Enderby Lod^c No. 40  Regular meetings first  Thursday on or after the  full moon nt 8 r>. ~. in Mb-  sonic     Hall. Visiting  brethren cordially  invited  Mr. J. W. Jones, member of the Provincial Parliament for South Okanagan, last week took up  the question of land settlement proposed by the  Provincial Government and the placing of returned soldiers on land recently purchased by the  Government. In his remarks in the House oMr.  Jones criticised the Government for having purchased the Southern Okanagan land for the soldiers, some 2,200 acres for the sum of $350,000.  He told the House that in the Okanagan and  Similkameen Valleys alone Indian reservations  amounted to 147,000 acres, much of this land being of the finest quality and in the possession of  only 872 Indians, few of whom made any real use  of it. The governments, he thought, should take  immediate steps to obtain possession of the reserves at Enderby, Vernon, Kelowna, Westbank  and Penticton, preparing them for colonization  by soldiers and otherwise. He instanced a case  of where soldiers at Kelowna were prepared to  go ahead in a co-operative movenient for the  farming of a small reserve tract at Duck Lake,  but until Ottawa and Victoria had reached a decision on a basis for action nothing could be done.  In the meantime the development and progress  of the whole district was held back. Several of  these reserves if taken over at once could be used  this spring by soldiers, including one at Kelowna  and those at Vernon and Enderby.  In the opinion of the speaker the problem of  giving immediate attention to the farm needs of  the returned men could be well met in this way.  The handling of Indian reserves would be much  better, he thought, than opening up land in far  away sections or in embarking upon very expensive projects which would not permit the returned  men to get on the land for another year.  Hc pointed out that this would bc a big project  and would not help the soldiers for a year or two.  The King's speech had indicated that large areas  of land owned by the Crown had been surveyed  and reserved for soldier settlement in the north  while the Southern Okanagan purchase had also  been  made.    With  ten   thousand  men  already  home from the war and a general desire, on the  part of the public to sec as many veterans on the  land as possible, this program as mentioned in  thc address could bc accepted as indicating thc  Government's  attitude  to  returned  soldiers,  he  went on.   But what did it reveal?   What actuallv  were the big plans of Victoria for the re-establishment of the men who went \"over the top\"? What  was theland policjr?   The Minister of Lands had  announced that he set aside \"soldier rural home-  sites\" at Agamemnon Bay and Poirpoise Bay as  well as Stuart River but thc soldiers took quite,a  different view of their value for men who had  received $33 a month for the past four years had  no money for rural homesites although a minister getting $500 a month might afford that luxury.  Mr. Jonse called Mr. Pattullo a great advertiser.  Onc year ago hc had promised $500,000 for the  settlement of the irrigation question through  amendments to the Water Act. At.the Nelson  convention he had becn forced, however, to the  admission that the. amendments made the bill  virtually unworkable and now he was urging the  people in thc water districts to protect their future by forming districts under tlie old Dyking  and Drainage Act, the present Watcr Act being  loo cumbersome and intricate.  \"Is the land purchase of the Southern Okanagan lands a bluff or a huge gamble?\" he enquired.   \"The deal has some advantages of course  into his confidence but he is continuing his old  course of endeavoring to rush matters affecting  his department through without time for debate.  The minister has not yet given any detailed statement respecting the purchase of this large tract  of land, as to tlie price paid, the acreage, whether  cash was given or R. C. bonds. y  \"We must not throw up our hats and shout  'hurrah' because the minister has bought a piece  of land that lay idle for generations. The minister has not explained to the House why the  Southern Okanagan Land Company with its  strong financial connection did not proceed with  dulge in rosy pictures of the future we should  have definite data on the amount of land that  will bc irrigated by gravity and by pumping, what  acreage is range land and exactly what all thc  remainder is suitable for and what the cost of  getting it ready will be. Then again thc House  should know how many units of this land will be  put on the market this year, or if not this year,  when. How long will it take to construct the irrigation system to the first unit, and what is the  character of the soil?  SHORT OF TONNAGE  S. II. SPKICHS  W.M.

