Guy Constable got ' back on 'Sunday from Trail, wherp he had spent the two days previous attending a special meeting of the A^Booiatod Boards of Trade, .which is.'endeavoring to acttlo the strike at the big smelter in that town, though so far the effort has not been very encouraging. At prat-out it looks as if tho big works would bo shut down for an Indefinite period. There is vory slow demand for lead and tho' smleter hns nn enormous stock of it on hand. this polling station, among least half a dozen ladies. A 24-pound radish, grown at the Panl Hac-en ranch, is on exhibition at the postoffice these days���just slightly smaller in size than the best effort at cabbage-growing at Alice Siding we are told. War has taken heavy toll of the fighting men who have gone oyerseas from Wynndel. Of eight men who have seen seryice in France four haye been killed in action already, and at present only one of the lot is in shape for trench duty. John Johnson is busy this week erecting a commodious new packing shed on his ranch here. Misses Patterson and Long, tbe revivabit9 who held seryices here during the summer, were Wynndel visitors oyer the week-end. Another name has to be added to the scroll of Wynndel soldiers of empire "gone west." The unpleasant tidings came on Thursday last that present. Wm. Goodman is the new permanent agent at Sirdar, succeeding Mr. Swanson. He comes from Crowsnest. Mrs. Goodman and the family will arrive in a couple of weeks. Mrs. Jones of Kuskanook was a visitor at Sunshine Bay last week, with Capt. and Mrs. McCarthy. Mrs. Loasby was a Cranbrook visitor over the week-end, while C M. was recuperating at Creston.

He was scarcely 21 years of age und his passing's keenly felt by the whole community, in which he was everywhere popular. yesterday. Sirdar did itself proud in the purchase of Victory Bonds. To date our patriotic citizens have invested in' over $10,000 worth of them ��nd ihe total will go higher before the final date for taking applications. Section foreman Mike Marsico and wife came home on Monday after spending a few days with Spokane friends, and taking in the apple show. O. F. Hayes of Creston was an over-night visitor here on Monday making up the list of yoters for Sirdar for the election next month.

Eventually he wrote down King's name and address in a book, and taking'-a-card; a part of which was already filled in in print, he completed it with certain instructions. "If you will give this to the attendant," he said, "he will See that the course is properly carried out. Now, my instructions to you are simple.

"At���������four o'clock in the afternoon?" he said, a little blankly. "Not then, in the early morning?" "Ob, no, no, certainly not!" answered the physician. "Four in thc afternoon���������that is the time for you. Come back in a fortnight and tell me how you feel." And he bowed King put with many smiles, and King went away, suddenly conscious that he had failed in his object, which was to get into the ���������medicated .bath establishment first thing in the morning. "I shouldn't wonder if that was all a put-up job," he mused, "and if this doctor is one of the gang. What easier than to keep a medico; to prohibit folks from going there at inconvenient hours? Four o'clock?��������� that's quite respectable. Well, I'm not going there today, anyway. I'll try this other tack first." King went northward at noon, and lunched at Frascati's, and after he had idled an hour away over a cigar, he got into a taxi-cab and bade its driver take him to Maida Vale. It was three o'clock when he walked into thc hall of a great block of flats which towers high above the placid waters of the canal, and he looked meditatively at his watch as he stepped int an elevator and demanded to be carried to a certain floor.

His hostess stretched a inuch-beringed hand to the easiest chair. "Take a pew," she said. Then she stood and stared at him. "Good Lord!" she exclaimed. "I haven't seen you for���������is it two years?" "About that," replied King. "Must be. Well, you aren't changed any, either. Look here���������I'm making tea���������good tea���������not cat-lap.

She whisked out of the room and presently whisked back with a clattering of china and a scent of fragrant Hysau, and she hospitably poured out tea for her visitor and helped herself. "Well, I'm real glad to see you, anyway," she said after a while, having stared at King as if he , were some strange animal. "Two years it is, isn't it?

