To tite Kelowna Farmer A Profitable Market for Field Produce and a Steady, Flow of cask into his Pockets yottuiHfmj COURSE PURSUED BY THE GERMAN SQUADRON, WHICH ENDED DESTRUCTION A���location ���( German fleet in Pacific off the coast of, Chile. They Bailed from this ipot around Cape Horn, and at point- (D) encountered the British Fleet, whioh Mink the Scharnhorst, GneiBenau aad Leipzig, and captured two colliers. The Dresden and Nurnberg escaped, were persued and captured. IN Two men met tlw other day in front of the post oilice and stopped for a chat. One was a farmer from the benches and he was feeling pretty blue about the returns from his fruit crop, and didn't hesitate to say Bo. "Well," he asked at last "and how is this ereamerv scheme coming along?' "Look here" said the other��� he happened to be a member of the committee who have been spending a lot of time lately making investigations into the matter��� "That creamery has just got to go, and don't you forget it. It is the Kelowna farmers' best bet by a long way, and it is bound to succeed if only they'll get behind it and make it. It means dollars ir their pockets, and the way to. a pros porous community." And ib does I Let ua eonsider the conditions. We have here in tnu district the makings ot one ot tbe unest dairying countries in tba Dominion. That IB' the opinion of men who have farmed lor a Uie- time in many parts ot the world. Climate and soil fertility could not be better. Few places can compare with this in the quantity mui quality ot tho teed which oan bo grown to the aore, and the long open season* often more than nine months of the year makes an ideal condition for grazing stook. 'these are facts which can not be domed and not the superheated imaginings of the real estate artist. How then are we to take hold of these natural advantages and, devclopo them so as to bring prosperity to thu community, and smooth out tho wrinkles, whioh are settling on the farmer's brow? Admitted that we can grow abundance of good hay, alfalfa, corn and roots, how is the farmer to find a market for it? Just by keeping a good customer right on his own farm, and selling his produce to his oow at a good profit. And how will Bossie pay for it? Sho will pay for it m good hard coin and crisp bank notes if he will provide hor with the means. And hero is where the creamery cornea in. Cows as Customers Let ub look at cows for a tow minutes aB a possible market for thu farmer's Held crops. The cow is a factory for the turning out of dairy products of whioh the supply is never equal to the demand, and the farmer must supply tho raw materials ia tho sh-po of haw corn and othor fodder. Now what is the consumption of uach of thoso factory units? In other words what amount of feed���the farmer's raw material���will it eat, and what will he make out of it? The feeding of dairy oattle has of late years been given muoh att-Mtioii ���by agricultural experts and government institutions and the old haphazard rule of thumb way has been replaced by soientifio rations base. I un���i the food value of the different in-<rod- ionts. The ration whioh wo giro is taken, as it might here bo mentioned are all the figures made use of in this article, from reports and calculations prepared bv a special committee of tho Farmers' Institute, who for ."->mo time nast have been accumulating and sifting information from government ox- ports and recognized practical authorities in many places. Thoro may be different views aB to a suitable dailv ration for a dairy sow, and it is real- Iv immaterial so long as a good ono is chosen. But (or purposes of calculation let us take tho following: 20 lbs. alfalfa, �� ..N, $15 ton 30 lba. com, silage (ffi M ton 30 lbs. sugar bsets tffi ?R ton The prices ��� given are the farmer's soiling prioes to tho eow. The oost of this works out at 37 oents per day or for, sar seven months $87.34. For the remainder of the vear the cow could be fed on Bay 100 lbs., per dov of (-reen eut alfalfa at.a cost of 15 cents per day or $tt.fl{l for Ihe re- stall- maiding 153 days. This brings the total cost of feeding a cow to $80.19. It should be noted that this rati, is to- a really first class cow in full production, giving say 12,000 pounds of milk yearly. The ordinary cow at present owned in the distrist will n *t average moro than half of this production. Also no grazing is tak��n into aoeount. as it is too variable for calculation purposes. Where cheap and trood grazing is available of Course the cost of feeding would be jrroatly reduced- Each cow then is the farmer's private market for $80.19 worth of alfalfa, com and roots and will pay ��1 J. $3\ and $5 per ton respectively. Whit profit can the farmer make on these orops at these prices? " Cost, of Haw Materials f��l|.