Need For More Production Never Greater 'alnot- campaign Canada needs another ism and production'' along- similar lines to that which contributed to Canada's magnifi- cient agricultural production in 1915- The need of Canada and the need of Great Britain for im- mensl3y greater supplies of grain will be infinitely greater next fall than at any time since the war began. All the "Patriotism and Productions' campaigning in the world will not improve the weather conditions which are often responsible fot small crops, but it can bring about a greater output of agricultural products than would be available for entente and home demand if no such organized effort to stimulate production were made. The acreage planted with grain and other essential foodstuffs in Canada next spring should exceed all records. It should be limited only by the acreage of land available and the ability of the labor at hand to seed and cultivate it. It has been estimated that the government at Ottawa has under consideration a course of action which will assist toward the attainment of the desired end. The 1914- 15 campaign was capably and effectively conducted and the same men cau produce good results in 1916-17. If the government finds it necessary to spond two or three hundred thousand dollars in order to give the necessary direct as well as indirect stimulus to production, it will be money well spent in the interests of the Empire and the Dominion.

He wauled, as he had said, to turn over a new leal, and this he could hardly do while so much plunder remained iu his hands. In the meantime there was lhe fear ol Gane, and slill more of Evans, 10 trouble liiiii. The Welshman was a vindictive and mean lillle rascal at the besl of times, and his leinpcr would not be improved by the failure of his companion to obtain possession of the stones. These considerations made Paul moody, and some among lhc house party were not long in discovering lhat there was a conspicuous change in him. Also il was noticeable that Lady Ursula's frank happiness was shadowed by some vague cloud. Hugo noted these fads to Lndy Emmeline, who had grown somc- whal distant to her brother-in-law, following the lead set by Lord Last- ling. Of course tllis attitude of her brother and sisler was observed by Lady Ursula, and formed a new trial lor her grnile patience. ll was on thr day following lhc visit of Brady Gane, and before Paul had found a solution of hi- many difficulties, thai Hugo, strolling out iulo llie grounds, and coming, by accident of course, (ace lo face with I.ady I'minclinc as she was feeding lhc golden pheasants in thc aviary by the rose garden, made S0II1C comment upon Paul's morosencss. "Hc used to bc such n lively fellow," said Hugo. "Bul this marriage of his seems to have spoill him altogether." "Vou seem lo forget thai he's married my sisler, said Lady l-'.nimel- ine with some indignation. "No, I don't. On the contrary, I was going to say thai marriage has spoilt her, too. Matrimony is responsible for having ruined two lives," he added pensively. "What nonsense!" cried lhc girl. "If Paul Payne is spoilt it isn't by his marriage. As to my sister���well, I'm very sorry she fell in love with him." "Indeed I don't srr why \ou should say that," said Hugo, standing up for the friend for whose intro duction to lhe rail's family hr Lit himself lo hr responsible "She appears lo hr very fond of Payne," "She's :i great deal loo loud of him," said I.ady Emmeline sharply. "Don'l you think lhal, if ur musl have thi- absurd and ruinous institution railed marriage, it's belter i'or lhc contracting parlies lo have some attraction for each other?" demanded Hugo judicially. "I Mi, I suppose so." "Al anv rate, ii's qtiiie usual," -aid Hugo, "Whal handsome birds Ihosc pheasants. Wc ran talk aboul them any time, Let us go oil aboul mar- ringc. Il's a theme on which I ��� ould Irilk for hours." "I'.ul you never say nnylllillfi in lhc least interesting or intelligent aboul it," cried Lady Eminellne, wilh sud* dcii and suspicious demtirciicss. He seemed ratlin- disconcerted, "Don't 1? Now I really thought I did. I'm always againsl it, vou know, while you .-laud up for it." "I used to, perhaps," broke in Lady Emmeline, "Bul I've changed my mind, Since I've seen a little more of its effects upon my sister's spirits, I'm quite ready to agree wilh you thai ii oughl lo be abolished." Hugo was scandalized, "I never -aid that," objected Hugo, aghast. "I lidn'l yon/ \V< II, ii docsn'l mal ter," cried Lady l'mtiiclinc inconsc- qucntly. "There's the postman, I imisl see if I've got a Irller." "Whal letter arc you expecting?" demanded Hugo wiih sudden anxiety. Bill she would nol tell him. "Oh, it's ii"i so very important," she said, growing demure again, "Lin expecting a, letter, loo," cried Hugo, in a vicious lour, "\ cry important, mine i*. Let's go and waylay him." Bui the postman had no letters for either oi them. There was ihe usual batch for lhe head of lhe house, our or iwo for members of ihr parly, and one for Paul, which Lady Emmeline undertook lo deliver to her brother-in-law. Hugo was disgusted when she look this excuse for going into lhe house; she had got inlo a disagreeable habit of cutting short the interviews with him which he spent'most of his lime in contriving, and Hugo was beginning to think lhal he disliked her. But in lhis lie was wrong. Lady Emmeline delivered ihe missive to Paul, who was w riling letters in lhc study. Hc knew the handwriting, which was round, clear and good, the modern free school baud, lie recognized it as lhal of Brady Gane, and opened the Idler with apprehension, which proved lo be well founded. Gane informed him lhal he and Evans were being "shadowed," lhat Kvans had turned "nasty," and thai Paul had better "look out." Oil lhc whole, the letter was not ill-natured, although Ihe writer expressed some impatience thai "Syd" had not yel found a way of handing over the jew-' els safely.

