All were more than pleased with the thoroughness of the improvements and the splendid appearance of the wards, the dining room,\" linen closets, kitchen, etc. After inspect-, ing the institution the visitors 'were served afternoon tea by the matron, Mrs. McPherson, and ladies of the' Hospital Auxiliary, when all expressed their pleasure, and admiration for the able manner in which they found the hospital conducted. The history and full \"details in connection Avith the building of the hospital addition are loo Avell known to bear repeating here. The enlargement of the building adds one new ward down-stairs, also a linen closet, an enlarged dining,^ room and a -mod ern hospital kitchen. Upstairs two wards are added with out-door sleeping porch for each, with a clothes chute to the laundry porch and a silent waiter from the kitchen below and a linen closet for the upper floor. The new addition and the relation of these rooms to those already in use gives Enderby as complete and compactly arranged cottage hospital as can be found in the-interior. * It is furnace-iieated throughout. The Hospital Board is endeavoring to.secure assistance from the Provincial Department under ,tho Hospital Act to enable them to - properly furnish the additional\" wards and - later to make some alterations at the entrance of the hospital to' make possible the-better handling of patients brought in on a stretcher.

During' 1920 exports of bacon and ham and of beef were about 64 per cent of the 1919 totals; pork about 50 per cent and canned meats only about one-sixteenth of the total. The drop of 82,000,000 lbs, in pork -products would represent the exportable portions of about 745,000 hogs. .

ENDERBY LIBRARY ASSOCIATION Tiie annual meeting to elect the members of the Board of Management will be held in the Citv Hall on Monday, Jan. 10/1921, at 3:30 p.m. EVELINE BURTON, Sec. Enderby Library Assn. The fear is widespread that the \"Blue Laws\" of early New England are once more to be saddled upon the United States and Canada. Fear not, faint heart. Let us be slow in condemning the old days and the old ways. They had withal a certain mellowness. While the whipping-post, the ducking-stool and various amenities incidental to Salem witchcraft might prove a trifle irksome in these latter years, there were features of life in Pitritanical times, and for some subsequent decades, the return ot which need not be dreaded. With which few words, we introduce an informative extract from Alice Morse Earle's 'Stagecoach and Tavern Days' (McMillan), quoting from one who is a recognized authority on the \"blue\" period of which she wrote: \"Ordination Day was almost as great for the tavern as for the meeting-house. The visiting ministers who came to assist in the religious service of ordination cf a new minister were usually entertained at the tavern.\" Often an especially good beer was brewed called 'ordination beer,' and in Connecticut an 'ordination ball' was given at the tavern���������������������������this with Lhe sanction of the parsons. The bills for entertaining the visitors are in a many cases preserved. _ One of the most characteristic was ford ordination. It runs BUREAUCRATIC WISDOM. at a Hart- Our Federal government now says: If a soldier settler has not more than twenty acres of land, we will refuse to aid him. This ruling will work a hardship upon settlers in British Columbia entitled to aid under the S. S. B. It could only have been framed by some office holder in the east Avho has not yet made the journey to the Pacific Coast. Here men succeed with fifteen acres, ten acres, or less. It's a matter of intensive cultivation and specialized effort. ' In the coast, districts and on the Island, settlers usually have a better chance of success if they do not take on too much land. In certain parts ot the interior settlers need larger areas. We know of cases where men with five acres have made a better success of things than others with almost as many hundreds. --, Surely Ottawa does not propose to penalize soldier settlers in this province just because climatic, and soil conditions here differ from those of the other provinces. ��������������������������� Farm and Home.

' Somebody over in England conceived the bright idea to load upon Canada a navy, consisting of one cruiser, a destroyer and three or four submarines. The gift came quite unexpectedly and about as unwelcome as it was unexpected. What Canada is going to do with it nobody seems to know. A navy of half a dozen gift boats is not large enough to be of any service and too large to be operated for the fun of the thing. Perhaps, it is argued, if Canada is made a gift of these boats, we,-, might like the cost of operating them so well it may induce us to add more fighting ships and bye and bye we might have a navy of a- full dozen. _ But battleships nnd dread naughts ar-e^u i^ex p en s i-\\:e=J u x u uy^an d=a^.co s tl y^ plaything. It is net likely that Canada will add to the gift, for the reason that such ships are out of date as fighting ships and too expensive to keep around just to look at. Lieut.-Commander J. M. Kenworthy M. P., well known British export on naval afrairs says: \"The best that could possibly happen to the world is this: At a certain hour on a certain clay and a certain month, to bo arranged, every ship of war belonging to every nation should bo taken into deep water and sunk with appropriate religious ceremony, officers of tho navies of all natiuns being liberally pensioned, their pensions depending upon their not agitating for more warships.\" This opinion is not shared by the men in control who live by the sword or the warship, but it is share*!'' by the great mass of the people everywhere. Yet certain men and- certain newspapers already are beginning to strut about and laud the merits of our three-point navy! Members of the farmers' institutes of Vancouver Island opened their annual convention at the Empress Hotel at Victoria, on Jan. 7th, to settle questions to do with amalgamation with the United Fanners, Oriental competition and credit to settlers, by-a series of personal attacks, with one speaker apparently trying to outdo the other.in straigJit-from-the-shoulder talk, says the Vancouver Province. C. E. Whitney-Griffiths, who pre sided, said that because secretaries of farmers' institutes do not reply to questions, it could not be found out exactly, how the institutes stand on the Farmers' Institutes���������������������������United Farmers question. \"The majority of secretaries do not answer questions because they do not know what is being talked about, said A.Kakout o'f.Sobke.\" \"Don't you know that farmers', institutes are jokes?\" \"Gentlemen,\" don't get hot under the collar.\" said the chairman. , \"I do believe that our meetings don't amount to anything,\" Mr.'Ka- hout went on. \"There is a great deal of rope-pulling and scheming going on, and then we get long reports\" from a windy chairman. It would be all right if we were in party politics and could then scheme for all sorts of things.\" \"Do you think it fair to call your A few tons each of good Potatoes.

There have been all ' sorts of statements made during the last year by men behind my back. They were not correct. They were deliberately false. \"I defy anyone to show that I have not done my.duty. Gentlemen, I will do my duty by you, but be fair.\" \"You have done your duty, but the fault ������������������is with the government for not putting through the proposals we passed upon,\" said T. Pearse of Courtenay. A resolution was uanimously passed expressing the satisfaction of the institutes with Whitney-Griffiths as secretary , and the \"work he'has undertaken and we resent all\" the dirty stuff' that has been thrown at him.\" \"We will get somewhere at this meeting.
