Converting Uie letter into boxes at 40 pounds to the box, we have the equivalent of 157,369 as compared with 115,588 one year ago, or a grand total of apple shipments this year of 1,501,872 boxes cpmpared with 1,837,- 134 boxes - last' year, 'or a decrease in shipments of 335,212 boxes. Considering the reduced estimates- of the 1926 crop, and the higher prices which have been prevailing, this cannot be regarded other than as a satisfactory showing. -Regarding Mcintosh Reds, it is now apparent from figures in the possas- sion of the committee that the original estimate of .approximately 790,000 ls likely to be fully realized. At the time the Mcintosh were opened in Sep Umber there were apparently grounds the Pacific Halibut treaty.

The program of the General Meeting of the British Columbia Division of the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy to be held ln Vancouver on November 27 28 and 29 has been designed with the object of presenting a comprehensive review of the important development and progress of the mining Industry of the province during the current year.

Main towers of the bridge are 367 feet in height and of steel construction. The magnitude of he structure ls indicated by the qualities of different kinds of material used. Structural steel and cable wire weigh approximately 24,000 tons; concrete masonry measures 25,000 cubic feet; cement used totalled 40,000 barrels; the roadway pavement ls 60.000 square yards, sidewalk 8000 square yards. Two million rivets were driven during the progress of the construction of the steel portions of the bridge.

The chairman of the committee returned last week from a visit to the'. prairie centers—Winnipeg, Regina,, Saskatoon, Edmonton and Calgary. At* all theee. points favorable comment was heard upon the quality and packing of British Columbia fruit during the 1929 season. This reflects the added attention given by all Interested and the effect of more extended Inspection by the Dominion department ot agriculture. The statement was mads by fruit Iqhbing houses, quite generally, that there was nn money in .-'.o'-ng British OolumbU apples this year due to the competition ot chain stores and what are more particularly grocery houses. The gradual absorbtion of retailers by the chain stores ls doubtless having an effect upon the distribution enjoyed by the Jobbing houses. There I was a disposition to believe that the1 problem was for settlement among themselves—though how lt was to be effected Was not clear. All those prairie organizations ure buying fruit] of the citrus order freely and also bananas, and certain of them are Importing comparatively large quantities of Ontario 'apples, which are naturally to competition with those from B.C. However, the quality and pack of the' former were not giving as much satisfaction as were those from B.C. The Bulk Movement Regarding shipments of apples In hulk, there are two definite schools of thought, one that believes that lt should be encouraged and ls here to stay; and the other that think that the damage to the boxed apple deal more than offsets any gain In the movement) of bulk apples. However, the former claim that, in all fairness to themselves and wholesalers, lt ahould.be clearly stated at the beginning of, each season that bulk apples will be available arid that the price on these should be set by the Committee when the price is set on other 'grades. Considering that, as pointed out above, tihe total weight of bulk apples shipped this year Is- 6,294,778 pounds as compared with 4,623,536 pounds last year, lt ls evident that a ready market ls being found for bulk shipments, more particularly in the centers of population.

BRITISH COLUMBIA CONTROLS THE FISHERIES INDUSTRY VICTORIA.—The great fish canning and packing Industry of Canada's Pacific coast has been placed under the control of the British Columbia government by a decision of the Imperial privy council. This tribunal decided that the federal government has no right to license this industry, as it has been doing for many years, and th t the province alone was competent to collect revenue from it. In the past both governments have charged canneries a license fee. Now lt ls expected that tbe province will increase its fee to an amount equ 1 to the two present levies combined. As this province has often been in conflict with the views of the federal authorities on fishery problems of this coast, the new powers conferred on the provincial authorities are reg rded as highly Important. Before framing Its policy wider the new decision the provincial 'fisheries. department will call a conference of all interested fishermen and canners.

