and champion cyclists."

Even since becoming a full general tie has been known to challenge a sergeant to jump over a dyke, or one of ii Is staff lo race up an embankment. His men adore him, and this, perhaps, is a reason for their invincibility, since French soldiers light as if possessed when led by a man whom they trust, and who they know will lot ask them lo do what he does not litre do himself. An illustration of his soldiers' spirit is given in the proud reply of a colonial sergeant to a friend who re- inoiistrared with him on his extravagance while on leave.

I not only admire woman as the most beautiful object ever created, but 1 reverence her as the redeemed glory of humanity, the sanctuary of all virtues, the pledge of all perfect qualities of heart and head, it is because women are so much belter than men that their faults are considered greater. The.one thing in this world that is considered constant, Ihe only peak thai rises above the clouds, the window in which the light burned forever, the one star that darkness cannot quench, is woman's love. It rises to the greatest height, if sinks to the lowest, depth, It forgives the most cruel injuries. A woman's love is tlie perfume of the heart. This is the real love that subdues the earth, the love that has wrought miracles of art, that gives us music all the way from cradle song to the grand symphony that hears the soul away on wings of fire. A love that is greater than fire, sweeter than life and stronger than death.���������Robert CI.

Look up Seed Potatoes Now Owing to tlie heavy losses in potatoes by disease last year, growers are advised by tho Dominion departnient of agriculture to immediately reserve for seed purposes the quantity, and a little more to make allowance for further losses through rot, required for seed purposes. These should be hand- selected tubers, sound and free from any sign of rot. or decay, of uniform size and pure in variety. They should be kept until planting time in a dark, well ventilated and cool place of storage, spread out in a layer not more than throe potatoes deep. There can bo little doubt that farmers who have a good quantity of sound seed potatoes on hand ���������will obtain a high price for them when others begin lo realize the scarcitv of such seed. . tm&m������&&ffim&������������������������M&&&&& iver THE NEVV FRENCH REMEDY.

C. FRIDAY, MAY 12, 1910 gmg As the enquiry into the "charges of "plug- _" in ;he Vancouver by-election progresses it becomes more evident that the whole affair is a huge "frame-up" on the part of tne Bowser machine. This fact is now so transparent that all persons who have enough brains above their ears to create a decent headache realize it. Cross-examined by Mr. Brewster, one of the Seattle jailbirds made the admission that the "pluggers" had voted "wet" and bet their money on "Mr. Tisdall". Premier Bowser had made no declaration on tlie prohibition question prior to the by-election, and it is not natural to suppose that the gang placed their bets on Mr. Tisdall and voted for Macdonald. As a rule, men bet the way they vote.' It is not always the. men who makes the loudest protestations of loyalty who are the most loyal. There aro many men who are today working for day's wages who are contributing more for patriotic purposes than government officials drawing five or six thousand dollars a year. Too many of the latter think they have "done their bit" when they have ..* told the public how intensely patriotic they are and urged the masses to contribute to the various funds. Mr. Ernie Miller} M.P.P., appears to have been the first man to discover that there had been plugging in the recent Vancouver by- election. Perhaps he knew the true history of the case even before the election was held. The Nelson-News is daily jrevealing its real ownership. It is backdoor. bringing Bowserism to our M. A. Macdonald, M.P.P. for Vancouver, yesterday afternoon laid an information against R. R. Gosden, a witness in the Vancouver by-election plugging investigation, charging him with perjury. The information alleges that Gosden perjured himself when he said that Macdonald gave him $50 in Victoria on Easter Tuesday. Peace has been restored in Ireland. But on the Mexican frontier conditions are not im- preving. Too'many United States troops are being rushed to the border merely for the avowed purpose of capturing Villa, doad or alive. The Carranza government has "disavowed" Villa, but this fact does not seem to satisfy Uncle Sam. Apparently Garninza not a kniser. Ignorance is the stepmother of argument. A "bunch of good fellows" collected by Bowser from the slums of Seattle come over here under guarantees of immunity from the trown (given by Bowser) and testify that they went to Vancouver and voted under a guarantee of $10 a day and expenses to prevent other "good fellows from being put out of business." Their idea, or the idea of those with whom they are politically associated, is that their evidence (bought by some one and to be paid for out of the public treasury) will save NOW OR NtVER (By Oliver Wendell Holmes.)

