(A. Lindley), the two Creston fruit shipping concerns, was finally affected at a last committee meeting cm "Friday night. The business will .be conducted _.r_4er th_ rase of th*. Gr������_to-ri j. rait Growers Union, Limited, with A. X-indle"*** in charge.' ~ - ' ' Of course all these meetings' were not necessary to complete the amalgamation ' of the two firms. Like all other fruit-shipping concern the Fruit Growers Union had some real financial difficulties to oyercome and make provision for and this detail will during 1815 be handled by a finance committee composed of Messrs. Rodgers, Hamilton and Watson. Some amendments were ai������o made to the company's articles" of organization, so that at future meetings the doctrine of one man one vote will prevail. While Mr, Lindley is to all intents and purposes manager, he will be officially' known" as-sales manager and, as the name implies, he will devote all the time possible on the selling end of the job. Furthermore, the policy wiii be^ to sell as much as possible * .direct, to-Hfche retailor, and it is " Mr. Lindlpiv'fi in- tention to work all the towns between here and Medicine Hat and also those north as far as Edmonton. East of the Hat he will only work the bigger places such as Maple Creek, Swift Current, Moose Jaw, Regina, Saskatoon, etc. While it is not expected that the entire Valley crop can be sold in this way, yet where necessary to sell to wholesale houses prices i'.o.b.

The reader, however, must not assume that the elements were successful in what looked like a conspiracy against the whites. While the entire field could not he eovered be it known that the local workers started in to make hay right after Messrs. Taylor and Schofield had signed the register at the Creston House, and a little side trip 'was made out West Creston direction, where - some " improvements are quite necessary. _ , - The journey '-was not in vain, either. On Friday afternoon Mr. Taylor assured The Review that a grant of $1,500 wo.uld be made this year for a bridge across the sloughs between the Reclamation Farm ahd "the French and, Simmons iranches. This, amount - may -not seem", larg^ but m thin ypar-when little more than repair work is being done all over the province the sum is quite satisfactory.- Given the hearty cooperation of the residents in that section the $1,500 will work a great big imTO',;"eme!'-t there. Besides, if the appropriation for biidges holds out an extra allowanco may be forthcoming for the approaches. An appropriation lias been made for a bridge across the ravine at R.

The aim will be to see that the present highways are put in first- class shape and kept that way. This is already being affected as Mr. Leach is in charge of a gang in the Canyon City district; Matt. Hagen has a or<**w at Duck Greek, and work will start at once slashing out and widening the Kitchener road. So far as possiblo the preference will be given married men.

Only last week did we have the news that the Great Northern Railway had put JPort Hill down to one train a week while in this issue we have to convey the unfortunate intelligence that at an early hour on Monday morning the whole town practically was destroyed by fife; and still worse, only one of the sufferers carried insurance. Just how the fire originated is a mystery.

About the only criticism to offer, is that there were too few- lighter numbers in -the musical menu.

The only business places standing, today are the barber shop, Spot's saloon, which were across the street from the store, and the general store and po&toflice of H.A.

Precisely three years and throo days previously his hotel at Kootenay, Idaho, near Bonners Ferry, was destroyed by fire.

AN OLD TRAVE.LL.3I.. cheapest, simplest and most effective for stinking smut of wheat, -smut of oats, and covered smut of barley when properly used, it will be described. The commercial (40 per cent.) formalin is used in solution with water at the rate of one pint i.i ib.} to forty gallons. The grain to be treated should be spread out upon, a clean floor or canvas, in a layer two- or three inches thick. The solution is then sprinkled over il. An ordinary sprinkling caif or Si-iali spray pump is usc_yul foi* this purpose. The grain should be shovelled or raked - over during sprinkling to insure that every- grain is thoroughly jwetted. After this, the grain is shoveled into a close, pile and covered with canvas or' old -sacks to hold in the fumes of the formalin. The grain should remain in the covered pile for from eight to ten hours, after which it must be spread out thin so as to dry without sprouting. One gallon of' solution is sufficient "for a busttt.- oi grunt. ,After di*ying, the seed may be planted at once or stored for future- use. Here it is important to remember that .the seed may become re-infested from old sacks, bins or even the drill itself. Everything, therefore, which comes in contact with:the grain-after it is treated should befirst thoroughly disinfected with a strong formalin solution. Commercial formalin usually costs from twenty-five to fifty cents a pound (pint). If the grain is planted before it, is completely dry. enough more should be sown to compensate for the increase hi si!i.e of th������ seed through swelling.

