In fact it is a whole life time. The fish fly has*nothing to do with the rearing of its own young. _ It produces the eggs and that ts all. Intercourse with its own babies is denied it. It knows nothing of�� family life. It misses the happiest part of human life, when the babies are growing from infancy to manhood. In comparison with this period in the life-of a man, nothing else is worth while. v Without doubt if this piece were left out, hnman life would cot be| worth living. A contemplation of this fact makes the distance between human and insect life more profound. Word has been received from P. B. Freeland, M. EV that he will be iu town on Thursday the 10th.

It.is a trait of human ^ nature. The bargains to be procured in other towns were constantly in our thoughts and dtx our ' tongues.

We must be constantly saying something in order ,to keep alive the trick of speech". Thomas Jenkin, srM/ of Che- welah, Wash,, father of Thos. Jenkin, of Greenwood, died last Friday at the ripe old age of 75 years. He had been ill for some- ���time and death was not unexpected. Mr. Jenkin -was a well known and prosperous farmer and was highly respected by all whohad"thlTprivilegeof his acquaintance; He leaves three sons to mourn him, - Henry, Joseph and'Thomas. .The funeral was held' on Sunday under the auspices of "the I. ,0. O.'F. of wtiich he was a charter member. Interment took place at the Che- ,welah cemetery. Distinguished and well known visitors to town this week were Dr. Sidney S. Oppenheimer, Mrs. Oppenheimer and son, Maurice. Also Mr. and Mrs. I. Breslauer, all of Spokane. They are on a motoring trip in the Boundary. Dr. Oppenheimer, who at' one time practiced medicine in this tow"n, has still great faith in the district and owns the City View mineral claim near the Prince Henry, and the Salamanca Fraction in,South Deadwood camp also some city property.- Mr. Breslauer wa? a prominent business man in Greenwood in the early days being proprietor of the Greenwood Trading Co., with headquarters on the corner where P. Burns store now stands; They left on Tuesday for Christina Lake.. During noon hour on Wednesday some - thoughtless person threw a match or cigarette end near the base of the old .store next the Pacific Hotel. Fortunately "the blaze was noticed by R: Taylor and a few buckets of vs-ater sufficed to extinguish the fire which in a very short time would have caused a conflagration of a magnitude hard to realize. Some people don't know the danger- from carelessness, in handling matches, etc., especially in the vicinity of places as this mentioned as the footing of this building1 is as imr flammable as tinder and in addition the risk-to adjoining properly is so great as to be a continual source of anxiety to the owners. Great interest has been taken in the work,"now completed, of unwatering and sampling the Barbara mine a,nd the Eepublic groups an will be showniby^the following list of subscribers and workers. T. M.

Bylaw No. 2 was given final reading and passed without.any dissentient. A matter relative to Improvements on the sidewalk on Long Lake St. was turned over for action by the streets committee. The report of the water committee was presented and discussed. The repairs on Twin Creek reservoir are proving the salvation of water supply as no leakage _ whatever isjjaking place. The whole of Twin creek is now turned into the resevoir and by judicious use on the part of consumers, the city from Kimberley ' Avenue to the South end of Silver St. should be well supplied. Repair work on the wooden mains from Lind creek is still proceeding and the intermittent supply of water to the people south of Silver St. will soon be remedied. Three cases 0/ disregard of the sprinkling hour from 6 tp 7 were brought to tbe notice of the council'but as the informants did not wish to have their names disclosed no action could be taken, but the premises of the ones mentioned will be.closely watched and all water service immediately cut off at the instance of any member of the council or city officials who ~ discover the delinquents. The council expressed its determination to support the water committee in its efforts to prevent wastage and' - to ensure a reasonable supply-for the rest pf tbe season. 'Copy-of a notice of application for a water right on Twin Creek by Mr. W. Jenks of the Phoenix Rd. ��� was referred by the water committee to"the whole of the council. . The City Trustee had already in-- , Bferuc'ted the "committee to oppose 7- such application and this was endorsed by the council who are taking no chances of the -supply of water for the city being jeopardized. The pound committee recommended that a telephone be installed in the residence of the ponnd-keeper, . and this matter will be decided in the very near future. It is .very probable that summonses will be issued against the owners of refractory animals which remain in the city after the pound keeper is unable to handle them. Dr. Oppenheimer, of Spokane, formerly of Greenwood, and still a , property owner-here,-called -on the���*~" Council during its session and expressed his* appreciation of the efforts being made to keep the city in such good shape during the hard times. He spoke in the most optimistic manner of the future of Greenwood and mentioned instances coming under his notice recently of enquiries being made,regarding the Boundary country, and his confidence in the place was enough to compel him to hold his property and pay his taxes regularly and promptly. Tbe members of the Council were gratified with the visit of the well known doctor who announced his intention of paying more frequent pleasure visits to the city anc! district.' ��� ��� G. E. Bartholomew, ot Soring- dale, Wash., is doing some "work on hss claims io this vicinity. Mr. Bartholomew staked the* Providence, Spokane.and Combination mines 32 years ago.

