British Principles Sense of Honor is One of the Greatest. rt helps to make one proud to be a Britisher lo read some of Ihe lelters written to President; Wilson and Col. Mouse by Mr. Walter H. Page, who was United Stales Ambassador to Great Britain during the war. After making observations of the fortitude of British men and lhe sublime courage and self-sacrifice of���British women under the stress of war, Mr. Page in one of his letters exclaims: "I thank God3 that I am of their race and blood." Mr. Page's ..comments on the diplomatic conversations between Britain and the United States in regard to the Panama Canal tolls is equally interesting. Knowing that Britain always keeps her covenants, Mr. Page felt humiliated in the presence of British statesmen as a result of the record of his government, on the Panama question. He knew that the United States had violated a solemn compact���broken her covenant���and that has always been au almost unpardonable sin in the eyes of Britishers. Tho British sense-of honor and the knowledge that his own government was not as straightforward on the Panama question as it should be, made Mr. Page feel uncomfortable, and his appeal to Washington was almost pathetic. Iiyone of his letters home, Air. Page said: "Everywhere���in circles the most friendly to us, and the best informed ���r receive commisseration because of the dishonorable attitude of our Government about the Panama Canal 7olls. This, I confess, is hard to meet. We made a bargain��� a solemn compact���and we have broken it. Whether it were a good bargain or a bad one, a silly one or a wise one; that's far from-the point. Isn't if? I confess that this bothers me. ..."''-- : .������". ' - Mr. Page simply discovered, and ..-was deeply impressed -Vvith ��� ihe. British sense of honor, which js an outstanding' - trait of British" character and "an abiding principle of Biitish statesmanship.

Notwithstanding the fact (hat Saskatchewan contains some of the largest and most valuable clay deposits on the continent, only $300,000 worth of brick.and tile manufactured in the province were used in buildings that were erected in 1920, in connection with these materials to the value of ?S,379,774, were used. It is estimated that more than ?2S,000,000 worth of clay products were used in Western Canada in the same year. These figures are indications of the large market, right at the door, that awaits the development of the ceramic industry in this province. To promote this development a course of ceramics is being included in the chemistry and physics department of the University ot" Saskatoon, and W. G.

Qooi Than a' Score Boxes of Ordinary Ssivf Prayers For Peace Prince Is Thorough ��������� X Made Packer Unload Wagon When Wrong Count Was Made. Stories of the Prince of Wales's life at the ��� front illustrate his thoroughness and his conscientiousness where duty is concerned. In "Our Prince," Mr. Edward Legge tells how some of the packers of rations were occasionally in a lazy mood, and when counting the packets skipped numbers, as a result of this jndolence being that the men in the trenches went short of their rations. "Twenty-five," said a packer one day when the Prince was superintending the work. "I make it twenty," remarked the Prince. ��� "Un- 'or Easier Housework BY LORETTO C.

Montreal Aiming For Million Citizens Twenty-seven Bushels to Acre Against Thirty Last Year. Forty-eight million one hundred and twenty-five thousand bushels is the total of the wheat crop harvested in Manitoba this year according to tho estimate of the provincial department of agriculture just published. Tlie average yield to the acre is 13.75 bushels from an area of 3,500,000 planted to wheat. The crop is about 10,500,- 000 bushels greater than that of last year and is accounted for largely by the fact that there was an increase of about 800,000 acres in the area planted to wheat in 1920, due to an increased number of farmers operating. A larger area was also planted to aats this year than in 1920, but the average yield is smaller, being only twenty-seven bushels'" to the acre as against 30.75 obtained last; year. The average yield of barley this year is estimated at 21.50 bushels to the acre which is half a bushel more than last year's average. Population Increased 400 Per Cent. In Twenty Years.

It is significant that it was a" Bud- Poreiffll Market dhist priest who followed a delegation from the churches of America in calling upon the President in this cause a few days ago. Gen.

