Raspberries are moving now almost in mid-season quantity, and with a little rain this week will be a fine yield. Some of the picker:* are taken to and from work by auto by Mr. Pochin. Creston School District had a banner anhuai meeting on Saturday evening last, the attendance about doubling the seating space of the room with many ladies in the audience. In addition to the crowd there were several lively features, including a demand for the resignations of Trustees Ghemngton and Crawford, because the Mercantile Co. had sold goods to the school board ; and another resolve demanding that ex-Principal Broussoa be reinstated, both of which motions were well supported. After these features had been railroaded through H. Lyne and W. P. Stark introduced a motion to adjourn indefinitely, but as only one item of the regular school meeting business had been attended to, the meeting decided to carry on. Chairmau Cherrington of the trustees opened the meeting with a few introductory remarks and asked that a chairman for the meeting be named, those present choosing W. S. Watson to preside. With him installed the meeting had a'very businesslike appearance. To his right was C. F. Hayes, secretary of the meeting, while to Mr. Watson's right was Trustee Cherrington and" Treasurer Jackson with auother table to accommodate the board's papersï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½financial and otherwise. , The meeting unanimously elected F. H. Jackson to another three-year term as trustee, and Dr. Henderson was.chosen auditor, also by acclamation. The report of the trustees >y.as adopted with little or no discussion, but some' items in the treasurer's statement were minutely criticised. The scrutiny of the accounts revealed that the board had purchased an outfit for teaching chemistry at $69 which druggist Oatway claimed he could have supplied for about $30.

This matter will be taken up with the authorities at- Victoria, Ex-principal Brousson suggested the purchase of three more chicks but the matter dropped there. The trustees schedule of salaries for the year were finally adopted. Some objection was made to ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½*.:* all at once jump of $20 in the pay of the principal and vice-principal but the gathering finally adopted the schedule as follows: <!.

Tins is due to thc extremities to -which German occupation has reduced the country. Iu addition, at least one Belgian is executed daily by thc German authorities; according to a statement just issued by she Belgian legation, " as follows: "Not taking into account the losses on thc field of battle, Belgium has suffered heavily in its civilian population through .the invasion and occupation of its territory by the Germans. "Durhig the invasion of August- September, 1914, we know the number of victims to be well over 5,000. For thc following provinces wc have approximate estimates: Namtir, more than 1,800; Luxembourg, about 1,200; Liege, more than 1,000; Brabant, 897; Hainaut, about 300." Among the deportees the mortality resulting from privations, ill treatment and underfeeding, exceeds I urana Fleet is Ready for Battle now tfte tinemy carried on it's ^ Work in Russia and Italy"'" Evid'c'mrcs continue to accumulate of the poisoned propaganda still carried on by Germany,, and that therefore calls for an offsetting one of truth. A:rWï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½shington despatch, dated March 11, 1918, says: One of thc most potent means by which the morals of thc Russian army and people have been undermined has been by systematic work in propaganda among Russian prisoners. Like most other German activities, this has been highly organized, and it shows greater psychological insight than ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½man3* of the German methods. It is quite as unscrupulous aud unrelenting as the measures by which the Germans crushed thc physical powers of their prisoners." The article then proceeds to describe a Russian illustrated paper, printed in Berlin, which was industriously, circulated in the Russian- army, barracks and prison camp. Thc prisoners read it since they had nothing else to read, and thcy fell under the spell. It was circulated to produce feelings of gloom, hopelessness, homesickness and thoughts of dear ones at home. Thcy pictured the life of the lowly Russian people as it is affected by war; it laid emphasis on the poverty everywhere, the sick, hungry children, the sobbing mothers, the wan cripples neglected by all and begging at the cross roads and in the streets. There was never a cheery line to be found *T1 A ***RWWWr**ra Ba !H "U* gk.~M B B ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½HIi!ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½P IlAlnES) OF ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½1 t -*1P tup m SB i". _?ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½*ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ BB YET AFFECT TO TREAT IT WITH CONTEMPT mints "Thc Germans can have a. battle whenever thcy want it. The strength of the grand fleet has been well maintained. Some of thc finest battleships of the United States navy are now associated with it. They are largely the normal percentage of deaths. Some, too, have" met death) with the "submarines, as well on the battlefield, where thc Gcr- mines and bombs. mans forced them to do auxiliary work. "The electrified wire which makes tlie. Belgians prisoners in their own country, accounts for a great number of victims, especially among young people who try to escape in order to join thc army or among couriers who try to smuggle news in or out of Belgium. In less than a year, between August, 1916, and July, 1917, 160 persons had been electrocuted. Since then thc average number of victims has increased, owing to the strengthening of thc guards, -and thc putting up of new wires. "The. death penalty pronounced by the German military courts for crimes-of patriotism levies a heavy toll on thc population. It is estimated that each day one Belgian at least suffers thc supreme penalty.

