When, this state of affairs is brought about each individual will be benefited, directly or indirectly, but in either event the benefits will surely be noticeable. It behooves us then, one and all, to make some sacrifice at this time and assist with our presence at Creston on next Saturday the great effort novv being made to get two great governments definitely interested in reclaiming a 75.000 acre .tract'of overflowed land. Another 35 or 40 persons will go to Croston on the- steamer Crescent, which will leave Bonners at 0.80 a.m. Arrangements have boen made for the steamer trt proceed past Porthill to within a mile of Ci'eston where a fleet'of Canndiun iiutos will bo on hand to tako tho Bonners delegation on to town.

Just ask for free- zone. Apply a drop or two directly upon a tender corn or callus and instantly the soreness disappears. Shortly you will find the corn or callus so loose that you can lift, it oft", root and all, with the fingers. Not a twinge of pain, soreness or irritation; nol even the slightest smarting, cither when applying freezone or afterwards. This drug doesn't ent up the corn or callus, but shrivels 'them, so they loosen aiul come right otit. It is no humbug! It works like a charm. For a few cents you can get rid of every hard corn, soft corn or corn between thc toes, as -well as painful calluses on bottom of your feet.

Results so Satisfactory That There Is Small Chance of Return to Old Order Recently the Russian ministry of finance published a volume in which it discussed the effect of the prohibition of vodka upon the Russian people. The review covers the period -froni July, 1914, to April, 1915: but while it covers less than a year it is well worth noting its conclusions, lt declares that while drunkenness has decreased,, church-going has increased; and while vodka shops havc disappeared, their place has been taken by tea-houses and eating- houses. Village life has been changed for the better, and prosperity is much in evidence. It is asserted that- suicides have decreased considerably while.thieving, murder, street fights and such like have decreased in some localities on the average about 46.4 per cent. The health of the people has improved; and beggars have almost disappeared." On account of the village houses being built of wood and straw, fire has been a terrible scourge; but prohibition has lessened the fire rate from 20 to 40 per cent. The deposits iu governmental savings banks have increased iu an extraordinary degree, and in the. province of Perm alone thc population has added about $8,000,000 to its wealth in this way.- The abolition of vodka has greatly increased the efficiency of labor in some cases, in the Moscow industrial district the increase being as high as 25 per. cent. Thc people generally seem glad that the curse has been banished, tliere seems���������smalj probability the republic will return to tlic :'which the empire put under the ���������Chfistiati Guardian. Will Try To Excite^ity Look Out for This Trick "We learn from a source that is generally trustworthy that theV Germans on their part contemplate the possibility of having recourse to the stratagem of a pseudo-revolution. It has, we are informed, been decided in high quarters to excite the pity of the Allies^ and to induce them to conclude-'an illusive peace by stimulating an intention to introduce a regime of democratic liberalism in Germany. The supreme head of the state has been induced to promise temporary reforms ofvso radical a nature that the Allies could * not help being impressed by them. "This metamorphosis of Germany Would, of course, last only until a favorable peace had been concluded. As thc memory of thc war faded, Prussia would gradually revert to the old state of affairs, but the aim would *have been achieved and Germany would- have been saved by ephemeral concessions, We are assured that German agents are working actively and cleverly in the im terest of the propagation of this great German plan."���������Gazette de Lausanne, (Switzerland)..-.

Naturally the Tories are for it, as well as many Liberals, but at that THE REVIEW is not quite sure the institution would accomplish all its friends imagine. To our way of thinking Creston has too many suspicious politicians to give such an association a real harmonious existence��������� no matter how patriotic and well- intentioned its average member��������� and it is more than probable that public and private utterances of those more prominent in -win-the- war league circles would be so expounded and expanded, to say nothing of discolored, that the outcome would be more harm than good to the win-the-war cause.

Come to think of it prohibition will militate against weather prophesying in the future. Take Mayor Little, for instance, many of his prognostications were based on the hang of the moon; a straight up and down orb of night signifying dry weather, and a lying down one, wet. There will be no more of the latter, surely. Arthur Johnson of the Revelstoke Review is the first of the interior newspaper fraternity to go to his political reward. He has just been named gold commissioner at that point. His editorial successor is Walter Jordan, an ox- riAirnnnnnft rtmmf o������..n.n������irnr*������nirio-r*mil'r> and all round good citizen that Revelstoko is fortunate in securing at this time.

