AGASSI/, WINS HARD FOUGHT BASKETBALL GAME FROM MISSION One of tim largest crowds that ever came out tu a basketball game In AgnsHiz were rewarded by a hard- fought thrilling encounter between Agassiz and Mission Inst Saturday. Hard checking by both teams featured tho play, and there was very little opportunity for open play. In fact, in the first half only flv0 basket?, were scored, Agassiz leading af- te*.' the firHt twenty minutes 6-4. After tbe interval, the play opened up a little, and Agassiz, who up to this time had shown very little combination, began to get In some team work, which netted them several baskets. Mission tried hard to equalize, tut Agassli with another spurt forged abead, an(* nt the end of the game lo.l 22-14. ! |i |^H For the local boys, Lyall Whelpton with 18 points, and Ken Eoltert at centre, starred, while Angus MacLean was the Pick of the Mission team. In the opening game the Public School girls again took the count of the H.gh School girls 10-8. As the score Indicates, It was a very even contest, tho Public School having a little edge on the High School in speed and shooting. The High School girls are coming on wonderfully, and with a little practice will soon be making the Puli- llo School step to guard their laurels. I.O.D.E.

British Empire Preferences The lOKetlll rather tliu lack nl - (ti constunl won*) i's seem to labor ,111 saving Ibu Empire li mi belli tlir Diillsll Erar, haul und Fasl couslitutlonnl obligations, tire a some people anil a tew newspaper anil mngazln a delusion tbat lo tbeni baa been enli'iisli'il tbe i Bpeetly dissolution, itin- group advocates tbe creation ol1 an Empire Pai'liamenl, witli Ministers in ilm Overseas Dominions resident in London, a commou foreign policy, and a dfilniii' scheme ol Empire defence, naval and military. In other words, this group stands lot- a greater degree of centralization, Unless ihis is at- tained, we are lold lho Empire must Inevitably >m io pieces. Opposed to Ibis policy, certain other publicists seem lo suffer from n continual nightmare thai the liberties and autonomous powers or lho Dominions are really iu danger and that a serious effort is being made to place the far-flung portions of the Empire abjectly under tbe thumb of Downing Street, The truth is, of course, that both theso groups are unnecessarily alarming themselves, while al tlie same time wasting valuable time and good paper ami Ink in endeavoring to arouse the people over sdlnething which is nol worrying them In the slightest. The British Empire Is, after all, a mother countrj wiih a healthy family of grown up sons. While these sons wero very, little chaps, mother looked nfti-i- them and directed their more iniporiant affairs for them, lint as tbo boys grew up thoy were gradually given larger liberty of decision and action lor themselves. Thai is, *li" Empire has evolved and continues to evolve in exactly tlie same way as the average family, Any father or mother deserving of the name is proud and happy lo see the children mow up, develop character, become self-reliant, independent and prosperous. In the family circle It is not demanded that as lhe children grow up they shall sign some formal document declaring their love and loyalty'tn father and mother and binding themselves lo discharge certain duties towards them and accept certain responsibilities on Ihelr behalf. Thai love and loyalty exists, and that is all there is lo it. No matter bow lhe children may grow up, nor bow far scattered around lho world they may he, and irrespective of tbe individual interests which may be developed hy each, there yet remains a common bond which remains strong and unbreakable. In principle their chief interests are one, and each and all can rely on tho others. What benefits one indirectly benefits all, although nol necessarily io the sunn.' extent, and loss to one indirectly and adversely affects all. The same principle holds good in the ease of lho British Empire. The analogy is perfect. Australia may he vitally interested in something which only remotely, if at all, affects Canada. But ii Australia in working oul that particular problem gains in strength ami becomes more contented and prosperous, u makes lor Canada's gain indirectly. If anyone doubts ibis, let him recall what tbo si length ol each of the Dominions meant to the others iu the Great War, when, combined, Ihey placed over one million soldiers in lhe Held, and, as Lloyd George declared at Ottawa Ihe other day, had it nol been so the history of the world would have lo be re-written. There may be times and questions where Ihe Interests of various parts of lhe Empire may come into conflict, jusl as occasions arise when the interests of Individual members of a family do not parallel each other bul sharply diverge. Tills would happen just tho same if each was an independent, sovereign nation. Bul. because till are members of one family, a greater degree of consideration for each other is shown, There Is a willingness to compromise, lo adopt a mutual policy of give and lake, which In the end benefits all. There tire, however, many w;i\\ in which the mother country and each of the Dominions can directly assisi lhe others, without involving them in any forin of centralized government or control, which might at times prove Irksome and lend to irritation resulting in frlcilon and a loss of that sentiment and unify of purpose now characterizing tlie Empire as a whole Other countries are working out policies for Ihelr own particular boneflt regardless of ihe otteol on other peoples and nations. Franco seeks to Impose Inr own will and policy on Europe; Ktissla. under the Soviet regime, would convert the.whole world lo tbe theories of communism; lho United Slates erects a tariff itgalnsl the world In lhe belief that 11 is laduclvo lo the prosperity of tho republic. Why. then, should not the British Empire develop voluntary preferences to a far greater extenl than heretofore botween lis several par.ls and thereby confer mutual advantages on each other adding Btrenglh and prosperity in ihe whole. And this can he done wllhotll adopting the dangerous policy of centralization of authority, without In the slightest degree lessening tho autonomy of each Dominion, and, so fur from weakening, result iu strengthening •he ties of Empire. ; ZR-3 Will Soon Fly Across Atlantic German-Built Navy Airplane Almost Rt.-.dy For Voyage Tli-- ZR It.

