Through a typographical error in Ihe Press last week a child was re- norted born to Mr. and Mrs. J. Dale. The initial should have been 'A, as Mr. and Mrs. Alec Dale are the happy parents. We congratulate Mr. and Mrs. A. Dale and apologize to Mr. and Mrs. J. Dale. The New Year dance given by the Mara M. & A.

Wheeler took his son to Vernon Tuesday to have the X-ray put on his. arm to discover* if the fall recently suffered by the boy had, caused the fracture of thc bono. To the relief of all, the X-ray demonstrated lhal there was no fracture but simply a contraction of the muscles, which'it is believed can be easily broken. The new 3c war stamp is now being issued by lhe Postoffice Department.

Sincerely, Coup D. K. Glen. (A similar request comes to The Press form Private Jas. Green, who has .been confined'to the hospital for some weeks as ihe result of an operation for rupture.). ' Private J. E. Pacey writes from Shornclifi'e: "I received a" lovely cake from the Enderby Tobacco Fund last Tuesday and I must say il was lhc best cake I lasted "for a long lime. Il certainly was a treat, and I wish through" your- paper to thank.the Enderby tobacco Fund and the kind "people of En derby- very, much indeed for-Iheir. kindness'to mc. ; I also wish them ,;r Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year." - . - Private Robt.

Wc do nol know when wc go back to the firing line. the toe to dreamy waltzes, enliven ing two-sleps and other movements of grace and symphony rendered by the Enderby orchestra, always look forward lo a good lime when lhc local Knights of Pythias give their annual ball, and they expected more than lhe usual lasl Friday evening at the New Year dance. And they got it. The dancers in attendance numbered 130; the floor TiiHrhairTirrangcnienls wereexcel- lenl, the music good and������������������������������������������������������ refreshments the best and plentiful. The rest remained for the dancers to provide, and-when it was all over it was voted unanimously to have been "the best ever." ENDERBY CURLERS BUS Y Though a bit late in starting the 'roar.in' game this season, Enderby knights of thc besom and stanes are sure of having all the playing Iheir enthusiasm calls for. Jas.