-.,��lfalia for instance; it has been found after taking into uccouat local conditions and rates of wages, cost of water and irrigation, etc., that alfalfa can be grown for $5.40 per ton, and that a fair average* crop is five tons to the acre. Selling to his cow at $15 per ton the farmer sh-^u'd thus make a profit of $48 per acre, equal to 10 per cent., on an investment of $300 per here. The local cost of growing corn plaoed at 77 cents per ton, and for cutting and putting into the silo $1, a total of $1.77 per ton. The estimated average yield of green corn is 30 tons per acre. Selling ensilage to the cow at- $3 per ton, the farmer makes a profit of $36.70 per acre, oi 12 1-3 per, cent., on $300 per acre lanl Roots, mangels, for preference, can be grown and harvested for $2.14 per ton. A fair yield per acre is 30 torn Selling at $5 per ton shows a profit ner acre of $85.80 per acre or 291 per cent., on $300 per acre land." Returns From the Cow. At the end of a vear then the farmer has Bold to his four-legged factory products to the value of $80.19, aud has mado profits on them from Hi to 28 J per cent., supposing h's laud to have oost him $300 per acre. If ho could do enough of this business at these profits he would not be badly oil, but he oan do more than this. Why? Because he owns the factory which oonsumca his products when he owns tho Poft"! And if sho is a good bovine factory, built on up-to-date lines and equipped with efliciont di* geetive machinery, and managed with skill and economy sho will return handsome dividends to swell the farmer's bank account after each year's operation. Now in figuring tho returns from the cow, let us take the poorest kind of producer which tho fanner has any business to keep, say a GOOO --minds of milk a year cow. And to show that this is a poor cow it ought be mentioned that records for first class dsi* rv cows frequently range as high as 20,000 lbs. The following milk records for 1914 of four very ordinary cross-bred oows kept at Rankhoad will also help to ehow what a really poor cow a $000 lb., cow is: fat, and sold . to the oreamery at 30 cents per pound returns $63.00. The residue of 5,790 pounds of skim milk ut 30 cents per 100 pounds wives $19.- 30, a total return for the cow-factory output of $82.30. The price given of 30 cents per pound to the farmer for butter fat is really a verv conservative nnd safe one. The Cowichan Creamery has never paid less than 33 1-3 to tho farmer, and frequently much higher than that. Taking theso very low figures then for the cow's production and the price realized for it it will be seen that in addition to profits on growing feed, a profit of $2.11 per cow is realized, not taking into account the increase of ���lock, and the value af the manure, : which latter has been taken to offset the labor of looking after the oow though it really does a good deal more. Now if so poor a cow as a 6000 lb. nno can show a profit aB a milk fac- , torv. what could be said of r cow producing 12,000 pounds, Which is what every farmer should strive* for? Figured in the same wav thc profit from a 12,000 pound cow would be 884.11. How' To Get Thc Creamery And The Cows The idea at present roughly dtnfted is to incorporate under i'.e Agricultural Associations Act with a capital of $40,000 ��of which 20 per cent., would be paid by tho shareholders, and 8(J per cent., loaned bv the r-overnment. | Building and equipment are estimated at $5,00; ��5,000 could be reserved for working capital, leaving $30,000 with which to assist the farmer* shareholders in purchasing cattle. There are at present in the district 300 mature cows available for suuoiv , ing a creamery. Suppose with the $30,000 a purchase was made of 300 eood two-venr-old t-rade heifers, hnd these alloted to tho shareholders in thc proportion of three C��W*9 to every four shares hold, with navment spread ovei five years by deducting a certain nor tion of the cream returns due each week. In five vears the cows would be paid for, and they and their pro- **env would have increased in the meantime to a value several limes the original cost and the oreamery would have $30,000 of the government loan repaid. Increase of Stock a Big Item Assuming that there are now 300 cows in the district aud that i.nj.her 300 were brought in, ev��n a conservative estimate ol laa increase in five years presents some startling iigures. Allowing 50. per cent o)' the pro"rn . tp be heifer calves and 50 fvr cent., bull calves, at tho end of five years there would be the following stock: Cows, 1860; two-year-old calves, TOO; yearling calves, 900; bull calves, 2580. Valuing cows at $100, two-yoar-old heifers at $50; yearlm-* hoiferjl at $25, and bull calves at $3. these would have a value of S264,- 140 or an increase in five years of $201,140. It would have to bo a prett- forlun ate real estate investment which brought in a' profit like that. And not only would thero bo a numerical increase in the stock; by bringin* i trood breeding stock and I'r.idunl1 grading up for higher milk production the average yield could easily be increased 25 per cent or even mo.'e. Market For Creamery Product Tho farmer's market (or his fodder is the cow, tho cow's market for l.er milk is tho creamery-���where would the creamery find a market for its output? It has been estimated that the population of tho Kelowna district from Wood's hake lo Okanagan Mission iB in tho neighborhood of 8,01-0 people, and it is computed that the consumption pel annum of creamery products by this population is approximate], as follows: ��� Rutland News (From our own Correspondent i We regret to learn of tho de ith on Tuesday af Mrs. Frances of Ku land. * * * The lantern lectures given Ijv Sir.

