KELOWNA BRITISH COLUMBIA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1917.-6 PAGES  New Wood-Working  Company Organized  Plant Installed For Making All  Kinds of Furniture  Mention waa made aome time  ago of a move being made l>y thu  Kelowna Furniture Co. in the direction of home manufacture of  manv lines'of household furniture  which had previously been shipped  from factories in the east. A small  wood-working plant was put in  under the charge of Mr. Frank  Small in the building adjoining the  Morrison Hall on Lawrence Avenue. The experiment has proved  so entirely successful that the idea  is to be still further developed, and  a subsidiary company has already  been organized under the title of  the Woodcraft Manufacture Co.  and incorporation applied for.  The plant and machinerv has  been greatly added to, and now  includes circular and band saws,  planer, jointer, aanding machine,  mortising and drilling machines,  with contrivances for steam bending, drying, etc. Afuming chamber  has also been built by means ot  which the popular \"fumed oak\"  finish can be imparted by the use  of ammonia vapor. A large stock  of seasoned timber, oak, mahogany  and other fancy hardwoods have  been imported, and the firm is  now prepared to turn out almost  anything in the furniture line, and  what is perhaps more to the point,  at prices much less than goods  shipped from eastern factories,  could be sold for. Furniture, like  some other things, has been affected by the almost' phenomenal rise  in prices of the last year or two,  and this coupled with the greatly  increased freight rates from eastern  points (and freight rates count high  on bulky goods like furniture) has  made it possible to accomplish a  great saving by making goods locally. _ \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd  Up to the present time the plant  has been busily engaged with outside orders, amongst which was the  handsome fumed oak furniture and  fittings for the new Masonic Hall,  furniture for the Royal Arch Chapter, and tables and fittings for  Lawsons and Trench's new stores.  Time has also been found for the  construction of an especially attractive line of kitchen tables. By  making anumber of these goods to  one design it haa been possible to  place a very reasonable price upon  them.  The new company has - been  formed in the expectation that not  only will local needs in the furniture line be supplied with local  made goods but that a considerable  wholesale industry can be built up  in the Okanagan and surrounding  country. <  Local Farmers Are Planning  Convention  At the regular meeting of the  Benvoulin local of the U. F. B. C.  held at the Mission School laat  night an interesting subject was  discussed by members and visitors,  viz., the 100 per cent, increase in  farmers taxes for 1917, technically  known as the Surtax Act.  After considerable discussion the  following resolution was passed:  that a convention of the farmers of  the Kelowna district be held in the  Board of Trade Rooms at an early  date to discuss the Taxation Act,  Pound District and other subjects  of interest to farmers, and a committee be appointed to make arrangement* for same  Archie Johnson has this week  relinquished his interest in the Max  Jenkins Co. livery business, having  sold out to Geo. Kennedy. The  change took place from the first of  the month and Mr, Kennedy is already engaged in hia new work.  There will be many friends who  will be pleased to see him thus  embark in business, and wish him  success, more especially as it affords  an instance of a soldier who has  done his bit, and a big bit at that,  settling down so easily into civilian  life again.  Chautauqua Festival  Here Next Week  Three Days Festival Will In-  Some Noteworthy Features  Thirty years ago began a movement at Chautauqua Lake, N.Y.,  which now includes 5,00.0 annual  assemblies in Canada and the U.S.  It brings the highest class of instruction, inspiration and entertainment  to over 12,000,000, people, who  could not secure such remarkable  programs'were it not for the modern Chautauqua system, The greatest talentjis thus secured at the ends  of the earth and brought into towns  and communities of all sizes, where-  ever public spirited citizens are  willing to make it possible by  guaranteeing the sale of enough  season tickets to barely cover the  expenses. Some of the talent  brought to Kelowna next week had  to be secured two and three years  in advance.  Chautauqua is primarily a builder  of civilization, not a, money-making  enterprise. It ia maintained by local  associations all over the United  States and Canada, and is now beginning to spread to England, Australia and other countries. To be  on the Chautauqua map has come  to be an indication of culture and  civic enterprise.  