THURSDAY, AUGUST 15. 1918.���4 PAGES f 1.50 Per Annum Lady Evangelist Visits Kelowna Addresses Large Gatherings in Baptist Church A visitor who excited considerable interest in town during the past few days was Mrs. Frances L. Neth, a well-known evangelist who is in charge of the Christian Institute, Vancouver, a body which makea a special study of Bible prophecy and the interpretation of Scriptural teaching. She is now touring the Okanagan Valley and commencing laat Thursday has addressed large gathetinga in the Baptist church. Possessing a pleasing personality and exceptionally eloquent delivery, Mr. Neth has attracted increasingly interested audiences night' after night. She waa to/ eight years wiih the famous Dr. R. A. Torrey in the Los Angeles Institute. The meetings opened last Thursday evening, Mrs. Neth speaking twice on weekdays and three timea on the Sunday. Referring to the trend of the times she said that God had a great plan for thia world and had worked accordingly ever since the day of Adam. We ourselves were in what is known as the Day of Grace, and from the signs of the times this Grace Day was fast approaching its winding up. \" It is most evident,\" contended Mrs. Neth, \" from a casual reading of 2 Tim. 2, 1-5, that the perilous times, the last days are right now upon ua. We could see the covetous, hear the boasters, and everyone knew who was the notorious truce - breaker who dabbled in \"scraps of paper.\" All these ars.1 other signs, she believed, foretold the end of this dispensation. The afternoon meetings were devoted to the instruction of new converts. On Sunday the church waa crowded when Mrs. Neth dealt with the \"Second Coming of Christ, the next great event.\" The world had aeen nothing in all its history so terrible as this present world-war, and nothing ao drastic in its swift revolutions in national life and custom. She thought she could see ahead into a future uniform world governed from one centre. The jews once again resident in their own beloved Palestine now so providentially evacuated by the intolerant Turk, According to Scripture warning, at the very inception of thia 'world federation' the Saviour would appear auddenly and take the Church out of the world unto Himself. \" Do we see anything that hints at this happening to-day > \" asked Mrs. Neth. \" Yes, the very lineaments of prophecy are being traced out to-day and events are tumbling over each other in their haste to fulfil the never-failing plan ot God.\" By special request Mrs. Neth remained over two extra evenings and addressed eager audiences, and many expressions of thanks and gratitude were tendered upon her departure. A social picnic of interested friends was held in the park on Tuesday afternoon in honor ot Mrs. Neth's visit to Kelowna. The pastor, Mr. Bennett, reports that the visible results are excellent, a number have been converted, backslidden Christiana have -been helped back to the path of Christ- duty, and altogether renewed interest in the Bible phophecies has been aroused in many mihda. Mr. R. P. Hughes was a passenger to Olds, Alts., yesterday. Rutland News �� Ifreat oar owa eoiresnonaeatl. Miss Torrance, of Vancouver, is visiting Mrs. W. Gay. The Girls' Enterprise Club met on Tuesday at the home of the president, Miss Monford. Mrs. Blenksrn and family are leaving tomorrow for their home in Kamloops, after (pending a holiday of six weeks at Mrs. S. J. Craig's ranch. At the Kelov/na Women's Institute flower show there was a special display of exquisite sweet peas grown in Rutland by the Rev. Griffiths. The specimens of Re yal Purple Spencer, Wedgewood Blue and Elfrida Pearaon i were greatly admired. Kamloops buainess men have been notified by the B.C. Telephone Co., who operate the telephone system in that town, that a raiae of $1 per month per 'phone will be made, starting with this month. A dividend at the rate of five per annum for the first half of thia vear has been declared by the Okanagan Telephone Company. The company haa been empowered by the provincial government, from which it holds its charter, to make certain increases in the telephone rates, adjudged necessary to meet the increased cost of operation and continue to give efficient service. Meeting to Present Medals to S.O.S. Boys A public meeting is being arranged for Saturday night, Auguat 24th, for the presentation of badgea to \" S.O.S.