"As ever was," responded King. The lady helped herself to a morsel of cake and began to nibble. "'Where?" she demanded. "Coming out of the medicated baths," replied King coolly. "Just that. You see, Lydia, if you will have the loveliest figure and the neatest ankles in London, you can't very well hide them fiom eyes that know them as���������as well as mine do." King's hostess opened her great eyes; hcr lips parted to show' the pearly teeth -jyhich half the world knew froni photographs and she first smiled and then laughed.

"DiiL That's why I've come to sec you this afternoon," said King. "Why you've come to see me this afternoon?" she repeated. "But��������� why?" King set down his teacup and leaned forward. "I wajfct to know what #you were doing^TS that place at seven o'clock in the morning." he said. ."Isn't it a place where people go for baths?" she asked, watching him narrowly. "Perhaps. But they don't go���������all of 'em, at any rate, by. (way of the Amaranth Club and Barthelemy's house at one and two o'clock in the morning," said King. Lydia Linkinshaw kept her eyes on himy from over the rim of her cup. Long practice on the stage had taught her how to control her facial muscles; nevertheless, King caught a little tremor which flickered around the corners of her lips. . " "What's-'the**-frame, Bannic?" she asked quietly. "Yes���������it is a game," admitted Kiug.^ "And I want you to take a hand in it. Now, Lydia, straight, as they say here���������are you in to make a bit of the ready?" "What do you think! I'm hard up ���������as usual," she answered, laughing. "Very well.

Now then ���������tell me what I believe you.cari tell me, and I'll give you another three hundred���������cash down, Lydia!" The girl took up the envelope, toyed with it, finally slipped it into thc folds of her kimono. "What is it?" she asked, a'little uneasily. "Say what it is���������first." King nodded. "AU right. Don't be afraid," he said. "Now then���������I want to know what goes on in Barthelemy's house after the Amaranth Club is closed, Lydia. You know!"

Sefton Delmer. He, Australian born, had lived for twenty years past in Germany,^ during the latter part of the time being a professor in the Uni- veisity of Berlin. From thc outbreak of the war until Iiiay of this year, he was a civil prisoner in Berlin."* He was able, however, to go about under restrictions, and to see something of his university friends. .What he writes of their change of opinion is instructive. He declares: "Before the war the intellectual class.es of Germany were almost to a man on the side of the Kaiser. But many of these people, who in Aug- _, . r , ,mm, ust** 1914������ Jauded Iheir ruler to the The need for people to be healthy skies as a new Charlemagne, now Is urgent. Those whom illness has shrug their shoulders at him and his put outside the ranks of robust men house. They put the disaster which and women feel their position keen ly. They are handicapped in every walk of life and weak men and nerve-worn women need more earnestly than eve. to put their health right and become active and strong. Many who began "patching" months, ago are as iIl~rlow as ou thc day they bega.n vainly tinkering with common drugs. Every airing man and woman should remember that the _ ills of debility, nerve exhaustion, indigestion, sleeplessness, neuralgia, and depression come from, a faultv blood supply. Worry, over-work or other causes have impoverished the blood and left the life-stream impure. The nerves thereby are starving and the whole system is languishing fo������* new blood. In this^ condition many thousands have won back strong nerves and new health and strength through Uif nvw rich blood Dr. ��������� Williams' Pink Pills actuaity makes.

Right her������ in Creston Valley more than one father has a son who has gonethrough all this hardship and cannot get furlough nor even any worth-mentioning leave from duty. When those fellows left here you cheered them off and inwardly, if not audibly, vowed to do everything possible to ensure their home-coming at the earliest possible date. To make good on your promise troops, and more troops must Be sent across forthwith. Down in the bottom of yoar heart you know conscription is the surest, quickest and in every respect the best way to secure these men.

