Gaidar, Copeland, Taylor, and Thompson attended the meeting ol the oounoil on Friday last. The following correspondence was read: A letter from Messrs, pennon. Den- eon, ib Co., ot Vancouver, requesting a copy of .the city's Trade License, Bylaw regulating the sale of goods direct to customers by commercial travellers. The olerk was requested to inform tho applicant* that the city had no spare copies of the by-law on hand. The city solicitor of Salmon Aim asked for information as to the rules under whioh the oity supplied water and electric light to residents outside the oity. The Gamewell Fire Alarm Telegraph Co., of Seattle, wrote to inform the council of the intended visit of tiioir representative to Kelowna with a view to famishing an estimate of the on.it of installing a fire alarm system here. Same correspondence was. also dealt With relating to the sale nf the city's debeOtura*. An announcement was made that the Conference of representatives of Canadian Municipalities would be held at Saskatoon on July 15th, If n, and , 17th next. The authorities of - tha provincial Board of Health informed the oity that in future all water used for local consumption would have to fa* analysed twice a year, and that tha last examination was quit* satisfactory. Ald.C opeland urged the nooesaity of an extension oi' the street watering limits, and proposed the introduction of a by-law levying rates from tbe residents oi the streets oonoernod. He suggested that the extansi-.ns shm-'d include tb* following: l'ark Avenue Water Street, from tlie Farmers' Exchange to Causton Avenue Pendozi Street to the city limits southwgrd Ethel and Hiohter Streets, from Bernard Avenue to the Creek Ellis Street, from Harvey Avenue to Cawston Avenue Harvey and Eli Avonoae Lawrenoe Avenue from wbbot t Street to Pendozi Street. It was contended that watering kept the roads in good condition, though the extra work would necessitate the expenditure of J6O0 for an additional sprinkler. Aid. Copeland reminded th* eounoil of the daogerous position of th* tight pole at tbe comer of Bernard Avon. and the government road. It was decided to ask the engineer to make a report on the best way of changing the position of the pais without causing the wires to overhang private property. Tne Mayor drew the council's attention to the excessive speed at whioh motorists proceed withio the oity especially along I'ondozi Street. Aid. Calder supported the complaint, and the Chief of Polio* was asked if ha oould do anything to modify tha danger to tbe public. He replied that the only way to secure eonviotlons against tbe offenders was te time them, and for thia he would require an assistant. He was given full instructions to every legitimate means that ho oould to roduoo th* evil.

A resolution was unanimously passed that the Exchange should go into voluntary liquidation, and that the real estate, buildingB, and plant in Kelowna be turned over to the new oonoern for 1 ��28,000. Thin figure had limn arrived at after considerable' disoussion, and the aBBistanoe of independent arbitrators. Before the meeting, took up 'the question of the new association, a hearty vote ot thanks, proposed by | Dr. Wuusborough .loneB and seconded by Mr. G, Si Smith, wob passed to tlie board of direotors. In maving tho resolution, Br. Jones said that tho Kxchangc hud been going through trying times lately, but heiwas sure there was no one present but believed that the directors had' worked hard apd done their best in the interest of the .share-holders. Io replying the chairman, Mr. Ilobson, agreed that they had had -pretty I strenuoua times of late, and had put in a great deal of time for, he was afraid, very little thanks. Hs wished the new association every success. The assembly then resolved itself into a meeting of the new organization, but bey nnd deciding to adopt tho name of '"The Kelowna Growers' Ex- ;e" very little business was transacted owing to the Articles of Association having gone astray. New Board of Trade Offices Completed The Kelowna Board of (tide can at last boast the. possession of handsome nnd convenient promises of tneir own the new building whioh was made possible by the timely concession of a site at; a nominal rental from the 0.

He' was met at the wharf by Mr. P. Edmund Corby, who was for several years his Lordship's architect on hia estates in Northamptonshire, England. After a short stay the party crossed the lake to Westbank and continued the journey south. The Marquis, who was through the valley last year, expressed himself delighted with Kelowna and considered it by far the best place in the whole Okanagan. Can.

