Hospital Day The Directors of the Greenwood and District Hospital tender their sincere thanks and appreciation to all those who contributed so much to the success of the Annual Hospital Day held last Friday, May 13th. Irrespective of the day and the date every item was a success. ��� The total amount realised was $170.60. George Gray very kindly gave the whole of the two nights Picture Show receipts, Miss Renie Skilton and James Hallett gave their services free. Mr. Gray has always been most generous iri his support of the Hospital and the Special Picture Show selected by him was most enthusiastically appreciated. The Dance attracted a fine attendance, and a prettier collection of young girls and good dancers could hardly be found. The music by theBush Orchestra was good, a new instrument, the banjo, well played emphasized the time. The Supper was bountiful, thanks to Beaverdell, Rock Creek, Kettle Valley and Midway who supplied more than was necessary. The Greenwood Ladies of the Auxiliary, under the competent supervision'of Mrs. Royce, President of the Auxiliary, attended to the service of supper with perfection. G. S. Walters, Vice- President of the Hospital, arranged the whole proceedings, and his never failing energy deserves praise and appreciation. The Hospital was open for the inspettion of visitors and' tea was on hand, served by- the Matron and Nurses. The attendance of visitors did not receive the response anticipated, but no doubt our many well wishers will write to us expressing their continued good wishes. The Directors of the Hospital would have inaugerated sports and games, but other celebrations coming, Jor,ward in the near |futUre,-rsu^gested'^cur��ailtn"ent; but probably the 1928 Hospital Day will be more fully comemorated.

He was accompanied by Mickey, Mackay, a member of the Chicago ".'��� Hockey team and a former member of the Grand Forks Hockey team. Mr. and Mrs. B. W Bubar of Beaverdell, were in town on Wednesday. Mr. Bubar brought in his mother, Mrs. C. W. Bubar, to the District Hospital where she underwent an operation yesterday afternoon and is doing very nicely. Our neighboring Mining Camp, Beaverdell, continues its busy existence, somewhat fascinated by its problems but contented in its ever increasing prosperity. Everywhere is activity���the motor trucks and the wagons, all laden with their precious silver burdens, rumble down the road leading from the mines to the railway and the road repair men labor in their endeavor that the road be kept in such condition that the silver- stream may flow down without interruption and that the volume of necessary mining supplies may be carried back to the mines. n When the Kettle Valley- Railway train, grinds to' a stop at Beaverdell station, the traveller, very naturally, looks about in" search of the town or village' which bears such a picturesque name. Instead of a town he sees a row of ore bins on which are the names, "Sally," . "Wellington,"" "Bell," "Beaver"���surely not a pre-possessing sight from a. point of beauty, but did he inquire, as is often done, or were the information vouchsafed to him, he would be startled to learn of the wealth which passes thro these bins annually.- . About one-half mile from the railway, effectively hidden by a screen of trees is the little.town of- Beaverdell and in her seclusion, it would seem, almost, as if she were carefully guarding her secret of wealth. It is permissable'to say that such is the case in one important respect and the wealth of ��� the mines is not of purer silver" than is the spirit of helpfulness, friendliness and good-fellowship, , which is the key-note of the entire Beaverdell Camp���a hardy survivor of the "Old West." The impression that the four. mines already mentioned are the- sole source of activity in Beaverdell Camp, would be most mislead- . ing asthefe are mining operations' being carried forward on twelve additional properties and these operations must not be considered ' as of the least importance,' some are producing ore, others are developing and preparing for production. In conclusion, let it be said that the word "wild-cat" is unknown to Beaverdell. The phrase which reaches the ears most often, in that wonderful little camp is "work and produce ore"���truly a phrase_-_wor.thy_oL_the_men--who-- wrestle with nature to wiruher precious gifts.

