THE PRINCETON STAR Published in the Interests of Mining and Agriculture in the Similkameen Twenty-third Year—No. 33 PRINCETON. B.C.. FRIDAY, JULY 7, 1922 PBR YEAR: Sa.oo Cash Single Copy gc. 1922 FRUIT YIELDS ARE ESTIMATED KEREMEOS APPLES ARE PUT AT 110% OF 1921—PENTICTON SET AT 60% Weekly News Letter No. 9, Horticultural Branch Vernoh, B. O, July 1. District No. 3—Okanagan Salmon Arm, June 28.—The weather continues hot and dry; lcjcal showers have fallen in some sections of the district, but these have not lasted long enough to help matters very materially. Strawberries |are coming" fairly strong up to the present, but the plants on mGfst patches are showfng the effects o£ the drought, and It is doubtful if the later berries will size up in many places. Raspberries will be starting fairly soon now) and are in great need of rain. Gooseberries are going out in small quantities: also cherries. Moisture, conditions in most orchards are satisfactory up to the present; the fruit is sizing well, and the trees! are putting on a satisfactory growth, but, unless, we get some good rains there will be trouble ahead. Vernon, June 30.—In the Vernon, Oyama, Okanagan Centre and Armstrong districts, the Wealthy, Duchess and Yellow Transparent apples are below *average and the crop will not run more than 70 per cent of last season in these varieties. Mcintosh are showing fairly good while Jonathan are genera'ly heavy. On the whole the fall and early winter varieties may be put at 10 to 15 per cent, be'ow 1921. The winters will be off 20 per cent. While Delicious are very heavy, such varieties as Rome Beauty and Newtowns are slightly under par, while Wagoners are off very considerably. Taking the tonnage as a whole the tonnage will run approximate^ 85 per cent, of 1921. Crab apples 50 to 65 per cent. Pears 85 per cent, of last year. Plums 85 to 90 per cent and Prunes nearly up to normal. The water situation at the present time is rather serious owing to the low precipitation of the past few months. Storage water is below normal in Vernon and elsewhere. The supply at all points is being carefully conserved. Kelown^jjline^ -^rThe Jbut^ok.4ojft -tfee-ft-pp1 o or<q» at tho pro'fflont ti6itr"lt>*' about 80 to 85 per cent, of last year. Mcintosh will run about 75 per cent. Jonathans 110 per cent, Delicidus up to 200 per cent., Wageners and New- towns 50 per cent., Crabs 25 to 35 per cent. Pears 80 to 85 per cent. Plums and Prunes 110 per cent. Cherries, while the size may not be up to last year, the crop *hould run pretty close to 100 per cent, of lasti year. The big factor which will-influence the tonnage in this district this year on the favorable side, is that Glenmore and Rutland districts wiU be heavy in sections where destructive frosts were experienced in several years previously. Some shippers go as far as to say that the distriot will have 100 per cent, of last year's apple tonnage, but this is not the opin- ipn of the majority and the percentage given seems to be the concensus of opinion. The water supply may have an influence later on in the season which will not be at all welcomed. In other words the supply at the present time does not seem to be as abundant in any. of the three systems in this dis- rict as it might be, and the storage capacity is be'ow normal. If rains do not come and assist the situation by relieving the heavy drain on the storage water, much grief in the way of small apples may be expected later on. All fruits, particularly apples at the presemt time are of splendid size and showing good development although considerable Drouth Spotting is in evidence where the soils-are deficient in humus. Penticton and Keremeos, June 28.— In this district Winesaps, Delicious, Jonathan and Spitzenberg are carrying good crops genera'iy. Mcintosh, Yellow Newtown and Wagener are very uneven, and although the fruit will possibly pack out better than, last year, the tonnage for these varieties will be much reduced. Pears do not appear to be quite as heavy as last year, although a very fair crop is1 showing. All soft fruits with the exception of Prunes, are good; Peaches and Sweet Cherries being a good deal heavier than last year. in the Penticton District the crop will be approximately as follows: Apples 60 per cent., Crabs 45 per cent., Pears 75 per cent., Plums 90 per cent, Prunes 90 per cent., Peaches 140 per cent., Cherries 125 per cent, Apricots 110 per cent The Keremeos district will run about: Apples 110 per cent., Plums and Prunes 125 per cent, Pears 100 per cent., Cherries 100 per cent Summerland, June 28.—The weather is keeping hot and dry and vegetable crops are being forced along. Cherries also are ripening fast. Black Tartarian and Royal Annes are being picked now. Bings will be ready in some p'aces next week. Royal Annes, Bings and Lamberts will be of good size and quality. Apricots have passed the stoning period, and peach thinning is about over. Apple thinning will not be general tin's season as the drop has been heavy in many orchards. Summerland, Peachland, Westbank and Naramata districts water supply is up to normal in all cases, but the 3E3C 60ALM0NT NEWS (Prom our own correspondent.) Mr. T.