World's Time For Radio Map Eliminates Need for Calculation By Berlin Operators At ihe Immonao new central transmitting station in Berlin, it was imperative that the sending operators should know the exact, time in any other part of the world at a given moment, Some form of clock was found necessary, that, would indicate day and night, and simultaneously Indicate the lime at all other important radio stations throughout the world. A map of the world was therefore placed on a circular glass dial, on the outer edge of which two twelve-hour scales wore graduated at flve-mlliuto intervals. This dial, being darkened around half the edge, to indicate where It. Is night, is moved aiouml by clockwork. Arrows extend from the stations on the map to the edge, Indicating the approximate limes al any given moment.

Scientist Of Carnegie Institute Believes Centre Or The Earth To Be Mass Of Solid Gold WESTERN EDITORS "The In-art of the earth," says a new theory, "Is a heart of gold," At tho very centre of tho globe there may be millions of tons of pold and silver and pliuinuni and the oilier heavy motals, This Is not mere pliniilastlc specie Ihtlon, hut sohor deduction from the most critical Investigation over made In lhe chemistry of tin1 earth's crust —an investigation conducted hy the acknowledged world authority on this subject, Dr. Henry S. Washington, of tho Carnegie Institution of Washington, D.C. In-. Washington, studying over 5,000 trustworthy chemical analysis of lho crust of the earth, found thnl tin- diluents common In the crust are exclusively those of llghtor weiKht. Tho heavier elements occur only In tho most minute proportions. Gold, for Instanco, composes less than ono-mll- llein-tli of one per cent, of the earth's crust! Yet Dr. Washington thinks it is Improbable that these heavier elements nro always lacking. Then where is Mother Earth's missing quota of gold, platinum and other heavy elements? Have they hidden themselves away out of reach? Dr. Washington believes that they have, lie think thafthe earth was once molten. While it was In tills condition the lighter elements rose to the surface; the heavier ones sank. He thinks that millions of tons of the missing elements are inside the earth now. At the very centre he would expect to find a core of the heaviest elements —such as platinum, gold, antimony and osmium, the latter (lie heaviest known substance, familiar to all In that natural alloy, "Indium," used for the tips of gold pens. Out side tills sphere of precious metals there is, perhaps, a zone of those elements that nre little less heavy—copper, silver and lead. If there is a zone of iron, as Dr. Washington thinks there is,-It presumably comes next. Clear out- side, on top of all the metallic zones, Is the surface layer of the lightest elements— the slag layer, the rocky crust on which we live. If tills Is true, where do the veins of gold, silver, and copper that are mined In the earth's crust come from? The generally accepted scientific answer is that they have been brought upward by seepages of hot mineralized water from the depths of tbe earth. Mother!

