A. drive for funds for 1918 operations which is fixed for Tuesday, "Wednesday and Thursday next. The list of canvassers announced last week to look after the work in these parts will be on the rounds some one of these three days. A supply of literature showing by pictures as well as by story the numerous "Y" activites -has gone out this week to aii the citizens, and numerous striking posters are on display calling attention to the cause, this dates of the canvass, and the $2,500,000 required for the year's work. Locaily pledge cards will be used.and those contributing can pay cash on the spot, or spread the payments oyer the balance of the year any way that suits them so long as the full amd final payment is made before December 31st. For the country between Crowsnest and Kootnay "Landing $10,000 is expected, and of this amount Oreston is .looked to for at least $1,000���this on the strength of our population as weii as ....%�� H.a^a3M,uasaant xix xucu fcUCS CUEjUUillil* ity has sent overseas, and who are enjoying the benefits the *'Y" has to confer. Eterywhere the overseas soldier goes he meets ��p with the "Y" in some don, Paris and some other big cities the Y.M.C.A. is on the watch for him to see that he has a clean, healthfu spite after the arduous life in trenches or firing line. In the training camps and billets the-organizion is on the job with entertainment of all sorts, sports and athletics, reading and writing rooms. Every letter that comes from the boys is on *Y" 'stationery., and for this writing T^^KTxmii%ny^i6pj^'iiione' a matter of considerably over $100,000 a year is required, On the way to the front are the MY" huts where eyery possible creature comfort is ayaiyable- to the men in khaki, and as one English soldier puts it, "Sye, hif it weren't for the bloody blokes in these *ere 'uts there'd be a 'elluva time in this'ere harmy." Practically everything the Y.M.C.A. has to offer is giyen free, and when you stop to consider that Canada will have almost 500,000 men overoeaH this yerr the $2,500,000 asked for is about $5 per man���or hardly two cents a day���surely a very modest amount to ask for the carrying on of such a splendid work at a time like this. In the line of patriotic effort the ���*S" gets closer home to the boys oftener than any other war organization, and when we take into consideration the number of Valley men who are already over there and those likley to tie called up very shortly a call for ���Si 1500 is not an unreasonable or impossible demand for this community, particulary when payment can be made on the instalment plan* Dominion Railway Commission for- final adjustment.

A move to facilitate the holding of the annual farmers' institute convention at Victoria���which has been discontinued of late���without the expense of sending delegates to the capital from each of the i40 institutes in the province, was consummated so far as the West Kootenay institutes are concerned at a conference at Nelson on Friday last, at Which W. A. Pease represented the Creston institute. The plan decided upon is to divide the province into nine institute districts, and from each of these one delegate will be chosen to attend the central convention each year at Victoria. Creston has been grouped into District No. 8, which includes the territory between Moyie and Revelstoke. Seven delegates from the fourteen institutes in that area were at the Nelson conclave, which was presided over by G. D. Brown of Robson, and the delegate chosen for this district is It. B. Staples of Creston. . The modus operandi is for each institute in No. 8 group to forward him the resolutions and other matters they wish brought up at the provincial convention. Tho other eight members of the central committee will be similarly favored, and it is felt that the.se nine men getting togetuer, with these various matters sorted up so that a dozen or more institutes are not taking up time pressing home i.hnil.ir resolutions, mid the other details whore formerly much overlapping Was In evidence similarly regulated, the annual convention can be held at about one-tenth the evnense and just, as much good work tie done in less time.

The long hoped-for start on the finish up of the engineering features ot tne reclamation ox ivootenay jf-jats was inaugurated last week, according to word just to hand from Bonners Ferry, Idaho* W.