The U.S. Bureau of Standards recommends a furniture .polish made by mixing one pari'raw linseed oil with two parts turpentine and adding a. little melted beeswax if desired. Sometimes there are finger or other marks upon furniture, especially dining tables, which may be removed by a cloth wrung out of lukewarm suds made with neutral soap. Although, as a rule, it is better not to use soapsuds or even water on any varnished or oiled or waxed surfaces. Leather furniture coverings last longer and look better if rubbed occasionally, with castor oil or a commercial leather polish. The oil helps restore the original oil that gradually dries out. The castor oil should be used sparingly and well rubbed in. Care must be used to remove all excess, otherwise this film of oil will collect and hold dirt which will darken the leather and soil whatever touches it. For upholstery, either a vacuum or a brush is the most effectwe.-1 A soft brush is best for velvet and velour/a. stiffer one for' tapestry and other strong materials and a pointed on'e for tufted upholstered.

"It sounds unreasonable, but 1 have actually gained 20 pounds in less than a month's time by taking Tanlac and the wonderful benefit I have derived from the use of this medicine is simply astonishing," said Mrs. Koso M.Brown, 111 Third 'Street, Manchester, N.

'Up- to. the time I began taking Tanlac, I suffered for something over two years with a very bad form of stomach trouble. "My appetite was so poor I could scarcely eat a thing. My stomach would be so badly bloated with gas sometimes I was almost afraid to go to bed for fear 1 would actually smother.' I felt tired and worn out most of the time and became terribly discouraged over my condition. 1 often had such violent: headaches I was unable to be out of bed lor. two or three days at a stretch. '' "Four bottles of Tanlac completely restored my health and anyone can see at a glance tho wonderful change that has taken place in my condition.

' Readers may be relieved to know that it is travelling away from us, but even if it/were comnig our. way there would bo nothing to fear, as many thousands, perhaps millions, of years would elapse before it, could reach us. How it manages to remain-intact while travelling at such a dizzy speed is a mystery. Equally mysterious is the manner in which it \yas able to get up such a speed. The most probable explanations are_ that it has been shot from some gigantic sun belonging to a-universe of stars far beyond those we - can see, oi- that it is a gradual accumulation of gas or gases which ultimately will be formed into stars such as we see a,round us at night.

Chicago. ��� The railway strike, scheduled for October 30, was averted when leaders of the switchmen, trainmen, conductors, engineers and firemen at a joint meeting adopted resolutions withdrawing authorization of a walkout, and officials of -.the railway telegraphers' organization announced , they would take similar action. These were the only unions which had au-"" thorhje-d a strike. The vole calling off the strike was unanimous by organizations, W. G. Lee, president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, announced. The official wording of the ��� resolution adopted was that the strike be declared not effective. -�� The vote iu the individual unions was unusually close, however, the firemen particularly holding lengthy arguments before agreeing to cancellation of the strike order, the labor chieftians said. In some of the groups the ballot was described as "the closest in history on a similar question." All of the differences were ironed out by the different unions, however, and the final showdown found them all casting their ballots for "no strike." L. E. Sheppard, president of the Order of Railway Conductors, said that the unions had decided to call off the strike because of the growing public opinion that the strike would be against the labor board, and consequently the government, and not against the railroads. ���"It was evident also that the Washington administration was opposed to us, and that we have held little chance of gaining' Sheppard. , "We called this strike to gain" certain-'rights to which our men were entitled," Mr. Sheppard told the Associated Press. "It soon became evident, however, that the roads were succeeding in their misleading propaganda to the effect that we really would be striking against the goveFnment. "This railroad propaganda found its way to the United States labor board. �� This government agency told us that it would look on a strike as against it and tlie government, and U.S. Engineer Suggests Counter-Action j not against _the roads, and that the full iorce of the government would be brought to bear against us if we walked out.