But the price seems high and the eventual cost  will be great. Then thcrc is this drawback, that  it will bc impossible to place men on the property  for another year or two. I would like to know  why the Government did not confiscate the land  as it did in the case of the lands in thc northern  part of lhe province and as would appear lo be its  general policy. Why was it lhat thc Minister of  Lands attended to thc matter and thc Land Settlement Boai-d was left out? And did the Government send enginecers and survyors over the tract  lo make a report? Now I sec that Victoria having  made the deal wants Ottawa to lake thc project  over. To my mind lhc department has missed  the essential need of lhc day and lhat is to start  on a land project lhal would mean the minimum  of expense and which would allow thc soldiers to  start plowing this spring.  \"Realizing lhe large contract lhc Government  is entering inlo in this mailer, with thc investment  of probably Iwo millions in thc undertaking and  realizing lhat anolhcr government will probably  bave the handling of these various land proper-  lies, there are certain things in connection with  lhc Southern Okanagan transaction that I want  to know, lhal lhc returned soldiers want to know,  and lhal Ibc public at large would like information on. Onc would bave thought that the minister would havc taken lhc members of the House  According to information received by Premier  Oliver from credible sources, unless the lumbermen can get new orders within three weeks most  of the British Columbia mills will have to close  down as they can not get tonnage for possible  British business. Tlie Premier on Tuesday sent  the following message to Sir Thomas White, the  minister of finance:  \"I am today informed that British Columbia  sawmills have practically no orders for lumber,  and that unless orders can bc secured nearly all  mills will be closed down inside of three weeks.  If this is done thc result wall be very disastrous.  Our men have been in negotiation with the British  lumber controller for the supply of one hundred  million feet of railway sleepers and other timber,  and untl very recently wc had full confidence of  obtaining0this order. A short time ago we were  advised that all difficulties had bcen cleared away  with the exception of securing tonnage for this  timber. I am advised that Australia had great  difficulty in securing tonnage for moving her accumulation of wheat, but that persistent effort on  the part of Australia succeeded in obtaining the  necessary tonnage. We believe that if your government will insist strongly you can obtain the  necessary tonnage to carry this timber.  \"From information which f have received 1  am led to believe that the British timber controller is calling for tenders from American brokers  on the Pacific Coast. Should these brokers succeed in obtaining this order we shall feel that this  result will have been caused by lack of persistent  effort on the .part of your government to secure  the necessary tonnage. We have a very difficult  situation facing us here, and we feel that it would  be an abominable shame if, tlirough lack of effort  on the part of your government, Rritish Columbia fails to secure this business.\"  LEAGUE Of NATION CQWJtQMJSp  Dr. E. J. Dillon, in a cable to the Vancouver  Province, gives the following inkling of what the  Peace Conference is doing: \"By tomorrow it is  expected the league of nations project will have  been,remo_ved-lrom.the_liall-.of-private delibera-  lions to thc arena of public discussion,   ft has already taken shape of a provisional skeleton project, and will receive the finishing touches in the  next few days.   One may say wthout fear of error that being the resultant of two cross currents  and therefore a compromise, it is the best piece  of work which could bc achieved by the artisans  employed with the machinery available and because of thc methods followed, therefore, it can  only bc a mechanical device for regulating the  moral forces of elemental intensity. If even short  accounts of the discussions are published, and if  lhc Paris conference finds a frank .historian like  Paolo Sarpi. who described thc council in Trente,  lhc world will be surprised lo learn the quaint  byways and thoroughfares traversed by the open-  minded plcnipotcnlarics before they reached the  open plains of common ground.\"  CANADA'S CASUALTIES  Revised casualties reported to Canadian Militia  Headquarters up to and including Jan. 15, 1919:  Killed in action, 35.C8.4; died of wounds, 12,437;  died of disease, 4,057; wounded, 155,839; prisoners of war, 3,049; presumed dead, 4,682; missing,  398; total, 216,146.

The reason for this regulation of  the Paper Controller is that it is the  practice of some publishers to send  c thier    newspaper    until    ordered -  stopped, J and this practice . frequently means a failure to collect  anything . for subscriptions in arrears, in which case there is a virtual waste of pappr. -It is to prevent paper waste that the new reg- \"  ulation has been J decided on.  The- manufacture of -paper con- . !  sumes labor, wood; coal, chemicals  and  transportation ' facilities,  and    -  every: ton  of paper saved  means,  just so much more labor, raw materials, chemicals, fuel and transportation available -for urgent war  needs.   for Ibese reasons the Government insists that paper shall he  saved, and proposes that only those  who   pay   for   their   publications ,  shall reeeive them.  This order wilt leave tlie newspaper pnhlis^ers no choice in the  matter. W-i must therefore insist  upon all subscriptions to the Commoner heing paitj ap.

Thc problem will havc to be met in some other  way. Wc believe it can bc met only by our-farmers and market gardeners mobilizing their resources and output.

So big, in fact, as to put such lcgis-  = lation out of. the pale of the probable.  The question is more of a local nature.

If he moves out il will bc a confession that he has  allowed a foreigner lo heat him in his own homeland.  Get together!

