Figured out on the carload basis the 1915 export business of the Creston Valley in fruit and vegetables alone totals 103 cars, as compared with 70 for 1914, an increase of almost 50 per cent. The estimated value of the crop is placed at $85,000.00, as contrasted with $57,000.00 for the year previous. But don't forget the foregoing doe*-*- not take into account 98 cars of poles, !K> ears of lumber and 3 of posts, to say nothing of a trade of almost $20,000 in live stock, dressed meats and poultry, and another $1,000 that our poultry- men derived from egg shipments. Not only has the production of commodities for which this section is adapted naturally and commercially maintained its natural increase in almost every line but butter still the prices paid to the growers in 1015 shows an all round increase of almost 20 per cent.,even if we include some of the vegetables for which the demand was lighter than usual,\" and price correspondingly lower. $20,000 for Livestock But the most satisfactory feature of all the shipping is the lino showing made in live stock. For the first time in Creston's history a really worthwhile statement is presentable and the values aro all conservatively stated, according to those in authority, and our figures are from May 1st only. In eight months the value of the horses purchased and shipped from here is placed at $4,050. Live eattleat $7,806, dressed beef at $2,100, dressed pork $3,250, mid dressed calves at $036, ov a grand total In live stock alone of over $10,000, and this docs not include a little better than tyflOO of fowl \"that went outlive and dreaned. In these figures, too, no account is taken of tho eggs which wero sent out of Creston during tho twelve monthH which ran well over 4000 dozens which at tho modest price of 25 cents mean another $1,000.

In thi3 connection the Union officials estimate that almost 150 tons of spuds are in storage amongst Valley growers, the price offering in 1915 not being sufficiently attractive to induce sale of them. On the������������ figures the crop of tubers really shows a gain of 50 tons, a really riot-surprising increase in view of the season and the price that obtained; in 1914. More Tomatoes than Ever Although no pie tomatoes are enumerated for 1915 the year's tomato crop still leads 1914 by over 100 crates. Something worth noting in view of ithe disastrous prices that prevailed in 1914. The only remaining field crops ���������to phow over the year previous are beets and parsnips which are good for but minor gains, however. 'Rhubarb seems to'have been rather overlooked in the year just closed, the statistics showing a slump running close to 40 per cent., with carrots just a __ittie more so in tue wrong turection and beans even worse still���������almost 50 per cent. Cauliflower is the worst of them all, falling down from 2,060 pounds to exactly 525. A shortage of about 2,000 dozens in noticeable in the outgo of corn, with green peppers falling off 690 pounds. The jaut-of-the-Valley trade in honey was cut in half. Although the season opened splendidly the wet, , cool weather of June and part of July cat down production entirely during that period, but though conditions dm-ing the rest of the summer and early fall were quite ideal, the set back was too prolonged and the 1914 yield of 3,000 pounds hardly reached 1,500 in 1915. SomeE;~export. trade in young bees* materialized, Mr. Blinco sending out at least a dozen colonies to different Kootenay points. try ���������eaten School Report which we got returns a year ago, for 1915 exactly 21 of theni show an increase, 9 a decrease, while on tho six others no figures are submitted or else they have been re grouped. The most notable absentees are piekling cucumbers of whieh there were 6,527 pounds in 1914; pie tomatoes which hi 1914 went out to the extent of 3,050 crates, and of parsnips 2,148 pounds.

It is surely time, that the hotel business be separated from the business of making drunkards. The real hotel business requires a superior class of man with more than ordinary business abilities and there are many such but the majority o: those who parade the name hotel are a shame, and disgrace to the hotel business. It is too bad that there is a stigma, attached to the very name hotel keeper which should not be. Let a hotel be a hotel and a. saloon be known for what it is���������the greatest curse on earth. Commercial travellers say that they do not get as good accommodation in holels where, liquor is sold as they do in local option towns. One traveller puts it. this way.

