CRESTOK B.C., FRIDAY, JANUARY 14, 1916 Enough of London Will See Ireland A letter from Fr.d Harry at the West Sandling Camp, dated December 14th. would indicate that the fighting is not very heavy, as he, Hogan, Haggart and Kerr, who went Overseas in ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½Tune, are still in training and not oven a rumor is going of amove into Belgium or France. Camp life is becoming monotonous, so much so that he is up against it fcr a likely place to spend his occasional short leaves from duty. He writes; I have been digging trenches to-day; yesterday was marking on the range, and will be marking to-morrow. The drafts haye been shooting lately and the old 48th do the scoring. The shooting has been none too good; nothing like the work we did at Lydd. We have a muster parade to-morrow morning. We are looking forward to some change pretty soon, and this muster parade will likely have something to do with it. Since I wrote last we have been changed from a reserve to a pioneer battalion. The name and number is the sameyet, but will likely be changed before long. The staff pioneers of the battalion have been drawing working pay, which is 50 cents per day extra, and we may draw this pay before long since now we are all pioneers. Nothing much has been done so far, and it is something nobody here knows much about as there are no pioneer battalions around here. There is one at the front, rnd one forming in eastern Canada. One thing I can tell you: Our training is being changed somewhat. It is mostly fci-enchmg and mining now. 1 was at Ashford all hist week, Hogan! Kerr and Haggart were there, too. We were handling supplies. It is about 20 miles from here, and is the base of Canadian supplies in England. We were billeted and it was sure just like a holiday. The latei- Canadian battalions to come over are at Bramshott, which is over a hundred miles from here, so it is not very likely that I will see the Creston bunch. We are all looking forward to Christmas leave. I have an invitation to London for Christmas bnt may not go. I have been there three times now, and would prefer going somewhere else. Some of the boys go to Ireland, and if I got long enough leave I think I will go there, tooï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½if I do I will write you ji letter about the trip, and mail it at Belfast. ed out that the gain was not entirely due to increased quantity handledï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ increased prices on all commodities was partially responsible.

This matter will be gone into by the directors. President Heath named Messrs.

Barring the auditor and J secretary-treasurer there were candidates galore for eyery office, and outside of the presidency, which Jas. Cook captured rather handily, the contests were quite close.

Secretary Lidgate also appreciated the unanimous renewal of. confidence shown in him. He hoped the- good feeling that existed in 1915 would obtain throughout 1916. His motto he announced would be "Industrial unity is-strength; political unity is victory." It" was announced that the increase from 3 to 5 per cent, on the margin on which the trading department handles goods . became effective on January 1st. This extra 2 per cent, is to finance the purchase of the warehouse. An immediate report from the committee dealing with this year's spray supply is hoped for at the regular meeting on tho 21st. As yet the secretary has only received orders for a half car of lime-sulphur. At the close T. M. Edmondson had some questions to ask regarding the disposal of ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ certain car of ft-ed and the matter was thoroughly and satisfactory explained. He also had a complaint to register about the Institute increasing the charge of handling goods in the trading end, which was threshed out very fully and the Institute's action in this regard approved.

A rather acute coal famine prevails in Creston right now, though a- car load of the Gait article from Lethbridge has been on the road over a week now. Postmaster Gibbs was off duty a few days this week with a rather serious attack of la grippe. S. A. Speers and Hugh McCreath were similarly indisposed for a few days. Commencing this month the Creston dependants of tho Patriotic Fund will be paid through the treasurer of the local branch. At present there are only two on the list. Creston Liberal Association at the annual meeting on Saturday re elected all the old officers en bloc by acclamation. J. W. Dow is 'presidc.r>*,-vvv:t^ W. V. Jackson, secretary. The school board has named 0. F. Hayes acting secretary during the absence from town of Trustee Mrs. Mallandaine, who left Fernie for California last week, we hear. This week the Fruit Growers Union received an order for two cars of mixed products to be shipped as soon as the weather will permit. Potatoes aro on the up grade being quoted at $15. Owing to the prevalance of la grippe amongst the members, coupled with unavoidable absence of Secretary Henderson at Sirdar, the annual mooting of the board of trade did not' materialize Tuesday night. The westbound passenger has been anywherofrom an hour to three hours late every day this week. The delay is principally due to tho cold, tho engines' steam apparatus failing to work properly Between Creston and" Moyie, on Tuesday, tho easthound lost over an hour on account of the cold dip. Water Supply is Trustees* Trouble In the absence of Mrs. Mallandaine. who is out of town for some weeks, Trustees Hurry-and Jackson were the only members of tbe school board present at the January meeting on Friday night. After the minutes had been adopted as read, the question of having an acting secretary during Mrs. Mallan- daine's absence Was discussed, and on motion C. F. Hayes was appointed temporary secretary. Letters were read front Inspector Dove, and Alexander Robinson, the provincial superintendent of education enquiring as to what action was being taken on the recommendations contained in the recent report furnished by the inspector. The. secretary was instructed to write these officials stating that all matters, outside of the water supply, Would have prompt attention as soon as funds were avuilable foi- the work. The trustees are urging the loeal waterworks company to proyide the service specified by the school inspector; in fact if the authorities at Victoria propose to take the measures outlined in their letter a service that will ensure reasonable protection in case of fire must be got by the trustees or the schools will be ordered closed until such time as it is forthcoming.

