MaSter-Player who made the game
there are no superfuous figure;
from king and bishop and knight,
down to the humblest pawn, there
is niche to fill, and each must do
it's part or the the game is married.
After all is said and done, the goal
of the game is happin ess and all
must play fair or somebody loses.
1t is an Elusive quality-this
thing that we call happiness. 1t
is SO easy to win through the me-
dium of the right exchange, it is
so easy to lose through the false
currency of injustice and lack of
fairness and happinea snd sympa-
thy.
Life is full of changes and
vicissitudes. Some of us go "all
the way to happiness and half way
back again" some of us attain the
gold and hold on it to; some of US
falter and fall in the quest, and
hungrily watch others flash by to
the winning.
But we may all know this; that
somewhere in the book of final
things it Is written on the debit
or credit eide of the ledger whether
we offered the right currency for
the prize, or whether our bid was
made in the spurious coin of
selishness.
And if it was the first, then all
is we'll, even if sorrows tears have
dripped on some of life's pages
But if it is the latter, then have we
failed indeed, for every mans hap
piness is knit to ;the happiness of
some one else; and if we spoil our
own chance we also despoil a |
friend.
And one of these days, in the
last and final accounting, that
cheated friend will be our sternest
accuser, our most uncompromising
witness in the court from which
there is no appeal. That cheated
friend may be an i'll used wife, a
neglected mother, an unrequitted
father, an i'll governed child; who
ever we sacrificed here will stand
stonily at the end of the race. wait |

Tchita, Trans-Baikalia, Siberia
The average man back at home in CIV
ilized parts Of the world does not real
ize that more than hundred tribes
and nations share Siberia with the
Russ. He has merely vague idea
that some nondescript natives called
Tartars dwell, or used to dwell, in
northern Asia.
1t is only quite recently, moreover,
that the chronological world has real
lied that the American Indian origi-
mated in these parts; the visit Of Pro-
fessor Hrdlicka, Of the Smithsonian,
two years ago was one Of the first
evidences America has shown Of her
intention to delve into the Immensely
rich and interesting field for research
that Siberia offers to the student Of
the origin of peoples.

left the city with one eye much

Shook thought that Cadmus had
eloped with Mrs. Shook, who wasn't
around the farm. The farmer met the

DIVERSIFICATION OF CROPS
Practice Embraces tho Elimination Of
Waste and Makes Farming a Rea-
sonably Sure investment.

Probably due to the fact that the
entire South has been a one-cTop coun'
try, there Is much difference OF opln-
ion among farmers, planters and even
writer's for newspapers, as to what
diversifcation of crops really means.
Some usually we'll informed people
labor under the impression that di-
versi1cation means the turning OF a
farm into a truck garden altogether.
Crop diversifcation means no such
thing. The highest idea OF crop di-
versihcation is the application Of sci
ence to the farming industry, Crop
diversifcation embraces the elimina-
tion of waste and makes farming a
reasonably sure undertaking and not
a gamble. The mere turning OF a
farm into a truck patch is not diversi-
ficaton. Diversihcation probably bears
the same relation to scientific farm
ing as the university idea does to a
liberal education.
There was time when the youth
who was seeking a higher education
had no choice whatever as to what he
should study to develop his mind. All
thinking along that line was done by
the faculty Of the school, The entire
college course, leading TO a bachelor
OF arts degree, was laid down by the
professors Of the school, and the pro
gram was as immutable as the laws OF
the Medes and Persians, But there
came a change In the administration
OF schools. Nowadays the youth in
school has q voice in what he shall
study. He may specialize along GER
tain line to his hearts content, but
the rules Of the school require that
he shall study certain branches, so
that his education may be well
rounded out.
The same idea should be equally
applicable to farming A farmer has
right to specialize on sugar cane,
cotton, rice or what not, but his farm
should be we'll rounded out, He should
not stake his entire time and capital
on a single crop. He ought not to have
to buy much more than sugar and
coffee. He certainly should not have
to buy feed for his live stock In fact
he should be Independent as far as
general food supply needs go. lie
should be q raiser Of hogs and cattle,
and not a buyer Of bacon and meat
Let the farmer select his hobby
crop" II he will but let him support
that crop with divers other things, 30
that when he does sell his hobby
crop" the money made therefrom VIII
represent real profit.
Again crop diyersiAcation may be
likened to n star actor and his cast,
II the star actor Is the entire show,
without regard to the supporting com
pany, the receipts at the box oflce
win drop of after the first perform
ance. II the supporting company OF
the leading actor is good, then the
star himself will show to better ad'
vantage and the treasurer OF the com
pany will wear smile,
Crop dyersiAeotion is not some
wonderful sleight Of hand trick, II Is
simply practical farming The one
crop idea IL based on a vision Di

"HYU, SALMON!" IS THE CRY
Indians Go to Cannerles for the Open
Ing Of the Season In the
Northwest.