The Importance of Short Rotations Good Cultivation The presence of weed seeds in soils under different systems of culture aud cropping should be suggestive to farmers. An.investigation being conducted by the Seed Branch, Ottawa, shows a sod field which had been in hay or pasture for- six years tn contain 19,183 weeji seeds in a surface square yard one"* inch dsep, 8,912 in the same volume of soil at a depth from two to three inches and 4,309 at a depth five to seven inches. Another field which- had been under a good system of cultivation and rotation contained 4,984 weed seeds in the surface soil and 3,020 in each of the other * depths. The concentration of seeds in the surface layer the sod field may be explained by weeds being allowed to reproduce, themselves- from years to year. Information as to the percentage vitality of weed seeds at. the different depths is not yet complete, but a large number of the surface seeds in the case of the sod field are vital. This investigation indicates the' * importance of short rotations, good cultivation and prevention of weeds going to seed.

Nervoug .Diseases In The Spring Cured by Toning* the Blood and Strengthening the Nerves It is the opinion of the best medical authorities,- ~ after long observation that nervous diseases are more cot". mon and more serious in the spring than at any other time of the year. Vital changes in the system, after long winter months, may cause tnuch more trouble than the familiar spring weakness and weariness from which most people suffer as the result of indoor life, in poorly ventilated and often overheated buildings. Official records prove that in April and May neuralgia, St. Vitus dance, epilepsy and other forms of nerv ��� troubles are at their worst, aud that then, more than any other time, a blood making, nerve- restoring tonic is needed. The antiquated custom of taking purgatives iu the spring is useless, for the system really needs strengthening, while purgatives *~only gallop through the bowels, leaving you weaker. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills" are the best medicine, for they ..ctually make the new, rich, red blood that feeds the starved nerves, i\nd thus cure the many forms of nervous disorders. They cure also such other forms of spring troubles as headaches, poor appetite, weakness in the limbs, as well as remove unsightly pimples and eruptions. In fact they unfailingly bring now health and strength to weak, tired and depressed men, women and jtjliildren.

We have a complete range in . Shoes for Ladles i crniC I )"0H!_a in hlaok and tan���������also the kinds to stand the wear and tear of hard factory manner, the only hope for the average grower is in co-operation through an association. The idea of fruit growers associations is not altogether a new one, as there were sucb associations in Switzerland several hundred years ago. Since then fruit growers associations in various parts of the world have operated- successfully*, but there have beee so many failures of as-sociations that too often, the many successful in- stances are lost- ������.ghfc of. and many a fruit grower when he bears the co-operative idea advanced, is usually ready with a. list of unhappy efforts and failures which he offers with the conviction that tbey are an unanswerable argument in support of bis own disinclination to interest, himself actively in the matter, or to give to an association the loyal support that it requires. Association work on the American continent has not as a whole been a. brilliant success, &uu yet ������n aitnost every case of failure the cause of the failure has been evident and might have been avoided. In nine cases out of ten tbe reasons for failure might have been found in one or more of the following causes:��������� Lack of business methods, The fact that the idea is a comparatively new one in this counti-y. Loose organization. Inability to control their crops. Selfish pei*sonal ends. Personal jealousies. Difference in grading and packing fruit. Too great a prosperity among the members. Lack of absolute necessity to combine. Associations of men for the purpose' of marketing or purchasing or both, .-no fundamentally the samo, and both Europe and America offer us examples of such associations that are notable successful. The 'Rochdale Stores, the largest merchandise establishment in the world, nnd conducted purely on co-operative lines, the California Fruit Exchange which now handles something over sixty percent of the citrus fruits grown in California. The Grand Junction Fruit Growers Association of Colorado nnd many others might be mentioned as live up-to-date successful organization that are contributing immensely Ui the material welfare of t heir members and in the cases of the fruit growers associations have gone far toward the attainment for the husbandman of that position of social dignity which rightly should bo and ultimately will bo his. It would be well if men who contemplate the formation of a co-oporntiyo association would on eh make a thorough study of tbe history of ono or more co-operative associations that have proved suceessfnlr* und of the conditions and circumstances loading to its formation. Much a study would not prove dry work or unprofitable, for thi' history of tho average successful association is it romance replete with i*ii.oth.i., often the. story of a community (hut ulU'i- years of apparently r.'������iii,.i-tw. ������.������..., ;;_l;ii'V."il ���������.���������aw.coph mid prosperity.