To say that Joe performed his duties most creditably is putting it mildly. He and his horse knew their business, in keepling the crowd in order—and it was some crowd. * ♦ # # There was but one accident to mar our "sports" on the 1st, and luckily that was not serious. In one of the horse races, Stanley Bysouth's mount shied badly at the crowd, throwing his rider, who struck on his shoulder. He was soon on his feet and found to be only'bruised and shaken up a bit. * * * * It is about time something was done in the way of trying to find out what has become of one John Hukka. This man came here about September last and went to work placer mining on Granite Creek. He took with him provisions enough to last no longer than three months. The cabin he went to was in a lonely spot some ml'es up the creek. Nothing has been seen or heard of him since. Some men went up to the cabin the other day and fonnd only the missing man's blankets. This matter should be attended to without further delay. COALMONT CE1EBRATES ON DOMINION DAY Good Program of Sports Well Carried Out— Princeton Defeat Coalmont in Exciting B|(l Game In former years it has been the custom to celebrate the first of July at Princeton but this year it was decided to pass up the occasion and the people journeyed "en masse' to the neighboring camp of Coalmont, where a successful celebration was held. The committee in charge had spared neither time nor trouble in preparing a splendid program of sports and it was carried through exactly as advertised with the exception of the tug-of-war. A belated attempt was made to organize teams representing the mine and the town but the contest that ensued in the dark was not satisfactory and the event will be hq'd on some future occasion. The athletic sports included something for everybody, from the wee tots six years up the bald-headed veterans of fifty and over. The ladies events were all well contested and elicited great applause. The' horse events were not designed to break world's records but' rather to create friendly competition among the local miners, many of whom have their own' saddle horses which they ride to. and from their work. It is the intention, however, to try and have a Tace track before the next celebra-: tion. The stellar attraction was, of course, the ball game between Coal-,; mont and Princeton. Fans who had'; witnessed the game ait Princeton, which required twelve innings to reach a decision, expected a battle royal and they were not disappointed; It was far from being errorless ball' but with the score a tie in the closing inning it was chuck full of thrills that kept the fans on their tip-toes and defied the best efforts of Field Marshal Wigmore in keeping them, from encroaching on the diamond, though in this respect there was a decided improvement on the Princeton game. George A'icn occupies the mound for Princeton throughout the game dml in eulHted lutr-i/ii', isimfu—oir-ere-j illt for the win. In the ninth inning with second ard third bases occupied and only one down, he struck out two tatters. Flui^mer and Horn di- videJ the work cf tw.'r.»ng for Coalmont and botn were equally efl active. Though rumors were rampant of an imported battery .or the Princeton team, the j.uy ch.inge in the linkup from the preceding game waj Harry Avery who replaced Van Smith Curiously enoas i Harry supplied thf lucky break taut decided the ga.i.o. In Iho ninth, after Ffrrar had ground ed tut and Slovin had whiffed, Dec Smitii singled and ALen iollowed with a double. Avery__foJlowed. The best he could produce was a weak pop lly to first, but it was enough. Someone must have greased George McMahon's mitt for he allowed the ball to trickle through and the decisive run was scored. C. H. Martin, CoaVmont's new provincial constable umpired the galne to the satisfaction of both sides. The Pipers' band enlivened all intervals with their music and contributed greatly to the enjoyment of the day. The accommodation and entertainment of visitors was well attended to by the citizens of Coalmont The management of the hotel is deserving of special credit for the preparations they had made. Large as the crowd was they could have ac c^mmodated twice the number. |H}he dance in the evening in the spacious dining room or the hotel proved a splendid finale to the day's enjoyment. Good music, a good floor aud a congenial crowd all contributed to hold the merry-makers till a late h.mr in the morning. A feature of the celebration which no doubt appealed very favorably to ijfe public, but which we learned was not intended, was the absence of any ejferge. Small flags had been secured f<»■ the purpose of tagging the people but the effort was abandoned early in jtbse forenoon.