Vancouver, B. CA little party OF
Indians from the tribes that inhabit
the west coast of Vancouver island
trickled through Vancouver in a riVu-
let Of barbaric color on their way to
the canneries. These tribesmen and
tribeswomen, whose ancestral history
has been more closely associated
with the salmon than with anything
else for hundreds Of years, for the sal
mon has always been their principal
food supply, come each summer from
the west coast of Vancouver island to
the Fraser river canneries,
These primitive people are pic
turesque and attract many eyes when
they pass through the city In Steves-
ton they live in little board and can
vas village Of their own, and eat sal
mon three times a day during the can
merry season, Many of the men are
fishermen and nearly all the women
work in the canneries.
The sockeye run Is now on in the
Fraser, and the canneries are running
their machinery every day, A good
many more white fishermen have TAX
en- out licenses this year
The sockeyes the humpbacks and
the cahoes and other members Of the
salmon family looking for spawning
beds are seeking out the sandbars Of
the Fraser, the Skeena, of Rivers in
let and many other brackish river
mouths and salty inlets.
Week after week school after school
of these swiftly swimming sea gypsies
come nosing in from somewhere far
out in the Pacific ocean, circling
around the ends of Vancouver island
and either meet their fate In the wide
stretching arms Of the waiting trap or
net or escape to reach the rivers in
land reaches, there to sacrifice their
lives in giving forth the eggs which
the sun heat hatches in the shallow
water which lies motionless over the
yellow river beaches or the gravel
shoals,
The-slmple drama, always terminat'
ing in tragedy for the fish one way or
the other, has been enacted for years
and years, and the Indians have been
eye witnesses of the exodus from the

COOPERATIVE SOCIETY AIMS

quote from his publication as follows:
"A Joint stock company Is a combina'
tlon OF capital and shares, Capital Is
invested In the business and all the
profits are supposed to accrue from
the use Of capital, consequently all
profits are returned as dividends to

per cent, or 30 per cent, or 200 per

Nov the principle Of cooperative
society IL fundamentally different A
cooperative society recognizes the
need Of capital, but II also recognizes
the fact that reputable concern may
obtain capital anywhere at the ruling
rate OF interest, So In strictly co
operative society II is agreed that
capital shall be paid merely the rul'
Ing ratio OF interest, say per cent,
and that all further profits shall be

Members Of the tuberculosis inves-

The plans were promised the commit

WAR FILM PUTS
$263.55 IN FUND
FOR C|TY'S POOR
2,2OO Citizens Aid Palla-
dium's Xmas Cheer Work
by Paying Admission to
See Pictures of Belgium.

There were over 1900 people living
in Richmond and vicinity who paid to
see the remarkable Chicago Tribune
pictures of Belgian war scenes, pro-
duced at the Murray theatre Wednes-
day and Thursday of this week under
the auspices of The Palladium and as
a result The Palladium now has a
Christmas Cheer Fund for Richmond
Poor Children amounting to 1868 So.
The gross receipts were s563.75, from
which was deducted S30020 for eX-
penses. Included in the expenses was
the Tribune's fee of $3.50, half of
which amount the Tribune places in
it's relief fund for homeless Belgians.
The Palladium greatly appreciates
the liberal support of the public in
making it's undertaking such a COM
plete success and the proceeds will be
devoted exclusively to bringing happi-
ness to large number of poor chill
dren who might otherwise be overlook
ed by the very busy Santa Claus.
Santa Needs Help.
Some time ago the Palladium secur-
ed the assistance of one OF the most
active social workers in the city to Sc
cure list of children who would have
no Christmas cheer unless the public
played Santa Claus to them. Arrange
ments We're then made TO produce the
war pictures in Richmond and an ap-
peal to the public for liberal patron
age of these pictures to support a
worth cause was made. How gen
erous was the response to this appeal
is eloQuently told by the attendance
figures.
The social worker who has been
assisting the Palladium in this under
taking has visited the homes Of poor
people in every section of the city and
has a list now of over 400 little boys
and girls who can be made happy by
gifts purchased from the Palladium s
fund. The little girl who never had a
doll is going to get one. One can
imagine how happy she is going u
be; and the little boy who wants some
stockings so badly cause my legs get
cold will get two or three pairs and a
toy, which he wants so bad but didn [
dare ask for because he needed the
stockings most.
Plan for Distribution.
Arrangements for the distribution of
gifts will be announced later.
The success of raising such large
Christmas Cheer fund through the
agency of the war pictures is due. to
a great part. to various local labor
unions. notably the Theatrical Me-
chanics and the Musicians union, not
only giving the project their enthus-
iastic endorsement but assisting in the
sale of tickets. providing do0rkeepers,
ushers. etc Carl Bradfield, picture
operator at the Lyric theatre. operated
the Tribune films and donated part OF
the money he received for mis- ser
vices to the Christmas Cheer fund. as
did Harry Cannon who operated the
stage lights.