The burglars made their getaway in an auto and are believed to have crossed the boundary line. more than twenty-five years to develop on the Pacific, and that volume will be ten times greater on the Pacific than on the Atlantic. I have Just completed a trip of Asia, India and Europe, and it is as clear as clear as day follows night that the great world trend of the next few years will be the swing of Asia's trade away trom Europe across the Pacific to America. Centuries of trade with Europe has done nothing for Asia; Europe's thought is militant and politic. America's thought Is social and economic; that ls what Asia wants and needs. Ten years of the Intimate and growing trade which is spronging up with America will do more for Asia than centuries of trade with Europe. Our trade and thought will help Asia evolve economically and put her on her feet socially. ADVERTISING LASTS TWENTY YEARS Advertising is often pictured as ephemeral and of fleeting value, but a recent experience of one of the big motor companies indicates that lt may be more permanent than has hitherto been suspected. An enquiry has Just been received by the Oakland [company ln response to an advertlse- ' ment published ln a popular weekly magazine during 1909. In those days, when automobile dealers were few and far between,, advertisements ujsuailly carried coupons to be sent in to the factory. The coupon from the 1909 ad vertlsement was sent In by a prospect ta Galena, Kansas, and asked for further details regarding an Oakland "Forty" runabout which boasted the then new feature of. a rumble seat.

The railroad man has not one but several colorful terms for the' men and things that enter into his day's work.

A switch engine, which butts cars about the yards, is the "goat." The engine Is "hoghead," "hogger," and "swell head." The firman is "bakehead."