"A regular epidemic of introspective rca- *s*oning swept over thc country." "Are we really as bad as they make us out to be?" a German general asked of Schrcincr. The latter, a Boer, replied that thc violation of Belgium and the sinking of the Lusitania had been mistakes, aud that the Germans were reaping the harvest they sowed then. A similar question was put to Schrcincr by General von Falken Its tenor was always the same: Ger-'hayn, thc former German chief of not only splendid fighting ships, but j Italian troops they arc well officered and manned. The conditions under which the Germans would engage us, therefore, are less favorable for them than two years ago.".

This official publication states that: "Canada's contribution during the last year has been very striking. Fifteen per cent. of thc total expenditure of thc ministry- of munitions in thc last six months of the year was incurred in that country. She has manufactured nearly every type of shell from the IS pr. to the 9.2." "In the case of thc 18 pr. no less than 55 per cent, of the output ' of shrapnel shells in the last six. months came from Canada, and most of these were complete rounds of ammunition which went direct to France. Canada also contributed 42 per cent, of the total 4.5 inch shells, 27 per cent, of thc 6-inch, and 2(3 per cent, of the "8-inch, and 16 per cent, of thc 9.2-inch. In addition, Canada has supplied shell forgings, ammunition components, propel- lants, acetone, T.N.T.,. aluminum, nickel, nickel malte, airplane parts, agricultural machinery and timber, besides quantities of railway materials, including no less than 450 miles of rails torn up from Canadian railways, which were shipped direct to France." During the pro sen t year the call lias been largely _ for 6-inch li.e. -dulls, and Canadian plants arc responding with an output which rep- nsenis oyer -10 per cent, ol* the l'rili*di program for this sized shell. ,l 11,10,1 Hi1! ili;.i!-, I i ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½.

"To increase the infection thc Italians in thc trenches were subjected to a paper offensive in thc form of myriad manifestos purporting to convey important items of news to the soldiers. These mendacious projectiles were shot from guns iu the form of great shells, which broke on concussion with the earth and scattered them broadcast; thcy were dropped by airmen. The lies they told were stupid enough, but they attacked the Italian in his weakest point which is national orido. Chiefly they referred to the highhandedness of hypothetical British and French troops in Italian towns. They told of anti-war uprisings in a score of Italian cities. An entire illustrated pamphlet was dedicated to the Anglo-French oppression iii Italy, "the most recent British colony." -j~ Had it not produced its little effect, this sowing of lurid fantasy and lies would seem but a wild theatrical <jxtravanganza.

