The  showing of Oreston pupils is not equal  to that of 1916, though this is not altogether surprising, particularly a-  niong the Entrance candidates, seeing  that this was their first try at it,  while last year most of them were  writing for the second time. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd  In the High School Miss Zalla John,  son is the only one of s class of three  writinrg on the Advanced Course,  junior grade, to graduate, with a  standing of 503.

In the course of a short talk Mr.  Johnson briefly sketched agricultural  conditions in the sections he had visited. In Ontario he had found the  farmers so intent on making money  in livestock, dairying, aud other lines  that the orchards were sadly neglected, generally speaking, wherever he  went, and therefore the crop in that  part of the Dominion -would be even  lighter than a year ago. At at!  prairie points he- had called he had  found the utmost optimism und  splendid prospects for another good  grain crop this, year Consequently  the; retail n*rerchaQtsw!*ei'ei6dking. forward to_ a good year ts business with a  good demand: for all classes of fruit.  Mr. Johnson had also visited parts of  Washington and the information a-  vailable was to the effect that as the  U.S. apple orop as a whole was lighter  than in 1915 the northwestern states  would not be exporting in such large  quantities into Canada, particularly  in the. face of tbe added duty of at  least 10 cents net per box. In view of  all these circumstances Mr, Johnson  was quite confident the B.C. growers  had a reasonably favorable year ahead  of them.  Mr.   Johnson    regretted    the   prevalence of scab in  the  Valley,    However, it was a   very common nuisance  this year at   practically all provincial  points, and Creston was  no  better or  no   worse in   this regard than most  other places.    He was a practical convert to the efficacy of spraying and  urged   the strictest attention  to this  detail  of  orchard   work.    Sooner or  later he hoped to be able  to simplify  the    spraying    proposition.    Experiments   were    being eondnoted   on   a  dusting process that he thought would  .shortly do away with Ihe spray pump,  though af present the system was not  thoroughly enough  demonstrated  to  pronounce it o k.    A   solution  of sulphur,  arsenate of lead and   gypsum  was sprinkled on  tho trees  with  tho  aid of the wind.    A man  and boy and  ono horse, with the necessary equipment could handle 40 acres a day, and  the cost of the new process was little,  if any hightcr. than the present liquid  spray.  A. H. Flack, Winnipeg, the  prairie  market inspector, also   spoke   briefly,  lie went into the marketing   of Creston   strawberries   at  Winnipeg   this  season to some extent,  corroborating  tho previous opinion that tho fruit had  arrived in good  idinpe  and  had  been  favorably commented upon   by both  consumers and retailers  at the Manitoba capital.    However, Mr. Flack did  not look for 1 be ,-i-.[ \\nit.t  Id be quite a.*,  favorable as tho reception of tho berries  might indicate, for tho reason that the  fruit camo in at the last of tho season  when practically till householders had  their berry supply all  preserved and  consequently tho demand   was   light,  much of the  stock  having to  be disposed   of   on   a   none   too   favorable  marlcot.

But he did not go far along the  paFiVige. Retracting his footsteps  to (lie garden-door he opened it., and  had the annoyance of seeing a group  of hoys and men from the stables  and of girls from the kitchen flee like  hares from the spot where they were  all collected at the entrance *bf the  path through the wood.  The knowledge that the whole household was now discussing an affair  about Avhich he appeared to be. the  only person left in ignorance sufficed  to exasperate the baronet still further,  and it wus in a mood of the strongest  resentment as well as perplexity that  he began to make a deliberate exam illation of the doorstep and the  path beyond.  This corner of the grounds, close  to the house as it was, enjoyed a large  amount of seclusion. Tall shrubs.shut  it in on the sea side, a high wall separated it from the courtyard: there  were no overlooking windows on Hie  ground floor, while the rooms above  were all unoccupied.  Now- that the curious group from  1he servants' quarters had fled, Sir  I'cnywern therefore felt that lie could  make his invesiigaiions in privacy.

