CRESTON, B.C., FRIDAY, MAY 12, 1916 No. 17 Union Decides New Selling Fees An audience thoroughly representative of the bigger sellers, and a nice sprinkling of smaller shippers was in attendance at the shareholders meeting of the Creston Fruit Growers- Union on Thursday night last at the Auditorium, when the matter of selling the 1916 output of fruit and vegetables througe the Okanagan United Growers���������the terms and general conditions of the proposed contract appearing in our last issue���������wa3 up'for discussion and final settlement. President Jackson occupied the chair, and after the customary opening preliminaries had been gone through with, called on Manager Staples to present the proposed agreement with the O.U.G. * After the document had been read the gathering was inyited to pass their opinion on it, but so eminently satisfactory is the new arrangement that no adverse comment beingforthcomingon motion of R. Stark, seconded by W. G. Littlejohn, the directors were given the necessary authority to close the d.eal oh the basis outlined. In view of this new arrangement it was found necessary to make some changes in thesellingeharges. Hitherto - shareholders' produce has been handled on a margin of 12 per cent. For this year this charge will be 10 per cent, (which includes the commission paid the O.U.G.), but in addition there will be a pool charge on every package, crate or box handled, as follows: 5 cirEit'S s crate on Sti-awfoorries", Raspberries, Gooseberries, Black berries, Currants and Sour Cherries. 4 cents* a box on Apples, Crab Apples and Pears. .3 cents a crate on Tomatoes. Peaches, Plums, Sweet Cherries, Cucumbers, Peas, Beans, Rhubarb, Green Peppers, Pickling Onions. Green Corn and Bunch Vegetables. 50 cents a ton on coarse vegetables. The new arrangement in some lines will work out slightly higher than 12 per cent, but past experience as well as information to hand from Okanagan selling agencies all go to show that the 12 per cent, margin invariably rifles a trifle too low if a modicum of profit is to be shown on the year's business. It is satisfactory to hear that. although the O.U.G. were not to enter upon the���������selling campaign for Creston until May 15th, they are already busy disposing of the limited quantity of rhubarb that is offering locally. great success. The fact that it is at Wynndel and that Mesdames Duncan and Bathie are to be hostesses should be a sufficient guarantee of that. The meeting of the Co-Ooperative Fruit Growers Association held on Saturday night was very well attended despite the had weaaher conditions. The selling plans for 1916 and the berry picking and packing were about the only subjects brought up at the meeting. ' Local Conservatives were out in force for the meeting of the Wynndel Association on Saturday night.^JJy a unanimous vote our delegate was instructed to support the Valley candidate, R. J. Long, at the coming nominating convention. It was decided that the Association should pay the delegate's expenses. Other matters under discussion were the fixing of the eulvert in Duck Creek under the C.P������R. so as to allow fish to ascend the the creek and roads. Prizes for Pickles Cooking, Sewing ooara or iraae Has Busy Session Creston visitors this week include Mrs. May and Miss A. Hagen on Monday and Mrs. Duncan, J. J. Grady and IS, Southwell on Tuesday. A large party of Austrians from an internment camp arrived here on Saturday from Winnipeg to take lho place of the Italians of the fencing gang that quit last week. There was quite a frost here on Tuesday night, but it docs not appear to have injured the peach and cherry blossoms, P. II. Price arrived here at the beginning of tho week.