Prussian Conception of Duty The Doctrine Is Amazing in Out- Western Eyes "Field Marshal Baron von dcr Goltz,ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½thc old pasha," according to Brand Whitlock in Everybody's Jot- May, "came to Belgium announcing the doctrine, amazing in our Ave stern eyes, that the punishment for hostile acts falls not only on the guilty but on thc innocent as well. "I'or forty ycars the writers aud thinks of Germany had been a work upon this theory. "For forty ycars these, doctrines were dinned into the German ear; pamphleteers, novelists, soldiers, statesmen, . scientists, professors, theologians and pastors, all preached them. The army became, the avatar of the state. Fvory man is in the army, and there is but one law, one duty, one principle, one religionï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ obey. Thc. private obyes the corporal, the "corporal obeys the. sergeant, the sergeant obeys the lieuteant, _ the captain, and so on up the scaffolding of the mounting giades, until all power, authority, all privilege, is vested finally in the generals, the field marshals, and lhc general staff. I'ashirs esist only to assure them of the approval of the Teutonic God, professors to write, learned justifications of their crimes and scientists to invent new methods of destruction." taff. "Hc, too, failed to understand why thc entire world should have turned its thumb against thc Germans." General von Elstermann and General von Dclmansingcn, who took part in the Roumanian operations, also inquired why the Germans were so cordially hated. Von Dclmansingcn's comment is significant: "It seems that there is nothing we can do to make ourselves respected. I am one of those Germans who would like to be loved. But that seems to be impossible. Very well! Wc will sec! Wc will sec what the sword can do. When 11 race has come to be so thoroughly detested as we seem to be, there is nothing left but to make itself respected. I fear that iu the future that must be our polic3r." Mr. Schrcincr says he believes that von Dclmansingen spoke for the army without knowing it. What he said was the attitude of the vast majority of officers and men. Baron Buriaii, the Austro-Hungarian minister of foreign affairs, -who is a Magyar, spoke freely of thc world hatred for the central powers, but affected to treat it with contempt. "What difference will it make in the end whether we are called barbarians or not? Let them talk!" Dr. Zimmerman*., then undcr-secretary of state for foreign affairs, admitted that the Lusitania affair was a bad blunder, but pleaded that it had not been the intention to torpedo thc ship in a manner that would cause her immediate sinking. ' Thc hatred of Germany he described as a mania. "Thc world must have someone on whom it can pick." During thc Boer war. he said, Great Britain was thc victim. During the. Russo-Japanese, war it was Russia. Today it,,was Germany, and tomorrow it "would be somebody- else. Teutonic statesmen and soldiers apparently realize that they have sinned beyond forgiveness, but they have a belief, frankly revealed ov General von Dclmansingen, that a military victory will win them a respect founded upon fearï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½thc only kind of respect thcy can now hope for. This vicious mood demands the continued use of the atrocious and illegal methods which have earned Germany the detestation of humanity. But it is well that Germans feel the accumulated weight of thc woi-ld's indignation. Thc morale of the people cannot always resist the pressure of this enormous moral force. In thc end thc masses must demand a reckoning of the leaders who have brought this punishment on their heads.ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½Toronto Globe. Urge Prompt Action Immediate Allied Intervention Necessary to Combat German Grip Thc London press in general is urging the necessity of allied intervention of a prompt nature if what is alluded to as the rapid strengthening of the German grip on Russia is to be successfully combatted. The newspapers refer to Lord Robert Cecil's house of commons remarks as the accumulating indications of the inability or unwillingness of the Bolshcviki to resist the German penetration, and in some instances thc advocates of intervention reiterate the earlier pleas for allowing Japan to act. The insistence upon japan's disinterestedness is renewed, as is- Japanesc loyalty to the alliance. The Daily Telegraph concludes thc article with these lines: "The statement at Tokio has made it quite clear that ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ they have no covetous aims. In order to support the general policy of the allies and especially to protect Siberia from Teutonic rapacity.

This increase, although partly due to increased prices, is not altogether so, for a greater quantity of fish has been produced, in spite of the fact that the tisual big run of sockcye salmon in the Frazer river district, which was due in 1917, did not materialize, so that thc pack of this grade of salmon was only twenty-five per cent, of an ordinary year.

In the past annual school .meetings have invariably had to wait half an hour for crowd enough to open proceedings with. To obviate this we last week pointed out to good citizens that it wa& their duty to be on hand on these occasions. Saturday night there was a crowd that almost doubled the seating capacity of the room. These conversant with the situation were not, slow to realize that the word that had been passed around, "Be sure to be at the meet- in*?," had been heeded generously. The very first motion submittedï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ moved and seconded by two gentlemen who had not graced a school subaltern, follows a broadside that, when the few stray grape shot had spent themselves, was discovered to be merely a demand that as how Trustees Cherjgjngton and Crawford had contravened Part VII. of Section 10, subsection 4, by soiling goods to the school, their seats at the school board should be declared vacant forthwith, and without fur (Eftt WM m 9m * ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ WM W ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½mpi ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ er form or ceremony would have hung the culprits first and tried them afterï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½and this depise the gallant head's just-previous blatant bray for justice (for Mr. Brousson). Why Discriminate About now the meeting began to wise up some. Why this unseemly haste to behead Cherrington and Crawford? The newly-elected trustee, F. H. Jackson, had also sold goods throughout his just-expired three-year term? True Mr. Jackson was not now in business, but surely a crime committed in January is still a crime in July if not atoned for ? However, Trustee Jackson having only been on his new term half an hour, and we need him in this business, Brigadier Moore (again we presume) decided Everybody's doing it; putting up more fruit this year than ever berore. We know it from the heavier-than-usual demand for Sealers. How about you 1 If you are going it stronger than ever, too, your stock 0f last year's jars will never be enough.