Western Canada Points tne Way One of the moat notable gatherings-of the year, ancl oue ia wliich .aU tho peoplo of Western Canada were particularly and directly interested was tho international co-operative-wheat pool * conference held at Kansas City, and at which representatives were present I'rom the United States, Australia, Germany, Russia, as well as from the three great wheat producing provinces: of Canada. ._ ; ! ' ��� Wusiorn Canada was easily the outstanding and dominant factor at tha conference. And rightly so because in three short years the farmers of th-* Prairie Provinces have organized and developed the greatest grain handing co-operation in the known world.- Their success has been phenomenal eclipsing anything of a like character ever attempted in connection with anv commodity. Thev can speak from actual experience iu definite / achievement. It is not surprising, therefore, that at tlie Kansas ..City.'conference tho reports presented on behalf of the Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba Pools,-mid their common central selling agency, were received with great enthusiasm, and that the views expressed and suggelions advanced by the Canadians commanded-respect-and gave, strength to the deliberations of the conference. Many of our own people have not yet grasped tlie full magnitude of the operations of the wheat pool, nor realize just 'how much lias been accomplished in the brief period of. approximately 1,000 days. Three* years ago there was no' Canadian Pool. Today, to quote A,-J. McPhail, president of the Saskatchewan pool and of the Central Selling pool, there is a membership of 138,000 in the three provinces. In; 1921-25 the Canadian pool ��� handled 187,000,000 bushels of wheat belonging to its' farmer members and 27,000,000 bushels of coarse grains. The pool has representatives in all wheat Importing countries and ships direct . to sixty European ports. -It owns and controls* approximately 050 country elevators in the three provinces with a combined storage capacity of approximately 22,000,000 bushels. At the head of the lakes the pool has six terminal elevators with a storage capacity.around "18,000,000 bushels.and also* a 2,000,000 transfer house at Buffalo. The pool is also operating terminal elevators at Prince Rupert and Vancouver, while* plans are under Avay for large extensions to the country elevator * systems in all the provinces. Since the pool, began to operate it has paid its' farmer members < around half a billion dollars. These aro truly remarkable achievements, but they do not tell the whole story. Thc pool has .practically revolutionized the financing methods of oui- Western farms: Instead of the farmer getting all his money in one bulk sum every Fall, at which time every creditor roade.'immediate demand "upon him, with thc result-that die,, was practically' forced"'to sell his' \vlies_i_. it the.-then, prevailing price, and by all following the same.course glutting the market, he now receives a first payment and several successive payments spread over tho year. The result is not only orderly-marketing of the wheat biit orderly financing on the part of the farmer. He is to an ��� ever increasing extent conducting his-business' on cash rather than a credit basis. The system has been of wonderfulassistance to the weaker, less business like farmers. Equally important* has*-been tlie effect the pool has -had in,vrestoring confidence to the farmer and to business interests generally throughout; the west. It has given the farmers a feeling of independence and security hitherto lacking. It has emphasized-the value of co-operation, and the strength that is to be found in organized co-operative effort as contrasted with each man striving ta work out his 'own problems and his own economic salvation. Thc farmers of Western Canada have demonstrated the wisdom bf having one great selling agency instead of one or two hundred thousand fanners each selling individuality and in competition with eacli other. The object ofthe Kansas City conference was to try and devise ways and means whereby the; great wheat producing countries of the world could co-operate instead of competingagainst each other. Thc most cordial reception was accorded the Huge Dairy Farm tl'argest Herd ..-of Dairy Cattle in_ North America to be Established Near Winnipeg There is now a herd of one thousand head of Holstein dairy cattle on-the Manitoba dairy farms at Marchand. on tho .Canadian National Railways southeast of Winnipeg. It is the intention of the company, wliich is colonizing a 90,000 aero tract of land with dairy farmers to increase this herd to 5,000 head, which will mako it the largest herd of dairy animals undBr one ownership ia North America. Joint Stiffness Goes, Swellings Disappear, Pain Is Subdued No Liniment Gives Such Universal Satisfaction As NERVILINE .

