Why, city houses called upon to support every public enterprise in all the towns in which they sell goods as all the' retailers do, and arc expected to do, a considerable hole would bc made 'in' their profits, and their increased overhead expenses would result iii increased selling prices. What thc local merchant doei for his community in these days should not be overlooked. Th Representatives Urged Their Views With Vigor Before Commission Pans. ��� The new draft of the covenant is generally regarded as a great i improvement upon that which was iirst presented.

To Cure Common Ailments the Blood Must be Made Kich and Red Nearly all the common diseases lhat afrlici mankind arc caused by . bad blood���weak, watery blood poisoned ! by impurities. -Bad blood is the cause of headaches and backaches, lumbago aud rheumatism, debility and indigestion, neuralgia, sciatica and other nerve troubles, lt is bad blood that causes disfiguring skin diseases like eczema, and salt rheum, pimples and eruptions. The severity of the trouble, indicates how impure the blood is, and it goes always from bad to worse unless steps are promptly taken to enrich and purify the. blood. There is ized, thc more difficult it will be tojtution of thc league is that it will build up a bright,- attractive,: prosperous local community; thc more thc town merchants arc patronized, the better service thcy will be , able to render, the-greater variety and volume of stocks thcy can carry,-the closer they can make their prices because the overhead charges of conducting thc store would be less in proportion to the volume of business done. This is an age of co-operation, and farmer and town merchant should make it a practice to loyally co-operate the one with the other. lioth have everything lo gain and nothing to lose by such action. Wheat For New Zealand bring to thc world first hand discussions of world affairs. Through this understanding goodwill and co-operation iu maintaining world peace will naturallv follow. Bolsheviki Flotilla Captured Hclsingfors. ��� The newspapers report that Finnish volunteers captured the town of Lotinanpolto, on the White sea. Thc^tbwn is an important strategic point, being thr. junction of numerous roads and the railway between Tc-trograd and the Murmansk coast, which is now closed to thc Bolshcviki. ft is assumed that thc Bolsheviki torpedo boat flotilla at Lotinanpolto was unable to escape owing to thc ice. War Munitions Stolen Daring Raid at Collinstown Causes Grave Apprehension Dublin. ��� -The audacity of thc raid for arms at Collinstown airdrome has aroused public opinion to lhe gravity of th.e situation here. None of the numerous events which have occurred throughout the country in the last few months has brought home with such force the danger which threatens. This is probably due to thc fact that the raid took place within au hour's walk of the city and also to the importance of thc capture. Seventy or eighty-rifles with, adequate ''ammunition in the. hands of men of thc daring displayed by those who entered the airdrome and gagged the guards, cannot fail to make a deep impression? Obviously these men did not take thc risk for nothing, and it requires little imagination to conjure up what thcy may do with the weapons. The Irish Times points out lhal the raid was an even more audacious defiance of thc law than any of thc premonitory' symptoms of the 1916 rcbelliouZ It is recalled that recently men ��� wearing the King's uniform havc been murdered, that quantities of explosives -have been seized in various parts of thc "country, that many raids for arms have taken place with considerable success, and that in no instance has anyone been made aincn-. able. Those facts, to which havc now Unless Allied Governments First Agree on United Proposal Rome. ��� The Italian delegates to thc peace, conference met under thc chairmanship of Premier Oilando to consider the situation. The meeting came aflcr conferences thc premier had had T\\ith the king and 'United States Ambassador Page, The Giorn.de dTlalia says that in political circles thc meeting- was considcied to be vciy important. Although the Italian delegates maintain strict reserve, it seems conclusive that Ttaly will not make any further move unless thc allied and associated governments fust agree among themselves on a united proposal which- likely would bc acceptable to this country, haimonizlng with thc verdict of the Italian people made through parliament. ��������>.�����.��.................. ..��..��. ���..,..��..,..��..��..���..��.������..���..���..

