Charles Surrugue, oldest allied veteran of the World war, has beea dedicated iu tlie village of Auxerre, France, over which Surrueue ouce reigned as mayor. Although seventy-six when the war was declared, Surrugue volunteered iu 1914 ;tid served throughout the war as a bridge and road engineer. He was a captain in the war of 1870. T UK citizens of Grand Forks are beginning to wonder liol tlie Sous of Freedom in the Boundary and Koote-, nay districts. A short time ago the attorney general Issued .4 statement that tbe government lnteudedto lake drastic measures against against the members of this sect by holding the Doukhobor colonies responsible for their good behavior. This Is a very strange procedure. What would be thought of a law enforcement officer who went to the head of a large corporation and told him he would bold him responsible for the U|w-ablding conduct of the men under him? The attorney general's proclamation amounts to the same thing. It should be the business of tho law enforcement department of the province to fedret out the criminals, and to punish them, and not to hold anyone else responsible for their crimes. Since the attorney general Issued bis statement another tuo. rage 1 gainst decency has been perpetdated In this district, and nothing, apparently, has This has brought the tension between tiie cit izenry and! the Sons ot 'Freedom still closed to the breakng, and If another crime is committed by the latter it is liable lo snap asunder. PRODUCERS of Canadian maple syrup and faple sugar are requlded to label thier product to indicate the true contents of the container. The law, p;ksed bp the Dominion parliament, stipulates that the word "maple' may not be used on the pacuage except in the case of the pure and unadulterated product, and that no other words or phrases, pictures or trademarks, not even the traditional picture of tlie log cabin of a kind that sug gests maple products, will be allowed on con ti liners othsr than those holding the pure maple syrup or maple sugar. Canada's output of maple syrup and tuple sugar annually Is valutd t)t more than (0,000,000 by the Doflnion department of agriculture and about one-fli'cn is sold to the United States.

IF THE] the battle for tlie standardization of sliver grows much louder it will not be difficult to imagine that we have roiled back to 1896, when the William Jon- nigs Bryan made his t'Unous fight for the United States presidency on a sixteem-to-one platform—sixteen silver dollars for one gold dollar. That was a warm campaign. 'The writer happened to be ln El Paso, Texas, during the campaign, and as a speculative proposition he crossed Rio Grande a few days before election day and exchanged a few American silver dollars lor Mexican silver dollars, at the rate of two Mexican dollars for one American dollar.sVIr. Bryan lost out, and the Mexican dollars never rose above fifty cents in American currency. Coming down to the present period of our history, lt is hard to see how the cheapening of our currency could cure the economic ills of this or any other country. It would slfply mean that you would hi've to pay wo dollars an article that costs hut one now. And he silver mining Industry ln Canada ls not on a scale tra would solve he unemployment problem. It seems to be a case of grasping at a shtfiow. HEBE is a lot of good sense compressed into a few lines. It was sent to the Vancouver Sun from Hollywood on the 5th Inst. The more you i,naiyze the sentences the more truth you will find ln them: "We used to be talking and 'sloganing' about 'back to normalcy.' Well, that's right where we ire now and where we ere going to stay, so we might Juht as well get used to it.

Yet, until now, the vast barren region of south em Arabia, known 149 Ruba el Khali, "the abode of emp tineas," has defied the restless curiosity of man. The successor of a long line of travellers who sought to plumb Arabia Deserta's mysteries is Bertram Thomas, a young Engltshfan, who has just crossed the 9410 miles of unknown desert from the Arabian sea to the FersiiM gulf, and emerges with weird tales of booming sands and an unexpected salt lake, of legendary buried cities and tribesmen who live solely on camel's milk. Thomas has wiped out "the biggest blank spi|oe on the map," says a fellow explorer. And his achievement is the more remarkable fod being accomplished without the new implements bestowed on the exploder by the Machine agj. No airplane or dirigible or tractor car for Thomas—he was server by the camel, friend of explorers lured to wander of sandy wtptes since the day -Marco Polo.