Al 1, And rt n's reason for not giving n franchise wus that after a franchise would be granted the question of purchase would be dropped and nothing would be done 'riicCoiiipa.iv','; repp, to this was that that rested entirely with the council whether they cared to exercise the privilege of lite purchase clause. Aid llm ford's reason for not granting a franchise was that the time was too short for the company and council to come to an agreement on the terms of same before tbe expiration of the present couu-j cil's term of office, The company's reply to Ihis was that they were ready to take up the matter at once. and that there was no doubt whatever but that it could be done before their term of office expired. Aid. McKen/.ie's reason for not granting a franchise was that if the council granted u franchise to the company that they then would have a 1 the privileges contained therein and that would settle the matter The Company,s reply to this was that immediately the city availed themselves ol tbe purcbae clause -nd purchased the plant the franchise would be automatically cancelled nnd be of no value, Alderman Dunham's reason for not grouting the franchise was that he bad made up bis mind he would not do so, Aid. Brown's reason was tiie same, ���Ud, Astou's reason was that be believed only in Municipal Owner, ship nii'l he could see no reason for grunting a franchise previous to the purchase of the plant. The Company's reason for wanting ihe franchise bsfoie thej made public the prices they pay for power, is merely to protect themselves iu case the bylaw to purchase the plant is not approved by the ratepayers, and il is hard to see what objection there could be made to this if the City's intentions to buy are good.

The latter may be lorgiveu for smiling when wheat exceeded $2 a bushel, as it did recently at Winnipeg, or when be reads of the hardening tendency of potato prices, But will our producers take the obvious step indicated by this year's high prices, which are much higher than those of 1915, which in turn were higher than those of 1914! That is, to put under cultivation ���very foot of land possible in readiness for a bumper harrest, varied in its fruits, in 1917. when prices will be at least equal to those of today, and probably above them, These are farmers years, but the farmer is under a moral and patriotic obligation to work the production of his land, stock plant aud labour at top capacity for his own sake, and profit, and for the sake of *the millions who must be fed or die, and for the sake of the Empire, which must be served by the land, just as on land and sea and in the air, she is served by those who fight in her defence.

Secondly ���Belgium lias a line, free and national spirit that refuses to lie crushed, a spirit thai the Germans never did possess, and never will, Thirdly. Germany needs labour to release men for military ssrvice, fourthly, Germany fears the success of tiie Allies in breaking through theSoiuute defences, wliicli would result in a falling back of the German lines in Prance, Flanders and Belgium, and which would encourage the Belgians to t\>e up -ipainst their oppressors. Also, as Belgian territory was regained and Belgian men were freed, they would flock to join their own army, for these reasons, and possibly there are others, Qerinmiy is uprooting men, wotlleh, and children for the jtrave offence of beii'g of Belgian blood, aud a nation foremost in in lustry and science is now being being laid was'.e. **.**'.**��� By all accounts, business is fil'tv ner C��Ut belter than il Was six uicnths ago.