NOVEMBER 22. 1029 NOTES, NOTIONS & NOTABLES THERE arc many Instances of works that come full- grown from their creators' brains. Robert Louis Stevenson wrote "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde" on waking from a troubled sleep, while desperately 111; and he wrote the whole amazing work at literally fever heat, then rewrote it from start to finish, and all within six days. Longfellow's "Psalm of Life" was built up from notes he jotted down on a bit of blank paper of card In his pocket; but the "The Wreck of the Hesperus," he said: "i feel pleased with the ballad. It hardly cost me an effort. It did not come to my mind by lines, but by stanzas." THE Mormon tabernacle ls in many ways unique, particularly ta the construction of the roof. It was planned by Henry Grow and William H. Folsom. The building is a peilect ellipse, 250 feet long 150 feet wide and 80 feet iiigh and has a seating capacity of over 8000. The marvelous acoustic propertied- ot the auditorium are due to the fact that the roof is entirely unsupported except at the walls. No nails were used in the roof, the timbers being tied in place with cowhide and held together with wooden pegs. IN a biography of George Washington lt Is narrated that he was reluctant to visit France at the end of his presidential term, because he could not speak French. Which ls only another tribute to his greatness and his wisdom. What wise man does not regret the lack of education? There ls so much to learn ln life and so brief a time In which to learn ltl To grasp the life and literature of those ancient lands from which our civilisation and all our religions are derived would require a coouple of centuries at least. And then we would only be in the A B C class of modern study. The more one really learns, the more one wants to learn. All who have tasted of education must regret their lack of complete possession of it. WHEN almost six years of age, Benjamin Blythe, who afterward became a noted Scottish engineer was walking with his father when the child asked, "Papa, at what hour was I born?" He was told 4 a.m., and he then asked "What o'clock is it now?" He was told 7:50 a.m. The boy walked on a few hundred yards, then turned to his father and stated the number of seconds he had lived—which on calculation proved correct, even allowing for a leap year. DICTATION is no new thing, though commoner today than of old. A friend suggested to Oliver Goldsmith that he use the services of an amanuensis, to avoid the physical labor Of writing. He tried' it. It did not work. He paced up and down the room while the amanuensis sat and waited tor the words to be set down. At last Goldsmith turned to him, put the agreed-on fee Into his hands, and dismissed him with these words. "It won't do, my friend, I find that my head and my hands must work together." WHATEVER else parents do, let them hold fast to imagination. If they have ever believed in fairies, let them not make growing up like traveling along level road where everything must eventually disappear behind the horizon, but let them make it like the ascent of a steep hill where the view constantly widens as one goes higher and nothing once seen is ever shut out again. Then they will never say to their children, "You're too young to understand," and what is quite as important, their children will never nefed say of them, "They're too old to understand," What is even more important, they will never reach the deadly dull state of being completely grown up, because they will realize that if we have wings we can never- reach the place where we can go no higher. THE toughest beefsteak may be rendered as tender and delicious as the choicest porterhouse if one will carry with him wherever he dines a bottle of papaw tree Juice and rub it on his meat. The papaw is a peculiar tree of northern South America and other tropical regions, where natives Use its juice ta this way to Improve their meat. The papaws are definitely divided into two sexes, with distinct characteristics, whereas in most plants and trees each individual is equipped to reproduce itself alone, possessing both the male and female organs. Among the papaws, of which there are twenty-seven species, the male flowers occurring in long scattered racomes and the female ta short small bundles. Another peculiarity of the papaw is that the juice of the plants contain fibrine, a substance which so far known exists elsewhere only ta animal flesh. IS LOVE simply the result of electrical attraction? Is the human body an electric battery and our life, energy, and vitality dependent on how strong a current we create? A doctor has stirred up tremendous discussion by declaring that chemical activity to the cells of the human body reduces electricity, that this electricity maintains the life process, and that lack of lt finally causes death. He believes the human current has a great tobuence over all our emotions, including love, and thinks this may explain why certain people are attracted to one another, or vice versa. A famous electrical expert says: "We have never Isolated this current, and' the laws of electrophysology are not well known, but we have many proofs that this current exists. The body produces electricity ln a score of different ways. At every muscular contraction or Irritation of a nervous center there are vibrations that liberate this mysterious power. The least movement of a muscle produces electricity. For every heartbeat there is a corresponding oscillation of the galvanometer needle." A STOCK exchange, as generally understood, need not necessarily be a building where securities are bought and sold, but any place, even to the open air,as for Instance, "curb" stock exchanges. Securities which are not upon the large stock exchanges, or new securities which have not as yet been listed upon such ejehanges, are handled in what is known as the curb market. The reason novtedatysi for the existence of curb markets to the open rather than to some building Is that If the latter plan were pursued there would eqlst another exchange and it would be permissible for a member of the regular ex change of the city to be represented thereon, aa he frequently now Is on the curb. AFTER studying the records of more than 1800 earthquakes ln California which have occurred since 1912, a Pacific coast scientist comes to the Interesting conclusion that all the quakes came when the moon was ln a certain quarter. The quakes occur ta a fruit line, or crack ln the substructure of the earth's crust. It was found that when the fault-line ran a northwesterly direction the earthquake would come when the moon was between the merldan and western horizon, or when it had not yet arisen and was ta the directly opposite position. When the quake occurred on a fault-line running east and west, lt was found that the moon would be ln the corresponding quadrants of the sky. Four out of five of the strongest shocks occurring ta one place would come when the moon was in the same position it had been ln during the main shock. Just why this relationship between the moon's position and earthquakes is so consistent has not yet been explained. REPRESENTATIVES of the ancient Maya race still live at Cozumel, nine miles off the coast of Yucatan, Mexico. They are direct descendants of that half fabulous and mighty race which built the ruined wonder cities of Yucatan; which offered human hearts to Kukulkan, the feathered serpent god, at Uxmal; which flung sacrizclal maidens, decked with Jade and gold and flowers, Into the deep subterranean pool at Chichen-tza. Having seen those myystcrious cities, those artiqclal altars and that pool it gives you a start—as if you had miraculously pulled aside the curtain of time—to behold Maya faces in the living flesh, faces that we so often call Aztec. Yet there in Cozumel those faces still exist by the hundreds. A short and stocky race, almost beardless and with coarse black hair, they remind you of the Japanese. Though all memory ot their former Imperial glory has utterly departed, they still speak the ancient Maya tongue, for thousands of years even before the Spanish conquest. This tongue, by the way, is one of the very few aboriginal languages that have ever stoo doff a white man's speech. Even today, Spanish controls only the cities of Yucatan. The country at large still conducts its business—especially the chicle business—in Maya, and on Cozumel you year it everywhere. unERNARD SHAW is his own press agent," a publisher •mf said, "and a better press agent never lived. Shaw counts that day lost which doesn't see him ta the news columns on some excuse or other. The man is more resourceful than Willie Williams, who was the best press agent the west ever had. A great French actress came to Chicago once, and Willie Williams was put upon her trail. But she sternly said to him: 'No publicity. I insist on being left alone. Remember, sir, no publicity.' Willie Williams laughed for Joy. 'Gee,' he said, 'what a story I can make o' that!'"