In this connection wc are permitted lo stale  that in reply lo thc lettergram sent thc Ottawa  government last week signed by Mayor Barnes,  asking thc government to look into thc advisability of acquiring the-Endcrhy Indian reserve for  returned men, lhc Department states that thc  matter has been submitted to thc Veterans' Association al Ottawa to bc looked into by that organization.  This, it would seem, is thc proper procedure lo  take. It is in contrast to the policy of our local  government of acquiring land for the soldiers  without even placing the matter before them,  with the result that the Provincial Government  has now two large tracla of land on Its hands  which the soldiers are either unable or unwilling  to accept on thc condition* laid down. Tlie land  in the north of thc Province is far removed from  settlement and is unacceptable to the men. and  that in lhe south can not be put into shape for  cultivation for a I least a year or two and at an  expenditure of a million dollars or more. This  2,200 acres cost tlie government $350,000. roughly $16 an acre. It will cost another million dollars to get water on the land, which would mean  lhat the land could not be turned over to thc relumed men for less than $60 an acre. And the  land is a long distance removed from any settlement and markets- Tliis is a particularly objectionable feature to lhc returned men.

According to the report,'the  total number of Indians and Eskimos in Canada is 109,291. Of  this total. 105,998 > arc Indians  and 3,296 arceEskimos. Thc total value of thcji-cal and personal  property of lhe native race in  1918 was $65,285,112,. against  $62,995,915 in the preceding  year and $56,-136,689 in 1916.  Thc lolal income of lhc Indians  from all sources in 1918 was 58,-  418,307.10, againsl .$7,300\/186 in  1917.

A. E.  Cooke, of First Congregational Church, Vancouver, made a strong denunciation of mothers who  sent their daughters out into .the world without  having taught them even the vital facts of physical life. This was a \"conspiracy of silence,\" he  said, and had'wrecked the innocence of a multitude of girls.  \"There are two types of women in every country, the wise and the. foolish,\" said the speaker,  \"those who uphold the. honor of their womanhood  and those who are traitors ..to their sex.\"  A number of representative real estate men  waited on the Provincial Executive last Friday  morning advocating the passage of a bill designed  to license and bond men for dealing in real estate  and to prohibit other such individuals who are  pear fo view the dlorlB of tlie Provincial Govern- not licensed and bonded from pursuing that par-  ISO^ hqwsBK woa inlqgclcd, as * scheme to ex-ticular business.   .

Thc tables given in thc  -reporl-show-lhat-there-has-bcen  an increase of upwards of two  and a half million dollars in the  income of the Indians in the last  four years.  The report emphasizes thc  loyal and patriotic spirit shown  by thc Indians during thc war  and their gallantry on thc field  of battle. As shown by the report, many of the Indian sol-.v  diers have been decorated for  bravery. The sum of $24,503.91  has been contributed by the Ju- cattle  dians to tlie Patriotic, Red Cross  and other war funds up to the  date of Uie publication of the report.  Referring to the'..part taken  by the Indians in the war, the  report says: \"Special mention  must be made of the Cliippewas  of Nawasli, Cape Croker, Rama.-  Georgina and Snake Island, the  Mississaugas of Scugog, the Ft.  William band, and the Moravians of the Thames in Ontario,  tlie Micmacs of Prince Edward  Island, tlie Cote band, in the  Pellc Agency, iu Saskatchewan,  and the Head of the Lako band,  in tlie Okanagan Agency, British Columbia, as these bands  have seut to the front -practically   all   their   able-bodied   male  members of military age. Many  of thc'Indians arc excellent snipers, and their remarkably fine  work in this branch of. the service has evoked a great amount  of comment and admiration.  The Indian women, rendered  valuable service in Red Cross  work, knitting socks, mufflers,  and supplying various comforts  for the soldiers. On a number  of reserves thcy- operated  branches of the Red Cross with  great success.\"  According.to the report, education is making good3 progress  among the Indians.

In addition lo these appropriations, lhc various bands of Indians whose funds were sufficient contributed the sum of  $29,3-10.70 toward the payment  of=lcaehers!=salarics=and=thc-up-  keep of school buildings on  lhcir reserves.  Thc report refers lo thc greater production campaign carried  on on thc Indian reserves in thc  Dominion. The campaign met  with great success, as shown by  the report. On the reservations  in Ontario practically every acre  of land suitable for such purposes was utilized either in the  raising of crop** or pasturing of  also an increase, in farm stock,,  on the reserves, due'to the activities of thc Department and.  to the added interest taken by  thc Indians in farming. In 1917  thc number of acres of land under crop on thc Indian reserves  throughout Canada was 70,688  acres. In 1918 there were 82,421  acres under crop, an increase of  11,723 acres! \\  Thc health of the Indians ami  their observance, of-- the .rules :,ofn\/.  sanitation and personal cleanliness . are improving, the report  states,, and their-; dwellings are.  improving.

