BC Historical Newspapers
The oldest mining camp newspaper in British Columbia. ; The Ledge was published in Greenwood, in the Kootenay Boundary region of southern British Columbia. The Ledge was published by James W. Grier until 1907, and was subsequently published by R. T. Lowery (1907-1920) and G. W. A. Smith (1920-1929). The paper's longest-serving editor was R. T. Lowery (1906-1926), a prolific newspaper publisher, editor, and printer who was also widely acclaimed for his skill as a writer. The Ledge absorbed the Boundary Creek Times in April 1911, and was published under a variant title, the Greenwood Ledge, from August 1926 to May 1929.

There seems to be much speculation as to who will be the fortunate or unfortunate individual, as getting up every morning at 4 o'clock, rain or shine, cold or blustery, is no joke. - Now that the schools are closed this is the period when the boys in the town and country are busy acquiring more than a usual amount of knowledge learned outside of school. Characters are being largely developed in the boys spare time, and it is important that the recreations and advantages should surround him with an environment making for higher citizenship. Boys, like men, must have their clubs. There is no finer boy club system iu the world than the Scouts. The organization puts a boy on his honor. The judges of honor arellie boys themselves. Everywhere throughout Canada, and over the whole continent, these boys' clubs, surrounded by clean, constructive enyironment, have been a great influence against juvenile delinquency. Some citizens, looking for something to do along public service lines, yet inactive because they do not hear a call, might turn ia and help spread the boy organization movement. Work among the boys is rejuvenating, and better still, it is helpful in turning out law-abiding, industrious citizens. DIVISION I V. Edward. Tripp, Principal. No. enrolled - - s - ,23.

B. 0. se Canada's Huge Wheat Area Prairie Provinces Have More Than Ninety Per Cent, pf the" Wheat Acreage. Thc total area sown to wheat this season in the Dominion of Canada is estimated at 18,654,100 acres, an increase of half'a million acres over the 1920 area, constituting a new record for this grain. Seven hundred and nine thousand one hundred acres of this is seeded to fall wheat, leaving 17,945,000 to be sown this spring. The prairie provincesf have more than ninety per cent, of the Dominion's wheat acreage, with 17,418,900 acres.. This shows an increase of 577,000 acres over" the previous year. Man s Greatest Asset The universal membership enrolment campaign recently conducted" by tho Red Cross Society throughout Canada had for its object the arousing of the people to the vital need oT greater personal interest in the matter of health. It was not a campaign lo raise money, but a Dominion-wide and well organized effort to secure an active and intelligent public interest in measures for. the prevention oi disease, it being realized that an .ounce of prevention is worth many pounds of cure. The average man, woman and child gives little heed to their physical well-being until thcy arc afflicted with some ailment, and then there is a hurry-up call for a doctor. That there is need for a great awakening on the part of the public in regard to matters of personal hygiene and public health-was demonstrated by thc enforced medical examination of men for military services during the war years, but, startling as were the disclosures from those examinations, even more staggering are some recent figures and opinion contained in an article iu The Journal of Health aud Sanitation, written_by Dr. J, II. Kellogg, superintendent,of the famous Battle Creek Sanitarium. Races of men have sometimes died out and utterly disappeared and Dr. Kellogg is of the opinion that this may happen to thc whole human family if wc continue to live under what he considers present unnatural conditions. Man, says Dr. Kellogg, is a very old-fashioned animal trying to live in a new-fangled way, iu a manner that no animal ever before adventured, and so unnatural and so ill-adapted to liU constitution and his requirements as to render li is ultimate undoing inevitable. Man is by nature an open-air- d.vcllcr. Dm the business "and professional men, incarcerated behind llic doors of their office":, with their assistants, die years before thcir time, and, on the average, twenty years sooner than the farmer whose vacation keeps htm. in the open. Prcscnt-da'y habits and methods of living are held accountable for the physical deterioration of the race, and for the prevalence of diseases which are carrying off people by thc million. According to Dr. Kellogg, thc United States "loses from its population of 106,000,000 by death 1,500,000 people every year, while 3,000,000 people are sick all the time. In other words, one-fifth of the population arc inefficient or lost. He estimates that an average of seven days are lost from labor by sickness every year. Tuberculosis is gaining ground, and kills one out of every ten of thc population. Cancer kills one in twenty. Other maladies arc rapidly gaining ground. In England and Wales the insane are increasing twice as fast as the sane, and in France ten times as fast. Coupled with these alarming symptoms, there is the serious fact that the birth rate in nearly all civilized countries is rapidly declining. Dr. MacNeil!, superintendent of thc Mental Hospital at Baltlcford, Sask., matte the statement recently in a "public address* at Regina that at the present rate of increase of mentally deficient people there would not be enough mentally efficient people to look after them fifty years hence. N Iu support of his contention that present habits and methods of living are responsible for existing conditions, Dr. Kellogg draws attention lo one of the interesting lessons from thc- war, namely, the notable lowering of the death rate in several countries. In Denmark the death rate fell 35 per cent., clue in the opinion of Dr. Hindhcde, the'Danish food controller, to simpler habits of living, and especially the low-prolein diet and the use 'of coarse bread. In Germany, too, diabetes has practically disappeared from thc same cause, and gout, formerly very common, is now unknown. Good health is the greatest asset any person can possess. Wealth is of little value to a man if he does not possess good health so that he may enjoy ic. Without health no one can get much pleasure out of life. Lacking health no person can be wholly efficient. Ill-health is waste. Yet the best medical experts agree that, by taking proper precautions there is little reason for sickness, and that main- diseases which now number thcir victims by thc millions could be readily stamped out. Health studies and health conditions must bc given first place and foremost attention in our public schools. People must be made to understand that soundness of body is fundamentally essential in business, art, literature, politics and religion, as well as in warfare, sports and industry. By creating an enthusiasm for health promotion and physical perfection a long step forward will ,be taken towards, the realization of that better state for all people towards which the world is blindly groping. A popular, nationwide Crusade for Good' Health is imperative. . Governments can do much, but the main essential is an aroused and active interest on the part of every individual citizen. The promotion bf health is thc only real,- lasting and basic national policy for any country.