The new map will be similar to that issued by the Good Roads League a year'ago, but will be only in one color. These maps have now practically all been distributed. The new map will be a little larger than the old one and on the back a complete log of the road will be printed. It will also include the new Revelstoke road and efforts are Being made to have it completed in time to be distributed on August 17, when His Honor Lieut-Governor W. C. Nichol will perform the opening ceremony of that highway. Mr. D. McN. Lowe, secretary of the Penticton board of trade, has been appointed by the associated boards to make the log of the route, and left on Friday morning by auto on that mission. Cars for Jiis transportation are being supplied by the different boards of trade, each board being responsible for carrying him to the next town. He expects to return next Tuesday. When cotfapleted the maps will be handled locally by the various boards of trade or Goods Roads Leagues of the towns interested. , -, iw.-o. juavJUMun/ p.adies Sack Race—1, Miss McKay Men's Races 00 Yards Dash—1, Frank Jhon; 2, George McMahon; 3, Horn. 100 Yards Dash,' collieries ployees—1, Geo.

PICNIC HELD creeks are falling rapidly and a shortage can be looked for should no mountain rain storms come along soon. Naramata has done much work' on their system this past two years and are in goad shape. In the Summerland, Peachland, Westbank and Naramata districts the crop will be approximately as follows: Summerland and Naramata—Jonathans 85 per cent., Mcintosh 75 per cent, Newtowns 80 per cent, Winter Banana 90 per cent., Wagener 30 per cent, Northern Spy 50 per cent., Rome Beauty 85 per cent, of last year's crop. Other varieties will run about 60 per cent. The average apple crop will be approximately 70 per cent, of 1ast year's crop. Apricots 120 per cent, Peaches 100 per cent., Plums 90 per cent., Prunes 75 per cent., Pears 90 per cent., Cherries 60 per cent.

Shortly after one o'clock parents and children began to arrive at the church, and by 2 o'c'ock about twenty auto loads had left for the picnic grounds. It was ^estimated about 150 attended. During the afternoon a programme of sports was run off; and we understand that some good records were made, notably in the running high jump, when Bill Mattin, in the senior boys' class, cleared the rail at 4 ft. 6 in.; and Everett French, in the 12 year class, made 3 ft. 6 in. Immediately following a sumptuous picnic supper, at which ice cream was served all the way round and half way back, the married men defeated the senior boys in a game of basebal'. We understand that the official rules were not strictly adhered to in this game. Altogether the outing was voted by all who attended, to have been one of the most enjoyable events of the kind that has taken place here for some time. Mr. Herbison wishes to^thank all those who helped, both by the loan of their cars and by cash donations, to make the affair such a success. THURSDAY AFTEBNOON NOW LEGAL! HALF-HOLIDAY Mr. W. A.

Lambert went to Vancouver on Sunday last to meet her daughter, Mrs. Scrim and young son, who were expected to arrive on the Empress of Russia the following day from Manilla, Philippine Islands. Among others whjo celebrated the national holiday at Coalmont on Saturday we noticed out old friend Judge Murphy. If, as is claimed, a man's age is indicated byj fhe interest he takes in current events the Jduge is still in his prime despite his 82 summers.