Its advantages are many. In ensures, so far as is humanly possible, a uniform pack���������a factor that has to be taken account of in the average season when supply exceeds demand and buyers oan pick and choose their fruit.

It would effectively debar stuff going out on the over or under ripe side along with fruit gathered at the proper stage, and thereby forcing down tho prico of tho latter- It would save labor, wo aro told, in that were services of a few fast packers scoured at the oentral warohouso thoy oould do double tho work of ordinary packers, and do it hotter ao woll. Incidentally it would uimpliiy things ior tho fruit inspectors. Against all this will bo urged tho foot that tho ranohor oan do somo of his own packing and thus save tho oight or ten oento a box that goon to tho hired help, and necessitate erecting a central packing house, and there is no finance insight to take care of it. Too, Creston Valley, it can be cited, tried that plan on tomatoes with none too great success. However, to the uninitiated it would seem that if Creston is to keep pace with the. modern trend of things, and to retain a foremost place on the buyers' worth-while list of purchasing centres the central pack must come���������and come quickly. Possibly the financial difficulties oould be overcoiae by eredtihg p combined paoteing^shed and a cool storage warehouse, aiid thus be in shape to withold part of the crop for the higher prices that in variably obtain say in February or March. On these cool storage premises we underttand the authorities at Victoria advance 80 per cent, of the cost repayable in easy instalments and at moderate interest. If the later-fruit prices are as high as is sometimes stated the venture should be worth while for a centre so advantageously situated as this. In these days of strenuous financing the idea. is liable to get scant courtesy, but if there is anything to commend the policy of preparedness the present order of things will have* to be revised shortly in view of the big increase in production the next three years will bring, aud now is as good a time as any to at least start thinking the matter over.

The sugar-producing areas of India, the West Indies, Mauritius, Natal, aud Australia could produce all, and more than all, the cane sugar needed. Had we in Great Britain an industrial policy worthy of thc name, wc could have produced 1,300- 000 tons of" beef sugar which w*e bought from Germany and Austria in 19J3( and should not be paying 6<\. :\ pound for Cuban sugar and be limited to 3-4 lb. a week today.

British and French prisoners who have recently been transferred from Germany to Switzerland. The writer defines the prisoner's life as composed of good and bad days. "Sometimes wc French enjoyed ourselves aud at other times wc lived through somber hours. Our greates pain was of a moral nature. The separation from those we loved; the duration of our captivity, thc absence of reliable news and the state, of uncertainty and insecurity in which we lived exercised a fatal, influence over the great mulibcr of *tts.

Opinions Expressed on This Vital Question Throughout Canada "We look to the resources of Canada,, andto the indomitable energy of Canadians for an 'answer' 'fiat will shatter Germany's threat of starvation," sayS Baron Rhondda, food controller of Great Britain in a message to Hon. W. J. Hanna, food controller, of ��������� Canada. "The primary duty of a food con ��������� troller in- Canada and the United States," said. Hon. W. J. Hanna, in a .recent interview, "is to see that, the men at the. front do not suffc from want of.food, and that our Mother Country and our European Allies should not suffer from want of food." "Have you poSver to check prices?" Hon. W. J. Hanna was asked. ; "Certainly." ;���������:' "Arc you going to exercise it?" ��������� "In thc cases where we have, the. necessary data 'we will not hesitate to check prices," declared Mr. Pkvn- na. -.-���������������������������'.��������� Sir William Hearst, premier of Ontario, fears that shortage of food supplies will hinder the Allies in winning thc war. "We-'must look calmly and fearlessly at the present situation. Unless there is greater thrift, economy and conservation of food, there will be a shortage ������������������of--supplies to Great Britain and her Allies that will hinder her chances of winning the war." said Premier Hearst. "The majority of the people e.at too much, anyway," said Miss Eddie, professor of household science, at the Manitoba agricultural college, when discussing the Canadian food controller's suggestion that hotels and restaurants institute two meatless days a week. "And limiting hotel i menus to two or three courses is a fine" idea." The food controllers of Canada aud thc United States will work iu mutual harmony and understanding. Hon. W. J'. Hanna, the Canadian food controller and Mr. Herbert Hoover, have known each other for some years. Britain in twelve months will have to import five months' supplies, according to the statement by Kennedy Jones, director general of food economy, Great Britain. His calculation included thc cereals at present on hand, the rate of submarine losses, the new tonnage to bc available and thc result of the campaign to eliminate food waste. Canada and t>e United States arc looked to for thc iixe months' supplies necessary to be imported. ��������� ��������� . "'Tt is in the homes of the province ���������of Ontario that the great battles we arc to face will have to be fought and won," declares Sir William Hearst, premier of Ontario, referring to the food controller's food conservation campaign. Premier Hearst's words apply to all Canada. "At first the call was,.for men, munitions, and money," says food controller Hanna. "Now the cry is for men, munitions and food." "Food controllers in the.