How a Banker Boosted the Community and His Business Under the somewhat fanciful caption of "Red Pigs and Spotted Cows" Kundall IL Howard tells the story in the current issue of "The Country Gentleman" of how a banker of Oregon raised his community from a condition of dulness with a decided downward trend, following an ill-advised land boom, to a position of prosperity and gave the farmers a good push on the road to wealth and incidentallv built up a bigger banking business for himself. The idea of Banker Hudson was to ship in hogs and cattle and distribute them among the larmers, takinc- notes for them a* one vear. He figured that bv helping the farmer to make more money he would be helping his ban't in the end, and he was right. First of all he placed this advertisement in the bank's regular advertising space: WHY NOT RAISE HOGS? We want to furnish the farmers of this community three carloads, or 150 head, at actual cost, and take your notes for them at one year. These hogs will be purchased in the middle west bv expert buyers through the Portland Union Stockyards and sold to you at actual cost and freight. Oregon pays the middle west $5,000, 000 annually for hogs. Why not keep this money in Orec-on? Better still, keep part of it in Crook County. The local market will' be good nnd vou can always sell them in Portland. It's good business for you, for us and for central Oregon. Call or write for particulars. The first application received will be given preference. At the same time personal letters were sent to farmers ol the surrounding country, with application blanks for hogs "of good blood, but not registered," stating that they would be distributed, "in lots of not to exceed five to each farmer." Community interest was kept warm by such advertisement as this in the regular -bank spaoe: "Why not feed vour hay antl -rain to stock, thereby getting the profit on both the hav nnd the stock? James J. Hill says the fertilizer kept on the farm by home feeding is worth one- third of the value of tho feed consumed. Our new land needs this for tilizer." At last the imported hogs arrived- fifty-two sows costing about twenty six dollars each. The response to the hog advertisement hnd been immediate. Twice as many hogs could have been sold. Farmers gathored from miles round, taking turns in selecting the hogs one at a time until they woro all (rone. For soveral weeks afterward people camo. into tho bank to learn if there wore any hogs left. Some ol those belated farmers had been ne<*li- f-ent; others had just heard of the hog distribution through delayed riewspnn- ors: a fow had been skeptical and won convinced only after inspoctin** their neHfhbors' hoga. Tho imported hogs woro so quioklv taken up that Banker Hudson decided to import A carload of dairy cows. These were auctioned off to tho farmers in the most equitable manner possible, Bo that the bank could como out even on the transaction. The Results. What happened to the hogs and the dairy cows that were distributed? What actual dividends have the farmers received on their investments? Alter the lapse of about a year and a half, reports were compiled showing that the average farmer who purchased hogs had realized one hundred per oent., or more on his initial investment, considering that nearly all the stock sows has returned two litters of pigs. In figuring results the cash receipts from the porkers sold was added to the market value of thoae yet remaining* on hand, and in several instances returns were much moro than one hundred per cent. Lee Hobbs, for example, orirrinallv rrave his note to the amount of 8148 for five sows. In eighteen months his investment had grown to a value of 91,585. Ho had sold $426 w0rth of porkers and ��till had twenty brood sows and IBS pigs. Hoary Twoet. from an original investment of $58 for two sows, had sold $250 worth of porkers the first year and had twenty pigs remaining. Earl Saunders had purchased one of the sows for $29, aud eighteen months later had sold $153 worth of porkers and still had brood sows and pigs worth 8650. "Our district is now fairly well stocked with a good grade of hogs," aaid Mr. Hudson. "One s.-ction alone shipped out eight or ten carloads oi finished porkers last fall, whereas at the beginning ol our experiment there wore not enough hogs in the country to supply the local market demands." Of course Mr. Hudson did not do it all. But he started the ball rollin*. He was patted I on the back and encouraged and pointed to by all the live-stock promoting interests. Then other bankers and individuals and cammunities followed his lead. Ono might mention a dozen other communities of the newer section of the Pacific northwest that have also import ed and distributed stock cows and hn.-s at cost. Even with these results however, the movemont has only begun ,to find its possibilities. There aro��| still other problems that bankers and business men can help to solve for their adiacent agricultural communities. "Dr.d not vou at first consider this community live-stock venture rather risky for a banker? Mr. Hudson was asked. "We have tried to apolv the same business judgment that is required in banking," was the reply. "We purchased mostly Duroc-Jersey foogs because these seemed best suited to our local conditions, though we distributed some Poland Chinas and Bcrkshires. Wo selected Holstein cows because thev were larger and more hardy; hence the steers are better beef ani mals. Also, Holstein cows uBUiilly*| give a larger quantity of less rich milk, which nicely fits in with li raising. There is nothing like skim milk to encourage the hon- on his wp- to thc butcher. "We can lend money on a city building," continued' Mr. Hudson, "but this money is not productive. It brings no return to the community. Contrarilv every dollar that we put into hoc-s and cows may become a permanent and a rotating investment for all timo.