C. G. E. FRENCH, Manager SUBSCRIPTION RATES British Empire, One Year $2.00 foreign, One Year Payable in Advance. 2.50 FRIDAY JULY 7, 1922 RURAL ADVANCEMENT Progress of rural life, like other progress, must come from within rather than from without The "back to the farm" slogan, so often heard, is more or less' a cry from another direction. It is designed as a relief to the overloaded industries of the cities. It throws out a request for the country to provide sustenance for people in temporary distress. That is not the way to build up-a strong rural life. "The real country life movement," says G. W. Fiske.^n a study of country life opportunity, "is a campaign for rural progress conducted mainly by rural people, not a paternalistic plan on the part of the city folk for rural redemption." The contention is that rural civilization should become just as effective and satisfying to young life as urban. The urban civilization has the start in this matter. The social trend has been in that direction. The country gravitates into the adjacent villages and towns; the towns into the cities. Men like to follow the crowd. That, it will be. easily discerned, is poor business, unless there is some higher motive than the simple desire to go where the crowd is. In the more mature and experienced social thought of today the true rtiAthod of rural development is feound to be discerned. The country residents must help themselves. They must work out their own salvation to a large extent. Those who go among them as teachers and leaders of various professions must become rurally-minded in their interest and not look upon country life as a makeshift or a "stepping-stone" to something else, but as life's calling, worthy of the best service.—Manitoba Free Press. SHORTER HOURS RUT MHRF WORK Carefully compiled statistics prove beyond a doubt that, within reasonable limits, shorter working hours in industry mean higher individual output and improved quality of work done. In England it has been found tha.t the best results among women workers are obtained when the daily shift is reduced to six hours. Some attempt was made, particularly by Lord Leverhume, to show that this indicated a desirable length of shift for the average worker in all industries, but without success. It is generally agreed that the eight hour day must eventually be recognized as the standard, just as the eight-hour shift is the logical division of the day where continuous operation is imperative as in the mining and metallurgical industries, says a writer in the Engineering and Mining Journal- Press of New York, in, discussing the proposal to abolish the twelve-hour shift in steel industry. The president is reported to have said that he was in favor of the change on humanitarian grounds, and Secretary of Labor Davis maintains that the reduction o' working hours would benefit the working man materfially. This writer, however, argues that the universal eight-hour day will ultimately mean greater profit to the employer. What is best for the workmen, he says, is likewise best for business.

McCONNELL, Prop. SUITS MADE TO ORDER Tailoring • Cleaning - Pressing ROD AND GUN IN CANADA "Men of the Hudson's Bay Company," is the title of a new continued feature which starts in the July Issue of Rod and. Gun in Canada. It is by N. M. W. J. McKenzie, a; man who spent many years in the service of the company, and who, by reason of his long term of service, is able to present a narrative of absorbing interest, full of reminiscences of the days and the events of the North of bygone days. It will be continued in future issues of the magazine, and it is certain to prove an intensely popular feature. There is a fish story entitled "Shooting Fish," which is told in humorous vein, by that well known writer, Maximilian Foster. H. Mortimer Batten, whose work has become very popular with Rod and Gun readers, is alj his best in "Fire- point," a thrilling tale. Then there are other features and articles which are well up to the standard. The departments are of generous size and high quality, and altogether the July number is one o£ the best ever published. Rod and Gun in Canada is pub- tario, by W. J. Taylor, Limited. A seasonable subject for debate is suggested by a Toronto paper: "Is it better to take summer holidays now and feel fit for the rest of the season, or to take them later and feel fit for fall and winter?" The man who goes early can spend the remainder of the summer telling about the fish he caught, but the man who waits can have months of anticipation regarding the fish he has yet to catch."