The foremost item of business was the election of officers. This matter was simplified to a, great extent as the meeting was practically agreed on the resolution introduced that all last year's officers and executive be returned by -acclamation. The mover and seconder pointed out that the best possible men had been chosen a year ago to handle affairs due to the fact that a general election was imminent. However, tho appeal to the people had been deferred until 1010. In that contingency it was felt a good stroke of business would bo dpneby keeping tho old guard on the job, and in this view the gathering concurred. The officers, therefore, are: Hon. Presidentsï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½Sir Wilfrid Laur- ior, H.C. Brewster. Hon. Vice-Presidentsï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½John Keen, H. A. Macdonnid. Presidentï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½J. W. Dow.

There was peace in the German trenches for the first time in threo days as the wave of French infantry rushed for the German trenches. Then the French guns slopped tiring lest they kill their own men- The wave had not more than 200 yards to go. Estimate the time that it takes the average man to run that distance, and you have the time it took the French soldiers to reach the wreckage which had been the German trenches and grapple with any survivors in the dugouts. In some places the wave swept on beyond the trench like the tide running up an inlet. The Germans between such forces were caught in a pair of pincers. This accounted for the prisoners, who* were taken in batches. They were surrounded by infantry with no way of retreat open to them. nUtoiicvoUr a ~* a i)it>- ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½wMi Hav_ yon .'.ever tried *lCrmvn brand'' with Blanc Mange and other Corn Starch Puddings!* They seem lo blend perfectlyï¿½ï¿½ï¿½each improves the otherï¿½ï¿½ï¿½together; they make simple, inexpensive desserts;, that everyone says are ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½'simply delicious".

A Bit of German Humor They need something to hearten them up a bit and excite their risibles in London, and so we respectfully suggest that the dispatch from Wo-ld's Berlin correspondent describing a visit to the German fleet, be widely distributed in England. "Do you think the British fleet will ever come out?'' is the question that everybody on board, "from coal- passers to the highest officers,"' asked of the correspondent. The German fleet, it appears, is waiting for a challenge. Why docs not Great Britain '"throw tho glove in the naval arena for Germanv to pick up?" The ships on which this delightful segment of. German public opinion was found are as snug as bugs in a rug under the guns of Wilhclms- haven. They are protected by mainland fortifications, by mines in the sea. and by the outlying fortress of Heligoland." They are as secure against, come-outers as a cave dweller, and designedly so. Many things have happened . while theso ships have held this ^omfoi't- ablo berth. The British licet has como out sufficiently to control the seven seas. Aside from a few submarines there is not a Gorman ship afloat anywhere except in neutral harbors and in heavily protected Gorman waters. Men-of-war and merchantmen alike have disappeared, while British flags, commercial and naval, aro soon as frequently as in peace in every ocean. With nearly all ils colonies in the ha mln of the onomy nnd its great high-sou fleer hold helplessly :t prisoner iu IIh own harbors. Germany may fairly ho askorl what kind of comic opera challenge it is a waiting.-~_Xov York Herald. Pointing out that the British army had stood all summer within a few miles of a decisive victory, Mr. Churchill in the house of commons emphasized that on no other front could an equal advance have produced comparable strategic results. "The situation is now* entirely changed," he said, "aftd if there has been any operation in the history of the world that, having baen taken, iL was worth while to carry through, with the utmost vigor, fury and sustained flow of reinforcements, and utter disregard for life, it is thar. operation so daringly begun under Ian Hamilton by the immortal landing in the Dardanelles." King George's Closest Friend The King is making a personal sacrifice in sanctioning the return to the navy of his most intimate friend, Commander Sir Charles Gust. Commander Gust, as the King's equerry for twenty-three years, has been the King's companion, serving His Majesty as Duke of York. Prince of Wales and Sovereign. The King and Sir Charles were shipmate-.; when His Majesty was Duke of York, and they wetb companions as cadets. Direct Marketing Selling Dairy Products so That They Will Reach Consumer in Fresh Condition As a rule, people get their ideas of a branch of business from the viewpoint at which they are located. If the dairy business is viewed from the viewpoint of the family living on a farm in a remote portion of the country away back from any of the trunk lines of railroads, it looks like a dull, profitless business, for in the majority of such cases the cows are indifferentlyr cared for, the amount of the dairy products is not large, and the prices paid at the cross roads dealer's place is rather small. On the other hand, the dairy farmers who live within easy access to a lively manufacturing town where there is a large number of laborers and their families to feed, there is a- good demand for all that can be produced, and at a high price. In such cases there is an urging force which calls for more products of an excellent quality. Tne rewaid for the 'abor a_,d exper.se Is prompt and generous- If the business ...is well managed in siieh localities the dairymen and their families can constantly enjoy the results of their labors to a great degree if they will. Where one lives in a portion of country too far from the consumers to deliver butter direct to them it is a good plan to get in touch with a first class dealer in afmily groceries in a large town or city and make arrangements to ship a quantity of butter once in about two weeks. The dealer prefers to get his products in such a way, because they are in much better condition than they are if they go through the hands of the four corners grocery-men and subsequently through the hands of the commission men in the city or large town. It. is an object for a dealer to be able to say that his butter came from first hands today, and consequently is fresh and in iirst class condition. s a i h is no more necessary than Smallpox, Army experience has demonstrated the almost miraculous efficacy, and hzrmlessness, of Antityphoid VaccinaUou.