Crops on Alkali Land Farmers in Idaho and other western slates have a common problem in alkali soils. Water, rising through the soil by capillarity, brings with it. salt*'. These are washed down without hor 1 harm in regions of rainfalls, but in the west, where rainfall is light and evaporation Is excessive, ' tho alkali remains on the surface, retarding tha growth of the crops.

The First Greek tank The lirst Greek bank in the world was the Bank of Venice, established in 1157, when the queen city of the Adriatic was the head of the commerce of the western world. At. that time the great current of the trade between Europ-.ii and Asia all passed through the Persian Giilfhnd the Red Sea to Alexandria, Egypt, and was cai-ried in ships across the .Mediterranean Sea and through the Adriatic to Venice, where ir. was distributed lo various parts of iCurope. Venice was a sort, of autocratic, republic, founded and supported by its mer- cliimlH, who were famed throughout tlio world for their wealth and reliability.

Blacfe M.A., D.Paed., Regina). The last published report of the- Saskatchewan Education Department reveals tha startling fact that the actual attendance ol! pupils in the rural schools average only 54 per cent, of the enrolment and that that of towa pupils was less than 57 per cent. of. the enrolment. In Manitoba, the average, daily attendance for the entire province was 621/4 per cent, of the enrolment. This was an advance of 5.2 per cent, upon the returns for th& preceding year. In Manitoba the oversight of truant and neglected children is in the hands of a government department, which receives monthly reports from the ! teachers of the province, regarding j the unexplained or unnecessary ab- I sencs of school children from their j classes. The superintendent of thi* j section is assisted by a large corps j of local truant officers and while the i law- is still far from being satisfactory, ; there has been a remarkable improve- I ment in the regularity of school at- j tendance iu Manitoba within the past j two years. Official notices by the | thousand are issued to delinquent par- j ents with very gratifying results. Tha ! superintendent in charge of this work ��������� reports that 85 per cent, of the cases | that have been dealt with have turned ! out satisfactorily. j A new and important act dealing with truancy was passed by the Al- I berta legislature a couple of years ! ago. All city and town school dis- ! tricts are required to employ truant | officers for the enforcement, of the ! act and every school inspect6r is ex- ] officio, a provincial truant officer. 1 Eve;*y child who has attained the age of seven years, and who has not yet attained the age o_ fourteen years, is required to attend school for the full term during which the district in which he resides is open. unless excused b\\r reasons recognized by the law as valid. The chief provincial truant officer in his last report states that in the rural districts '-.,('80 cases of irregular attendance or non-attendance j were dealt with in 1914. As a result I of this action 84 per cent . of these j pupils attended school subsequently, j 72 per cent, of them regularly. This I includes the returns regarding almost ' a thousand children who had not been enrolled at all until the authorities intervened. Three-quarters of the children who were already enrolled but were in irregular attendance attended regularly as a result of the action of the officials. Tn some cases instead of a fine being imposed, the- parents are placed under bonds to th_ extent. of a S!100 as a guarantee of. obedience to the requirements of the act. The details with regard to two or three school districts will be of general interest. In Kluss S.D. the average attendance during the second term of 1913. was 11. The truant officer intervened with the result that in the corresponding term of 1914, the aver- ag.y attendance was 28. In Schultz i S.D. the average attendance was in- | creased from 1:1 to 25, and In Quarrel S.D. it was trebled. One of the chief problems occupying the attention of those interested in educational reform in Saskatchewan at. present, is that of enacting and enforcing better attendance laws, and the experience of the neighboring provinces in this regard must, therfore, be of exceptional interest. her right the llr.'l Siic win I'm- ii job \"Oil' never done niili o.idci She weni \"MT-gj Mil* 'll 9 neeu s Hotel ���������������!��������� roitoM'o ���������*. ������ (Ml ; f* TORONTO, ONT. ���������O-IMMIPEG MOrtTRESL g_giaa_BBo_s__g--_nB__ _rw via_-_ah__au__-__ra-nt-Eaca_l Make Visit with Sick Short One Should Also Try to Cheer up Patient With Happy Recollections The sick room, abovo all else, is the place for cheerfulness.

