Instead of beinr nn evil work is the greater blcHiing in the -votU. Those who have to work too liard re not more unfort!inaie than ho mho have never known the joy f vxrful cTfoit. As a matter of fact dm nan could ever be so rich that his coa or daughter chould not have to 'wwric, any more than they should cx mpfc from eating, sleeping or walking.

C. The 'British Columbia farm loan act, based upon the New Zealand sys tem, has been in operation for a yeir and a half, and results are beginning to show, at least on the financial side. The act authorized tho borrowing of 115,000,000 to be administered by 3 commission, which would issue gov ernment guaranteed debentures.

The Observer Job Printing Department PHONE MAIN 37 Tho greatest need for Wallow outily probably is for a scientific study of its soils and climate, and experi ments to determine what crops aio best suited for all localities, and how they should be grown. An increasci- ing quality of wheat and vuley ia produced each year, certain districts seeming perfectly adapted to these cereals. But there are thousands of acres of the most fertile soil in the county which owing to location and climatic conditions, are not yielding all tin y should. The man who will bring out cereal forago plant, or vegetablo that can be widely and profitably grown in the intensive, short season prevailing hero and will not be too sensitive to the chill nights of a mountain climate; that man will add more to tho wealth of the comity than would a prospector who discovered a ledge of gold in the mountains. The hay crop of Colorada is worth more in dollars than the gold mined in its great camps. Any farmer who makes an experi ment along those linos, is invited to report this result for the benefit of others. There oucht to be expeii menta on a score of farms each year for in such tests lies much hope of gain for all. Enterprise Record g '"is ,n?ri S i i nR i Coffee does disagree with many. And in these days of accurate scientific knowledge there's no virtue in appearing astonished when this truth is faced. Caffeine (the druii in coffee, and in tea also) leaves the system ih an over worked and debilitated state, and is responsible for various serious ills and discomforts.