We desire to extend to all our Hearty Wishes for a Happy Christmas and Better Times in the New Year Dalgleish:: & Harding Desert is Strong Defence of Egypt The Sinai peninsula is a triangular table land, measuring 260 miles from its Mediterranean base to its Red Sea apex at Ras Mohammed and 150 miles across from Suez to Akabah. It rises to 7,450 feet above the sea at Mount Sinai and to 8,530 feet at Jebei Urn Shamar, gradually falling northward across the desert of the Wandering and draining towards tho Mediterranean by the great depression of tht Wady el Arish. Two main oaravan routes lead aoross the peninsula to Egypt from Turkish territory, the first from Rafah by El Arish to El Kantara, 143 inileB; the second from Akabah through Nakhi to Suez, 150 miles. From Rafah to El Arish the ground is sandy, and water is found only at Sheikh el Zauieh, twenty-two miles from el Arish. Thit latter town is situated among palm groves a mile and three-quarters from the beach, and it possesses numerous wells. From El Arish to Bir el Maza the distanco is 323 miles and the goinar uaiallv sound. At El Maza there is onlv one well, 35 feet deep and 6 feet of wator. From Bir el Maza tho distance is 31 miles over soft sandy desert to Bir el Abe, where thero is a considerable sunnlv of water from wells. Kat- ich is 17 miles further west, and here thero is a large well with <* feet of water at a depth of 20 feet, while a good^rupnlv of drinkable water can be found.by dipirinar at a depth of 10feet to 20 feet below the surfaoe. From Kntich to El Kantara, 33 miles, the road traverses first a marshv nlain then a long reach of holdmcr sand dunes, and finally 15 _ miles of trood hard desert. El Kantara is on the east bank of tne Suez CnnM and ib supplied bv water from the fresh water canal bv means of a rrne which nasses under lhe Sue* Can*l. The west part of this route in that between El Arish and Bir el Abe. 63 miles, with a single well half wav. The Sirbonian Bog The section of the Mediterranean coast which flanks the road from El Arish to El Kantara is low and dangerous, offering few facilities for a disembarkation. At the head of ihe Bav of Pelisium, east of the Suez Canal, the five-fathom line is (,.' miles from the beach. Sandbanks are numerous tho shore is almost dead flat and the only remarkable feature that can be distinguished from seaward at a distance of over three miles is the Band- hill at Ras Kasrun, 270 feet high, and rather moro than half-way, between the Suez Canal and Et Arish. For Borne fifty miles, with Ras Kasrun as a centre, a long strip of reeflike sand separates an interior laaroon. Lake Sirbon, from the sea. This laaroon is from two to six miles broad.' It ends about seventeen miles west of El Arish, where the shallows alBo end and the five-fathom lino is only half a mile from the shore. Thus Lake Sirbon and the shallows of thc Be" of Pelusium partially cover the sea flank of an armv traversing the desert, and it is only in the vicinitv of El Arish that a naval force can effect anything serious until the Suez Canal is reached, and in the Canal onlv ships with wunfl mounted at sufficient .hoiarht to fire over the banks. Napoleon's March When Nanoleon invaded Svria his troops took three and a half days to cover the distance from Katieh to El- Arish and three from El Arish to Gaza. In his time thero were six wells at El Arish, and in his opinion 20,000 men, could be collected there. An armv defending Egypt oan either assemble at El Arish to oppose tho investment of (his place, or at Katieh to raise the siege of El Arish or at Salihiyeh; all these alternatives oiler advamt-ige*. Of all obstacles which may cover the frontiers of empires, a desert HI a* this is incontestably the greatest. Mountains like the Alps take second rank, rivers tho third. If there is so much difficulty in carrying thefood for an armv that complete success is rarely obtained, this difficulty becomes twenty timos greater whon it iB necessarv to carry water, fornere and fuel, three things which aro woightv difficult to carry, and usually found by armies upon the ground they occuov. Akaba and tho Southern Road Altaian, the Turkish position nt the southern tnd of the Egyptian frontier, it tituated amongst palm groves facing west, and has a very pleasaot appearance after the barren rock .country of Sinai. The villa��� consists ot few mud huts built in Arab fashion, extremely dirty, and without anv prominent house belonging to tht rihoikh. such at it usually teen in Eevptian cz- bths; the population is composed of Bedouint, who do nothing all day but there is no attempt at any bazaar or shops. The fort looks on to the Bea nnd it very powerfully built with thiok walls fifty feet high. It wat constructed in tho sixteenth century to nrottot the pilgrim route to Mecca, being the meeting point of the roads from Palestine, El Arish and Suez. Tho water supply is wonderful, for within a few loot of tht sea one can soratch a hole six inches deep and obtain good fresh water; these holes are dug,dailv and arc used '��������� camels and goats oominar in from nasturaae. The well of Tabah, which is in K is some seven miles from Abaka, and consists of a' few dom -ilms. but with na sign of habitation.

The Pilgrim Route The pats leading up from Abaka to the Tin plateau is very steep and difficult for a heavily loaaiud camel; the road itself has been well made, and it in fairly good preservation, but the at- cent of 2,000 feet takes at least four hours. As Boon as tne top ie reached thc broad trek of tke pilgrim road is seen extending' westward almost dead level and good going to within twenty miles of Suez. The ground is hard, with scarcely any surface sand, so that it would be possible to drive a motor car from one end to the other with only few interruptions where the Wady el Arish crosses the road near Nakhl. The plateau is bounded on each side by a parallel line of low hills about six miles apart as far as Nakhl, and then becomes more open,' stretching gradua,ly towards the tea on the north. The main caravan route runs due west to Nakhl without touching any well, but Bie-et-Themed only lies a few hours off the track, and is ronerallv reached after two days' march from Akaba; this well is hard to find, as the track is muoh obliterated and tho opening stands by itself without any surrounding vegetation to indicate its presence. It is well built and was probably not used by the pilgrims, as the supply iB not sufficient for a big caravan; in summer the well is dry. Nakhl, the capital of Sinai, is provided with immense reservoirs, which wero filled on tho nnnroach of the pilgrim oaravan, thus enabling thousands to get their water at one time. The land round Nakhl Ib town with barley and maize in winter, but crops are very poor, being only sufficient to feed tho few Basni-Bazouka and their wivea and families. The remainder of the journey is much like the first part till one deaoends past Meibeluk, where there is a well, to Suez, where heavy tand is first met with, but it is not impossible to suppose that a motor car could be driven across in fifteen hours to a position commanding ��uez. ���London Times.

"I have used both the dynamite bomb and the new bomb' said an airman. "The two are very similar is size and weight, but the effect as seen from above is very different. When the dynamite bomb falls upon a body of men, you can see bodies leap up in theftair. It is like a small volcano in action. "When the new bomb bursts it simply lays everything out flat within tht area of ita explosion. It seems to exert the whole of itt lorce in waves like ripples when a large stone is thrown into a pool. Men co down line ninepins, buildings collapse like a house ol playing cards, mins are turned over as il bv some unseen hand.