This in brief is the story of a success achieved through co-operation by fmit -growers who were reduced to the point of abandoning their industry, and is but a fair criterian of what may be accomplished along the same lines by any group of men engaged in fruit growing who are willing to sink petty jealousies and differences and work together in "a broad spirit, each having at heart tbe interests of the others. Co-operation among those engaged in fruit growing has been more succes- ful in the west than in the east. This has been due to certain peculiar differences in fruit growing in the one section as compared with the other. The East was settled by a type of men, who to say the least were of a decided independent turn of mind. They pioneered the wilderness, creating homes each of which was sufficient unto itself. The farm house was the factory in which was supplimented the produce of tbe fields, the water and the forest. Each family living unto itself developed to a greater degree the spirit of self sufficiency and independence. In the West a different type of men have of late years engaged in agriculture in general and in fruit growing in particular. Business and professional men have left tho East and the Old Country and have come west in search of an attractive climate, to indulge a taste for funning or for the sport of stream and forest. These men have been strongly attracted toward fruit giowing, affording na it does a better return on the money and ln-bor put into it, if the investment, be backed by brains, than does any other branch of agriculture, dolightftil work, and to t,Vj������- otudeiit or lover of Mature a fascination and interest that never fail. These men have brought into tho business of fruit growing, business methods, and having all their lives beon dependent to a great extent on community organization havo also brought into fruit growing a decided inclination for co-operation. It is such men, possessed of business experience and tho spirit for co-operation whohavo pushed western horticulture so far to the front, and overcome-sonn-of the greatest diH.ciiltios that ever besot tho path of agricultural development.

Added to this is the ignorance on the ������k?t of the average grower of the conditions prevailing in the various markets to which he may ship his fruit..A- The result is only what may be expected-^a glutting of the local markets, and of some distant markets to which, _s usually'happeus, many growers have simultaneously shipped their fruit. This condition is intensified by the ^act that, ^ owing to lack of storage facilities, too great a portion of the fruit crop- is rushed to market in the autumn when the prices are usually lowest. ��������� In the years of the greatest production of apples it is doubtful that, the supply really equalled the demand. Apparent over-production has invariably amounted merely to poor distri- tion. One of the chief causes of the \GVr p.-ices of this year was the breaking down of the machineiy of distribution. The war caused a shortage of ships/ preventing the usual shipment of fruit abroad. On the London market apples were quoted in April at over 20 shillings per box. The proper distribution of produce is one of the greatest benefits derived from an organization. Other benefits are: It enables small growers to ship in car lots; it enables the growers to establish a brand that will become* known in the markets and thus ensure better prices; it makes possible bettor business methods in dealing with fruit buyers, transportation companies.o.tc.; it enables a community to make use of varieties of fruit that for any reason it may not bo desirable to grow except in small quantities; it generally brings better equipment, w.eh nn cool storage plants, etc., for handling tho fruit crop; it insures hotter care of tho orchards; it results in greater stability of the industry. Generally speaking the most promising type of association is one that handles a largo share of the output of fruit or produce from any section with natural onyironmont uniform enough to produce a fruit with uniform characteristics for the entire section.

In practice, however, it. is web io amalgainale ou.yUio.ic local anhoci._- tions that have consolidated their organization, awakened in their members the true spirit of co-operation, and tbe ability and willingness to maintain a high grade of produce.

Separate School Teacher Speaks TELLS. OF THE GOOD DODD'S KID- NEY PILLS HAVE DONE Canada Should Increase Her Productions as ivlych as Possible According to reliable .statistics there are tied up at the present time about two billion bushels: of wheat, the production of the countries at war. This is Ain the vicinity of half the world's- total production, of wheat. A recognized authority. argues that granting that the warring nations produce a one-half crop in the coming year, a deficit of one billion bushels will still be shown. The three countries upon which the filiin;?' of this deficit of one billion bushels will rest are" Canada, the United States and Argentina. The\combined output of these three countries is only 3,249,- 000,000; their ; exportable surnlus would, of coiirse, be much less, so it can easily *be~ seen that ths question is not one to be easily solved, and it behooves Canada to increase 3ier productions as much as she possibly can, for when the war is over and trade begins to re-establish itself and the nations Undergo a process of rehabilitation, the demand for all bread- stuffs must be enormous.