Tbe meeting of the Alice Hiding- VV> nndel ladle.i aid to Holdlcru at the front to be hold at the HchoollioiiHo on Saturday. Mny VMh. bids fair to ben, The best attended meeting the Board of Trade has had for at least two years was in evidence on Tuesday night, President "Reid in charge. The customary grist of correspondence was decidedly abbreviated this trip, there being but two letters; one from the coast asking that a delegate be sent to a provincial board of trade convention at Vancouver next week- on which no action was taken, and another from the British-American Soldiers' Blind Relief Association asking the board to distribute contribution boxes and otherwise arouse financial interest in the association's work, on which point the secretary will write for further particulai*s.' On creamery matters W. V. Jackson reported on the visit of Mr. Am- merrnan, the Cranbrook creamery manager, who made a canvass of the Valley looking for a cream supply a few days ago. He appears to have been quite successful for the short stay he made, going away with the assurance of getting the cream from about 150 cows, provided satisfactory arrangements ean be made for it gathering .and delivery at a shipping point. The recent move of J. H. Schofield, M.P.P., to have the government take into consideration the reclamation of Kootenay fiats to provide land for returned soldiei-s was discussed at great length, all present taking a hand in the debate, all agreeing that the early completion of this work was what was needed to make Creston the best section of the interior, and the majority favoring government reclamation rather than the sale of the area to a land corporation for drainage and sale on an agreement to bo approved by the government. Messrs. Henderson, Hayes and Bennett were named a committee to get busy at once on a memorial to Mr. Schofield reiterating the benefits that will accrue to* the province as weii as this part wero the job completed and exhorting onr member to never weary of well doing on the scheme he has beforo tho" government. Thoso interested in tho scheme at Bonners Ferry and othor Idaho points will also be urged to do their bit in thin connection. Owing to decidedly disagreeable weather the May meeting of Creston Women's Institute, on Saturday afternoon last, did not attract the bang up attendance that has been in. evidence at all the previous meetings, though, at that, there was a whole lot more' than a quorum present. Not only "were many of tho. rank and file absent, but owing to too much wetness Mrs. Thurston was absent and the meeting was deprived of the paper on "Strawberry-*Culture," that shy had arranged to present. Mrs. Fred Smith gave a carefully-prepared and very interesting sketch on the "Origin of Women's Institute work in British Columbia," while in the social department the ladies \ye*"e favored with a reading by Mr. H. Lyne, and a yocal duett, "Friendship," by Mrs. Lindley and Mrs. Lidgate. And, of course, there was surgical bandage making for the Red Cross, with tea to close. Those entrusted with League of Empire work reportei that they had two volumes of selected clippings gotten together in serapbook form, and these will be sent to league headquarters to be forwarded one of the B.C, regiments overseas. The Flower Show the Institute proposes to have this year will be held the early part of September, and in addition to the floral' competition there will also be prizes for needlework, cooking, jams and pickles. As the government grant for tnsti- tute work is made on the basis of paid tip members on the roll at June 1st the ladies ars hoping th'it all who contemplate joining -**the Institute will make a special effort to do so before the first of next month. The grant will be. utilized forijprize money for the fair and, of course, it is very desirable Lo give attractive prizes on as many articles in the classes enumerated as possible. The next meeting is on June 3rd. apparently having broken its back. Acting on the advice of several persons who happened to be passing the animal was killed to end its misery. Some claim that there were two fawns with the old one when they were noticed grazing on the flats. Mrs. Streetor, who has resigned as principal of the Erickson school, and leaves next week for Oregon, goes away with the goodwill and high regard of many of the parents here, as is shown in the following note The Review is asked to publish and which carries the signature of numerous grateful parents: "We, some of the appreciative 'parents, take this op- portunity cf publicly thanking Mrs. Streetor for the good work she has done here, and by our children. We wish her good health and every success in her future career, and sincerely regret she is leaving Erickson." tn. a.*. it ������.y ments Patriotic Fund Creston Hears of Woman Durrrage Erickson Doing Ner Bit Something just a bit out of the ordinary in the way of hen fruit was on display at thoRuviKW offico Huh week.

Hugh Dobson's talk on "Women Suffrage" in the Methodist Church, last Friday evening, was disappointingly small���������particularly when one considers the well-deserved reputation Mr. Dobsori enjoys as a public speaker. Whatever his feelings were they did not in the least adversely affect his address. As a matter of fiict for those is attendance he was r������ossiblv more ! appreciated than han the church been crowded; in his informal talk he was able to get closer home and at the same time give ample evidence of his oratorical genius and all-round mastery of his subject. Mr. Dobson attached a much deeper significance tc woman suffrage than is current with the average citizen. To him it was no fad to give women a little more latitude to gratify personal ambitions. In fact the giving, of woman suffrage on broad lines would open up to woman a sphere of useful- n' ss in community life that demanded of the best there was iu womanhood, if present-day social and economic problems are ever to be successfully solyed and adjusted. In eyolying the why and wherefore of the radically changed condition in all phases of our own everyday life as compared with the old order of things in the days of homespun, Mr. Dobson's plea was not for a getting back to something that was a compromise between tho old and new order of things,but rather for the admission of the womon into full partnership in helping the nation out of its diffieultiee. Without their equal-responsibility and co-oporrtion the right solution and correction of numerous present-day vexed problems was out of the question. In viow of tho forthcoming vote on prohibition Mr. Dobson devoted his closing remarks to that subject. His leading argument to convince that a "dry" B.C. was desirable had to do with the prompt measures takon by Russia, to prohibit drinking in order that tne soldiors should reach tho highest state of physical efficiency, with Franco adopting like measures with cot tain intoxh-anUk and Great Britain also curtailing tho hours of sale and abolishing thotroatingsystom in many oontros. Mr. Dobson claim* d that given thorough prohibition in loss than thirty years Great Britain's reduced death rato. duo to tho "dry" spell, would makegoodnll tho wastage Valley Branch of the .Patriotic Fund run to the even $52 for April, the lightest month in the history of the branch.

