No. C [« ,',-■ I Woman's Institute Meeting The regular monthly meeting of the Women's Institute took place Tuesday afternoon at the Maple Hall, presided over by Mrs. W. B. McFarlane. A very large and enthusiastic body of members and visitors were assembled to enjoy a highly interesting and varied program prepared for the day. Proceedings opened with the singing of the Maple Leaf, followed by the minutes of the January meeting being read and approved and disposal of otber business. The social part commenced with an excellent solo contributed by Mrs. E. D. Irelnnd. Mrs. H. H. McClure was then called upon to give a paper on "How Women May Become Self-supporting in Rural Districts." This sublet was given at the convention at Nelson by Mrs. McClure, who was a delegate from tbo local Women's Institute, and her apt and able manner e»f treating it prompted the directorate to invite her to repeat the stlbject for the benefit of the members, wbo thoroughly appreciated it. At the conclusion of her remarks, Mrs. McFarlane suggested the paper should be printed in the local press, the matter being a weighty one with women generally. Appended is the paper: "How Women May Become Self-supporting in Rural Districts" "At first glance one would tbirt: this an easy subject, but the more you ponder on it the broader it becomes, "Before deciding what line of work to take up it wiil: greatly depend upon the individual woman herself. Some would be in tbeir element when engaged in out-do3r occupation, while others would be like a fish out ot water. Many think there is nothing pays like keeping poultry and tbere are many instances where women bave made a splendid success at sucb work, but cne does not want to get carried away with the idea that there is no work connected with it, for it is a case where eternal vigilance is tbe price ol success. One a'so need? to taVe into consideration the size and proximity of the available markets, for much better prices can be obtained in the larger centres than in smaller places, and if one has to ship any distance it greatly- reduces the profit. "Then there are many who would not make a success at poultry raising, and yet would do well at the growing of small fruits and vegetables, both of which prosper in tbls province. Our local markets are for tbe most part well supplied with early vegetables, but one may do well by growing tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, cabbage and celery for the prairie markets where there is a good demand and these are things which will ship to good advantage. In the case of small fruits, such as strawberries, raspberries, gooseberries, red, wblte and black currants, ill these yield splendid returns for the labor involved. Both of theso I have mentioned1—poultry raising and tbe growing of small fruits and vegetables- require a great deal more of manual labor than many women would care to i undertake unless she has the business ability to make things pay sufficiently well to have the bard labor done by hired assistance. "But there ia another enterprise which haa been largely overlooked by women seeking means of self-support and yet it requires much less labor and gives greater returns for the Continued on Page Two. Knights of Pythias One of tbe best and most interesting evenings was spent In the Knights of Pythias Hall last Tuesday, the. occasion being the installation of the officers for the ensuing term. When the usual routine business had been transacted E. A. Hi I. took up his position as installing officer, and was assisted by C. Borgstrom as Grand Master of Arms and Gilchrist as Grand Prelate. The occasion was one of marked interest to tbe members. Tbe officers installed were C. C—R. 0. Carr. V. 0.—J. L. Walker. Prelate—Rev. W. E. Dunham. M. o! W.—J. Scanlon. K. of R. & S.—F. M. Christian.

After the installation ceremony the members en»oyed an elegant repast after which several of the newly installed officers gave addresses, | whilst others rendered songs and recitations. The evening was one of optimism for the future, the members having some of the ozone of enthusiasm in their breasts that wlll bear fruit in tbe near future. East Kootenay Federal Association An organization meeting was held in Craubrook last Saturday to appoint officers for tbe East Kootenay Federal Conservative Association. General routine .business was transacted and tbe following officers elected: President—Dr. Barnell, Fernie. First Vice-President—A. M. Chisbolm, Windermere.

