Popular Residents Leave It is with much regret that the writer has to report the departure of Mrs. George Clerf and son, Lewis from Greenwood to Kimberley. This lady has 'been one of the most loyal and earnest workers for the good of Greenwood for many years, this in a social -capacity. Whenever a dance, entertainment or any public social function needed assistance she was always the first to respond. Mrs. Clerf must have made more cakes and other refreshments for the use of these functions than can be estimated. Her cheerfulness, energy and ever-ready wit liave made many a supper and dance successful. Everyone will miss Mrs. Clerf very .much, but all wish her most heartily, prosperity and happiness in her new sphere at Kimberley, where Mr. ,Clerf is employed. Captured a Coyote . Two young men from Republic captured a live coyote on the Adam's ranch, Mam River, last week, by lassoing it.

Tho prairie provinces of Western Can ada are now rejoicing in. tlio Invasion to which tliey are. subjected once a year. Not many countries liad il a mutter for congratulation Lo be invaded by an army of tens of thousands of husky men wlio', after a few months, depart taking substantial sums of money with Lliem. But the West rejoices,' extends u waiitu welcome, and holds out. the hand of friendship to these .men because it is a peaceable iirmy 'or,constructive laborers without whose help tlio Weat would sniffer immense Iosb. --. *.-. The coming of this army of harvesters is ahvays an important event, it signifies the last stage of worlc in connection witli* the garnering of the crops whicli the Western fanner has expended so much labor and. lias followed with alternate hopes and fears through all lhe vicissitudes of plowing, harrowing, seeding, lack or'over abundance of rain, hail, winds; and numerous plant posts. This 'army lias, come to assist liini in finally reaping 'lho reward of his labor and hours of anxiety. The hum of the binder, the li-auiiforniation of the fields of rippling grain iiito stook dotted yellow prairie, and the rattle audi roar oC tho threshing outfits is music in the farmer's oars, and a picture upon which lie is never tired of looking. The advance'guard of tlie harvester army came from British Columbia, with a sprinkling from the British Isles; then the long trains bringing their quota Croiii the far distant Maritimes; finally the main army from Ontario nnd Quebec. Many of Iheso men arc veterans who,served/ in previous years' campaigns agaiiist Lhc standing grain, but, undoubtedly, the larger number aro young recruits, who will see and experience Iifo in the prairie West for ihc first time. Thousands,of'lliem are exactly the typo this Western country wants as permanent settlers. Indeed/, all over the West are to be found among the most successful farmers men who first came as'harvester hands, men who with their "faanilies are now" making a great contribution to the growth, development and prosperity of this portion of'the Dominion. y In welcoming this year's harvester "army, and putting it to Avork, the resident farmers of Western Canada should, do what lies iii,their power to make living conditions as comfortable for the men as possible. Most men do iiot,m':rid things a bit crude and rough provided they arc clean. Long hours, and hard work in the lields call, not only for the wages paid, but good, food and lots of it and a comfortable-bed on which to lie5 at night. The provision of such things means contented workers, lit as fiddles, who are willing and capable of rendering maximum results during woriung hours. ..,.'������ Tho people of the West should strive, not to coddle the members of the harvester army, but to njake converts of them to the glories of the West, the. advantages and opportunities it has to offer.'' The. West wants as many as possible to remain'as permanent settlers, but it is equally important: to Llie future of this country that those who return homo do so with nothing but words of praise for the country and. of llie fair treatment and hospitality accorded ihcm. ,r, ���;.,; ": 7 7 ;'.'���*. . . '['���': ' And tho harvesters themselves should not be hasty. in "jumping to conclusions when conditions donot wholly appeal to them. They..must realize that this is a. period/ of stress, when straining efforts to the breaking point, is necessary, and where, in many cases, it is financially and -economically impossible to make as complete preparation in some respects as might be. desired. The harvesters should study the country, try to enter into it's spirit, and methods, and closely investigate its possibilities with a view to deciding whether it would bo to' their advantage to throw in their lot with those who have done the pioneer work. * '*".

The truth may as well bo faced, says the Nairn al Resources Intelligence Servico of tho Department of tho Interior, -that the bro"wn rat, native of China', and scourge of all Europe, is Booking to add one more Province of Canada, to his habitat; Ever and anon ho continues his ��� westward inarch, andi it will require tho most united and intelligent warfare to stem, his migration. Mice are bad enough, but tlie brown rat is infinitely worse, and oue can conjecture the toll he will take if ho becomes firmly established in the greatest granary of the British Empire. A few years ago it was^ thought that the long, hard winters of Western Canada would prove a deterrent to colonization of'that country by rats, but , they gradually migrated from the East and spread over Southern Manitoba; -Now thcy havo reached thc Qu'Appelle district of Saskatchewan, and they are known lo have burrowed under a straw stack and found sufficient shelter for the winter. Tho. brown rat is omnivorous in its diet and eats anything edible, vegetable or animal, even leather fabrics. It attacks poultry, destroying eggs and chickens; fish and fruit aro equally acceptable with all kinds of meat, groceries and vegetables; it will cat ils own -weaker brothers and sisters if pressed for food, and has' not infrequently attacked helpless human beings. It' visits.-se.wers 'and other filthy, places, carrying and scattering tho germs of disease. Thc gppher is pest enough in the West without this latest intruder, whicli in its omnivorous habits and disease carrying propensities ranks as far more dangerous. 'The whole of Canada should rise up and/ wipe out these' pests, and evidence is,not lacking that lhc war*is on in earnest in somc municipalities, where boun- lies on rat tails havo been announced. Individuals should not wait for a bounty, however, but should declare war on the first invasion of their territory, and with widespread recognition of the'danger, and concerted action, it ought to be possible jio'r a young and/ vigorous country, in wliich selllemenl is not too dense, to'win out, even though ' older . and moro thickly populated countries, hampered by ancient saiiitary systems and less modern livinft conditions, have failed, Mrs. J.
