The bride was charmingly gowned in grey silk, crepe, embrolderd in oriental colors, with lace hat to match, and carried a beautiful bouquet of white bridal roses. She was'attended-by her sisters, Eveyln; becomingly attired in a. costume of mauve siik crepe with lace hat of the same shade, and Freda, daintly dressed in blue silk crepe with lace hat to match. Both bridesmaids carried .bouquets-of- oph el ia .roses. -' 'Mr. E. T. Weir supported the groom, the wedding march -being played by Miss Steede. Immediately after the ceremony, a tasty buffet luncheon, was served by Airs. A. limes, assisted by Miss Emma Trethewey and the Misses Anna and Mabel Nelson.

David Williams', Bishop of Huron, nearly seventy being present. A delicious luncheon was served by the ladies of St. Matthews' Church and short addresses were given by the Rural Dean, the Rev. H. R. Ttagg of Chilliwack, and Archdeacon Heathcote of Vancouver, in introducing the guests of the day, with-a rich Welsh accent that was really a delight to hear. Bishop Williams made a straight forward and thorough explanation of the missionary work of the Anglican Church, and strongly appealed for tho necessary recognition of the Christian religion if on.* present civil izul ion is to survive. Laymen wore present from Abbotsford, Bradner, Chilliwack, Mission, Langley, Sardis and Surrey. This weeks weather has been exceptionally fine. Real Indian Summer' weather. Threshing is well advanced.

Bvery Friday\nJ. A. HATES, Editor and Proprietor\nFRIDAY\", OCTOBER 5,\n1023\nThu fruil growers of tlie Fraser \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Valley\nshould organize, and start right\"now. so that\nthe anti-dumping law as pertaining Lo fruit\nshould be changed and come into effect belorc\nthe fruit season of 15)24. The present act is\nvery good, but (is too slow acting, ,and the\n' wrath of lhe law conies down on the agres-\nsors long after the offence is completed Jt\nis a case of locking the stable door after the\nhorse is stolen. Here is how it works: Strawberries are being dumped on to tlie Vancouver\nmarket sit a Lime that is detrimental to the\nhome grown product. Word is sent Lo Ottawa Lo Lhe inspector in charge of that department, -which Lakes at least four days. U\nLakes a day for him Lo decide what to do. It\nlakes another four days for some one to come\nfrom Ottawa Lo investigate. lie probably\nspends a week investigating; then goes back\nto Ottawa\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdanother four days. It Lakes him\nprobably a couple of days, to make out his\nreport in full as a thorough investigator wish-\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd ing Lo standin with his superior, and hand it\nin to Lhe Inspector, who takes at least a couple\nof days Lo consider what he best do. And another four days to send some one from Ottawa Lo enforce the Act. That takes a long\npiece out of the strawberry season. We are\nwondering if any complaint has been made,\nthis year in regard to the Anti-dumping Act\nnow in force, and- what the outcome was.\nLater we may publish the results of this investigation, or get some good politician to\nexplain from the public platform. An Act of\nthis kind to be effective should be speedy.\nTherefore we say organize to protect against\nanother importation next year of 250,000 lbs\nof strawberries into the Vancouver market\nduring the strawberry season.\nThere is such a good laugh about Americans\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand such a lesson for the people of that\ncountry to take to heart\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdin a recent issue of\nthe London Evening News that the temptation Lo print it can't be resisted.\n\"A Filmgoer,\" writing on \"America As 1\nKnow 'ft,\" gives his impressions of the Americans as follows:\n\"America is a large country entirely surrounded by sin and sentiment. It is inhabited in the East by unscrupulous but enormously successful business men, who devote\ntheir nights to squandering.in cabarets their\nill-gotten gains of the day before. In the\nWest 'bad men' rob stage coaches and banka\nand shoot sheriffs and , their partners in\ncrime and spend a good deal of their time rolling on Lhe ground in attempts to gouge each\nother's eyes out. The North is peopled by\nbearded scoundrels who go there to escape\nfrom the lav\/, Lo steal mining claims and to\nmenace lonely girls snowbound in log cabins.\nThe South is noted for cacti and half-breeds.\nThe last-named have no particular vice;\nthey are just bad.\n\"These conclusions are arrived at from\npersonal observation, not in America, but\nin the British cinemas. The films which\nhave taught me these things have American\ntrade-marks, so I suppose they must be true\npictures of life in the United States. They\nhave also taught me that there are a number\nof good people in the land who seem to make\nup in sentimentality what they lack in sinfulness.