Chisholm, Windermere, H. Parsons, Golden, E. A. Bennett, Field, representatives from ,the Columbia riding. Rut- Cran- reiterated his former statements and said that he would do the best he could for the project. Mr. Green I drew the attention of those present to the fact that the meeting assembling in Ottawa was, as far as he understood, for the purpose of PasB- Ing legislation for war measures and only the absolutely necessary legislation directly affecting the welfare of! the Dominion would be considered at all. However ho would use all the Influence possible to assist the district to obtain thase necessary requirements. Hon. R. E. Green visits Cranbrook Hon. R. F. Green, member of the Federal House for this district, visited Oranbrook last Saturday on bla way to Ottawa. During his visit the executive of the Board of Trade arranged for a meeting and Invited Mr. Green to be present. Tbis meeting was held in T. T. Mecrcdy's office at 5 p. m. Tbe executive brought several matters to the member's attention, particular reference being made to the proposed telephone connection with the Athalmer-Wlnder- mern district anl subsequently to Golden. Mr. Green in reply said that he could not pledge the government at this time.to do the work they re- (l,uired but assured the meeting that he would use every endeavor to bave the proper authorities consider the . matter as favorably as possible. Re the matter of hiving.an armory fouilt in Cranbrook for tbe purpose of establishing a centre tor the volunteers that were now drilling and other possible ones in thc future, Mr. Green Conservatives Meet The usual monthly meeting of th» Cranbroo't' Conservative Aseocia.ont was held in Clapp's Hall last oi '-ht when a very large attendance w-is present. President W. B. McFarlane occupied the chair. The meeting was first opened by the reading of the minutes of the previous meetings and adopted as read. A communication was received from the Cranbroo't Board of Trade in reference to the wood distillating plant which it is proposed to establish in the city or district. The association endorsed the action of the board of trade in requesting thc govern nent to assist the enterprise. The great question before the meeting was the passing of bylaws governing, the rules and regulations of the local association. Dr. Rutledge, chairman of tho bylaw committee, addressed the meeting re the same. They were afterward passed on separately and finally adopted with a few amendments to the committee's suggestions. The following committee were appointed to look into the voters' list: Messrs. Dr. Rutledge, I, J. Baxter, D. McFarlane, Wm. Steward, A. J. Balment. The committee has power to add to their numbers. The meeting was one that carried with it much enthusiasm for the cause; it portrayed an increasing interested in the welfare of the Conservative party, and it bespoke well for the betterment of some of the conditions that have existed in the city in times past. It might be well t0 point out that these monthly meetings are for the •benefit of all Conservatives who hive the interest of their party at heart and carry an interest in the well-being 0f the rank and file ol that party. The president and members who do attend wish it to be known that they would he pleased to welcome any who care to attend these meetings and en'oy the social privileges of the local Conservative association.

Arrangements had been mnde for a special night in order to create interest in the club end thc result exceeded all expectations. Early in the evening the crowd begnn to gather, end by the time the tirst event of the evening, the girls' game, commenced the overflo.v crowd necessitated the placing of seatB on the basketball floor. The girls' game was cn a par with the program ifor the rest of the evening. The "Hicks" an.l "Macs" were the opposing teams, and their playing time and time afan awake enthusiastic outbursts from the audience. The Play was fast and furious and at half time only one po'nt separated the rivals, the "Hicks" leading 4-3. Tho same equality was shown through the second ha'f wh:n the whistle blew the tired "Macs" led the equally tired "Hicks" by one point, the final score being 9-8. The girls showed skill at the game that surprised the on-lookers, many of the goals scored being of a sensational nature. All starred, the scorers being Lilly Turn?r and V. Bradwin for the Hicks and Edith Macdonald and Enid Gill for tbe Macs. The centres were evenly matched, while Delia Greaves was the star of the bact*- field, but the others were not far behind. The lineup—Macs, M. Turner and E. Gill forwards, Edith Macdonald centre, D. Greaves and D. Kershaw guards; Hicks, L. Turner and V. Bradwin forwards, G. Hickenbotham centre, B. Gill and E. Caslake guards. Mr. Mirams, ns referee, made a hit with the girls,by his impartial handling ()f the contest. During the interval between thc girls and boyB' games Mr. Mirams gave a clever exhibition on the parallel bars, time and again drawing applause for his skilful work. The game between the "Stage" and the "Beavers" then took place. The teams started off with a rush, each basket in turn being bombarded and only the sterling work of the opposing sides kept the score down. The rivalry of the players showed in their inclination to rough it in tbe first halt considerably witb the result that fouls were numerous. At the end Oi this period the score stood 11- 10 in favor of the Stags. Tbe second half started off just as fast but the Stats found th?ir scoring eye and soon drew ahead, but not without a struggle. The pace was stren- iiois but the players did not let up and were going faster at the finish than when the game b'gen. At full time th? Stags led 26-17. Dallas was high scorer frr thc victors, annexing 14 points, while Ashworth acco nted for nnarly all the losers' tnllies.