When our boys are offering their lives for their country we should refuse to consider it even a patriotic act to support an administration pledged to ease the suffering of the men on the firing line to the greatest possible degree, and equitably adjust the burdens of war upon those who must remain at home. Many of us cannot lend money to the goverment but we refuse to believe that when the choice is votes or blood that any man or woman can hesitate. Thirty thousand of our relatives sleep in' the fields of France and Elanders, and while their voices are forever silent, their spirits call to us to do onr duty in this great crisis, and see that Canada's honor is vindicated at this time and at this hour. less hallowe'en amusement/, such as ift-a^g dooi-b^ tacks on windows; and some other annoyances that have come to be looked for on this evening but acts that do personal injury or cause property kiss are neither sane or lawfiil, and should everywhere be disconutenanced if the rising generation is to be trained up in the way it should go.

Them art- (M-itum foi-uiH of harm- To sell, or not to sell, that is the question that is agitating the minds of most B.C. growers just now; with the latter view prevailing very largely, as it is authoritatively estimated that of a 1917 crop of 94,417 tons only some 4000 tons have beeu shipped ont, and possibly 15,000 tons sold to evaporating plants. W, B. Scott, deputy minister of agriculture, strongly urges selling in quantities to at least assure an ample supply for the normal demand. Mr. Scott figures $25 a ton now will equal if not exceed prices that will obtain nest spring when allowancey- isv" made for shrinkage and re-handlihg, and never overlooking theP. probability pf the food controller fixing a stated price any fine day now. Besides, Canada has a whole, as well as the United States, has a big production this yeaiy and undue hoarding for the big price in the spring, is liable to find the spring market many times' over- supplied and a consequent drop in prices. * Some wholesalers are claiming that they never saw so many diseased potatoes on the market as there are now. If the* spuds that are being pitted are of the same sort there is a danger that when pits are opened in the * spring growers may find they have no potatoes fit to sell. In view of the energy Mr. Scott is expending to induce growers to sell freely, coupled with crop statistics as to the year's yield, and keeping in view the possibility of prico regulation the safest play would seem -to be to sell now. Unless abnormal conditions prevail this winter the prospects are not for much hTgher prices. Departmental statistics indicate that B.C. this year had a spud crop averaging close to six bushels to the aore of whioh 85 per cent, were marketable. It is figured that 47,356 tons will be needed to supply B.C.'s needs, while animal consumption will get away with another 7,700 tons, while at loast 0000 tons will be required for seed. On tho foregoing figures it would look as if thoro woro a lot of Irish in this province. 47,350 tons of murphies works out at about five-sixths of a pound of Irish apple-n cr.o.h clay for every woman and child in B.C.

Propagandists Into Supposing That This is a Commercial War, ' But Points Out the Utter Fallacy of Such Reasoning <^ That the American people are not "fighting to- make the world safe for democracy; but to make it safe for ' themselves, is the opinion expressed by Lord Northciiffe, head of the. British mission in the United States, iu an article printed in the October issue of Current Opinion Magazine. The article, which is headed, "What America Is Fighting For," says: . - "Jf this country had meant tc*vfake up arms in defense of British or French interests, or in the interest of Belgium, or in order to spread democracy, it would not have waited until April, 1917^ If its aims had been commercial, it would have been in the war long ago. The motive which brought *<the United States in was not sympathy for any other nation, was not desire^ for gain, was not an abstract fondness for democratic as opposed to autocratic government; it was self-interest, self- j_^pteservation, and self-respect." Lord Northciiffe says that the only way for America to make the world -safe for herself is.to make/Prussia admit - that her theory of a state which .has no conscience, a state which can do no wrong, is out of -date. "Thc German people," he adds, "have been purposely included into the belief .that/ they . are defending themselves" against foes who are set upon crushing them out of existence, tv design which nobody but a lunatic would conceive -.' or imagine possible of execution. Austria fancies that she- went to war to defend- herself against Russia, the truth being that she was used as a cat's-paw by the Hobenzollern gang. Bulgaria is still -under the delusion that she will gain the feward 'promised her by Prus-j sian Jtuikerdom for her treachery to ( her.Vfejl.6w Slavs. . ''Even among the-allies there exist misconceptions as to the causes and .aims -of the struggle. ..A number of English people -still' fancy that Britain could have kept out ..of the conflict if Belgium had not been invaded. These i>e6ple are still unable toiunderstand that Prussia's -object in forcing war upon France nnd Rus-;. sia was in order to clear them out of the way and be able to attack England, and, in course of time, the United States, with a good prospect of success later on. .