NEW VARIETIES OF GRAINS How the New Varieties Measure up Under Test The cei^al division of the Dominion Experimental Farm system does not distribute new varletieg;>of grain to the public until-- their superiority to the older sorts has been proved, and the conditions of soil and climate have been determined under which fhey best thrive. While a> few Of the now sorts described in the report of tho Dominion Cerealist for 1921 will be available for distribution in the near future, the majority require further study before their %£8tt;t status can be defined. In addition to the <,exg0riment9 and tests being conducted at the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, they are being carried on at upwards of twenty other farms and stations covering; every province, four being in British Coluigbia.,' five in Alberta, three in Saskatchewan, one as well as the Central in Ontario,..two in Quebec, two In Nova Scotia, and one each in Manitoba, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, and the Yukon Territory. Last year ther« were tried out, according to this report just issued, 112 variteies of spring wheat, of which Garnet Ottawa 652 made the best record, maturing in 86 days from July 16, the date of sowing, and yielding 2,880 lbs. of grain per acre; seven varieties of enfnjer and spelt, of which the best was Early Emmer Ottawa, maturing in 90 days from July 20, and yielding 2,280 lbs. per aore; 27 varieties of oats, of which Gold Rain proved the best, yielding 2,460 lbs. per acre in 85 days; 103 varieties of barley, of which Stella Ottawa 58 proved the best, the yield being 2,9'40 lbs. in 77 days; five varieties of spring rye, of which Common yielded 2,160 lbs. per acre In 85 days; 29 VaTteLTes -otLiield IpeasT'aTi-SOWn May 6, of which Early Blue, Ottawa 21, was the earliest ripener and best yielder, the record reading 2,400 lbs. per acre; in 75 days; 14 varieties of field beans, all-gown May £6, the best yielder being White Pea with 3,060 j lbs. per acre in 99 days, taking 25 j more days' to ripen than Carleton, Ottawa ■ 718, 137 varieties of flax, of which the best producer was Banc Ottawa 62 with 990 lbs. per acre in 80 days, and 18 varieties of barley for hay, of which/ the best proved to be Forage, Ottawa 675, with 14,607 lbs. per acre in 61 days from July 12, the date of sowing.

TIP BURN OF POTATOES (Experimental Farms Note.) '! lis disease is first seen on potato p'aiHs about the latter part of July, with the most severe effects from tfie middle of August to the first week in September. The leaves exhibit a burning at their tips and margins, later the whole top withers and the plant dies prematurely. This condition is most noticeable in hot, dry, windy weather and particularly during periods of dry and sunny weather following rain. With regard to the cause of this disease, there is much difference of opinion, and several agencies' have been suggested as responsible for the burning of the leaves. The effect of excessive evaporation of water from the surface of leaves in extreme heat and sunshine with the consequent death of certain eel's in the leaf, has been suggested as the cause of tip burn. Other authorities claim to have definitely demonstrated that the potato leaf hopper is the cause of tip burn; thus! the name "hopper burn," which is also applied to this disease. More recent investigations associate the leaf hopper with the disease, but claim that there is some "specific," either normal or extraneous, which is transmitted by the leaf hopper and is the direct cause of the burning on the potato leaves. This wag, shown by the fact that tip burn could be produced by inoculating macerated leaf hoppers into potato leaves. The regular Bordeaux mixture spray has been found to be beneficial in the control of this disease. Those believing in extreme heat and sunshine as the principal causal agency, associate this control with the layer of Bordeaux mixture on the leaf acting as a protection from severe evaporation. Others claim that it destroys the hoppers and. again tne spray is also supposed to act as a deterrent for the hoppers. In any case the Bordeaux mixture has been demonstrated as capable of arresting the development of the burning and this is but further proof of the importance of careful and systematic spraying of potato plants.