The cause is a worthy one and every nickel, and more, will be required. &BB*������8m*>6m W. Morris, proprietor of the Sirdar Hotel, was a Nelson visitor last, weekend. Mrs. R.

Swanson and .party were easey-jonesing on Sundoy evening aud passed en route for parts unknown. News of the death of P. E. Carman of Cranbrook was received with expressions of sincere regret on every hand here. Tho deceased gentleman was for many years C.P.R. agent at Sirdar, and during that period was held in the highest esteem by everyone who came in contact with him.

As to compensation for the trade, in ease prohibition carried, he. asserted that-should li.C concede compensation she would be. the llrst province in Canada, tho Unltod States or Croat Britain to do such an act. In explaining why thoro was so much heard of compoiitiafion in British Columbia, Mr. Dobson asserted this was solely due to tho fact that tbe provincial imviTiiitieiif was on such good forms with the liquor interests that the latter fell, Ihey were in ii position to ie������k and n ceivc better tnrniH than had been m������ led out in the other province)-.

"Yes," Burko agreed, "you've guessed if right, the first time." Cassidy came hurrying in with a grin of satisfaction on his stolid face.

"Now," ho said when they were alone together. 'Tin going to be your friend." "Arc you?". Mary's tone was noncommittal. "Yes." Burke declared, heartily. "And 1 mean it!

Dealers Everywhere Tha Imperial Oil Co-apaay Limited BRANCHES IN ALL, C1TISS : A Noble Example An English Mother Who Has Given Seventeen Sons to the Army Surely there would never have been and need to introduce compulsory military service il! every British mother had followed the example of Mrs. Davies, of Church Sretton, Salop, England. This good lady, the widow of a soldier, has given no fewer than seventeen sons to the army, of whom fourteen were actually on active service with the colors on September 15th, 191.4. six weeks only after the outbreak of the war. Another patriotic mother, Mrs. Jones of Kyverdale Road, Stamford Hill, gave her three triplet sons and a fourth sou to the army. Then there is Mrs. Potter, a Portsmouth, Bng., widow, aged eighty- three, who has heen awarded a prize locally for being the head of the funnily with the -most members in fighting services. Sixteen of grandsons are in the army .or am- the her the of active navy, and the husbands of four of her granddaughters are on service, making twenty for her descendants altogether fighting for King and country. In addition, two other grandsons, now dead, were in the navy. His Debt to His Nation Tliere is no more reason to leave the paying of his debt to his nation to .each man's conscience than there is in leaving the paying of his debt to his bank to each man's conscience. The volunteer system is unsound both from the military and from the civic point of view. It is inevitably -.-.njust and demoralizing. It is unworkable, as the failure of Lord Derby's moderate and conciliatory plan has just proved again in England and in the midst of a great war. Por the sake of American youth and for the sake of the nation, we ought to adopt universal compulsory military training and service now. while peace permits us to do it deliberately, consciously, not as a hasty bitter necessity, but on principles of democratic service and unforced patriotic devotion.���������Chicago Tribune.