Private Pal Mowat writes thc officers of the Fund: "Received today the grandest parcel of good things from lhe kind-people of Enderby. Cannot begin to write how much the things were appreciated by my comrades and myself. Will the committee convey to all names in thc parcel my deepest thanks for 'their kindness. - Wishing everyone a Prosperous and Happy New Year. Sincerely, Pat, Mowat." . From Private Hatcher comes the following characteristic note: "I now write you the few lines thanking the people of thc Enderby -To b a cco-Fu n d-f o iuX m as_p a rccl-aiid. also for lhe cake. I did not have lo use it as a bomb. I guess it did more good lhan throwing it al llie Germans. Wishing you all a Merry Xmas and Happy New Year, from Somewhere in Plunder, J. M. Hatch eh." And from, the heart of Private Smedley this .token of. thankfulness comes:'"! have just received a line parcel from-llie Kiulerby^Tobaeco Fund. The contents of Ihe parcel were fine eatables and wearing apparel, having arrived intact, inspite of ils long journey., If you could have seen my pals and I silting round the parcel, all anxiously awaiting results, and if you could picture we fellows silling around after the meal, each wearing a look of satisfaction, both you and lhe committee would acknowledge thai the parcel had not been sent in vain. 11 is very, very nice lo know lhal, even if we arc away from home, on such a queer campaign, lhat those al home are constantly thinking of. us and wishing for our welfare, and I can positively say lhal such feeling is very gratifying. Thanks once again for the parcel. Best wishes to vou all for. Xmas. Moping you have a very happy one. , Gko. Smkdu'y" CIVIC ELECTIONS Next Mondav will be nomination day. and tbe'following Thursday the civic elections will be held. II one were to be guided by the inleresl apparent on thc streets or in business circles, one could not believe that election day is so near. One thing, seemingly, has been (let inilely settled, and lhat is that lhc present incumbent of lhe mayoralty, Mr. S. Poison, will not bc a candidate for re-election, he having announced his intention to enter thc contest at Vernon. Thc News says lhal lhe announcement of his inlen- meniioncd arc few; though on the day of nominalion there is likely to be a plethora of them. Now is the chance, it is considered, for anyone in whose* bonnet lhc political bee has ever buzzed lo get into lhe race. While it will be impossible for any body of'aldermen lo do'much more than fill the seals this year, so far as the expenditure of public fxnids is concerned, for lhere is no way of gelling more money lo operate with than to simply pay the current wage and supply account, siilT there is much lhal any council may do in lhc way of directing thc individual efforts of our citizens in ihe matter of local improvement to die streets,* the homey grounds, sidewalks, elc. Tis said "all this could bc dbneJjy individual effort, without .the aid of any council, "and. since the cily!s banker is virtually master -of **-thep-situation^ the'~Cily. Clcrk and the.bank, withlhe-aid'of the faithful"pol,iceman;could handle the situation,qiiile as"successfully as with" thc -Mayor,and "Aldermen added. But lhe law. provides lhat the ollices shall bc filled, hence an election musUbc-held. ,-���������������������������������������������������������������������������������._*.-;>.-',..��������������������������� .V- fn addition-'to thc. election ** of- Mayor and Aldcrmeii and" three school trustees, Ihe electors will he- called upon to decide the question of a monthly "grant of $40 to the Collage Hospital. This'proposition was submitted to the retiring City Council by Ihe hospital board.in response lo a request from a public meeting of the citizens. Thc Aldermen did not feci disposed to make the granl requested and decided to pul Ihe mailer up to the ratepayers, themselves. If the question carries at the polls, the monthly granl asked for will bc made; if thc decision of the ratepayers is against the-propo- sition, no grant will be made and the hospital will have to get along as best il can, as il has in thc past, with the aid of monthly subscriptions from a number of citizens, or close its doors. TIIEJUERRY HA-HA Saturday was. New Year's" Day���������������������������a legal holiday. To a'ccommodale a patron from' Ihe outside district, a merchant was at his place of business and served him. Which all will agree, was as it should hc. Contrast this wilh whal would happen if the outside patron should require wailing on Thursday afternoon. Uiitloi- Uio~absurd l;UsV*assedlby-lhc City Council,-if this patron, or any other, were served al'lcr 12 o'clock the merchant would be prosecuted and a line imposed, and the dislrict patron would'be made a parly lo lhe "crime." Truly,-lhe people responsible -for gelling this bylaw through, .musl have a very peculiar idea of how to attract business lo Enderby. The idea of making it a crime lo do business in Enderby Thursday afternoons must have'originated in a house of 'bugs.' I! docs not do credit lo the sanity cither of the cily or our merchanls, and as for the people of thc district, they are giving us the merry ha-ha. And throwing Iheir business elsewhere. , __ ALBERTA PROSPEROUS. Mr. W. J. Woods, general merchant, returned from Rctlaw, .Alta., on Monday after an absence of several weeks. At Rellaw Mr. Woods, established a large general store, and sends Mr. Wm. Duncan thither earlv next week to lake charge. Mr.. Woods stales lhal the town of Rellaw and vicinity is choked with wheal, it being estimated that there are upwards of three million bushels there awaiting shipment. Just now, owing to the scarcity or cars, lhere i.s a lull in shipments, which il i.s not expected will bc broken until carly'-in April. In the vicinity ol Rellaw Mr. Woods has a wheal farm. This season's yield netted 40 bushels to LATE WAR SUMMARY - Lloyd's has trebled the insurance rate on all cargoes passing through'' the Suez Canal. This announcement made oii Dec. 30lh* created' a most profound impression in Lou-" don. Although the War Office will . rhave nothing to say on the subject, il means, beyond doubt, that ihe gravest apprehensions arc fell, and lhat thc presence of Turco-German , forces near the canal must bc a" certainty.

The fresh submarine campaign in the Mediterranean, while admitted Jo he a temporary success, is being mastered, Germany already having ksl many submarines there. SPECIAL REGIMENTS The Militia Department al Ottawa lias decided lo authorize the raising of a number of special regiments. These will include one or more Indian battalions, a Metis battalion, a colored battalion and a naturalized Japanese-Canadian battalion. Among the honors conferred by the King at thc New Year is that of baron upon Sir Thomas Shaughnessy, who, it is reported, will become a member of the British House of Lords. THE ENDERBY PRESS AND WALKER'S WEEKLY. Thursday, JANUARY 6, 1916 wc have been able to weather the storm as well as we have. Sir Richard leaves in a few days to take up his new duties as Agent General in London. In his new sphere of effort Sir Richard will find a larger licld of labor, to which he is peculiarly fitted.. He will bc placed in contact with men who'must be interested in British Columbia, and no man is better posted, on the resources and possibilities of the Province than hc. We may expect big things from Sir Hichard in llie capacity of Agent General und, if we are to judge from lhe past, wc may feel confident lhat he will not disappoint us. < At a farewell banquet tendered Sir Hichard by the people of Victoria a few evenings ago, he expressed anew Ihe solemn conviction lhat has been liis from childhood. Hc carries this conviction with him across the water, and, as he labors for the Province among men of wealth and attainment, it will ever be thc means of spurring him on in his labors. "The future is full of hope," hc said, "and the West is possessed of incalculable wealth. Time, bringing wilh il development, "will prove British Columbia -the. richest Province in lhe Dominion."