The delivery of the treaty and the first exchanges with the Germans, therefore,- will occur* without the participation of Italy, and it is said that this procedure will go forward steadily up till the signing of thc treay. When thc first reading wit hthc Germans occui s the pact will bc presented. A day or two will be given foi questions concerning interpretations of different phases of thc convention, without, " however, involving a prolonged discussion. The French view ,is that thc German may ask for two weeks' delay to permit them to return to Weimar, with an additional Week for discussion of thc points presented aftcr their return from thc temporary German capital. This is a matter of conjecture, however, as there is no piccisc information as to Germany's intentions. Reports from Beilin are somewhat contradictory concerning- Germany's puipoics, as sonic repot ts indicate that an early signing of thc treaty is probable, while others say that it is doubtful whether thc pact will bc signed al all. These reports, coming fiom different sources, indicate a lack of concerted altitude as to thc treaty and show there is disposition to leave the decision laigcly with thc German plenipotentiaries who are now at Vei sailles. _ Riots in Spain Madrid. ��� Ten persons wcic killed, 16 seriously injured and a largc number slightly wounded in disordcis arising fiom demonstrations of protest against the high cost of living in the province of Tarancon.

For forty ycais she built up a vast military machine at home, and for forty years, through well planned and skillfully executed propaganda throughout thc world,-she taught thc gospel of her superior efficiency. This latter to such an extent and so successfully that, by 1914, to usc an expressive though slangy expression, she had lhe world "buffaloed." This is not to say Germany was not trfificient, not superlatively organized, for shc was. Xot only was the theoiy of efficiency talked on cvciy occasion, but it was demonstrated in her manufactured products ancl thc thoroughness ot her immense export trade. If a German manufacturer could not compete in any foreign port with any aiticle made elsewhere, Ids government promptly came to his relief with lower ocean freight rates, or some other form of subsidy. The natural result of all this was to create and foster a world-wide conviction that Germany was a supcrnation, head and shoulders above all others, and therefore ^impregnable. To resist Germany when she set out to- conquer was lo invite and insure disaster. In short, ihe expectation was to destroy in advance a world morale, and thus reduce successful conquest to its simplest terms. This system vvas not without its tc- stilts and effect. Thc German at home, and " with few exceptions abroad, was absolutely grounded in thc conviction that the fatherland vvas invincible. Wc can each recall those Germans in this country, including those who had been naturalized here for many years, and who eventually took sides with the United States against Germany, who in 1914, 1915 and 1916~w"cre both indignant and angry at any suggestion of German failure, or of responsibility for starting the war. It is quite true that, in thc early days of thc struggle, victory perched on German banners, and the tide of battle flowed one way. This apparently was proof of the claim of supcrnation. What with millions of men with ycars of thc most severe military .training: guns __with undreamed-of range, throwing shells of unheard-of tize; ncw explosives of uncqualcd power and violence; airships; submarines; gas shells; liquid fire, and all thc other ucw-in-civilizcd warfare weapons, thc claim apparently was established. Thc world seemed voiceless to refute thc assertion. Then gradually���so slowly at first there seemed no progress whatever��� -lhc allies began where Germany had commenced forty ycars ago, to gird up their loins. It was slow work��� that of fighting a defensive battle againbt vastly unequal odds with one hand and building an offensive with the other. Thc conditions were supremely hard, for it is one thing to plan and invent and experiment and construct and lest out, all under the conditions of peace, and 'quite another lo commence at thc foundation to do thc same when carrying on a war. In only a little more, than four ycars, thc allies had searched*out and organized their inventive and scientific minds, their chemists, their builders of guns-and submarine's and air ��raft, and had brought, their fighting machinery���-with thc exception"of,the ?6-mi!c gun���up to thc standard which Germany had required forty years to accomplish, and in some respects had gone, even better. With thc advent of the United States came A tremendous impulse of inventive accomplishment which in scarcely more than a year had conceived, and made in vast quantities, weapons in com- stanlly annihilate any aimy into whose ranks ii is hurled. Had thc armistice been delayed only a few days, there would not havc