Both in number of exhibits and in character of the work and the scope of the exhibits the fair was a surprising success -. and speaks well for botb teachers and scholars. Particular\" mention should be made of the agricultural exhibits for which no prizes were offered, and of the work and helpfulness of Janitor Toin Robinson, who contributed in so many ways, especially in flowers, to the.success of the fair.

In the live stock sheds the Hereford entries by. the Fintry Farm were a show It would be \"hard to beat. Buchanan's Aberdeen .

'\".'_ It was easy to be seen there Is a lack of\" Interest Vin^ sheep and_ :hog raising by , the small showings in these classes. Competition in the various classes of poultry were especially ' keen. H^ A. Allison's entries of. Barred Rocks were the comment of all. Phillips' White Wyandottes also attracted much attention. The showing '\"of White Leghorns by G. H- Smedley of Enderby, took many of the prizes in this class. With, 13 entries against him Mr. Smedley captured -1st and 2nd in cockerels; with 18 entries, 1st and 3rd in pullets; and won 2nd in pen. He also won the Championship Cnp for tbe finest male bird in the show. V . o p.-W. Chapman was another winner of prizes from this district. He carried off 1st for ensilage corn; 2rd for ensilage sunflowers; 3rd for matured Jersey bull; 1st for Dorset Horned .ram;.. 1st .and._2nd_for__Porset ewes, and 3rd for pigeons. Exhibits from Enderby-Mara district were most regrettably few. The one redeeming feature was the district exhibit by the newly developed locality overlooking Grindrod and known as Grandview Bench. This display, considering the short time that locality has been developed, was remarkably fine. It took 2nd prize against the district exhibit by Lumby. The industrial exhibits by the Delco people, Lands Limes, stoves, ranges, autos. building material, etc., attracted much attention, ana all visitors showed particular pleasure at seeing the display of Flavo Flour, milled by the Okanagan Farmers Milling Co., recently established at Vernon. The $10,000 Percheron stallion owned by the farmers of Lavington-Lum by took the eye of everyone visiting the horseshed. Jno. Bell's black Clydesdale B. C. iBaron also made a One showing. In this division there was little competition, except, possibly in the saddle horse and general purpose classes. Following--the judging there was some horseracing and a bucking contest Tursday afternoon which ended a very successful fair. Armstrong's new hospital was formally opened last week, and is the pride of that locality. BORN���������������������������At Armstrong hospital, Oct. ,28 to Mr. and Mrs. Brock Hilliard, of Deep Creek, a son: Mrs. J. Dunwoodie is visiting Enderby friends from -Victoria, where she has resided the past three years or more. The Fintry Farm Herefords and the Davidson Shorthorns ������������������ from Calgary were the big attraction in the cattle exhibits at Armsrong last week. There were 25 per cent, more entries in the Armstrong Fafr^this year than last, and oil districtss but Enderby \"and Mara were well represented. - o\" The new' drop curtain and wings for the Enderby Theatre stage were placed into, position Tuesday, adding greatly to the appearance of the play house and particularly, to the stage effect. ���������������������������There will be \"an exhiblion of Ayr- sire cattle, Yorkshire, Birkshire, Tamworth and> PoTan China hogs.