S. Should Hamper Them as Little as Possible in the Conduct of the War the Gilford Pi neb or, in an address at the Aldine Club, New York, answered his own question: "Both in our own interest and to satisfy our sense of justice, what do we' in the Uniteu States most desire as tbe outcome of the war?" by saying*. "Victory for the allies, of course." Mr. Pinchot discussed the disturbance of foreign trade and tbe inconveniences to certain classes of-American business men, and this led up to his query as to the wise position for the Uniteu States to take in the matter. Answering the question: "Why?" Mr. Pinchot said: "First of all, because this is really our war; that is to say, the principles lor which it is being fought are principles for which the United States stands, and which we are interested in having jprevail in the world at large. It is to our interest as a people not to have treaties regarded as scraps of paper; not to have decency and h-umanity disi*egarded in methods of warfare; not to have militarism in the ascendant and democracy crushed. We want the small nations to be respected. It is of vital consequences to us that civilization as we know* it shall be protected and preserved against the German theory that nothing is sacred against the self-interest ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½f the strong. "If the allies win, there is no trouble in sight for the United States. We in America may then proceed, undisturbed from without to work out our own problems in our own way. If the allies win, democracy in Europe will be preserved against the encroachments of military autocracy, and the prospect for lasting peace will be at least reasonably good- But if Germany wins, the very existence of democracy in Europe will be in dan ger, and if democracy goes under on that continent it will not long survive on this one. "If Germany wins, world-wide peace will become a dream, and we "shall find ourselves compelled to use all our power and all our resources to get ready for what will then ?>e the inevitable armed conflict with Germany, a conflict which the German military rulers already are known to regard as a necessary part of their program of world control. "We are today a peaceable and peace loving nation. Nothing is more certain than that, if Germany wins, we shall be forced to transfer our first and best attention from self-improvement to self-defense, and to arm ou a scale that not even the most ardent advocate of preparedness now regards as possible. In the face of a victorious Germany, determined upon world power, we can hope to preserve our national self-governing existence only by force of arms. The victory of Germany would transform the United States also into an armed camp. "If, then, it is enormously to our interest as a nation to have the allies win, let us hamper them as little as we reasonably can in their conduct of the war. "We roust never forget that the allies are paying in blood and treasure a price beyond anything we could have imagined before tbe war began, and paying it to maintain the principles to which the government is dedicated. The allies are protecting us, with.the rest of the neutral world, from the necessity of either to arm to the teeth and fight or to yield to the control of a military autocracy whose only law is its own advantage. The least we can do is not to attempt to I tie JJieir bands." Thrilling Adventures Of English-Woman Her Escape From Belgium Was Effected by Disguise "Mrs. Malcolm Carter, an English woman of Belgian birth, v/ho arrived in New York recently, told her friends the story of how she escaped from Belgium by disguising herself in the costume of a Flemish peasant and creeping under the barbed wires on th-> Dutch -rontier. Mrs. Carter came to seek aid for Belgian soldiers who have been blinded or permanently disabled. She went from London to Belgium to visit her father, and says that her passport was taken away and torn up on the orders of General Von Bis- sing, the military commander.

Thus states Mr. J. H. Gris- tlale, director, Dominion Experimental Farms, in presenting Seasonable Hints, No. 3, for November, December, January and February, to the farming public of Canada. A careful perusal of its sixteen pages will amply reward the stockman, the agriculturist, the horticulturist, the poultryman, the tobacco grower, aud those especially interested in bees. A feature of this third issue is the advice under the caption "Shelter the Implements." The enormity of the vast sum of money spent annually on farm machinery is impossible of realization. To equip an average farm with machinery costs about $1,000, which under ordinary conditions of treatment will not do good work for more than five years. To counteract this waste, for unsheltered implements means waste, shelters should be built. A working plan of a shed 25 by 47 feet outsldo measurements is given, with directions necessary for its construction. A careful study of this plan, which, as stated, is capable of many modifications, will he helpful to those intending to build. To those, there- fove, who would have a compendium of information, which outlines many necessary fall and winter duties pertaining to agriculture in all its phases, Seasonable Hints, No. :., is available at the department of agriculture, Ottawa, Ont. Commission Gathering Data on Agricultural and Industrial Questions The. economic and development commission recently appointed is rapidly getting under way with its programme. Leading organizations interested in agriculture, stock raising, fruit growing, iDarKStmg, transportation, immigration and other matters affecting the progress of Canada, are forwarding to the' office of the commission at Ottawa statements expressing their views as to what they believe to be the greatest needs for the future. With the assistance of this information, the commission will be guided in its investigations. In order that questions requiring the consideration of technical experts may* be dealt with properly, special committees of inquiry are being appointed. It is the aim of the commission to proceed as rapidly ; s possible towards assisting in the mobilization of the agricultural and industrial resources, so that at the close of the present may be in the best possible to meet conditions. Great Life*Saver in Con- with Accidents at Sea During the fiscal year of 1915 the inspectors of the radio bureau :.: Washington reported 2(3 cases of vessels leaving United States ports which met with accident or disaster requiring the use of wireless to summon assistance. Four of these calls were due to fire, twelve to running ashore, stranding or getting into an ice jam, three to breakage of machinery, four to collisions, one to shifting cargo, one to vessel being storm- battered and waterlogged, r.nd one to being torpedoed. Except in the case of the Lusitania, whieh was torpedoed, the assistance rendered resulted in but two lives being lost.

In Ontario the Junior Fall Fair is known as the Rural School Fair. In the United States it has taken the form of societies, such as "The Corn Club Boys," "The Canning Girls," the "Baby Beef Boys," etc. In Saskatchewan the department of agriculture and the department of education co-operate in this work. The object aimed at in holding these fairs is two-fold. In the first place the children are given the educational line embodied in the work- And., secondly, the Junior Fall Fair has proven one of the best ways of linking the farming public and the department together that they may become acquainted and thus further the interests of progressive agriculture. The following is a brief outline of the work: During the spring months the agricultural secretary visits the teacher and children for the work in connection with the fair. The general details are as follows: The boys and girls of each school nominate three of their number to act as directors on the Junior Fall Fair board. After the nominations have been concluded a meeting is keld at some central point for the purpose of electing a president and treasurer. All the business and management in connection with the fair is arranged by the board of directors; that is, ! when the material supplied by the de-1 partment is given out in the spring a ! complete list is kept of the pupils re- i ceiving the same, thus when the Jun- j ior Fall Fair takes palce all products are automatically entered- It is the j duty of the president of the School 1 Fair board to sign all cheques and* have general supervision over all mat- number jters pertaining to the fair.