As heads of the household they are the chancellors of domestic exchequers. It is for them to bear in mind that expenditure upon articles that are not actually needed is not alone lessening their own resources, but also depriving the country of something that might be more profitably applied. The majority of men will agree that so far as the household is concerned their women are pretty thrifty. But stinginess, parsimoniousness, or miserliness is not thrift. The thrifty woman combines with a natural aptitude for economy the wisdom of selection and utilization. She knows when to save and when to spend." She knows what is uecessary and what can be done wi.hout, and she makes the best use of everything. Neither does she do all-things herself.^. When help is at hand she utilizes it with discretien. The great aid to thrift is thoughtfulness. In fact, without that element thrift is utterly out of question. The thrifty woman, too, not only exercises wisdom herself, but sees that her children do the same thing not by-indulging them but by delegating them to sundry offices of which they are capable, by making them self-reliant. But the woman can not do all these things by herself. She must enjoy the support, countenance and influence of her menkind. The greatest enemy to thrift is the promiscuous doling out of the money. It is not to boys and girls a sign of good nature; it is death to the recipient. It poisons their disposition and .sows seeds of weeds that can never be eradicated. For that sort of thing women are but little responsible, but where their efforts shine is in allowing nothing to go to waste, in making use of everything, and in exercising ingenuity in food, dress, household labor 'and the bringing up of children. An incentive to the accomplishment of these things is a reflection upon the times, upon the needs and experience of their male relatives at the front, and upon the fact that every ounce saved is a contribution to the welfare of the country and perhaps to winning the war.

Opening with a brief address to the farmers of Canada by Hon. Martin Burrell, federal minister of agriculture, under whose direction the book has been issued, followed by extracts from the budget speech of Sir Thomas White,finance minister of the Dominion, and an article bearing upon the national income and expenditure of the United Kingdom, there ensue contrioutions from over seventy expert authorities on different branches of agriculture, including the compiler and editor of the work, the federal comissioner of ag iculture and-the commissioner of live stock and dairy pr.oducts of the D >minion, the director of experimental farms, chiefs and sub-chiefs of departments of agriculture of. all the provinces and a number ot pro feasors at the different agricultural colleges A vast deal of general in formation, statistical and otherwise, covering various countries as well as Canada, is given along with a large fund of souiid'advice and counsel bearing in particular upon the subjects embraced in thn title. .Although, primarily devoted to agri culture, there is much matter' that tbe general citizen wili find of interest. Among other things he will be rather surprised to learn that j wheat in 1801 was $3.47 a bushel in ' Britain, while last year it was only 81 61, the latu-r, however, being nearly twiee as much as the lowest j point reached, which was in 1891, j when the price was 68 cents. For tie fi:st fifteen years of this century ... the average price of wheat per bushel in ^Britain was 98 cents, _, where is in the first fifteen years of j (he nineteenth century the averagej was something like $2 66 While crop production occupies a lirge space, livestock comes in for, a large share of at enlion, horses ��������� c ttle, sheep, s-vine and poultry all being learnedly dealt with along with d;iiry products aud special crops, such as sugar, sugar hens, honey, maple products, flax, fruit, vegetables and tobacco. In short, no . branch of agriculture is overlooked The nutritive and commercial values of different foods are set forth in company with a deal of excellent advice on the practice and results of thrift. Marketing is dealt with, and sections of the book are devoted, among other subjects, to economy in the" home; patriotic purchasing, women and the war, the call to the colors; patriotic relief work, and education and the war.