If they lose  them unjustly the matter should be brought home  forcibly to the employer who committed the injustice, but if the dismissal of the veteran was the  veteran's own inability to fill the duties of the job  satisfactorily, then he is hurting the entire cause  of the returned soldier unless he keeps his mouth  shut.  \"As a general rule, an employer does not hire  a man unless he wants one and it is just as general a rule that an employer does not fire a man  unless he fails to do the work satisfactorily. If  a man is sacked, let him take a good look at his  own end of the deal before he lays a complaint  against his employer. If he does not carry on  properly on his job, gets fired, ahd then raises a  horrible row about the way returned soldiers are  treated, he ultimately brings discredit upon everyone who tries to help him.

The Canadian National  Live Stock Council the Canadian flankers* Association, The Canadian Railway War Board, and  the Canadian Meat Packers have each nominated  a member of a oemmittee to consider with the  government officials the problem* arising in connection with both the domestic and export trade  in animal products. The purpose of th\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd committee, which will meet from time to time with the  Live Stock Commissioner as occasion demands,  is to discuss and solve when possible the problems  of production, marketing, transportation, and finance, as affecting the development of the, Canadian live stock industry and the Canadian meat  trade in the export markets. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdach member of the  committee, after action is decided upon, will  work in direct connection wfh the interest he represents in the effort to find the solution required.  Unanimous appreciation was expressed as to,  the common purpose in view, the present congestion in the English market being regarded as tem-  -']TO\"raTyr^Gonfidcn\"cc=was -\"=indicatcd=thaWhe=situa-  lion would shortly be cleared up and that the difficulty is,-therefore, immaterial so far as thc permanent live stock policy of Canada is concerned.  Thc first definite step considered was thc possibility of securing certain rearrangements in transportation service for lhc central live stock markets in Canada, and Mr. Neal, secretary of the  Canadian Railway Board, will prepare a report  for submission at thc next meeting of the committee.  A hot-bed is desirable wherever vegetables or  flowers are grown in Canada. It is a means by  wliich plant's arc grown through their earlier  stages in a suitable temperature in order to shorten the time of reaching condition for use or coming into flower. It is the early vegetables >yhich  are the most profitable and most appreciated.  Furthermore, with a hot-bed it is possible,to mature certain vegetables in parts of Canada where,  if started in the open, lhcy would not ripen before  being kliled by frost. Again, with a hot-bed it is  possible to mature a large crop when without one  the crop would be very small. Certain vegetables  also, even if not subjected to actual frost, will not  grow if the soil and air are cold, hence must be  started in warm soil and warm air such as is afforded by a hot-bed, and tlie plants grown there  are not set out in the open until warm weather.  Such crops as radishes, lettuce, spinach, carrots  and other vegetables which reach marketable size  in a relatively short season and arc easily handled  while the weather is still cool in early spring,  reach the stage when they are ready for use much  sooner when kept in the hot-bed and cold frame  than if one had to wait till the seed were planted  in the open and the plants developed there. There  is usually greater danger from keeping thc hotbed  too hot for .these particular vegetables than from  its being too cool. Cauliflower also can be grown  to maturity in hot-beds, and\"in piaccs where it is  difficult, owing to summer frost or cool weather,  to grow cucumbers and'melons, a few plants in a  hot-bed will provide a fair supply for the family.  In making a hot-bed the conservation of the  heat in it is one of the first considerations, and to  assist in this the hotbed should be in a protected  place, preferably on the south side of a building,  wall,- or close board fence where the cold winds  will be broken and all the sunshine possible be  obtained. The manure used should bc hot when  it is put in, and it should be kept hot by thoroughly banking the outside of the frame with manure  to prevent thc cold getting in and the heat gteting  out. It is easier to conserve heat in a bed that is  low than one that is built high up.  . Cold frames are much like hot-beds iii appearance, but no manure is put inside as cold frames  are used later in the spring than hot-beds and less  heat is required, there being sufficient from the  sun shining through the glass, and the glass and  frame usually affoffd sufficient protection from  light frosts at night should there be such-  Details in regard to making hot-beds, will he  found in a pamphlet which can be obtained free  on application to the Publications Branch, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa.   .