Now the pull Is Just as strong, or stronger, on the land. Why. then, are Ihere nol, tidal waves in tho solid ground as there are in the sea? Obviously, just because It is solid -because the land is too firm nnd rigid lo yield lo lhe tidal pull Ihe way lhe water does. Lord Kelvin figured out in tons the amount of these tidal pulls on the land. They wen; stupendous; many times larger than any possible resisting slreiiglh of the fill or (Kl-iulle j crust then supposed in constitute the only solid part of the globe. If we • really tried lo live on a thin, rocky crust floating on a sen of liquid lava, we should not last one day. Inside of 21 hours the solid ground would smash under our feel. Twice each ' day a vast wave of melted rock liun- I dreds of feet high, would roll round Inside the shell of the earth, bursting through it and overwhelming every Vestige of anything solid. There actually docs exisl, it, is true, in the hind as well as hi I lie ocean, a tide, but It is a few Inches high Instead of hundreds of feet. It is tho kind of tidal rise and fall that would happen in a very rigid solid—not in a ball of crusted liquid. We may be quite sure, then, that the earth as a whole is a huge solid ball. This view Prof. Hobbs lias lately brought out in his book, "Earth Evolution and Us Facial Expression," though he prefers tlie word "rigid" to tlie word "solid," for rigidity Is only one of the properties of solids. Under the tremendous pressure and temperatures, inside % the earth, It is possible that the properties of matter are not the same as wo know them on the surface. Things may be "rigid" and still lack some other property of "solids." Prof. Hobbs explains the origin of such a rigid earth among the blazing, gaseous stars of space by reference to a new theory of how the earth was formed—tho so-called "planet- esmnl hypothesis. This hypothesis begins by Imagining the sun ns a single star, a llttlo larger and hotter probably than It Is now. There were no planets sweeping around It then. Along came another star. It happened to pass so close to the sun that the gravitational attraction between the two bodies pulled out a lot of lho matter from the sun. These enormous pulled-out "drops" of matter began lo revolve about the Bun. In time, as they collided with ■ one another, sticking together when Ihey siruek, they gathered Into great j lumps. These lumps are the planets , we know today—Venus, Mars and I the others, also tho earth. X S. C. Andrews, Editor and Proprietor of The Free Press, Allx, Alberta.

During that period an Increase of only 21.95 took place In population. Saskatchewan Iiiib shown the greatest rale of Increase since 1911 nnd Ontario comes next.

Can- j mill was found lo have a population of! 3,485,701, and of lliese 24,102 recorded I their birthplace as the United Slates. This was equivalent to nm quite seven-tenths or l per cent, of tho total population, Al the time of the 1901 census Ihere wen- 127,899 citizens ol American birth in Canada. In that I of 1911 there were 303,680, representing 4.1 i„r cent, of the total population at Ihe lime. From 1911 lo 1921 a total of 748,118 citizens of tho 1'nii ed Stales entered Canada, so that at the present time there nre well over 1,000,000 people in Canada who have been citizens of the United States, or something like 12 per cent, of lho total Dominion population. The tidal How of United Slates set- tiers to Canada started with the offering or free Crown lands as homesteads, and inducement that drew prospective settlers from every country of the globe. The American immigration tide lia's always beet" of prime value, because It. Is most purely an agricultural one. Nearly the entire aggregate of American settlers is to be found In the western provinces, where they have either homesteaded or purchased land, Between the years 1S97 and 1919 some 27 per cent, of United Stales, settlers coming lo Western Canada made, application for homesteads, as against 18 per cenl. of British nationality, and when It Is considered Hint more Americans buy Improved farms than newcomers from any other country, the extenl lo which they are developing Canadian agrlcul- lural'.uriil lands may be appreciated. Slnco tile government threw open its Crown lauds and initiated its homestead policy, about 100,000,000 acres have been settled, and United States citizens have accounted for 90 per cent, of such settlement, as against 20 per cent, of filings on the part of settlers from the British Isles. Since tho war, owing to the disturbance lu economic conditions, no less than to Canada's immigration policy, tl»e flow from the United States litis to some extent fallen off. The movement was in lhe ascendent when the war broke out; in 1913, the record year, some 139,009 American citizens crossed tlie border. After the war the average contribution was about 50,000 per annum until 1922, when only some 24,000 arrived. The Republic's donation is still of the same high quality, however, and almost purely agricultural. Though the extent ol homestead land is rapidly diminishing, American settlers come to Canada with ample funds to purchase Inrge acreages. In the not inconsiderable total of 7,319 homestead filings in 1922, Americans took second pluco. A further aspect of this United States immigration tide which makes It so desirable from Canada's polnl of view Is the amount of wealth 11. carries with it. Most United Slates Immigrants are fanners who have sold out high-priced lands with t'be Intention of either lioinesteadlng or purchasing low-priced lands of huge ex- lenl In Canada, and who arrive furnished with considerable funds and fully equipped lo Inltlnlo Ihelr new enterprises immediately, The average Immigrant from the Unltod Stales Is much richer lhan lhe Immigrant from nny other country. It Is estimated Hint lho average wealth of the British Immigrant to Canada In ii few years reaches $100, while that of oilier nationals Is considerably less. Against llils, to review only recent years, the average wealth brought In by each Unltod Slates Immigrant In 1919 was $312; in 192n, $372Mn 1921, J312; and in 1922, $102. In .1919 lhe volume of United Stales Immigration to Canada was responsible for bringing Into the country about $14,000,000; In 1920 about $18,500,000; in 1921. $14,000,000; and In 1922 about $10,0011,000.—E.