It arrived at 7 o'clock Tuesday evening and left at 1 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon. As a result many who intended seeing the exhibits failed to go to Vernon from outside points. But Vernon citizens and residents close in took_advantage of the opportunity offered Wednesday morning and a steady stream of visitors passed through the exhibition cars from 9 o'clock until noon. The French exhibitionQ train was officially inaugurated by Marshal Fayolle, the head of the special French mission to Canada, and was opened with much ceremony by Premier Meighen at Montreal on August 27. The train Is made up of twelve coaches, eight of which are industrial exhibit cars. The first of these, known as \"La Pensee Francaise\" (the French thought), is an exhibition of the art, literature and science of France throughout -the ages. -There are'special exhibits of historical character as well. The second and third coaches, displayed industrial exhibits including travel (railways and shipping), photography, civil engineering, mines and fhineral products, mechanics, building decorations and sports. ThereVere exhibits from the French colonies, .and- one section was devoted more, particularly. t0 aeronautics. * Of special interest to women was the car called ^''La Mode,\" where was shown the' latest designs of. Parisian g wns and frocks, as well - as_ hats, hosiery,- corsets - and - everything1 connected\" with* madame's toilette, as dic^ tated by the dressmakers of the Rue men and Canadians on the battle field would continue in the fields of commerce, science and art. MARA NOTES George this week to spend the winter de' la Pa,x- Another coach contained here. He says there are 21 sawmills located between Revelstoke and Fort George and only here and there a mill Mara to the Armstrong fair but those that- attended seemed well pleased with the show, especially the cattle and poultry. At a special meeting of the Mara LocalaU. F. on Monday night Rupert Davy and Mr. McCurdy where elected as delegates to the District convention at Enderby on the 27.\" The meeting-was not in favor of putting a candidate in the field. .General sympathy is expressed here towards Miss Haydon, : ourV junior teacher,--who was called suddenly'to Vancouver - on the death of-.'her father. In the short time Miss Hay- n has been here she has made many friends- who hope to see lief hack shortly. Those- who were present enjoyed a rare musical-treat last Friday evening when Miss Wanship of the Shuswap Music club gave a concert. Owing to the counter attractions and' poor advertising there was not a big crowd present, but we can assure the lady that if she ever favors us- with another visit she will draw a large house. She has* a well trained soprano voice and is a splendid vocalist, and was very generous with her songs. She also aided in supplying music for the dance. Refreshments were served and greatly enjoyed. ^--.. ...v^.. GRINDROD NOTES Mrs. Handcock spent a few days at Vernon this week. Miss H. Graham spent the weekend at her home in Canoe. Mr. D. S. Rashleigh was unexpectedly called to Victoria on Monday. Mrs. D. S. Rashleigh is now in the Vernon Hospital with abscess in both ears. We hope she will have a speedy recovery. Messrs. Carlin and Stickland filled their silo this week with sunflower silage. The sunflower crop was enormous���������������������������plants 14 feet high were quite common. Rev. C. B. Blay held Harvest Service here on Sunday. The display of fruit and vegetables were not as������������������ large as formerly owing to the early frost having cut things off. GRANDVIEW BENCH NOTES A. Wixs of Victoria is visiting relatives here a few days. Mr. and Mrs. Lidston were visitors to Salmon Arm on Friday. F. J. Dysart is making a very extensive clearing on his ranch here. Quite a number of' Grandview Bench people went to Arms*rong on Thursday to see the exhibition. The smallest appartment-houses are those occupied by bees. In a' cubic foot of honeycomb there are about 000 cells.

The rest of the 0.000 acres is no farther developed lhan it was 50 years ago. And yet the government holds il away from worthy white Canadian families. The federal political campaign is to be fought out on the tariff issue���������������������������an issue that always has served to force Canadians back into old parly lines, though after the game is played nobody knows anything about the tariff and as Tittle carjes. However, since the tariff' is the issue, here is the tariff plank of each of the three parties in Canada. , \"��������������������������� The Tariff plank of the National Liberal and Conservative party is as follows: ��������������������������� ' ji \"A thorough revision of the tariff with a view to tlie adoption of such reasonable measures as are necessary��������������������������� '(A)* to assist in providing adequate revenues; (B) to stabilize legitimate industries; (C) to encourage the es- tahlishment of new industries essential to the economic development of th nation; (D) to develop to the 1-illest ������������������x- tcnt our natural resources; (E) to prevent the abuse of the tariff for thc exploitation of the consumer: xV) to safeguard the interests of the Canadian people :n tho existing world struggle for commercial and industrial supremacy. \"The principle of trade preference between the different members of the lirittannic Commonwealth should he maintained and extended from time to time to such degree\" as may be found practicable and consistent with Canada's interests.\" The Tariff plank of the Liberal Party is as follows: \"That the best interests of Canada demand that substantial reduction of the burdens of customs taxation be made with a view t0 the accomplishing of two purposes of the importance: (1) Diminishing'the very high cost of living which presses so severely on the masses of the people; (2) Reducing the cost of thc instruments of production in the industries based on the natural resources of the Dominion, the vigorous development of which is essential to the progress and prosperity of our country. \"That to these ends wheat, wheat flour a,nd all products of wheat, the principal articles of food, farm inplements and machinery, farm tractors, mining, flour and sawmill machinery and repair parts thereof, rough and dressed lumber, gasoline, illuminating, lubricating and fuel oils, etc., nets, net twines and fishermen's equipment and fertilizers should be free from customs duty, as well as the raw material entering into the same: that a revision downward should be effected in the duties on wearing apparel and footwear, and \"on other articles of general consumption (other than luxuries), as well as on the raw material entering int0 the manufacture of the same; that the British preference should be increased 50 per cent, of the general tariff. \"That the. Liberal Party hereby pledges itself to implement by legislation the provision of this resolution when returned to power.\" As to the Reciprocity Pact, which the people of Canada defeated in the general election of 1911, it is declared that \"we. as Liberals, again place on record our appreciation of the object of the said agreement, and our faith in the principles of friendly international relations underlying it, and we express our earnest hope that there will be a renewed manifestation by the two governments of a desire to make some \"similar arrangement.\" ,. ~ . The Tariff Plank of the Farmers' Party, as promulgated by thc Canadian Council of Agriculture, calls for the amending of thc tariff laws as follows: fl) By an immediate and substantial all-round reduction of the customs tariff. (2) By reducing the customs duty on goods'imported from Great Britain tc one-half the rates charged iin_ter the general tariff and that Curlier gradual uniform -reductions be made in the remaining tariff on British imports that will ensure complete free trade between Great Britain and> Canada. (3) That the Reciprocity Agreement of 1911 be accepted by the Parliament of Canada. (4) That all foodstuff not included in the Reciprocity Agreement be placed on the free list. (n) That agricultural implements, farm machinery, vehicles, fertilizers, coal, lumber, cement, illuminating fuel and lubricating oils he placed on the free list, and that all raw materials, and machinery used in their manufacture also be placed on the free list. (6) Tliat all tariff concessions granted to other countries be immediately extended to Great Britain.