POEMS FROM THE FAR EAST PERSIA t FROM THE STORY OF SOHRAB Oh ye, who dwell in Youth's inviting bowers, Waste not, ln useless joy, your beetlng hours, But rather let the tears of sorrow roll, And sad' rebectlon fill the conscious soul. For many a jocund spring has passed away, And many a flowed has blossomed, to decay; And human life, still hastening to a close, Finds ta the worthless dust Its last repose. Still the vain world abounds ln strife and hate, And sire and son provoke each Other's fate; And kindred blood by kindred hands ls shed, And vengeance sleeps not—dies not, with the dead, All nature fades—the garden's treasures-tall, Young bud, and citron ripe—ail perish, all. —Flrdusl. ANCIENT HISTORY TWENTY YEARS AGO IN GRAND FORK* Among the main Items of the Ottawa government's estimates, laid on the table in the house last Thursday by Hon. W. S. Fielding, is an appropriation of $10,000 for the Grand Forks public building. This is only the vrst Instalment, and not the total cost of the building. Greenwood also gets $10,000 for a similar purpose. SUNSHINE Keeping Up With the Scotch Stories They are always telling stories on the Scotch. Some of them are true, some of thar. are false, but here is one about a Scotchman who would net patronize his home paper although he owned a store. For several weeks his business was not as good as usual. He decided to pep things up by offering a gift to each customer a certain day, so he placed a sign ta his window saying, "A coat hanger and a cigar lighter free with each purchase." Each customer received a nail and a match. • • • Japanese Tootle Their Born Shoet "Hi, HI" "Rules of the Road and Hints to Motorists" In Tokyo, Japan, are print e&rln Time, the Newsmagazine, as follows: 1.

The success of these vegetable protein con centrates ditpcnds upon two factors. First, a large amount is necessary in th emash because they do not run as high in protein as do meat scraps and tankage. Second, since they are low in mineral, additional mineral, must be added to make up for this deqclency. The Missouri agricultural experimental -station has fed the following mash to laying hens: ! Bran : ..Z 22 lbs. Shorts .„ 22 lbs. Corn meal 22 lbs. Linseed or soy bean meal 30 lbs. Bone meal 4 lbs. Salt 1 lb. The above mash constituted about one-third of the ration. It was kept before the hens all the time and ln addition a moist, crumbly mash was fed once dally. No meat or milk was employed in the diet. The balance of the ration consisted of com and oats '■ an dregular methods of feeding hens were employed. Oyster shells or limestone rock was before the hens all the time. I Such a ration produced as many eggs per hen as did similar rations ta which the mash consisted 20 per cent meat scraps or tankage instead of the cottonseed or soy bean meal. The re ! suits were not satisfactory unless the bone meal and salt was added. A . year's test with ground soy beans failed to produce quite as many eggs as did the cottonseed meal. This may be due to the fact that the ground beans were higher in fat and as a result the ration was not properly balanced. A partial substitution may be made and the following mash is recommended: Bran 24 lbs. Shorts 24 lbs. corn meal 24 lbs. Ground soy beans 16 lbs. I Tankage ._ _.. 10 lbs. ' Bone meal I... 2 lbs. Salt 1 lb. This should be kept ln open troughs before the hens all the time and fed the same as any regular laying mash. It may be that a larger percentage of the beans may be used but lt is advisable to await further Investigation before following this practice.

