VVW/V.7/.-: Laffalot Girls Concert The Laffalot Girls Club concert given in the Greenwood Theatre last Friday night was a great success and went beyond the expectations of even the most sanguine. The hall was packed and this, owing to the bad weather, proved the great interest that was taken in the splendid efforts . of the girls. Every number was enthusiastically encored and the audience was kept in uproars from beginning to end. All the girls were so good that it is difficult to specialize on any particular number,- but great praise must be given to each and every one for such an excellent programme and credit must also be given to those who undertook the arduous task of training the girls. The Midway quartette must be mentioned for merit as well as the Misses Bush and Sharpe, of Midway, not forgetting the dance by the Misses Wright, of Nelson. ��� The main attraction was the one act farce "Old Maid's Convention." This act introduced many new features, and the comical incidents occurring every minute made the play replete with fun. Over S100 was taken in afe the wicket and added to this is the proceeds of the supper and dance. After all expenses are paid the proceeds -. will go ���fco towards the Greenwood and District Hospital. The Dance after the concert was' well attended and greatly enjoyed by all present.

" ; ���What People Read W Dependence Upon Natural Resources For Our Lighting System The Natural Resources Intelligence Service of tlie Department of the Interior at Otiawa says: The present short hours of daylight! and the necessity of using artificial light Iliai we may carry on our duties for lhe customary length of " time, should bring to the mind of those giving serious consideration to every-day problems our absolute dependence upon natural resources for our lighting system, be it electric, gas or coal oil illumination. The generation of electric light. (���whether the primary power be water- power or coal, its distribution, over metallic wires, using insulators of various non-metallic minerals, and wooden or metal poles, and its final availability in the form of the electric bulb, a combination of mineral products, emphasizes tho close association of- various natural resources in providing this great: convenience.. Our gas supply, similarly, is due to the combustion of a number of natural resources. Artificial gas is largely made from coal, gas, oil and-water, till miuerals, and reaches tho consumer through metallic conduits. Natural gas, wiih which many of our municipalities are fortunately provided, is another natural resource of great value. KV071 tlie passing wax candle is the product of the same crude oil, the par- alline wax being distilled from the. residue after the gasoline, -kerosene and gas oil are removed. It will readily be seen and no doubt appreciated ihai the development of Canada's naiural resources is; producing a variety of illuminants which contribute in no small measure to the comfort and necessity of our people, both in their homes and in industry. Acetylene- gas is produced by the action of water upon calcium carbide., the latter produced by fhe heating of coke and lime to a high temperature. Kerosene, or coal oil, used t'nr lighting purposes, is a distillate or crude oil, a natural resource of which Canada in 192J! produced o_..Iy 17]. 902 barrels. ���' Iti t;:e.search for supplies .or/ oil,'-however, great, activity is now. .faking 'placo.-Jn. many-, portions -of ihe country.". =V .."- __-'-- ;��� .7. ,"���" '-.-'--���* , Find Fossilized Bones '_' Energetic Educational Campaign Is To Be Carried On Organized only six years ago, the Canadian National Committee for Mental Hygiene has already met wiih a degree of success far beyond any the originators dared hope for, Dr. C.

But though much has been accomplished the great work of the organization lies ahead, its field a practically limitless one. It was decided to carry on an energetic educational campaign aud arrangements were made for the appropriation of money for the extensive mental hygiene activities in. tho more outlying parts of the dominion, particularly in the western provinces, where there are the best of opportunities for demonstrating the value of mental hygiene. Dr. Charles F. Martin was elected president for the ensuing year and Dr. J. G. McKay, New Westminster, K.C., was appointed associated medical director, Drs. J. Hal penny aud A. T.

St. Taul de Metis district of Alberia, this year. In accordance with oft repeated advice, Mr. Belzll inclined towards cows and pigs for production of present cash'and the result of'his wisdom was that these branches of his .Industry paid for the operation of fhe farm and the living expenses of the family, ft so happened that his grain crops also prospered, and according to colonization ollicials of the Canadian National Hallways he harvested 1.1,000 bushels. His'' wheat yielded 35' bushels to the aero and totalled 3,000 No. 1 Northern. His oats gave Go bushels per acre ana lie marketed 6,000. first-class seed.