The Anchor liner Tus- cania responded to the S.O.S. call and took off 341 passengers in lifeboats, and the remainder were brought to New York on the freighter Roumanian Prince. The inspectors of the radio bureau stated that the report, of the Athinai showed conclusively that many persons might have been lost and the cause of the loss of the steamer never known if the vessel had not been equipped with wireless apparatus.ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ Nov.'

Report on Ross Rifle report to the board of directors, who, in co-operation with the school teachers and agricultural secretary, prepare the premium list. This co-operation of the board of directors, school teachers and agricultural secretary creates a greater interest among the boys and girls of our ! paid farms in agriculture; helps bring the ' life and interests of the school more closely in contact with the home-life of the pupil; encourages the boys and girls in a common and natural appre- ! wan, are ciation of the beautiful in nature, as ! $100 to be well as giving them something definite to do and to have something which they can call their very own. The school children carry on the work on plots at home. These plots are of a uniform size, generally 1-100 of an acre, which makes the work of comparison more simple. All seed rain, garden seeds and tubers are supplied, by the department of agriculture. Eggs are also supplied for hatching purposes. Only pure strains are S"PPï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½iek tuus r_SKing the children famiJiar with the better side of farming. The agricultural secretary visits tbe plots, of each boy and girl during the summer, scores them, and makes sug* gestions of a practical nature where the occasion warrants. This is the key to the lasting effects of-the fall fair work. The fair is held some time during the months of September and October, as suits the district in which it is to take place. The. rules and regulations are the same as any agricultural society fair, and all prize money I is paid by cheque, arrangements be- j ing made at the local banks re eash- I ing of the same. General benefits ' derived from school fair work: 1. Rural depopulation is checked. The children whose early1 impressions are lasting have not a craving for other lines of work when farming is made interesting and instructive through the junior-fall fairs. 2. A community interest is created, . thus bring people together socially, w*hich means much towards elevation. 3. Children are interested in progressive agriculture. When children become interested it is much easier to secretary interest the parents. 4. Rural education is put on a firmer footing. The boys and girls of today are the men and women of tomorrow. 5. Social advantages: (a) The training received by the boys and girls in the fail fair work wiii help them to be of greater service to the community in which they live- tb) Agriculture and other lines of education are placed on a firm, practical footing, recognizing the fact that the future of Saskatchewan depends to a ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½TGSt extent on. how well both i are carried on. i Prize money is contributed by the | municipal councils, school trustee ! boards and individuals interested in | the junior fall fair work. j An objection has been raised to ! giving cash prizes; but it is thorough- ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ ly understood that the children are j riot to compete'for the monetary value I of the prize, but for the educative j value and incentive to grow or pro- . dues some article better than other pupils produce.

Geography in Germany Bavarian Children Arc Taught Some Queer "Facts" The school authorities in Unvariu have published notes on war geography for the children attending the public schools. The following information is given regarding Russia: The Russian territory already occupied by the Germans is four times as extensive as tho Kingdom of Bavnrhi, but is only one-seventy-fifth of the entire Russian empire. But the greater part of Russia is thinly populated, and the most populous districts are already In German possession, so that Russia can now show only six- sevenths of her former population. AL lho beginning of the war, Russia had fifty million more inhabitants than Germany and Aurftro-Hungary combined; namely, 170 millions against 120 millions.

Temporal Powers Of the Papacy This is German Bait to Ensure Sympathy of the Roman Catholics The restoration of the temporal power of the papacy is tho latest bait offered by the Germans to enlist sympathy of tho Roman Catholic cause. According to a.Swiss correspondent of the Standard, Prince von Buelow'a visit to Switzerland was connected with a scheme for the restoration of papal sovereignty after lhe war. This would serve both as revenge upon Italy for her so-called perfidy to her former allies of tho Triple Alliance, and would conciliate Roman Catholic z throughout tho world. Although tho kaiser and his ndvls- ers are Lutherans, tlio Gorman press Is running a campaign, inspired by the Wilhelmstrasoe to support this proposal. Thus tho Allegemeine Rundschau, of Munich, urgo3 that the pope's supremo authority and divine mission make It neeocsary that ho should enjoy absolute freedom and sovereign independence. Tho thronr. is mndo that If Italy should prove reasonable, Germany will abandon the idea of making Homo the capital of a reconstructed papal Htjito, but if met hy refusal, Germany would Indict tho supreme humiliation upon ner oi. esuil/iisniug ine mm ul ih. pope as a novoreign in the capital of the Italian nation.