Another toing to remernoer is not to stay too long when visiting a sick person. The invalid tires easily and long visits are likely, to have a harmful effect.

It is stated that German money to the extent of $500,000 is being sent io the district for the purpose or sabotage. Barcelona is named as the head- quarter.-** of the plot which in its Tamillcations hears a resemblance to the conspiracies recently unearthed in the United Slates. The (.1 erman purpose is said to be to frustrate the export of copper from tho famous llio Tinto mine to the allied countries.

The Real Liver Pill.���������A torpid liver means a disordered system, mental depression, lassitude and in the end, if care be not taken, a chronic state of debility. The very best medicine to arouse the liver to healthy action is Parmelee's Vegetable Pills. They are compounded of purely vegetable substances of careful selection and no other pills have their fine qualities. They do not gripe or pain and they are agreeable to the most sensitive stomach.

The annual report shows the Bank of Montreal in a position of unprecedented strength. With assets of $302,98.0,554���������an increase for the vear of ������38,800,188���������it takes rank with the most powerful banking institutions in the world. Of this enormous sum, no less than $170,007,588 is in cash and liquid assets. This is over 64 per cent, of the bank's total public liabilities���������a rat'io whose significance will be better understood when ic is compared with 55.4 per cent, last year, and a little less tnan 50 per cent, (considered a high proportion in normal times) in 1913. While holding so large a proportion of the bank's assets in liquid form does not tend to large profits, it is a source of great strength not only to the bank, but to the whole of Canada, in these trying and difficult times. The profits for the year, however, were most gratifying. Amounting to $2,108,(131, they provided for the usual quarterly dividends and two 1% bonuses on the capital of $16,000,000, the war tax on bank note circulation, $127,347, and left over $60,000 to be added to the profit and loss account, bringing the balance of the latter up to S1,2!13,052. This, of course, is in addition to the rest account of $16,- 000,000���������equal to the capital. Owing to the reduced volume of commercial busiuess in the country, the current loans dropped from $105.,- 845,332 in 1914 to $99,078,506. Loans to municipalities, on the other hand, show an increase of over two millions, reaching the figure of $11,203,472. One of the most striking and important features of the report is the remarkable increase in deposits. Those bearing no interest have increased during the year from $42,689,- 031 to $75,745,720, while interest bearing deposits have grown to $160,277,- 0S3���������a total increase of $38,800,138. Though this is partly accounted for by special transactions, it must be regarded as highly satisfactory, and an especial mark of public confidence. in reviewing the year, the president laid special stress ou the record harvest in the west, where a greatly increased area under cultivation has given the highest average yield in the History of the country.

Referring to the remarkable change in Canada's position, from a debtor to a creditor nation, Mr. Meredith said: * \"In the seven nion.ths ending October 31st, 1913, the value of exports of Canadian products was $215,550,000 and in the same period of 1911 was $226,757,000, while this yoar in these seven months we have exported Canadian products of the value of $326,- 430,000, or $100,000,01:0 more than last year, and the great crop surplus has still to go forward. \"Comparing the foreign trade of Canada for tho 7 months period ending with October, imports have deolin. u from $390,54-1,000 in 1.913 to $253,107,- 000 in 1915, while exports of domestic products, as I lave said, have risen from $245,550,000 to $326,430,000, ail adverse balance of $145,000,000 being converted into a favorable balance of $73,323,000, or a betterment-in respect of foreign trado of no lean than $218,- 000,000 within the short space of two years.\" Taking a prudently optimistic view of the future.