Paper Plant In West Plant Near Winnipeg to Have Initial Capacity cf 120 Tons Per Day Erection of tho first pulp anil paper i plant in the prairie provinces at a cost or $3,000,000 bas begun near Winnipeg. The plant will have an Initial capacity of 120 tons of newsprint a day ami will, it is believed, furnish paper to the middle-western market of the United States. Location ol the plant in the west, it is said, is an Indication of the expansion ol tho Canadian newsprint industry. It was once thought that the pulp wood supplies of tho prairie provinces would not he railed into requisition for years, but the increased eonsuniplion oi* the middle-western states and their proximity to the prairie provinces has brought about the demand. Newsprint production in tho Dominion rose from (jfJ0,250 tons in 1921 lo 1,031,364 ton* in 1*J22 and this year, it is reported, it will show even greater gains.

That was on June t$, 1817—more than 106 years ago. ■•>-< Since that time Montreal has grown from a town of less than 3CV000 to « city of more than. 800,000 population. The Bank, in continuous and successful operation from those early dayi down to the present time, has steadily pioneered its way across Canada.

Then* really was nothing wrong with Iheni, in most cases, except youth. Tho boys were like Teddy, fond of posing as experienced and somewhat dissipated men of the world, bul really only growing children under it all. And the girls were "good sports," amazingly sell- possessed, and always effective, whether they were pretty or not. "Am I so old, or just old-fashioned?" i asked Murray ono nighl after our guests had gone. lie laughed. "Neither, you are just different," ho replied. "It was ;i lovely war, Mar garet-Anno. Vou and 1 are ante-bellum, there is a whole era between us and those youngsters; the calendar has nothing to do with it." i fancy lie was right. And perhaps if more people fell as Murray does there would be less criticism of the present generation. As to Teddy, tho boy was so transparently frank that we always knew when' ho was and what ho was doing, almost what ho was thinking. And 1 felt certain lhat. wiih our homo as a sort of anchor he could noVor go very far astray, IIo had nol lost Ids boyish admiration lor Murray, i I from the first he let me lake tho place Of tho sisters lie must have missed. And ihe twins were devoled lo mini—one of his most lovable trails was that even in public he was never embarrassed by their demon strati vencss. Whether it. waa tho coming of tlie wanner weather or the result of the winter's cold 1 do not know, but as spring advanced it was evident that Murray's condition had ceased to Improve, For some time he had been gaining In weight and sleeping well, but a recurrence of the stomach trouble quickly pulled him down, lie himself made light of tile reverse, but 1 was worried, especially as lie refused to eonsull a n doctor, and would not hear of staying home from lhe ollice. I knew that what lie n led was absolule rest and n liquid did, but his stubborn refusal to iu* "fussed over" was so good a sign of Ms improved condition otherwise that I allowed him to have ids own way. I blamed myself afterwards for nol being more insistent, for ono wet evening he cartP' homo from the ollice with chills and a violent headache, ami hi- fore morning I bad to semi tor the nearest doctor, Dr. Su l In i la nil was, luckily for us, an overseas man, and It look me only a mom on I to oxplaln Murray's >+< to him, He looked very serious during the examination, but he assured me, when he .followed mi' Lo the dining- room afterwards, that there was no immediate danger. "We'll gel him Into hospital al once," he said, "His general condition is none loo good, and lie has a IlABty touch ol pleurisy, but I see no reason why lie should not pull through safely. 