Total payments here for tht year to date are in the neighborhood of $1500, but there is still almost $500 still due, which amount it is hoped will come in this month, the financial year of the Creston branch closing on Nov. 80th. The first snow of tbe season was visible on the level on Saturday morning, disappearing the following day. On Monday reinforcements arrived to the extent of almost two inches of it, but it is also disappearing. None of the local weather prophets will concede that winter is due yet for at least a month, which is well, in view of the scarcity and higher price of wood. Mrs. R. M.

Tuesday night's meeting in Mercantile Hall to'discuss Unionist government affairs and, if favorable, elect delegates to the Unionist convention at Nelson to-day, was fairly well at tended, close to half a hundred voters, which included a dozen ladies, turning out. Dr. Henderson was selected chairman of the meeting, and C. F. Hayes, secretary. After very briefly ontt lining the purpose for which the meeting was convened and personally endorsing the Unionist government, the chairman called on Rev. J. S. Mahood, Rev. G. S. Wtiod, and Rev. M. W. Lees, the local clergy, to address the gathering. All the speakers heartily endorsed the idta of Unionist gov* rnment, which is for the duration of the war only. They were equaiiy enthusiastic in having Creston Valley get behind tbe new administration whole heart- edly, believing that it was the surest route to Canada's best effort in getting \"the needed reinforcements for overseas, and at the same time giving the Dominion sound business government in every direction. , Another speaker who got a splendid reception was Sergt. Melnnis of Nelson, who came] down at the request of the Unionist organization in that city more especially to detail the steps that hay**'been taken culminating in the billing of to-day's convention at Nelson by the Conservative, Liberal, Returned Soldiers and Great War Veterans' Associatit n city bf Nelson. In addition to this he also gave a few minutes talk on conditions' at '_the^ front/and /the the necesi^ty.An-^^iaiit^^es of enforcing compulsory service on'the selective draft plan.- The sergeant is well qualified to speak on overseas conditions as he wentacross in the spring of 1915; returning the following year wounded, and after recovering re-enlisting with the 168th Battalion and haying another stay at the front until the summer of this year when he whs again sent back to Canada, and has since been discharged as unfit for further fighting. - At the conclusion of the speech- making, it was. unanimously decided to participate in the nominating convention, and the following delegates were selected: Kitchener���������G. \"A. Hunt. ' Sirdar���������Mrs. C. M. Loasby. , Boswell���������Jas. Coupland. ' Creston���������Mrs. W. C. Forrester,'C. F. Hayes, R. J. Long.

Avory, on the -'-contrary, was .a man of limited means; more or less of an advent titer. Coiisequently he spent little- on. the merely domstic side of life. His rooms ^were plainly furnished; he used them as places for sitting in and sleeping in; he 'did not even breakfast in them, preferring to take all his meals put. Consequently he required little in the way of'service.-| All the service thai hc needed was supplied to him by two people who lived in the lower regions of the house���������a caretaker and his wife, 'whose name was Bryson. Bryson acted as valet to such gentlemen as Avory, brushing their clothes, doing* odd jobs, seeing that their small mendings and repairs were done.: Mrs. Bryson performed the useful office, of bedmaker and kept the room as free from dust as it is possible to do iu London. She could prepare a any oi her patrons never did; in Mrs. Brysou's opinion he wns a treasure to have, in a place, being one of those rare gentlemen who never gives trouble. it was Mrs. Brysou's custom to climb the stairs to Avory's rooms about eleven o'clock. ��������� By that time he had always gone out, and she eould make liis bed and do the necessary offices in comfortable leisure. She. went up in her usual fashion and at her usual time on the morning following Avory's meeting with Barthelemy and von Roon, and she let herself into Avory's chambers with her private key as shc had let herself in a thousand times before.