Hartland from the Department of Education. ��� On Monday August 7th a meeting was held in the school house with E. F. Keir-in thc chair and school matters were thoroughly discussed. S. Bombini, J. Keady and Mrs. F. , Maletta were elected Trustees and Mrs. Maletta was appointed Sec.,- Treas. It was shown that there would be more than the required number of pupils attending and the school will be open next term.

S3H THE LEDGE. GREENWOOD. B. C. / v-V The Short Work Day Alany tilings which aro flue in theory, and hi support of which seemingly incontrovertible arguments can be advanced, do not come up to expectations nor prove a success when the acid test ot actual experience is applied. All right in theory, they are failures in practice. Since the war, ami in ihe topsy-turvy period which lias been one of the aftermaths of the great struggle, riuilc a number of ideas over which people theorized have been given a trial. Russia has gone the limit in socialistic experiments, confiscating property, placing a ban on capital, and generally attempting lo run the country on plans never before attempted, but which had for years been lauded and advocated by certain theorists. Tlie world knows the result���Russia ruined, an outlaw among the nations, her people starving by the hundreds of thousands, her lands unfilled to a great extent, and her great industries idle and useless. ln other countries, including Great Britain, United Slates, Canada and Germany, thc experiment of greatly reducing the daily number of hours of work is being tried out with, as yet, no appreciable results of a beneficial character resulting to the workers, while the effect on industry and commerce generally, and on the living costs of all people has been disastrous. Germany probably reveals the best example of the results of this experiment. Under the old autocratic form of monarchial Government, the workers of Germany had to work long hours. Following the revolution and the abdication of the Kaiser, a Workers' Government came inlo power. Hours of labor were greatly reduced, the old nine and ten-hour days being replaced by an enforced eight-hour day for all occupations, and to seven and six hours for certain arduous occilfcations. The experiment has not been a success, and, although Germany still has a Workers' Government, it is now proposed to add one or two hours to the workday. This policy Is not one being forced on the workers; It is the labor leaders themselves woh see the necessity for the longer workday. .-- The theory back of the much shortened workday is that the free time thus provided for the worker is to go into the family life, recreation, study��� in short, to enable the workman and his family to cultivate qualities valuable to the family, society and the coming generation, to improve health and generally enable the worker to devote more attention to his home and self-Improvement. Germany, however, is learning by experience that shortening of the workday below a certain figure develops Into a problem of disposition of the free time. It is pointed out by a writer in The Saturday Evening Post that when a twelve-hour workday is .shortened to ten hours the disposition-of the two hours does not constitute a problem, but when this free timc is extended from two hours to four or even six hours a day a civic and economic problem arises. It has been found-that this free time is devoted to a marked extent to one1 form or another of waste. The waste, il is pointed out, is often economic, in that the free time is devoted to trivialities that reduce the family Income for necessities. In a word, the fact is that the free time;has, with' many, not been devoted to social, cultural, or economic ends, nor even to recreation, but has becn worse than wasted, resulting not in an improvement of the condition and health of the worker, but in all round loss to him and his family. ' * v German labor leaders arc awakening to the fact that their old theory that with a shorter workday, the output per hour Avould be Increased is not working out in actual practice; that, the physical condition and morale of the worker has not improved; and that the only way to increase production and thereby enable Germany to.pay.her debts ahd rehabilitate her industries, is to Increase the workday!- They realize that tlie present salvation and future iiope of Germany depend upon increased production,' and that this can only be achieved by longer hours of labor. '" .." '-.