So mueh_ has been spoken, written, :4c- tured7 or the unemployed men, oZ the fall of the real estate, boom, of "the slump in rents and the tightness of - money���������that we have forgotten about the real west. The real west is, in tli._ country���������not the dozen or less cities. The real west is in the unboomed. -I have just completed a. tour of uome two dozen Alberta agricultural districts, and one district in Saskatchewan, I have talked with bhnk managers, interviewed homesteaders, chatted with country merchants. Let! me say here that if this same trip ' coultt be vtuv6_i yy ssnic s������ our financiers, magnates and others who only could tell what they found, the west would have a boom such as it has never iiad. Rather than give the names: of each district in which the Btories'are connected. I will append at the end of this article the names of the districts visited hy ihe. Then it will not look like a board of trade publicity campaign. In one district I met a man who had been a street car conductor, first in Toronto, then in / Edmonton. Five years ago he tools a homestead, and ail he had was a lot of s-maition and ������ very little money���������less than $500. That was five years ago. Today be owns over 700 acres of land; 50 horses, 200 head of cattle, and his bank account shows a credit of $7,800���������the cash being this year's wheat money. His laud, his stock and his equipment are all paid for. In another district, Sust ou. of a town which in the boom days. was much boomed, there iscnotner man. T-. ������������A<n__4nn-1 ._*__ l.fk V^SS a SCT*'hB*'~ ���������a poorly paid aewsp&psr man (no Oilier SUIMI Ujl ������fc ikx* -n ojtKwyx.*. -.__������*������**_. *.-%,������������o p-.-sible). He never farmed in his life before. He has been eight years on th������ land. He is a modest man and doesn't like to talk about his own success. In those eight years he has accumulated two section i of land, some 300 head of cattle, and Erad- streets rate iiiui ������������ _vj.i_-. y~������..,,.,v~. That's better than the Journal of Commerce editor could do in eight years. In a third'district there.is an ex- plumber. He admits that the plumber Is usually well paid, but it doesn't compare with farm life in the Canadian west. He started with $600, and he hasn't ended up yet. His hogs bring him $6,000 per yeai\ and wheat last year brought him:������6,500. ^ His farm life has lasted six years and he doesn't want to go back to the city. In a Saskatchewan village _ met a bank manager who mildly intimated that he had gone into farming as a Bide line. The week I met him he notified the elevators at Port Arthur that they could let hla 6,000 bushels of wheat go when it reached the $1.30 There are/ hundreds of farmers of the * /est who are making ' fortunes. They ar_3 making them quietly and saying little about _t. Men au coming into Alberta and Saskatchewan from the. Dakotas, from Iowa, the middle ahd western, states. Moro would come if they could get rid of their1 American holdings. The little towns of Alberta are - in splendid shape. I can name a dozen towns of 150 population through whicli the hog shipments run into 5300,000 annually, and,the wheat and grains from' $400,- 000 to $1,000,000 annually The country is booming, but their ears are so deafened, with the knockingNand pessimism that the;g������ know it not. They are in the midst of prosperity, but their eyes are so blinded by newspaper stories of unemployed and lower city rents and unsold real estate that' they see it no.. One farmer spoke in this wise, "Last week I sold one of my* farms and got $9,000 for it. Today-! brought in a carload of hogs, which will'make a total of some $4,000 worth 1 have sold since Christmas. I was foolish enough to let my .wheat go at $1.25. I had 10,000 bushels���������nearly all No. 1." Then, reminded of the hard times and the war by contact with a city man, he spoiled it all by remarking, "But 1 tell you, boy, this war has hit me hard. I have got considerable unsold property in Edn_.01.ton, and a couple of unsold lots in Saskatoon." It is true that some farmers had their crops burned out. Some need government said to buy this year's seed. But it is also true that the west is filled with prosperous farmers. Thero arc* literally thousand., of agriculturists" wlw have in five to eight years made themselves financially independent. It is fashionable to talk about hard times, so they do it and the outside world hears the grumbling and knows* nothing, of the brighter -._ .- _. Blue. . -. In a five week's' trip I met continually-young men who had-left the city life five or six years previously, who had been journalists, plumbers, street car conductors, bookkeepers, mechanics���������and if I got their, confidence I found that they were wealthy, independent men, men who -wow* making anually from hogs- and wheat arid mixed farming as much money as is paid our lieutenant-governors, our provincial premiers^ our supreme court judgss. I dare to predict that the west has only commenced���������for each and every one of these successful agriculturists is advising his ffriends to quit the city and its troubles and get out into the open. (The above stories, which are all true, were gathered in the following districts visited by mfrr-North Battle- ford, Provost, Chauvin, Edgerton, Fort Saskatchewan, Vermilion, Vegre- ville, Wainwright, Camrose, Hardisty, Lougheed, Daysland, Viking and numerous small towns on h the ^ C.N.R., Gtfr.P., and the- Edmonton-Winnipeg bjc4nch of the C.P.It.) The, Ancient Capital of Poland is a City With a History Around the ancient capital of Poland, Cracow, whi.li the Russians nope fo capture,-.dusters most ot the glorious memories of that last but nof;~forgotten kingdom.