Reports to this ��������� effect are coming with increasing- frequency from a variety of sources. J. hus thc Amsterdam Visscherij Courant, aftcr citing other' testimony, says: '* 'We' saw* a letter today from a big German manufacturer who has o-'ten visited the kaiser, -saying that peace can be expected speedily.

Not long ago the dividend came in and hc waa r.tartled to find that: his check was out of all proportion to thc amount of money invested and much larger than he had ever received.

Memory Comes Back Again Three Years of Blank Before Famous War Mystery Is Solved ?n London A soldier in a London hospital, wounded in October, 1914, in the retreat from Mons, who had lost: his memory completely and had never been identified, has "come back" after nearly three years and a famous war mystery has been solved. Thc "man's picture was printed recently aud was seen by Joseph Butler, of London. He suspected that i< was his brother and sent an old friend to visit the mystery man. The moment thc visilov entered the room the patient recognized him and, en1 led cheerily, "Hello .Tack. Conn' and sit here and talk with me."

The remarkably rapid evolution of heavier-than-air flying machines, during the three years of the warl naturally suggests the question of* applying the war potentiality of this modern invention to some practical use in the next interval of peace. This attractive subject of conjecture is the theme of an interesting article by two British writers iu the July number of The Contemporary Review. In their opinion it will be feasible to build, immediately after the war, passenger aircraft/ "each of which will carry twenty-five or fifty people at an average speed of nearly a hundred miles an hour; these to be followed later by larger craft, fitted with motors developing < thousands'-"of horse-power, which should attain a speed of from two hundred to three hundred miles. The potentiality of the "airplane is unquestionable; : its evolution for peace purposes and service is a matter of co-operation among inventors, organizers, and capitalists. Some of * the possibilities of achievement in travelling are move than interesting. Instead of a business man consuming seven hours in travelling by sea and rail between London and Paris, he will be able to make it comfortably in twxy Thc time needed for crossing the Atlantic and returning between Britain and America will be reduced to forty- eight hours. A Russian business man may embark on an airplane at Petrograd in the morning aud find himself in London the same evening, avoiding all frontier delays* the use of passports, and other irritating and delaying obstacles. These and other illustrations are no longer the figments of the visionary; they are quite within the feasibilities of jprac-* tical life. The collaborating aviators ���������Claude Graham White and Harry Harper���������-'are practical men, and their speculative forcshadowings are weli within the bounds of moderation.^ The question of comparative risk, as among modes of travelling by 1-knd, sea, and air, respectively, is dealt with, and so is the need of a common speech, like Esperanto, as a means ojf cosmopolitan communication. The danger from accidents, such as collisions or explosions, is even now hardly greater in the air than it is on the sea-^or land, and in the long rtm it may bc very much less. As in *the case of an ocean liner, which is driven by many engines and boilers, some of whicli may be out of use without any worse effect than lessening thc speed of the vessel, .so the. airplane of the future will be fitted with multi-engines driving a number of independent propellers.���������Toronto Globe.

Local visitors to the Nelson fruit fair last week state that the. showing there in both cookery and ladies' work was hardly in the same class as the exhibit at Creston���������either in quantity or quality. Thos. Parker, Nelson, inspector of weights and measures, paid Creston an official visit the early part of the week. The Installation of the si-ton platform scales by R., Lamont adds a little more work to this official. Next week's social fixture is the card party the ladies of Holy Cross church are giving in the Grady building on Fourth street on Wednesday evening, Oct. 3rd. In addition to whist there will probably be musical features as well.