OM ft* tlMi*** throughout tht world, the crazy notion that the new republic has no interests of its own to defend agajnst Germany^ and - only remains in the war for the benefit *of France and Britain. I have even heard French people speak as if their country took up arms for the purpose of regaining , Alsace and Lorraine, whereas .-wc know that France would never have, brought upon the world thc frightful calamity of war "for selfislr--aims. -> "Here in the United States, I am told, and I hav������ discovered proof for myself, that there are people deluded by German and pro-German propagandists into supposing that 'this is a commercial war.' It is not very easy to make out exactly what these people mean hy that expression. So far as I can learn, they suppose that the cause of the war was conmicrciai rivalry, and that the combatants are each 'seeking, to obtain control of the world's markets." Denying that the allies are at war for commercial reasons, Lord Northciiffe asks:. ''What would have been the good of Britain going to war with Germany in order to secure markets? As soon as she had secured them, they would'have been* open to German as freely as to British trade. The German vice-chancellor, Dr. Helffrich, has asserted that Great Britain's object was "the economic oppression of Germany." How could Britain oppress any nation -economically as long as she allowed- thc, traders of all nations to compete with- her own traders upon equal terms?" \ "The peoples of the. British empire did not. want war. They, had nothing , to gain from war. They were threatened. They, were attacked. Whether Prussia Had invaded Belgium or not, Britain would have*been obliged.to fight in sclf-defehsc. It .was not Brussels that the Germans wanted when "for strategic, reasons" they marched their troops across the Belgian frontier which they, liacl signed a solemn contract to respect. They wanted Antwerp, -which Napoleon called, with clear-sighted understanding, "a pistol pointed ;it thc heart of England." They wanted an outlet for their ocean-going submarines. They wanted Calais. m "The delusion .industriously sown in the United St.ites by Germans and those who are in favor of Prussian- ism, including, I am sorry to say, many Irishmen, that Britain always fights for commercial advantages lias long been a Prussian slander. Trcit- schkc, the writer on whose teaching Kaiser Wilhelm II. was nurtured, taught that England's wars were, always undertaken with a view to the conquest of markets. He did not explain why England should take so much trouble to conquer markets, seeing that she gave the whole world, including Germany, thc bene-, ht of access: to them.".

Northern Ontario potatoes have become well known for their excellent qualities as seed.'/. Potato growers in the new district of Ontario find very little trouble with insect enemies and the seed gives carlier and larger yields. ..

