Where Did She Gome From? New Westminster, Sept. 19.—Sbe was petite and vivacious, with an engaging suspicion of embonpoint, and sbe was with a party "seeing tbe exhibition" here last week on tbe day Premier Oliver graced the proceedings with his presen ;e. Included in ber party was Hon. ID. Dudley Barrow, minister of agriculture. As the little group sauntered up the central driveway, a stout he- whiskered man, with a heavy rolling gait, passed. "Tbere goes John Oliver," one of the group remarked. Thero was some further comment, and the vivacious one was frankly puzzled. Suddenly she stepped to tf* side of the minister of agriculture. "I don't want to air my ignorance before everyone," she softly cooed, "but, tell mc, who is John Oliver'!" WILL EXHIBIT AT Kettle Valley Apples Will Be Shown in Competition With Fruit From All Parts of the Empire A couple of dozen boxes of choice apples left the central packing house yesterday destined for the Imperial Fruit Show, which will be heid in London, Kugland, from October 28 to November 5. The exhibit will be made by the Okanagan United Growers in tbe name of tbe Grand Forks district. Tbe apples shipped away for exibit at the show were of an exceptionally fine quality, and Manager Lucas feels confident that Grand Forks will capture a big prize at the show. The Imperial Fruit Show will comprise exhibits from England, Scotland, Ireland and all tbe overseas dominions. A priza from the show will naturally be a big advertisement for the district. William A.

Okanagan Crop Is Valued at !$8,000,000 Victoria, Sept. 22.—The value of the fruit crop in the Okanagan this year will aggregate atjeast $8,000,- 000, according to W. H. Lyne, provincial fruit inspector, wbo has just returned from inspecting the fruit quarantine stations along the border. "At every point I visited I found heavlly-iladeu fruit trees and opti* mistic growers," said Mr. Lyne. "The farmer has been particularly fortunate this, year as regards frosts and fruit pests, aud many additional trees have come into bearing this season." Mr. Lyne added that men were needed to harvest adples, pears, plums and peaches, and tbat the big ranchers in tbe Osanagan and Creston districts w_ere working hard to' pick the fruit before the heavy frosts came. "There is a tremendous amount ofwork to he done io the fruit dis tricts in.connection with the harvesting and marketing of the crops and the curing for the orchards during the winter," said the inspector. Who Will Oppose McKelvie in Yale? Accoading to the Penticton Herald, tbe chief political question usked in Vale riding these days is, "Who will oppose J. A.

Col. Kdgett ran as the soldiej farmer candidate against Mr. McKelvie in the by election, Mr. Howe,a farmer living midway between Vernon and Kelowna, and one of tbe big Mackintosh apple growers of tha valley, has also been mentioned as a farmer caubidate possibility. It is stated tbut a deputation of soldiers and Liberals approached Capt. Brown of tbe soldier settlement board, Vernon, asking him to throw his hat in the ring. Up to the present nothiug has been heard of any opposition possibilities in the southern end of the riding. The expectation ia that an opposition convention will be held in Pen» ticton shortly for tbo whole riding. THB SUN, GRAND FORKS, B. C. ®te (famnii 3ff0rk0 §utt AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER Q. A. EVAN8.

