SENIOR BOYS DEFEAT MASONS 8UNDAY BASEBALL GAME ENDS IN WIN FOR BOYS BY SCORE OF 15—5 Local baseball fans who attended the ball game at the Race Track diamond last Sunday were treated to a few surprises by the members of the Senior Boys' baseball team. The local Masons' team also received a severe jolt in the defeat handed out to them by the young players. Some of these boys give promise of developing, in the not distant future, into players of which followers of the game in large centres might well be proud. In the first inning the Masons went to bat first and made a good start; Huey, Allen and Harvey each scoring a run. Hughes managed to reach third; Muir got as far as second. Only one run was tallied by the boys in the second half of the first inning, although the batting was of a good order. In the second inning the boys scored two more; in the third,, three; in the fourjb, one; in the fifth, four; In ilif*sixth, three; in the seventh, one. The Masons managed to add two more .to their total in "the eighth inning, leaving the score at the finish, 15—5. Dr. Lee Smith umpired the game to the entired satisfaction of all. The line-up of the two teams was as follows: -Masons—V. Smith, c; J. Huey, 3rd b.; O. Allen, p.; W. E. Harvey, 1st b.; T. Hughes, 3rd b.; A. Muir, s.c.; D. Cunningham, l.f.; C. Burr, r.f,-; M.

Prest, s. a, HEDLEY BOY8 DEFEATED BY LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL NINE Last Saturday the Princeton High School baseball team visited Hedley and in a well contested game returned home with the bacon, which they won deservedly, still continuing their winning streak. During the first four innings it looked as though it was gaing to be a walk-away for the Princeton ball- tossers, the score being 6—0; but the home team went on a batting spree and managed to run up a score of 8 runs while the visiting team scored a total of 13 runs before the finish. At times during the latter stages of the game it looked as though Hedley might have some show, but through good pitching and good fielding a defeat was prevented by the visitors. In the fifth inning, L. Prest relieved E. Meausette in the box. The lineup was as follows: Hedley —J. Smith, 2nd b.; F. Rainbow, c; W. Lowe, 3rd b.; C. Loomer, 1st b.; W. Lyon, cf.; F. Hardman, p.; W. Rolls, s.s.; J. Hardman. l.f.; Carl Loomer, r.f. Princeton—D. Muir, cf.; W. Mattin, 3rd b,; G. Schisler, 1st b.; M. Prest, s.s.; E. Meausette, p.; L. Prest, c; R. McKinnon, l.f.; M.

HISTORIC RANCH NEAR OROVILLE HAS BEEN SOLD Oroville. — The Okanogan Smith ranch of 250 acres, located near Oroville on the east shore of Osoyoos lake, and one of the historic places of Washington, was sold last week to C. E. Chamberlain, of Aeneas valley, for $50,000. Mr. Chamberlain will retain [ sixty acres for a home and divide the balance into smaller tracts and place them on the market. The Okanogan Smith ranch is particularly famed for its wonderful old orchard of apple trees. These trees are among th© oldest of their kind in the Pacific Northwest and they long since fully, proved this country as an app'e producing district of the first class. The trees were brought by Okanogan Smith from Fort Hope, B.C., on horseback, in April, 1858, and planted where they still thrive and yield abundant annual crops. This remarkable orchard is 64 years old this spring and never before in the years since present residents of this locality can remember have*\he trees been so covered with blossoms as they were this spring, indicating that they are again to give forth fruit with the same lavish prodigality that has characterized them in the past years. CENTRALIZING OF OFFICES PROVE8 SATISFACTORY The ^centralizing of the government offices of Princeton, Fairview, Greenwood and Grand Forks into the one office at Penticton is proving very satisfactory according to S. T. Larson, who was a brief visitor here last Saturday. The task of classifying and filing the records from four different offices into one system that will permit of ready reference and research, is quite a heavy one but is being rapidly accomplished. A competent staff of clerks Is employed and the arrangement is such that, instead of each being employed on special duties, their services are available rf™*- .an/) tv-??^:w/.i*r^nstrn^tiojp: ..5n,T~ every department of the work, Mir Last winter, following the burning of Larsen has an office in the building, which, he says furnishes plenty of accommodation for all employees for the present.