It. Cameron, secretary- treasurer of the East Williams Mutual Fire Insurance Co., Ailsa Craig. Ont., under date of Sept. 25, 1915, says: \"With this company, the principal cause of fire losses is lightning. During the last six years, we have paid 54 claims for damage by lightning and only six claims for damage by lire otherwise started. In our case (insuring farm buildings}*\" lightning rods seem to be the practical remedy.\" Mr. W. G. Willoughby, secretary- treasurer of the I.ambton Mutual Fire insurance Co., of Watford, Ont.. says: \"L-ightniiig has been the principle cause of \"our losses, and, if thev amount paid on stock were added to the amount paid for losses on buildings by lightning, it would be more than fifty per cent. AVe have not had a rodded building burned for years, and the damage to them is very small��������� none in 1914 nor in 1915 so far (Sept. 30, 1915). We make a difference in rates in favor of rodded buildings, and over half are rodcled.\" Bert E. Buckley., Ohio State Fire Marshal, in his August Bulletin says: \"During these three months, lightning is credited with 68 fires, with a resulting loss of $91,165. In every case the buildings struck were not equipped wiih lightning rods. Not a single fire was reported where the building was rodded; in fact, it is very seldom indeed, that such a ease is entered on the records.\" In the face of the foregoing evidence, and in view of the small cost, of installing lightning rod equipment, it would seem advisable for farmers to equip their property with this protection, and also to the advantage of insurance companies to give a preference in premium rates to risks so protected.

German Morality Debased by the War The latest German papers contain a chorus of lamentation over the debasing effect of the war on German morality, especially among the young. The Cologne Gazette speaks of the \"truly terrifying picture\" presented, by the increase of crime among young people in the industrial districts. The Magdeburg Zeitung* denounces usury, immorality, licentiousness and degenerate love of luxury that prevails, and invokes the \"Lord God of German history to aid in preventing calamity from overwhelming the country.\" Minard's Liniment Cures Distemoer.

Campbell, director of the Dominion forestry branch, Canada's present supply of commercial timber has been variously estimated to be between live hundred and seven hundred billicn feet, board measure, aud to cover an area of approximately 170,000,000 acres. This estimate of quantity and area refers only to timber of commercial value as saw timber, It. does not include puipwood, firewood, tie und pole material nor small timber of any description, although this has undoubtedly a very large commercial value. The commission of conservation is engaged upon an investigation of the forest resources of Canadn. which, when completed, will furnish the baa- is for a more accurate uHtiinuto of'the amount of timber in tho various flections of the country than has viou.sly boon practicable.

A. Smith, of the First Battalion, now in Halifax, after six months in the trenches with the First Canadian Division. Corporal Smith' reached Canada recently and is now in Halifax with a party of 30 wounded and sick soldiers, nearly all of whom have spent a period in tiie British trenches in France. The wounds are usually shrapnel or bullets. A word of significance was carried in the words of Corporal Smith, who said in answer to a question regarding the wounds of the men. \"One of the rarest things in France or Belgium is a British soldier with a bayonet wound. The Germans have such a fear of the British cold steal that they scamper like pigs when a light at close quarters is threatened.\" Ccrporai Smith continued: \"Of all my experiences at the front, the last charge\" of the first battalion at Givenchy will remain longest in my mem GOOD SERVICE OF THE BRITISH FISHING CREWS Have Played a Unique and Valuable Role in Connection with the Dardanelles Expedition, Where They Have Been Hunting and Ramming Submarines Population of Ireland Now Shows Increase '6' -,. -\\ +*r. - i -i *-. i- W\\-������������ 4 It ������C1C Jl uuu -I*-*** t*i of children under a year one Irish child in every A Novelty for the Old Land���������Marked Decrease in Pauperism Lately The latest census figure-2 for Ireland show an increasing population. However common this may be in America, oi* in the other countries of Europe, this feature is for Ireland an agreeable novelty.