-���. Germany .does not standalone in the, need for increased, production. .-"The whole -world suffers from the same need, and particularly .Industrially, developed nations like Great-Britain, the United States and Canada. If the shorter workday had resulted-.in the physical and intellectual improvement of the ���worker and his family^ then the .gain-.would have offset the loss in.production, but when there is no gain in that-..direction, but only loss to'ad.d to loss, ii. is'becoming increasingly evident that the extreme short workday is "a mistake "economically, both for the nation and the individual. .. ���, . f Germany's New Hate Hymns France Justified in Her Fear of Another War Thc parallelism between recent articles iu the Berlin Deutsche Tageszeitung and the magazine published in America by George Sylvester Vier- cck is striking. The theme is the same in both cases���namely, France, its character and ils conduct. Tlie Tageszeitung raises the question of whether a Frenchman more resembles a tiger or a gorilla. It reaches the amiable conclusion that he is a mixture of both. France, we aro told,- has a poisoned race soul and is addicted lo the crucifixion of human beings. A Frenchman, it appears, is never so happy as when engaged in nailing a tortured fellow creature to a cross. As fierce as a tiger and as "cunning and fiendish as a gorilla, the Frenchman is present- I cd as a vile monster the gentle German is unhappily compelled to. tolerate as a neighbor. The Tageszeitung appeals lo ihe friends of Germany throughout thc world, especially those in America, to spread knowledge concerning lhc true character of Franco. Vicreck does his utmost to comply. He begins by saying that "France is the Cain among nations." "Her international manners," he declares, "are those of a pig, a pig clad to the snout in shining armor." Further we learn: "The French may bc human beings. Rational beings they are not." And so on and on. Vicrock hymns a hate more passionate than that of Lissaucr. - Formerly, ii; was the Brilon who was to be cursed with every breath. Now there are. oily smiles for John Bull and much deprecatory scraping and blowing as he draws near. France has become the abominable one. Germans, whether in the Fatherland' or in other lands, doubtless deem their new propaganda subtle and convincing. If the amazing things about the amazing German mind nothing is more amazing than the German inability to understand how other folks think. Yet for Germany so to spurt venom is not all a joke. It impedes world disarmament. It makes almost impossible further reduction of thc French military establishment. It justifies French fear that Germany still has a will for war. In every way it postpones reconciliation.- Yet, blind with rage, organs which pretend to express German opinion devote themselves to fanning-German hate.������ From the New York. Tribune.

Arrested on Swiss Frontier After Defying Police for Years , A wealthy Frenchman, F. Bertrand, described as a deserter, has been arrested at Geneva at a moment when he hadjjractically one foot on either side of the Swiss and French frontier line, in a cafe that straddles- the bor; der. The cafe is in the village of Saint Julien on thc international boundary. Part of the building is in Switzerland and part in France. Early in the war Bertrand settled in Geneva where, his accusers aver, he made a large fortune trading with Qermany. He bought a villa and several automobiles, and led a life of ^ pleasure.' He said he was more French than Gernj^n, and took pleasure in speaking against France, particularly in the cafe at" Saint Julien where, safe on Swiss territory in one of the drinking rooms, he could be overheard and even seen by the French police in the rooms on the French side; There the French listened to his annoying talk but, unable lo catch him on lhe French side, thcy could not arrest him. Bertrand boasted that���when there was no police about���hc would enter France aud return without a passport. Bertrand, after dining wcjl, 'crossed the border by going from the room on the Swiss side' to greet some j friends. At the instant he passed the line into France he was pounced upon by two French gendarmes. He put up a fight, but was, quickly subdued, handcuffed and carried away. Suffered So Her Hair Turned Gray Husband of Winnipeg Woman Tells About Her Terrible Experience "I never would have believed any medicine could bring about such a change as Tanlac has done in my wife," said Harry Gray, of 126 Bryce St., Winnipeg, Manitoba.