A Bit of Inspiration Highly Pertinent to the Season BIG ROCK CUT ON 30UTHERN BRANCH LINE WILL TAKE MONTH TO COMPLETE (Penticton Herald.) The grading on the K. V. R. branch line south is completed with the exception of a large rock cut near the north end of Vasseaux lake and a short stretch of light grading near Oliver. The big bridge at the south end of Vasseaux lake is nearly finished, It is not expected that the rock cut will be completed for nearly a month, but it is understood the K. V. R. is ready to proceed with the steel laying immediately. A. E. Griffin & Co. has fulfilled it grading contract. There is a total of six bridges on the present length of line being installed, and the five which remain to be built are all small ones, These will all he constructed by the tune the grade is open through the rock cut, The large car barge to be used in transporting cars on Skaha lake, is now under construction near the K. V. R. wharf on the north end of the lake. GETTING CROWDED OUT Orovll'e.—Mr. and Mrs. Val Haynes were in town Saturday from their home north of Osoyoos. Mr. Haynes has lived on a large stock ranch in the Okanagan valley from a period dating far back into the misty past and until the British Columbia government commenced ripping up the earth preparatory to the irrigation of a large acreage in the valley, he was monarch pf all he surveyed, not having a neighbor within miles, occupying the only inhabited dwelling from the Osoyoos customs house to the big a'iff miles and miles to the north. Now Mr, Haynes commences to feel that he has not elbow room enough with the new town of Oliver springing up within sight of his home, and new settlers flocking upon the irrigated land. his hotel Mr. Wickersham contracted pneumonia and does not appear to have recovered from it. Columbia Records—-New selection arriving. Come in and hear them. White's store open to you. Messrs. H. R. Van Wagenen and H. R. Plommer, general manager and purchasing agent respectively of the Canada Copper Corporation at Alien- by, left on Tuesday on a trip to Juneau, Alaska. We understand the object of their trip is to acquire additional machinery for the company's concentrating plant at Allenby. Mrs. Van Wagenen and Mrs. Plommer accompanied their husbands. General Superintendent A. McCul- loch, of the Kettle Valley railway at Penticton, was a visitor to Princeton over the last week end. While here Mr .McCulloch went over the branch line to Allenby. He was also driven down the valley as far as Hedley by Agent H. E .Hansen. Mrs. D. Muir arrived home on Wednesday from Vancouver with her little son, Clarence, who had his leg broken here some time ago. We understand the little patient is doing nicely now. Mr. R, H, Stewart, manager of the Consolidated Mining & Smelting Co., Trail, was in town on Thursday, and took a trip down to Hedley to look over some properties in that locality. As we go to press the garden festival being conducted by the ladies of the Presbyterian church on Mrs. K. Summers' lawn, is in progress. Ice cream, candies, flowers, etc., will be on sale. The ladies seem to have got on the good side of the weather man this time. Mr. R, W. Dickinson, accountant in the Bank of Montreal, Vernon, and Mr. D. G. Pogson, accountant of the Vernon Fruit Growers, motored over from Penticton this morning en route to the coast, where they expect to spend a short holiday. While here they were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Gauld. H. B. Meausette had a narrow escape from what might have resulted in serious injury on Thursday morning when a gasoline blow-torch which he was lighting exploded, throwing a spray of burning gas over him. Fortunate^ he escaped with but a few minor burns about his arms and face. By his presence of mind, Mr. Meausette soon got the fire under control with the aid ot a small garden hose; but not before the interior of his workshop was somewhat scorched. This world's a diamond, with the bases laid, And on it Life's great game of ball is played. The teams are Human Being versus ifate. And Time's the umpire watching by [the plate. WeTre at the bat. Our purpose o'er and o'er To wield Ambition's club and try to score. To try to solve the curve the pitcher throws, And lam the Sphere where not a field- rer goes. Some of us seerh to bat with skill immense, Knocking long homers o'er the deep ~ field fence, Others but infield hits but wildly race, And. beat the ball down to the primal fbase, Sti'i others, though they strive their j best, no doubt, Fan wildly at the air, and then— \strike out; Then seek the bench, downcast, with visage drawn, Crestfallen, shamefaced, blue, ambition gone! Or rag the umpire, growling like a bear; "Ym robber! That decision wasn't pair!" That's not the game! Be not a grouch ;or a quitter! Whjfit though you're not a straight |300-hitter? You've got another