C. held sessions in Kelowna Mondav and Tuesday of this week. The personnel of the commission has been well chosen and the result is a body of men, all practical agriculturalists in aome branch or oilier, and keen men of business besides. The chairman is W. H. Hayward M.P.P. fnr Duncan and managing director of the Cowichan Creamery Co., Vancouver Island, a cooperative concern which ia doing n great serviee to the dairy farmers and poultry men of that district. The rest are Mr. Alex Lucas, M.P.P., Vancouver; S. Shannon, Cloverdale; W. Duncan, Comox ; J. J. Campbell, Nelsnii; J. Kidaton, Vernon; and llio secretary, C. B. CluisleRseii, Victoria. The party arrived Monday noon bv auto from Vernon and a session wns commenced at 2 o'clock. Mr. Lionel E. Taylor, manager of the Bankhead Orchard Co. was first one to give evidence. AH the witnesses were duly sworn and their evidence carefully noted by the official stenographer for inclusion in the voluminous report which the commission will present to the government at the conclusion of their itinerary. Mr. Taylor gave n very lucid and detailed account of the woik being done by the British government for the benefit of agriculture iu the Transvaal, where Mr. Taj lor held in appointment for a number of years. He compared the system prevailing there with the methods of the government of British Columbia, rather to the advantage of the former. He considered that in the Transvnal the government were employing more highly salaried experts and consequently were able to draw upon the best men from the United Slatcc, Canada and other dountties. Heads of departments in the Transvaal were paid as much as $5000 per year. The B. C. Government were satisfied with young men fres1 from college with only a smattering of knowledge and experience. He thought the government here should spend ten times as much as they are doing on agriculture, and not be content with the comparatively spasmodic efforts which they were making to deal with the farmers' problems. Mr. W. R. Pooley was also severe upon the inefficiency ofthe present govermentagricultua! staff. Farmers, he said, had no confidence in the inspectors sent aronnd because the results they arrived at were contradictory and often' ri- diculuous. He instanced an experience of his own where he had not sprayed because he thought it unnecessary. A government inspector had been through the orchard and had cettified that it was absolutely clean, yet he had reproved him for not spraying. This seemed ridiculous. He did not think the provincial staff was well organized and there was considerable amount of overlaping. He thought it would be a Rood idea if registers were kept of all orchards and records kept regarding inspections and general conditions, and the means taken to control pests. Mr. J. L. Pridham also addressed the commissioners, complaining amongst other matters of the assessment of farm lands adjacent to the city for school taxes. Tuesday's meetings were held in the new Board of Trade building which, though not quite completed was in such shape that the large room could be used. An address of welcome was delivered bv the Mayor, J. W. Jones, who commented upon the fact that that was the first meeting of any kind to be held in the new Board of Trade offices, and he felt thnt the city was to be congratulated upon the possession of such handsome quarters. Referring to the commissioners be seid he was glad to hear that they were all practical and experienced men, and' he was sure that the result of their enquiries would have an important .bearing on the future of the farming industry in B. C. He hoped .they would have time to make a short tour of inspection around the district, and see for themselves something of the progress and development which was going on: The chairman, in replying, said this was his fourth trip through, and he certainly agreed that there was no sign of going backwards. He was agreeably surprised to see the great areas of land planted in trees which were not there on his last visit. Speaking of the object of the commission, he said that the province of British Columbia' was at present importing over thirty million dollars worth of (arm produce which should be raised at home. It was so much money going out which ought to be retained and constituted a very serious question. It was their endeavor as a commission to find out something of ihe conditions of agriculture in the various districts, wilh a view, if possible, to reduce this great outflow of money by fostering agriculture at home. Mr. Leopold Hayes, secretary of the Western Canners, Ltd., gave an account of the rapid growth of the Kelowna Canning Co., which developed later into the Western Canners, Ltd., with branches at different points on the