Mr. Jackson could await to the fact that a little prepared ss C.F.B, License 8-21820 General Merchant ness had not fallen down entirely. Blessings and Curses With the completion of the secretary's reading of the trustees' reportï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½even before the usual motion to consider the matter had been offeredï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½the fat was in the fire and a few minutes sufficed to show that, for a part of the meeting at any rate, the ratepayers were to be treated to blessings for Brousson and cursesï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½and crucifixion if possibleï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½for Cherrins-ton and Crawford. At the start the Broussonian offensive moved with ail the smoothness of a political machine. After the customary oratorical bombardment directed largely-by Mr. Henry Lyne and Mr. Charles Moore, out hops a resolution demanding tiie reinstatement of Mr. Brousson. Despite the usual custom of voting by show of hands, for some occult action of the same sort later on, aity were imposed-as magistrates sometimes doï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½said trustee might i%w f x~ 4**-k % v*I m-r vt t%0 mKUIkm S_Jr ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ ** Ol *T >*-M.*Z>mJ **I orti*l fir! jï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ "W V* 4- 4m ~4 J~ which would cost him his seat may- bea, along with a tine up to $500.00 or thirty days hard. But why worry over the possible loss of a trustee and thereby jeopardize the success of the close-formation drive now well under way. Again the ballot was demanded, j and with a little electioneering by Lieut. Lyne, who exhorted all and sundry to mark their ballots "For" ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½and the erring trustees had cut the hostile vote down to 40 to 8. The Crowning Infamy This would appear to have completed the day's pre-arranged oarn- prign for here we have the brigadier's commjad. Cease Firing! in the shape of a motion to adjourn the meeting indefinitely, the detail of naming a date to resume hostilities, for good and sufficient reasons, not being attended to. This motion, of course, revealed the real purpose of the fire-fast-and-follow-up tactics of the distinguished leader. At this juncture the ordinary taxpayer called a halt. In a few words .Tames Compton explained that the meeting was not staged wholly for the purpose of singing the praises of Mr. Brovsson even by such talented vocalists as basso prof undo Henry Lyne. Mr. Compton assured the vaudeville stars that the meeting was to a d^rrreo concerned with voting money to run a school with, and that unless proceedings wore concluded and a request got on to Victoria their precocious principal might have a long wait for his July pay cheque, to say nothing of a possibility of thc schools not opening as per schedule. Thih counter attack found tho invaders' outposts asleep on duty, ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½tjiid before the high command could rally hm hitherto all-conquering forces the meeting had settled down to thc real business of thc annual <;<mum, v a-. to have it by ballot. With nothing whatever said as to who might legally vote ballots were handed men, women and girls alike. By a show of 50 to 2 the outer fringe of trustee trenches were taken, and with some acclaim Mr. Brousson was "urged" to come out and review operations so far, to say a "few" wordy a* to his satisfaction I the peei-lesR baritone, Charles supplements.