chance. Stand to ■ .the plate, Grab tight your bat, get braced'- and '■calmly wait! Wait for a good one. Let the others rip, Ana when it comes—now! Lam it hard! And zip! It's got to go! And so must you, old j|man! Hike for the base. Keep going—yes, -■^Su can! area! seeona: uoonr -mow, easy—not too gay! There! Get a lead! A hit! Now you're away! Keep on! Don't stop! Don't lose that dandy stride! You've got to beat the throw-in! Slide, now! Slide! Hurrah! You did it! Score? Of course you scored! See—there's your tally marked up on the board! And now you'll win the game—no doubt at all! You just can't lose, old man, if you'll PLAY BALL. —By Paul West. A MAN'S PRAYER "Teach me that 60 minutes make an hour, 16 ounces one pound and 100 cents one dollar. Help me to live so that I can lie down at night with a clear conscience, without a gun under my pillow and unhaunted by the faces of those to whom I have brought pain. Grant that I may earn my meal ticket on the square, and that in earning it I may do unto others as I would have them do unto me. Deafen me to the tingle of tainted money and to the rustle of unholy skirts. Blind me to the faults of the other fellow, but reveal to me my own. Guide me so that each night when I look across the dinner table at my wife, who has been a blessing to me, I will have nothing to conceal. Keep me young enough to laugh with little children, and sympathetic enough to be considerate of old age. And when comes the day of darkened shades and the smell of flowers, the tread of soft footsteps and the crunching of wheels in the yard, make the ceremony short and the epitaph simple—"Here Lies a Man." "TOMATO WEEK" AT KEREME08 Keremeos, May 31,—This might be termed "Tomato Week" in the Lower Similkameen. While planting was started by some last week it is general this week and an average of easily fifty acres per day, representing about 150,000 plants, are being set out. Though the season is somewhat late, the plants are exceptionally good this year and granted favorable weather from now on the tomato pack should be a record one this year. The total acreage planted this year is expected to exceed 350 acres. APRIL CLASS LEADERS IN PRINCETON PUBLIC SCHOOL Senior III.—1, Mary Herbison; 2, Gladys Wardle. , jSp Junior III.

LeLievre, is repotted to be under arrest in connection with the hold-up of the bank at Loomis yesterday afternoon. According to stories reaching town, L<e- Lievre's confederates were two men from across the line. The bandits escaped north in a car but were so closely pursued that they abandoned it east of the Richter lower ranch. LeLievre was captured but the other two, evidently used to the hills, gained a refuge for the time being on Kruger mountain. When arrested, LeLievreT is said to have told the names of his confederates. WANT HIGH SCHOOL Keremeos, May 31.—This evening a joint committee of the school boards of Cawston and Keremeos, with Inspector Lord in attendance, will be held at the residence of Donald Mc- Callum. The object is to establish a high school at this point. By itself, Keremeos has hardly the required number of high school pupils but with tne co-operation ot -oawstoir MSerej would be ample. A report of the meeting wiH be available for the next issue of the Star. FEAR INFLUX CHEAP FRUIT B. C. GROWERS SEEK AID AND PROTECTION FROM FEDERAL MINISTER Ottawa, May 31. — Protection a- gainst an influx of cheap American fruit which would glut the British Columbia market was asked by Thos. Bulman, representing the fruitgrowers of the Okanagan valley, who waited on Hon. W. S. Fielding, minister of finance, today. Mr. Bulman protested against the new budget's removal of the clause which provided for valuation of imports at the cost of production plus a reasonable profit. This, he claimed gave the Americans a chance to place a lot of their third-class fruit on the British Columbia market at low prices and thus injure the whole Canadian industry. Two per cent, of the American crop was sufficient to glut the British Columbia market and this would be sold at prices with which the British Columbia growers could not compete. The British Columbia fruit 'industry, Mr. Bulman claimed, represented m investment of $40,000,000 and was yet in its infancy. The growers were not asking for any additional duties, but for the protection against cheaper imports which they had enjoyed for a year. LIQUOR CASE REMANDED Keremeos, June 1.—Wm. LeLievre appeared before Magistrates Clarke and Carrick today on a charge of unlawful possession of liquor and was granted a week's remand in which to prepare his defence. The liquor was twenty cases of Bourbon discovered on his premises by tbe police while searching for th# liquor stolen from the government store here last week. Mr. A. S. Black returned on Thursday afternoon from a business trip to Kamloops. Cawston, June 1.