The German command undertook the  a  place  on ' I*\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd111 o of Verdun  because it could not  on  the  fed-! contemplate   a   larger   operation,   and  it  is now   so  deeply  involved  that it.  cannot draw out.    The allies, on the  other hand, are so bent upon a vastly  larger operation, which they hope will  he  decisive, that they  prefer to  risk  local   and   momentary     losses   rather  than postpone the day when they will  be fully  ready  to deliver in common  their knockout blow.    It would, therefore, be unfair to General .Joffre and  the General's officers and men directly  concerned to regard the struggle north  of  Verdun as a fair trial of strength.  Vast,   as   are   its   proportions  and   the-  sacrifices involved, it is over-shadowed  by    a    coming    event     incomparably  greater.    Kneniy  strategy, whether on  the Meuse or the Adige, is to destroy  this menace.    It is at once the weakness   and   strength   of  the   allies  that  while putting forth at these points just  a sufficient defensive effort they must  never compromise the supremely im  portant work of preparation.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdLondon  Chronicle.  Oats of Barbed Steel  German Slim Trick to Kill the British  Horses  Barbed oats are the instruments of  offence invented by Germans. The  War Office has had to issue to responsible officers in charge of cavalry and  other mounted forces an order that  every bushel of oats now must be examined carefully before it is used. It  has been discovered that some of the  sacks of oats purchased in the United  States contained little pieces of steel,  shaped like oats, and painted yellow.  These are barbed, and a horse that  swallowed one would have little  chance of life. The placing of the  barbed oats in the food is considered to be the work of Germans who  have -ehtained employment in American granaries in order to kill the  horses at 3,000 miles range.

Out of a population of 28,000, close  on 4,500 are with the colors. In many  villages not a man fit for military service is left.

If you  pitch your tent under the thick trees,  there will always be an unhealthy  dampness, and mosquitoes will flock  in. Then, too, in thunder-storms there  is less danger in the open than under  trees. The all-important reason, however, for pitching your tent in the  open is the matter of health.

That, as she well knows, was  the invincible obstacle to universal  over-lordship against which Napoleon,  who \"was lier oppressor, and is her  model,\" dashed himself in vain. Were  it removed from her. path by the  \"reforms\" she advocates in international law, she would be free to pursue her ideal well-nigh unchecked.  We know what thai ideal is. Wc  have learnt it from her speakers and  writers, but most from her actions.  Tt is a German domination in all  branches of human activity, founded  upon the brute force of a vast army  which is moved by an autocratic  government. Does any man fancy  that, if Germany had the power upon  the water that she has in Belgium  or in Poland, she would not use it  with the same unscrupulous ruthless-  ness? Would there be fewer Lusitau  ias and fewer Sussexes when she was  strong than when she is weak?  She would b'ind herself, no doubt,  by solemn treaties, but she would  keep them as she kept the solemn  treaties that pledged her to defend  Belgian, neutrality and the laws that  forbid her to sink merchantmen at  sight. That consideration alone must  constrain maritime nations, like  England and America, to retain their  fleets. Did they foolishly reduce their  navies Germany might at any moment  tear up the new treaties consecrating  the \"freedom of the seas\" .and destroy  their trade-, on that plea of military  necessity' whieh justifies all lawlessness and all wickedness in her eyes.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd  London  Time's  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdlargest Sale of Any Medieine in tbo World.

Canada's Supply of Nickel  Rich   Deposits   in   Cobalt   District   of  Great Value to tha  Empire  in Time of War  When the supply of nickel has become one of tiie foremost needs of the  Empire it is well to recapitulate the  resources that Canada holds of the  coveted metal.  The total production of matte at  Sudbury, Ont?, in 1915 was 67,703 tons,  containing 39,216,165 pounds of copper  and 68,077,823 pounds of nickel, and  valued by the producers at \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd2,070,000.  The tonnage of ore smelted (part being previously roasted) was 1,272,283.  The production in 1914 was 4G,396 tons  of matte, containing 28,896,825 pounds  of copper and 45,517,937 pounds of  nickel, and valued at \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd1,433,000.  The reported recovery of nickel  from the ores of the Cobalt district  was 55,325 pounds of metals, and  200,032 pounds of nickel oxide.    The  a.zeppe  What a French Officer Saw in  Burning Wreckage  Among the interesting statements  gathered at Kevigny by the correspondent of the \"Petit Parisien\" regarding  the end of the Zeppelin brought down  in flames by the French is that of an  inhabitant of the region whose evidence suggests that there was a woman on. board the airship.  \".I was scarcely more than twenty  yards away among the people crowded  round the burning mass of the monster sky-raider\/' he said, \"when I saw  a French officer, whom I knew, scrutinizing through hi3 fieidglass a particular heap of burning wreckage, the  flames of which lit up the night.  \"He handed me the glasses, exclaiming, 'Look, there is no mistake,  about ity.-a woman was with thorn.'  True enough, I could plainly see  through the glasses two slender feet  shot with high-topped, high-heeled  fashionable boots. They were undoubtedly the feet of~a woman.\"  NO MEDICINE AS GOOD  FOR LITTLE ONES  SAsffiKai  weakness difficult to   recovery  in   1914  was  S02\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdi2  pounds  remedy.