CRESTON, B.C., FRIDAY, JAN. 14 The Unnecessary EviB The annual meeting of the Farmers' Institute is now a matter of history. The various reports of the year's work, including the statement of tbe selling department, were very satisfactory and adopted with little or no comment. In fact to those presens who had not thoroughly glimpsed Mr. Edmondson, the Institute's stormy petrel, in an aisle seat, with a telltale dayhook under his armï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½pencil a-dangliug to more readily enable him to locate chapter and verseï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½it looked as if the gathering would adjoimi without even a little of the usual fireworks display. Albeit, Mi*. Edmondson was running true to form, and in addition to his daybook he was also armed with lettersï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½several fyies ot them, in fact,ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½that for hulk were almost as formidable as the portfolios at Washington containing the correspondence President Wilson has had with Germany dealing with the sinking of ships carrying U.S. citizensï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½and all stored away in a black bag of a very much John Oliver design. Mr. Sdmondson's greivanee was that the secretary had permitted storekeepers to buy feed from the Institute, and forthwith retail it at a big profit, and amongst his correspodence he had a letter bearing more or less directly on the subject. When the matter was finally cleared up it was discovered that it was a coupie of local merchants who had brought in the oar and the institute had brought in the selfsame car about six tons of bran and shorts to help make up the weight and thus oblige the firm Rolling the ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½,oDds. The explanation of t';is matter satisfied all present, including Mr. Edmondson, apparently;, aud the directors and secretary were also unanimously .sustained in their recent action of increasing the margin on which goods are sold from three to five per cent, to finance the purchase of a warehouse, though Mr. Edmondson was also agin' the government, so to speak, hecauso special notices in the matter were not sent out to all members. Had anyone suggested the secretary was responsible for the war, the heavy snowfall, the low price of vegetables, the disrespect for the Indians, the failure to have a municipality organized, or the increase in the number of hobos man have every confidence in the secretary's business ability and his business and persoral integrity ; so far as the would-be and ex-president's usefulness is concerned the reverse is the plain truth. If- this man Edmondson is to be allowed to presume on tho liberty his Institute membership gives him to give vent to, annually or oftener, what looks like personal spite in an attempt "get" the secretary or give him a "reputation" that is far from WE ARE OVERSTOCKED WITH and as we are not in a position to carry these over we will clear them out at close to cost belonging to him, it oan only be a matter of a very short time till the Institute has to part company with j jy j _/ C Sk. 1 IN J W a mighty good secretary. In J. A. Lidgate the Institute has the right man in the right place; if you heave a brick through almost any window of an institution down New Westminster way you'll hit a T. M. Edmondson. The iusitute's business affairs are too important and too well handled by the present secretary to leave him liable to even annual attacks, such as this latest, at the hands of a seemingly interested, erratic and not-alto- Cxi. , the Hudson Bay variety, going while they last.

All of whioh crouton n ttituation tliat wo tool nine the liiMlittlte will An organization which may, or may not, be the success the gentlemen laboring for its creation claim it will be, but one that should have the careful consideration of the growers in these parts, is the Kootenay-Boundary selling agency, a convention to perfect which is called for Nelson on January 20th. Dm iv.ft 1915 the policy of the Creston Fruit Growers' Union was to sell to the retailers only. So far as soft fruits were concerned this policy was adhered to pretty faithfully, but with vegetables and apples it was not found feasible, even with a salesman steadily on the road. In fact, although the 1915 crop was only normal, it was necessary to have the assistance of commission houses as well as the wholesaler to successfully dispose of the crop. In connection with the consignment business it is but fair to atate that no truck or trade with them would have been necessary, it is claimed, had carload lots true to grade of the desired varieties and quantities been available. While in theory the Eelling to retailers is productive of the biggest returns, it doesn't work out that way in actual business life, for the reason that collections are slower and hard ers to make, and the possibilities of loss through stores making assignments or going out of business is far greater. With cooperative concerns this matter of prompt payment for goods is a prime essential ; so much so that tlio grower will take a slightly lower price for his fruit if assured spot cash or even 30 day payments. In selling to responsible wholesalers specified pay days are practically assured; trading with retailers generally precludes this possibility, unless the selling agency has some surplus working capital. As wo understand it this proposed Kootenay-Boundary association will have a sellinK office in Calgary.

The local growers will be thoroughly informed of ail the details, as the local union is meeting on Saturday to select delegates to attend the gathering at Nelson.

The importance of this convention can hardly be ovtr-estiuiated; it can readily be made the turning point in our industryï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½rescuing it from the present unfortunate condition of long hours of labor without any corresponding financial reward and placing it on a more progressive, co-operative and fraternal footing and assuring a fair measure of prosperity and consequent contentment and higher regard for our calling as well as for our fellow citizens. To longer blame the other classes of humanity for our failure to make proper use of our mental capacity to reap our full share for our physical exertions in our calling as agriculturistsï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½the noblest of all callingsï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½is the height of folly. And in the fulfilment of our obligations to mankind, such as we realize them in our nation today, it is time we straightened our backs and carried our burdens erect; not as the underdog, but as the first and most important link between all classes. of humanity and the supreme laws of creation, which constitutes life and., growth in plant and animal kingdom. Tillers of the soil) I It is time we awoke from our mental lethargy and took a more active part not only in our own affairs but also in those relating to the well-being of pur fellow- men. We should indeed be a morbid class amongst humanity if we only sought selfish interestsï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½that is truly tolerab'e amongst the consuming class but not amongst the producing class. As farmers we have too much waste and too little supervision in the production and marketing of our products, ana this can only be remedied by economic business co-operation. In the working out of this we must be cautious, and not try to destrop or injure such legitimate commercial establishments as may seem to stand in our way, but, rather, try to amalgamate our interests with such responible concerns, and make use of their professional skill and experience for safe and economic distribution -amongst the consumers. ~ ' In closing let me urge you to carefully read the recommendations set forth in the call of the convention of growers to be held at Nelson on January 20th.