lake. In 1910 they had paid out in wages $9,870. Last year the payroll had amounted to $28,506, and $25,998 had been paid to farmers for fruits and vegetables. Tomatoes formed by far the principal product handled wilh peaches next. Small fruits such as' strawberries, etc., were comparatively scarce, the reason for which being the difficulty of obtaining labor for picking. The labor question in fact was the chief difficulty encountered both bv the farmers and the cannery. Reference was made to the experiment of bringing in girls from thc coast to work in the cannery. Some fifty or sixty had been obtained in this way, many of whom had re-1 mained in the disttict, obtaining situations as household helps or in the tobacco factory. A boarding house had been built for the accommodation of the girls, and a charge of $15 per month made for board. This had proved too small a sum, however, and the company had lost on the transaction. Mr. R. T. Heselwood had prepared his evidence in manuscript form, which he read before the commissioners. He dealt with several phases of the fruit industry but principally with irrigation, suggesting that reform might be made by the government in the direction of: (I) Better classification of irrigable lands. (2) Better distribution of water by irrigation companies. (3) Better means of settling disputes between companies and private owners regarding the putting in of ditches, arid compensation for damage done. Mr. J. E. Reekie gave evidence of the working of the Central Selling Agency, of which he is president, and which, he said, should have been formed at least two months ago. He described in detail the aims and objects of the Agency and the plans on which it was to be conducted. He referred to the recent meeting at which it was decided to wind up the affairs of the Kelown r Farmers' Exchange and to obtain the co-operation of local fruit producers under the name of the Kelowna Growers Union, details of which are given elsewhere. The witness was asked how many companies were working in competition with the Central Selling Agency, to which he replied: Four. He contended, however, that the Agency would be able to get quicker returns to the growers for their produce. It was anticipated that the local association would handle about 65 per cent, of the output from the Kelowna district this yer. The commission then adjourned for luncheon and the session was resumed at 2 p.m., when Mr. W. Adams appeared and gave evidence of the work carried on bv the Central Okanngan Lands Co. Mr. Adams described in detail the work of the company together with their plant, irrigation system, acreage, term of operation and prospects offered to settlers. Bank of Commerce Start Fine New Block Building operations are to be own- moncod immediately on the new premises of the Canadian Bank ol Commerce which are to be erected on the main street next to the Pglaee Hotel. The building superintendent lor the Bank, Mr. A. D. HaoLean, is In town making arrangements for th* work of excavating nod the driving of tha piles upon whioh the foundations ot the building will rest. He is accompanied by Mr., J. W. Grey, who will be tore- man of construction. The plans, which we have had the pleasure of inspecting, show designs for a handsome two-storey building, having a frontage of thirty-six and a half feet, and a depth of about forty feet. The front elevation gives promise, of an imposing edifice which will add considerably to the appearance of the main street. The material I* to be pressed brick with a generous ornamentation of stone. The main build ing will stand back from th* sidewalk with a projecting porch of neat design. The interior arrangement provides every up-to-date convenlenoe both for tlie public and the staff. The interior finish and the fittings will all be of oak, the fittings being imported from the east. The upper floor is divided into bed and Bitting rooms for the staff. Below is a full basement with furnaee for heating. The dressed stone and steel to be used in the oonstruoion are' already on their way from Winnipeg, and It is expected that the building will be ready for occupation by ubout new year. The business of the Bank of Commerce has been steadily increasing in Kelowna, and the provision of these fine premises will no doubt give a still further impetus to the extensive connection which is being established. Three hold-up men, sentenoed to a term of seven years in the pen made a daring escape from the provincial gaol at Kamloops last Monday. They picked the look of the oanienter's shop and forced their way throdgh the wall whioh is qf wood. The alarm woe given, Sod the police, assisted by the B.C. Horse, scoured th* surrounding count ry, the man being eventually , recaptured. Messrs. F. R. E. DeHart, Henry