One paper went as far  as to head an article against the  crime, 'Oh for an hour of Bismarck I\"  of nickel oxide. About 60 per cent  of the Canadian nickel production is  exported to the United States, and a  far larger quantity of nickel finds its  way to the United Kingdom through  United States refineries than is exported directly from Canada.  The Canadian Government have  an agreement from the U. S. smelters  under which there is a practical cer-  taint\\r that none of our nickel goes to  the enemy.

We  cannot yet be sure of the exact reason, or balance of reasons, for the  German choice. There were certainly  dynastic and economic, as well as  military seasons. The many failures  of the German Crown Prince had to  be redeemed, and the idea that a  striking victory here would confirm  and extend Germany's hold upon the  mineral basin of Lorraine, whieh is  essential to her iron and steel manufacturers, was x>rODably not foreign  to the decision. Among military reasons, probably the strongest was that  France could be given a knock-out  blow, whereas another thrust into  Russia would not be decisive, even  if successful, and any success upon  the British front in France was highly  problematical.\"\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdG.

The number of centres at  which a sufficiently large gathering can be bad to make a public  meeting worth while is not sufficient  to really make it nei-essary for more  than a   month   of   platform  work.

One of them was accused of  knowing it all and not allowing the  rancher to know the rest\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdnor any  part of it. The latter also assured  us that he had mastered about  everything worth while in his line,  though he seems to have fallen  down badly in passing along most  of his store of knowledge\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdmore  especially that having to do with  gasoline engines on power sprayers,  to say nothing of some personal  weaknesses that are infra dig of  government officials.  We judge from the fact that seeing the department has seen fit to  place these gentlemen here permanently that the Creston Valley  is looked upon as a coming horticultural section at any rate. By now  it must also be apparent to those  higher up that thiH part is also  making headway as a dairying and  poultry centre, and also with some  classes of livestocks, all of whioh  latter    should     have     the     same  somewhere near correct, though the  enquirer is no wiser after parting  eonipany with the last than he was  when he quitted the first.  We have not the space to enumerate the many departments of  agricultural activity in which an  experimental farm can be of the  greatest value to both the beginner  as well as the more experienced,  and in a province where special  enort is oeing maue u) a-uuraeu iuen  to the land this auxiliary source of  ffrst-hand practical information is  a real necessity in this progressive  era.  While in its infancy the farm will  be possibly a bit of a luxury, it  should very shortly become self-  supporting, and even from the start  given a splendid educational, if no  monetary return.  Individually and collectively such  a farm will be a   mighty big  asset  to the Valley.  The Kootenay coun-  ry   requires it, and Creston is the  ideal location\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdgeographically and  from every other angle.

Remembering the bad luck we  havo had, \"bugologically\" speaking, heaven deliver the Valley from  having thrust up.in it a double dose  of this sort, in the shape of a mixed  farming advisor along with another  horticulturist.  What really should bo inaugurated here in tho stead of so much  transient and travelling wisdom,  is an experimental farm. Creston  has tho ideal situation in the middle  of the Kootenays. and is the only  centre in that territory where ox-  porimei'ta! work in both fruit  growing ami mixed farming as wo  have it in tho interior can bo carried  on to the best, advantage of all  concerned.

