SubscriDtion, S2.00 per vear: 5c the conv bi Okanagan Lake Soft Fruit Shipments Grow Lake pie ihe The Okanagan of the Valley is as busy as a beehive *with the buckwheat in bloom. The shipments now are cherries. And the quality of the fruit is exceptionally fine. Seventy-per cent of the crop is being sold through the Okanagan United Growers. The fruit is gathered from all way-points on the lake and centralized at the C. P. R. pre-cooling plant at Summerland where it remains in cold storage from 24 to 36 hours. It is then loaded on refrigerator cars and shipped direct to Eastern Canadian market points. Three carloads of cherries were sent out this week, one going direct to Toronto, one to Montreal and one to the Northwest distributing centre. Ih this way the fruit is kept at its best, and lands at point of destination in as good condition as when picked from the trees. Here aiid there in the district the May frosts hit the orchards hard. Onc grower whose orchard promised a $6,000 yield,, will nqt sell a dollar's worth. \" Others were similarly damaged. Bul thc fruit crop generally will bc up to the average. The United Growers will handle a million and a half dollars' worth of the hanvest. Apricots and peaches will follow thc cherries. It is certain now that the crop of these fruits will bc up to thc average. And thc quality will bc the best.

Theanews item in the Commoner last week stating that Manager Dobie, of the Okanagan Telephone Company, had under consideration the question of consolidating the Enderby exchange with that of Armstrong, was the cause of an awakened interest on the part of some of the businessmen, with the result that a petition was presented to the City Council Monday evening protesting against the proposed change and asking that the tolls over the Government line be looked into. The petition was not signed. Not that the City Council did not want to hold the telephone * exchange in Enderby, but because' the members did not think this was the correct way to go about it. Manager Dobie was in Enderby o on Wednesday going into thc ipattcr with some of our businessmen. He was frank and clear in his explanations. Thc Commoner took occasion to get from Mr. Dobie a statement of thc company's side of the case. He said he was as reluctant as anyone to make thc proposed change; hc would like to continue the exchange at this point, but there was a Enderby City Council in Interesting Session: A regular meeting of the City any action, as the Councilmeri of Enderby Council was held at; did not feel that they were in a the City Hall, Monday evening; present Acting-Mayor Coltart, and Aldermen Gaylord, Hartry and Nichol.

It was agreed to rescind the decision made by the .Council at the last meeting to ask the permission of the Canadian Pacific Railway to carry the drain under their right-of-way.

Anything short of a cheerful acquiescence in the existing state of things cannot be called contentment, and who can cheerfully acquiesce in tvery experience In life? But we need not \"kick\" and have a perpetual \"grouch\" if life isn't just what we would like to have it. We must try to be content In our situation; we should aspire, but should be content until it is time to rise. Be content, but not satisfiad. When a man is content with his lot, having no aspirations for anything higher, he is a very lazy and indifferent man, and will never be a great success in life. No man has a right to cultivate that self-satisfied, contented state of mind, any more than he has to cut off his thumb, and sit quietly down and nurse the stub. When a man gets perfectly contented he and a clam are very closely related. The \"Why\" of Bustling Towns Losing Their Identity as Busy Burgs In many rural localities tbe fathers and mothers arc contin- uallv lamenting thc ;l'act that so many of the boys ancl girls leave the town, the farm home and the community surrounding to seek their career in the large cities. In this connection attention might profitably be directed to a certain Western Ontario community. This rural district, but a few years ago, seemed fairly permeated with the prosperity germ, and tbe community boasted two bustling, up-to- date towns <, that Vvere the delight of a countryside alive with energetic, contented swains and merry, rosy-checked lassies. Today this district is practically depleted of its youth and beauty, and there is about as much \"life\" in evidence about the village as one would expect to find in a paupers' burial ground. There is one dclapi- datcd school where formerly there were tour imposing, life- radiating halls df instruction; once every so often, disgorging principally parcels for the farmers, these being pasted with the labels, of big mail-order houses in the distant metropolis. The \"catalogue craze\" killed Dispose of Old Hens As soon as ihe breeding season is over, dispose of all male birds used in the breeding pens. When the egg yield drops in the early summer, or when the i'egg yield does not pay for the feed, sell off all hens over two years old and even Hie year-olds cull pretty well.