been left alive a single soldier in all thc Mctz fortifications. A few planes hovering so far above its guns as to be mcic specks iu the sky; a few gas bombs dropped among the forts and a few moments later, not a living soul left lo challenge or surrender. And this shell, ihe result of only a few months' effort, makes thc Gcrmair picparation of forty years as the snail i< to a hare. These words arc not written for the purpose of any self-laudation of what thc allies accomplished cliicfly in thirty-sk months, although deserved. History will emphasize this fact far beyond what the most of us realize today. The essential thing wc should giasp is, not lo permit ourselves to accept in future as wc have in thc pasl, without question, what is declared to us by Germany, for there is cvciy reason to believe that a country which found its deceptive propaganda so profitable in ycars gone by is not going to abandon its foi nulla when wc once-more settle down to peace, conditions. "Wc may, with equal advantage, each one for himself, question the integrity and motive of many statements which arc made with so much assurance, and which we meekly accept without any other proof and authority than that of thc speaker's-word, lf what wc are urged to believe is so, it is capable of proof; if the evidence docs not support the statement, we simply delude ourselves. Docs anyone imagine lhat, if thc German people who were alive on that fateful August day, 1914, could havc knowirwhat i.s known now, thcy would havc gone into thc war? Shortage Of Farm Help The Demand Is Far in Excess of the Supply Regina. ��� Hon. Charles A. Dunning, minister in charge of thc bureau of labor for the province of Saskatchewan, says that there will bc a shoitagc of farm labor in the province this spring despite all the efforts of thc department to bring in men. "Wc realized over a month ago that there would bc a shortage," said Mr. Dunning, "and decided that at least two thousand men would havc to bc brought in from other provinces if thc demand was to be met. Wc immediately took up the question with thc Dominion immigration official the central clearing houses of the various provincial employment offices throughout Canada, and have done all in our power to bring in men, but we find the demand far greater than thc supply. "We have made a special effort lo secure men from British Columbia, as this is thc season of tlie ycar when there is not such a heavy call for la- -bor at the coast, ?iid although it is always difficult lo peisuadc men from Briiish Columbia lo come to the prairie provinces, we were fortunate in securing about 475 experienced farm hands from that province. Most of these men went direct to thc farms but a number were distributed from thc provincial employment agencies at Saskatoon, Regina, Moose Jaw and other points. "From Kaslcrn Canada -we-wcic able to secure only.about 350 men. Wc arc hoping for a few hundred more from different sources although wc cannot possibly secure enough men to satisfy thc needs of the many districts which are reporting marked shortages of farm help." Prospectors Could Be Landed ��� Unprospectcd Regions With Supplies The Dominion mc-mbci foi the Yukon, Dr. Thompson, has entered a strong appeal for the employment of aii ships of ihe Britisii K-33 type for the development of communications with the Yukon. He points out that from lidmonton to Herschel Island, on thc Arctic, would be only about twenty hours' flight, at the late the R-33 is expected to travel. From Edmonton to Dawson City would bc only fifteen hours. Since dirigibles of the R-33 type can lifc from 30 to 60 tons, it should bc possible to usc thcin with ���advantage in transportation in the far north. There are airplanes that can carry several tons, but the distance.-, they tiavel, at one flight, arc ccmpai ativel,', short, and gasoline supply difficulties limit theni to a moderate radius from tlicir stations. The ��as bag dirigible can slay aloft a week or two. AP70 or 80 miles an horn it ran cross the Atlantic and return within a week. A German Zeppelin went from Bulgaria lo German Kasl Africa and bark without landing. This is a longer trip than any that would bc required in the far north. ]f suitable termini were available at certain points in the Yukon, and perhaps at the mouth of thc Mackenzie rivci, prospectors could be landed in thc unprospectcd regions, with plenty of supplies, and communication kept up wilh them at periods. If, says thc Toronto Mail and Empire in commenting on Dr. Thompson's suggestion, Canada has to wait until the giowth of population, or the discovery of vast mineral riches, makes tailioad extension advisable to these distant regions, it will wait a long time. It declares that thc air is the natural medium of tiansport in this case, and urges Dr. Thompson to press his case. The development of the airship, following a successful tians-Atlantic flight, ought lo bring ibis proposal into the arena of practical ;>flairs.