THURSDAY, JANUARY 6, 1916 SECOND PATRIOTIC FUND APPEAL Thc following appeal of the Duke of Connaught on behalf of thc Canadian Patriotic Fund is the. second hc has made. The Canadian people were most liberal in their response to the "first appeal, and. if the work of lhe Fund is to go on in lhc future, thc response to lhc second appeal must be more liberal lhan was that lo lhe 'appeal made at the beginning of the work of thc Flind: "Somewhat over a year ago, as President of tiie Canadian Palriolic Fund, I made an appeal to the people of the Dominion for funds to assist thc families of lhc gallant men who arc going to thc fronl. Though anticipating a generous response. I was hardly prepared for the magnificent manner in which the call was met. Monies have poured inlo the treasury of the Fund ii mil the total contributions have reached and exceeded six million dollars. "Large, however, as this sum appears, il has nol greatly exceeded current demands and, if peace were declared in the immediate future, the entire surplus on hand would be required before all the men of the Expeditionary Force could again return home. "Today there arc 25,000 families, comprising, it is "es-tim-nledT^SOjOIJU-^indmdiials^^dependcnt-���������������������������upon Patriotic Fund. "Wilh furlher recruiting lhc demands upon thc Elbert Hubbard came as near as- thc most of us will come in having his wish granted when he was torpedoed into eternity in the sinking of thc Lusilania. "1 want no mark left to denote that I lived,' work. he once wrote, "save as it appears in my CONSCRIPTION-WITH THE NEW YEAR "Frccdoni suspended only lo save freedom." Under this slogan, Great Britain enters upon a new form of government this year. For the first time in history Britain must resort to compulsory service in order to bring men enough to the colore lo permit her to continue to do her part in the great world struggle for supremacy between the Teuton and Anglo-Saxon. It. has required many monlbs for England to reach lhc point where she could accept the inevitable with any degree of calm. For months the light against compulsory service has been keen, ancl bul for lhc strong men in favor ol' conscription, and"lhe only partial success of Lord Derby's scheme, compulsory service would, even up to wilhin a week ago, have been refused. But il had to conic. The Government promised it .would bc enforced if Lord Derby's plans failed to gel lhc number of men required, and Hon. Lloyd George threatened to resign if thc pledge of the Government was nol kept. Now that the decision has been reached and lhc step finally taken, thc people of England seem to feel heller and il is probable thai the action of the Government will be approved^ even by thc labor unions, although only a Jew days ago strong resolutions were passed by some of the unions condemning conscription and calling a national convention of labor representatives lo prepare to oppose compulsion. Unquestionably lhis decision of thc Government has been delayed months for no other reason than lhat of petty hatred-of what is known as thc Harmsworlh dailies, which have all along urged conscription as thc only solution of the growing problem confronting the nalion. And because the Harmsworlh papers favored conscription, the favored class having lhc ear of thc Government opposed Conscription, without reason and without hearing. 11 was even staled publicly through lhc press lhat Hon. Lloyd George was simply a tool in thc hands of thc Harmsworlh press to carry out the dictates of that particular political element. lhc^I.n_,vie.w^olLthis^aiilagoiiisn),_absolutc.!y_,iJoi:eign^.t_o_ lhc real questions at issue, it is nol to be wondered at that conscription was held oil' so long. Now Fund will, wilh each succeeding monlh, continue to j that compulsory service has come and is here lo grow, so that il is estimated lhal, should the war con-! stay, the feeling of uncertainty will quickly dis- linuc during 11) lis, a sum amounting to some $8,000,000' appear, and England will accept thc new ordcrof and probably more will be required. This would, things as calmly as the visit of a Zeppelin is taken however, only mean ���������������������������*?! per head of the population I Ihe people of Canada, and il i.s little indeed to ask those who remain al home in comparison wilh t or of Ik" sacrilice in life and limb of those who arc lighting in defence of the nalion. "In spilo of all Ihe various calls thai have been made for funds lo aid our soldiers and sailors and lhc magnificent response that has been made in each and every case, I still feel assured lhal lhc warm hearts of all Canadians will respond lo lhis further appeal lo enable lhe Patriotic Fund lo continue ils splendid work during liJIG and take care of Ihe families of those who arc lighting for Iheir Sovereign, the Empire, and lhe Dominion, on lhc ballle-lields of Europe and on the High Seas. "(Signed) AHTIIUH. "President, Canadian Patriotic Fund. "Government House, Ottawa, 1st January, l!)l(j." The one strong man who seems to loom large in the conduct of the war as between thc Government and lhe people, i.s lion. Lloyd George. Upon his shoulders must rest thc credit of forcing lhe Government's hand. Upon him will largely rest the responsibility of checking any opposition that might show itself to lhe Government measure when il is finally made effective. And there is promise of opposition, not only from the labor unions bul from the Irish party as well. SIR RICHARD'S PARTING WORDS The many years of useful service given lo the Province of British Columbia by Sir Hichard McBride have been filled with strenuous effort and deep resolve. No man has done more for the Province than lie and few have accomplished as Does lhc town you live in look jagged and broken; is the trade balance against you. Repair yourself. HALF MILLION MEN FROM CANADA As a flitting New Year's announcement to lhc Canadian people and to the British Empire, the statement was made from the sick room of Premier Borden on January 1st thai the authorized Canadian forces for overseas service has been raised from 250,000 to 500,000, "as a token of Canada's unflinching resolve lo crown thc justice of our cause with victory and an abiding peace." "lie message issued to the Canadian people by the much, lie liecame rremier when British Colum-j Prime Minister is one of pride in what the men of bin was iu an upheaval, financially and politically.