Our Chautauqua Festival attractions will include the Royal Hawaiian Quartet; Julius Caesar Nayphe  in \"The Oriental Pageant\"; Lelia  M. Blomfieid, in \"Stories and Customs ot New Zealand\"; Capt. W. J.  Hindley, lecturer, on the \"Reign of  the Common People\"; the Chautauqua Festival Orchestra; and Walter  E. Stern, with his lecture, \"The Far  Country.\"  Thi\/ pure Music of the Hawaiian  Islands will be featured in the two  concerts to be given on the closing  day of the Chautauqua Festival by  the Royal Hawaiian Quartet. Of  recent years Hawaiian music has  had a great following in the United States and trie Dominion, surpassing all others in popularity, as  evidenced by the number of Ha-  Hawaiian songs and records now  available. There is a reason for  this popularity, and this reason is  argely found in the melodious  sweetness of the strains from the  ukelele, guitar and taropatch.  There is a peculiar method which  only the Hawaiian uses in 'he  playing of these instruments, which  defies all description. It produces  a plaintive haunting melody which  seems to go straight to the heart  of the hearer.  One of. the interesting features  in connection with Julius Caesar  Nayphe's lecture, \"The Oriental  Pageant,\" which will be given on  the second night of the Chautauqua Festival, is an Oriental Marriage' ceremony. Elaborate costumes brought from Athens will be  worn by several local young women during the lecture.  Born at Athens, reared in Pales-)  tine, educated both abroad and in  America, Julius Caesar Nayphe is  thoroughly equipped for the unique lecture which he will deliver.  Dressed in heavily embroidered  -obee of his native land, he contrasts the customs, life, fashions,  courtship and marriage of his own  country with those, of this continent.  Hear Leila M. Blo\\.ifield on the  second afternoon of the Chautauqua Festival. This young lady  comes >o Canadian audiences with  a story of her native land in New  Zealand. The world's greatest  thinkers and writers have long  found food for admiring consideration and study of this little South  Sea colony, where many of thi  world's perplexing problems ii  politics and social life have been  solved. New Zealand claims to  have the model government of the  world, and it seems indeed as  though it is a small Utopia which  is. teaching larger communities  lessons in practical law-making.  Mrs. Blomfieid, who has gained  prominence as a writer, traveller  and lecturer, appears in the native  costume of the Maori tribe.  Mr. W. J. Hindley is one of the  ablest orators upon the platform  today. His lecture upon the last  afternoon of the Chaurauqua Festi-  T  a. P  Showing British Gains Under Haig  Recent gains on the British front, including the latest Cambrai drive.  Indians Enlisted Readily  The Indians of the Okanagan  have responded readily to the call  for overseas service. The exemption tribunal-at Vernon has found  that at the Head of the Lakes Reserve every Indian who would have  come under Class I of the Military  Service Act is at the front already,  or on hia way there. There are no  unmarried Indians or widowers  without children between the ages  of 20 and 34 who have not donned  khaki, and a considerable number  now in service have left wives and  children behind.  This year 2600 tons of hay have  been shipped from Enderby.  George Barkwell, of Summerland  was listed amongst the \" killed in  action\" last week.  With the exception of 23 miles,  the wagon road is finished between  Vernon and Ed'gewood.  val will be one of {' \ufffd\ufffdbiggest events  of the \"Three Joyous Days.\"  The Chautauqua Fcstival.Orclies-  tra is a. company of six charming  young Indies, who offer a program  which xa e delight ro the general  public and a pleasure to the most  musically critical. The Orchestra  was originally organized by these  talented young ladies solely for  their own pleasure. ' After months  of stud) they decided to accept  engagements on the concert stage.  Their success was instantaneous.  The fiirst day lecturer on the  Chautauqua Festival.is one of the  younger generation of lecturers on  the Chautauqua platform. Trained  for a business career, and successful in that field of endeavor, Walter  E. Stern is what might appropriately  be termed a \"business-man lecturer.\" He is now devoting his entire  time and high talents to Chautauqua work, because of the opportunities for aervice presented by this  profession. \"The Far Country\" is  the sane helpful message of a red-  blooded man, delivered forcibly  and without oratorical trills It  deals with modern home and community problems in a thoroughly  practical and comprehensible manner.  Rutland News  Usees oar owe snmsoosdsatl.  Mrs, Petch and her two children  returned on Saturday from Winnipeg.  