Cured by Toning the Blood and f*trrtrttit~itf*rtttrt<S the rSJf'rve'J Ie is the opinion of the best medical authorities, after long observation, that nervous diseases are more common and more serious in the spring than at any other time of the year. Vital changes in the system, after long j winter months, may cause much more ! .trouble than the familiar spring weak-} ness and weariness from which most j people suffer as the result of indoor life, in poorly ventilated and often overheated buildings. Official records prove that in April and May neuralgia, St. Vitus', dance, epilepsy and ether forms of nerve troubles ai'e at their worst, and that then, more than any other time, a blood-making, nerve-restoring tonic.is needed. The antiquated custom of taking purgatives in the spring is useless, for the system really needs strengthening, while purgatives only gallop #through ��������� lie bowels, leaving you weaker. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills , are the best medicine, for they actually make the new, rich, red' blood that feeds tlio starved nerves, and thus cure the many forms of nervous disorders. They cure also such other forms of spring troubles as headaches, poor appetite, weakness in the limbs, as well as remove unsightly pimples aud eruptions.

Voile Muslins Crepes Raw Silks Drilfe Romper Cloth Curtaining Wi*miahenind������8erenee Enlarging a little further on this civic pride business, or the value of putting up a good front, the visit of .Rev. Hugh Dobson to Creston ou Friday night, furnished evidence of a rather deplorable bit of shortsightedness���������speaking al together from the material standpoint���������to say nothing of an equally lamentable lack of appreciation of our more intellectual responsibilities. As many will readily recollect Mr. Dobson's talk was on "'Woman Suffrage," a topic that has been much to the fore of late; a matter on which the electors of B.C. will be asked to vote for or against at the coming provincial election, and undoubtedly one of the greatest problems ihe empire will have to deal with at the close of this war. In addition to having a close- home topic Mr. Dobson came with a merited reputation for being able to handle most any subject in instructive and entertaining fashion ���������and he certainly lived up to advance notices������������������yet his audience consisted of exactly nine persons, three of them ladies, and. by tho way, none of the trio, thnt we are aware of, identified with tho woman nufirage association Creston one time boasted. The point we wish to make, however, does not concern tho speaker's ability nor the subject ho was disciiHsing altogether, but has to do with the impression Mr. Dul-Miii might carry nway of the place, and pass on lo enquirers iih opportunity ntighl. ull'ord. In his particular osvne, eovering i he lour weHtci-n provinces and coming in close contact with all i-hiHM-H, it iH hard lo ci'timato jiiHt. how fur his good oIJicch will work out lo the Valley's advantage .iii'i .';';' ' !:!"' hi'T!

For instance, there's the matter of the suggested ne w high school. If the letter and spirit of the Education Act is to be lived up to goodbye h.s.*, but if the previous policy of special consideration in exceptional and meritorious cases still prevails we believe a good and sufficient case can be made out to secure the higher seat of learning at nominal additional expense to the ratepayers. Then, there's the matter of reclamation. We believe the board of trade is still in debt for the expenses of one or more delegates to Victoria two or three years ago to beard the lion in his den, as is were, to get some action in this matter���������and its urgency is as pressing to day as it was then. Undoubtedly, too, the farmers institute or fruitgrowers have some matters they would like to bring directly to the premier's attention. The erecting of the Valley, or the necessary portion of it, into an organized municipolity might be broached. The fellows who roundly cussed the waterworks last winter could air their grievances, and the mere detail of giving us another .T.P. so as to rendor workable our small debts court might be discreetly presented, and various other major ami minor matters��������� notably the non-workability of our cattle pound law. These sort of heart to heart talks will do more in an hour or two to give the premier an insight into the government-remedial ills the Valley is suffering from (or imagines it is) than all the resolutions a political association could pass in a month of Sundays and, aftor all, it is this unprejudiced statement of tho case Mr. Bowser is niter- this trip particularly. Creston - - British Columbia erctaant lands for soldiers returned from the war it was unfortunate our present representatives, -J. H. Sob/field, M.P.P., would not have us for constituents next election, and that in our new electoral nonie tiie sitting member would not seek re-election, leaving us without an interested party to put forward the Kootenay flats reclamation scheme at this time when the proposition fitted so thoroughly inio the eternal fitness of things political and economic. The editorial evidently struck homo to Mr. Schofield for on Saturday the Nelson News carries a despatch from Victoria, dated May 5th, announcing that James H. Schofield, member for Ymir riding, is endeavoring to get through an amendment to the soldiers' land bill which would open the way for the reclamation of the Kootenay flats. Mr. Schotield's proposal is that a clause should be inserted in the act which would give the government the power to devote money to the reclamation of lands owned by the province. This would enable the government to expend money upon reclaiming the flats in the Croston district. In this tract are -10,000 acres (if land sufficient to accommodate the families of 2,000 soldiers. Several members of the house, notably IJ. E. Forstcr (Columbia) have suggested that the government should take power to purchase land for soldiers near the centres of settlement, the money for such, purposes to como from the proceeds of the sale of part of the. partly purchased lands which will revert to tho government from speculators. Mr. Schofield's proposal is right- in lino with this idea and while it would not bind the government to the expenditure of money at a time before any money in available under the act. it would open the way for carrying out the Kootenay river reclamation scheme, settling soldiors on the reclaimed farms and bringing to Kootenay and Boundary a large number of now settlers. Mr. Schofield is now taking the matter up with the government. There is absolutely no gainsaying the statement that in all B.C. thero is not another district that can offer the agricultural attraotivoness that would accrue to tho Valley wore these flats made available for cultivation and under all the favorable circumstances \\m\> call for their reclamation, including a sharing up of tho cost by tho state of Idaho, it is to be hoped Mr. Schofield will havo such local cooperation an may be possible under tho circumstances and that ho will plead hie "ic-e i-'itb the '/mil of a man wooing a widow, a task in rendered recently j w|li(;), yo��������� ���������,ui,m-, uVerdo tho thing mo we nro lold.