RHEUMATISM^ MYSTERY Unless Rooted Out of the Sys- stcm It Grows Worse and Worse Some diseases give immunity from another attack, but rheumatism works just the other "way. Every attack or rheumatism invites another. Worse than that it reduces the body's power so that each attack is worse than the one before. If any disease needs curing early it is rheumatism, but there are few cases physicians, find more difficult to treat successfully. Wet weather does not cause rheumatism as was once thought, though weather conditions may start the aches and pains. Rheumatism is now known to be dependent upon tho blood condition and medical authorities agree that the blood becomes thin with alarming, rapidity as rheumatism de- j velops. Maintaining the quality of the blood is, therefore, a reasonable way oE preventing and curing rheumatism. That it works , out Jn fact is shown by the beneficial results which follow a fair use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These pills actually make new, rich blood which drives out tlie rheumatic poison, and while the blood is kept in this condition there is no danger- of the -trouble returning. .Mr. W. T. Pell, Palermo, Ont., says: "I was attacked with a trouble which was ultimately, pronounced rlieuma-' tism.; Often I was barely able to crawl into bed, and seldom able to do a full .day's work! ��������� ��������� In this condition I doctored for a -year, absolutely getting no better. Then-1 consulted another doctor whoso chief consolation was that unless I could get rid of the trouble i would be a cripple for life. He ��������� prescribed dieting, and I doctored with him for at; least six months, but instead of getting relief I became weaker and less able to get around. Then I decided to try a doctor in Toronto, and was under his treatment for about four months with no better results. I gave up the doctors and tried other remedies which were equally . futile. Then one day our store keeper sent me a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, saying, that if they did not help me I need not pay for them. I took then! and then got some more and found they were helping me; I probably used $10 worth before I felt fully cured, but they did cure me and were cheap as compared with the other treatments which did not help me. The cure was made several years ago, and I have not had a twinge of -rheumatism "since. ���������-'-Today I am well and strong and I believe I owe it all to Dr. Williams': Pink Pills." ; ' .

Britain Handles Mail As Fast as Possible The enormous number of parcels of merchandise seized from the parcels post while en route to and from the United States are being dispersed of as rapidly as possible by the British authorities.

They substitute for the old local buyer system, a system of handling stock that results in an actual saving in necessary expenses amounting to forty or.fifty dollars a carload. This saving is entirely ontsido of any 'profits thai tho local buyer might take. It-is quite impossible for a local buyer to complet with a shipping associa'- tion. There aro approximately 200 'f these* associations in Minnesota, and so far as wo know, says A. D. Wilson, director of the extension division of the Minnesota college of agriculture,, not .one has failed. The organization is exceedingly simple as no capital stock is sold- and -none is needed. It represents simply a mutual agreement by a group of farmers to ship their stock together, and by this'means each farmer, regardless ot the amount of" stock handled, is enabled to ship to a central market at carload rates and to get exactly what his stock brings on the market less the cost of.freight. yardage, commission, v.etc. In -.other' words, a man call sell ono hog to just as good advantage as he can a carload. The Boys' and Girls' Clubs One of the most valuable and interesting organization and educational movements sUirted and supervised by the U.S. department of agriculture, is the boys' and -girls' clubs throughout the'agricultural'sections of (his country. In the southern states 110,000,000 boys and girls were enrolled during' .1915. Of the (30,000 boys, many were interested in soil improvement and in pig and poultry raising. The 50,000 girls were enrolled in the tanning clubs. In the northern and western states ���������.- there wore 150,000 boys and girls onrolled in various clubs. ' ThV leading,, projects were the growing of corn, potatoes, garden and canning wprk. ..Aside from the educational value'.of this work the social and economic co operation resulting from these clubs is beyond all valuation. "I hear that the Browns are going to lead the simple life this summer." "That is news to me." "That they are to live that way?" . "No; that.Brown is so deeply involved."