Birch, D. McLennan and S. T. Elliott were members of the jury in the Indian murder case at' Vernon this week. Mrs. H. G. Bowser will receive at the home of her mother Mrs. J. B. Brown, Bernard avenue, Friday afternoon and evening June 13th. In connection with thc Kelowna Poultry Association a lecture on Poultry will be given by Mr. H. D. Reid, government lecturer in the Sons of England room on Saturday, June 7th, at 2 p.m. All interested in poultry are cordially invited. E. L. Ward, Secretary. The Rev. D. J. Welsh will pre- sent at the Young People's Society of the Baptist church some eighty views of the Grand Ligne mission work in Quebec. A cordial invitation is given to all. The Kelowna baseball team met their firat defeat at Vernon last Thursday with a score of 6-2. Mr. Bulman was called upon to give hia opinion on the chances of success of the scheme of co-operation. He estimated that the Farmers'Exchange had handled about 60 per cent, of the local crop, being the output of about 95 per cent, of the growers of the district. Farmers, he said, seldom had a proper amount of capital before commencing to produce their commodities and therefore always wanted prompt returns for their work. Discussing the taking over of the water systems of the neighbourhood he maintained that a board ought to be appointed to judge water records and to value them and by that means a fair price might be placed upon the systems. He thought the companies would be willing enough to sell out The commission then adjourned and left for Penticton on the boat shortly after. , Rutland News (from our own correependent) Mr. H. D. Riggs will take charge of the Presbyterian service next Sunday morning. A meeting was held, fast Thursday by the parishioners of the Anglican church. The Rev. Thomas Greene and Mr. L. Taylor attended. A report waa received from Mr. Johnson and arrangements were made for future services. The school trustees would like to remind the ratepayers that school taxes are subject to a discount of 10 per cent, if paid before end of this month. The receipt of a good-sized amount would greatly assist them financially in closing up the school year.

H. Hayward, M.P.P.. of Duncan, managing director of the now well-known Cowichan Creamery Co., was in town this week as chairman of the Agricultural Commission, and in the course of a few minutes' conversation he spoke in an interesting way of the work of that institution. The creamery had turned out during the past year 148,000 pounds of butter, 154,000 dozen eggs, and 40,000 pounds of dressed poultry. They had,moreover, brought into the district over $70,000 worth of grain and other feed for poultrymen and farmers. The creamery was purely a cooperative institution. Speaking of his trip through the valley, he aaid he would advise the farmers to go in more for mixed farming, and referred to the above figures as showing what 'could be accomplished in that direction- Judging from his observations in travelling through the district he considered that there was every reason to be optimistic about the future of the valley. " I have," he said, "not seen anything better than what you have here in Kelowna. What is wanted is co-operation to produce the best results." Will not the Central Selling Agency scheme solve many of the difficulties we are under at present ? Mr. Hayward was asked. " I most certainly think it will," he replied. " It will tend to regulate the distribution of the fruit, which, of course, is the fundamental principle of organization."

The fact that over 150,000 "CALORICS" are in daily use proves this assertion. Instead ef the usual cooking drudgery the housewife confines her attention to matters more congenial. You cannot realise the great saving of labour in using this truly remarkable cookstove. The saving of fuel alone pays for the " CALORIC " in a short time. We do not hesitate in stating that Once Used the " CALORIC" is never cast aside. Its advantages over the hot gas stove or range are manifold. Remember there is NO HEAT, NO ATTENTION after the food is placed in the receptacle, and no dirt. We claim all these points of vantage and our salesman will gladly send a "CALORIC to your home for free trial. You are under no obligation whatsoever to purchase. We are desirous, that you prove to yourself what we claim. The new " CALORIC " has made a great stride forward in the evolution of Fireless Cooking, which has literally perfected this art, not alone in the Boiling, Steaming and Stewing features, but it has rendered absolutely possible BAKING and ROASTING as well. One of a number of guaranteed bona-fide letters of appreciation Washington, D.C. Gentlemen,��� " We have used a ' CALORIC' COOKSTOVE for one year, and it is used daily.