Put 8 gallons of water in kettle, and start fire, place lime in kettle. After slaking is well started, add the dry sulphur and mix thoroughly, adding enough water to maintain a thin paste, which requires about 5 gallons. After the slaking and mixing is completed, add water to the height of 40 gallons on the measuring stick, bring to a boil and stir until the sulphury scum practically disappears. Then add water (preferably, but not necessarily, hot) to the 55 gallon height, and boil to 45 gallons. The material should be kept well stirred, especially during the early stages of the process, and uny lumps of sulphur or lime should be thoroughlv broken un. O ������- j*. The total time of actual boliing should be about one hour, though a ten-minute variation either way is not objectionable providing the sulphur is evidently dissolved. The fact is best determined by dipping and slowly pouring some of the material. The amounts of water indicated above are ample for one hour's fairly vigorous boiling, with the (hushing volumes as indicated. If it is not at a desired height at the close, it may he made so by mon* water or more boiling, and either the amount of water in tho second addition or the vigor of boiling can be so modified in later trials as to enable tho total to be brought to the desired height approximately at the end of thu hour. The finished product may be immediately poured or strained into a barrel or settling tank or into the spray tank. The straining is merely a safeguard to prevent any possible clogging because of imperfect materials or failure to break lumps in the sulphur. When properly made the amount of sediment left io the strainer is insignificant, being less than one percent., and may be thrown away. To avoid any considerable hiss of materials, however, the sediment in the Htraincr can be washed with part of tho water used in making the next Int., Jillilply tioiil'iiiii- I llu wiituf tllrnilidt the strainer into the kettle, and nny lump* of Mil|>hur dirM-.oVf.ivd in,.> In- broken up and used again.

The crust which forms on the finished material is prevented by immediately covering the solution with a layer of oil about an eight of an inch thick, and avoiding unnecessary exposure to air in lhe transfer from kettle to storage tank. An ordinary paraffine oil was very satisfactory in om- work, but there is no reason we believe that any other oil, not injurious to trees nor likely to take fire at boiling temperatures, may be used with equal success, The crust may also be prevented by immediate storage in tight, closed vessels, filling them completely. But partially filled vessels are likely to develop some crust upon continual exposure. Lime of good quality should be used for making the home-made concentrate. Beach ville Mme (0.6 per cent impurity) is of ideal quality and any lime with not more than 10 per cent impurity would be suitable, such as Ottawa, Coboeonk, Trenton, Ain- herstburg, Oaledon, etc. Freshly burnt lime should also be used, because air-slaked lime combines with sulphur very slowly. The latter is very good for making the ordinary home-boiled wash where the amount of lime used is usually greater than the amount of sulphur, bnt for the manufacture of the concentrate it is wholly unsuitable. if all the It)io taxes are paid in full and the income from other sources up to the estimates Vernon city treasurer will handle $181,180 this year.