Rear-Admiral William Sowden Sims, whose pro-ally speeches in Great Britain havc resulted in his recall to Washington by the secrctaTy of thc United States navy, lived in Toronto with his father and mother when he was fifteen years of age. His father, who went from Philadelphia to Port Hope about 1854 as civil engineer on tlie construction of the railway from that town to-Lindsay, moved with his Canadian wife and two children ro Toronto in 1873 and became superintendent of the old Toronto and Nipissing Railway which ran from Toronto up through Beavertori and Cannington "to Coboconk where it now ends.

CHILDREN'S HABITS. Copyright, 1921, by Rea Proctor McGee. Habits formed in childhood are very difficult to break. Thc younger the child, the more quickly a habit is formed. - Thcir experience having been so limited, thcy very quickly become accustomed to almost any new diversion that may come thcir way. Many little thingsv that, at the time, seem trivial, will have a severe cflec-t-in after years. ��� - , One of tlie ."worst habits that a young child forms is that of thumb sucking. -Many mothers would rather havc the baby quiet than dissatisfied with life in general and raising Cain. But thc pacifying of the youngster by this method will cause a great deal of difficulty. When a child sucks its thumb it pushes the roof of tl^c mouth upward so that it makes a/very high arch; and as thc roof of the mouth is -thc floor of the nose, the nasal space is reduced and thc" septum of thc nose-is pushed over cither to life right or to the left���usually to thc left. Tlie upper "teeth in front, along" with thc bone in which thcy are imbedded, are pushed forward and upward, and thc lower front teeth and the surrounding bone are pushed inward and downward. Medicated dentifrices should not bc used by children. __ What thcy need is just thorough scrubbing of the teeth twice each da}' with clean water and a "mild, pleasant tooth paste or powder. - Japs Plan To Raft Timber From B. C. i New York city has a new seventeen story hotel for'the exclusive use of bachelors. -' V WOULD NOT BE WITHOUT BABY'S_0WN TABLETS, Mrs. W. Becsley, Mille Roche, Ont., writes "I have used Baby's Own Tablets for the past eight months arid "would not~~be_without them. I used them for indigestion and teething and my baby is cutting his teeth, without any trouble whatever. I can highly recommend the Tablets to other mothers." -What Mrs. Becsley says thousand of other mothers .say. Thc Tablets arc a mild but thorough laxative which regulate* thc bowels and sweeten _ the stomach, tints driving out constipation arid indigestion and making teething easy. They arc sold by medicine dealers or by" mail at 25 cents a box from Thc Dr.'.Williams Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. '- ' - Think Davis Structure Will Stand Trans-Pacific Passage 'A Japanese firm proposes to make another attempt to raft timber,from British Columbia to Japan."- Thcy believe that thc Davis raft structure, of which the outside rows bf logs are laced with cable, can be made to stand thc trans-Pacific passage. The first raft will leave this coast about August. It will have' a sitp>cr-struc- ture of piled logs, strongly laced. Hitherto rafted logs have not withstood long sea journeys, except one which. was taken from San Francisco to China about- twenty years ago. Favored by calm seas the raft was safely landed. The Chinese, however, unused to 'big logs, took ten years to cut up this boom, itsing long, hand rip saws to make the boards. , ���- SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON LESSON FOR JUNE 26. .- REVIEW: THE SOCIAL TASK OF THE CHURCH. Revelation 21;1-14 is the passage of Scripture selected for devotional reading. Instead of, attempting<to review the lessons of the quarter it would bc of great interest and profit to enter into a detailed .study of this Scripture. The following outline may be helpful/ I. The New Heaven and the New Earth, (vv. 1, 2);,IL The New People (vv. 3-8); III. The New Jerusalem (vv. 9-14). "" Another way would be to assign, the Golden Texts to different members of the class'asking them to give the part of the particular lesson which illustrates the teachings of the text. Still another way would- bcto summarize the different Scripture passages, giving the leading " lessons, of each. The following is given by way of suggeslion: ^"^ I. The believer's supreme obligation is to present himself as a living sacrifice to God. The grand reason for so doing is that he has received the mercies 6f:God. Thc one so yielded will lovc his fellow .believer sincerely. II. The believer's body is God's property���-the temple of the, Holy Ghost; therefore we arc under solemn obligation to use it for'His glory. III. Since God the Father and Jesus Christ work^it is incumbent.upon.all to work, ami the man,,who will not work should'not-eat. :���'������">��� V : -- . IV. God hates the grecd-that moves men to dishonest, methods in ofder to get rich. His judgment shall fall upon such.- V. True education will lead one to Christ. The one only book which tells about Him is the Biblc^ No one can call himself educated who is ignorant of the Bible. s- VI. God rested when His work of creation was done. On this basis He has established thc law of labor and rest." The obligation to cease from labor is that one may remember"God. VII. The church is an organism as the human body.