This draws the extra blood awaj^���and permits the muscle to return to its normal condition. The supremacy Nerviline enjoys is owing to its penetrating power,rit strikes deeply, that is why it removes deep-seated pains, and fixes up folks that have Rheumatism, Lumbago, Neuralgia and Sciatica.

Method Is Same As Used In Measur- \ ing Water The language of the electrician is 'Greek to most people' While he talks glibly ot volts and amperes and watts, they know only tha.t they have lo pay an electric light bill fc>r so many units, and let it go at that! Though electricity'. is not a fluid, most of its terms can be, compared . with water flowing through a pipe. ] Xurn a stream of water onto the pad- j dies of a water-wheel, the work that the wheel will do depends upon two things���the amount of water delivered every second and the pressure bf tlie stream. The first is measured in gallon^ and the second in pounds. ** In the case of electricity, however, the rate at which it flows is measured in amperes and���its pressure in volts. Thejwork' which it>will do is found by multiplying amperes and volts together, which gives- the answer in watts, or units of energy The unit is 100O wattsV often called a kilowatt, which is the electrical equivalent of one horsepower. You will find the number of watts they require engraved on most electric'lamps, and from this you can discover what they will cost to use. A 25-watt lamp will use one'unit of 3000 watts in forty hours' burning. The ohm Is another-, electrical instrument which can be understood by a ccomparison' with water. .Water flows easily through a large pipe, but if the pipe is narrow, only a small quantity can force its way through. What the pipe is to water, the wire 'is to electricity. The smaller -{he wire,.the more difficult electricity will find it to pass, because the fine wire resists its flow. Wires are measured by their resistance in,ohms.

TOEONTO Durable Roman Roads Portions Being Unearthed Compare Favorably With Modern Highway In the third century the Roman rulers of England made a/road which ran from Dover to London, and J hen northward to York and Newcastle, with branches leading to Chester and, Carlisle. They made is so well, laid its foundation so honestly, that a piece of it that has been uncovered in Hertfordshire is pronounced by the county and road surveyor to be as good as any highway today. _ Give it an asphalt surface, he says, and it would compare favorably with U)e_best of modern'roads,- , - What a tribute to the work of those Roman road-makers!

Plot made known to Esther (vv. 4-8). . jiordecai appeared before the king's gate clothed in sackcloth. This condition was reported to Esther by heP maids and chamberlains. Upon his refusal to put away mourning Esther sent Hatach, her special attendant, to find out the cause of it. 2..Message to Esther (v. S). This was in the form of a charge that she go unto the king and make reauest for her people. 3. Esther's hesitancy (vv. 9-12). This,was on the ground of a certain law which .made it a capital offense for anyone to come into the king's^ presence unbidden unless the king should extend clemency by holding out the golden scepter. The fact that Esther had not been called to come in for thirty days would seem that the queen was in disfavor. 4. Mordecai presses her obligation (vv. 14, 15).

The Basis of Trade If we take the countries of the world we shall find that with few exceptions they do not produce. sufficient food for their own people, and it may be said quite plainly that if the general idea some people have, that they ought to do so, were the. case, the world's commerce would suffer an appalling setback. It is their" interchange of commodities which is the basis of trade.���Singapore Free I Press.