Geographically it has seemed remote from all the other zones of major operations���������aiore in the nature of a little war by itself. The average layman when asked to locate the region places it raiher indefinitely "'somewhere in Western Asia." The Caucasus for a great many years has been Russia's outpost from ���������which gradually she has extended her Influence over Northern Persia and the potentially wealthy area of Eastern Asia "Minor. The lofty mountains, on the other hand, have been Turkey's "bulwark against encroaching Muscovites, held with desperation against an ever-increasing pressure from the sorth. The first effort of the Ottoman army when it was projected into the ;war was directed through the Caucasus against Russia. A force based on the fortified city of Erzerum sought to clear the frontier and capture Kars, the metropolis of the Russian coasted district. The column penetrated to the very outskirts of Kars, and for a few days there were rumors of its capture, but the Russians succeeded In the end in not only retaining it but driving back the Turks to the frontier and beyond. AH of the first winter of the war fighting of the utmost severity occurred in the mountains, where . the armies surged back and forth in snow- that at times reached a depth of 20 feet. At least 200,000 men were engaged in a series of desperate conflicts that lasted until early in April, when the Turks, with the battle a . stalemate, withdrew a good part of their forces to meet the Anglo-French demonstration against the Dardanelles. The German and Austrian offensive, which was organized at the same time and began May 1st with the battle of Donajec, at the same time saved the situation for the Turks by compelling the Russians to end their activities in the Caucasus and concentrate every available man and gun in Galicia just at a time when the weakening of the Turkish front might have permitted a decisive victory. The conditions of the great war as a whole have prevented until recently the resumption of the campaign with anything like adequate numbers and equipment. Simultaneously- with the beginning of the drive on the Arasa the Russians opened an active campaign on the southern shores of Lake Van and increased their activity in Persia. Perhaps no better illustration of the spirit of co-operation that actuates The allied war offices can be found tl-an this widespread attack on the Turks. It will be noted that the re- suinption of Russian activity against the Porte came just at the time when the Anglo-French pressure at the Dardanelles was withdrawn. Far from having- an opportunity for rest and ���������recuperation after the struggle on Gallipoli the Ottoman army was forced almost over night to prepare to meet a strong and determined offensive on its opposite frontier and over a front, including three active ' zones, of more than three hundred miles. This was Russia's contribution to the game of "worrying tho Turk." x -ugj-uxiir r SuLfpGJ mjjpu-rt Required Importance of Independent Educational Work in Protecting Wild Life There is no dearth, in Canada of governmental agencies actively engaged in conserving bird ami animal life. While the work is mainly in the hands of the provinces, several branches of, the federal government are-also rendering invaluable service. Unfortunately, popular support of official nieas- sures, which is the most potent single factor in insuring their success, is very much lacking. The most serious obstacles and difficulties arise from the lack of strong unofficial societies to carry on independent work. The great advance of wild life protection in the United Slates, in recent years, is due largely to the efforts of such bodies as the American Game Protective and Propagation association, the National Association of Audubon Societies, the Camp Fire club and the American Bison Society, Similar organizations exist in Canada, and the excellent work of the Canadian Society for the Protection of Birds, the Independent Naturalists Association, the Dominion Game Protective and Trap-Shooting Association and others can not be too highly commended. But Canadian organizations of this character have failed to develop their efforts and to utilize their opportunities to the extent which their field of usefulness permits and invites. It must be recognized that, while the in- iative in game law reforms may come from public, officials, the success of practical measures requires popular support, which, in. turn, must depend upou persistent educational efforts. The scope along these lines for independent societies is unlimited, and it is to be hoped that, as the need for better protection of wild life becomes steadily more apparent, this branca of the work will be successful in enlisting the services of an increasing number of active workers. Believed to bs Planted Off Coast of Labrador Declaring that he has positve "knowledge of a cache of treasures in the North Atlantic near the Canadian coast, Milton McMillan, wealthy ''sailor of fortune," is preparing an expedition by sea to hunt for the gold. Associated with him are Captain Ward, | an aged navigator and two wealthy ' citizens of Los Angeles. Mr. McMillan, who, eight years ago brought to the notice of some American scientists, the areheological value of the relics of San Nicholas island, talks freely of the proposed treasure hunt..until he is interrogated regarding the exact location of tho island. Then he is silent. He says the gold and jewels���������hidden by a pirate chief, of course, a la Stevenson���������is secreted on a mushroom shaped island somewhere off the coast of Labrador. His faith in the idea that he will bring to light of the 20th century the horde of a pirate of the 18th is shown by his extensive buying of supplies for the trip, which. \ will be made via the Panama Canal. He says this island is just one ledge of birdseye porphyry looming our. of the deep, altitude 300 feet, o50 feel long and 150 feet wide. The location is safe for navigation near to the island only two months out of the year, he says, because of the storms which visit those latitudes. The sea captain, Ward, whose grandfather roamed the deep in the early part of the 19th century, brought the story of pirate wealth hidden in the reef. Captain Ward says he got the word from his grandfather, who in turn received it from his grandfather, that one of the blood-thirsty robbers of the sea who scuttled many a good ship during colonial days hid his booty of years on this island and then had to sail away and die somewhere.