Clarence Duncan made a business trip to Calgary last week, returning Thursday. His niece,  Delpha Woolsey' came back with  him and will stay several weeks.  A conference of Sunday-school  workers is being held this afternoon. Manv delegates are expected to attend from town.  The Women's Institute will hold  their meeting in the schoolhouse  on Thursday afternoon, December  13th, at 3 o'clock. As this is the  last meeting of the year all members are asked to attend and bring  suggestions for next year's programme. There will be an exhibition of fancy work suitabli; for  Christmas gifis and a sale of other  useful articles. All the ladies of  Rutland are invited to attend. Mrs.  Stonehoific will .sell tickets for the  drawing for a sofa cushion which  she haa given for .he benefit of the  Pat'iotic. .Fund*.\"  Some time last March a banquet  was held at Rutland to raise funds  for the aid of returned soldiers  under the management of Mis Orchard and Mesdames J. Morilson,  W. Leithead, |. Brown, Homuth,  J. Campbell, W.Price, S. T. Elliott,  E. Latta and W. Stonehouse. A  sum of $157 was raised. The  money was held for some lime  but as it was found that it was not  being required for the purpose for  which it was raised, the committee  decided to distribute the money  amongst some of the other causes  Accordingly $57 was given to the  Y.M.C.A., $25 to the Prisoners of  War, $25 to the Patriotic Fund,  and $50 is still on hand. Mrs.  Stonehouse has been acting as  secretary for the committee.  School Honor Roll  For November  i.  H.  in.  IV.  V  VI.  VII.  Vlll.  IX.  X.

Div. 9 (First Primer) Class A.    '  I Muriel Jenkins  $ 1.50 Per Annum  $209,050 Is Kelowna's  Loan Subscription  Whole Dominion Loan is Subscribed More Than Twice  The Victory Loan campaign  came to a victorious ending Saturday evening not only in Kelowna  but almost without exception  throughout the length and breadth  of Canada. The sum realized locally surprised even the most sanguine optimists. Prophecies of as  low as thirty or forty thousand  dollars were quite commonly heard  in the early part of lhe campaign,  and it was amusing to see the way'  in which the pessimists and even  the moderate estimators had to  keep on revising their figures as  the collection progressed. Finally,  as the \"mercury\" in the themome-  ter reached the top and the clock  hand continued to go round all  attempts at prophecy were abandoned. Efforts to sell the bonds  were redoubled and the grand total at the close Saturday night  stood at $209,050.  The credit for this very satisfactory result lies first in the efficiency  of the organization both for advertising and sales, but mostly to the  energetic way in which the canvassers went lo their work. The  highest figure reached by any individual firm was that of the Loan  Co. which had over $40,000 to its  credit. Next came Aid. Rattenbury  with $19,800; Mantle & Wilson,  $17,700; E. Murdock $12,600; N.  D.McTnvish, $10,350; and others,  lesser amounts. The local Japanese were ready subscribers taking  amongst them $8,600.  In all there were 880 subscribers  and this has been calculated as  one in 6.61 of the population of  the district \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd truly an excellent  showing.  The rivalry between Kelowna  and Vernon continued up till the  last and added -further -zest to the  campaign. Our neighbour to the  north ended up with about $220,-  000 or a lead of about $11,000.  Local canvassers, however, contend  that Kelowna people actually scored a moral victory, for Vernon's #  figures include contributions  amounting to $46,000 from the  sinking funds of the two municipalities of Vernon and Coldstream.  Kelowna got no such assistance  from the civic authorities. .The investment of the $209,050 from  Kelowna will mean an annual income in interest on the bonds of  oner $10,000 to $12,000, equivalent to a monthly payl oil of nearly  $1,000.  Figures for the whole of Canada '  are not at present completed, but  it has been stated at headquarters  that the total will not be less than  $362,000,000, or $62,000,000 more  than double the amount asked for.  Summerland now has a silo, the  first of to be erected in that place,  having been put up recently on the  Balcomo Ranch.  This year a squash was grown  near Lillooet, that weighs 120  pounds, and is seven feet in circumference.  The exemption tribunal ot Penticton has finished its labors. Fifty-  two class A men were passed for  aervice, and about a dozen exempted.  Norway, Sweden and Denmark  have signed a new agreement to  observe the utmost neutrality, it is  officially stated, following a conference of the three Kings. The three  nations agreed on Scandinavian  harmony, mutual confidence and  mutual aid.  2 Alexander Bennett  3 Leslie Lanfear  Honourable     mention:     Rene  Drueshe, Josephine Mallett, Olive  Brown, Mabel Pettigrew, Eric McMillan.