A few days ago the Under\nSecretary for Foreign Affairs said, in reply to Mr.\nSpoor, that he hoped the Egyptian Government'would\napprove the Indemnity Act very soon.

Centre and GiiiimI*\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdImportant Position One of the most, important positions on the basketball team is that of centre and a few words regarding this position may not be amiss. The centre is tho pivot man, as a rule, of all team plays both defensive and offensive. For that reason he., must be accomplished in all the arts in regard to the forward and at the same time must possess the qualifications of a good guard. He is usually a tall man so that ho can secure the ball at the tip-off although some very good jumpers are to be found among men of shorter stature. In selecting a cenlro ability to get the jump along with the following qualifications must bo considered. lie must .be a live wire for ho has to cover all parts or tho floor. lie Is an offensive player when his team has tho ball and a defensive one when (ho opponents got If. Ho must constantly back-check and must bo able to stand the moat strenuous pace. He inusl. bo quick on his feci, mid must, use his wits at all times. Shouhlor control must bo acquired by the centre so that If is possible to' roach tho full height with one arm without moving tbe other. Swing ing Indian clubs and dumbbolls will help to develop the shoulder .muscles and to make them nupplo and strong. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdThe abdominal muscles should also bo wull developed in the centre because ho must remain In his half of tho circle when jumping for tin, ball and not commit a foul by touc- ing tho olhor man. The leg muscles of course must be in excellent condition and must respond Immediately to tho necessity for tho jump.' Stooping with hands on the hips and raising tho bondod knee are good developing exercises for the leg muscles. Perhaps the most important feature of the centre's game is good passing. He should bo able to shoot well, to guard well and above all to pass well. He will bo required to foed..the forwards and his passes to them must be-made with great accuracy. Being the pivot man he is likely to. receive more passes than any.other man and he must therefore handle the ball with neatness and despatch and must lose no time in getting the ball to the forwards. Just a word about back-checking. You have often seen a game lost because .one or .other members of the team did not back-check. It is a great error for the centre to fail in this for his opponent will probably make .the third and free man of the opponents offense. Should a guard be drawn out to check him, ^a forward is left unguarded. The position of guard V. calls for specialization in one or two qualities which the forwards need not possess to the same degree. A sense of perception and cunning in solving the. offensive play of the opponents and the ability to move quickly enough to break up.these formations are these necessities. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd The guard first of all . must be very keen in sensing tlie direction ia which the play is going to move. In advancing to check his man it' is often possible that the ball will be passed in any of three directions' and it is necessary for the guard to start in that\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd direction before the pass has been started, if he is to block or intercept successfully. It is that quality of being able to sense the trend of the play and to time one's interference that makes a first-class guard. Passing out to the forwards and backing up offensive movements of the team are two important features of the guard's play. A running .and a stationary guard are usually posted for the latter purpose, the faster and better the shot of the two being placed as the running guard. It is his duty to go up the floor with the offensive and to assist by going in for passes when tho other men are checked. He must be fast enough to get back to his position, once the ball is out of the possession of his side. r \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Opening of the Hunting Season ->$M. -lunters just as happy coming back as going oven if farmer does lay law down.

Tho first of the new < pulmans left Montreal last Saturday and every day thereafter one of the all-steel model-sleeping car has been attached to the \"Continental Limited.\" AH who have travelled In or inspected the new car declare it to be the last word in sleeping car architecture and construction. These cars having been built for ' transcontinental service, particular attention has been paid to the comfort and convenience of the traveller who lias \"to spend several days on board train. The length of the car has been increased by about two feet, giving it a length of ,81 feet over all. This extra space has been added to the ladies' dressing room, which is the acme of perfection. The dressing room contains three separate wash basins. In front of each there is a wing mirror, both..wings being movable so that the traveller can adjust them to any desired angle. Above each mirror is a separately controlled electric Hv'n> -d at th\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd side a sanitary towel case, the top of which has been designed 10 hold toilet articles'. By placing, the door leading to this room at a different angle and by making use of a semi-circular curtain, .the utmost privacy has been secured for the occupants. Boudoir chair3 permit the ladies to sit in comfort while making their toilet. Sleeping arrangements nave been considerably Improved by the adoption of a separate set of curtains for the upper and lower berths. This provides absolute privacy for the occupants of each berth and a device, which permits the fastening of curtain of the upper berth around a. bar makes it impossible fo.- children or any occupant to fall out. Particular attention has been paid to the ventilating system. In addition to the automatic, ventilators on the top of the car, there ia an elecr'. Korc- moos lugs move slowly at' !)0(f.