It is the duty of every butter maker to comply with the law in this matter. Some butter makers have only a cow or two, and make so little butter that it docs not appear to them that they caii afford to have their butter wraps printed.

Tho' trillling seems this tale to you It has this merit, it is true. Somewhere Jn Flanders or in France, (Censor forbids a nearer glance) Some soldier boys a .sharing, Enjoyed the Hiring, And as they ate of home they talked Of paths in which they oft had walked. Whence,came this pudding? since out there * It does not grace the bill of fare. A sergeant,'for thc mess would try, Some needful furnishings to buy, So bade his cook a pudding make That all who would a slice might pudding toothsome dainty into the war, Russia's aim is lo reconquer Bukowina for the benefit of her new ally. This task can bc accomplished in a few weeks. The Roumanians Ihen will fortify the new province and, march with thc Russians through Bulgaria and Transylvania, while simultaneously Serbians, will deal blows on the the Italians, French, British and other fronts." v������������������j. lake. "A penny a slice, now boys," he cried; "Pass up "your cash and have a taste, Nor let this dainty go to waste: So rich with raisins, sugar and spice: . .; - V. ��������������������������� t Did ever pudding seem so nice?" And as he passed thc dish around Full many a purchaser hc found. It tasted good, so I've been told As down each eager throat it rolled; They seldom tasted,fare.so nice,... - And. clamored for a second,slice.

But, be the journey long or short, we shall not pause or-falter until we have, secured for the smaller states, of Europe, their charter of independence, an,d for.

WHAT THE ALLIES HOPE FOR If we can gather any idea of what the future has in store for us in respect to the great world war, from what now appears to come from reliable source, there is every probability of our seeing a rapid change for the better come over thc Near East complications. The Pall Mall Gazette's Russian correspondent writes: "The Russian joint occupations with Roumania are now on the point of beginning. Roumania will fight with us, although not for us. Her siding with the Entente is not thc result of French or English sympathies, but an endeavor to realize the Roumanian dream of sovereignty over Bukowina and Transylvania. As preparation for Roumania's entry Chicago Tribune has a way of putting things which makes one lose sight of the temporary reverse and look beyond to the ultimate and see there bright, rays of hope. In connection with the British-retirement from the Gallipoli.adventure, it says: "Conceived in. doubt, it was executed in hope. Thc.Germahs either would not have essayed the adventure or they would have been prepared against the last minute. They, wbiild cither have, remained away from the scene of.war or they would have been lhere fuslest with the;mostest men. Tne British way of taking sporting chances docs not appeal to the German mind. The German, wants to know where he is going even if he docs not care to know why lie is going there.. The Pritqir is magnificent in believing in his destiny." "The Suvia bay region is pathetically wet and fat with the best blood and body of the British empire. The Australians were * used there, the youngest life of the oldest living empire. They were geographically as distant from the issues as we,in the-United States'are. They might have been as emotionally distant as we are. Bul the wonderful cement AvhLch^binds_the_prcsent_da>LBnli_sh empire together held these boys from the Far East and the Near East has received their vain sacrifice. "Yet one wonders whether or not it has been vain. The British empire seemingly has been built in the crudest fashion upon the blunders of its statesmen and thc stubbornness of its people. That stanch, easily outmaneuveretl, never" defeated entity called Great Britain has done "this Gallipoli thing before.