Young, 2 pairs; and Mesdames Cherrington, Hayes and Aspey (Sirdar) one pair each. Another ^good result of the reclamation meeting was the industry of the chairman of the decoration committee, K. 8. Beyan, and his associates in elevating the soldiers memorial tablet about two feet, putting a commodious platform under it, and niiing in ail around it for a matter of six feet with earth and grayel. Also, a tidy little flagpole with guy rope, etc., was built ,,������������ l-h������-05S*a-'h the SsSS'liSS SssSCs EsO.V It vvill be possible to fly the flags up a matter of 13 or 15 feet above the monument.

A young son of Mr. and Mrs. A. N. Couling was severely burned from the knees up on Wednesday morning. Just how the mishap came about is not known. It appears both parents had gone ta look after some work outside, leaving the little fellow in bed, but in their absence the boy bad gotten up and over to the stove, where by some means his nightgown bad caught fire, and before his cries brought the mother in the little fellow had suffered severe' burns, more especially on -the chest, due to the fact that he was also wearing an undervest at the time. Dr. Henderson was immediately summoned, and at writing the little fellow is making a satisfactory recovery.

The 'amended *cohtract submitted to the promoters did not meet with their approval, and as the 20 local guarantors could not see their way clear to obligate themselves for more than the $000 the revised bargain called for in round figures, the incident is closed. Root. Stark spent the latter part of the week in Nelson, returning on Saturday.

Kootenay���������at Fernie, Nelson and Revelstoke. R. G. L. Clarke, Vancouver, chief Dominion fruit inspector for B.C., who was here on his 1017 "visit bn Thursday and Friday last, after a trip through all the fruit-growing sections of the province, informs Tkk Restekw that on the whole this year promises to be one of the most remunerative seasons the B.C. fruit growers have had for some time, barri ng, of course, the strawberry men who, although they realized splendid prices, had not anywhere near the crop a normal season would have given them. Mr. Clarke was immensely pleased with what he say on a tour of inspection of Valley orchards, particularly as to the quality of the fruit. The R.J. Long ranch particii������a"r-*y too������ his fancy, on account of the general good appearance of things, but more especially due to the e^tra fine lot of Delicious apples the Woodbine has to show; fruit, Mr. Clarke says, that cannot be excelled any where in B.C., and he is hoping some of it wil] be shown at the Spokane fair, The W, V. Jackson ranch also took his fancy. Here, too, the benefical effects of extensive cultivation in a dry season is in evidence in better* than an average crop in a year that is supposed to be a light one. The Jackson MclntoBh Reds ������������xcited Mr. Clarke's favorable comment, as well as the Wealthys, which for size and color would be hard'. to -excel in most years. Although not in a position to speak definitely on the Valley crop as a whole, the inspector said his observations here last year and this led him to the opinion that the 1017 yield would be almost as large as 1016, while the quantities ,of ones, twos and threes would be' much, heavier on the two former grades- than was "the case a year ago. In no part of B.C. will the 1917 apple crop exceed that of 1916, except in some parts of the Okanagan where the increased production might run as high as 10 per cent. Now that the Valley wakened np to the urgency- of turning off only the higher grades of fruit and has equipped ivith- spraying outfits vtb*r ensuro- its production, 'Mri"'���������*' ClSrlce nrges that immediate attention no** be* given to establishing af central* ^packing waffe- hcuse at Creston.1' I& worth has been 1 demonstrated at Okanagan y and Boundary points, and with the ever- increasing apple output here the matter cannot well be much longer postponed if Creston Valley fruit is to retain a foremost place oh the prairie market. In addition to ensuring a uniform pack of fruit being assured the Valley, the scheme is also a labor saver in that three first-class packers working under these conditions can do at least double the.work of the ordinary rancher-packer���������-and if the war continues even another season this labor shortage pi-obleui will be just as acute here as it is in otber points in B.C. right how. Too, the central pack should mean that the different varieties would all be shipped in their season and it would be possible, too, to load cars of but one or few varieties instead of the mixed lots that now go out. The central pack, too, would ensure that the cars would be loaded with uniformly-matured fruit and not, as sometimes happens now with-many kinds, some of it a little too ripe and a little more of it a -little inmatnre. Incidentally the system would very much simplify the the work of inspection, although. Mr. Clarke states that this year violations of the Fruits Marks "Act have been fewer than ever before.