Hardly a day passes that there is  not a trench \"raid\" by one side or the  other, and sometimes several such  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdsallies. No subject is more tabooed  in its details by the censor. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Commanders do not want to let the- ene-  iny knoAv why their raids succeed or  fail or why the enemy's succeed or  fail. Invention fights invention;  secrecy fights secrecy.  All     +.I10    oliarnont^    nf    \"bo-v-iD\"    wrpot-  ling, fencing and mob tactics, plus the  stealth of the Indian who crept up on  a camp on the plains and the teamwork of^-a\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdprofessional baseball nine,  are valuable to the gnayer.  The weapon that is least needed is  a rifle. A club or a sandbag or an  Indian battle axe or spiked club is  better. A good slugger without any  weapon at all may take an adversary's loaded rifle away from him and  knock him down and then kick him  to death.  The monotony of trench existence  these days is broken by preparing for  raids and against them. Battalion  commanders work out schemes of  strategy which would have won them  fame in smaller, wars. Fifty men or a  thousand may be engaged in a~ raid.  It may be on a front of fifty yards or  a thousand. Its object is to take as  many prisoners and kill and wound  as many of the enemy as possible in a  few minutes; and then to get back to  their own trench. The assaulters try  to hold on to the piece of trench they  have taken, the guns are turned on  them. the. bombers close up on either  side, and machine guns and rifles  are prepared to sweep .the zone of  retirement.  An uncanny curiosity gives the soldiers incentive for the raids. Ordinarily they never see their enemy hid-  '; den in his burrows across \"No Man's  Land\" from their own burrows. Unseen bullets from unseen snipers  crack overhead. Unseen guns suddenly, concentrate iu a deluge of  shells. For months this sort of  thing goes on and the trenches of the  adversaries remain always in the  name place; the grim monotony of  casualties %and watching continues.  This arouses the desire to '\"get, at\"  the. enemy which the trench raid satisfies. It moans springing over the  parapet and rushing across \"No Man's  Land\" into the v<r-ry houses of the  enemy and man to man on his door  btep proving which is a belter-fighter.  To go over the parapet ordinarily  means death. In 'order to make any  snch rush there must be \"interference.\" as they say in football, and  the barb wire in front of the enemy's  trench must be cut. This is usually  done by the guus, which become moro  nnd more deadly in their ability to  turn accurate sprays of destruction  on given points. ' Thoy cover the  rush and tliey cover the return of the  raiders with their prisoners.  But the guns are not all; there are  nil kinds of organized trickery in order to enable a body of soldiers to get.  into the enemy's trenches .for a few  minutes of activity, when the occupants throw themselves on thoir invaders at such close quarters thnt it  is a question if even a revolver is now  a practical weapon. It cannot, he  thrown over a traverse rind 11 bomb  enn. Running into a German aflhnnd  the corner of a traverse, a blow may  bo belter than n shot,  JJ'here have been trench raids where  r-v.-ry maii who went out was responsible for a casualty or prisoner, while  tho millers' own loss might not have  boon one in Ion to the enemy's. There  nre also failures. Success requires  tlmt every detail should work out  rigid. The British inuugunilrd I ranch  voiding, whieh 'lie Cc'rninus promptly  adopted.

Asquith Points  Way to Victory  if  JID17 flETPAT  inrrttiicirtolt  Close   Co-operation   and  Vast  Resources of Allies  Bound  to Triumph  In observance of the thirtieth anniversary of his election to the House  of Commons from East Fife, Premier  Asquith visited his constituency for  the first time since the outbreak of  the war, addressing a great meeting  of bis sunnorters and many who in  past years, had been his opponents.  The Premier made a touching reference to the death of Field Marshal  Earl Kitchener as \"leaving a place in  j our constitutional life that none else  can fill, and a memory that will live  as long as the British Empire.\" Lord  Kitchener had bequeathed to the country an array of armies, said the  Premier, and it was for the country  to make the best use of these.  In a survey of the situation, Premier Asquith declared that the Russian advance was one of the most  brilliant feats of the war.  The Italians, Mr. Asquith said, were  making resistance to Hie Austrian onslaught which every day was becoming more effective. As for the French,  nothing could exceed the valor with  which they were maintaining the defence of Verdun. Co-operation among  the General Staffs of the allies was  becoming more intimate and complete  every month. British assistance had  been offered to Gen. Joffre, and the  steps \" whieh would be taken were  those dictated by sound strategy..  \"'Th<s war is not merely a struggle  of armies.\" the Premier continued.  \"It is a stiuggle of material and eco-  nOiiuu    i.i-hA I'tCCi,   emu.   iucbB   vv m   piu\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdd  in  the   Ioiit  run  to   be   the   deciding  JUI.IUJC),  After sneaking ol the effectiveness  of the navy's blockade Mr. Asquith  said:  \"Owing* to the rashness,of the enemy we were allowed to see another  and more stirring, dramatic aspect of  the navy's qualities. The naval action of May 31 was worthy of the best  and most treasured traditions of the  British navy. The Germans were  driven baek into their ports without  so much as making an effort to grapple with the main body of our Grand  Fleet, and had the temerity to claim  what really was a rout as a complete  victory. A couple more such victories  and there will be nothing left of the  German navy worth speaking .about.  The truth is slowly leaking out, and  its full extent is not yet realized or  appreciated. Our command of the  seas, so far from being impaired, has |  been more firmly and unshakably es- j  jjuuuniiou.  Iii reference to Ireland, Mr. Asquith  said the recent rioting, lorvjing to the  loss of many innocent lives, had created a situation which seemed to a majority of responsible Irishmen of all  parties to call for a settlement. The  history of the r.-lations between Great  Britain and Ireland exhibited a tragic |  series of missed \" or misused opportunities. *  \"Don't let us add another to their  number,\" snid the Premier.  \"What ho desired, he explained, was  a provisional settlement, for when the  war enme to an end the counlry would  have to take stock of its internal relations, the fabric of the Empire would  have, to be refashioned, and relations  between Groat Britain and Ireland  and the Dominions would of necessity  be brought into close and connected  review.  Unlike Germans, Respected Red Cross  on Lady  Paget's Hospital  There was a large party at King's  Cross to welcome Laoy Paget and fifty-  four other members of the Serbian  Relief Fund Hospital staff at Uskub  on their return to London. A well  known member of Lady Paget's party  said: \"We have travelled back to England via Roumania, Russia, Sweden  and Norway. On October 22 the Bulgarians entered Uskub. Their advance  was so rapid that there was no possibility of getting the patients safely out of the hospital. Lady Paget  pluckily decided to stay behind to  look after them. The line of battle  went right through the hospital buildings, but the Bulgarians respected the  Red Cross flag.  \"There were 800 patients, about half  of them being Serbs, and the other  half Bulgars. The Bulgarians, I believe,   did   what  they  could  to   help.  Tliey told us tliey were anxious to  stand well in English eyes.