T. C'urtin, of Boston, Mass., writes as follows: Early in "vugrusl last I was in Ber* lin. The British-French offensive which had begun on July 1, outwardly appeared to attract little notice in Germany. Even in lhc highest military quarters il was considered Biit- ain's linal bluff. The, great maps in the shop windows of every street allowed no change, and still show no change worth noticing. "The maps ���peal.," say the Germans, line hoi evening iu Berlin I mel a young officer whom I had known ou a previous visit. I noticed he was ill ami out of soils, lie lold mc he had been unexpectedly called to his regiment on the western front. "Uow is lhat?"

M\ have war, rut short this evening." W'r had a glass ol beer. "You haw- been io Kngland. haven'l vou?" he inquired. I told him I had been there hist war. "I'hey seem to have more soldiers than we thought," he said. "Thev seem lo be learning the business. Mv battalion has suffered terribly." The next day Ihere were oilier rumors in Berlin, rumors unknown to the masses. It was suggest ed to mc by a friend that if I wanted lo learn the truth 1 should go to Potsdam and scc the arrival of the wounded of the famous Prussian Guard, who had had a terrible experience al the hands of thc English in Contal- tnaison on July 10. lie drew me aside and told mc that the state of things on the Sommc if known throughout Germany would effectively destroy thc pretension of the annexationist party, who believed lhat Germany had won the war and would bold Belgium, ihc conquered portion of France and Poland. He told me to go out to Potsdam with caution and warned tne that I would have the utmost difficulty in getting anywhere near the artillery signs at lite railway station. 1 asked another extremely well-informed friend if anything particular was happening in the war, and told bint 1 thought of going to Potsdam. He said: "What for? There is nothing seen there���the same old drill ing and drilling." Po well arc secrets kept in Germany. However, 1 wenl, and what I saw in Potsdam would, if known lo the German people, shake thc very foundation of thc empire. Thc hypnotic effcel of the German newspapers is not apprehended in Great Britain. Those newspapers .arc all directed from the foreign office, which can manipulate the thoughts of these docile people and turn their attention to a particular part of the war with the same celerity as thc operator of a searchlight can direct lhe beam to any part of the sky. Kor the moment the whole German nation looks at the beam, nothing else. When people in England ask, "Arcn'l thev beginning to learn the truth?"

Mr. John Flint, Kiishenller's Bay, near Sydney, has, like others all oyer the world, been experimenting for years with a view to discovering a substitute for rubber. lie claims lo have solved lhe problem. His compound, which has been patented wherever possible, is said to have been partly the resull of an accident. He had been working for years upon a certain formula. In making up another formula he made a mistake, and lhe result exceeded the expectations which lie cherished all along. To pui his discovery to a severe lest, he made a motorcar lyre, one-half ol which was rubber and lhe other half of his composition. The lyre has been used for four mouths, has travelled 1,500 miles and is slill'running. Mr. Flint admits thai as regards actual wear his compound shows slightly more depreciation than the rubber, but it is doubtful whether an ordinary observer would notice it. Since then, however, he has improved his compound, and its possibilities as a rival to rubber are plainly suggested by thc fact that it can be made al a cost of 10 lo 12 cents a pound. Il is claimed foi Ihe new material that it will serve all the purposes for which rubber is used; lhal it will not ignite; and thai when healed it will not melt, cial "Can you tell me where I can buy a good, healthy rattlesnake?"