C. OFFICE: COLUMBIA AVENUE AND LAKE STREET. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1921 Nature meant us to earn our bread by the sweat of our brow, and if a nftin does that na ture generally gets him in good physical con dition. But if he forgets all this, rides instead of walking, confines his energies to a swivel chair, stays within the four walls of a room, persists in the belief that he is the exception to every other animal that nature made, she soon begins to exact her penalties of him. He finds his resistive power lower. He finds he has more weight and less muscular strength to carry it. He dislkes evercise, because it tires him, and the less he exercises the more the deterioration goes on. Soon every organ par takes of this slackness. With his work cimes worry and with that worry an irritable con dition of nerves. Suddenly he is brought up with a round stop and learns from his doctor that something is wrong with him. Then begins the pursuit of health, the vacations, which formerly were a pleasure to him, are . full of the foreboding and wondering whether he will be all right in a month or six months. And all this can be prevent not by orgies of exercise, n st by doing things to such an excess as to still further load the vitality and resistive force, but by constant "small doses daily of a moderate exercise, which takes nothing out of a man but exhilerates him and is after nature's OiV.i methods, which consists in gradual rather th ta violent changes. With the improvement thu comas from this moderate exercise his will power strengthens and his appetite be - c s n ,s more normal, so thit he can more roadi - ly c mtrol it ajid eat in moderation and eujoy th it food. And in proportion as ha practices temoerance, jnst so much doe3 his mental and norvnus tone improve. And he soon finds that ijhere is double the enjoyment in the kind of eating he does when vigorous and under self- control than that which he practiced before. Every part helps a part, and when the circle is a vicious tircle it leads around to greater deterioration, and when it is a beneficial circle it leads around to better improvement in all respects. The average man knows enough to take care of inanimate machines, to see that they have oil, to see that they are not run badly or in an imperfect condition. The average will see that his horse or his motor car is properly taken care of. He will insist that his boys at school have proper exercise and sports. Whon it comes to himself he feels that he can take any liberty or lieense, forget all the dictates of health, and yet expect to go on with his work just the same. cay, ahd all wounds made in repair work should be cleaned, sterilized and protected from infection as carefully as similar wounds are treated iu animal surgery, and for tlffi same reason. The tragedy at Hull calls attention once more to the serious practical disadvantages that surround the use of a lighter-than-air machine in flying. Theoretically the dirigible airship is all right, but in actual use it has again and again proved unstable and dangerous. The Germans expected great things from their Zeppelins but got little good from them. The presence of such enormons quantities of inflammable gas jiear powerful combustion engines is a constant peril; and even if a really non-inflammable gas were discovered, it would still be difficult to give so huge a hollow body as the dirigible envelope the rigidity and sta" bility necessary to sustain it against the force of a high wind or the strain of sudden changes in direction. g built Tiie new capital of India is now l.ein just south of Delhi. Although Delhi is the site of many ancient capitals, the present city dates from the reign of Shah Jahan, the greatest of the Mogul emperors, and is only about as old, therefore, as Boston.or New York. Tho new capital city when completed will cover ap proximately thirty-six thousand aeffis and will house more than fifty thousand people connected \vi_>li the imperial government. A few years ago Austalia also undertook to ere ato a new capital, Canberra; and the architect, who was selected through competition, was an American, Owing to political influences, however, Melbourne still remains the seat of government, and work on the new city of Canberra languishes. The Less Governments Mix in Business the Better for the Peoples An experience of many years has led me to believe that governments not only accomplish less in the long run for the trading interests of their respective nations, and do harm by let ting their traders rely too little on their own energy, but that those' dangers to a govern ment and to a ration as a whole, which seem almost inseparable from mixing national policy with the pecuniary interests of business affairs or classes, are more serious than is commonly realized, is the opinion of Viscount Bryce, according to views expressed by him in a recent lecture in Institute of Politics. Money, he says, can exercise much legitimate influence in democracies as elsewhere. In some of them it can buy the press, perhaps also a section of legislators. When the standard of public virtue is high, those who want to get something from the government will, to use a current expression, "try to get at the press," while also seek ng to induce influential constituents to put pressure on their members and membtrs to put prjssure on ministers, the object in view being represented as a public inteeest, whereas, it is really the interest of a small group. When the standard is low, the group will approach the private secretaries of jninisters or even a minister himself. That wars are made by finantiers is not gen erally true, but they have a great hand in ne gotiations and in fixing the lines of policy, and they sometimes turn it in directions not fav orable to true national interests. Governments must, of course, consult financiers, and may often not only profit by their advice, but make use of them. A consortium of banks such as has been set up for China may prevent—and I think it does prevent—evils which would arise if each national group intrigued for its own interest. There are upright men valuable to a nation in high finance as in other' professions. You know them in America and we know them in England. They have their sphere of action necessary to thc world. But wherever large transactions involving governments arise, the danger signal for watchfulness should be raised. Every government must defend the rights of its citizens in commorcfal as well as other matters, and secure for them a fair field in the competition which has now become so keen. But the general conclusion which any one who balances thc benefits attained against the evils engendered by the methods that have been generally followed, is that, balancing tho loss againss the gain, the less executive governments have to do with business and international finance the better for the peoples.