Dear Sir:��� Allow me to enter a public protest against the two-faced profession of loyalty made by.feome members of the British Empire who decorate the city with large flags, etc., on a public holiday like May 24th (Victoria Day), and yet who cannot so much as raise a note of applause when a portrait of the King appears before a public gathering on the occasion of His Majesty's birthday. A large portrait of the King was thrown upon the screen at Dreamland before a large audience on the day observed as the King's birthday and the National Anthem was played, but the audience was unmoved and re mained seated without any exhibition of approbation whatever, or evidence that the tune was French Russian, German, Turk, Chinese or British National Anthem. People are ready enough to squeal out " The Maple Leaf For Ever," when driven to it, but when " God Save the King" is played at the end of a theatrical performance the main object of the audience is to hurry away as quickly as possible. It would appear that there is no respect for the King in this country & " Rule Britannia " is almost unheard of. Is not Britannia largely responsible for European peace at this moment? Why should Americans surpass us Canadians in outward display of patriotism. One is quite willing to accept Canadian professions of loyalty but would like to see some outward manifestations besides flag waving. Such matters as standing erect and doffing one's hat may seem small but thev act as valuable reminders as well as a proof of that patriotism which we all profess to possess. I may quote iu conclusion the disgraceful want of enthusiasm shown when the Duke of Connaught visited this city in spite of press reminders urging our nation to wake up and cheer as if we meant it. The cold welcome displayed must have been one oi the many things which made H. R. H. ao glad to leave for England despite his proposed return. I have ascertained that in cinematograph theatres in England, the King is never shown in a moving picture without receiving hearty applause. Yours truly, CANADIAN. Danger of Impure Ice Leon Ave., June 4, '13 Editor Kelowna Record, Dear Sir,���With the arrival of the hot weather comes the increased consumption of ice, and seeing that most epidemics of typhoid during the summer are traceable to impure ice, considerable caution is necessary in the use of the commodity. It is a well-known fact that much of the ice in use in Kelowna is taken from the sloughs and stagnant pools adjoining the Lake, which are the repository of all kinds of decaying rubbish, dead dogs, and putrid matters. It is time that the medical authot- ities supervised the sale of ice taken from such polluted sources, and insisted upon only pure ice being used in hotels, cafes, etc., as the public are too careless to enquire the source of the ice they use. Yours truly, WILFRED FRANCIS.

Richmond's ready-to-wear store proposes to clear out the balance of the Lequime Bros, stock this month as their store is to undergo many alterations. School opened again Monday after an interval rf two weeks caused by a troublesome epidemic of measles. Tuesday, however, was a holiday for the King's birthday. Keep Tuesday evening, June 17 free for the garden party and strawberry festival to be held by the Presbyterian Ladies' Aid at the home of Mrs. R. F. Morrison on Harvey Ave. The Tuesday holiday for the King's Birthday was not generally observed in town, the stores remained open but there was very little doing and the main street hnd a deserted holiday air about it. Perhaps this wns due to the large crowd which made the trip to Vernon to see the baseball match. The W.C.T.U. will hold a meet- ing at the home of Mrs. Allan Wilson on Tuesday, June I Oth. A missionary program will be rendered by the members. The offering will be in aid of the World Missionary Fund, and n large attendance is requested. Friends are always welcome. The opening of the new church of St. Michael and All Angel's hns been fixed for Sunday, June 15th. It was announced last Sunday that in all probability next week's service would be the last in the old church. Bishop de Pencier will perform the opening ceremony and also hold a confirmation service. At the Opera House on Friday a two-reel drama called " The Modern Prodigal," will be shown. The usual adjectives hardly describe this picture. It is one of surpassing interest to the average mortal. It is one that runs the whole gnmut of human emotions, showing the triump of goodness and the final return of a lost soul to the paths of righteousness. On Satur- d nyltve full reels will be shown instead of lhe usual four. The " Moosomin World-Spectator " has the following announcement : " It ia with deep regret her many friends will learn of the death of Sarah Maria, beloved wife of W. N. Wallace, of this town, which sad event occurred at the home of her daughter, Mrs. McAra, of Regina, on Monday, May 19th, at the age of 72 years." Mr. and Mrs. Wallace spent the winter in Kelowna with Mr. and Mrs. Munro, who occupied Mr. Harvey's house. Mr. and Mrs. DuMoulin entertsin- ed a large party of friends at their home last Wedneaday night, dancing commencing at 8.30. The guests included many from Okanngan Mission, K.L.O. Bench and the surrounding district. An excellent supper waa served at midnight and dancing was continued until 2.30 when the party dispersed by daylight. A slight diversion wns caused hy the failure of the electric light for a few moments although it in no way interfered with lhe proceedings.