This impression is quite incorrect. No date has yet been fixed lor eallmg upon such men to so report for duty, nor has the question been brought^ before the Cabinet for decisioit. In view of the need of labour on the farm, it is most unlikely that consideration will be given to the matter until after the harvest is over, although of course the Government's action must be determined primarily by the military situation. There is no further obligation incumoent upon young men of the ages above mentioned who have registered or who do so hereafter, until they receive notice from the Registrars. Harvest Leave. " Some enquiries have been received as to the possibility of granting harvest leave to such troops as may be in the country at that time. No definite assurance can be given on this point as advantage must be taken of ship?? as they become available. On the other hand, harvest leave will be given if at all possible. Leave of Absence on Grounds of Extreme Hardship. ,xt is desired that the Regulations respecting leave of absence in eases of hardship should be widely known and fully understood. Such leave will be granted in two cases:ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ (a) where extreme hardship arises by reason of the fact that the man concerned is either the only son capable of earning a livelihood, of a father killed or disabled on service or presently in service overseas, or in training for such service, or under treatment after returning from overseas; or the only remaining of two or more brothers capable of earning a livelihood (the other brother or brothers having been killed or .disabled on service, or being presently in service overseas, or in training for overseas or under treatment after his oi* their return from overseas); brothers married before 4th August, 1314, living in separate establishments and having a child or children not to be counted, in determining thï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½j fact that the. man is the "only'* remaining son or brother; (b) where extreme hardship arises by reason of exceptional circumstances such as the fact that the man concerned is the sole support of a widowed mother, an invalid father or other helnless dependents. It is to be noted tha-t in. *vl! theee cases the esoverninp* factor is not hardship, loss or suffering to the individual concerned, but to others, that is, members ol liis family or those depending upon him. Procedure to obtain leave of absence. A simple system for dealing with these cases has been adopted. Forms of application have been supplied to every Depot Battalion and an officer of each bifcluilior*. hr.c bcrn detn!!<**i wW<* *h.ly it iï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ to *nve them immediate attention. The man concerned should on reporting to his unit state that he desires to apply ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ lor leave of absence on one or more of the ground-* mentioned and his application form will then be filled out and forwarded to MiHtia Headquarters, Ottawa. In the meantime, if tho case appears meritorious, thc man will be pi von provisional leave of absence for thirty days so that he may return home und e>.ni.imu; civil occupation while hir> caw*. ii> being filially disposed of.

"But I'll promise to keep thc thing dark until you give the word to cough it up. Let's have a drink to bind the bargain." But Morgan excused himself. The dawn was stealing through the closely-drawn window draperies. He was tired and wanted a few hours between the sheets, hc said. He had no sooner gone than with a merry laugh Laura Gaspard stepped into thc alcove from a fold in the curtain. "Sir Anthony, do let me be your pal for that ride,'1 she begged. "I did not mean to listen, but I heard enough to make mc long to - hear more. It ought to be simply lovely. You arc sure to pull it off." Thc young man looked down at the challenging beauty of the girl. It did not move him in thc least, for a sweeter and gentler face, far from this fevered atmosphere, claimed him. But the offer, considered on its merits as a means to -winning the wager, was not to be despised. Laura already knew the details of his bet. If he took her as thc witness for ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½whom Morgan stipulated hc wouid not have to be accompanied by some siiale friend hi whom he would have to confide. And Louis Gaspard's If only I might say damn!" the curate murmured as he propped his machine against the hedge and passed through a wicket gate on to the miniature, lawn. Thc dower house occupied one of the most delightful spots on the Cornish coast. It was sheltered on its landward side by a timbered ridge, while from its quaint latticed windows the view of .the ocean was ever changing but always exquisite. By walking to the. end of-.the* garden, which was also the brink of thc cliff, one could look down three hundred feet to a cluster of whitc-walled dwellings whose hardy denizens lived by their toil on the sea. Thc fishing village on the shore, tho. great mansion on the. height, and thc elderly gentleman whose querulous presence had so annoyed the curate, all boasted thc same name. The village was the village of Com- lyn, the mansion was Comlyn Court, and thc pessimist in the cane chair on thc verandah was Mr. Archibald Comlyn, nominal lord of all these messuages and tenements. Nominal only, in thc evil days which have fallen ou territorial magnates and which are squeezing them from the soil of their ancestors. Ar wc ,1 all .-r.rr-, ~r. have, "He has, as an you." Looking back in after years, thc curate realized that from that moment dated the abandonment of thc faintly flickering hope that had given him so many sleepless nights of late aud had caused him to preach so many bad sermons. Women do not.frankly profess "respect and regard" for a man who has a dog's chance with them. Thc amusing of Archibald Comlyn bade fair to be a tedious task that warm July afternoon. The dethroned squire, a gaunt, thin man with straggling grey whiskers, in whose sombre eyes there brooded a. perpetual resentment, received the visitor with an inarticulate grunt and relapsed into moody silence. Thc - good Clegg, taking a vacant chair at his side" tried to make conversation, but failing to strike a responsive chord, turned suddenly to Mavis aud inquired if Sir Anthony West was at Mordrcd Farm.