Ganong's Chocolates GAS 8TATION THE FOOD VALUE OF DAIRY PRODUCTS AUTOMOBILISTS AND FORE&6 FIRES In many parts of this continent it is found that automobile registrations and forest fires are increasing about proportionately. A great many people are touring about the country, seeking out places awayTrom the railways and main _Jiigh ways and, unfortunately through carelessness \vitfi*"ffre, some of the.m misuse ajid. destroy the forests. There is no desire on the part ©faforest authorities to bj&r citizens from the forests, but there is no1 reason why forest fires should follow in the wake of the automobile. All that is needed is that every tourist who camps for the night or stops at noon to boil his kettle in the woods should personally see to it that his fire is dead out before he leaves it. Those who go into the woods for etither business or pleasure see the value of the forests and should catch the enthusiasm for. the conservation and proper utilization of this great Can adian resource. Milk and dMFy products generftHy* are; of inestimable food value to the human race, and their comparatively moderate cost makes them accessible to practically . every one. Further than that, the products of the. dairy add immensely to the wealth of the country. It is a question if.the people of Canada sufficiently appreciate either the economic value of the dairy industry to the country at large, or the food value of milk and its products to the individual. In Britain the consumption of cheese per capita greatly exceeds ours. In butter we do better; but in milk our consumption individually has been shown to be one quarter qJL-8l Piflt compared with hair~9T pint per" head 15 Hie United States. Since the advent of prohibition, however, the United States consumption per capita has increased to three quarters of a pint, and there is evidence to show that Canadians are also taking a great deal more to lacteal fluid than formerly. The importance of milk in the diet of both young- and old is constantly being emphasized by the medical profession. Ma,l-nutrition or undernourishment, it should be understood, is not always the result of insufficient food, but frequently of unwisely and improperly chosen foods. This is supported by the fact that investigation has shown that a large percentage of under-nourished children are the offspring of well-to-do parents. The thoughtful mother will see that her children get plenty of mUk from which to build a strong framework, develop mental capacity, and good .health. Future happiness depends largely on. these factors.—Issued by the Director of Publicity, Dominion Department of AgricuJture, Ottawa1. PAYING UP HINTS FOR CAMPERS IN THE FOREST Be sure your match is out. Pinch it before you throw it away. Build a small camp-fire. Build it in the open, not against a tree or log or-near brush. Scrape away the trash from all around it. Never leave a camp-fire, eyen for a short time, without quenpiing it with water and then covering it with earth. When I have paid my monthly bills, I feel some pleasant, grateful thrills, emotions safe and sane; glad smiles among my whiskers play, and to myself I softly say, "I have not lived in vain!". Downtown T journey in my coach; I see tho tailor, Jinks, approach, and do not fear his glance; for I have paid him every groat I owed him for my picnic coat, and my high water pance. I meet the tinsmith face to face; he bows to me with princely grace, he's glad to get •my trade; he overhauled ray handsome bus, and din't have to fret and cuss o'er payment long, delayed. And all the merchant princes smile as I proceed, in pompous style, along Commercial street; I've paid the grocer for his cheese, the farmer for his humble bees, the butcher for his meat. Oh, friends, It is a goodly thing to walk, as proudly as a king, although you have no crown, to rprance along with, stately tread, and know you do not owe a red to any skate in town.

Len LeLievre is home again after i a strenuous and very exciting sojourn : ia the State of Washington. * * * * Miss NMinnie Smith, who has been j teaching at (Slalla school for the past | six months, left for her home at ' Peachland on Thursday's stage. This i is her last school, she says. She in- l tends to put in all her time on her fruit ranch. Miss Smith won the ap- j proval of the parents and trustees, j and the pupils made quite a notice- ! able advance under her tuition during : her short term. * * * * . The Government road truck' has j been passing through twice a day for the past week, sometimes loaded with lumber and sometimes with men, with Dune. Campbell at the wheel. The rebuilding of Cedar creek bridge, which was pretty well wrecked during the recent) high water, has been the cause of the truck's activity, and now I understand the structure is finished and is even stronger and better looking than it was before. * » * * Arthur Smitherham came down from the mine on Friday. He says he has quit underground mining; can't stand the smoke and gas. In company with his brother, Tom, he is thinking of going into the Lillooet country to see if they can take up land. There are various mineral zones in that district, and as both boys are good miners it may be a most opportune thing for them to have two strings) to their bow. * * * * Last Tuesday Mrs. Hazel McFarlane was taken suddenly ill and her mother, Mrs. L. M. Chase, sent for Nurse Purcell. When she arrived she saw the case was a serious one and told Mrs. Chase she had better send for a doctor. Mrs. McFarlane was unconscious for several hours. Dr. Affleck, of Penticton, arrived?, as soon as gasloine could bring him and he pronounced it heat prostration. The patient Is improving now, but still in bed. $ i * v Determined to miss none of the elaborate programme advertised for the Dominion Day celebration at Pen ticton, Peter WiHlamson left here by auto the evening before. He had a seat in the car of a former Olallalian, Peter Bromley, who worked as blacksmith for the Olalla Copper Mining, & Smelting company twenty-two.. years ago and resided here with his wife and two children, Elwood and' Ethel. Glad to see Pete has advanced to the dignity of a car owner. * » m m Honor roll of Olalla school for June: First primer—Sophy Verdan, 83 per cent. Second primer* "fcftnle Verdan, 81.