Cairo.���-Major-General Sir Lee Oliver Stack.cGovernor-General of the Sudan and Sirdar of the Egyptian army since 1919, has succumbed to the bullets of assassins. The Sirdar was attacked by a group of men, who-, failing to achieve iheir purpose with a bomb, opened Are on him with revolvers. General Stack was wounded in the abdomen, the hand and the foot, one of the bullets passing under the lung. From the flrst, his condition was serious, and there was' very slight hope that he would recover. The whole country is profoundly shocked at the^outrageVand the gravity of" the situation is everywhere realized. The press denounces the crime in the strongest terms. The Zagloulist papers unanimously declare that Egypt's honor demands the discovery of the culprits and their exemplary punishment. 7 Nothing, they assert, will be. neglected "to wash away the" bloody stain on the country's honor." ' London.���The announcement from . Cairo of the death of Major-General Sir Lee Stack has aroused tense feeling in London. The British cabinet .-held-'a spesially. summoned council, probably for the-: purpose of discussing the outrage and policy to be followed. Although the King of Egypt and the Sudan authorities have taken a correct attitude, it is expected that the Uritish Government will dispatch a strong note insisting on prompt satisfaction .for the assassination and guarantees for cesation of anti-British propaganda.

London.���A. schema by which the Baldwin Government could extend reciprocal treatment to the Dominions in the meat trade, without causing a fiscal controversy, and without increasing the cost of living here, or imposing a tariff on foreign commodities, is being considered by the government, according-to. The Morning Post. The idea is to estimate the home consumption of meats- for six months ahead, and to permit the Dominions to supply, under a license,, whatever the d��ficiency is likely to be after the home supply of meat is exhausted. If the Dominions cannot supply enough meat to".meet the deficiency in the home supply, the Post says, the proposition is io then allow meat from foreign countries to-be admitted under a license.

MAY CALL CONFERENCE ON DISARMAMENT Washington���The prevailing view in Washington is that if the League of Nations abandons its proposed disarmament conference, President .Coolidge will call another conference, dealing with reduction of land and naval armament. Although the White House has not announced any intention to do this since news caine of the British action with regard to the~Gen- eva protocol on security and.disarma- ment, feeling here is that President Coolidge will be forced to act. It is felt that his earlier utterances have made it impossible for him to avoid calling sucii a conference. Geneva.���Great Britain's ������ request that tho coming session of thc League of Nations in Rome should not take up the question^ of the Geneva protocol on security and disarmament, will mean adjournment of the arm conference until J 926, with the possibility of a revision of tho protocol itself at the next assembly meeting, it is deemed in oflicial circles here. Officials; however, are careful to' Insist that postponement does not. mean abandonment,, emphasizing that it ls best to proceed slowly,- MONTAGU NORMAN who alis been recommended for reelection as the governor of tho Bank of England.

The British Government is understood to be unwilling to cancel the levy while tho Germans are demanding that it be abolished before a .satisfactory treaty can be drawn up.

Terhune Mail Christmas Parcels Early Now is the time to see about those Christmas presents yoa are going to send to your friends and relatives. The earlier you mail them the better'chance your parcels have of reaching their destination before Christmas. A great many people wait until the last few days before Christmas at a time when the Post OiBce is choked up with mail. Consequently, there is bound to be a certain amount of delay to some parcels and yours may be among the unlucky ones. 80 when we ask you to have your parcels mailed as early as possible, you can see that it ist for your own good. Above all, be sure to wrap tbem carefully as a tremendous amount of mail passes through the Post Office during the Christmas season. If you do this, your parcels will stand the strain of Christmas mail conditions and arrive in good order. News from the Legislature Victoria, Nov. 26.���When the Legislature adjourned over last week-end half the present session had passed into history, and despite the dire predictions of opponents of the Oliver administration, nothing in fehe form of a political'* calamity was even sensed' let alone experienced. Shrewd leadership averted the few danger points, aad it had become apparent that the government would have no difficulty in passing through the session without embarrassment. The funeral of the late D. A. Terhune, of Westbridge, who died on Friday, Nov. 21sfe at the Grand Forks Hospital, was held oh Sunday 23rd inst in Grand Forks, and was largely attended by friends aud acquaintances from Rock Creek and the Upriver districts. The funeral was under the auspices of the G. W. V. A. aud Rev. F. E. Runnalls,, of the United Church, officiated at the burial. Although the late Mr. Terhune was a Btranger in Grand Forks the citizens helped in every possible way, D McPherson kindly provided a car for the occasion. Private David A. Terhune belonged to the second Canadian Mounted Rifles and being disabled in the Great War was honorably discharged on March 18, 1918. Members .of the..