Taxation V Victoria, Nov.\~2���Periiaps.no problem which has loomed'-'iipon. the legislative horizon during the past few years has assumed, such importance in the eyes, of the general public as that pertaining to municipal taxation. More money is needed by nearly every administrative body in British" Columbia, while the government 'must have more revenue in order to keep pace with expenditures.. Every possible source of revenue has been under consideration, from, appropriating half the wealth of the rich down to taxing gasoline."-' The govern: ment proposed'giving the municipalities the personal property tax, but this many of the larger centres will hot have.., v�� strong complaint has gone up from.'industrial heads all over the province, to. the effect, that such a step .would: result in the1 stagnation of industry; and even the removal of many firms from the province in order to avoid the-increased burden.. .;-. An increase in the income tax may be looked for, while there is a strong indication that the govern- menVwill collect something from every dollar, earned in British Col- nmbiaj regardless of who earns it. Members of the legislature, of both parties, have expressed disapproval 7of this, claiming that the man with. a small income���and referring par- . ticularly to the ���'��� workingman-- needs all he has. The 7asees8ment . proposed amounts to one per;cent., which, means that the man earning 8125 per month would contribute $1.25 per month in taxes,, of.- $15 ���.per year.

Having been a resident of this constituency for the last 2S years, and having spent sixteen years of that period on the Kelowna council, of which place I have had the honor of being Mayor for eleven years, the Convention deemed it was time for me to enter the wider sphere of Dominion Politics. Being a laud owner and also engaged in financial and commercial business in Kelowna, I recognise that the interests of the whole Valley are vitally concerned in the present election. We have a great opportunity to advance these interests by relieving ' both farmers and business men from the ever growing burden of taxation which" is sapping the vitality of the whole country. It is utterly impossible to stimulate production unless the people have an opportunity, not only of earning a living, but of saving money and investing such savings in further development. Taxation is the only method available to any government to raise revenue to pay its obligations. These obligations in Canada are first the interest, which amounts to 8125,000,000 annually, ou the National debt, of which sum $115,000,000 is to cover the debt of honor caused by the war. Second the cost of government administration, "which comes to 8140,000,000 a year; third and most vital of all is the annual deficit caused bj7 owning, operating and maintaining the National Railway system, which in 1920.amounted to over. $100,- 000,-000���-it .has been estimated to be as much as,��150,000,000. Now it is obvious that until; this appalling.drain on our national expenditure is eliminated, the whole country must suffer. There is no other issue combarablo to this. . ; ��� Tariffs . are by-, no means" the most important issue, if the manufacturing intfirestsof this country are to be protected, the, agricultural interests, which are. the basic industry, have afar greater claim to. protection.' '' - , .-'���.-. The losses in operating and administration of .the National Railways must be, stopped and our resources developed by n. proper railway and immigration policy, V 7 . . The whole future of Canada is at stake; Our.credit is being L ruined by our apparent apathy, .to.these loses and our seeming inability to stop them. In consrquence our. production,. on which our credit is based, is being \throttled. It is obvious that . if these vast sums, which are being sunk in a quicksand of ���unproductiveness, can be saved and turned into the channels of , production; unemployment can be: overcome, taxation can be ��� reduced and prosperity.established. / -.7--- . For this, reason I am appealing "to 7 the .electors' -of the Yale' ��� constituency, to exercise their franchise on my-behalf.

A pilot must be chosen possessing the necessary courage, foresight, -breadth of vision and determination to lead the nation safely out of tlie existing economic uncertainty. And one man stands out head and shoulders above all,others as pre-eminently fitted for the task. Born on a farm near St. Mary's, Ontario, Arthur Meighen is a true son of the people, a^toiler who - has fought his way to eminence by sheer ability and force of intellect. Entered Parliament in 1908; appointed Solicitor-General in 1914; Minister of the Interior, in 1917; and Prime Minister in 1920. At the Imperial Conference he was acclaimed by the Press of Great Britain as a great statesman, as a strong, virile, vigorous personality���alert in mind, keen and far-seeing in judgment, and with a fearless determination to stand for the right. Professor A. D. Skelton, of Queen's University, and biographer of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, wrote of the present Prime Minister.:���" He has already given proof of high administrative capacity. His personal integrity'is beyond question." Of himself, Arthuiv Meighen said to his constituents the other day : ���"You know where I stood on this issue in 1908, in 1911, and as in 1911 I stand to-day.'- ��� ��� " A Real Force A Real Leader The Consolidated Mining & Smelting Co. of Canada, Limited .