1 don'l know If you understand these cases." he added, "your husband had a flue constitution Lo begin with, i should Ihluk, but that rotten gas has undermined ii pretty Lhor oughly. iie'ii need ihe lest of care lor a while, and thee il I were you I'd get him out nt ih. city. An ollice i; no place lor him ror the iipxI fow years." So .Murray wns taken lo lhe tlea oral, and Teddy came oui to stnj with ino and ihe twins. It was an anxious lime for us all. for .Murray was very. verj ill. ISvorylhlng seemed to have gone wrong al once, and lor Ihe first ten days I morel) lived from hour to hour on Dr. Sutherland's repealed as- Mnatices thai we would "pull him through yet." After thai ihere was a gradual but very slow Improvement. .Murray was as weak ;,s a baby, as shadowy as when he flrsl came home, and il was more than a month before he could leave the hospital. 1 was so glad then thai I had found our cottage in the suburbs, lor bad we been living in rooms downtown I should have had lo send him away, As it was. he had fresh air ami quiet at home, and 11 was not long before he began to speak of going back lo the ollice. For ;; lew day,-; Toddy and I pul Iihu off on one excite e or another whenever he spoke of reluming to work, bul when he was no longer to be satisfied I (old him what Dr. Sutherland had said the nighl 1 called him in. It was one ol ihe hardest things I have ever done. Murraj turned very while, and 1 wished l had lofl the task of telling him to the Doctor. "Vou must give ine lime lo get used it) the idea," he said al last. "I never thought ol this. I suppose tho Doc- lor means that I must go larmnig if ! don't want to end in Ninette—il is rather a bad prospect for you and the children." Teddy's noUy entrance saved ihe situation, for 1 fell like weeping on Murray's shoulder, and that would have been bad for us both. Teddy had overheard a part oi our conversation, and with his usual im* pulsivenes she jumped into the middle of It. "Did 1 hear someone say 'farming?'" he asked. "Sure we are going farming, every last, man of us. Margaret- Anne and I had it all planned weeks ago, while you were making love to the nurses, didn't we, Sid?" ' "Well, hardly planned," I said. In reply to Murray's look of enquiry. I told Teddy what the Doctor said,-and he declares that wherever we go he will go too." "Sure, old man," Raid Teddy seriously, "I've got so used to being a family man while you were away that I'd miss the responsibility if it were removed—that is a nice touch, Isn't It?" as Murray smiled faintly. "Anyway, I'm abotu fed up with the bank. Two or three of the fellows are quitting and talking of going North- Jameson has an uncle who knows a place threo hundred miles out from Edmonton where there is oil and coal and maybe copper. Now, if we could go to a place like that and stake a couple of claims we might clean up a million or so each. 01! course," with less enthusiasm, "we couldn't very well take Sis nnd the kids to a mining camp, but maybe they could stay In Edmonton for a while, However, I'm with you Whatever you do, 1 don't know much but I am as strong as a horse and I'll come in handy somewhere," CHAPTER NINE "Ten acres only two miles from the best town In the Okanagan Valley," ! read aloud from the Free Press, "Fine young orchard, will bear next season. Oood pasture and water. Close to school and church. A bargain for anyone who enn put up a good cash payment." it sounds good, doesn't it? "And here is another: 'Beautiful Vancouver Island, the place with the perfect climate. Acreage near Victoria, some plots with houses and other buildings, some unimproved. Buy now while prices are low aud live comfortably while you are paying for your home. Write soon as Ibis proposition will soon be taken up. No agents.'" "It sounds good," agreed Murray.