Leinster and Ulster have the predominance in this respect. In them one child in every seven or eight dies an infant, in Con- naught only one child in every fifteen. Dublin and Belfast no doubt account for this, for poverty stricken Con- miught has more fresh air than can be found in the cities, especially in Dublin, which ha_5. a system of tenement houses,, whero. scores of families live in one house, and often more than one family in a single room. ��������� That Ireland is a' less distressful country than it used to be, and is now on the', mend, is further evident from the statistics of pauperism. Here there has been a very marked de- . crease. There were nearly eight thousand fewer people in the workhouses in the quarter under review than the average of the same period for the last ten years, and there were 12,-2-5 fewer people in receipt of outdoor relief from the rates. The least satisfactory1 feature of the returns is the maintenance of a high death rate from tuberculosis. Enormous efforts, inspired by Lady Aberdeen, have been devoted in every part of Ireland to stamping out this scourge, it has beer, by no means unfruitful. But Lie scourge is still there, aud yearl;* takes a great toll of Irish lives. calculations of the same nature. The largest quantity of wheat and wheat flour previously exported in .vny one fiscal year was 14__,*574,000 bushels in 1913-14.

Canada's Offer Accented Dominion Gives $50,000 to Anglo-Russian Hospital The offer of the Canadian government of .50,000 towards the establishment of an Anglo-Russian hospital has been accepted, a cable to that effect having been received from Major- General Lord Cheylesmore, chairman of the executive committee in London. The money has been forwarded. The offer of the Canadian government reads: \"My ministers understand that provision is being made in Great Britain, under the patronage of her majesty, Queen Alexandra, for an Anglo-Russian hospital. They learn that equipment and maintenance of one bed for one year is estimated at one hundred pounds. My government, desiring to assist therein\" and thus to express Canadian appreciation of the valor and heroism of ths.

After several hours we got a general order to retire. We all started, but only a few got back. Later, the 5th Battalion was able to take the first line trenches we had gained. \"Wo l\"vOrl lsDOTl ol\"������l/\\ + -_ ������������������>������������������_ vy������-. _���������_���������*������ OA*m _\"���������_ _-������ P \"_���������������*_.