British Industry Id Stress of War Some oi the gentlemen designated at economic experts asserted when the European war broke out that within a month Britith commerce would be ruined, Britith finance collapse and British bread lines exist in every community. But governmental returns ol trade, now that tha war is three months, old, apparently show that trade is good. Great Britain has become a military workshop, and certain industries are operating night and day to provide the supplies that the Allies require and that neutral nations will require il dragged into the conflict. Bootmaking ia one oi those industries. During Ootober, Nottingham, the chief English centre oi the industry, reoeived orders for 4,000,000 pairs oi army boots and notification to be prepared, to supply footwear constantly during the duration oi the war, inasmuch as six weeks oi campaigning end the usefulness of boots. Bulgaria, Greece and Roumania have ordered Britith boots for their soldiers. Italy it inquiring and Russia has- plaoed an order for 500,000 pairs. Armies have to be olad as well as shod. So the manufacturers ol clothing are working overtime to produce 2,000,000 uniforms. These call lot 14,000,000 vards ol material n-��* the cloth mills are working to capacitv many having to ubo double shifts of labor. Neither the woollen nor the tailoring trade has any lack of employment. Blanket mills are ru-* 24 hours a dav to provide 1,000,000 blankets for the soldiers ana" ntilora.

Donoghue Assignee for the Estate Tbe Official World of Germany Tht German schools being all stale schools, says Mr. Austin Harrison in 'The English Review", the entire education in German., is controllable from above. History has thus been taught in the schools on extreme Pan-German lines; in every tohool the German boy haa been taught to regard ICnglnnd as the great enemy of Germany, and any professor who ventured to counteract the stream of lies introduced into the modern German eurrioulum would have lost hit position at once. The law, too, being part of the government system, every judge, barrister solicitor, and lawyer's olerk is a number in the regimental state machine: and the tame anoliee to the church. the income-tax collector, the revenue taxation department, and to all officials, down to the office boy in tha nott office, and all who wear the uniform of the state. At the military class takes precedence of all others. gives tht tone socially and matrimon ially to all strata, all conditions of civil life are permeated with the military and bureaucratic spirit, ribboned together in a malettrom of snobbery, social and professional ambition, with its inevitable and calculated effects upon marriage, and consequently upon the whole education, attitude and po-' sition of German women. Thus, through all forms of civic life, Germans are held in-servility, in disciplinarian control under the drill of the system which constitutes the greatest organization of matonry that the world haa ever known. I To understand what this means we must realize that every school girl aspires to marry a lieutenant; that every lawyer, every articled clerk, every postman, every fireman, every railway man, every school teacher, every forester, every tax collector, every University lecturer (as the state servant of empire), regards himself at an integral part of the administration, necessarily and disciplinarilv obliged to act and think accordingly. All professional careers are in this way controlled by the upper or~nnizali:an: all bureaucratic employment, advancement and success; all judicial, ecclesiastical, educational, and administrative activi ty, with the inevitable forfeiture of all freedom of the Press, and all knowledge from the outside. Every Backfisch it caught in ita toils; every eager youth, every anxious mother. The gigantic world of Germany takes itt politics from the Army, while the armv* takes it' from tht Emperor, who so exercises an autocracv "~e^ter than an" Czar of Batata of Sahaa ol Tu- in very truth, Monarch of all he surveys. Apply this system to policy, and it is easy to see the immense power of the Sovereign wil], nnd the curious servility of tie people who tuh- mit to it. W.

To Save Money and to make the Kiddies Happy GOTO Alsgard's The Confectionery Women's Annual Missionary Convention Farmers Help Belgian fond The following report waa contributed by Mra. M. S. Cairns, of Vernon, district secretary of the W. Jt. S. The annual distriot convention of the W, M. S., was held in the Tcnticton Methodist church, Thursday, Nov. 20, with Mrs. J. W. Jones, district organizer, presiding. The devotional half-hour waB in charge of the Vernon Auxiliary. In the Organizer's report, Mrs. Jones gave an outline of the number of Auxiliaries, Circles and Bands in the district, reporting one new Auxiliary having been formed in Keremeos. aShe urged that we all try to do better than last year, explaining the amount of work tho General Board had on hand; and that it seemed impossible to cut expenses; the salaries of our womon doctors, nursos, teachers and Bibb-women are already meagre, and tho demand for more workers and equipment is continuous from all the countries wha're the W.M.S. is at work. The election of officers resulted in thc return of Mrs. Jones as district organizer and the election of Mrs. Cairns of Vernon as secretary. 1{��11 call resulted in the following places reporting having Auxiliaries:��� Armstrong, Knob Hill, Vernon, Summerland, Kclowna, Peachland, Penticton and Keremeos; while Pentiot- Summerland and Kelowna were proud to report having Mission Bands as well. Greetings were extended from the *V. M.S., of St. Andrew's church, from the Baptist Mission Circle and from thc 'V.C.T.U. A letter of encouragement was read from our loved leader, Mrs. Betts; she sent us word that the General Board needed $200,000 for this year's work, and if this total was reached it meant that no Auxiliary should fall behind last year's givings and all should strive to do a little better. Mrs. P. Caldran of Pentioton rend Paper on "The Successful Mission Band and its value." This certainly made the delegates feel as if they Bhould go home and organize a band, or if fortunate enough to have one already, to do more to help it along. Mrs. P. Brooke of Kelowna Bang twice, giving beautiful renderings of "There is a Green Hill Far Away" aud "Nearer My God to Thee." The second paper was ariven bv Mrs. J. C. Switzer, of Kelowna on the "Privilege of W. M. S. member" this paper was brimful of helpful hints and gave a good idea of our duty at home in the church and to the world at large- In closing she suid:l "Just as the new national dan~er calls for creased patriotism and sacrifice, so the neay i-unaaataoUS Call Ior inCreuScd IUltll lulness and prayer so that the wort undertaken by the Missionary Board may not sutler Irom lacii ot support." Mrs. X). il. Watson ol buinnieriand, gave a very