ACTION IS NEEDED The lad fifty years huve seen a fremuudous deciease in the occurrence 01' cert.fin diseases. This has uut happened by chauce. lt is the direct of tho application of she kuowlcuc'u which has come to us concerning tbe cause aud manner of spread of these discuses.. ft is a simple explanation as to why we have been tjble to combat certain diseases successsully and why we have been uable to withstand the attack of others. Uy meaus of reseaicii aud investigation, we have learned enough about some diseases to enable us to deal with them. Vis.- remain 111 comparative ignorance, however, concerning certain others. It is uot to be supposed that knowledge in Itself brings results—fur from it. Results come only when the Knowledge we have is applied. When an opiduile of typhoid lever occurs, it is not due to lack of knowledge as to how such an epidemic could hu.ve been prevented. The epidemic occurs because the knowledge regarding _ the safeguarding ol water and milk supplies was uot put into practice. We are apt to sit back and think what a fine thing it is that we lcnoiv how to prevent uiplithc.;. .Ye say '0 ourselves what a relief it must be to purents to know that they no longer have to live in dread lest their i\ ild fall a victim to this disease. To our surprise, some day, it Is brought to ur attention that many children still suffer and that not a few few die from this disease—diphtheria—which we understood had become a thing of the past. Why is this so?It is not because we were misinformed. It Is quite true that diphtheri: | can be prevented. Tne explanation is that parents have not availed themselves of tho means for preventing—they have not had their chldren protected; they have left them defenceless. What we wish to say to parents is simply this. It li:,s been shown that, by the injection of diplitherit toxoid, yyour child can be immunized or protected against diptheiia Whether or not you take advantage of this kuowv eedge and have your child protected rests with you. No one elite is responsible; no one is going to huve it done for you. Your child cannot go and have it done for himself. It is a simple, si Ho and effctive way of protecting your child from a discover from its attacks, ease which not only takes tho lives of several hundred each year, but which damages the bodies of those who recover from its attacks Action is noeded. It is only by the action parents tht|t their children will be protected and diphtheria be made a rare disease.

What the Rural Weekly Press of B. C. Can Oder THEKfcure fifty-live regular weekly newspapers In Brlt- Ish Columbia. They are published in a widely scattered field In communities with population! of from 300 to 400 to one of 10,000. Sixteen are published In communities of less than 1000 population; fifteen in communities of 1000 to 2000 population; seven In communities of 4000 to 6000; four In communities over 5000 to 10,000. These weeklies appeal to 145,000 of British Columbia's population. The newa In these newspapers Is mostly all local, because that is what interests tbe readers-and the advertisements for the most part tell what local merchants are doing. The country editor knows the people he serves; they are farmers, lumbermen, miners, fishermen, prospectors, laborers, all. It Is estimated that the average farm family spends $2000 every year for things which are not necessary to raise crops. The total sum that is spent by farmers ln the United States for those things with which to live well is the appallng sum of thirteen billion dollars. Seventy-two per cent, of all automobiles sold go to people living in towns and comunlties of less than 5000 population. Using thc same proportionate figures to estimate thc buying power of the rural population of British Columbia served by (he weekly newspapers of thc province, and we have something like 70,000 automobiles purchased by residents of the province in towns and communities of less than 5000 population, and $6,000,000 spent every year by these rural families for things which are not necessary to raise (..ops.

"I how to the ruling of the house i such as It is," declared Mr. Neill j when he desumed speaking after tlie ; vote was registered.

A most slgnlflcatit feature of the present aotlvlty ln mining Is the way ln whloh many partially developed properties and also prospects whloh have been lying dormant, are now being developed. Substantial progress hae been made ln building main trunk motor roade through the provinces, while material aids are being given ln the working of mineral properties by assisting In the construction of brantoh roads to them. New trails are also continually being built to open up newly discovered mineralized areas for the prospector. The British Columbia Chamber of Mines has bean promoting the weUere ec the for the laet thirteen yean. The Chamber has on exhibition an interesting collection of tha great variety ot minerals mined in the province. There la also co-operation with the various fcpojpwU ore* associations of Brltlih Columbia.

For the year ended May 81, 1930, a total of $2,037,678 was spent In Canada for cut blooms showing that Canadians still have a strong penchant for saying it with flowers. As a barometer of business conditions in Nova Scotia it may be stated that in 1930 there were 129 new companies incorporated as compared with 118 for the previoue yea r. A consignment of 120,000 pounds of dried hake from Digby has been shipped by way of Yarmouth to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and Nova Scotlan exporters believe this may be the beginning of a steady trade in this line.

"It ia not necessary to take the writer's word for It Ask any politician whom you know. He will tell you the truth. Ask any representative of the interests—big city bankers, for instance, or presidents of great railroad or Industrial corporation. 11 "The politician, if he is above peanut sise, will tell'you that he worries little about what the city papers say; but let even half a dozen country weeklies In his home state or district open on him, and he pulls down the lid of his desk at the state capital and takes the next train lume te see what it is he has done lo make the farmer sore. "The Big Businessman, if he Is big enough to be entitled to the designation, will tell you that his business is goid or bad depending on how the country people like the way it is run. and that what those country people are thinking he finds out by read ng or having others read far him, what the country papers are saying."

Interesting Links in Canadian History ■ 'During early^ ploiieer' times in Can ada the' Wood-using industries were represented by the labor of ndividu al wood-workers, it'' Consisted chiefly of house and building construction and the manufacture' by band of fur- ture and vehicles, carried on in farm buildings and small Workshops. Only n the ctjee of shipbuilding was there anything approaching the modern factory systef where workers at the same trade are concentrated ln large establishments. The shipbuilding ln Canada was done toy' Poht-Grave,whb built two Vessels' at Tort Rdyiil in 1606, when le bel eved himself to have boen de- .erted by de Mouts.