Mr. Smilh a I the recent session of parliament Avas introduced, lo the privileges and elections committee of Ihc House of Commons to submit such interpretations on the Dominions Elections Act as might occur lo him, with llie result lhal the acl was considerably amended. Under lhc new Election Acl a British subject by birth or naturalization is entitled to vole if he or shc is 21 years of age. resident in Canada for one year and in the constituency for Iwo months at the time of the issue of Ihe writ. In cilics and towns of 2500 population a person to be. allowed to* vote must have his or her name entered on the voters' list before election day. In towns of 2500 or less population, and in rural municipalities, persons otherwise qualified, whose names arc nol on thc list, may vote by declaring on election day thcy are entitled to vote and at the same time have a voler, resident in thc sam;c poll, whose name is on the list, swear or declare lo the qualifications of thc applicant.' \"Once lhc writs are issued, lists,\" Mr. Smith says, \"will bc revised in every polling division in Canada and thc basis of these lists will be the provincial lists, as used in provincial elections any time within the past two years, except in such .provinces- where since the provincial elections, new lists havc been prepared by sheriff's or municipal'or other officials for, or as a basis of, provincial lists. To any such provincial lists will be added the names of persons now qualified and the names of non-qualified persons may be struck off. In provinces where there are no provincial lists, as pointed out, then thc lists are to bc wholly prepared for the present elections.

Stocking up the Harem���������������������������The 19- year-od princely son of the Egyptian khedive has become the centre of a Paris sensation, on discovery that he has been recruiting his harem from French bathing beaches. There isn't a section in the Dominion of Canada today where business conditions have come back so near normalcy as right here in the Okanagan, and Enderby has tho distinction of being tho one town in the valley which this year has not a lot to sell for delinquent taxes, and not a delinquent water rate, and tho \"business as usual\" sign can be hung over the door. In addition to a safely developing farming district wo have here the only lumber mill in the Province that has run night and lay shifts throughout the sawing season and will continue to do so fio long as weather conditions permit. There is not a mill in the Province, either, which is selling at as reasonable a price as the local mill, with the result that this season has seen the heaviest shipping' ot past years. Here is a write up of the Okanagan by Charlotte Gordon, in the Winnipeg Free Press, which tells truthfully of general conditions in the Okanagan. Enderby district does not figure extensively in fruit shipping, but of 60 bushel to the acre grain, ancl A 1 lumber this district \"beats em all,\" without talking about it. \"The present season is regarded as onc of the most satisfactory the residents of the Okanagan Valley have known, and every centre is now a scene of marked activity\" says the writer. \"The spirit of optimism that is evident is readily understood when it is known the value of the output of the valley for fruits, vegetables, grain and livestock, will amount to about nine million dollars. \"J. A. MacKelvie, M.P., for. Yale, editor ot the Vernon News, stated that in his thirty-two years of residence in the valley, he had never seen better crops. He considered that no section of the continent was better able to face hard times than the Okanagan valley. . There -. has been a satisfactory development in the various districts during the last two years and quite a.numbev of new settlers have come in. Mr. MacKelvie stated that the great problem was irrigation, and as it is gradually being solved, he is confident, that with the fine climate and large returns per capita, this choice corner of Arcadia will 'some day be thickly populated. \"The irrigation systems represents an expenditure0 of about $5,000,000 and aro privately owned, municipally owned and owned by water districts, controlled by the people. The future will see progress along the lines of greater centralization in the administration of the systems in the various districts and will bring about a greater economy. The Vernon district is an example of the value of this, in that it is controlled by one watcr district���������������������������the White Valley Irrigation company. \"The old essentials, a good road, nearness-.to- shipping,,centres and proximity to markets has become more or less obsolete. The automobile Is of great service in the rural districts and it is claimed the Okanagan has more motor cars pro ratio than any section of Canada, with about 3,000 motors in the valley. \"The efficiency of centralized selling has been