McCIellan, provincial veterinarian for Saskatchewan, states that one of the best ways of judging how cattle came through the winter is by observing the condition of animals at thc spring sales. By this test, their condition is incomparably better than a year ago. At the present time the general health of animals was never better." "The steadily increasing demand," says Dr. McCIellan, "for blackleg filtrate and vaccine, which is handled by the livestock branch for the convenience of veterinarians and stockmen, amply testifies to the intelligent attitude adopted by the stockmen of the province toward preventive animal medicine."

The government is to find a solution of the financial difficulties confronting the municipalities, according to a letter read to the City Council, in which the Hon. John Hart, minister of finance, stated that the promises made by Premier Oliver and himself in the past, that the financial position of the B. C. municipalities would be fully investigated, would be carried-, out. To aid the government in securing the necessary information a ques- tionaire was enclosed which it wap requested should be filled up and ^returned not later than June 30th, showing the financial position of the city. The document is a very lengthy one, the questions asked going back to 1911, but the city clerk stated that an effort would be made to [complete the return by June 30. The firm of McDiarmid and Shoe- bottom, of Vancouver, legal representatives for the city, reported that the letiou brought by the holders of overdue debentures had been deferred until September.

When you-hear this question asked by a man or woman, with lips curved downward and voice attuned to discontent, you may set that person down as supremely selfish. He or she asks practically,, "Is life worth living for me?" Worth living? .Of course it is, so long as there is one single other soul in the. world, If the querist were the last of his race, then indeed the answer might well be "no;" but while there is another human being for whom we can do a favor, or whose interests we may -advance, life is indeed worth living. Friend, when you find yoorself depressed and inclined to think that life holds nothing for you, look around you (not very>far away), and do the very first favor for another that comes to your hand. It may be a very small one, but do it; and keep on, day by day, hour by hour and minute by minute, working for others, for truly' this along makes life worth livinor. 7 o There is no good reason why a man should needlessly put his own wife to the trouble of wiping up the tracks, when he takes great pains to clean his feet before crossing his neighbor's threshold; neither is it consistent that women should be too severe on the husband and son for a little carelessness, when callers are assured, with the most gracious of smiles, "that it isn't ofJ the slightest conse- sequence."

Synopsis of Land Act Amendments More Assistance to Settlers Victoria, June 22.���Following the visit of Hon. E. D. Barrow, minister of agriculture,- to Central British Columbia, comes the announcement that- fuller assistance for settlers will he-provided by the provincial government. The minister is working out a plan whereby it is hoped to furnish settlers with improved machinery and ' 'progress loans," in cases where sufficient progress has been made to warrant the expenditure. The fullest encouragement is to be given to the formation of "cattle clubs" throuroughout the province. Government creameries will be established at points where the settlers have sufficient cows to support such an establishment. Music Hath Charms Two women were married to musicians.