No. 6 The debate ou the address was closed lust Friday afternoon by the Hun. vv. r, l'o's. minister of lands, iu a speech tbat was masterful, clear and convincing, brushing away the p.lly sophistry «ud calumnious charges 0f Liberals ,md Socialists by a magnificent sweep ol indisputable facts and figures. Mr. Ross has made many BPlend d addresses and speeches during his career In parliament, but never before has he been so overwhelming iu bis arguments, so forceful in his statements. There was no attempt a* 8" apology for his department. Ou th: contrary a perfect willingness to let the entire truth be known so tbat the people might judge fairly on the policy pursued by his department. He did rot indulge in flights o: oratory, but like the surgical specialist laid bare the cold facts on record. There was no mincing of words, no Macedonipn cries of distress. He did not hesitate to declare tbat it was a condition, not a theory, that . con'ronts tbe Government, the province and the people, thi san:e condition tbat is confronting every civilized land today, and he expressed the earnest belief that the land uolicy of the government was endorsed by those' who were familiar with the fact and not controlled by i'OlitiCfl views. Mr. Ross' speech was one of the best made in parliament for years, and will give him that privilege that comes to every statesmen who meets the critics of his party with a reply that is fair and clear, absolutely devoid of personalities, partisan bitterness or cheap subterfuge. It is a speech that should be read by every man in British Columbia, as it is a most valuable addition to the land policy of the province. Mr. I Ross stated that he was inclined to btelieve that the criticisms of the last few years was due more to the success of the policy pursued by the department rather than failure. The ten years, from 1905 and ending 1914, the government had consented to a sale of over 5,000,000 acres of land and the amount received in cash from these sales was $12,500,000, and it was to a large extent, the receipt of this money that had enabled the government to give such an impetus to the progress of thc province and prosperity to the peort.e. Mr. Ross said that tbe big land boom was due more to the caprice of the public tban to any legislation by the government. In 1905 tbe land Bales were 55,000. In 1906 22S.000 acres. In 1909 the first appearance of tbe land boom, 645,000 acres were sold, and in 1910, 2,000,000 acres were sold. But in 1911 prices advanced to $10 and $15, and there were 900,000 acres EOld. In 1912 cnl.v 200,000 acres were Bold. In 1913 there were 42C.000 acres and last year only 45,000 acres. These I'g ires fully met tbe argu- inmts of the opposition, since only 22i,000 acres were told in 1906 when iand was practically one dollar with DO reserves. Yet in 1909 with thc price increased 150 per cent, and nu n,- reserves made t;45,000 acres were 80ld object of that time wns to make the Btaker Of the land make an iillliliivit as there had i been some frauds discovered regarding previous staking. The official figures on arrears ol principal were about $9,000,000. Tbe government could not lose as much money bad been paid on these lands nnd if they reverted to tho government they could be used Young Men's Club Continued from Page One. selections: Instrumental, Miss Be- lau, Rog.

Editor Prospector: Sir,—I note that you invite criticisms of two petitions to the Dominion Parliament as suggested by Mr. A. E. WattB. The one advising generous financial terms to encourage farmers is akin to my ideals of Politics and I am neither a Liberal or Conservative, but I approve of the Policy of taking the best suggestions and the cream df thought from all sources for the common good. This is far more commendable tban wasting energies in useless or inane,stuff that ma'tes one despise the modern press as the slave of party politics. There is one thing very apparent that the west must be developed along agricultural lines if the great cities are to be maintained and earning capacity given to the great network of railways. The cities and towns are developed too far ahead with no corresponding agricultural and industrial support, tbe result is crowded cities with hungry people. It was a most cruel thing for thoBe in authority to permit people to he drawn to this country by advertisements as was done under the direction of the late Minister of Public Works, the H0n. Clifford Sifton, and he was hailed as a clever organizer wbicb he would have been had he properly and humanely completed his work along the lines suggested by the petition under consideration, and in my opinion there can be nothing added to improve it except'to emphasize the truth that when people are attracted to a country by governments and by corporations, it is the duty of both to protect and assist tbe settlers, and this should be done as set torth in the petition. I think there would be no difficulty in getting half a million or more signatures in the west and armed with such an expression of public opin'on, a man of strong character with ability and determination no doubt could get the measure passed, and the one who succeeds in doing it, will do more for the prosperity of western Cannda than has ever before been attempted. I rnel03e my address and Women's Institute Continued from Page One. amount invested than either of the two mentioned that is bee-keeping. I have no actual experience in this line of work myself, but from what I understand from the experience of others it is a very profitable business. I know of one man in Ontario whose yield of honey for last year from 200 hives was 20 tons which he sold at 10c a pound, netting him $4,000. Had he sold his honey In this province he would in all probability have realized about doulte that amount. This is an instance where I see' no reason why women could not do eqjially as well as a man. "These things require more or less capital, while many women are thrown entirely on their own re- trict, but, alas, too often the old story—n0 hei? to bc had. "In conclusion I would like to say to all mothers, by all means, let ua see that our daughters are trained thoroughly along some kind of work so that if the day should ever come that ,it would be necessary for them to support themselves they will be in a position to do so." Mrs. J. Shaw was next called upon to give her "First Aid" notes, taken from a medical lecturer at the recent convention in Nelson, and were found to be every day meful remedies in cases ot burns, bites, stings, scalds, etc. A short talk on "Nut Bread" wae given by Mrs. D. Campbell and when handed round was pronounced excellent. The hostesses for the day were Mesdames Campbell, Ireland, Boyes and Kennedy who hended round light dainty refreshments with tea. Another highly successful meeting was brought to a close with the singing of the National Anthem. Baptist Church Pastor, Rev. O. G. Kendall. Mr. E. H. Thorpe, secretary Y. M. C.

Yet there are hundreds of them in this western land of ours, and although the Government has been interviewed time and again on tbis question, yet not one dollar of Government money has ever been spent in sending nurses to these brave women who pay the price toll of colonization. One very sad case come to my notice some time ago. A woman takes sick, the nearest doctor lived 40 miles away, the nearest telephone 25 miles away, the roads almost impassable. A neighbor walks 25 miles to telephone the doctor and waits there until he comes to show him the road. Aa they near the bouse the husband comes out imploring the doctor to hurry. On gong in he finis tbe woman has been suffering untold agony and five minutes alter another home'has been left without a loving mother's care, and a lonely husband to care for four small children.