—The action of A. Felhauer against the Similkameen Fruitlands company has been dismissed with costs against the plaintiff. Mr. C. M. Weiss, who attended the trial in Vancouver, intended visiting Cawston on his way home to Winnipeg, but urgent business matters prevented his doing so. VALLEY RESOURCES SURPRISE VISITORS VANCOUVERITES IMPRESSED BY POSSIBILITIES OF THE SIMILKAMEEN A quartette of prominent citizens from Vancouver visited the Similkameen last week end. Included in the party were General McRae, J. J. Fry, Victor Spencer and W. W. Boultbee. They* arrived in Keremeos on Saturday evening, driven by Mr. Boultbee in his big Franklin touring car, Sunday morning they gave Keremeos the "once over," visiting the home of the late W. H. Armstrong, and then proceeded to Princeton. Here they experienced the delay and inconvenience occasioned by having to ship their car to Hope. General McRae, who is connected with the Wallace Fisheries, evinced an interest in the canning business. Colonel Fry intimated his intention of visiting this district again in the near future for the purchase of saddle horses for which there 4s a demand at the Coast. Mr. Spencer was interested in fruit growing, having recently planted a large orchard at Lytton. All were surprised and greatly impressed by the appearance and possibilities of the Similkameen, a valley which, although lying practically at their door, is shut off from communication by highway. It is just one instance of what the completion of the Hope-Princeton highway would mean to the people of the coast and the interior. With highway communication established hundreds of such parties would visit this valley annually, and coast and interior would become better acquainted to their mutual advantage. DALY ISLAND UNDER IRRIGATION Keremeos, May 31.—Daly Island, recently purchased by Morton Broth- 000, has been added to the productive acreage of this district. The irrigation system just completed by G. H. Morton was tried out yesterday and proved a complete success. The water is taken from the Similkameen at the big bridge and advantage is taken of a natural water course in conveying the water a great part of the distance. In addition to the island it will also provide water for the sixty acre ranch of J. P. Thomas, ad- Joining. The so-called island comprises over 200 acres of fine land and when fully developed will make a valuable ranch. This year Mr. Morton has about 50 acres ready for cultivation, part of which will be planted in tomatoes. BE WILLING TO WORK Occasionally we hear or know people who refuse to work because they cannot find the job which suits them and which pays the salary to which they have been accustomed. But a poor position is better than none. It helps to tide over the period of depression, and puts the occupant in line for a better place. When more remunerative positions are to be filled the man who is already at work, no matter how humble that work may be, will be given preference over the unemployed. Keremeos, Juno 1. — Contractor Erickson has commenced work on two buildings on Seventh street op-> posite the Hotel Keremeos. On the corner Mrs. Kirby is erecting a substantial frame building with concrete foundation which will be leased to the government as a liquor vendor's store. On the north end of the same lots, on ground purchased from Mrs. Kirby, J. R. Campbell is putting up a building for his own use as a drug and book store. It also will be a substantial frame structure and will be especially adapted for the" purpose Required. NEW PEST ATTACKS OKANAGAN ORCHARDS Victoria—A new enemy of fruit has appeared in British Columbia and is launching attacks on the orchards of the Okanagan, according to reports made by experts of the horticultural branch to the department of agriculture. This creature is about two- fifths of an inch long, usually of a, pale green color, with faint yellowish white stripes running lengthwise on the sides. It is said to be a species of bud worm. THE PKINCETON STAR, PRINCETON, B. C. FRIDAY, JUNE 2, 1922 Cbe Jflrfaceton Star PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY AT PRINCETON, B.C. G. E. FRENCH, Manager SUBSCRIPTION RATES British Empire, One Year $ 2.00 -Foreign, One Year I 2.50 Payable in Advance. FRIDAY JUNE 2, 1922 the certainty of being able to continue the feeding so long as it remains necessary. At the last session of the local legislature," last fall, Dr. King, then minister of public works, announced from the floor of'the house that the government had decided on the building of the Hope-Princeton section of the provincial highway without any unnecessary delay. Locating Engineer Gwyer had gone thoroughly into the merits of the different routes proposed- Time and money had ocen spent in securing the fullest possible data. Dr. King had personally ridden over the proposed route. The decision to