Thc farmer keeps the same number of cows summer and winter, but the supply of milk is greater during the summer months. By his contracts the milk dealer has to take thc surplus from tbe dairy farmer. lie could not get over the ahd in the market without loss if he did not turn to ice cream making. Any loss in summer he would have to make up hy an increased price of milk in the winter. It requires 300 pounds of milk , churned into butter to give thc same returns as 200 pounds made into ice cream. Fifty per cent of all ice cream made is consumed as dessert, -and^thus^rcally=lakcs=lhc=place- of other foods. If the summer surplus of milk were churned for butter only thc price to thc farmer would drop and he would reduce the number of his cows. Tbis would mean \\\\ scarcity of winler milk, and scarcity means added price to thc consumer. Revenue from ice cream after all comes from those best able | to all'ord il. Yet lhc benefit of ja steadied price of milk for 12 .months is shared by all. Relatively, the benefit is greater to the man with the small wage. The food board has restricted the amount of fats in ice cream to 10 per. cent. Ice cream has a food value, but it is chiefly a luxiiry. We utilize its luxury- value in wartime best by steadying the all-year-round price of milk.

Hc attached a hose to thc exhaust of his automobile and ran thc hose inlo thc gopher holes, running lhe engine at a low rate of speed and\"filling in the holes where any smoke was noticed coming oul. Hc went from hole lo hole and cleaned up the field. Hc dug up several sectors of gopher dugouts and found dozens of Ihem dead in their burrows. A few managed to gel out at thc other end\" of their trench syslcm, hut these Icll over dead when they reached the open air.

Prior to 1914, thc total fire destruction on over a million acres of Gcrman forests was below onc thousand dollars a year. Other German forest areas suffered even less harm. In Canada, however, the country's commercial strength has been steadily weakened by devastating forest firqs lhat devour each year several million dollars' worlh of property and many human lives.' Most of these forest fires were started by carelessness that borders on criminality. One of the least condonablc causes is the unextinguished camp fire, left by camping parties. In 1917 and 1918 a full dozen of the worst fires in thc Dominion havc been due to campfircs and lighted cigarettes and matches. No canipfire ought to bc built anywhere except on rocks or gravel, and should bc entirely extinguished.

This would'not he so bad if il were not for the fact that the man who kills llie coyole and takes it lo the agent must forfeit the entire pelt\" As the. bounty is, $2 and a coyole pelt these days is worth from seven to ten dollars, the Liberal government is surely trying to play a nice game on the\" people killing coyotes. As a result, the man who kills a mangy coyote will turn it over to thc governmcnl, while the onc who kilis a coyole with a good pelt will forfeit the bounty and sell the pelt.'

Street Car Strike Nearly 1,700 electrical workers and street railwayman went on strike in Vancouver July 2. The situation is far morc serious than lhe onc of last year, because of tbe possibility of lhc electrical strike closing up-cily industries\". Many plants arc threatened with a shut-down. Thc steam auxiliary plant of Ihe B.C.E.R. Co. is in commission, manned by superintendents and foremen,) and it is supplying light and power, hut whether this plant will be able to continue to supply the capacity load is something which will, not bc asccrtaind for a day ,or two. Unusual complications have also arisen by thc attitude of a few of thc labor unions which regard the power generated as \"unfair.\" At the Coughlan shipyard tbe men refused to utilize this current and knocked off work. The yard is therefore practically tied up. The indirect j currents at the main plant are also operating but they arc onlv suitable for light and power, not for street railway energy. Farrier Sgt. J.

This is morc evident in the cases of painters, poets, novelists, musicians and other professional people than in the case of business men; but even in business illustrations arc as easy to find a* hair tonic in a barber shop, or knotholes in a ball park fence.

A man, however, will jump from behind one counter to behind another for no better reason than a difference of seventy-five cents a wTeek. Tell a fellow of this sort that you know where he can get another job, and will he ask you first about the line, or thc possibilites.'j.; Not once in a hundred and thirty-seven times He will roll another cigarette, tell tlie bartender to split one, gaze \"at you .with'-a fishy eye and say \"How much per?\" before you tell him where it is. Men jump from job to job thoughtlessly because they do not reaii\/e. the cumulative value of a good business repiitatr n, or of the knoweldge of one s line.

If we keep on indefinitely in ihe direction in which Ave are at present moving we shall at Jength arrive at a point on the edge of tbis wonderful strand, and shall then find ourselves relatively near to countless suns, each at least as brilliant as our own. There is no more beautiful and fascinating problem in astronomy than that of determining the exact point by the shore of the Milky Way toward which we are tending, and the exact velocity with which our fleet is moving. Many difficulties beset those who have undertaken to solve the problem, and, as was remarked at the beginning, another seems to have sprung up. This difficulty arises out of the strong suspicion that the whole vast ring of the Galaxy is rotating like a rolling hoop. If this be so the effect for us is as if the shores of the whole great ocean of space, which we havc just bcen picturing in oui'j imagination, . were revolving about us, carrying their lighthouses, the stars, with Uiem to the inevitable confusion of the calculations and the, observations of our star-gazing mariners of space. . This aspect of tho great problem will require long and care- tul study before ari\\r definite announcement can be made concerning it. But. in.. the meantime, the mere idea of the revolution of the Galaxy is enough to iill :md satisfy any mind.