For Improved Highways Huge Sums Spent Last Year for This Purpose Duriug the year 1026 a total of $'15,563,000 was spent on construction and maintenance of all provincial highways in Canada, according to' computation made!by A. W. Campbell, Dominion Highway Commissioner. .Of .this,'.;,total -$2.9,808.000 was spent on construction and $15,9S7,- 000 on maintenance *.b'f..highways already constructed. The total mileage of roads involved in this aggregate expenditure was 46.S24.

For Friendly Relations Sir Esme Howard, British Amba^sa- . dor to U.S., Addresses San Francisco Audience A plea for continuation of friendly relations between the United States and England, which have existed Tor more than 100 years, was made by Sir Esme Howard, British funbassador to thc U.S., at a banquet tendered him by the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce. Referring lo the question of the British war debt to the United States, Sir Esme said: "Wc have not run away from tho debt and do not intend to, but if at some later date you come to us nnd say you think it would be advisable in tlie general interest to reconsider the question���well, 1 won't say that we shall refuse." "There is the attack that has been made in certain quarters against the British Government over tho question of cruisers," he continued. "It was agreed at the Washington conference that unless submarines of all powers wero abolished, Great Britain must reserve her full freodom of action as to cruiser construction. You liave already passed us in destroyers and submarines and no one in England had thought of accusing you of violating the letter or the spirit of the 0-5-3 ratio clause of the Washington Treaty." Sir Esme declared Great Britain had unjustly been accused of a sin- -isier dfisire to hold ihe "poor Chinese- in perpetual bondage, thus driving a wedge between England tuid this counlry." "Our whole aim in the past," he declared, "so far as I can see, has been to obtain the right of trading frcoly witli China." Asthma Doesn't Wear Off Alone.

Peking or Pekin Former Spelling is Closer to Chinese Version Than .Latter A new war lias been declared here ���but this time it is only an orthographic war, directed against the French spelling "Pekin" when referring to the Chinese capilal in American or English periodicals. Those interested in the matter point out to foreign correspondents that "Pekin" ln no wise represents the regular ��� pronunciation either in China or abroad, save in France. Chinese here say "Bay-clung," the two syllables meaning "north" and "capital" respectively, while tho spelling "Peking" is���though unsatisfactory���closer to the Chinese version than is any form in which "g" is omitted. There are several other foreign varieties, but the French is the only oue which occurs "generally~~in corn petition "with���the favored "Peking" form. Why Bald So Young?

Made Clocks Reliable Correct Time Not Recorded Until Discovery of Balance Wheel Before the invention and manufacture of watches and clocks, our forefathers employed several devices for. recording the hour of the day. The sundial is the earliest instrument of Its kind, and sandglasses were used from an early date. Alfred tho Great used graduated caudles, the burning of which marked thc passage of time. The art of clock and watch-making is believed to havo originated in Germany. ��� The early watches were mado in curious shapes, such as pears, skulls, purses and crosses. Some were set in the heads of canes, some in bracelets and other pieces of jewellery. These instruments had to be wound at least twice daily, and differed from the correct time by about an hour a day. It was not until the discovery of the balance-wheel in 1G5S, by which the mainspring unwinds itself evenly and regularly, lhat they could be relied upon to record thu correct time.

Says Mrs. Elliott of Dodd's Kidney Pills Alberta Lady Strongly- Recommends the Use of Dodd's Kidney Pills to all Sufferers. South Edmonton. . Alberta. (Special)���"I have used your Dodd's Kidney Pills for a few years and for kidney and backache trouble they have worked wonders. I have great faith in them. I have heard great praise about them from a number of people in our district." ' This statement comes from Mrs. Elliott, wlio resides at 9321 70th Ave. Thc relief that Mrs. Elliott found has*- come to thousands of other Canadian women through the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills. There aro only a few people who appreciate the great importance of keeping the kidneys in good order at all times. The kidneys are the purifiers of yotu: blood. If the kidneys become-clogged with impurities they cannot perform their functions prop- perly. The blo'od, instead _ of being purified, is poisoned, and' in "turn -poisons the whole system, with the result that a condition may develop very serious.