Observer Lands On Mule Forced to Drop When Attacked by Combat Plane An observer attached to thc first army had been up for several hours making notes on enemy infantry oi- crations when he was suddenly a- tacked by a single scat combat pla> e, says thc -May Popular Mechanics Magazine. Thc balloon crew on he ground immediately began to haul the big gas bag down, but lhc observer was miming no chances and look to his parachute. This drifted well back of the lines ancl deposited him in thc midst of a number of grazing army mules, and right astride one mule.

Unloading Grain By Air Power The two powerful floating pneumatic grain elevators recently put into service at the. port of London arc admirable examples of modern British labor-saving equipment. Each elevator floats on a 00-foot pontoon carrying a 220 horse power oil engine which drives a high speed turbo-cx- hattstor by means of which a partial vacuum is caused in a suction pipe line. Thc air rushing in at thc free end of thc line sucks up the grain from the vessel's hold and deposits it in a receiving chamber, from which il is discharged through a valve and thereafter handled mechanically. Two suction pipes arc provided with each (float and they are raised and lowered by means of an electric winch driven by an explosion-proof electric motor. A similar type of motor( rendered necessary by thc inflammable dust raised in handling grain) drives an elevator which delivers the grain into a weigh house, where thc grain is automatically weighed. Thence it passes through shoots into sacks or into hopper baiges rlongsidc the pontoon. A 35 horse power oil engine supplies the current for power and lighting purposes. All the plant and equipment wcrc , British throughout. Pneumatic elevators of this type not only save labor by thoroughly cleaning out a ship's hold without rc- trimming, but they arc much healthier for .the workmen than any other equipment, as special machinery is used for exti acting thc dust. Both pontoons havc been in .regular service for some time and have proved thoroughly satisfactory. Each has .a capacity of 100-tons pcr hour when working with wheal. Greater Demand for Wool Regina, Sask. ��� High prices for wool, mutton and lambs for sonic years to conic, is prophesied by Professor W._ II. J. Tisdalc oT the University of Saskatchewan. Thc professor believes that thc price of wool this ycar will nol fall below 45 or SO^ecnts pcr pound and may go even higher. Sir Arthur Goldfinch, one of thc greatest living authorities on thc sheep and wool situation, reccnlly declared that thc stock of wool in" the world's markets would be less in 1920 than in 1919. Hc estimated a large increase in wool production, but still larger increases iii the demand by consumers.

Cheap Luncheons Allowed in Paris Government. Fixes Price on Food Sold to Public Paris. ��� Wli��^ practically an eighteen penny luncheon���a thing unheard of in Paris since thc war began���is how available to patrons of the cheaper Paris restaurants. This startling return io almost pre-war conditions is due to thc bold policy of the government in throwing on the market enormous stocks of foodstuffs, on condition that they arc sold to the. public at fixed prices. The meals consist of a cut from thc joint or some other form of meat (95 centimes) vegetables (35 centimes) or 1 franc 80 in all. Thc only flaw in thc picture is that 30 centimes extra is to be charged for a table napkin I which will almost certainly be obliga- toiy���a chaiactcristic illustration of" extra profit making which seems ineradicable in tli is country.