TV The Crime in the Orchid House Thc Reverend Laurence Clegg, curate of Comlyn, wheeling his bicycle -through the double iron gates into the carriage drive of Comlyn Court, glimpsed a man disappearing into thc shrubbery path which formed a short cut to the great house half a mile farther on. Thc curate was short-sighted, and for thc first five of 1hc ten seconds during which _ the figure was in view his sensitive mouth drooped with despooling came at intervals to shoot rabbits. The gall-tipped tongue of the wife of the bed-ridden rector assigned other reasons to these periodical sojourns at the ruined farmstead, Mrs. Bur- bury affirmed that Sir Anthony only came to Comlyn when he was hard up and wanted to combine, retrenchment with making love to Mavis. And truly Mavis Comlyn, the girl who rose from her father's side in the verandah to welcome the curate, was lovely enough to justify any man in seeking her gracious presence. Tall and fair, with eyes that reflected thc blue of the summer sea, she made a sharp contrast, to thc peevish parent whom she tended so lovingly. "It is one of my father's bad days," she whispered as she shook hands. "I am so glad you have come, Mr. Clegg, because presently I want to run up to thc court.

Bread is thc basis of social order. Everything that makes life endurable m times of stress depends iipon bread, i'copic have bartered their souls before uow for a crust of bread. Indeed, starvation has reached such a. point in certain districts ol Russia that members of the impoverished classes are selling their wives and children for bags of flour. Is it not essential then that va save white flour lest our aiiies __ in Europe reach such a pitch as this?^ Wc have the wheat on this continent. The United States and Canada alone are in a position to meet wheat, flour freely! It is" time for "potato flour to be given a trial in order that increasing quantities of standard flour may be saved. Hcaithy men hava horses and well-kept wagons, all of which belong to our copper-colored fellow citizens. And the lure of thc plough, or rather the hire of the profits that follow the plough, has taken possession of many of the most intelligent of the Indians in thc West, who, perhaps arc to be found chiefly in Alberta. At any rate, it is the record! of certain tribes in Southern Alberta that can be pointed to with best effect as proof of the success "Poor Lo" is making of his farming operations. In Alberta there are only a little less than nine thousand Indiansï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½not quite one-third as many as there arc in Ontario, which has thc largest Indian population of any province. The best Indian fanners in Alberta, and probably in thc whole West, arc the Blood, Peigan, and . Blackfoot bands. Let thc superintendent general of Indian affairs tell how these bands are getting on. He writes: "The Blood Indians during the _r ii.tx- i .Un:~ D^aavju jx xyiv, uy 111a.11 and without any financial aid from the government of Canada, produced 65,150 bushels of wheat on 2,606 acres, and 26,980 bushels of oats on 768 acres. They grew approximately 7,150 bushels of tabic vegetables, harvested approximately 6,700 ions oi hay and green fodder, and prepared 2,320 acres of summer fallow and new breaking for the 1917 seeding. The sale of thc grain not used on the reserve realized approximately $125,000.s" The Blackfoot Indians started farming in 1912.