Whenne, the village philosopher, to  Glenn M. Farley in the Seattle Post-Intellligencer,  \"we have found a cure for influenza in, Uie general excitement.\"  \"Where do you get that?\" asked the Interested  Listener. \"All the medical sharps have becn  punching us full of holes, and they say thcy  haven't found a cure for it.\"  \"Look at the facts,\" replied Whenne. \"Ten days  ago we were worrying about influenzc, and thinking about, and publishing the daily deaths and  new cases, and even publishing charts that  showed the daily ups ahd downs of the .epidemic.  Then somebody came along and shut off our food  supplies, tried to turn out the gas and electric  lights, and shut down the street car lines, and  changed the subject, and by jings, little old influenza just naturally packed its grip and lit out; it  couldn't stand the public neglect and Inattention-  Nobobdy cared a darn about it because it was  swallowed up by larger troubles. We ought to remember this and apply its useful lesson in other  matters that come up.\"  \"Yes,\" said the Listener, \"there is something in  it. I remember a lot of sick soldiers iri French  hospitals, some of them about ready to die, got  up out of their beds and forgot they were sick  when the armistice was signed-\"  \"Bud,\" said Whenne, \"I had an aunt that was  an invalid for thirty years, and she had thc whole  family waiting on her. We used to go out on thc  street and drive the organ grinders away, and  caution thc children to play quietly on account  of the sick lady, and one night tin house caught  fire and auntie beat us all out, and ran a mile before, she stopped- We were two days looking for  her, and she. was .etttirely.healed from her excitement.    A man in my old home town was par-  \"Many people are asking why the government  is now appealing to the country to put money at  its disposal by way of the purchase of Savings  and Thrift Stamps when it has turned back a proportion of all subscriptions to the 1918 Victory  Loan of over $1,000,000,\" says Mr. Campbell  Sweeny, Chairman of the National War Savings  Committee for Brilish Columbia. <>  lhe answer is that the main object of the Savings and Thrift Stamp plan of finance is to inculcate habits of ercnomy throughout tno land and  to provide a means by which an absolutely safe  and more profitable investment than now exists is  made available for the smaller savings of the people. Absolute safety is the first consideration in  mind and the return of 4V& per cent compounded  half-yearly, is as great as people not possessed of  high commercial education or great business instincts can reasonably expect.  On the other hand, the controllers of great capital, through their experience in business undertakings, are naturally looking for greater returns  on their capital and it is to the interest of the  country tliat they should have this ambition and  gratify it by going into large operations of trade  and manufacture. It is possible that the government had this in view when they left some of the  money offcred them lately in public hands.  Tlie results of the Victory Loans were thc outcome of high patriotism under war conditions.  The propaganda of Thrift and economy must be  continuous and its results must be awaited with  patience but it should be as long liyed as slow  coming. Eventually it should be takn up as a permanent government department and if the saving  habit becomes a fixed one among us our Victory  Loan obligations as they mature will be replaced  by our National Savings and the need of going  abroad for money for our national -wants will disappear and our national debt instead of being a  burden in consequence of the interest upon it being sent out of Canada will become a real boon  in the way of affording a safe and profitable  means of absorbing our savings.  CANADIAN WOMEN'S WORK IN PEACE  In replying to an enquiry from a women's organization as to what can be done, H. B. Thomson, chairman of the Canadian Food Board, states  that the co-operation of women in the immediate  peace adjustment is as invaluable as it was in the  numerous war activities.  ,  Now that the necessity for food conservation is  less urgent, the women of Canada can perform a  service in other directions, of national importance  alyzed in one leg\/arid when footpads held him 0_-   ,  .    .,   . _ .. . , *     ., ,    .       :, .  up one night he hit one of them with his crutch |!qutalA.to that accomphshd.by them durmg the  aiid outran the other one.

WHEN YOU ENTER BY TELEPHONE  ANNOUNCE YOUR NAME  Saying \"Hello,\" \"What number is this,\" and  \"Who is speaking?\" wastes your time and that  of the person you call.  As soon as your party answers, the correct practice is to ANNOUNCE YOUR NAME and start  the call in the same direct manner that you use  in a face-to-faceomeeting.  Say: \"Mr. Jones speaking. I should like to talk  with Mr. Smith,\" or,  \"Jones speaking; Mr. Smith, please,\" or,  If Mr. Smith has answered wiUfhis name, say,  \"This is Mr. Jones.\"  And when you answer a telephone, ALWAYS  announce your name first.

He stated that thc road policy of the past few  years had bcen a most miserable onc, said that to  man the Public Utilities Board with political refugees would be a costty mistake and he wanted  thc government to restore its \"slightly shattered\"  prestige by coming out of the woods and naming  the commission when it. brought in thc bill; declared that thcrc had been a fiasco in thc admin-  the Settlers' Rights bill of last session, called the  municipal legislation of recent years a patchwork  proposition and declared that thc government in  its failure to follow up the P.