Interviewed at Bonners, Messrs. Forde and Biker stated that the necessary appropriation had been made for preliminary . surveys and estimates of the Kootenay valley drainage project and the highest officials of the government have announced that if the cost of drainage is not prohibitive they will favor an appropriation large enough to carry the work to completion, providing that the people owning lands to ho reclaimed along the Kootenay riyer in Idaho, will make an appropriation, the amount of which will be governed by the benefits to be derived. This smmner-and fall the Canadian engineers will gather exhaustive data relative to the YS[ootenay valley reclamation project., i*n?l will person - ally-visit all sections" l>6xh in Canada and the United States which are to be reclaimed or which .-ire effected by the annual overflow waters of the Kootenay riyer. While it will be the best of good news to residents of Creston Valley that a start, on the survey has been made, it is doubly reassuring to have the Dominion government officials co-operating in the effort. While drainage is largely a provincial matter the local board of trade has assurance from Ottawa that if the widening of the narrows at Proctor can be shown to be an aid to navigation the federal authorities are prepared to help out reclamation to the extent of putting on a dredge to assist with the channel- widening operations at that point, and at no cost to the piovince. The appearance of ^Engineer Forde and his assistant on this bit of preliminary work would indicate that both the provincial and dominion governments are equally alive to the desirability of getting Kootenay Flats under cultivation if fea**ible, and within reason financially. On the U.S. side the strongest possible assurance has also been given that they ait* ready to hold up their end financially and in eyery otherway once a favorable report is presented by a joint ho.-.vd wf drassiage engineers. With nil parties interested in tin- Work thus agreed, and with the pressing demand upon the provincial government to get ii report-as toon as possible with a view to utilizing the land for a ifturned soldiery area, everything would indicate that a dehnite pronouncement as to Kootenay Flats reclamation is not yery iiiaiiv inonius away.

The Importance of Pure Seed Government Pamphlet Will Be of Great Value to Farmers Pure seed is an important factor iu greater production. It might almost be said that it is the most important, for weedy seed having once been sown, it is impossible to foretell the damage that may be done to the growing crop, or the disappointment that may ensue when gathering or reaping times comes round. Hence at. this season of the year, when sowing is in prospect, a pamphlet issued by the seed Branch of thc department of agriculture at Ottawa, entitled "Cleaning Seed", is most timely and valuable, Jt tells of the implements that are needed and the methods that should be followed, especially in the cleaning of grain and grass seed. A letter to thc Publications Branch, Ottawa, will bring thc pamphlet promptly and without cost. "My wife is like. George Washington; I don't believe she could tell n. lie to save her soul."

An investigation made prior to thc agricultural community as a basis for introduction of thc measure has re- ihc industrial and coiiiiiieiciul pros-��������� ycalcd two ov.lstanding deficiencies perity of-tlu: country, was the. ob-jin connection with agricultural deject aimed at by the pavliamcnt of j velopnient. In the first instance, thc Canada when, in 1913, at the in-,response to the teachings of colleges stance of thc then minister of agri- of agriculture and experimental culture, thc Honorable Martin Barrel!, it adopted the measure "known as thc agricultural instruction act. By means of this act the sum of ten million dollars was set apart for distribution among the provinces ov larms was too slow to effect an im mediate ;.nd noteworthy improvement in the conditions surrounding farm life. The second weakness was found in the fact that little or no attempt was being made to adapt the War on Land and Sea Navy Is Helpless Without Army's Aid Archibald Herd, the naval critic of the Daily Telegraph, of London, does not-4ook for any immediate and remarkable change in allied naval strategy as a consequence of thc recent changes in the P.ritish admiralty, and in a recent article the Telegraph hc develops his reasons therefor as follows.: "I have heard it remarked that Admiral Jel'icoe .did not give the country much of a show. That criticism points to complete ignorance of the character of naval power and its limitations. I do not anticipate that the new first sea lord will give the nation a better show than his predecessor, for the simple reason that no man, however keen his fighting edge and however anxious to defeat the enemy, dare ignore the permanent factors governing war by- sea, of the fleet's responsibility to ���������^ the army, with its long and exposed lines of communication. "Ships cannot fight forts. The short German coast line is studded with forts, as thc Belgian coast is also defended. It is the universal experience at sea that in such conditions the stronger fleet can do little or nothing without the co-operation of military force. It is a common error to speak of the navy as one arm and the army as another; thc army is the extension of the. sea power of a maritime country, and its co-operation is essential ashore if the navy is to fulfill its mission afloat��������� in other words, compel thc enemy to fight. "The. admirals who flew their Hags during thc last great war had to maintain their blpckadc in patience during weary months, because the country did not possess the military power which could have driven tho enemy ships to sea or circumstances did not favor such a course. "Today we possess an army which, including Indian and Dominion troops, exceeds 6,000,000 men. But that army has never been employed as the extension of our sea power in the sense illustrated, for instance, by Gen. Sir George Aston, R.M.A., in his studies on amphibious war. "Our military strategy may have been influenced by events beyond our control, but it remains a fact that we have never possessed what Mr. Lloyd ijeorgc in his last speech described as an army of manoeuvre���������an army to be used as thc projectile of the fleet, and discharged at the weakest point on thc enemy's front by surprise. The Japanese, in their two wars, were more fortunate, as- were the Americans. *It was the Japanese army which forced thc Chinese fleet out of Port Arthur and Wei-hai-wei; thc American army compelled the Spanish fleet to leave Santiago, to accept overwhelming- defeat by sea; thc Russo-Japanese war is of such recent date that it is hardly necessary to recall that Japanese troops, and not Japanese seamen, captured Port Arthur, evicting the Russian fleet. "The sea controls the land, as our experience is showing, but the limitations of naval power exist, and apply not only to the German bases, but to the Belgian coast."