It is not our intention to define or suggest standards of beauty, but there are certain things which most persons will agree upon as being desirable and as adding to the charm of an individual; to these we will refer. The carriage of the individual, his posture whether standing or sitting, is a reflection of his general health. The person who faces the world with head erect and shoulders level is much more attractive than ls the round-! shouldered individual who fixes his eyes on the ground. Good posture is an asset of good health and habits. It is useful to each individual and pleasing to the rest of the world. Strained and tired eyes are not beautiful. Clear bright eyes are the rejection of a rested; healthy mind and body, whether they are shielded by glasses or not. Clean regular teeth make for an attractive smile. Good teeth are the result of proper diet, of the daily use of the tooth brush and regular visits to the dentist. Just as the quality of the teeth ls chiefly determined by diet, so is every part of the body a mirror of proper care, as shown by the use of suitable food and the practice of good health habits. A healthy skin cannot be secured by external applications of cosmetics; it ls the product ot a healthy life and plenty of soap and water. A pure mild soap is not injurious to the skin of the face. Expression which determines beauty much more than physical features depends upon mental health. The individual who looks upon life fearlessly, who does not give up his mind to an brer and envy, who directs his thots into proper channels through good read Ing and companionship, who seeks the best in everything—such a person radiates happiness through his expression. Beauty truly comes from within I Questions, concerning health, addressed to the Canadian Medical association, 184 College street, Toronto, will be answered personally by letter. By ERWIN OREER President Greer College /"|||"' IE Better Business Bureau, of u III New York, Issues a warning bul- ■II letln to its members directing their attention to the tact that a so-called "Volunteer Air Service" scheme, which advertised extensively that it would give courses of instruction and insignia to those who sent small sums to lt, has discontinued operations at the request of the Post Office. Every possible variety of faker turns up, soon or late, in connection with every possible business. While businesses are still haloed with novelty these crooked stunts are numerous. Postoffice officials esttimate that more than one billion dollars are taken each year from gullible suckers for fake stock promotions. In the past the favorites of the fakers were gold mine and oil promotions. But now all over the country fake airplane and dirigible companies are springing up to separate the nit-wit from his coin. It should be borne ln mind that any reputable aviation business can interest all the capital lt needs without pretending to offer a job for the money. Whenever any such bait is dangled before an investor, the bait is tainted; and whosoever bites is a sucker, pure and simple—and four times as simple as he is pure. There is only one reas. onably safe way to buy aviation stock or any other kind of stock. Oo to your banker or any other reliable Investment house and get their opinion ot the issue. If they don't advise you to buy, don't buy. And if you buy remember that the stock ot any new legitimate company, whether airplane or grocery, is a speculation, not an investment. • ei The new business may. make money, or it may not.. It may honestly succeed or honestly fail. A moderate proportion of anyone's savings might be put widely Into some airplane business, with the hope of profit and the expectation of possible loss. But no one should invest in the stock ot any new business who is not prepared to stand loss. There is no guarantee that any new business will make money; the only guarantee that an established business will make money in the future is its record ln the past. And new businesses have no past. They are plain speculations. Don't be a sucker! looks and the prospective owner should Insure tbat the look* ot hii neighborhood will not be allowed to deteriorate." community: LLIII INI B. C.