Guarding Canada's Wheat Reputation Canadian Product Must be Kept Strictly Up t0 High Standard The economic Importance of Can- ��� ada's wheat crop is so widely recognized that no further argument In that connection is necessary when .discussing the advisability of , -entrusting to the Minister of Agriculture the powers necessary to guard the reputation of this basic farm product. The , suitability oT -wheat varieties grown in Canada is not determined ^i altogether by their yield or adapta- L fl^M-tion to soil Jand climatic conditions. , Wheat for milling at home and [abroad must possess certain qualities before it is a factor-in world [trade; and it is our world doniinal- j Ing position, in wheat that our government must safeguard arid protect. ���"The milling value of wheat js, after all, the most important consideration, jits protein content must be high; its color must be right and its baking qualifies must be pleasing to the 1 trade. Our reputation has been built [largely on a standard that means 'Marquis," for '.that variety is now Ithe leading bread wheat on the [American continent-. If we allow inferior wheats to be |grown to any extent, and become blendod or mixed with Marquis, we shall simply lower the standard' of lour product and at tho same time the world-wide reputation of [Canadian wheat. That should not be permitted, all would -agree,- but, (the Minister at present cannot refuse to recognize "a new variety pro- [vided it is distinctly digercnt from [lhe established kinds, even though (it be definitely inferior. ' Thc agricultural committee, of the I House of Commons has recommend- led an amendment to Section G of the j Seeds Act, to. provide that a license Would Make Drivers Careful Might Planning An Aerial Train ��� German Engineers Working 0n Idea For Future- Means of Travel Aeronautical engineers in^.' Germany aro working on' plans of an air train as a possible means of travel in the future. The locomotive will be a powerful airplane and the pull-' mans a row of gliders coupled to the locomotive and to each other, as the cars of a train, only with considerably greater spacing between units. Passengers in each glider will be destined for some particular town, and as the - airdrome of each town'is approached the glider for that destination will be released from tho end of the string and settle gracefully down with its special pilot and passengers.' The Germans are often spoken of as a stolid and phlegmatic race," but no people without imagination could have conceived of tliat groat gun wliich bombarded Paris from a distance of unknown miles and which conceives of an aerial train. ' There may not be .much grace'about such things but surely the imaginative and the creative qualities are not lacking. Elimination .of Motor .Horn Mean Fewer Accidents "Do'horns on automobiles prevent accidents?" asks E.-.T. Strong, president and general .manager -of the Buick Motor Co. "I- believe that -in some instances they undoubtedly do. But I am also convinced .that the automobile horn'has given,, an overage driver a false sense of security which often breeds carelessness and results -in disaster, becauso of his too great dependence'on it. "Any doubt as to the truth of this statement' would be removed if automobile owners .would try to drive their cars without the aid o'f tho electric siren. It is my.opinion that they would find themselves driving with niore care fhan they had exercised since their first experience as automobile drivers. It has become instinctive for the driver to bring his hand down on the horn button and bluster ahead, with little heed for the effect which the sounding of the horn has had o*n the other fellow. Ancl the other -fellow is calloused to tho blare of the born in his ears. The noise has ceased to have any meaning for him. .J'Drive two blocks through traflic without the use of tho horn and you will iind that you "are using .more care than you have ever used before to avoid accidents. You will drive as you should always -drive, . with duo 'regard for others who are sharing-public streets and "highways-with, you. And you,. Will discover 1liaf,v even without using the -horn, will be driving with. greater regard, for the safety of yourself, pedesyians and other cars."

Tho fact that the soldier paid her hospital bill when she fell ill after the armistice mattered not. The soldier, Gustavo Marchand, was captured during the first few weeks of the war in 19J-,!. AVithout friends, he got in touch with a French girl by.the usual method ��� advertising���with the promise that some _ day he would reimburse his war godmother for whatever she might spend on���him.