Thc Lorraine line is no sinecure, no holiday place. Every day sees small engagements of patrols, raiding parties, artillery duels, as Germans and Americans feel each other out.

Four years ago Hon. Price Ellison was in charge, combining the work with the department ������f finance. When he got into bad odor through buying up some government cows at a bargain, aud resigned, Hon. W. J. Bowser essayed the role of head agriculturist, tripling up with the attorney-generalship and finance department. Later on he reorganized the cabinet and Hon. Wm. Manson became the farmers' right hand man at Victoria. In September, 1816, the electorate relegated Mr, Manson to political oblivion and with the advent of the Brewster government along came Hon. John Oliver to superintend the destinies of our basic industry, and presumably to show that he was a horse for work, and as capable an administrator as some others who had preceded him, Mr. Oliver also took on the worries of a railways department. Now that honest- John not only has a railway on his hands, but- has also been blessed with the premiership as well, he in turn relinquishes the agricultural portfolio and enter Hon. E. D. Barrow, member for Chilliwack. The selection of Mr. Barrow bounds those who might over- seems to be the very best possible celebrate during time off duty. This latter feature is a speciality with the "Y" and the great good it has done in keeping an eye on soldiers just back from the front who likely would have gone on a spree, or worse, had not the better influences of the Y.M.C.A. been exerted upon him, has meant very much to thousands of our troops, if statements of commanding officers are to be believed. And to the men on the firing line and dugouts the Y.M.C.A. also renders a service at a time when a friend in need is a friend indeed. Here the help takes the shape of passing along hot drinks and refreshments of thst sort to the fighters as well-as to the wounded, while the "Y" huts along the roads the troops take getting to the front, also dispense a similar line of hospitality t<������ th*- in������'ii going up and coming out. With the exception of the canteens all thin varied service is i^iven free and given cheerfully. from the members now in the house, and if he displays the same ability and progressiveness as minister as he has in his agricultural operations the province will have good reason to be thankful for his call to office. Of all the ministers at Victoria none have greater opportunity to show themselves and make good, and at the same time encourage and show the way in an industry that B.C. is eminently adapted to, and the expansion of which is sadly needed both in our provincial and thc dominion's interests. Never forgetting the fact that the province's financial situation is not exactly what it should be to permit of a eplendidly aggressive agricultural policy, still THE Review has always felt that Mr. Oliver was altogether too conservative in such policies aa he enunciated during his short term in office. He seemed to want a sure tiling before branching out, and as in a young-agricultural vith everywhere the suggestion j country liko this sure things could that they're worry that they can't! only ho had by oxporionco, and ���������a it it ii,..re .,!'It. i-.xr.iiic.iuu-. costing money, Mr. fd.il 1 :.c*,!.( As Ralph Connor, the author, ami himself an army chaplain, says, 'Tn the matter of crejitwr** emu forts the Y.M.C.A. is nearer the boys than anyone else."

Cheer Up and Thanh God for the Y.M.C.A. TRY to picture yourself in the muddy cold trenches after exciting days and long nights of mortal danger and intense nervous strain. Rushing "whiz-bangs" and screaming "coal boxes" are no respecters of persons. You are hit! But despite shock and pain you still can face the long weary trudge back to dressing station. Weary, overwrought and.depressed, you are prey to wild imaginings of that other < coming ordeal with the surgeon. There are other "walking wounded," too! You must wait, wait, wait. And then��������� Up comes a cheery Y.M.C.A. man, the ever-present "big brother" - to the soldier, with words of manly encouragement. Close beside thc dressing station the good generous folks at home have enabled him to set up a canteen. He hands you biscuits, and chocolate or coffee.

