C. 4 ~ CAMPBELL-GOSLING An interesting wedding took nlace last Saturday morning at St. Michael's churoh whon Dr. G, L. Campbell was married to Miss Graoe Gosling. The reception following was held at the homo of Dr. Campbell's father on Harvev avenue, tho hanov couple leaving later bv oar lor Vernon, en route to the, coast (titles where the lioney- "fnoon ts to be spent. on School Trustees Board The election of Sohool Trustees for 1915 which takes placo on January lith simultaneously with the municipal elections, bids fair to have ir-ore than usual interest as we understand that for the first time in the history of Kelowna, a lady is to be included amongst the candidates. There will be four vacancies on the board, the chairman, Mr. J. A. Bigger and Trustees Knowles and Trench having STo"the"'ooat of !ie^7��jJy*HVle completed their two years of office. In addition Mr. D. Leokie has signified his intention ��of resigning, although he has actually another year to run. Mr. Leokie'a servioes have been of a most valuable kind and nis voluntary withdrawal will be muoh regretted. Although nothing definite has boen announoed it is understood that thc first three named will again present themselves for election, while Nurse I'orte has also definitely decided to stand for office on the earnest solicitation of a number of peonle who feel that the mothers should be represented upon the body which has control of the educatio% of the children. Miss Porte who has thus found courage to embark upon this pioneer step has been a resident of Kelowna for a number of years and is( well qualified in many ways for tho office. It remains however to be seen whether the'.sentiment in favor ol women having a share in publio matters of this kind is sufficiently far advanced in Kelowna to ensure her election. Although the nominations for mayor and Aldermen are to take Dlnuo on January 11th, so far as can' bo ascer- oertained no move has yet been nu de in the matter. Kelowna Debating Society Tho inauguration meeting of thin society was held on Wednesday, the 30th instant, at I the old school bouse. Mr. Leokie presided and there wero nearly forty persons present of whom moro than half agreed to booome members of lho sooiety. lhe first business of the society waa to settle the rules. The oloction of officers was post* noned to the naut meeting, and the debate was openod bv Mr. Leslie Nog* ers, who moved:���That women should havo the vote. Mr. Old opposed tho motion and tho following'members nl- so> spoko: Mn. Whitehead and Mrs. Kerr. Messrs. Lionel Taylor, Kerr, Kent. (Vernon), Richards and A. 1'. MoKenzie. The motion was put to the meeting and lost by twenty-six Votes to ten. A vote of thanks to tho chairman was carried with acclamation. Tho next meeting of the sooiety will bo held on Friday, the 15th of f anu- arv. 1916, when Mr. Kerr will move a resolut on in favor of the Naval pro- nasals of the Borden Government. Mr. h. V. Rogers was a visitor to Vornon this week returning yesterday. * ��� ��� ���Mr. D, W. Sutherland and Mr. K. McLaren were visitors to Armstrong Tuesday, returning tho following dny. M. Parker and family are a brief visit witb friends at Mr. W. spending Vernon. Mr. Wm. MoCubbin loft this morning Oregon where he will take a short course in fruit work. Tho Hon. Prico Ellison, minister of agriculture, who was present Inst luosday morning at the puuhc misting called by tho Farmers' Institute tu discuss the commit lee's re wt on tho proposed creamery, left no doubt in tho minds of his hearers as to his hearty endorsation of the idea of going extensively into dairy farming. He looked to mixed farming, he declared, to make up the dohcienoies of the fruit business, aud he uoueved thut money spent in bringing dairy cuttle into thc valley could not be bolter invested. He was Btronglv in in.o. o the government giving assistance to the farmers for the purchase of stock, though at the present, moment, owing to the uniortunate linanciul ccn ditions prevailing, he. could not give any definite intormation that the provincial government would be auie to make an advance ot the money asked lor. lie p.euged nimselt, however, to do everything in his power to assist the scheme forward. The mooting waB well attended and from tho tone of the discussion it was evident that the farmers of the district are strongly in earnest in backing up the efforts of the I'arinors* Institute to get the business started. There was also present Mr. H. Hive, the head of the dairy branch of the Department of Agrioulture and secretary of tho B. C. Dairymen's Association, who had again accepted an invitation to come down for the purpose if investigating matters and advising the oommittee. Mr. M. Hereron occupied tho chair. At the invitation of the chairman Mr. L, E, Taylor briefly ran over the report of the oommittee to whom hod been delegated the duty of preparing reliable figures as to the estimated cost of the proposed creamery and equipment, and also some statistics and the returns likely to be derived from the sale of oroam. These figures were presented in last week's issue of the "Record." Mr. . aylor pointed out that in order to finanoe the project the sum of $40,000 waB needed, the creamery itself costing $5,000 with $5,000 reserved aB working oapital. $30,000 as already explained, would be devoted to the pur-. chase of cows to be alloted to the farmers in proportion to their shines in the undertaking. Thero was no doubt in *ho winds of the committee as to the soundness of the soheme, but before unvthing could be done towards putting thtir plans into operation it was ne-'-'tfSury to secure financial aid **rom outride. For thia purpose they woro.looking to tho