interesting ana ndplui address on "The Consecration of Ability." A hearty invitation from Kelowna to hold next year a convention thero closed the arternoon session.. The delegates were entertained in the church between meetings, thus gotting a chance to know each other and to meet the members of tho entertaining society. At 6.30 p.m., cveryoody sat down to a splendid supper and by 8 o'clock were rested and ready for the evening session. Mrs. Koger's words of greeting were hardly needed to let us know we were welcome for we had been made to feel that the whole of the day. Mrs. Elliott ot Peachland, in reply thanked the ladies for all their kindness, but explained that we were not gathered together for a good time only, but were part oi a world-wide undertaking and were there to sain all the inspiration and information possible and to oarry it baok to our own Auxiliaries. Mrs. Jones who had attended Board meetings at Toronto during October, gave suoh a graphic aacount ot it that we felt as if we had bun there ourselves. An exercise by the PenticWn King*! Own Mission Band, entitljd "M'ttion- ary Lights", was greatly enjoyed. A reading entitled "Unawares" given by Miss Ethelwyn Jones. The address on Woman's Bights the ltev. R. W. Thompson was that wiil not soon be forgotten those present. While in no way favor of women being held as slaves he more than umtcd that thai women of this ago, with their advanced ideas with regard to thtir rightB, were inclined to make it exceedingly difficult for the men of the nation to provide tho where-withal to nay for all their unneoessarv and extravagant fanoiet. Mr. Thompson explained that there was no limit to the advance women might make, and the responsibilities thev might share, to long at they did not forget to lift the home-lite along with them. The solo by Mrs' Mitchell entitled "The Mother's Choice" made a very suitable ending to the day. Mre. Switzer, in well chosen words, expressed the thanks of tho convention to tho ladies o< Penticton and to those who had helped to make tbe prqgram a snccesB, especially thanking the Pentioton Mission Band for the help they had given. $* M. S. CAIRNS, Dittriot Seoy. The following letter has been reoeived by the seoretary of the Farmers' Institute from Mr. W. B. Scott, deputy minister of agriculture: Dear Sir.���I beg to aoknowlcilge receipt of your letter of the 1st inst.. enclosing cheque for 936.30, boinar subscription from your Institute towards Farmers' and Women's Institutes Patriotic Fund, and for which I thank vou. Will you be so good as to convoy to tho members of your Institute my appreciation of their generous response to this fund. You will be interested to hear that Institutes throughout the province are responding well and liberally, and up to date there has been subscribed a little over 1*3,100.00 and subscriptions aro coming in daily. I thinl- that, taking into consideration the hard times which exist at present this is a very fine showing, and one which reflects the frreatest credit on Farmers' nnd Women's Institutes. To rniso this amount of monev must have cnlailod a certain amount of self- sacrifioe on the part of members of Institutes. Tno total amount reoeived by the ond of the vear will be donated to His Majesty's government, as a contribution from the Farmers' and Women's institutes of this province, to be utilized by them as thev think best towards the alleviation of sufferanp and distress in Kuronean countries. I note that you had a satisfactory meeting last week, to discuss the advantage whioh would accrue to your district by having more mixed farming, and the starting of a creamery. I nm very glad to hear that vou took up the subject. The farmers a^neral- ly throughout the Okanagan valley will never attain the best results till they get some stock on their placet and conduct their operations along mixed farming lineB. I never was an advocate of specializing in fruit,growing on small, acreage. The trained specialist may do all right, but the average man would be far better advised to devote part of his holding to alfalfa and lhe raising of stock, and in short, generally conducting his place along mixed farming lines. With regard to proposed creamery at Kelowna. Our department is prepared to do all that it possibly can to help vou towards the formation of a oreamery, when there is sufficient justification for the same, but it would bean ill-advised step to take to start one without there being a sufficient amount of good producing cows to warrant this. I am glad to hear that you have had a pruning class on the K. L. 0. bench lands and .expect to have more. Youra verv trulv. W. E.

The name connected with the art'ofo is "Jorsey Admirer." Now, Mr. editor, if you will honor this artiole, by its publication I will endeavor to show "Jersey Admirer" as well as the readers of "Canadian Farm" that he told vastly more truth than he purposed to tell. He made just one slight mit- take by suggesting that the milker drop the coin io the pail. This being totally unnecessary, as the pure-bred HolBtein cow does that herself, just as easily and naturally as she chews her own oud. It is characteristic of Holsteins, at each milking to il.'.posit from twenty-five to fifty oentt (visible to the financial eye) into the oail. Let us carefully examine Bulletin No 75, Bureau of Animal Industry, U. S. Department of Agriculture, which reports the yearly performance of ten different broods of dairy oattle, and select therefrom two breeds, numoly Holsteins and Jerseys. Now, wo find there were 403 Holsteins that, for 365 days, average! 48.9 pounds rer day. Clearly eaoh of these cows juL 25 cents into the pail at every milking. We also find there were 153 Ja-reeys, that for 365 .la's averaged 23,7 pounds per day. Ju,t as dearly tboy deposited 12 oents into the pait at eaoh milking. Surely tuch performance ahould arouas our admiration. Mr. Editor, 1 wish to try v���ur patience a little further. You take 10 of theee Holsteins. while I take 10 Jerseys, and we will operate them for ten vears to see how our incomes will comnare at the expiration of that time. It is eai-ily seen that one of yours in one d averaged just 25.2 lbs., more than ona> of mine. At this rate coir,tails the produotion of ten of oanh breed for ten years and we get 919.800 pounds. This represents your train over what 1 get. Thit told at a cent a pound brings the nice turn of $9,198. This puts you a lona, wav ahead of me. , Again, according ta the above rt port, those Holttein's averaged just a half a pound of butter ner dp- more than did the Jerseys. Compute this on a herd of ten of eaoh breed for ten years and you tret 18.250 lbs., of butter in favor of the Holsteins, besides ovor 900.000 lbB., of senarntod milk, worth $2,700. Add to this $8, 475 for the butter nnd vou have a s-rand margin of $8,175. "What should -we arid for the difference in the value of the vounc stock?