We have had three dry months —April, May and June. Had it been June, July and August there would be serious losses to report. But we are not out of the woods yet. At present writing it looks very like a dry July, and then it will be four straight strictly drouth months. It is quite possible, but let us hope not probable. Still, it looks that way now. If we get no more rain in the next two months than we did in the last two, well, all I can say is "Goodnight!" m m m * Jimmy Riordan is preparing to make his annual pilgrimage to the summit for the purpose of doing the assessment work on his claims on Riordan Mountain. He goes up every year as soon as the snow is sufficiently gone to allow him to get there (usually the first week in July) and stays until thev snow comes again to drive him out, usually some time in October. Up there his only visitors are whisky jacks and Arctic crows and. he has got them so. tame that they come and eat out of his hand. When he wants to replenish his larder he goes over to the Nickel Plate, about six miles, and brings back the grub in a wheelbarrow. » ♦ * * For several weeks past the heat in this section has bee.n abnormal. Today (Sunday) had it not' been for a refreshing breeze it would have been almost unendurable, as the thermometer reached 100 degrees in the shade. And at night the heat has been unprecedented for many years past in this valley. At 9 p. m. it was over 80 degrees. And there is no promise of an immediate change, as the new moon is surely a "dry" moon. But the autos don't seem to mind it a bit. They rush by at the same terrific rate of speed as usual, whirling along with them a cloud of dust and leaving behind them a trail of hazy shimmer —and a big stink—as they gaily glide out of sight around the bend. It seems like a huge joke to the flivver, but the roads suffer terribly. "Breaking Up" at Olalla School The "breaking up" function for the summer holidays took place at Olalla school on Thursday, when the scholars put up a creditable programme of song and recital. One of the songs, "Our Dear Olalla Home," was a local product and was sung to the tune of "My Old: Kentucky Home," which is sure a. fine tune anyhow, no matter what the words may be. The first lines are: "The days are warm in our dear Olalla home, 'Tis summer, the flowers are gay; The stream flows fast and the meadows are in bloom. While the birds sing sweetly all the day." Chorus: "Hail to thee, ' Olalla, Thou lovely sparkling gem; We will sing one song for our dear | Olalla home, For our dear Olalla home in the glen." There were numerous examples of the pupils' work in | drawing, paint- ] ing, etc., but the most interesting i were the samplqs of card stitching, which appears to be' an exceUent j method of impressing things upon the ' juvenile memory. It is a new idea. to me; school teachers did not think- of sueh innovations when I was a kid. j It is the use of the needle and thread j instead of the lead pencil in follow-; ing the outlines of any animal, bird, flower, plant or vegetable, so that a small child who is a careful stitcher I can produce a picture quitrt as good as a grown-up, and a better one if the grown-up is not a car'efu1 stitcher. Prizes were given for map drawings of British Columbia and the Similkameen district* the fortunate winners being Beatrice Bolivar, John Christian and Cecile Verdan. Little Willie Foster's map was excellent for a shild of his age and was highly commended by the judges. Several lady visitors were present and the affair was a success all through. Thanks are due Mrs. Archibald Irwin for the time and attention she devoted to the training of the chi'dren in singing, and I understand Mrs. Irwin also had a hand in the composition of some of the songa rendered. With deep regret Miss Smith took leave of Olalla and her pupils and friends here. This will be her last appearance as a school marm. All her time from now on will be devoted to her fruit ranch at Peachland, on the beautiful Okanagan Lake. Here's good health and good luck to her. \ 6AWST0N NOTES } (From our own correspondent.)