provincial government tc advance monev under the provisions )f the Ag- gicultural Associations Act. Mr. Hereron said they had come to the conclusion that it was Hi-ecs- sary to tho future of the district fo>" them to go into mixed farming . aud get the creamery started. The question of finance was one wlv :h would have to be discussed, but so far as tho committee wub concerned the intentions were that they thould sell about $3,000 worth of stock lot-idly. Thoy would then require to borrow from the government $3.4,000, He urged upon tho farmers the need of ���mini' ajl the help i# thoir nower and thoy oould depend upon tho business men to do the same. Mr. Hereron then called upon the Hon. Prico Ellison to speak. Mr. Kliison said ho was not there bv invitation, but ho knew the mooting was coming on aud because he had been in touch with the -v-r.flullur- n I depart men I and knew thoy wero anxious to start n creamery at Kelowna. Being a land owner and n neighbor ho was verv much interested, knowing that thev had to do some thing else besides growing apples, (no* nlause.) Thero was nono more enthusiastic than ho had been about grow- in? apples, but ho realized that some* thing more than that was neces.unto build up the valley. He was not going to advise thorn by any means to dig out their trees but Ke must admit that the results ho far and especia.lv of the present vear had not been very enoourgging. It was largely American' competition he said whioh had mined the fruit market this year, and left tho grower v ith less than enough to nay lho -ot of production. Mr. Ellison bad somo u tp'oeting stories to tell of early farming experiences in the valley. He lho tght thc fii*ures given bv the committee Wfro very moderate, but he wailltxl bis hearers against too great optimism, as things had a way of not coming out exaotlv according to oalojulatlons. Coming to tho question of finance, he said Mr. Taylor had based his calculations upon getting 80 por cent, of the monev from tho imvcrnmont. but it was a question whether thev coiild r-et rtnv monev iust now. The bottom had dropped out of the provincial revenues, which had decreased tremendously, not but that tfle De partment would be very willing to assist them in the way of gotting abl;* men to help thorn. This "oar he had Men able to got tho Minister of Agriculture* at OLtuwa to let. I linn use a portion of the ten million dollars voted for agriculture in tho Dominion. Thev in B. ('., got $45,000 and oti< of that amount they had spent for technical instruction in thu schools about $7,000 us they had .not very mucn left for ugriculturul purposes, Ii pressure could bo bi'ouiiht to bear on Mr. Burrell to allow them to do so that money could not ho put lo better uso than into cows. We int-B. ('. woro sending away enough mcujy every voar for imports to make this country rich. If they had tho balance of power in the House at Victoria in favor of farmers and thoy were'all as enthusiastic as he was and as tho farmers here were they would get the cows. But it was uphill work, especially with an empty treasury, to assist thorn along the'lines they wished, llieie was no doubt in hia mind that thoy had tho land and the climate to keep not only one creamery going in this valley, but three. He realized that there was a lot uf enthusiasm among the farmers of tbe district in regard to the creamery ani it was vital that something should be done. The Hon. gentleman expressed bis willingoess to help farmers in rctrn-d to silos, statin" that if farmers would notify the department of their intention to build them ho would send export men to -''vise them bs to n.eln- ods.. If thoro was anything that his government could do apart from money they would bo willing to do it. Mavor Jones said they were delighted to havo the Minister of Agriculture with them that day. He wanted to impress upon Mr. Kliison and ;tho government that they felt ;h<s necessity 'of having the oreamery opened up in Kelowna. They had got to t state in this valley where they would havo to do something. They expected the government ,to lay down an agricultural policy und come to tho aid of the agricultural idtereets in the valley. They felt that though the fruit industry had not been by env means a failure, at tho same time it was not in the position thut it should be. Certain information had been laid before them as to the profitableness of a creamery, and it appeared to him that if they found out thev wero in a position to get a sufficient number to take cows, then they wanted to know exactly the position they were in with the government, and what the government was going to do. It was no uso going on unless they got some assist--nee from tho government. The sum they were requiring for tho creamery was not a large ono, nnd ho thought the meeting, . before it broke up that day should pass somo resolution or insist upon the government doing something in connection with tho matter. Thoy wanted tho money and they wanted to get the thing started. Speaking as a business man he thought no could say that tho businoss men of this town woro interested in this matter. He did not wish tho Minister to leave that meeting without knowing ox act* ly what their feelings were on this mattor. Ho moved a hearty vote of thanks to Mr.