UUHTT MORGAN, Manaaer 109 Union Bank Bldg. Victoria, B. C. P. L. ANDERTON, Agent, Courtenay To the Ratepayers of the City of Courtenay. Far be it from any intention on my part to throw cold water, or cover with a damp pall, any suggestion or scheme which contains anything that might be for the benefit of the Dominion at large or this Virgin City in particular; but when a sheet of misleading figures similar to that recently received by me through the Agency of the Dominion Hail Service, under cover of a letter, signed by one who at one time was considered a fit person to hold Aldermanic honors in our midst, conies into my hands I can only come to on: or two conclusions. The first, that it is the perpetration of a brazen falsehood intended to mislead me into supporting some unwise scheme and thereby being a willing, though foolish party, to the strangling of this city with a nether stone about its neck from which it could never escape, such a piece of impertinent effrontery being an insult to the intelligenge of every man to whom it was addressed. 1 will do the writer of the letter wliicli ac companied the figures in question more honor than to suggest that he was guilty of any such wilfully mischevious intent hut in acquitting him of the intention of any evil can only come to the second of the two conclusions which forced them- selves upon my mind, Out of kindness of heart I therefore feel constrained to liken him to a hair brained Rainbow Chaser who sees far more in the shadow than the substance. In coming to this conclusion, fellow ratepayers, do not be under any misapprehension that there is no harm in him nor will there be if each and every one keeps guard on against him and his coterie. He is but the agent of others whom I could not conscientiously acquit of evil intent, but he is a willing tool like the village idiot who sees no harm iu bespattering windows with mud. Drunkards are locked up: some lunatics are put in the asylum, others who ought to be roam at large. What is all this about? Well Gentlemen, have you read the article under the diction of "The Proposed Courtenay Water Works System" which is a misnomer in that it is not only a misleading statement as to probable cost of installing a suitable and efficient water system in onr midst but treats principally upon a scheme for lighting the city also, the figures in relation to which are equally misleading. But to quote from the statement itself I will take first the item, "Cost of water system complete as estimated by competent engineers $30,000,00 I wonder can Mr. defunct alderman imagine that he cau really induce any competent firm of engineers to enter into a contract under bond to complete the work to the satisfaction of the City Council, to construct suitable water system with dam at Brown's River, guaranteed to last a given number of years, lay the mains to the city, purchase rights of-way through intervening properties, ley laterals, erect hydrants and leave everything in readiness at all points to connect with individual consumers for this sum, I very much doubt if he can for this, plus another {20,000.00, Any incompetent engineer may undertake to construct it for a given sum on a percentage basis but it will be up to the city to find further funds to complete It when the given sum is expended. Contractors who undertake this kind of work have, as a rule, spent many years in learning their business, they are shrewder than Mr, Alderman, notwithstanding that he acquired wealth more easily than do they and before they would do so much as contemplate the proposition they would waut some surety that money was forthcoming. Cost of Electric Light, Heat and Power System as estimated $10,000.00 While these figures might be suitable to the purpose, were the writer of the article setting a mathematical calculation to a boy student in a junior grade, it will be found entirety inadequate for the purpose intended, Having some data at my disposal I am justified in saying that twice that sum would not allow any surplus in finishing a suitable system in Courtenay, When I say suitable system, I do so guardedly, as I am aware that for the sum of $10,000,00 some kind of a system whereby light could be sold to consumers might be established; but while some people are content to live in a woodshed others preler to live in a house, ao if we are going to have our own system of electric light let us have one we can depend upon at all times with a minimum annual outlay for maintenance, not one that will be a nuisance through cheapness. My estimate for these two services, aud I feel I am as qualified to give one as a good many, is at least $70,000.00. My esteemed and atheletic friend in his desire to find the nugget tied to the end of the rainbow has been prevailed upon to lend his name to the suggestion of $40,000.00, though he wisely makes provision lor contingencies, amounting to $5,000.00 more. Figuring conserve tlvely tlie least we can handle these propositions, with any hopetul certainty, is $70,000.00. The author of the diction under discussion says that because we are free8 from debt ns a city we are a first clas-, security. The situation to my mind i0 comparable to that of the artisan wh has hitherto been able to get to and from his place of business by street car, which not only being satisfactory wai within his means, No doubt an automobile- I would be a boon to him and enable him | so lake lhe family out at times, but il his wages are limited to street car ca- paclty it would not only be unwise but foolish u> buy an automobile on the hire system if he is not only going to be iu debt hy so doing lor the remainder of his lite but gniti g to find the monthly cosl greater than thc street cur ami out- bitle Iiis menus, Thut such optotuists, or cheerful id-tots �� should need disillusionment Is pitiful but as prohibition is but a measure to guard niie tiHaiiist himself sn must he, or they, Iw put mi thc qui vlve, Who amongst you is there would take stock in bonds Issued in the name of lhc City of Courtenay?