If a Scout mail, anothc��� Scout,." en though a stnva to l.im, he must speak to him umi li.'p him ia sny way possible, eithsr to oirry out. I hi duty he may be doing, or l.y givi.j him food or as far as possible auythiiH he may be in want of. A ir-uc Scout must never he j, s-iob. A snob is ore who looks down upon another Iwcsuse he is poor or unetfioi'nJ, or who is poor and resents another liecni.at ho is rioh. A Scout SOOlptS the other man jnst as he 6nds him, and irmi.es the best of him. "Kim," thn boy scout frequently quoted in the linnd-book, was called by thi Indians, "!;t)e friend of all tht world," and that is the name ewry boy should earn for himself. 5. A Scout is oourteous, that is, he is polite to all, but especially to women and children and old people, invalids, eripplee, etc Ho must not take any reward for being helpful or courteous. 6. A Scout is a friend to animals: he should save them as far as possible from pain, and should not kill any animal unneci ssarily, for it ia one of God's creatures. Killing for food is allowable, or killing harmful prats such as flies, eto. 7. A Scout obeys orders���of his parents, patrol-leader, or Soout-mae- ter without hesitation or question. Even if to gets an order hi* doesn't like, he must do as soldii.ru and sailors do, ho must oarry it out all the same because it is hisduty, and nfter ho has done it he oan come and state his reasons against it���but he must oarry out the order at onoe. That is discipline, which ia so lacking in our midst. 8. A Scout smiles' and whistles under all adverse oircumstaiices, and when ho gets an order ho should obey it cheerfully and readily not in a xluw discontented sort of way. .Scouts never grouse at hardships nor whine at each other, nor swear when vexed When he just misses tbe mail, or arrives just after the store has closed, lie should force himself to smile at once or whistle a tune, and he will be all right. (Since this'rule first appeared, many scouts, old snd young, have written their appreciation of it to the Chief Scout.) ' A Scout goes about with a smile on his face or whistling because it cheers himself and other people, especially in times of danger, for be keeps it up then just the .same. The punishment for swearing or any bad language is for each offence a mug of cold water poured down the offender's uplifted sleeve. It was ths punishment adopted by the old British Scout Captain John Smith, three hundred years ago. 9. A Scout is thrifty, that ts, he saves every cent he oan, aod puts it in the Bank so that (ie may have money when out of work, and thut not make himself a burden to others; or that he may have money to give to others when they need it. The foregoing are the nine original scout laws on which tho wholo movement is based, but it waB found neo- imsary to add another which speaks for itself, namely: 10. A Scout is pure is thought, word, and dead. With regard to this Inst, scout- matters have no hesitation in speaking absolutely frankly to their boys on tho subject, for prudish so-called modesty is as contrary to thc Scouring principles as stealing or lying. The qualifications for a tenderfoot inolude betides a knowledge of the Scout Laws, the signs or salute, tho composition of tho Union .luok, tho right w uv to fly it, and , the following knots: reef, sheet-bend, clove-hitch, bow-lino, fisherman's, and sharp-shank. To describo these knott would involve technicalities whioh are superfluous in our limited ipaoe, but a few words on thc Union Jack may lie welcome. Thit flag it the national flag of the British Empire, and ia made up as follows: First we have tho ling of St. George, the patron saint of England, whose light with the dragon is depicted on the British coinage. In IfiM King .lames I addod to it tha banner of Scotland, which was a blue flag, with a white 8t. Andrew's oross superposed; the addition of the banner nl St. Patriok of Ireland gave a white Hag with a red diagonal cross, ,sn thai tho "Union" Jaok to-day stands for the old-time union of England, Scotland, and Ireland. This flag was called "Jaok" either from ".laoquos," tho French for "James" I, who first started it, or mora probably from tho jaok" or jacket whioh the knighin used to wear over their armour to show which nation they belonged to; the English knights snd Crusaders wore a whjte jaok with the red orosn of St. George upon It; this was also their flag. Stop Killing of Calves Swift & Co., acting, it is said, for all the packers, have issued a pamphlet calling upon the people to stop eating beef snd turn to mutton. Here is the warning: Eat more iamb and mutton and less beef. Raise more cattle on the terms. Stop the useless and wholly in. defensible slaughter of calves. The United States, says the pamphlet, is the greatest veal consuming country in the world. The number of calves slaughtered for food lms increased 100 per cent, in the last ten years. The statement is made that unless some nalion-wide laws are passed ���laws similar to those now in force in South America ��� forbidding the slaughter of calves, the price of beef is going to be still higher. The more calves that are killed the fewer cows there will be by and by. This is one of the principal reasons for the constantly increasing cost of all leather. The farmers have been killing or selling their calves rather than keeping them to increase their herds.