Lord Lansdowne  Makes Sensational  Appeal For Peace  Widespread   Criticism   From  British and American Press  Tlie strongest impetus to a renewal of the heated discussion ot  the rival schools on the war policv  of the allies was provoked from a  most unexpected quarter by the  publication of a long letter from  the Marquis of Lansdowne, strongly pleading for a revision of the  allies' war aims and an attempt to  secure peace before \" the prolongation of the war leads to the ruin of  the civilized world.\"  The letter gives formal adhesion  to President Wilson's policy of a  league of nations, and contends that  it would stimulate the German  peace party if such revision made  it clear that the annihilation of Germany is not desired, that there is no  intention to impose on the Germans  a form of government against their  choice, that the allies do not wish  to deny Germany hei place among  the great commercial countries, that  Britain ia prepared after the war  to consider the problem of freedom  of the seas in concert with other nations, and finally that Britain is prepared to enter into an international pact for the settlement of disputes by peaceful means.  The letter has created a tremendous uproar in the press of England, many of whom characterize  such an expression of opinion  coming from a man of Lord Lans-  downe's prominence as nothing  short of a national disaster, calculated to encoumge in the enemy a  belief that England was about to  break down and was ready for a  surrender. In some quarters, however, support is given to the letter  as a reasonable proposal.  Hon. J. I. MacPherson, parliamentary under secretary foi- war,  has answered the Marquis of Lans-  downe'a letter. He said the allies  do not desire to annihilate Germany aa a great power. There is  no desire to impose on German  people any form of government  she does not desire. The allies do  not desire to deny Germany her  place among great commercial nations. The allies are willing to  make an international pact with  Germany creating a method to  settle disputes peacefully. MacPherson declared England could  not negotiate with Germany until  the seas were cleared of a piratical, treacherous foe.  All the shell contracts at the coast  are now completed, an exchange  states. The plants, however, which  were installed for the purpose at  New Westminster and Vancouver  are not to be immediately dismantled, as there is still the possibility  of further contracts.  French troops are pouring  through the Alpine passes. Relief  is in sight for lialv. Men and guns  to roll back the Teutons are passing  seemingly without an end over  roads Napoleon built. Terrible  blizzards sweeping the northern  mountains have stopped the inuad-  ing Austrians. The enemy is unable lo move guns nnd reinlorce-  ments, while the Italians, accustomed to mountain fighting, have  launched frequent furious attacks.  Additional reinforcements are  reashing the Italian front lines.