Would Join Okanagan and Shuswap Lakes Interesting Canal Project is Suggested by Visiting Journalist The* following extraot '% from an interesting artiole from the pen of Mr. B. A. O'Farreli, a well known journalist, who recently spent a sho't timo visiting Capt. Brush on the K. L. 0. bench, appeared in the Province a few days ago. Some of the suggestions thrown out are decidedly novel and striking. The Okanagan Valley, he says ia a counterpart of the Italian Tyrol. It is pre-eminently tho land af the cherry blossom, and its orchards and vineyards and honey and creamery products already rann. with the best on the continent, but this great sunny land has only been born. And yet6 it waa famous long ago when Sir Robert feel wat premier of England and his emissaries were hesitating as to where the Oregon country or Prince Rupert's Land should be divided. ,. The American arbitrators were anxious to get too muoh of the Empire wilderness in dispute, and the English envoys could not see any good in a country where salmon would not rise to a fly. So they decided tht Okanagan valley and, the Columbia vallev and the Kootenay valley by the forty-ninth parallel of latitude instead of by 'fifty-four forty" to whioh the Americans laid claim. No matter what may be written henceforth about the famous Oregon dispute, the agreement was reached in the moat haphazard way, for both parties were agreed -that the country they wei dividing was not worth fighting for, The American government of that day did not want any more free soil territory and the British government was equally indifferent. Had it been divided on geographical lines, the whole valley of the Columbia audits tributaries would have gone to the United States, and much of Montana. Dakota and Minnesota would have .been Canadian. But they did not know much about geography seventy-four vears ago, and as a consequence the most unscientific boundary in tho world separates the great Dominion and the great Republic. Vet as a great illuminating faot there is not a soldier, or a fort, or a battleship along the whole four thousand miles of imaginary boundary separating the two great peoples of the western world. The sacred pact entered into by two nations enjoying blessings of democratic institutions and absolute freedom is a better guarantee'of tho integrity of each than ten million soldiers armed to tho teeth, and ten thousand dreadnoughts shipped for battle. The Okanagan Lake was at one time part of the .Shuswap ��� lake, whioh is now drained by the Thompson River into the Fraser. The Shuswap lake is") that magnificent sheet of water skirted for some ninety miles by the main line of the Canadian Pacific west of Sicamous. Kamloops to Pentioton The Dominion government should long ago have reversed the orocess nnd built a canal to re-conneot the Okanagan and Shuswap. Suoh a canal . would enable traffic to be handled between Kamloops and Penticton, a distance of 220 miles, by steamer, and of course between all intervening points. It would have a far'reaching effect on the development and settlement of those wonderful lake countries. Seventy-five vears ago Kamloops was an American town, and nearly all the settlements along the Shuswap and Okanagan were American. They were, however, few and far between, only a hunter's or a squawman's cabin here and there. A solitary Indian fishing on Shuswap and a trapper's campfire was all that one prospector saw on his way to Cariboo in 1854. The Americans had all gone after the Treaty of 1846, and Kamloopa waa as deserted and desolate as the Belgian eities devastated by the Huns of to- dav. Whon the canal between the Okanagan and Shuswao is constructed. Kamloops will become a city of great Tiie Versatiles Here on Christmas Day A real Merry Christmas is guaranteed to Kelowna theatre goers this year by Manager Dunoan. for lie has been able to seoure F. Stuart Whyte^s all-star English "Versatiles" for that day. The "Versatiles" are easily the most popular travelling organisation that has ever played this city, and no more welcome attraction could have been found. At the Christmas matinee, which will begin at 3 p.m., the oompam will repeat their former success "Scot- tie in Japan." This is tho pocket musical comedy that was so well received when they presented it here last September, On Christmas night they will give an entire -hange of programme, presenting their latest success "Pierrot and Pierrette" This is the first time that this clevor entertainment f has ever been offered in Kelowna, and it hfiH proven a sure winner elsewhere. Mibs Zara Clinto, Billy Oswald. Harry Hoyland and aU the othed well known favorites will appear to advantago in this new bill. In keeping with tho spirit of the dav. manager Whyte has arranged to (rive free admission at the matinee performance to all' those who cannot honestly spuro the prico of admission. Those with large families, who could possibly spare the prico of one or two tickets, but culd not afford to include all the littlo ones, are especially urged to come.