Murray was almost himself again, and the more we talked of leaving the ! oily for a time tlie more lho Doctor's , advice appealed to us. Dr. Sutherland had told us frankly that Murray j had no organic dlsoaso, but that ho | was in so weakened a condition that if he were to regain his health ho must, change his mode of life. j "Vou nre young," lie said, "nnd two j or threo years now mny mean twenty I later on. 1 do not want to alarm you ; needlessly, bill my candid opinion Is i that It' you were lo run up against nn ' active and enterprising 'I'.H. germ just i now your chances would not bo worth j much. .Mrs. Alywin tells me that she does nol care whore she lives, and those twins surely need room for expansion, so if you lake my advice you'll get out. as quickly as possible." Dr. Sutherland was right, It made little difference lo me where I lived. Ilm he hail been brought up on n latin, and I am sure lie never suspected my : absolute Ignorance ol everything but city life, Even Murray was belter off ; In that respeel than I, lie could remember when Ids lather bad been a country minister, and even nlienvards, when their home was in a small lown, thoy were always In touch with rural conditions. I hid my dotlbta as heal , I could, glad to goo Murray really In- lorested In lhe scheme, and Joked about my "lend, I foot" stupidities, "You'll have to teach me everything," 1 told Murray. "Thank good noss I'm domestic In my tastes—did you know that I had learned to milk and to mnke butter while I wns nt Cousin Margnrot's? And besides, I've heard Moiher say that her grand father carried u polash kettle ninety [ miles through lhe bush from Mini Irenl, so surely I'll be able to manage without electricity and running water." Murray was Impressed lo lhe extent of not asking me whal a potash keltic was, which wns fortunate, as 1 did not knew myself. Murray had gone hack lo lhe ollice Willi the uinh islanding Unit he should loftVO as soon.as we found our farm, lie was really fooling very well, bul I wns anxious lo gel away. In-. Sutherland had frlghtonod me properly, Naturally our friends were much In leresled In our plans anil we had advice lo burn. Some of them il,might Murray foolish nol lo take under the Soldiers' Seilleuieiil Hoard, bul he fell thai as our venture was lo he only n temporary expedient in; was not morally enlllled to the grant. Then, Ino, W. N. U. 1494 he haled the thought of being what he called "under K.K. and O" again. "Wo aro not going out with lhe intention of staying, or of making money," he would explain. "We'll be lucky if wc break even, und wo don't want, to worry about meeting payments. Margaret-Anno and I are simply going on a lengthy camping expedition—provided wo can And the camp." And at thnt time the finding of a camp seemed to be our greatest problem. Murray's Illness had made a largo hole in our bank account, and every "prospect" required a larger flrsl payment than we were able to make. Had Murray been strong nnd experienced we might, have taken one of the farms described ns "a going concern," nnd trusted lo luck anil labor und the weather thnt wo would be able j to meet the deterred payments us thoy fell due. But Murray must have nothing to worry him, nnd the search continued. The days passed quickly and It was welKon Into tho summer before wc found what wc wanted. About ten o'clock ono morning Murray telephoned lo say Hint he would not bo home for lunch. Enrly In the afternoon he telephoned ngnln to sny that he wns bringing a guest for dinner, "nnd," he added, "look your prel- | tlest nnd feed him well, for I think lie owns our farm," I slinll always hnve n soft spot In my hrnrl for "Dickie" Harrington, He j wns one of those awfully pleasant, hopelessly Impractical Englishmen ! who laugh Ihelr way through life and ' die llghllng. Murray and I both took I to him at once, and by lho llmo he i had onion lhe best dinner I could cook lie was telling us his life history in such a way that the blanks wero not hard to fill. He had gone to France as a private ! with tho first Territorials. "Didn't J want lo get a commission until 1 was sure I shouldn't run under lire, you j know," ho explained. And he had only seen a few weeks' service when ! a premature bomb explosion left him with one eye and three lingers "miss- I Ing off parade." "I can't Imagine yet how the bally thing went off," he told us. "Of I course 1 am a fearful ass nbout machinery, but the instructor we had | that clay stammered badly, so I suppose I was rather more stupid than I usual.

RHEUMATIC SUFFERERS May Obtain Relief By Enriching the Blood Supply In the days of our fathers and grandfathers, rheumatism was thought to be the unavoidable penalty of middle life and old age. Almost every elderly person had rheumatism, as well as many young people It was I thought that rheumatism was the mere effect of exposure to cold nnd damp, und it wns treated with liniments and hot applications, which sometimes gave temporary relief, bul did not remove the trouble. In these days there were many cripples. Now. medical science understands that rheumatism is a disease of the blood, and that Willi good, rich red blood any man or woman of any age can defy rheumatism. There are many elderly people who have never fell a twinge of rhematlsin and many who have conquered It by slttiply keeping their blond rich and pure.