Fugitive Von Roon, having seen Hilda Tressingham safely away from his immediate vicinity, hurried back to his chambers, cursing the foolishness of women with all the thoroughness he could command. "Eh-,' well, Metz!" he exclaimed, once again within thc secure fortress of his room, "lherc is no doubt ���������that it is all up! Wc must get out���������now. There will have to be no delay, no packing, no nothing. We must just march." "And how?" enquired Metz. Von Roon dropped into a and nibbed his fat chin. "It will be easy enough for he said thoughtfully. "I don't suppose anybody knows you���������I mean any of those gentry. As for mc I must prepare myself. It is well that I understand the useful art of malc- ing-np." "Your rendering of the elderly military man is perfection," observed Metz. "Nothing could be bet- "No, I suppose not," said von Roon. "Very well���������it must be that. But uow, yourself. You had better get across to Calais by the night chair you/ boat. I will go across tonight also, but I will go to Boulogne. All things considered, we had better, not travel together. I will come on to Calais some time tomorrow afternoon. Now go! Go in what you please, and don't bother about luggage. At times like these, of forced retreats, one carries nothing. Now- I shall prepare myself." Ami still anathematising all women, and one in particular von Roon went into his dressing room and began to make preparations for his flight. In thc course of a highly-adventurous life he had learnt thc value and importance of a proper cultivation of the art of disguise, and he had often gone about London, and into the company of people who knew him, so well made up that he had passed unrecognized.

Ont. no doubt now that hc would be able to get away from his chambers and to make his escape from England" with', as''mua.h- case, as in those previous adventures. At the sanie time, he did not minimize his danger. He felt sure that that high political per-' soivage _ whom he had referred to as a fox-like or lynx-like nature in his talk with Hilda, would certainly sec to it that whoever followed that lady to Shaftsbury Avenue would also see to it that ���������observation was kept on the person she visited. And for anything he knew, hc, von Roon, might be better known to the London police than he. believed himself to be. Yes, it was decidedly unpleasant, decidedly awkward, more than decidedly disconcerting���������and yet, there was nothing else to be done but to get away, for the present. He must leave his comfortable quarters, his soft chairs, his books, his pictures, his beloved piano, his stock of carefully- chosen wines, his cabinet of choice cigars. Hc almost shed tears at the thought of such deprivation; hc groaned freely as he began to strip off his clothes preparatory to assuming the disguise which Metz had recommended to him. Nevertheless, it was not conceivable to him that hc would eventually lose these good belongings, these desirable properties which he had accumulated in his convenient chambers. No���������even if he were found out as the purloiner of thc now notorious secret document, there was no lav/ in England, surely, which could rob him of his property? He must go, it was true; he must do anything rather than be placed in a prison cell. But he would lock up his chambers; he I would ask a certain friend to give out that he had gone abroad for the sake of his health; that friends would look after his goods until��������� well, until they could be packed up and sent overseas to him. For Otto vou Roon knew very well that he would never set foot in London again���������or, at any rate, for a very long time. That utterly foolish woman, with her i.'.eas of love and marriage, had spoiled everything���������everything! "She was, I suppose, falling in love with me vdl the time, then?" he muttered to himself, as he set about shaving off his blonde moustaches. "Bah!���������these women always spoil all delicate work with that! As if I had time to consider such matters." Then he gave himself up to con- la all cotwtriM. Amik. (or our INVEt-7.