PARADES - The combined  troop will parade at the club mum  on Tuesday, the I Ith day of December, at 7.15 p.m. There will he  no parade on Saturday, the 15th  inst, If we are permitted to do so  by the A. & T. Assn. we shall practise basket ball on Friday of this  wei-k and Friday of next week.  We have decided to have the  presentation of the silver crosses  postponed to our annual concert,  to be held in April or May of next  year, and in view of thia we  thought probable that we would  not hold our annual bun feed this  Christmas, at which our semiannual presentation of badges  takes place. As far as the bun  feed is concerned, however, this  was an exceedingly unpopular suggestion, and we shall therefore  hold our usual bun feed on either  Friday, the 21st, or Saturday, the  22nd instant. We have not vet  decided whether the badges won  to date will be presented then or  not, but in any event we shall be  glad if all the parents and friends  will take the opportunity of coming down to see us, and we shall  also endeavor to arrange for a chat  from a returned soldier or two.  Keep the date in mind.  We received a letter from P. L.  Thomas Snashall the other day,  and he is now attending the parades of Seymour Troop, Vancouver. He states, as we mentioned  in thiB column before, that the  troop ia now in charge of one of  the Patrol Leaders, a boy of seventeen. Tommy said that he thought  the fellows would not listerfto what  the Patrol Leader said, but ends by  saying:-\"Believe me they certainly  do obey him,\" Tommy thinks we  ought to put in a team forthe Henry  Eaves Challenge Cup. We think  we could put up a good team, but  the expense of sending a team down  to the coast is rather prohibitive.  Badges completed during the  week have been the Pioneer and  Cyclist by Patrol Leader Parkinson  and the Cyclist by Second G. Mantle and Scout J. Groves. Patrol  Leader Parkinson is also well on  his way with the work for the War  Service Badge. We should certainly  have one or two of these badges in  our troop, and that particular badge  will be a great thing to hold in  future years, showing that the holder was too young to be fighting in  the great war, but that he did his  part at home.  We thank all those scouts and  cubs who assisted with the work  of the Victory Loan Committee and  we note that Sir Thomas White in  thanking the Canadian people for  the splendid response to this loan,  specifically mentions the Boy Scouts  of Canada in his statement an  nouncing the result.  We take lhe   following   skit   on  smoking from an old issue of \" i 1  Scout\":\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \/  ' A Cigarette Arithmetic .'  Every boy knows that smoking is  one of the evils which he should  avoid but he doesn't always carry  his knowledge into practice. The  other dav we came across an interesting little ' Cigarette Arithmetic'  Any reader who is tempted to  ouiokr: should take special notice  of it.  'I'm not much of a mathematician',  said the cigarette, ' but I can   and  do-  Add to a man's nervous troubles;  Subtract     from     his     physical  energy;  Multiply his aches and pains;  Divide his mental powers; take  Interest from his work; and  Discount his chances of success.

Ilooth, Taking Advantage of Guard's  Temporary        Xi gleet,        Rushed  Through   he llox Entrance and  Accomplished His Deed.  When Mr. nnd Mrs. Lincoln and  their party sat down In their box at  Ford's Theatre the fateful night tha  President was shot, Ihe guard who  was acting as substitute for Col. Mc-  Cook, took his position at the rear of  the box, close to an entrance leading  Into the box from the dress circle of  the theatre. His orders were to  stand there, fully armed, nnd to permit no unouthor'?ed ,\">rson to pass  Into the box. FT'9 orders were to  -t:rnd there and protect the President  nt nil hazards. Frcr- IV cpat where  he was thus ftat'oncd, til's guard  -\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdould not see the stage cr tho nctors:  hilt ho could hear the rrrrls the net-  lrs spoke, and he bflCR*\"fl so in'erest-  pd in them that, Incredible- as It may  leem, he qitletlv ridserltvl it's po^t or  hiv, and, walk'\"? down tho dimly  Me'ited aisle, dellherstely took a sent  in the last row of the dress circle.  It was while the Prealdont was thus  absolutely unprotected through this  guard's amazing recklessness\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdto use  no stronger words\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthat Pooth rushed through the entrance to the box,  Just deserted by the guard, and accomplished hl3 fall deed.