\" boys. The Hon. Dr. McLean, minister of education has been asked to be present. Full particulars will appear in next week's paper. o ��� ' -' ��� Canada is to send a force of 4,000 men to join the international army in Russia. British airmen brought down a German Zeppelin on Monday in flames off the east English coast. The machine was one of the largest and newest of this type of oircraft. The anti-Bolsheviki movement in Russia is growing rapidly, the Bolsheviki Soviet organization having virtually gone to pieces. The important town of Mont Didier, which was approximately at the apex of the German salient aouth of the Somme, has been captured by the Allies. Since the. beginning of the Allied counter offensive on July 18 the Allies have taken more than 70,000 prisoners and more than one thousand guns, the Echo de Paris states. In addition it estimates that more than 10,000 machine guna have been captured from the enemy. The Austrians are reported moving an immense amount of material and great numbers of troops in the direction of Italy and are expected soon to attempt another offensive on the Italian front. Recruits to the number of 13,941 were secured for the Canadian Expeditionary Force in Canada, the United States and EngLind during the month of July, according to the official statement of the militia department. During the same period, the total wastage waa 4222, leaving a net gaits for the nionth of 9715 men. Enlistments in the Canadian Expeditionary Force since the beginning ot the war have reached a total of 566,920. General Kikiao Otan, one of Japan's most distinguished soldiers has been chosen to command the Japanese section and will be the ranking officer of the American and allied expedition in Siberia. Gen. Otana in effect will be commander-in-chief of the combined forces, with the consent of the various governments' participating. The general, who is 63 yeara old, waa a staff officer during the Chi no- Japanese war and commanded a brigade in the Russo-Japanese war. When the Japanese entered the. world war he waa aasigned to the forces which captured the German colony of Tsing-tau. Canneries Wili Soon Be in Full Swing Big Tomato Crop is Ripening Up Fast The tomato crop has been maturing verv fast lately, and in all pro. bability the different canneries will all be running full blast inside of a week or ten days. The B. C. Evaporators (Kelowna Packers, Ltd.) have already a large enough supply of ripe tomatoes delivered and in sight to warrant the announcement that will commence operations Monday. They are unxious to secure all thejocal help possible by that time, especially women and girla for peeling, and are also bringing in about 80 girls from the coast, whd are expected to arrive within the next few days. The Casorso rooms which were rented for their accommodation have been put into shape and all arrangements made for boarding them. The canning plant has all been installed in the reconstructed B. C. Growers building, leaving the evaporating plant undisturbed. By this means it will be possible at the end of the tomato season to switch over in a few days to vegetable evaporating which will likely be continued through the winter months. The Occidental cannery has been running for the past five or six weeks on soft fruits. Cherries, finished some time ago, were a big pack, and ve.y fine fruit. Apricots, plums and peaches will occupy the plant for a few days yet,\" when the tomatoes will be taken up and all possible help secured to put up a' big pack. Just how long the tomato canning will last of course depends upon the weather, but with anything like favorable conditions the prospects at the present look extremely good. The recent rains helped a good deal, and will pu> weight into tha fruit. When the tomatoes are disposed ofthe Occidental expect to switch to canning apples, thus lengthening out the season for the operatora until well into December. The Western Canners, Ltd , are also preparing to open up, and in fact have already received a large quantity of tomatoes. The plant has been thoroughly reorganized, and n big output is expected this year. The Orchard City Evaporator is still continuing the work of fruit crystallization, and by (he time the apple season opens a large stock of ciystallized cherries, apricots and peaches will have been manufactured. As the season progresses evidence is abundant that the demand for thia class . of goods will be enormous this year. Mr. Calder also expects to turn out a greatly increased pack of apple rings this year, having enlarged his plant in aeveral ways. It might be as well to point out that this year in view of lhe great desire to conserve food supplies of all kinds, culls and windfalls should be�� carefully picked up for the evaporator. Waste is not to be tolerated this year. Mrs. Chas. Quinn returned to Kelowna yesterday. Percy Bird is a visitor this week from the coast. Mr. and Mrs. Stiell left for Victoria yesterday. Miss Babbit, of Summerland, is a guest this week of Mrs. Ambler. Anglican service will be held at East Kelowna Sunday next at 3 o'clock. Mrs. Howell, Miss Hollinsworth and Mr. Duncan, of Vancouver, are staying this week with Dr. and Mrs. Telford. Lieut. Bruce Cash, 102nd Regiment, is to take over the duties of Quartermaster at Vernon Internment Camp, in place of Hon. Capt. H. A. Langford. The next list ot subscribers to the Canadian Patriotic Fund will be published immediately after