build the road was included in the speech from the throne at the opening of parliament. It was a pronouncement that people in the interior thought could be relied upon. Later, with snow on the ground and zero weather • prevailing, a party of engineers were sent to locate and cross section twelve miles of the i- route on the Princeton end in order that actual construction work might oomence as early as possible in the spring. The Princeton board of trade had every reason to believe that the - object for which they had worked so long and arduously. was about to be fulfilled and they rested on their oars. Why, are they, and similar or: ganizations throughout the interior, required to take up the struggle again and resort to the last, but perhaps the strongest weapon they hold In their'hand, that of public petitions? Dr. Sutherland is reported as having said that further information is required before the work can proceed. Premier Oliver told a Penticton audience that they over-estimated the value of tourist traffic. Both piffle and evasion. Dr. Sutherland, by his extravagant promises to the electors in his own and other recent by-elections may have made the project more difficult to finance but that does not justify breaking the promise given Neither is f^rist traffic, inu portant as it is, the only consideration in the building of a highway connecting the coast cities, with the interior. Commercial t,nd other interests would also benefit greatly. Unlike twenty years ago the fast stepping motor is now the popular means of transportation and communication by highway throughout the province is absolutely essential to its fullest development. According to a dispatch from Ottawa many veterans who took up land under the Soldier Settlement .scheme are abandoning their holdings, and in re-selling these the government is netting a considerable profit. Many of the returned men entered the scheme without experience and under conditions that make success almost impossible. In this valley there have been a number who have given up in disgust but the majority are sticking by their guns and making good. J. A. MacKelvie, representative of .his district in the federal house, was among the first members to take the floor in the debate on the budget. He sees in the government's announcement re tariff changes an intention to remove the "dumping clause" in respect to fruit. Convinced that this would prove a serious blow at the fruit industry in B. C, he is losing no time in registering his objection. WHAT WAS DOING HERE g TWENTY YEARS AGO 1 From the Similkameen Star of 11 Friday, May 31, 1902 SAVE THE CHILDREN FUND 100 PER CENT. CANADIAN The follownig appeared in the Toronto Saturday Night, under date of May 13th, 1922. The charges laid by some English publications against the administration of the British "Save the'children Fund," which was referred to in a recent number of Saturday Night has elicited a reply from Lord Wear- dale which clears the air to some'ex- tent, but at the same time gives no indication that the chairman was a man with any business instincts, nor did he operate in a business way, in either the collection of funds, which paid a heavy tribute to the publicity agent, or in the selection of those from whom he purchased through this agent. However, that's now an old •story as Lord Weardale has resigned the Chairmanship, and it is in other and it is to be hoped more competent hands. 1% is to be feared that the criticism «aireettfd against the internal manage- rmeut ©f the British"Save the Children .Fund," ha& possibly had a detrimental effect upon the Canadian "Save the (Children Fund," which is another (movement and operated in quite another way. First of all our fund, under the administration of CoJ. Herbert J. Mackie, who acts as president and -who is giving practically all of Ms time to it, is a hundred per cent. Canadian. Every dollar collected is spent jn Canada for foods and other necessities. These are earmarked and shipped to the famine areas, where they are distributed to the children by British and Canadian officials. The only connection between the two .funds is that the machinery created tot distribution purposes by the British i# token advantage of by the Canadian ■eosMnittee. ThS Canadian "Save the Children Fund" is -now feeding daily 76,000 youngsters, and after ,-ciose investiga> tion we have every reason to jbeiieve that it is being done in a most efficient manner. It is hoped that through additional funds this number can be raised to one hundred thousand with Mr. T. A. Rogers, of Aspen Grove, in town. Mr. R. L. Cawston, of Keremeos, is back in Princeton again. |f||l Grand celebration at Princeton July 1st and 2nd. Don't fail to come. Judge Tunstall of Kamloops, came in on the Nicola stage iast Saturday. Mr. F. S. Findley, traveller for the Hudson's Bay Co., came up from