Previous to that very little beer was sold. Whiskey, brandy and other spirituous liquors were used. The average consumption of alcohol was at.that time one and one-thix'd gallons per head annually. The beer consumption has increased by leaps and bounds. The breweries now turn out over sixty-five million barrels of beer annually. Tho annual consumption of alcohol per capita in the form of beer is over one and one- half gallons. This means that now there is more alcohol consumed per capita in the form of beer than was Haphazard Recruiting Industries Suffering Unnecessarily Through the Present Method The following memorial to the Dominion government was passed hy the Hamilton Reci'iiitrip- League, March 7ri916: " Whereas, this Dominion is engaged in a war involving the very existence of British institutions���������a war that calls for the most rigid economy of men and means���������a war that can be successfully concluded only by the fullest utilization of all our resources. Whereas, under the present voluntary system there is great waste of the nation's resources. The Hamilton Recruiting League humbly begs the government of Canada to appoint a commission for the purpose of: (a) Taking, a census of all men in the Dominion from 18 years of age and upward, specifying those married and unmarried. (b) Classifying the men according to their occupations or their fitness or preference l'or certain kinds of work. (c) Classifying the industries with a viewT to the restriction or the ultimate elimination of such as are nonessential to the welfare of the country or are not economic factors.

Wheu right in front of one of the homelike residences, a tira on their automobile blew out. The day was hot, the travellers were tired and dusty. Changing a tire is no easy task ut anv tin**"' bvt ^n. a h-"** *-".tmf'*izv afternoon in the residential district of a strange town, the job was a real tragedy for two touselled and grimy travellers, having a fair degree of pride. Operations had not been carried far before the owner of the homelike place sauntered out, inquired of the travellers where they Avere- from, where they were going and otherwise made himself agreeable. He invited the lady tourist to conic up on the porch with his wife, where there was an easy chair, cool shade and au abundance of ice water. After the tire had been changed, the tourists were invited to wash up and to rest and refresh themselves. Can you imagine a more appreciated courtesy? This man, the owner of the homelike place in the little town, was the leading merchant and his attention to the strangers was nothing more nor less than his everyday business policy. He told the tourists all about the little town and the prosperous farming community that surrounded it, and upon which it depended for support. He said that he knew all the members of every farmer's family within his trade district; that h'e had visited every house and he made it a practice to do so at frequent intervals. He started in business twenty-five years ago with a capital of $500. Today he is in comfortable circumstances and doing a larger business than at any time during his experience. Merchants like this man make the home town the most valuable asset in the community. A good home town enhances the value of every acre of land in the vicinity; it makes every farm a more desirable place to live. The home town is the best investment a farming community can have and it only requires the good will and cooperation of the business men and the farmers to make it pay big dividends, socially aud financially, to every- family in the community, both town and country. consumed sixty years ago in the form ( claim a share of the credit that is due What Canada Spends Enormous Total of War Expenditures For the Present Year "The oxpenriiLuro for war purposes In Canada will aggregate ."PGOO,- 1)00,000 within tho present calendar year," according to the estimate .of tho March letter of the Canadian Hank of commerce.

Canada has without doubt attracted to tho colors a very superior class of men who arc actuated by the noblest principles of patriotism und duty. Very many of these have left positions of great importance for which competent men cannot be found. Almost overy industry und family is suffering unnecessary loss through the present haphazard method of enlistment. The first class of men who should be called upon for service nre the. unmarried lit men who could be released from their present occupations without serious loss lo anyone. Probably this class would suffice to com pi eli- tho forces which Canada is pledged to supply.