The protection now extends from the present .time until 1918, and if considered necessary the closed season will be extended for a further period at the next ntceting^of the legislature. A variety of reasons have- been I destruction given for the great scarcity of the prairie chicken, among them being thc unfavorable weather conditions during hatching ' time in 1915 and the killing of female chicken by crows, hawks, wolves, gopher poison, excessive hunting, pump guns and even the rural telephone wire's have been blamed for their partial destruction. Many remedies havc been suggested the prohibition of the shooting of the birds for a number of years, increased penalties for violation of the game laws, regulation of the use of gopher poisons, prohibition of the use. of small rifles, prohibition of hunting Avith dogs, reduction of the bag limit, and the extermination of crows aud other enemies of the prairie chicken. ' The economic value of the prairie chicken is too often overlooked.^ It is a scientic fact that all birds of the grouse family destroy myriads of most destructive insects which if left unchecked would play havoc with all kinds of crops. Birds of that species have been appropriately named the \"most marvellous engine of destruction ever put together of flesh and blood.\" *. .-...;���������.��������� . ) V The grouse and all birds belonging to that family live on a d-tet of weed seeds -during the fall andfvinter when they cannot get their regular supply of insects. Every factor that tends to keep down the insect and weed pest is certainly deserving of more than passing interest, and on the sole score of their great usefulness to tne farmer the grouse arc worthy of every protection. ���������.-������������������-. ��������� , A very exhaustive study of the causes of the scarcity of the prairie ���������chicken has been made by the provincial game branch, and every possible measure has been taken to pro- jtect them and save them from utter Ypres In the salient of Ypres. there are not less than one hundred thousand graves of Allied soldiers, sometimes marked by plain wooden crosses, sometimes obliterated by the debris of ruined trenches, sometimes hidden in corners of fields. The ground is forever England; it is also forever France. When the war is over this triangle of meadow land, with a ruined city for ils base, will be an endave of Belgian soil consecrated as -ihe holy land of two peoples. It will be for tis the most hallowed spot on earth, for it holds our bravest dust, and it is a proof and record of a new spirit.

Many \"new. occupations arc now opened to hcr, which, before the war, she was deemed unfitted to fill. And truth to\"tell shc has risen to the opportunity and now shares many business responsibilities in former times confined to men. But, as women are subject to more frequent fluctuations of health than men,��������� many will be handicapped early, if they regard their health requirements too lightly.. The nervous strain, long hours and prolonged mental or physical fatigue thin the blood and weaken the nerves. Such conditions as \"women are now called upon to undergo can only be endured by a full-blooded -constitution. This is as true for men as for women, only weaker women suffer soonest. The woman worker, in any line, requires her blood replenished frequently. She needs new, rich blood to keep her health under the trying conditions of business life, and to fortify hcr system against the effects of overwork. V This applies also to the woman in the home, ./who, perhaps, has more worries and anxieties than usual. So let all'-girls, and wonten take heed and renew their blood promptly at thc first approach of pallor, lack of appetite, headache or backache. This can be best and most effectively accomplished by taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills which make .new, rich blood and thus help womankind so perfectly. No woman need fear failure of health if they takc these pills occasionally to keep them well, or give them a fair trial if they find themselves run down..

ORESTON, B.C., FRIDAY, NOV. 2 Yqub* The xt. .. 3 bllll'U Canadian Wu,:* T will be offered .the public within a couple of weeks. In the past Oreston Valley citizens���������-generally for good and sufficient reasons be it said���������have taken only passing interest in tbe purchase of these war securities, notwithstanding the good cause and a very attractive rate of interest. Creston's failing in this regard has been rather common in most other parts of the Dominion as well with the result that although other loans have been over-subscribed the money has . come very largely from banks, insurance companies, and the big corporations generally. Worked out in figures it has been found that hitherto only one Canadian citizen in every 400 has been a buyer of war bonds. Such a state of aflairs could not go on indefinitely. Right now the banks are requiring pretty much all their available funds to keep the ordinary channels of trade and commerce open, aud., the excess profits of the other previous big buyers of war securities have not piled up fast enough to ensure that they can invest as liberally in this month's war loan as they have hitherto- All of which means that if the forthcoming call for $150,000,000 is to be honored in full individual citizens without exception will have to take up every dollar's worth possible of the new loan. To facilitate matters the bonds will be !n denominations as low as $50, and it is expected the interest rate will be 5| per cent. At* a glance one hundred and bond oh the sole security of said bond. . y-v-yVV- .. -.;-.'\"-..'. Ori 'the whole Creston Valley has had the inost prosperous year in her recent history.