Kach shareholder's stock is branded with paint, or in some other harmless manner so that the animals belonging to each may be sold separately, thereby insuring to each the exact return from his stock. The associations aro simple in their working and as the animals are not paid for until the proceeds are received from the purchaser little initial capital is required. The 1-lanley Farmers' Stock shipping Association, of Saskatchewan, was the first one formed. ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½This association was registered early in n_U4. and had an authorized capital of $500, but at the close of the. year it had a paid up capital of only $42.

"I!" he cried incredulously. "I change my business policy because you ask me to!" There was something imperturbable in the quality of the voice as the girl went, resolutely forward with her ex- pia nation. "Do you' know how we girls live? lint, of course, you don't.

"1 have provided chairs behind the j counters," he stated- "But have you ever seen it girl sitting in one of them?" she questioned coldly. "Please answer me. Have you? Of course not," she said, after a liulo pause during which the owner had remained silent, Sh:> shook her head in emphatic negation. "And do you understand why? It's simply because every girl knows that the manager of her department would think be could get along without her if he were to see her sitting downï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ loafing, you know!

So vigorous was her movement that Cassidy's clasp was thrown off the wrist. But the bond between the two was not broken, for from wrist to wrist showed taut the steel chain of the manacles.

Afer deducting the transportation charges, the manager's commission, the selling commission, and other necessary expenses, aud allowing for shrinkage, the shippers received an average price of 6.3S cents per pound, home weight. The cattle shipped were all common in their classes, being bulls, dry cows and stockers. An i average price of 4.49 cents was realized in "Wmuipeg, which, after deducting shrinkage and expenses, left a net price of 4-8 cents per pound, home weight, for the shippers. Basing his calculations on prices paid in the neighboring towns, the manager estimated that the association, during the year, saved the farmers of the district upward of $1,680 on hogs alone. There are a number of these asso- ciaions, now in different, parts of Saskatchewan, and general satisfaction is being expressed with the results obtained, so that it is confidently expected that expansion along this line will be rapid.

(Tn bo Continued) George Batho to Run Agricultural Publications for Manitoba The appointment of George Batho as editor of agricultural publications for the Manitoba department of agriculture was announced recently. His duties will be to furnish farmers of the province with all the practical information which the department of agriculture and the agricultural college can supply. This form of assistance will be greatly extended in future. It has been recognized that in the matter of publicity the Manitoba department of agriculture has fallen behind all other provinces in Canada. The minister of agriculture believes that the large staff of professors and instructors at the agricultural college, tho extension service section, the demonstration farms system, the weed branch nn other departments must necessarily become the source of more information of a practical nature for the farmers of Manitoba, than, they have boon in the past. So insignificant, Juts been this work in tho past that, the Dominion authorities urged upon the minister of agriculture the appointment of an agricultural editor under the special federal grant, to the provinco for agricultural Instruction. Under this grant the new appointment Is made. Mr. Balm's marked ability ia a .ioumull.it, his sound judgment, and bin Intimate knowlorigo, not only of agricultural (.auditions but nlao of public questions in Manitoba, wore considered as making him admirably filled I.o build up an important branch lu the provincial department of agriculture. The wood question Is one of which the farm ont no_*-ti much instruction. Mr. Batho will give lhe farmorrt tho Germans Offered Charging Money and Watches A thrilling description of a-dashing charge of a Highland regiment near Loos is given in the following letter from a Scottish member of the Royal Army Medical Corps. "Our division," the letter says, "after a week of furious bombardment ot the German trenches the like of stock i which the world has never heard before, and which sounded, especially ou Friday, September 24, like several thunderstorms rolled into one, were ordered to take Loos. "A battalion of our local regiment was chosen to lead the attack. Up over the top of the parapets of the trenches they got at 6 a.m. on the eventful Sunday morning for the famous charge. Everything was still, and the Mocks' didn't run, neither did they shout, but in silence, with a slow walk, and with deadly determination written on every face to get at close grips with their diabolical enemy, the Mt.e went along in silence till suddenly the deadly German machine guns spoke. "A sheet of lead met our brave fellows, and they toppled over in all directions. Those not hit, went through this sheet (it never yet rained so hard), through the second line, and into the third line, where 'Alle- gamue' had his machine guns. Our lads were now upon them, ferocious as lions who had tasted blood and driven absolutely mad in the hellish carnage. "They were upon them with the dreaded bayonet. Terrified yells of 'Mercy, kamerad,' were heard in all directions. "Devils who a moment before had been pumping lead by firing machine guns now held up watches, purses, etc., for our men lo spare their lives. "But these grand Scottish lads of our famous regiment were not. to be stopped that day. Leaping right over the tops of the various lines of the German trenches, bare knees showing, kilts swishin, performing the so-caiied impossible task of piercing the German lines, they did not stop even then, for the Germans were out of their trenches and over the crest of the hills, great, big, fat, hulking, blue-clothed cowards, fleeing* for their lives with the Scotties after them at full tilt. ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ "Every house in ths village had its machine" guns, which wrought havoc, but that didn't stop our fellows. Into the houses they went, and soon the dead Germans were shovelled with the bayonets out through the window's into the street. After clearing the village they set off after them ! again over the open country to Hill 70, clearing the ground of the encum- berers as they went. ' 'Twas a famous victory.' But, oh, looking back, it was a sight to make angels weepï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ the fruits of scientific murder (it is not war), and that, on a tremendous scale!" Manitoba Heavy Loser and all thr Provinces Suffer Through Dry Periods Canada during 1915 lost over tec. million 'dollars' worth of forests through unnecessary lires. Iu face of the fact that the forest resources oï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ the country are within measurable distance of depletion through the enormous annual waste, the 1915 depreda- I tions are sufficient to cause grace con- 1cern. Information compiled by the Canadian Forestry Association, with the assistance of the Dominion forestry branch and provincial departments, prove that more than twelve thousand forest fires, large and small, occurred in panada during the past spring, summer and fall, or an average of 1,400 a month between snow azul snow. In Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick and British Columbia about eighty-five per cent- of the losses were due to settlers' fires. Quebec and British Columbia have secured splen- | did results from their "permit" lawsf by which all settlers arc obliged to obtain the supervision of a forest ranger before setting out their clearing fires. Ontario has no such law and has suffered I serious consequences i/.esl that the minister Cost of Living is About Average Increase in England Forty Per Cent. According to a report to the trade and commerce department, from Canadian Trade Comimssioner Bicker- dike, of Manchester, lhe average increase in the retail prices of food affecting the average working class household in England is about 40 per cent, since the beginning of the war. Compared with July, lï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½14, British meat has increased tibout forty per cent, in the whole, and imported meat only a little over live per cent. Flour and broad have advanced about forty per cent. each. Since the beginning of :_;.:in, when the movement to increase wages began, in comparison with tho increased cost of living, about four and a half million people, according to the board of trade estimates, have had their wages increased hy over $'1,750,0DO per week. These tlgurofl relate only to organized labor. In othor industries where individual employers havn granted advances, it is estimated lhat, three million workers have received increases amounting I.o $2,500,000 per wool-*. but it is recogn of lands, forests and mines has the problem under consideration and may evolve an adequate remedy in the near future. New Brunswick has already made a good start in the regulation of settlers' fires, and will probably spread the plan across the entire province. Perhaps the outstanding fact of the season's forest destruction is the absence of any serious loss along the lines of railways governed by the Dominion board of railway commissioners and their forest protection regulations. Before the imposition of these laws the Canadian railways 'were pointed out as the chief offenders in ourning Ol yoresLS. -sow, _y_.ow*ever. tha non-government lines under the board's control are annually presenting a record of lire immunity which places them permanently among the minor causes of damage to the country's timber. As a matter of fact, only two or three fires of over ten acres iu extent were attributable this year to those lines where the. system of the railway commission has been put completely into effect. On two railways of relatively small mileaget to which the board's regulations dc not apply, no less than 200 fires were reported. Many of them were serious in extent and at least 600,000 acres were burned over by fires, due either ' to locomotives or men travelling along the right-of-way of these two roads. Manitoba lost more than $1,000,000 in damage to mature timber and young growth in 191."!. The total area, burned over was 800,000 acres, according to official reports thus far received. Final reports will probably show an increased loss. The fires in Manitoba took place mainly in the latter part of May and the early part of June and were particularly destructive in the vicinity of the Hudson Bay Railway. In the province of Saskatchewan the most destructive fires took place during the same period as in Manitoba, but the tires were confined more to the areas under effective patrol and the totai destruction is not so great. The present figures indicate a total burned area of about 160,000 acret and a total damage of $170,000. Tn tho southern portion of Alberta there has been an exceptional amount of rain throughout the season so that the fires reported from tho region south of tho Peace River country antl Athabaska Landing arc comparatively small in number and covered only about 25,000 acres, on which lhe dam- ago is estimated to be about $'.l per acre. cream ol* Prof i-Mlll'l-M', tl'IIIH' Ol r i lie whole ri'lnd i bat not lliclr [Miardinn. over I hem ..In r ihey ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½| hi", an- paid t Ik- cut c!J a*i niu'li ai*, any ot ,: he '.polec lhe alt iliM'N pei'ti'd ii; |;;,V,*. .a: ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½i I ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ I.