Somewhere in holy writ we are also told that aii men are liars. British jurisprudence maintains that a man is innocent until he is proven guiltyt and before any such verdict shall be recorded both sides of the case must be heard. Last week (under '* A Plea for Justice" too, be it said) Principal Brousson nut with malice aforethought, however, we hope proceeded to sit in as judge, jury and star witness in the trial of an action against Trustees Crawford and Cherrington. Being the rï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½aiy disinterested citizen conversant with the school matter f rom start to finish, a statement of case is certainly due and,.we trust, will not,be , found lacking in interest even by the Broussonian extremists. Here we are: counter In the Mercantile _ store that was so depressing and *and:gn:88d. On the point of the Inspector's reports Mr.Brousson pooh! poohed! such a thing as an unfavorable report. In* clause three of his plea he says Inspectors DeLong and Calvert gave him ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½'excellent reports." . Trustee Cherrington informed him that Inspector BeLong was not in a position to give any report as he was here about the third week after school ' oqened. As to Inspectors Calvert, Trustee Cherrington said Mr. Calvert's vebal report was not a gocd one, and among other things cited the fact that Mv. Brousson was not up to expectations on literature. Here are the reports: Inspector Deliong writing a^n June cipiine is good their judgment only goes sosne fat*. They are here but half a day in the case of Mr. Delxmg. These reasons- enumerated were all submitted to Mr. Brousson, tout he would haveY'none of them. In fact toward the end of .the discussion Mr. Brousson. threatened to haye his solicitor handle the -matter-tor him later on. Jnstice'by a3V means, even at the school district's expenee. As to that Petition Now, as to this much discussed so- called Parents Petition, though really more properly called the Principal's Petition. Firstly it is dated, and, I presume, started on its rounds, on June 14th and was all signed up with seyer- al explanatory clauses attached, and vc-iiu-v for consideration ou june utii. In four daysï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½and one of them Sunday Inspectors' Reports Inspector Delioi 29th, twelve days after Mr. Brousson said he (DeLong) had given him an } mark you, this document was peddled 'ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½excellent report," aï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½iu New as to Reasons Much of Mr, Brousson's "plea" is that at the board meeting in-line he ' was unable to obtain reasons for his dismissal. Off hand two rather important reasons were given, 1. That his discipline both in the school and on the playgrounds was far from good. 2. That the Inspectors' reports were not satisfactory. To substantiate the play ground dis- " ciplineit was pointed out that'owing to the fact that one Ernest Ennerson had not- been given a little kindly attention, the bully element had made it so disagreeable for him that he had to leave school. To this Mr. Brousson's defence was that the Ennerson ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ complaint was not without some justification. At the meeting on Saturday night Mr. Brousson was more frank in the matter, stating that Ennerson ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ had been imposed upon, but sought to ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ save himself by saying that earlier in the year Ennerson had bullied the : small boys, and that when he got some of his own medicine the account was square. Are we to understand that bullying and ruffianism is winked at by Mr. Brousson so long as all hands get their share of it some time during : the term ? Soi-rt~ I^ftyT*B R.40nmg%w%m It was stated to Mr. Brousson that his disipline was faulty when he found it necessary to expel for two weeks rive boys last winter. The youths were caught smoking on the premises and instead of adï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½iiiiiisiering.pun!sh- ment that a red blooded principal would hand out in these times under the circumstances, Mr. Brousson transfers his responsibility on to the parents. In his "plea" Mr. Brousson says that "no boys were expelled." is he quibbling, under the delusion that dismissing for two weeks is not expulsion. Mr. Brousson was reminded that in the schoolroom cheating was preaval- attention had been eall- the board chairman, wulch repurfc was only obtained after an 3.G.S. caii had gone out from the trustees, says: "There is great improvement in the discipline as compared with the year previous. ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ Pupils show more interest and have made a good start in the~ majority of subjects. Botany lessons are rather interesting. In algebra pupils are quite accurate but careless about form. More careful supervision of all exercises is needed. Drawing is taught well." There's tlie report. Mr. Brousson teaches botany and drawing well, but is none too proficient, in algebra and his disipline is better than his predecessor'sï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½beautifully indefinite though by no means worthless. "What about a dozen "cither subjects. One may fairly ask why not some line on them. Surely the high school inspector's are looking into the handling of other subjects than botany, algebra and drawing. Suspicious people would say the inspector's silence was ominous seeing the teachers have a bit of a fraternity. ^ Now for the "excellent" report of Inspector Calvert which, be it said, was sent confidential to the trustees: "Canadian history well taught; geography very fair: spelling good; class backward in literature and grammar. Principal has good discipline; tone is good; pupils work" well, but are backward in some subjects. Principal's work should improve with experience with work in this proyince," Despite Mr. Broussoh's protest note Mr, Calvert backs up Trustee Cherrington as to inefficiency on literature as well as grammar. And don't miss that final sentence. These are Different Nothing like having a contrast to show up the imperfections in anything. We follow with Mr. Calvert's report on Divisions II. and IV. Here they are: Division IV. (Miss Hardman): "Excellent work is being done in this Division." T<U.a a taaj. ed" to this by hat schhilars (Vice - Principal Division is well Division II. Smith): "This taught. "J Half a. dozen words... tells a a story that cannot be misunderstood. ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½.ttention ' Why *ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½.ll the camouflage, and highfa- toitï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½and not trustees'children either. Mr. Brousson sidesteps this by saying it was trivial. When the matter was pressed home Mr. Brousson still eyad- ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ d the question by saying there was cheating in every room. Right here we haye three reasons, all told to Mr. Brousion at that meeting over the i lutin' but shallow phraseology with Mr. Brousson ? If he, too, is doing "excellent" work why not use those words and be done with. And, do not these reports substantiate the trustee:* charge that thc inspectors' reports are not good.