WORDS .Debt and doubt were once spelled dot and dout, Jut as they were taken from the French, but the scholars of he Renaissance, anxious to show the ultimate derivative from the Latin stems "deb" and "dub," inserted an entirely unnecessary "b" Into the words. The word sport Is an abbreviation of "disport," a French word meaning "to carry oneself In a different direction from that of one's ordinary business." AMERICAN INDIAN MUSIC Among the Indians of the Southwest notched sticks which are rasped together or on gourds, bones or baskets to accentuate the rhythm, and rattles, too, are common. The Maidu Indians of California have a musical bow possessed of great religious importance. HOMES MADE POSSIBLE BY LOAN ASSOCIATIONS Statistics made public by the building loan and savings associations ef the United States show that in the last eight years the 13,000 thrift associations scattered through the country have flnancied 3,796,000 homes, valued at 113,144,000,000. The number has steadily Increased and it was estimated that qOO.OOO homes were financed last year to the value of $2,300,000,- 000. More than one-seventh of the entire opulatlon ot the country Is now housed in buildings financed by these associations, the number provided tor being 18,965,000. Of the 3,796,000 homes, 2,600,000 are being paid for on weekly or monthly payments. There are at present more than 12,000,000 members of these associations and the current assets are $8,155,000,000. Approximately 116,000,000,000 of the expenditures of the associations wm paid out to workmen and artisans who helped to construct the homes. More than 02 per cent of th money invested went to finance home owning. This latter result was not accidental, bat due to he reason that the primary purpose of these associations Is to help people in owning their own homes. BEAUTIFYING SMALL GARDENS Within the smaller garden there Is! no room for the larger architectural features such as the pergola or gar. den shelter, but there is always a place for a bit of furniture or ornament.. Such an object may occupy the cen. ter of the garden. For example, a sun dial of stature standing alone may be the principal factor of the design. Or possibly a bird bath may form tho to- cal point of a vista, or may be con sldered a sufficient motive tor Uu dl' rectlon of a walk. Other objects may mark an entrance gate to the garden by symmetrically janking either side. A series of smaller objects might determine the outer corners of a formal flower bed, thus adding materially in emphasli' Ing the design. SAVE THE WILD FLOWERS Miles and miles of highways are being constructed, square corners are turned Into sweeping curves, more dl' rect routes cut across woodt and fields Every year hitherto untouched woodlands are being cleared or opened tor grazing. Watch for opportunities like inese to rescue flowers and shrubs otherwise doomed to die; study their needs and give them a home as much as possible like the one that was taken to auuply the needs ot the man. HOSPITABLE HOME ENTRANCE The entrance should be hospitable and so placed as to help the harmony of the building—not necessarily ln the exact center of the front wall, but ln harmony with the other features of the house. One too frequently seen fault of modern houses is that thei doorways are small. The fine, big doorways of some ot the old-fashioned houses frequently reach well up to the sill of the second-storey windows and aeevn to extend a hospitable air of welcome to the Incoming guest. PAINT FREQUENTLY Repainting is as Important as painting at all. This is as true of painted metal as lt ls ot painted wood. When ^odui. wears out, as it does eventually, it must be renewed. The frequency ol renewal should not depend upon the whim of the home owner. As soon as paint shows signs of breaking down it ^uuta ou reuuorced with fresh paint.. APPEARANCES ADD MUCH TO REAL ESTATE VALUES Agreements on the part ot real estate developers to halntaln sold and unsold property in a presentable condition by setting out trees, shrubbery and flowers, of grading parkways and keeping weeds out on Individual lots form one of the strongest factors which make for increased realty values, according to a prominenc real estate broker. "Property values rise throug an influx of purchasers," he says, "and purchasers are attracted to an unbelievable degree by the physical appear' ance of the property itself. Peoplo of means insist on well-kept surround' Ings, and it ls a fact that every development around cttlos which hap been operated under maintenance agreements' as regards the upkeep of appearances has not only been populated quickly, but has undergone noticeable Increases in realty values. ,. "The appearance of property ls .actually part of its value, for Its desirability depends to a great extend on ARCHITECTURAL VALUE A house of true architecture costs no more, excepting perhaps a little at first, than the ugly, poorly built house. It costs no more at any time than is necessary to Insure you the absolute minimum of sound construction, and yet lt yelds dividends year after year In satisfaction, pride ann Joy in possession. GUINEA PIG GOOD EATING Your menu of the future may list one of the oldest American dishes, but one which you probably have never tasted—guinea pig. The Farm Journal reports an increasing interest in raising the little animals throughout the country and points out that they are as appetizing as either rabbits or squirrels, and that since they are entirely vegetarian ln diet, their flesh ls among the cleanest of domestic animals. Early Spanish explorers, lt Is recalled, found Indian tribes that] bred guinea pigs and prised them above wild game.