Why We Took Over Corfu A.Greek merchant residing in Great Britain writes to remind people that Corfu was given as a present to Greece by Great Britain, with other Ionian islands, but there was a distinct condition attached to ihe occupation by Greece in the Treaty of 186:!, and that was that the dynasty 'must not walk rough shod over the Constitution of the country. The monarchy of Greece in short, was to be ;i Constitutional one. it had not been that during 1015 -������������������It had been an autocratic monarchy. The Treaty guaranteed tho Independence of Greece as a Constitutional monarchy, and having given tliat guarantee, tho guarantee]r.g powers had a perfect right to sec that the Constitutional government was not violated by tho king. That Constitution had been violated by holding two elections in a year, and by the unconstitutional dismissal of tho last ministry, and therefore tho guaranteeing powers had the right to interfere. Waste in Forest Protection Because of lack of field supervision, more money is wasted in fire protection today than is used economically. Fire wardens arc nearly all temporary men. und if one does not give them supervision and training, and does not try lo keep the good men from ,vear Co year, one cannot get the results desired. In tho first lire protection service p. of Canada, far more ward onn were wasting money than were making good ubo of it. Unless wo have good permanent supervision of lire protection and have the same men as P'-rinanont rangers year after year we will not. get the good results beenuse we have large areas io protect with verv small sums of money. .McMillan. r..-.rlcy cr Or.lr. r'nr.t "I Know that a number of farmers think outs nhotihl cutnc bei'mv barley in thi!

For the first time in years, every one in the United Kingdom has work and all the work they can do. And what is moro every one is working. All the women, of the high and low degrees, are employed. Every man. woman or child is doing his or> her bit. A remarkable- feature of the present economic life in England is the number of women who are working at trades that used to employ men exclusively. There are thousands of them in the munition plants and they told me that the women make the best sort of labor for this class of work, as tliey are capable of handling lhe finest tools with facility after a short training. All England is adjusting itself to the new conditions and malting the best of things. "For the first timo in years, also, there is no suffering among tho poor, In fact, there are now no poor. The shortage of labor makes every hand, available and in families where four or five pounds a month used to be the income, they now received from thirty to forty. Of course, this leads to ex- traviigance in many cases and it is not uncommon for these families to buy pianos and other luxuries where "before the war they were thankful t������ get enough to eat. "I had occasion to meet a number of what we would call 'big business men,' and others intimately connected with the work being done for the empire, and they assured me that the recruiting was all that could be desired. "Everywhere I wont I found all the open places tilled Willi, soldiers. All lho parks, golf courses, playgrounds, und schoolyards were being vised, and I heard it said several times that the full 4,000,(K)0 men required had been obtained. "One. ot the reasons, that Englishmen feel so confident about the outcome of the war is that, perfect cooperation has been established among the allies. They are practically one great nation, armed lo defend itself against the Germans. In England they receive things they need from lho French and Russians, to say nothing of tho Kalians, and lhe latter, on the othor hand, get their necessities from England. There is perfect co-operation in finance, manufactures, the making of munitious, the supplying of tho armies, and, best of all, at the front where tho real worlc of the- war is being done. "1 found England making preparations for the reconstruction period after tho war. Th������ Manchester hoard of "trado at its annual meeting practically decided to abandon the principles of Cobden and give up free trade. It decided to fight for n tariff that would cxehwlo German goods from tho United Kingdom after lho war, and this is the .sentiment all over England. "It is felt universally In Groat "Britain that the empire in fighting tho light of democracy, and all classes are taking tho war with philosophy and a. grim determination to tight to the bitter end. Several examples of this feeling came to my direct notice. At. u board meeting in "Manohostor. the 1'ha.irniitn was called oulnide thv- board room to jvecive a telegram, ll. \ta:. from London and told of the death of his son at tile front, llo read it, and on .bis return to the room apologized for delaying the business of lhe moment by saying that he had been notified of ills son's death at iho front. lie then went on wil.li the bn:'in<:-.*:-. just as though nothing bad happened, nllhough 1 could see tbo lines lighten about hi:*, square mouth.