The Hmoismt Finn fifty million dollars looks like a pile.of money, but it will interest- all to know that more than that sum was being carried around in ��������� the pockets of Canadian citizens at the end of July. According to the bank statement $164,000,000 of hank notes were in circulation on August 1st���������more than $20 per j head of population. Just how much was cached away in savings banks accounts at the same date is .not made public, but it is safe to say it was double that sum The purchase of a war bond, too, is pretty much a matter of \"eating your cake and having it.\" The government uses the money for war purposes and it will all be spent in various ways in Canada. And in case the owner of a war bond suddenly' needs the money any bank iu Canada will lend him money up to the face value of the The cause of union governmet continues, to Sourish. Safe, sane and, withal, satisfactory progress is reported all along the line. At present the backers of the new regime are bending their energies to see to it that so far 'as possible only one straight supporter of the union government is nominated in each constituency. The plan adopted is an admirable one. Where the present representative of any constituency has showr himself to have been a couscriptionist he is to be considered the union government candidate in case of seeking reelection. When the previous representative is not desirous of nomination arrangements will be made to nominate standard bearers so far as possible so as to retaiii the ratio .of Liberal and Conservative Unionists in the new house about on a par with the old parties' standing iu the parliament just dissolved. In this effort to arrive at seme, agreeable and practicable basis as safeguarding the interests of the two old parties, and get on with the election, the Unionist government is being ably supported by almost the entire press outside Quebec���������a pretty accurate index as to how the wind is blowing. While, however, the situation to date is assuredly all the most ardent Unionist could wish the danger of defeat at the polls is far from being past. , The lose-the-war party is losing no time in an effort to create distrust amongst sup porters of,~* TOM**- ,������ This is almost self-evident for the following reasons: it is admitted that, between the ages of 20 and 34, the average man is at the height of his - physical strength and is most adaptable to the change of conditions from civilian life; the military sendee of unmarried men and widowers without children would occasion less distress than that of most others, since they are largely without dependents. Also, it would entail less financial burden for Canada, through separation allowances, etc Authorities estimate that, after all proper exemptions have, been allowed, Canada should be able to produce from the first class 100,000 men fit for service, so the drain upon the man power of the country will not be severe. V^ :' Members of Class One will be well advised to present themselves for examination immediately to the Medical Board in their district Upon examination as to their physical fitness, they will be placed in one of the following categories: A-- Category A���������if fit for service in overseas fighting units.

Category E���������if unfit for military service of any nature. . *\"*������������������ If not placed in Category A, the applicant will know that he is not liable for immediate service, but wilt go to the Post Office and send in a claim for'exemption with his Medical Certificate attached, when he will receive in due course a certificate of exemption until those in his medical category are summoned for service.. Where a man, who is placed in category A, feels that exemption should be allowed, an application form can be secured Irom the postmaster.

Spies in South America G'ermah Agents Well Organized in Buenos Ayres for Enemy Work ��������� Coming closely after Secretary of State Lansing's revelations of German-Swedish intrigue, the New York .World publishes the following article from its correspondent in Buenos Ayres, under date of August 18:v The unusual activities'of ' German spies.in this city during the recent visit of the United States squadron have led to the discovery of an espi-j onage bureau which appears to be tho headquarters for -Gentian activities in South America. It was through an accident tliat the espionage activities' were discovered. ThcBfi were revealed through the opening of a letter which was wrongly delivered to a man of pro- ally sentiments. On reading the letter he turned il over to the foreign ' office. The president of lhe. Argentina Republic immediately started searching enquiry with the result that it has byen learned that tbe bureau Is beiug rrnanccd from Germany and that it is housed in the elaborate residence of a German nobleman who is now living in a hotel. A secret .wireless outfit has been discovered in a house, ou United Slates street and was demolished. Tt had been asserted for some time, by allied representatives here fh.it German espionage agents in Buenos Ayres have been in direct communication with Berlin by means of the Buenos Avros cable to Spain, whence the information is sent by wireless from Madrid. road> in order that'hc might have the pleasure of jumping over it on his horse. This he did several times, backwards and forwards, whilst the mourners looked on indignant and helpless. Archduke Otto and his friends then continued their ride. Herr Pernerstofer, who at that time -was the, only Socialist member of thc Austrian chamber of deputies, brought the scandal to light in parliament, and denounced Archduke Otto from the rostrum ofVthc chamber as a blackguard. ..His courageous attack on one of the'most prominent members of the imperial family caused a tremendous sensation. The next day - Pernerstofer was found in iiis flat lying on the floor nearly dead. His servant had been decoyed out of the house, and during her absence one or more unknown persons had got into the flat and beaten Pernerstofer to the point of dea^fi. When theV servant came back she found the Socialist deputy lying in a pool of blood, and for many weeks afterwards he lay helpless as a result_ of the brutal assault. Police investigations were made, but they were speedily terminated, because it, was found that Archduke Otto had been the perpetrator of the outrage. It was also discovered that the late Archduke Francis Ferdinand, although he had taken no part^in the coffin incident, nevertheless resented- the public . attack on an imperial archduke so keenly that he aided and abetted his brother in the assault on Pernerstofer. It is one of the curious ironies of fate that Archduke Otto's son should now bc appealing to Pernerstofer to stand by the imperial family and help him in safeguarding his throiie.