Position of Invaded Serbia Becomes More and More Serious The following appeal for help and justice for the- starving Serbian people appears in "La Serbie," a weekly paper published by Serbs in exile, aj-id edited by Dr. Lazar Mirkavic, a professor of Belgrade university. The position o'f invaded Serbia becomes more and more serious. The population awaits help, which at present^ reaches it in an absolutely insufficient measure. The reasons invoked by the allied governments ^gainst the sending of foodstuffs to Serbia do- not preclude and ought not to preclude the sending of help which, while' relieving the famished Serbian population, would in no way weaken the effects ���������of the blockade. The Swiss committee for "Serbian relief provides a sufficient guarantee that the foodstuffs and, other indispensable articles will be distributed among the Serbian population and that.this distribution will-in no-way replace rations accorded by the invaders. As regards flour, in the first place there are in Serbia a great number of people who cannot get bread to eat oftener tjjan once a wej&k. Then there ^ire things that are_ totally lacking, for example, milk, which if sent to Serbia could - save the children who still remain alive from certain death. Clothing and shoes are no longer lo be had in Serbia, or arc so costly that the population is not in a position to obtain them. To supply all this to the Serbs would in no way diminish the effects of the blockade,, because the persons who would benefit would not cede their rations to the invader, for this simple reason that Ihey are receiving nothing from thc- invader. One sees, therefore^ that military necessities and the exigencies of the most elementary humanity can be reconciled, and with a little more good-will one could arrive at satisfactory results. J It is thc duty of the Serbian, representatives Jo explain to our Brit City of Berlin Now Given Oyer Criminals From a city of order, Berlin is beginning to become a city of disorder, as a lengthy and bitter report in the Berlin Tageblatt clearly shows. In the big railway sheds, where goods are received and distributed there is absolute chaos.- An almost endless array of packages, trunks, parcels of all descriptions, are scored ''icre in hopfless disorder; many have been stolen or lost. The public accuses the new officials of stealing them; the officials say that the .thefts are due to dishonest cabdrivers and untrustworthy forwarding agents. The great Berlin forwardiug agency declares that parcels of all descriptions arc stolen by thieves while thc conveyance arc passing through the streets The oagencj- in all soberness makes the astounding statement that Berlin is full of thieves, convicted criminals who have been refused' admission to thet army, serving to make the streets thoroughly unsafe. Another forwarding^ company says that it is useless bringing charges against the dishonest drivers, as there are so many of them that the Crown Prosecutor has given it up as a bad job. v Reporters Nip German Plots Girl Stenographer Used frS Trap Agents and Fist Fight Helps Calling attention to the "stupidity" of German intrigue in - the United Staves and revealing evidence of the German secret service, Dr. William T. Hornaday, director of the New York Zoological park, in "The Blunders of Germany," describes how a newspaper man successfully pitted himself agaispt tHe most astute agents of the Berlin government and exposed their plots. "One lonesome American newspaper man, John W. Rathom, o\ the Providence Journal, had the gall to plant an employee in a secretarial position at His Excellency von Bcrn- storff's elbow. Alscflic put a bright American girl stenographer (with a red pencil) in the office of the Austrian consul-general in New���������-York and .he planted an office on each side of thc fake passport- factory in New York. ".And it was a Providence Journal man .who changed portfolios -with the astute Dr. Albert, of Austria, and staged a fight in' a street car���������without extra charges���������-while ^that horrible mistake was being made.

We^make appeal to thc generosity so largely and so often displayed of the British, thc French, and the Americans, to rescue our unhappy compatriots from an appalling situation. One may say the same thing of the" Serbs interned and prisoners of war, whose fate is most tragic. What Britain Did Great Britain first_of- all-' up.set thc German plans, for <a quick and not- costly military victory ih Europe. Great Britain upset these plans by entering thc war and by sea power alone reversed the conditions which Germany hoped would prevail. German, not French ports were blockaded. Germany, not France, was thrown back upon herself and forced to rely upon intensive interior development of materials and manufacture. France was saved by the British fleet and the Germans recognized it by hating the British in a ferocious ecstacy.���������From the Chicago Tribune. y ?::WZ'&ttm> ::':&f&$}Wi, ���������V ���������-'j,V'/*-i.'.V'.������������������'��������������������������������� *��������� i the "The girl stenographer sat demurely on a big box of incriminating papers just prior to its-shipment to Germany, shai*iug .her-lunch with-the 'shrewd' von "Papen, and dreamily drawing two large red hearts on the box cover.

"The romance of the air," writes an aviator of some experience, "is a different# thing from mascots' aiid superstitions. It is noj bound up in ' the machines. It is something deep down in its own grim and callous self. Those who know it best acknowledge it least. And the pilots themselves���������do they speak of a "lucky" or an "unlucky" pilot? Never. They speak only of .a "good" pilot or a "bad" one. The only time a man is told he is lucky is when he has failed to break his neck despite bad piloting. Flying is a cruel mistress.