Drafts were turned on and the fire burned up. Drafts were checked as soon as the fire was well under way. From the time the first kitchen range was ���made until the Gurney Economizer was invented a tremendous amount of heat was wasted, and absolutely wasted. This heat should be retained in the stove for the purpose for which it was created ���to cook with. The Gurney range absolutely retains the heat with the minimum amount of waste. The Economizer enables you to produce in a few minutes an extreme or moderate heat in thc oven whenever and as often as you desire it What this means every woman knows. You are not fair to yourself or your purse if you do not investigate the Economizer in buying a new range. At the same time you will appreciate the exceptional value of the other exclusive features of the range'���the Divided Flue, the Special Grate and the Broiler attachment.

What you aay about Myrtle don't surprise me in the leaat. I hare long suspected that the faithless hussy wat false to me but now I am positive oi it. Ah I well, I'll try and bear up under the crushing blow, but I guess 1 will have to carry this sorrow with me to the grave. Heavens, how I loved that woman I Changing to a happier subject Sid, the weather man is uncorking a brand of weather in Kelowna right now that you simply couldn't beat anywhere. Talk about your southern California and Italy, why this place has got them lashed to the mast in a stormy sea. With the lake, trees ���nd mountains, my boy, its a regular poet's dream. We've also got some pippin of a fiark here along the lake shore, and be- ieve me when I say " Its a park what is a park." Right along the beach runs the esplanade, whatever that is, and scattered in careless profusion along this (what I said before) are numerous benches which you find very handy in case you are out with so'ne sweet young thing and are looking for some spot where you can pour out your soul in adoration at her feet��� I know what you thinking now : Shall we kill him or let him suffer. Earnest Sid, I think its the climate uncovering this streak of romance in me, I didn't have these spasms at the coast. The boss left a couple of days ago to take a trip down your way, said he was going down to look around, and see if he could get any new ideas for the Opera House (if there's any new scheme leave it to htm, he'll land them). We're still knocking out home runs at the Opera House and people are beginning to coma out of their trance and realize what good stuff we are putting on. We've got a pianist who can certainly tackle the ivories, he plays music that suits the pictures. You know how it is in some shows, a picture of a wedding comes on the screen and the pianist plays a funeral march. I've known some cases in real life where this would do but it sounds very burn at the pictures. i ou remember I told you in my last letter that victory waa perching on our banner, well she fell off yesterday with a dull and sickening thud. The boys went up to Vernon on Tuesday, and some of them must have gotten their feet crossed for we lost 6-2. Well, never mind, we can't always expect to wear the chaplet of victory on our classic brow, and this defeat will but spur us on to renewed effort, With all due apologies to the poet, "Kelowna crushed to earth, will rise again." Now Sid get busy with your little Waterman and answer this right away, and when you have saved up $16.85 leave that city of gloom and come and bask ii the life-giving sun of Kelowna. Yours as ever, JIMMY. P.S.���On later information we find we ware not playing Vernon on Tuesday but Seattle. Rich Cut Glass For June Brides Out Cut Glass is of that beautiful clear variety that reflects myriad scintillating rainbow hues when placed upon the table. Each piece is cut and polished by hand, special attention being given to deep faceting, a quality so much lacking in the inferior grades of cut glass. Call in to-day. $2 to $40 W. M. PARKER & CO.