-Kliison for his address. Replying to Mayor Jones' remarks Mr. Ellison promised to do his utmost to holp on the scheme. He stig- vested that pressure bo brought to bear ui>on the Agricultural Depart* ment at Ottawa, in order to allow the monev granted under tho Agricultural Aid Aot to bo used for purchasing oows. If such an effort were made thoy could count upon hiB hearty cooperation. Tho Hon. gentleman then withdrew as ho was obliged to leave early for tho north of the valley. Mr. II. Hive pointed out thut there was a great doal that could bo done by the farmers without spending a largo Bum of money. It was quite possible for them, by their efforts to do a great doal in preparing the district for tho chanco of, government aid When the timo was ripe to gi\e it. The meeting then adjourned until afternoon, when Mr. Hooves "ave a sl-oH address on "Dairying", in which he Dointed out tho advantages of live etook raisHng in improving the land and having something thnt would oay them all tho time. No one wh had had anything to do with li/f stook on tho farm, no mutUr how long he might bo sway fiom that work and no matter what other Wotk he might engage in thereafter, would come to any other conclusion than that the farm seemed incomplete if ho did not keep live stock. Before tho mootin" adjourned resolutions woro passed to bo forwarded to the proper authorities in an effort to secure the necessary financial afsist- anoe. The first waB intended for the pro- BRITISH'HERO OF THE SOUTH ATLANTIC Yicc-Admiral Sir Frederick Sturdee, commanding the South Atlantio fleet which mot the German fleet off the Balkan Islands and destroyed four of the German ships. Tho cruisers Nurnberg and Dresden escaped in the first engagement, but the Nurnberg was later sunk while the Dresden is reported to have reached a haven of safety alou - the Patagonian coast. Aerial Fight over Mouth of British Airship Raid Tho spectacle of a fight in tho air, witnessed on Christmas afternoon by thousands of spectators, was one which ton yours ago would havo been considered ono of the wildest imaginings of fiction. Throe aeroplanes, one a German und two British, were flying overheud ut seventy miles an hour almost a mile high in the air. The German I uule was moving more rapidly than the others, which' swung above it. The British were spitting fire, while tho German was unable to reply'on account pf the strategic position of the pursuers. When the German first came in sight thc anti-aircraft guns fired several shots, but after tho British .-enplanes gave chaso it waB impossible for the ground guns to continue without danger of hitting them. Tho spectacle lusted only five minutes. Tne Gorman dodged and twisted in an effort to escape but the British were on both sides pouring in rapid volleys. The speed at which tho aeroplanes were travelling made the aim uncertain, but ono of the British machines swooped down close to tho German and numbed in several shots at close raw-e. Now tho German returned thc fire, but as far us the people on thc land could see, no damage was done on cither side. The Gorman was chased awav to the eastward. The fight took (dace at Southond-on Sen, .10 miles east of London, on the north shore of tho Thames at its mouth. Baptist Young Peoples' Society Those who heard the ltev. A. B. Iteukie lell of his experiences in Bolivia learned something of tho characteristics of tho Spanish and thoir des- cendantI, The Numbers of lho Baptist Young People1! Society were -riven an insight into tho life of tho homo born Spaniard on Monday cvuning when Mr. A. Kvans related somo of his experiences as a colporteur in Spain some vears �����. Ho described a journey he made on ono occasion .tnd his exciting experiences wore very intoi'tst- ing. One of the good noints of the Spaniard, Mr. J&VftM said, wa" their hospitality. A Spaniard, he said, would give a souaro meal to his bitterest enemy. Tho difficulty of selling Biblos and Now Testaments were took* en of, ftio priests being tho greatest obstacle in this work. A numlwr of questions wore asked and answered nt the close of the address, nnd Mr. F.vnns was cordially thanked. The official press bureau gave out the following statement Monday regarding a British raid on the German coast: "On Friday, December 25th, German warships lying off the Schilling Heads, ��� off C'uxhaven, were attacked by seven naval seaplanes piloted by Flight Commanders Oliver, Hewlett, Bou and K-ilner, with Flight Lieutenants Milev ana Edwards and Sub-Lieutenant Blackburn. The attaok was delivered in daylight, starting from a point in the vicinity of Heligoland. The seaplanes wore escorted by a li^ht cruiser and destroyer force, together with submarines.. As those ships were seon by tho 'Germans from the Heligoland shoro, two Zeppelins and three or four hostile seaplanes and several hostile submarines attacked them. It was necessary for the Brit ah ships to remain in the neighborhood to pick up the returning airmen, and a novel combat ensued between the most modern cruiser's and the enemy's air craft and submarines. By swift manoeuvring tho enemy's submarines were avoided, and tho two Zeppelins were easily put to flight by the guns of thc "Cndaunted" and Arcthusa.*' The enemy's* seaplanes succeeded in drop- pin.- their bombs near our ships, but without hitting any of them. Tho British ships remained for three hours off the enemy's coast without being molested by any surface vessel, and thev safely re-embarked three out of tho seven airmen with their machines. Three other pilots returned later and were picked-up by the British submarines which were standing by. Their air machines were sunk. Dix out of tho seven pilots woro thus returned safely. Flight l ommandor Hewlett is missing. His machine was scon in a wrecked condi i,,n about eight mites from lloligo', nd, but the fate of tho daring and l\ilful pilot is unknown. The extent of th�� damn;'*' done by (he Hrilish airmen's bombs cun-.ot 1m estimated, but all were discharged at noints of mititars signification. (OontlaMtl on Pus 8.) . 4* Mr. Wm. McCubbin left thii morning for a week's visit to Salmon Aim.