the end of this month. Will those in arrear kindly hand in their' subscriptions to the secretary as soon as possible, Rutland Takes Dp Manual Training Will Join Kelowna in Using Instructor's Services Manual training as a achool subject is now out of the experimental etp.ge so far aa the Okanagan district is concerned, and it is extremely likely that within a short time even the smaller rural schools will all be equipped for this work. Seveial schools are coming into line thia year, and the number of teachers is b-ing increased. Up to thc present Kelowna and Penticton have been sharing in the services of an instructor, but following plans which have been made during the past week or two by Mr. John Kyle the piovincial director of technical education, thia arrangement is to be discontinued. The Rutland school board having decided to obtain the necessaiy equipment, Mr. Mitchell, the instructor, wilt wilh the opening of the new term in September, adopt a schedule which will allow him to divide his time between Kelowna and Rutland. Several of the other district schools were considering the adoption of manual training classes but financial and other reasons have prevented the completion of arrangements in time for this year. Minister of Agriculture Pays Kelowna a Visit Is Sizing Up Agricultural Conditions in Valley The Hon. E. D. Barrow, minister of agriculture, paid a visit to Kelowna last Thursday in the course of a tour of the Okanagan valley, mainly undertaken for the purpose ot getling acquainted with the working of the department'a organization in thia part of tbe country and as a practical farmer in sizing up conditions generally. While at Vernon Mr. Barrow paid a visit to the Coldsteam ranch which the Land Settlement Board has recommended the government to purchase at a price of $900,000 for returned soldiers. He waa accompanied by Dr. K. C. MacDonald, M.L.A., F R. E. DeHart and Ben Hoy. From Kelowna the hon. minister passed over by ferry and motored down to Summerland, accompanied by Mr. L. V. Rogers. Demand Increase in Allowance Soldieis' wives and dependents of Winnipeg are atarting a nationwide movement demanding that they receive an allowance of $100 a month instead of the $42, which ia now given them. This was the decision reached at a mas-meeting held oniFriday afternoon in the Labor Temple at which more than 300 wivea and dependents of soldiers attended. The Tradea and Labor forces of Winnipeg declare that they will back them up to tbe limit and will intereat the whole of organized labor of Canada in this much-needed increase in the allowance paid by the government to the aoldiera' dependents.

By Command, Under-Secretary of Stare SS= PAOK TWO KELOWNA RECORD Thursday, August 15th, 1918 KELOWNK RECORD Publisher, the directions of responsibility and discipline. In the public school, authority and responsibility are put upon the prefects to maintain order and tone among the rest of the boys. Obedience to the authority of the older boy is demanded on the part of the junior as a point of discipline. The practice of responsible authority and obedience to it among the boys is carried out in the scout movement through the patrol system, but it is on lines rather more in accordance with the spirit of the age than the prefect system .of the public school. In the prefect system authority is deputed by the masters to the head boys. It is merely the delegation of autocratic rule and while it puis the junior boy in his place (not a bad thing at times), it is in no sense democratic. It does not give the boy freedom of action, except at the risk of punishment if he takes the line that does not pleirae his superior. Whereaa in the patrol system, where properly canied out the leader is responsible for the success of his patrol whether in its games or in its efficiency, and the scouts are impelled to carry out the leaders instructions through their desire for their palrol to excel, It is an expression of their keenness and \"esprit de corps\" by doing. In other words it is \"Playing the game.\" The leader realizes on his part that to' gain . success he has to foster this spirit by tact,and discrimination and by appealing to the human side In the Court of Honour (again if properly run) the voice of the boys is heard and the rules are made for their own guidance by the boya themselves. Similarly in the) patrol leaders' conference (again where properly managed) the ideals and aims of the movement are considered and the steps to them'discussrd among the boys themselves, so that they become possessed of a wider and less selfish outlook in realizing the cons, as well as the pros, of the question, which previously may have had but one side for them. Thus the patrol becomes a practical school of self-government.\" a ' a a We are wondering how many of you have read the wonderful Pbooss 217 Bad 216 'GRANDVIEW' Okanagan Centre Summer boarders received.