feeremeos" last Saturday and went out to Nicola Sunday morning on the stage. Mr. A. Gallinger is down from Boulder Creek. He states that sinking on the Cousin Jack was hampered by water coming in, and that his men are now working on the tunnel again. Messrs Richter, Cornell and Conk- Jing drove up from Keremeos on Monday last. Mr. Richter returned home on Thursday, Mrs. Chas. Richter of this place accompanying -him. Visitors from Princeton report an excellent time at Keremeos and Fair- view on the 23rd and 24th. Our local athletes, Messrs. Ryder and Revely, were successful in capturing a -.fair share Of the honors. Our old friend Mr. Robt. Stevenson returned from the coast last week, He states that people of the coast cities are beginning -to manifest a great deal of interest in this section, e"pecially in the coal and platinum resources of the district. PROVINCE WILL ASSIST SETTLERS Victoria, B. C.—Following the visit of the Hon. E. D. Barrow, minister of agriculture, to central British Columbia, comes the announcement that fuller assistance for settlers will be provided by the provincial government. The minister is working out a plan whereby it is hoped to furwish settlers with improved machinery and "progress loans," in cases where sufficient progress has been made to warrant the expenditure. The fullest encouragement Is to be given to the formation of "cattle clubs" throughout the province. Government creameries will be established at points where settlers have sufficient cows to support such an establishment. ROD AND GUN IN CANADA A number of notable features are contained in the June number of Rod and Gun in Canada. George ti. Cat- ton, a Canadian short story writer of prominence, contributes "Flapjacks," a .short story masterpiece. There is an article entitled "Shore-bjrd Migration Along N. S.," by that famous naturalist, Bonnycagtle Dale, while Robert Page Lincoln contributes "Random Casts," in addition to his usual Pishing Notes department. The Guns and Ammunition department in this issue is perhaps the big feature, ft is an unusually liberal one, containing a wealth of material which will be relished by ail who r«sad it. The Kennel Department resumes with this issue, under the editorship of Frank H. Walker, of Windsor, an authority on dogs, and one of Canada's leaders in kennel circle. A. Bryan Williams contributes his usual hunting notes in B. C, and there are other features Which go to make up a well-balanced, attractive magazine, 'which will be found particularly interesting to all. Rod and Gun in Canada is published monthly at Woodsto«Jc, Ontario, by W. Z, Taylor, Limited.

I hear Archie McEachern has been, enabled to leave the hospital at Hedley and return to work,at the mine, although still somewhat under the weather. * * * * Mrs. Frank Suprenen, who is well over eighty, is said to be seriously ill. She had a strenuous time during the recent illness of her daughter, Mrs. Thomas Melville, having to look after the family of small children and all the etceteras of housework, while Tommy Melville himself was too unwell to be of much help. * * * * Arthur Smitherham was down from the Nickel Plate mine on Wednesday to take in the Empire Day sports at Keremeos. * * * * It is hot today. The thermometer is close up to 80 degrees in the shade. If this point is touched every day for the rest of the week we shall have a repetition of the high water which destroyed poor Jim Hayes' garden and Charley Williams' ranch last year. | $ & * * Two members of the Mounted Police have been quite active in the valley during the past week or so. They are endeavoring to hit the trail of the burglars who swiped several cases of tanglefoot from Harry Tidy's government booze shop" recently. I understand they have arrested a well- known rancher up the valley—not for burglary, but for having, too many cases of liquor in his cellar. * # m m ' Mr. W. A. McKenzie, provincial member for our riding (Similkameen) was noticed autoing along our main and only street on Wednesday, headed for that famous "hub" of the big valley—Keremeos, noted for its apples, its fair women and its annual craze for "tagging" everybody to the tune of fifty cents a tag; * * m m Among the familiar faces seen perambulating the decorated main street of Keremeos on Empire Day was that of Mrs. Love, now of Penticton, who taught school here in Olalla six oi seven years ago, during the early part of the great war. I am very sorry to learn that Mrs. Love's daughter, Agnes, who was such a jolly comrade to all the boys and girls of that time, has been sick fQiLxnexla year with throat trouble. * * * * The Vancouver World had a paragraph the other day stating that a correspondent had timed the autos passing a given point on the driveway around Stanley Park on the first fine distinguished from fixed stars by their steady light; they do not