H77 Highest Order is the Garter VBut the Order of Merit Is Pre-eminent Gift of King What is the greatest honor in thc gift of the king? \"Oh the Garter, of course!\" says everybody; and it may once bc admitted that the. Knighthood of the Garter is thc most exclusive order of chivalry in the world, and it must havc been one of thc bitterest pills the kaiser had to swallow when his name and the names of his lelatives and allies were struck ofi that roll whose shrine, is St. George's Chapel, Windsor. But the Garter, though the most exclusive' order/ .inasmuch as it is coiifified to royalty and nobility, is not thc greatest honor the king can confer. That position of pre-eminence must be accorded to the 'right to place the letters \"O.M.\" after one's name. The Order of Merit has not been long established, but by universal consent it has t.alccn a premier nlaoe among those honors whicli the best and greatest may covet without loss of simplicity and dignity. Hitherto it has Heen confo^re'd with extreme care, and the* number of people who have held tliis title and hall-mark of universal esteem and admiration have seldom exceeded a dozen. But to be in the company of Sir Edward Elgar and Thomas Hardy and Lord M'orley is to be of the company of noblemen indeed, who have (rained iheir patent to nobility by splendid achievement and by thc production of work.which will oullast all the dynasties of kings.

West Will Get Apples From East Price Has Been Fixed to Allow Wholesale and Retail Profit According to Hon. W. J. Hanna, food controller, Western Canada will obtain its apple supply from Nova Scotia. Hc stated that the British Columbia crop was 75 per cent, normal. Ontario and Q-uchcc have only 15 per cent, of a normal crop, but Nova Scotia has 100. per cent, nor-' mal. The latter province usually exports a large quantity of apples, but this year the crop from the cast will be diverted to the west aud the food controller's department has . already made arrangements for the distribution of the crop in carlad lots to the west. The price has also been fixed, and the wholesalers and retailers will help in its distribution onffthe basis of the fixed price. Another point made by Mr. Hanna was that it would be a great mistake for Canada to change the standard of its flour. It was true, hc said, that for the present there would be a slight gain if the standard of flour was lowered, but this would be much more than offset by the loss that would accrue in export trade after the war. hang our flags.\" An Englishwoman who lived in Hamburg for many years, and has just made her way to England, gave this vivid description of the condition of things there: No place in Germany has been hit so hard by the war as Hamburg. No com munity sighs so anxiously for peace. There is no more talk of \"victory.\" To the thousands of people who knew Hamburg in its gay, prosperous, well-fed days the Alster city would present a sad and sorry sight today. There is no sign, whatever of its former prosperity. The harbor is dead. The vast business of export ahd shipping on which thousands of Hamburg families depended is-at a standstill.. They have, had to-make heavy drafts on savings and invested capital. Tile two great hotels, once the city's pride, the Esplanade and the Atlantic, are practically shut aud bankrupt; they depend on the patronage of wealthy vitmors, especially, A-1**^- cans and English. Cafe life ceased many months ago. You can get no coffee that is drinkable���������-the so-called \"substitutes\" are vile ahd there has been no tea for a long time. The Hamburg goose was a once- famed national dish. A goose, when it can be had, now costs $25 or $30; in the old da\\rs a fine one cost $2.50 to $3.50. There is no lack'of money, but money is worthless because only in rare instances can one buy anything with it. There were never so few fat men and women in Germany. \"Pot-bellies,\" have disappeared . Everybody iu Hamburg is and looks underfed. Hamburg depended, to an enormous extent, on English trade and good will for its prosperity; and though the Hamburgers at first prayed that Gott would strafe England, .they are beginning now to think of the future. They hope England will forgive and forgot, and help the port to regain some of its greatness. You will hear a good many Hamburgers say they know now that it was not England who made the war. They arc beginning to blame \"Berlin.\" .The kaiser is not nearly so popular on the Elbe as he once was. I do not think tliere would be 'much cheering for him today if he rode round the Alster with his friend, Herr Ballin. ��������� Hamburg soldiers are very bitter when they come home. You hear a good deal of talk, attributed to them, about \"freeing\" Hamburg from the rest of Germany when the war is over; They want to be \"like England.\" means that the war in the air con tinues to be fought . overV ourVv6\\vn\"W territory or tliat of our Allies^ To carry the war into German territory in such a way as to Cs.ectire-definite . military results, 'such a supremacy is needed as will \"prevent. Gcrriiah airmen froiii ever'���������rising*;.''\" Such a supremacy, if we, could hold it for three months,.would gain us victory in the war. We could bomb lvrupps so persistently that no work would be possible there. Wft could destroy: the Rhine bridges, so that no supplies, even if they cottld be manufactured, could reach the German army. The effect would be to double and trebli? the relative strength of tiie allied armies to the German. Had the truth of this view been seen twelve months ago,>wej might at this time have been ��������� in a winning position and -that it a much smaller expenditure of life and at a much smaller cost to the industry and finance of the country. The truth was not seen a year ago because \"admirable as is the work donevby the Royal Flying Corps and by th?- Royal Naval Air service, both vt^r office and admiralty were too busy in defending their own prerogative over the air to take a broad and long view of all thc changes that this new arm would make in. the art of war.