He was for several years employed with Mr. W. Haug, and in every way a popular young man. Sir,���Just a gentle zephyr from an old Kelownaite now slogging away on one of the eastern fronts. Being a lucky recipient every week of the \" Record\" through its medium am able to follow closely and keep well informed of events, 6tc, in and around the orchard cily. I observe from time to time Kelowna lads returning from the western front pending their discharges through wounds and I often think what lucky fellows��� in some respects. But alas, there are some who have made the supreme sacrifice and whose faces we sadly miss. Comparing my own experiences I must admit that up to the present have been extremely lucky, seeing that I journeyed overseas to join up just after the outbreak of war. A lew weeks later was shipped out to Gibraltar for a short period thence proceeding to that land of mystery, Er��ppt, where 1 was enabled whilst in the vicinity of Cairo to visit the sphinx, pyramids, tombs and some of the tamous mosques, all highly interesting to anyone familial with Biblical history. After several months on the desert towards Tripoli rounding up the hostile Bedouin and Senussi, who had covetous eyes on Alexandria and other Nile cities, eventually putting the \"kibosh\" on them, we were shipped to the most important theatre of war, France. After fifteen months there, going through some of the bitterest fighting, including the battles of Somme and Airaa, eventually getting wounded trying to head one ot Fritz's 5.9s, resulting in losing a slice out of my nose. However, after recuperating for a few months in dear old Blighty was destined to see even a new front and here I find myself in Macedonia endeavoring to keep King Tino quiet and making things lively for the wily Bulgar. So it seems that 1 am to see the whole thing through to a finish providing my luck adheres and that I am able to sidestep the \"dead homers.\" Wonder if there are any other Kelowna men serving who can approach a Cook's tour similar to thia one. Have tried hard to transfer to Lt.-Col. W. H. Moodie's battn. (1st Can. Pioneers), but through some inexplicable reason it failed,so am still serving with the famous Die- hards���Middlesex Regt. However, after all the bashing and battering about we are all feeling optimistic and looking forward to an early and successful termination of hostilities. Am keenly anticipating an early retum to the peaceful environs of Kelowna and renewal of old acquaintances. Have happened across several Kelowna boys in France and England. Would like to give a more detailed narrative of mv experiences whilst travelling under eastern skies, but must have regard for the poor censor, so will conclude, wishing the \" Record\" every success. Yours sincerely, Pte. BILLY SCHOLL. story of the blocade of Zeebrugge anrl Ostend by the British navy, and the last plunge of the old battleship the \"Vindictive\" which now lies at the bottom of the entrance to Ostend. We had an opportunity recently of reading a little pamphlet giving the story written under the non-de- plume of \"Keble Howard\" whose real name is J. Keble Bell, Second Lieutenant, R.A.F., and we ahall be glad to hand the little book on to anyone who might care to read it. He writes that \"there ia nothing more gallant nor successful ���there could be nothing more gallant nor successful in the annals of the British navy. Sailors believe that a ship has a soul. In the case of the \"Vindictive\" at any rate, this is true, for the soul of that noble vessel will live in the British navy so long as the white ensign patrols the, oceans to preserve the peace of the world.\" ��� Telling of the wonderful spirit of the men, an officer relates the following, more expressive, we think, than a volume of high-sound, ing phrases. He says that the men when at the blockade of Zeebrugge on returning to the \"Vindictive,' from the mole on which they had landed, would insist upon bringing back their comrades with them whether dead or alive. In the officer's own words:���\" I'll tell you one thing, the men were great. 1 saw one chap come staggering on board with a pal in his arms; whether the pal was alive or dead I could not say and I doubt whether he could but I heard him murmur to him: \" I wouldn't leave yer Bill I Did you think I would ?\" MNK()FMQNTREAL ESTABLISHED OVER ISO YEARS Victory Bonds Victory Bonds, other securities and important papers should be kept Safe from fire and burglary.

A Discovery. A merchant in a Canadian city once made a discovery. He had purchased some goods that did not turn out as he thought they would. Instead of advertising \"Enormous Bargains\" he simply said, \"I bought them to sell at $10.00, but they are not worth it; in fact I cannot recommend them at all, but you will find them worth $4.00.\" He sold them all and made some new customers, who were convinced of his sincerity.