Only two-thirds of a crop has been harvested this year in that country, and there is where he pinch comes. Ordinarily, Germany' requires three hundred thousand Poles every season to assist in its harvest. The failure this year has been due to the shortage of labor and to the unfavorable weather conditions. This has struck at the very basis of Germany's financial strength. She is now forced to pay cash for food in such neighboring countries as Switzerland and Denmark, and gradually her gold supply is being drained, leaving a smaller reserve on the strength of which paper currency may be issued- As a, result, Germany's food supply has been cut in two. Her soldiers must be fed and the people behind the trenches are forced to do without regular rations. Accordingly we are hearing of the bread riots in Berlin and the o|'fers of peace which Germany inspires with such magnanimity." This constitutes the most startling of a series of startling and informative statements pertaining to the war . recently made by Mr. Clarenco W- Barron, editor of the Wall Street Journal. He visited Europe in November of last year for the express purpose of acquainting himself with the underlying principles of the great world struggle and the articles which came from his pen following that trip have been embodied in the well known book "T;he Audacious War." It is Mr. Barron's opinion that Germany and Austria have reached the maximum in the strength of their forces in the trenches and in the utilization of their national resources. "They are at the point now," he said, "where they have no reserves." On the other hand, the allies were wist beginning to approach their maxi- mum strength. Referring to the recent Anglo-French loan, Mr Barron said that tho bonds of the allied nations were being widely sold throughout the United States. This was due largely to the sympathy of the majority of the people across the line with the allies. "The ally of the allies is the federal reserve act, combined with- our workshops and steel plants," declared Mr. Barron. "Germany realizes that the base and the backbone of this war is on the North American continent." Commerce of Neutrals Rests on the Protection of the British Navy Our government, for certain reasons which ought to be apparent to all, cannot, and certainly should not adopt an attitude on this subject which is a shade more threatening than the one it has taken, says the Boston Transcript, expressing a sane American view of the note to Britain. No doubt it must define .and confidentially assert tne ngnis of neutral nations at sea in time of war. But the big central fact remains that the commerce of all neutral nations at sea, including our own, rests for its very existence on the protection of the navy of Great Britain. But for that protection our ships would today be huddling in our harbors, our goods would be piled up on our wharves, and our factories, save for what they might make for home consumption, would be idle. The seas would be the prey of fighting squadrons and ravaging cruisers. Outrages of the William P. Frye type Avould never have ceased. This is true, and it is also true that the allied powers have the sympathy of the world in the use so far as that use is legitimate, of the one effective weapon that they possess against German militarismï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ the control of the seas. Against the terrible stress of German land preparation their means of resistance for a time fell short, and even now they avail no further than to keep the enemy at bay. To withhold supplies from the German nation is the allies' one great hope of winning the war and of defending free institutions the I History ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½f Canadian Herd of Buffalo Now Thousand x_._ij ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½Pï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½*ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½*ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½rt _hl_a V_/ U JL XX fli*'*.**^ TVTt i c*i_rï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½?ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½l ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½** -ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ _ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½.ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½_ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½_ M.O**..