It was just before the order to retire had been given. Campbell had charge of the machine gun corps. At that time his corps had been '_������������������ - duced to one man unwounded, Pte. Yinee, and a gun without a tripod, and two belts of cartridges. 'We ars going to retire soon,' said one youngster near him. 'Retire, be damned,' answered the lieutenant, 'I've got two belts of cartridges left. If I only had a tripod fo* this gun,' pointing sorrowfully at tho dismounted quick firer. Crouching at a point of vantage, Pte. Vince called out: 'Put the gun on my shoulder, sir. I can hold it, I guess.* It seemed almost impossible, but many impossible things had been done that day and the expedient .was given a try. Holding the gun across his powerful shoulders, the heroic soldier served as a human tripod while the two belts were hurled into tlio sullen ranks of the enemy. Lieut. Campbell has since died a hero's death, but Private Vinco remained when I left and had boon through idl the desperate fighting without receiving a scratch.\" W^ting in the London Daily Chronicle, E. Ashmead Bartlett pays a high tribute to the work of the Bra ish mine sweepers at the Dardanelles. \"What would King George 'ave done without these 'ere trawlers?\" This was the historic remark of a West Country skipper as he gazed round the Aegean Sea from the bridge of his trawler when the submarine scare was at its height, and before the monitors had appeared to tako the place of the cruisers and battleships. The We,st Countryman had ample justification for his remark and every reason to be proud of his craft, and the hundreds of' others, almost exactly similar to her, which have played such a unique and invaluable role in the Dardanelles expedition. Probably for the first time in their lives the majority of our officers and men, both I cannot tell you how many men I soldiers and sailors, out at the Dar danelles, have been brought in touch with onr great fishing fleet from the North Sea and from the West coast. I have never yet seen a trawler receive an order from any admiral or captain which was not received with a volley of mild oaths from the skipper, concussion j followed by an eloquent lecture on how much better it would be to ac- classes. They go far afield, searching the coasts of the islands for possible . hostile submarine bases, .and examining every sailing ship which comes within the *_:.ar zone. They have orders to ram any submarine, or anything, they imagine to be a submarine, without hesitation, and many have been the reports, and scares that have failed to materialize. The trawlers engaged in transport duty have perhaps the harder time of the two. They leave Mudrcs laden with biscuits, fresh meat, tinned meat, live goats for the Gurkhas, ammunition and a hundred and one other articles which an army - requires i'pr its daily mse. Piled en top of this mass of -**-oQds and livestock officers and soldiers take passage to and back from the front. It was no uncommon sight to see a general sitting on a biscuit box with a goat gnawing at one boot and the other boot hidden beneath a quarter of frozen beef. More often than not there is not a vacant square incL of space left on the deck. It is a remarkable tribute to the skill in seamanship of the trawlers' crews, that when one considers the thousands upon thousands of voyages i they have made and the immense dis- complish the same thing in a different. ��������� tances they have covered, 1 think manner. Nevertheless, I am not hinting that there is any real indiscipline, for the orders are always carried out, but generally in a manner which was never intended. The skipper of a trawler never will admit that any officer in the navy is a real seaman. They will stoutly maintain that seamanship is a lost art, which can now only be found among themselves, and they love to hold forth on the handling of great battleships as they mako their way into narrow harbors or take up difficult i anchorage, pointing out. how much j better they could have done the job j themselves. They love to grumble at everything, and without a grievance they would be miserable. But few have any conception of the amount of. work accomplished-by these craft. In fact, it would have been almost impossible to have kept the army supplied without them. Between tiie bombardment of ths outer fort on Feb. 19 and the grand combined attack made by the whole fleet on March IS, many pf the trawlers were engaged in Lhe most^ difficult and j they say dangerous work of endeavoring to ; and ot ' side v and sweep the straits of mines. The strength of the current, and the consequent sagging of the nets, made this an extremely difficult task, and the results were disappointing. On March II, 12 and 13 efforts were made during the night to sweep the. mine field below the Narrows, many of the trawlers were hit suffered casualties. Some kept their regular crews during this dangerous work, and others were manned by volunteer crows from the fleet, and w&re placed in charge of lieutenants and sub-lieutenants. Unfortunately, the enemy'.** lire was too severe, and it was found impossible to clear the minefield, and aftc .*��������� the failure of the attack of March IS sweeping operations were abandoned. Since that timo the work of iho trawlers has been divided into two only one trawler has been lost durins. the wdiole campaign, and she was sunk off Anzac by shellfire in the very early days. Brought from their peaceful surroundings into the very centre of tt.e is*reat war game, the North Sea and | west coa&t fishing fleets have swept j the Dardanelles for mines; they have been exposed to.shell fire for months ; on end; they have chased submarines j and patrolled the islands of the Asia- ' tic coast. With the destroyer flotil- : las. the seas were left to their care j when the battleships and cruisers ' forced to shelter by the enemy's submarines, they have carried thousands of ions of stores from the bases to the beaches, and transported thousands of sick and wounded to and from the islands to the hostile shores. Their skippers and crews belong to a hardy race of seamen, rendered al- i most extinct by modern ships and modern methods of travel. They I grumble, but they carry out their or- jders; and, above all, iu spite of all they' are proud cf the navy the chance ot working side hy ith naval officers und naval men. A great spirit of friendship has spnmg up between the two, and each recognizes the value of the work of the other. This summer their task has been child's play, steaming about a sea that is generally smooth as glass, hut now and the winter is coming on ihe work, must still go on, under condition:.; which will be vory different, and then it will be, when tho storms are blowing from tho southwest or from the northeast, that the hard lessons they\" have learned in winters spent in the North Sea and off the wild coast of scot- land, will come in most useful. Seamanship will count a. lot this winter. and tho old West Counlry skipper's proud remark: \"What would King C.?orge 'ave done without theso 'ere trawlers'.''' will bo amply* justified.

Up to a year or two ago pennies were very little used in either of the three prairlo provinces, and small silver coins wore used moro freely by the western children than, wero tho bigger copper pennies by the eastern children. lt will not bo disputed that, generally speaking, tho children of the west haye had moro money to spend than the children of the oast, due to thu great prosperity which has marked tiio progress of the west.
