SATURDAY MORNING FEBRUARY 6, 1915.\nNo. C\n[\u00C2\u00AB\n,',-\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\nI\nWoman's Institute\nMeeting\nThe regular monthly meeting of the\nWomen's Institute took place Tuesday afternoon at the Maple Hall,\npresided over by Mrs. W. B. McFarlane. A very large and enthusiastic\nbody of members and visitors were\nassembled to enjoy a highly interesting and varied program prepared\nfor the day. Proceedings opened\nwith the singing of the Maple Leaf,\nfollowed by the minutes of the January meeting being read and approved and disposal of otber business.\nThe social part commenced with an\nexcellent solo contributed by Mrs. E.\nD. Irelnnd. Mrs. H. H. McClure was\nthen called upon to give a paper on\n\"How Women May Become Self-supporting in Rural Districts.\" This\nsublet was given at the convention\nat Nelson by Mrs. McClure, who was\na delegate from tbo local Women's\nInstitute, and her apt and able manner e\u00C2\u00BBf treating it prompted the directorate to invite her to repeat the\nstlbject for the benefit of the members, wbo thoroughly appreciated it.\nAt the conclusion of her remarks,\nMrs. McFarlane suggested the paper\nshould be printed in the local press,\nthe matter being a weighty one with\nwomen generally. Appended is the\npaper:\n\"How Women May Become Self-supporting in Rural Districts\"\n\"At first glance one would tbirt:\nthis an easy subject, but the more\nyou ponder on it the broader it becomes,\n\"Before deciding what line of work\nto take up it wiil: greatly depend upon the individual woman herself.\nSome would be in tbeir element when\nengaged in out-do3r occupation, while\nothers would be like a fish out ot\nwater. Many think there is nothing\npays like keeping poultry and tbere\nare many instances where women\nbave made a splendid success at sucb\nwork, but cne does not want to get\ncarried away with the idea that there\nis no work connected with it, for it\nis a case where eternal vigilance is\ntbe price ol success. One a'so need?\nto taVe into consideration the size\nand proximity of the available markets, for much better prices can be\nobtained in the larger centres than in\nsmaller places, and if one has to\nship any distance it greatly- reduces\nthe profit.\n\"Then there are many who would\nnot make a success at poultry raising, and yet would do well at the\ngrowing of small fruits and vegetables, both of which prosper in tbls\nprovince. Our local markets are for\ntbe most part well supplied with early vegetables, but one may do well\nby growing tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, cabbage and celery for the\nprairie markets where there is a good\ndemand and these are things which\nwill ship to good advantage. In the\ncase of small fruits, such as strawberries, raspberries, gooseberries, red,\nwblte and black currants, ill these\nyield splendid returns for the labor\ninvolved. Both of theso I have mentioned1\u00E2\u0080\u0094poultry raising and tbe growing of small fruits and vegetables-\nrequire a great deal more of manual\nlabor than many women would care\nto i undertake unless she has the business ability to make things pay sufficiently well to have the bard labor\ndone by hired assistance.\n\"But there ia another enterprise\nwhich haa been largely overlooked by\nwomen seeking means of self-support\nand yet it requires much less labor\nand gives greater returns for the\nContinued on Page Two.\nKnights of Pythias\nOne of tbe best and most interesting evenings was spent In the Knights\nof Pythias Hall last Tuesday, the. occasion being the installation of the\nofficers for the ensuing term.

Early in the\nevening the crowd begnn to gather,\nend by the time the tirst event of\nthe evening, the girls' game, commenced the overflo.v crowd necessitated the placing of seatB on the basketball floor.\nThe girls' game was cn a par with\nthe program ifor the rest of the evening. The \"Hicks\" an.l \"Macs\" were\nthe opposing teams, and their playing time and time afan awake enthusiastic outbursts from the audience. The Play was fast and furious\nand at half time only one po'nt separated the rivals, the \"Hicks\" leading 4-3. Tho same equality was\nshown through the second ha'f wh:n\nthe whistle blew the tired \"Macs\"\nled the equally tired \"Hicks\" by one\npoint, the final score being 9-8. The\ngirls showed skill at the game that\nsurprised the on-lookers, many of the\ngoals scored being of a sensational\nnature. All starred, the scorers being Lilly Turn?r and V.

The\nteams started off with a rush, each\nbasket in turn being bombarded and\nonly the sterling work of the opposing sides kept the score down. The\nrivalry of the players showed in their\ninclination to rough it in tbe first\nhalt considerably witb the result\nthat fouls were numerous. At the\nend Oi this period the score stood 11-\n10 in favor of the Stags. Tbe second half started off just as fast but\nthe Stats found th?ir scoring eye\nand soon drew ahead, but not without a struggle. The pace was stren-\niiois but the players did not let up\nand were going faster at the finish\nthan when the game b'gen. At full\ntime th? Stags led 26-17.