Bowling With.the game tonight between the Pastimes and Royals the schedule in the Dreamland Bowling League will come to an end as to avoid being busy bowling on Christmas Eve the games scheduled for that night were played on Monday. Owing to the faot that "The Reoord" is being issued earlier than usual this week we are unable to give the result of the last game, whioh, however will not materially affect the standing of the league and in no way affect the winning teams. The Beavers wind up the season with an enviable record of 31 wins and only 11 defeats, a percentage of,'745. Their steady and consistent bowling has won for them the premier place which they have held since shortly after the half way mark was reached. ��� * The tie existing between the Dreamlands and Starlights last week was broken this week leaving the former in second place, one game in the lead over their near rivals. Theee three teams are the prize winners. At present the Bears are holding fourth place but should the Pastimes win'the entire series from the Royals tonight they will go into fourth place while the Bears will drop to first place in the second. division. Tho real surprise of the week was the garrison finish of the .Mission team, who for the firat time in the. league season demonstrated that they knew how to handle the whitewash brush and surely they used it well by completely smothering the Pelicans in three straight games, the first of which thev won by a single pin. Next week we will present the correct standing ol the clubs as well as the various prize winners and individual standings. Following are the scores this week: Tho Pastimes drove the Bears to cover last Thursday night, winning tne first and third games as follows: How the Nation's Finance was Protected Current Acceptance of $1,600,000,000 Successfully Arranged BEARS Soresby 136 Patten ,' 137 Hallauer Dowsley , McCubbin Totals . 117, 160 131 1*4 147 149 149 131 IliS- -448 162-146 140-406 162-470 115-377 680 720 747-2147 PASTIMES Swerdfnger 126 125 143-394 Willits . f 122 138 197-467 Gibb 143 148 151-442 Hov . 135 106 153-394 Purdy 182 157 212-551 Totgls 708 674 856-2238 The Beavers won three straight Irom the Pelicans on Friday night, the first arame by the narrow mara��in of three nins.

It says in part: The treasury not being obliged to hold a gold reserve of its own, convertibility of the treasury notes is also based on Bank of England's gold, which, however, was at the time inadequate to meet issue of Bank of Engiand (in excess of government debt) plus issue of treasury notes, so that the government action virtually amounted to suspension of the bank act. Since open suspension might have caused alarm, this course seemed well timed and proved most effective. In the meantime, however, the treasury has also constituted a gold reserve. Accordingly the treasury held on Ootober 28, ��9,500,000 in gold, and a credit balance at Bank of Enarland of 135,778,000, or ��15,278,000 in oash against ��31,366,690 notes in circulation. Notes in circulation at the Bank of Englaod were ��36,100,000 and its stock of gold ��61,900,000. Consequently, combined note circulation of Bank of England and the treasury, $65,500,000 wa-s covered by a gold reserve of ��71,400,000, or 1074 per oent. Apprehension of scarcity of currency and the undue pressure on <-nen liabilities being dispelled, the bank soon became sufficiently satisfied to reduce its discount to 6 per cent., on August 7th and to 5 per oent., next day. But while the moratorium afforded protection as to existing liabilities, doubts arose as to effect of its termination, and both creditors and debtors, especially banks with a.heir cross engagements, were placet! in position which restrained them from entertaining fresh business. The government determined "to keep the country going," decided on a measure which, bold as it might appear, was in opinion ol experts by no means too venturesome in view of sound conditions of com merce and finance. It arranged for the bank to discount, without recourse to holder, all approved bills' aooepted before moratorium, under guarantee of government, at official rate. In pledging credit of the nation oil behalf of interests engaged in trade and industry, or in financing same, it removed the bar which had stoned the machinery. Bills, a useless asset as long as they could not be discounted, immediately became available oash. Several hundred million sterling could thus become liquified. Important as this step was, it soon became clear that it was not adequate to completely restore confidence. Whilst it enabled holders of bills to obtain cash and become relieved of contingent liabilities, acceptors felt insufficiently protected at termination or the moratorium, as apprehension removed by a new proclamation, that the bank, on government authority would advance funds to meet acceptances for which cover is not duly forthcoming from clients until one year after the war, it being naturally it* cumbent on acceptors to collect from debtors as speedily as possible and re- nay the bank at ��asliest opportunity. Drawers and endorsers became also freed from contingent 1 abilities. The government advances rank in respect of these premoratorium bills only after post-moratorium creditors. There was no. justification for banks and accepting houses to refuse accommodation for legitimate business, and the government alive to the danger af hoarding, reminded them of their solemn duty to afford liberal assistance to trade and industry. The government has shown admirable determination and good judgment and its dispositions will go down to history forming a striking contrast to attitude ol authorities in some other countries. Though a genera) moratorium has been declared, the government urged on banks to make use of it only in oases where funds were withdrawn for hoarding. In other states, full use of moratorium was . made, and elsewhere, although no moratorium, but only suspension of judicial protted- ingB, had been proclaimed, banks were admonished not to pav out mora than a small portion of oredit balances from day to day, a proceeding nothing short of illegal and detrimental to .oredit of the banks. As a result of government aotion the money market swiftly responded, large amounts of premoratorium bills being sent to the bank for discount which increased floating supplies of bank credits., Owing to decline in trade, and the uncertainty prevailino- creation of new bills became restricted. Discount rate for premoratorium bills dropped considerably below the Bank of England's minimum and gradually to 9 par oent. For post-moratorium bills, not discounted at the Bank of England under government ���ruarantee, the rate also declined below rate and has not likewise fallen to about 3 per cent. The change in monetary situation, however, expressed itself most markedly in rates for loans on call and at short notioe, which finally declined to 1 per oent., 2 per oent nominal. Deposit rates were in consequence re duced to 2 per oent.