These thirteen words will ring down through the ages" in British history. They were written by Sir John -Tench, ;n his official report of the battle of Ypres on October 31. It has taken the British people many months to learn what a gigantic crisis in the history of the empire lies behind this phrase. They were sixty short, ter- Prench had at noon on this day. A little later-tne automobile of G*n������ era! French whirled into ihs little town of Hooge. .A. short distance up the Meny road was -the very heart and core of the battle. To see General French come into the heart of the' battle, amid the shells, to know that he had not given up hope, was an inspiration to the officers. New life came into the Srit- rible inia*./.es tnat climaxed twenty ��������� ish# General French was spending days of terrific fighting. Each day ��������� tl_at 'famous little hour "at Hooge had seen a battle that was historic in ; between 2 and 3 oeloc'k." General French and Sir. Douglas Haig and their officers hustled from point to point. At their coining 4 -.-i.-.-.SN..,^ nui* c������i������ and. were swingi-.g down toward the English channel asd Calais, Sir John French and his men had beei entrusted with the duty of stopping the gap in ,the allied lines between _ .rmen- tieres and Ypres. For twenty days French had been strengthening his line until he had 0*>s������ Tha intellectual ami achievements of the Poles ahd the Bohemians, attained six centuries and more ago, show that the Slav-is capable of the highest things.. He is weakest perhaps in the organization of government, for Poland, long the bulwark of civilization against the Tartar and the Turk, fell at last because of the endless dissensions ambng its brave and brilliant nobility. Cracow itself was founded about 700 A._>. Mors __._._ onc_ it vjbr destroyed by the Tartars, rebuilt and re- colonized by Polish, German and Bohemian settlers. From 1305 to 1610 it was the capital of Poland; later it was part of the grand duchy of Warsaw, and from 1815 to 1846 it was, with its immediate neighborhood, 'a free and neutral state, a distinction it lost when internal disorders. gave Austria an excuse to step in and take .possession ot the town. One of the most interesting things in Cracow is Kosciusko Hill, a mound of eartn on the top or the Borisiava i hill. Alt is made of handfuls ot earth" brought by Poles from every corner of the kingdom, and thrown together to form a memorial to the Polish patriot, composed of the soil of the country he loved so well. Across the river Vistula on Krakus Hill there is a similar mound, which is said to be almost twelve hundred -^ws old; it was, so tradition says, raised in the same way "to tiie memory of Krakus, the Slavic prince who founded the city. ��������� If th__ war results in an autonomous or semi-autonomous kingdom/of Poland, Warsaw instead of Cracow may be its capital, since it is mora centrally situated and much larger. But to the natriotic Pole, Ciracow is always the spiritual centre of his fatherland���������the "heart of Poland." 120,000 men,, but during the same space of time the Germans had be_n piling up their forces until, on the morning of October 31, there were nearly four German army corps facing the centre of the British general's line. Thio centre was held by Sir Douglas Haig. Four Germans to one Britisher were -he odds. General French realize! that after twenty days of sparring, the Germans had decided where to strike. The battle began in the mornin;.*r, with contests along the whole lin-j. The field of Waterloo was as a child's garden in size, .-compared with * --General French's* battleground. Back at Ypres, General French studied the battle by means of maps. Telephones and couriers brought him news almost every moment. As the day advanced towards noon the fight-_ ing on the wings grew less; in'the centre it- grew fiercer and fiercer, the burden ofthe day was falling on the first army corps. Almost every minute some ^British regiment was either suffering some catastrophe or .achieving- some.feat that would go down iu r.s history forever. , Bill-Six -���������histories and ������ll -military history will say that no general In the annals of- great battles ever had greater cause of giving up hope than Gen. majors, colonels, captains, ail wer������ fired with the. greatness of the moment. They became privates; they seized rifles and fought with/their men. There was no longer need for officers; the battle had become a fight to the death. Ie was shortly before 2.30 that General French got his llrst chance tcs hit the Germans on their flank. The side "attack flustered them. With cold steel alone the Worcesters retook Cheiuveit and closed the Meny road. From that moment the tide of battle turned." By 3 o'clock, when the historic visit of Sir ������phn French - at Hooge had ended, the British soldiers knew they had held the G-orxnans back .and that the issue had been decided. The British lost about 50,000 men ostitis momentous October 31 and in the - 20 days ughting that preceded it.