CHINAMAN'S CURIOUS MISTAKE  In Chinese visiting etiquette the  rank of the caller Is denoted by the  size of his card. Thus the visiting-  card or a high mandarin would be  an immense roll of paper, neatly tied  up.  A gentleman who has travelled In  China brought home a Chinese ser-  vent, and his wife soon nfter held a  \"reception.\" John Chinaman attended the door, and received with great  disgust the small paste-boarda of the  visitors. Evidently with an opinion  of his own of the low condition of his  mistress's friends, he pitched the  cards Into a basket and with scant  ceremony showed their owners into  the drawing-room.  But presently the gaB-man called  with a bill\ufffd\ufffd\ufffda big piece of cream-  coloured paper. Tho \"card\" satisfied  John. With deep reverenco he received it. With low salaams he UBh-  ered the bearer not only Into the  drawing-room, but with profound  bowings, to the dismay of the gasman and horror of the hostess, right  up to the centre of the room, whero  the lady was receiving her distinguished guests; and then John, with  another humble reverence, meekly  retired, doubtless supposing that the  owner of the card was a person of  very high  distinction  All He Said.  A Chinaman was called as a witless in the police court of Los An-  reles In the case of a driver who had  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdun over a dog. The Judge asked  lini what time It was when he saw  Ih\"  man run over the dog.  \"Me no sabe,\" replied  the  witness.  \"I say,\" repeated the judge, \"what  .Imo waa it when you Baw the man  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdun over the dog?\"  \"Me no sabe,\" repeated John, smll-  ng blankly.  \"We shall havo to have an interpreter,\" commented his honour, as he  realised that the witness did not un-  lerstand English; and accordingly  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdnotlier Chinaman was hailed Into  curt to act as interpreter. \"Ask the  vltness,\" commanded the Judge,  'when he saw this man run over the  'eg.\"  The interpreter turned to his fel-  o\\v countryman and said, \"We chung  o, ho me choo lung wow, e-ho^me no  ?how ehee, loo know so-loo bing gong  ong yit ben.\"  To which the witness replied,  'Wong tin kee. wo boo, wing chong  ung yue lee, kin s'ug, choy yoke  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdoey ying lnng ding wah, sling amy  fray san yick ling toy bing coey how  :\ufffd\ufffdu, po long pn gou hung mow kirn  luong queii iee chow yo ben tong.\"  The interpreter then turned to the  lodge and Baid, \"Him say, \"Two  I'clock.\"  WHAT III!)

Tho bigger one  'clzed a great stick and brandished  It. I fell that he was going to knock  the other's brains out, and I Jumped  n between them,\"  Tho family had listened with rapt  attention, and as the head paused, In  his narrative, the young heir, whoae  resreot fcr his father'B bravery Is  mmrcstirable, proudly remarked:  \"He couldn't knock any brains out  tt you, could ho, father?\"  The head of the family gated long  nnd earnestly at the heir, aa If to  Meet evidence of a dawning humor's!;'hut. ns the youth continued with  great Innocence to munch his bread  ,ind butter, he gasped and reBumed  his tea.  Race Dying Ont.  Thero I? at least one native race  that is not dying out. This Is the  Maori, of New Zealand. According  to statistics obtained In the census of  Mimris taken In last March, the total  native population of'New Zealand Is  Fa Id to be 40.350, an Increase for five  years of 1617 In addition there ara  215 Maoris on the Chatham Islands.  It Is a matter of difficulty to ascer-  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdaln the number of half-castes living  at Maoris. Probably all half-castes,  and a large proportion or the Maoris  as well in the South Island, now live  In European fashion, The health of  lhe natives has been generally good.  There has been a great advance In  the observance of sanitary laws, and  the Maoris nre beginning to realise  that the excessive'mortality amongst  ihe.lr children has Leen due to un-  uaultary conditions.

The  many months of very dry weather  has permitted nearly all the creeks  to run dry and there is very little  water now running into the lake,  with the result that it has reached  a very low level. The dredge crew  have raised and narrowed the spillway in the controlling bulkhead al  lhe outlet. This will, of course,  make it impossible for the dredge  to again enter the lake until the  fiow in the river greatly increases.  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdSummerland Review.