Mr. Ross has made\nmany BPlend d addresses and speeches\nduring his career In parliament, but\nnever before has he been so overwhelming iu bis arguments, so forceful in his statements. There was no\nattempt a* 8\" apology for his department. Ou th: contrary a perfect\nwillingness to let the entire truth be\nknown so tbat the people might\njudge fairly on the policy pursued by\nhis department. He did rot indulge\nin flights o: oratory, but like the\nsurgical specialist laid bare the cold\nfacts on record. There was no mincing of words, no Macedonipn cries of\ndistress. He did not hesitate to declare tbat it was a condition, not a\ntheory, that . con'ronts tbe Government, the province and the people,\nthi san:e condition tbat is confronting every civilized land today, and he\nexpressed the earnest belief that the\nland uolicy of the government was\nendorsed by those' who were familiar\nwith the fact and not controlled by\ni'OlitiCfl views.\nMr. Ross' speech was one of the\nbest made in parliament for years,\nand will give him that privilege that\ncomes to every statesmen who meets\nthe critics of his party with a reply\nthat is fair and clear, absolutely devoid of personalities, partisan bitterness or cheap subterfuge. It is a\nspeech that should be read by every\nman in British Columbia, as it is a\nmost valuable addition to the land\npolicy of the province. Mr. I Ross\nstated that he was inclined to btelieve\nthat the criticisms of the last few\nyears was due more to the success of\nthe policy pursued by the department\nrather than failure. The ten years,\nfrom 1905 and ending 1914, the government had consented to a sale of\nover 5,000,000 acres of land and the\namount received in cash from these\nsales was $12,500,000, and it was to\na large extent, the receipt of this\nmoney that had enabled the government to give such an impetus to the\nprogress of thc province and prosperity to the peort.e. Mr. Ross said\nthat tbe big land boom was due\nmore to the caprice of the public\ntban to any legislation by the government. In 1905 tbe land Bales were\n55,000. In 1906 22S.000 acres. In 1909\nthe first appearance of tbe land boom,\n645,000 acres were sold, and in 1910,\n2,000,000 acres were sold. But in 1911\nprices advanced to $10 and $15, and\nthere were 900,000 acres EOld. In\n1912 cnl.v 200,000 acres were Bold. In\n1913 there were 42C.000 acres and last\nyear only 45,000 acres.\nThese I'g ires fully met tbe argu-\ninmts of the opposition, since only\n22i,000 acres were told in 1906 when\niand was practically one dollar with\nDO reserves. Yet in 1909 with thc\nprice increased 150 per cent, and\nnu n,- reserves made t;45,000 acres were\n80ld\nobject of that time wns to make the\nBtaker Of the land make an iillliliivit\nas there had i been some frauds discovered regarding previous staking.\nThe official figures on arrears ol principal were about $9,000,000.

E. WattB. The one advising generous financial terms to encourage\nfarmers is akin to my ideals of Politics and I am neither a Liberal or\nConservative, but I approve of the\nPolicy of taking the best suggestions\nand the cream df thought from all\nsources for the common good. This\nis far more commendable tban wasting energies in useless or inane,stuff\nthat ma'tes one despise the modern\npress as the slave of party politics.\nThere is one thing very apparent\nthat the west must be developed\nalong agricultural lines if the great\ncities are to be maintained and earning capacity given to the great network of railways. The cities and\ntowns are developed too far ahead\nwith no corresponding agricultural\nand industrial support, tbe result is\ncrowded cities with hungry people.\nIt was a most cruel thing for thoBe\nin authority to permit people to he\ndrawn to this country by advertisements as was done under the direction of the late Minister of Public\nWorks, the H0n. Clifford Sifton, and\nhe was hailed as a clever organizer\nwbicb he would have been had he\nproperly and humanely completed his\nwork along the lines suggested by the\npetition under consideration, and in\nmy opinion there can be nothing added to improve it except'to emphasize\nthe truth that when people are attracted to a country by governments\nand by corporations, it is the duty\nof both to protect and assist tbe\nsettlers, and this should be done as\nset torth in the petition. I think\nthere would be no difficulty in getting half a million or more signatures in the west and armed with\nsuch an expression of public opin'on,\na man of strong character with ability and determination no doubt could\nget the measure passed, and the one\nwho succeeds in doing it, will do\nmore for the prosperity of western\nCannda than has ever before been attempted.

I\nhave no actual experience in this line\nof work myself, but from what I understand from the experience of others it is a very profitable business. I\nknow of one man in Ontario whose\nyield of honey for last year from 200\nhives was 20 tons which he sold at\n10c a pound, netting him $4,000. Had\nhe sold his honey In this province he\nwould in all probability have realized about doulte that amount. This\nis an instance where I see' no reason\nwhy women could not do eqjially as\nwell as a man.\n\"These things require more or less\ncapital, while many women are\nthrown entirely on their own re-\ntrict, but, alas, too often the old\nstory\u00E2\u0080\u0094n0 hei? to bc had.\n\"In conclusion I would like to say\nto all mothers, by all means, let ua\nsee that our daughters are trained\nthoroughly along some kind of work\nso that if the day should ever come\nthat ,it would be necessary for them\nto support themselves they will be in\na position to do so.\"\nMrs. J.