I cannot recommend Kidney Pills enough." Dodd's Kidney Pills arc the greatest of all remedies for weak, suffering women. Thcy cure the kidneys. The kidneys are thc root of niuc- tenths of women's ills. Moreover, cured kidneys mean pure clear blood all ovcr the body. That means good health everywhere. r L Wfeen Sbayisag y$ur Plane Insist oo haviffig an ft**!***!? or, The Fire Minimize Peril By UAng Building Up the Blood Nervous people who have not yet I developed a disease that can be recognized and treated by the medical profession have the greatest trouble in finding relief. Irritation, headaches, sleeplessness, nervous dyspepsia, all these discomforts make life miserable, but are endured rather than run a doctor's bill without definite hope of an improved condition. Every sufferer should know the danger of such a condition to the nervous system. Nervous debility and even paralysis may result if the tone of the nerves is not restored. The one big fact ihat brings hope and relief is ihat the nerves can be restored by building up the blood. It cannot be too often repeated that only through the blood can nourishment or medicine reach the nerves. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills make the blood rich and red and quickly restore vitality and energy to a weak, nervous system. A nervous person who gives these pills a trial is almost certain to see good results, and what is more, the benefit \\vill be lasting because the trouble is at- i tacked at its root; building up the I blood restores the nerve force. That I is why people who occasionally take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills always feel I bright, active and strong. Mrs. | Wm.

Orun -SoBook Go e Phove fi7 CRESTON Sam Woo, the local Chinese magnate and potato king, is a business visitor at Cranbrook this week. Sam's operations last year totalled about three carloads of spuds, but he is not going it so heayy this season. The scholars in vice-principal Smith's room had a very successful tea on Friday last, the money going to the prisoners of war fund. Quite a number of the parents attended and the intake amounted to over $12. J. D. Moore of Kaslo, the provincial road superintendent, was a week-end caller here on official business. The C.P.R. is hard put to secure male help and is putting girls on as waiteresses on the boat between that town and Nelson. * Tom Leaman, who is in charge of the Robt. Stark 'ranch claims the honor of having the first robins to show with a clutch of young red breasts this year. Early last week these cherry-eaters made their appearance. The lot opposite the C.P.R. is again filling up with poles, and from appearances there will be quite a heavy export of these from Creston this year. Winlaw & Son have over ] 7000 of them to ship, the bush fire last ! week burning up at least 600. The April vital statistics show the Valley to haye been blessed with one birth,* one marriage and but one death The newcomer was a girl, and the marriage was of an Ainsworth citizen who came on to Creston to meet his bride, Who came from Spokane. Inspector Forrester of the Dominion police left on W ednesday for Fernie taking along with him a local teamster by the name of Miller for medical examination. Miller registered in Nova Scotia but has no ~ papers to show that he ever appeared before the doctors. Water users are secure against a raise in rates for at. least another month. Word comes from "Victoria that the Goat Mountain Waterworks Co. application to put a new schedule of charges into effect this month will be considered and acted upon at a later date. C.P.R. Supt. Harshaw of Cranbrook, accompanied by J. H.^ Shin- nock of Caigary, inspector for fhe Dominion Railway Commission, were visitors here on Friday and Saturday, looking into several local matters, including the placing of a C.P.R. agent at the Canyon. The export of the Valley 1918 asparagus and rhubarb crops commenced this week, with a good demand for both commodities. The former ^is froru.the McMurtrie ranch, while the R. Stark place is the. first to come along with rhubarb. The latter brought i cents a pound. t Holy Cross Church ladies had a fair turnout at their dance on Friday night at the Auditorium, for which the Creston orchestra furnished the music. With the busy season on and quite a number heing called away for military service the Valley dancing crowd is getting pretty well thinned out now. There was a fairly geod turnout of plot owners and others at the cleanup bee at the ceinetery on Wednesday afternoon, and as a result the burying grounds presents a decidedly better apperrance. The company will utilize the funds that are in thc* treasury to still further itnproye appearances. ' . If the party or parties who unlawfully removed the warehouse truck from the Fruit Growers Union building will return same at once they will by so doing escape being arrested, on a charge of theft, and the consequent unpleasantness that would surely follow such action. This notice would not be inserted if we had the slightest idea who the guilty party is, but the fapt that they stand a reasonable chance of never being found out should not lessen the feeling of uneasiness and insecurity which is the natural accompaniment of a guilty conscience. Return the truck and experience that feeling of satisfaction that follows the correction of an unworthy act. As a further sal ye to conscience we would suggest that the guilty party pay for this notice. If shame prevents their paying in person the money could be sent by registered letter, addressed to Creston Fruit Growers Union, Ltd. xne nrs*> asparagus o* the season made its appearance for patriotic purposes on Tuesday afternoon, when, a quantity of it donated by Mrs. McMurtrie was on sale and fetched the society $3.70.