The document calls for Mr. Brousson's re-instatement, therefore it is essential, to haye the petition intelligently signed, that the trustees reasons for dismissing Mr. Brousson should be explained to those signing it before they could be in a position to impartially endorse the sentiments expressed in the heading. Now, then, as Mr. Brousson had not these reasons his soul so thirsted for until June 17th how could he give them out to those to whom he presented the petition. A few Qnestiosss In the handling of petitions of this sort the Canadian custom is for some friend of the party to be benefitted by the petition to do the circulating of the document. Waiving the point, however, we wouid jnsfc like to ask: 1. How many people did Mr. Brousson tackle, with the petition ? 2. Did other members of Mr. Brousson's family conduct a follow-up campaign on prospects he and his helper failed to land. 3. Did Mr. Brousson procure the signature "X" J. Koiuano?" Frank Romano declares he signed no paper. Mrs, Romano's name is Mary. 4. Is it not a fact that at Canyon City the petition was passed about by one of Mr. Brousson's scholars, and, thereiore no statement oi tne case couid possibly bï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ made. 4. Will Mr. Brousson deny that he was the only one at the school meeting when the. petition was presented ? And will he' tell us if even Trusted Jackson had any words hi commendation of this precocious document. Mr. Brousson's 'short stay in Canada ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½nay be urged as an excuse for his unbecoming aeal in the matter, but is it not a fact that, regardless of the detail ae to who peddled .the round robin, the common and manly practice in such cases is for gentlemen' who sign such papers to present the petition in person themselves, and back up their written praise by such verbal effort as is customary on such occasions. Fair Weather Friends Mr. Brousson was left absolutely alone in the presentation and consideration of this petition. None so poor as to do him reverence in a tithe of stress. Some o% them may haye been like tho disciple Peter; who "followed the Master afar off," but certainly none were within hail on this rather momentous occasion. Why ? Is there a MAN in the Valloy who would take a position that had to be gotten by a p'-i-Hor-ally-passed petition that signers thereof decline to present and back up with their presence. How the mighty are fallen when school principal's go out cap in hand, as it were. What "tone" it will add to his teaching. What could the board do but charitably order "the petition of Charles Moore and others" fyUulï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½and hope, snch unprofessional conduct would not be beard of by tho inspectors or education department authorities. Instead of traducing two trustees, rather should Mr. Brousson bo iu prayerful attitude thanking for Ids impending deliverance from tho friends who failed.

In these days of democracy does Mr. Brousson insist that those who speak well of him are to be believed on sight, while those who question his infallibility shall be classed as tattlers and grumblers? Since when has Mr. Brousson been installed us arbiter in such causes? Go from .Bad to Worse If Mr. Brousson, in an effort to saqe himself this term, will malign three children in an emergency he might attempt to similarly discredit half a dozen later on. Right or wrong the principal isn't paid public money to utilize his time raising doubts as to pupils' honesty even were he in possession of all the facts. We admit the temptation is great, but in his position such action does not tend to iniproye false to ail coh*tSer-aed not to make some statement. An Appealr~vJ-i3-i-<s Justice t^ stl means.