The Germans must see with their eyes  that they cannot hold the lines (in  the enemy's country, remember) which  they have prepared.

There is one man whose name  stands out amid the conflict of the  European war for what lie has done  to save life. While other destroy, he  preserves.  And this man is Chevalier Marconi,  who invented and perfected the wonderful \"wuvless\" telegraphy. To him  belongs the credit of saving life all  over the -world, since to his great invention thousands of people owe thoir  rescue from   maritime  disaster.  Tho history of wireless telegraphy  is still short. As recently ns .1800 messages were first, sent from F.nglnnd to  France, while in .1002 the \"waves\" ho  had mastered, carried greetings between Canada, and  England.  The first case on record of \"wireless\" being employed by a ship in di.s-  Iros occurred on March .*!. 1800. On  this date tho .11. !*\\ Mat thews ran  into the East Goodwin lightship during a heavy fog. The weather conditions would, in the old days, have  rendered the work of rescue very  difficult, if not impossible. But ihe  li. V.

And from half past six at  night tho Baltic scoured the surface  of the ocon on ils errand of mercy.  AU through the long hours Binns sat  at his instrument sending out, messages and directions to the ship coming to the aid of the Republic.  And then, at night, after a dny of  \/.ig\/.aggiug two hundred miles on the  ocean, the Republic sent the welcome  word to the Baltic that they were  close together. The lookouts on the  ships could see nothing, but, the wireless operators know. And so llu* passengers of the Republic, were saved by  moans of wireless telegraphy.  This splendid ropeuo brought the  use. of wireless for saving life well  before the world. Shipowners at onco  began to see the necessity of having  their vessels fitted with it. Marconi  had fully proved his right to the honor  of saving life.  The following year, after the saving  of the Republic, wireless telegraphy  was put to still another uso. In the  autumn of that year an American inventor named Wellman set, out in his  dirigible balloon, patriotically called  America, to cross the Atlantic. Tn  theory the idea was good; in practice  it, went wrong. Presently \\Vellnmn and  his band of devoted In lpers found  themselves drifting aimlessly about  over tho wide Atlantic, with nnjiuront-  ly little hope of rescue.

On board were 2,201 passengers and  crew, while the vessel itself had cost  well over one million pounds to build.  Yet in a moment she become a helpless wreck.  The wircloss operator sent his call  for help broadcast  into the  air,  and  it   was   answered   by   the   Carpathia,  which  vessel   steamed   as  quickly  as  possible to the rescue.   But before she  hud reached the scene of the disaster  1 ho Titanic had sunk. Out of the 2,000  i odd   human    beings 712 were    saved  from the lifeboats of the ill-fated vessel.    And  it is quite accurate to say  that,  hut for the wireless call. most,  if not all of these must have perished  from exposure.  But it is not possible to mention  even all the moat remarkable rescues  effected by wireless. Tliere was the  Vnlturno, which caught fire 1,000  miles west of the Irish coast, and in  answer to the wireless appeal no less  than eleven ships went to the rescue,  saving altogether 521 lives.