Germans See They Are Not the Whole Thing v Very significant at this time is the publication in the leading Roman Catholic organ, the Kolnische Volk-s- aeiung, of a rebuke addressed by one of the army chaplains to the arm chair fire-eaters at home. He declares that many of the letters written from the homes of Germany to the husbands and sons in the field disgust and dishearten the soldiers at the front, the best of whom are tired of the bitter losses and terrible sufferings caused by the war. He denounces the habit of classing Germans as supermen, and says that the German troops at the front have learned to respect their foes so that they do not echo many of the sentiments expressed by their ultra-patriotic friends and relatives at home. The whole letter is reaiiy an appeal for less war enthusiasm and more reasonable appreciation of the point of view of Germany's foes. This, too, would have been impossibe six months a'go. It is the rise in the cost of living, and especially in the price of food, that increases more than anything else the growth of war weariness. A remarkably outspoken comment on the food question which appeared in the Socialist Vorwarts was as follows : "One of the most dangerous deceptions perpetrated during tho war is the pretence that Germany, although cut off from all her oversea supplies, can feed her own population. The fact is that the population of Germany cannot be properly fed by products of our own country. Tha war has proved beyond all doubt that it is impossible to produce enough articles of nourishment or to raise a sufficient number of cattle to feed the German people without foreign assistance. It is true that we shall he able to hold out for some limited time, but only at the cost of the health and strength of the nation, now being undermined by systematic deprivation and underfeeding." Totals Over Two Pure Bred Bison The Canadian goyernment buffalo herd was started in 18D7 by the gift cf three Texas buffalo presentad by Mr. T. G.BIackstock, of Toronto, to Rock Mountain Park. These animals were placed on exhibition in the paddock at Banff, and the following year their number was increased by a similar gift from Lord Strathcona, who presented the government with thirteen head from his Silver Heights herd at Winnipeg. This herd gradually increased until by 1909 it totalled nearly 100 head. In 1906 the government entered into negotiations with Michael Pablo, of Montana, for his herd of pure blood bison on the Flathead Indian reserve. This herd was known to be the largest herd of pure blood bison then in existence but was not believed to number more than about 300 head. Pablo had for years tried to get the American government to give him enough land on which to keep the herd and at last they announced that the Flathead reserve wae to be thrown open, which meant that Pablo would ! be forced out and compelled either to find a new range or a purchaser for the herd. Howard Eaton, the well known guide and friend of Theo. Roosevelt, heard of the matter, and secured an option from Pablo for $300 per head. He then went to Washington and tried to get the U.S- government to buy the herd. Roosevelt and the Bison Society urged the ptirchase but congress refused to pass an appropriation and Pablo had to look somewhere else. Through Alex Ayotte, immigration agent at Missoula, the matter was brought, to the attention of the Canadian government which realized the opportunity offered.

It was supposed that there would be about 300 buffalo, but the total finally captured amounted to 708. The price paid was $250 per head, f.o.b., at Edmonton. The task of rounding them up proved much more difficult than was anticipated. It called for perserverance, endurance and horsemanship cf the highest order. The buffalo were extremely wild and swift of foot and could outrun the fastest horses. The first year, 1907, 400 buffalo were securedï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½200 males were shipped in the spring and 211 cows and calves followed in the autumn. As it! had not been possible to get Buffalo Park fenced and ready in time. for these arrivals, they were placed in Elk Island Parkï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½a fenced enclosure, 16 square miles in area, established several years before for the protection of elk and moose. There are still know nto be a large number of buffalo left on the range and although Pablo now had many other offers he agreed to let the Canadian government have the remainder at the sacne price. In the autumn of 1908, therefore, another round-up was made, and eight miles of wing fence and a large corral were built- After six weeks haro riding the animals were all rounded up and the tired cowboys went home to sleep. That night, led by an old clever bull, the entire herd escaped by climbing an almost perpendicular cliff and broke away to the mountains. The next year Pablo decided to put them in huge wooden cages out in the range and to haul these cages the thlrtv miles to the station. There they were" unloaded into a small corral to await shipment. Tho last and final struggle then occurredï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½that of getting them on board the train. The great brutes resisted to the last.

The announcement specifically denies the report that a revolt has broken out anywhere in India, or that Brunmlns. Buddhists and Mohammedans have united to mako difficulties for the "detested British," as stated from German sources. Denial likewise is given to the assertion that tho Itojah of Bhagalpur has headed any uprising, or that grave disorders already have occurred in Bombay. Madras. Nugpur, Ala- habnd, and Mnspui*. or that rebels havo interfered with tho departure of native troops, causing the British troops to retire nnd subsequently occupying their barracks and arsenals.