Calgary took on the appearance of frontier days with hitching posts along the main streets and the old cow-town ponies stood in front of the sky- Bcrapers of the modern city. In the great parade in which several thousand participated, Mayor George Webster struck the keynote in his wonderful leather chapps, blue silk shirt, pink handkerchief and huge Stetson hat. The stimulating contrast of the new and the old was evident in the roar of the big airplanes overhead while the pioneers' and old-timers section of the parade, venerable Red-river carts, original Hudson's Bay vehicles, squeaked their way over the pavement that covers the virgin sod they travelled many years ago. They were driven by the men of 1860, 1870 and 1880 and drawn, in many instances, by venerable nags that looked as if they, too, had survived the days of the rutted prairie trails to walk through a city that was but a dream when their work began. There was the real old-time prairie schooner, complete with trailer. The stove in the ancient wagon was going full blast and all the housekeeping requirements were there.

A FARMER'S ACCOUNT ROOK Any merchant handling several different lines of goods would regard it as lolly to neglect to keep a complete set of books enabling him at all times to ascertain his profits and losses on the various commodities ho sells, his assets and liabilities, and so on. A manufacturer who failed Lo do so would be heading for insolvency. It is curious, then, thai- Canada's basic industry\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdagriculture\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdshould be carried on, so far as individual producers are concerned with it, in so casual a manner with regard to account-keeping. Especially is this strange when it is considered how simple farm book keeping is by comparison with that of other businesses. In a survey of some eight hundred farms conducted some time ago it was discovered that very few farmers indeed followed anything like a complete method of accounting, while a large number adopted absolutely 'none at all. These, beyond having a sort of general idea as to \"what, paid,\" were often quite hazy as to actual returns from different lines of work. In order, ir possible, to remedy this undesirable state of affairs tho Dominion Experimental Farms system has published an extremely simple farmer's account book, which will adequately serve all necessary purposes. Tn size and thickness it is no larger than a school exercise books', and is designed to last a complete year. To \"keep\" it requires no knowledge of ordinary accounting; simply the ability to write and add; and a record of all transactions might bo made in an hour a weok. A few plain directions as to making entries, some aids to taking inventories, a table of silo capacities and a gestation table, are given on the insides of tho cover, while on tho back are printed calendars for last, this and next year. In the book itself are pages for the entry of receipts and expenditures (both of which may be seen at a glance on the same page) rela-. tive to cattle, horses, sheep, swine, poultry, crops and labour; and there is also ample space for miscellaneous items. There is a page for amounts owed to and by the farm, and forms on which may be made inventories of land and buildings, of live stock, of feed and supplies, and of machinery. Following is a page on which may be filled out a summary of the year's business, togeth er with the few directions necessary to filling it out intelligently at the end of the year. Further, for thc- farmer's information there is a table in which to enter acreage and yield of crops', and one in which to keep a live stock service record. The whole thing has been reduced to the simplest possible terms, anr* should prove, to the general farmer one of the most useful publications issued from the Experimental Farm? for1 some time. It should be recognized that farming is a business, th\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd- same as any other. If a business is not paying, the owner of it want to know just why it is not doing so This little book will enable the farmer to keep an accurate record of each department of his business, find out how much he is making from each, or how little, and so be able to adjust matters accordingly \"The Farmer's Account Book\" is attainable from the Publications Branch of the Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, at a nominal charge of ten cents. No postage need be placed on letters of application. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdExperimental Farms Note. i3riii.,\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd?\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd M&M\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdmf&","@language":"en"}],"Genre":[{"@value":"Newspapers","@language":"en"}],"GeographicLocation":[{"@value":"Abbotsford (B.C.)","@language":"en"}],"Identifier":[{"@value":"Abbotsford_Post_1923_10_05","@language":"en"}],"IsShownAt":[{"@value":"10.14288\/1.0168978","@language":"en"}],"Language":[{"@value":"English","@language":"en"}],"Latitude":[{"@value":"49.052222","@language":"en"}],"Longitude":[{"@value":"-122.329167","@language":"en"}],"Notes":[{"@value":"Print Run: 1910-1924