MOTHER! YOUfl CHILD S CROSS, FEVERISH, FROM CONSTIPATION If tongue is coated, breath bad, , stomach sour, clean liver and bowels. All Must Co-operate Sympathetically and Efficiently - lt needs moic than intelligent individual effort on the part of moth- cis and others concerned if child life is to bc conserved, ancl the wastage of this precious national resource prevented in thc 'future. Some things can only be secured by community action. All must co-operate sympathetically and efficiently -if all thc children of thc community are to bc properly protected. Thc most efficient anil conscientous mother works against heavy odds if there is a laxity throughout thc community wilh regard to such matters as cleanliness, epidemics and moral environment. Thc childicn of even the cleanest homes are never entirely safe as long as dirt ancl disease arc allowed to harbor in any section. A slum or shack district is a menace to the whole community, and the more fortunate people who live in thc more favorable surroundings often pay heavily for their selfish indifference to thc well-being of those of their neighbors who arc less fortunate. Social service not only brings its benefits to those served, but, very often to those who serve. And in thc sphere of child welfare it, not infrequently, proves to bc a most effective means of self-protection. Children catch one .anothcrs diseases, hence thc necessity for community hygiene. Disease producing germs abhor cleanliness, but thrive in filth. They arc soon destroyed by sunlight, but survive long iit dirt, dampness and darkness. Some day our enlightened communities will insist ou a minimum of cleanliness and decent living conditions. All children should havc the same chance, and whatever is necessary to secure this should bc the concert) of all. A largc-proportion of the waking hours of most growing children is spent outside the home, where they arc exposed to moral as well as physical contamination. It is manifestly in the interest of all thc children ancl homes that parents should lake an intelligent interest in other children than their own, and by united action, raise thc standard of the whole physi-' cal and^moral environment-of childhood. Much could bc done if existing agencies wcre~bettcr supported There is need for very much sympathetic co-operation between parents and thc public school. The same is undoubtedly line of thc Sunday school. This institution is today the most effective one wc havc, making for thc moral uplift of childhood, but with a more sympathetic backing its possibilities for increased efficiency along this line arc almost limitless. Thc public support of the health authorities would also make for the elimination of epidemics, pure milk and water, supply, and sanitation. And w'hen communities learn to appreciate, better than thcy do now, the paramount -importance of thc child, thcy will find time to organize for the study of the problems of childhood, and thc piotcction and promotion of the interests of their children..

Sir:���Jusfe a.suggestion which, if acted upon, may prove of immense value to Greenwood and vicinity. There are thousands of returned soldiers who are looking for a suitable place to acquire land under the Soldiers Settlement scheme, and Green*pod caireasily get 40 or 50 of raese soldiers to take a ranch in this vicinity. If tho citizens were to form themselves into a kind of a Board of Trade, get listings of the various farms for sale, write to the Soldiers Re-establishment' Bureau, Vancouver, and inform fehem that Greenwood can place on land a certain number of families, I have no doubt that an expert land valuator, would immediately come to Greenwood and look the proposition over. This is done in other places. Why not Greenwood? -The Murray ranch and adjoining places, which are a second Okanagan, if properly handled, could be purchased by the government, cut up in fifty acre farms and given to the soldiers. The G. W. V. A. of Grand Forks, is endeavoring and will eventually succeed, in getting rid of the undesirable aliens and the land will be given to returned' soldiers. The returned soldier feels .that he is a returned citizen, having a broader view of life than he formerly had and will feake a greater interest in the affairs of his country, knowing fehat ife is a land worth fighting for, and he is determined that undesirables shall not live in our midst. The district needs population. We need quantity, ife,is true, but above all we must have quality, and if we cannot have quality then quantity must be sacrificed. A creamery would. no doubfe be established and Greenwood/ would become a prosperous farming community. The" soldiers want feo be one big family, or brotherhood of real men and they will never abuse the duty and tryst that has been placed upon their shoulders, by being led'into political factions that are going to use them for the betterment of parfey. The soldier will feake an active part" in fehe development of our country as a land of contentment, happy homes, high ideals for the service of humanity and apply fehe same qualities which won undying renown in Belgium and France. Get together, .gentlemen, use some high intelligence, practical ability, co-operating good will and courage" and" I have no" hesitancy in saying that Greenwood will then soon have a prosperous settlement of soldiers settlers.