CHRISTMAS ENTERTAINMENT AT THE BAPTIST CHURCH Tuesday was children's night at the Baptist church where lhe annual a iinatmus entertainment was head aad intended by a large number of parents and Iriends. it is needless to say that the boys and girls gave a very creditable account oi themselves in the program thoy went through, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Mr. 11. C. Jenkins, superinioadent of tho Sunday school presided, and under nis guidance tne program wont olF without a hitch. Every item was heai-lilv applauded, but the chorus, "Holes in our Stockings:' by a number of little ones evoKeal a woll-desorv- cd recall. Mr. Blaokaby's boys class rendered a couple of items and their etiorts mot with much ujiiuoaiaa. Ono of the prettiest effects ot the evening was the chorus, "Just a little peep at Santa", by some of the little gills who marched on to the platform with lighted candles in their hands looking for Santa, who, however, turned up later on beaming upon one and all. Tho solo by Jean Swordfager "Snow Flakes" with chorus wat another very pleasing item. The climax of the ovening was when Santa Claus appeared on the scene and distributed presents to young and old from a well laden Christmas tree. Every oredit is due to Mrs. H. C. Jenkins and Mrs. Harding who trained the ohildren. Very few who are reading Iho news realize what a million men, and there are several million in the i.tesont European war, really means. A million men marching four abreast would make a closed up column 150 miles long. The food {or a million men lor one day would fill about 200 freight ears. Between 300 and 400 postal clerks and sorters wore detached from London and sent to France to help in tho distribution of the Christmas mail lor the soldiers. These men were all enlisted in the regular army and drilled like the other men. If oeeded to defend a hot centre the.- were expected to drop their bags and shoulder their rifles. The army postal eorps has branches of the various brigade headquarters close to the entrenched linet. Mail service nas been remarkably efficient during the war.

Boa rd of Trad* OfSce Bowling The first bowling league in Kelowna is now a thing; ol the past, the schedule running out on Christmas Eve. Throughout the season the league has undoubtedly furnished the greatest excitement and the kew, but friendly rivalry existing between tbe teams has furnished much enjoyment, not only to the bowlers, but to the many who gather to watch the games. The .scores on, being compared with those of the larger centers are rather low, but in the larger places there are lots of seasoned bowlers to choose from while hen the weak and the strong were divided as evenly at possible in order to equalise the strength of the teams, but should one or two teams be selected from among the Kelowna bowlers there it little doubt tnat they would hold their own with some of the strong teams at tbe ooast or elsewhere. That the bowlers have enjoyed the sport it evidenced by the faot that all who participated in the league have entered their names for the new league whieh it is pronoted to form early in the new year. Not only are tbe bowlers of the old league anxious for the starting of another league but manv others who have not taken part in the first one are anxious also to have thoir names entered on the list and there is little doubt that the new league will comprise as many or even more teams than the old one. The Mission team, who participutod before find it impossible, owing to the difficulties of obtaining five players who are always available, and the difficulties of all getting into town the same nrarht to enter a team in the new league, but no doubt some of their members will be found on other teams. However, ther? is a Word of commendation due the Mission bowlers for the interest and enthusiasm they displayed at all times, although never did they trot above the bottom of the standing. Winning only four "antes out of the games plaved until the last week of the schedule they continued to arrive whenever scheduled and auDarentlv on- ioyed the sport as well as the Beavers who were at the top of the ladder They have proved themselves splendid sportsmen.