demonstrated and the residents of tlie valley have concentrated oh marketing problems. The concensus of opinion ��������������������������� is that the growers will become more successful as thcy permanently organize into big groups and inaugurate a market policy which will take care of the increasing tonnage. The trend is in that direction and a great impulse to trade has resulted. The Okanagan United Growers' the B, C. Growers, the Occidental Fruit company are a group of packing houses that handle 75 per cent, of the Okanagan output. This year they have enlarged their scope of work and have largely Increased their export trade. Shippers Form Organization \"The shippers of the valley have formed a traffic and credit association, a friendly organization with the chief aim to regulate shipments and extend the markets. This association is carrying on a campaign of advertising throughout Canada and plans to extend its advertising scheme throughout Europe, Asia and other world points, with a view to working up a greater export trade. This Work is carried on by each grower contributing a cent a box through their shipping organization to the trallic association. Such a movement is but a part of the \"Grown-in- Canada\" movement. Boosting British Columbia industries boosts thc output of Canada in general. \"Tho railway is co-operating to the uttermost with the shippers in handling the crop. There has been no shortage of labor in the valley and large numbers of women and girls aro employed in te canneries and as pickers. \"Frost proof storage buildings are becoming general through the valley with one in each centre. All of these buildings are controlled by locj'l organizations which, arc affiliated with the various shipping companies. Ship 5,700 Cars in Season \"It is estmated that there would be about 5,700 cars of fresh fruits and vegetables, not. including canned goods, cider, hay and livestock, sent out of the valley this season. This will include 3,800 cars of apples, 800 o cars of other fruits and 1,100 cars of vegetables. Eight hundred cars of o apples ar������������������ being shipped to Great Britain, and over 500 cars to the United States, while shipments are being prepared for the prairies, Eastern Canada, New Zealand, France, Norway, Sweden, South America and South Africa. \"Prices of winter apples, while lower than last year, will not mean much of a loss to the grower as there has been a considerable reduction from the high prices of last year in packing and the handling charges. The Jonathan apple is of a very fine quality, and the Macintosh Red is comng along well. There was an unusual crop of crab apples, sbm'e of the fruit being as large as ordin. ary sized apples. \"About twenty thousand acres of land is set out in fruit trees in the valley, with\" the ;,larger opart-of tlie acreage in apples. . In the past seven years there has not' been much acreage planted until this year when there has been a. marked activity in the making of new. orchards. There are, as well,' large areas set out in grains, vegetables and hay meadows. Output Increasing Rapidly \"The output of the valley, is increasing rapidly and the co-operative organizations are alive to the necessity of providing the necessary accommodation to take care of the crops. The great warehouse of the Okanagan United Growers was one of the many results of their efforts in this direction. Forty thousand boxes of fruit were being handled the day of our visit and the- capacity of the warehouse is 250,000 boxes. It is scientifically built so as to have the same temperature winter and .summer, without artificial heat. Over 8,000 packages of fruit were packed and=shippcd=in-one-day-^and=there-are. about 175,000 packagjes of produce stored at one time. Oriental help is not used and 75 per cent, of the workers are returned soldiers. The great extent of the building, the large quantities of produce and the many workers at full speed presented an animated scene and there was thc realization of what a great industry it is. Onc of the.girl packers made a record of 1SS boxes in oho day and the average pack is 150 boxes as one person's work. \"Tho canning industry has made rapid strides in the valley since it was started in 1917. The various canneries aro working at full speed with tomatoes and it is estimated that over 200,000 cases of canned goods will be shipped from the valley this season. The canneries of the valley have reached the highest stage of excellence in the canning of tomatoes. \"There is everywhere in the valley, orchards flushed with ripened fruit and gardens sumptuous with the bloom of late summer--much to make life worth while. In thesev warm, soft autumn days, blue overhead, russet underneath, the year is at its richest and everyone is enjoying the great out-of-dodrs.\" tern How true it is that one's own good breeding is security against other people's ill manners. .