twinkle. The fixed star can only be seen as a twinkling point of light. About II p. m. look away to the southeast and you wi'l see a splendid reddish star, almost as large as Jupiter, and much more brilliant and beautiful in colpr. This is Mars, coming towards the earth at the raipid pace of 800,000 miles a day and will continue to do so until the 18th of June, when it will j be only 42,000,000 miles distant, the j nearest point it has come to our own planet for many years. Jupiter has nine satellites and wears a belt. Saturn has ten satellites and wears rings, while Mars has two satellites and has to wear (rightly or wrongly) i the acoutrements and. ill-omened reputation of the god of war! The other two members of our solar system— Uranus and Neptune—are only to be seen with the aid of a telescope, especially Neptune, whose orbit circles the sun at the immense *distance of 2,800,0011,000 miles, and some scientists believe, from«the arratic actions of Neptune itself, that there is- another panet belonging to our system outside that! Quien sabe? By the time this is in print ,the new moon will be bright enough to dim the brilliance of the planets. THE FARMER AND THE WOODLOT TOBACCOS Perhaps the greatest objection made to caring for the woodlot is the time it takes to produce large-sized timber. On Nthe farm, however, there are many uses for " small and medium- sized forest products and these take a comparatively short time to produce. On many woodlots a thrifty young growth already exists that will not require many years before it Is sufficiently large to uae. A little attention will shorten considerably the time required to produce marketable materia1. The use of small "dimension material is steadily increasing since the scarcity of wood in large dimension has forced the attention of manufacturers to the use of built-up wood. The war has done much to increase our knowledge regarding the possibil- ites in the use of laminated products, of which- the airplane is an example. This use of wood in small sizes makes it possible to market the produots of the woodlot, while the trejes are comparatively young.—Bulletin No. 69, Director of Forestry, Ottawa. j^ESagj^frEXPOSED ;gggggl Tfllfc III III I L A new man got a job on a railway train as a porter, and one of his first duties was to learn the rules, as laid down in the rule book of the railway for the safety of train and passengers.

One night the conductor going through the sleeping car noted a red lantern hanging in the passageway. He called the new porter and asked him what the lantern was doing there. "Why, chief," said the porter, "I was just carrying out the rules." "Never heard of any rule calling for a red lantern in a sleeping car," answered the conductor, "where did you get it from?" With an air of perfect positiveness the new porter got out his book of rules and pointed out Rule 27—"Caution—Always hang out a red lantern when the rear end of a sleeper is exposed." —Ex. E G. G.

Last Wednesday the autos passing j through Olatfa—the only highway between Penticton and Keremeos—followed each other with astonishing rapidity till'-one wondered where they all came from, and at one time—between 7 and 8 in the evening—they certainly came near being up to the Stanley Park record, one a minute. * * * * About ten years ago I remember reading a little book: "Is It Just?" by Minnie Smith, of Peachland, B.C. It is a very-interesting and well-written story about a remittance man and his noble-hearted wife, as well as other people, neighbors and fruit ranchers1 of the Okanagan Lake district. It was written with a purpose —that of showing up the injustice of the law which allowed a man to mortgage the ranch without his wife's signature or even knowledge. The reason I am writing about the book here and now is because I have just read it again and with considerably more than usual interest because the talented authoress, is no less a personage than our own teacher! Miss Smith will retire altogether from ■teaching school at the end of the present term and will in future depend entirely on her fruit ranch for her income, * | * * Probably some of my readers are interested in astronomy, but even those who know nothing of-, .astronomy will be able to admire the magnificent spectacle presented in the southern sky every night by the appearance of no less than three of the superior planets—Jupiter, Saturn and Mars—at the same time, and presenting one of the most brilliant views ever seen of our planetary family. These three are all exterior or outside planets, i. e., their, orbits are outside of ours, while Venus and Mercury are interior qr inside planets, and therefore when they are seen at their brightest it is always in the, crescent or half-moon shape, Not very high up jn the Jupiter, the giant planet WHERE TO BUY; WHAT TO BUY, AND WHY Let me whisper to you.
