MINING NOTES

Milling operations are to be COM

Mountain, near Sheep creek, just as
soon as mill can be installed, says
a Nelson (B. c. report. The plant
has been purchased by John VALID
beser, manager of the Emerald, from
a company having a mine at Chesaw,

as it can be loaded on cars.
The Conjecture mine, at Lakeview,

reported to be 100000 from the es-
tate of the late Colonel William Rid

wheat are limited. Shipments abroad
from this country have beencmfwyp

India have liberal quantities for ex-

Flour-The volume of flour trade Is
still far short of what it usually is
at this time of the year. Both sellers
and buyers are waiting to hear from
Washington, d. c., and there is wide
difference of opinion as to what will
be the outcome; some believe that Mr..
Hoover will eventually put a max

on hand and are simply drifting along

port the flour market veering around

more favorable for them.
Feed-There is little change in the
millfeed situation compared with a
week ago, except that bids are draw.

Simple instructions,

Reginald bought an evening tie, and.
wishing to be immaculate, asked the
shop assistant to tell him the correct
way to tie bow.
"Well, sir" said the obliging assist
ant, "you hold the tie in your left hand
and your collar In the other. Slip your
neck in the collar and cross the left
hand end Of the tie over the right with
the left hand, steadying the right end
with the other hand. Then drop both
ends, catching the left with the right
and the other with the other. Reverse
hands and pick up the loose end with
the nearest hand. Pull this end through
the loop with your unengaged hand
and squeeze. You will find the bow
tied, and all you have to do Is to dis
entangle your hands."-Rehoboth Sum

Commercial clubs are being turned
into Community clubs in number
of towns throughout the country. The
step is indicative of growing appre-
citation of the mutual interests exist
ing between the city and its tributary
territory, that the farmer and the
merchant will both be benefited by
mutual helpfulness. The amalgama-
'tion gives evidence Of a more health
full spirit. The results will depend
entirely upon the interest developed
by these organizations and the efforts

JUST MAKE A FRESH START
II Is Only Way t. Remedy Mistakes
One Has Made as Past Cannot
Be Lived Over Again.

Now and then man pauses to take
account of stock, and looks back rue
fully over the course of his life to note
the 7Sny places where he made the
wrong turn or was showed Off the track
by adverse circumstances. He says to
himself, believing what he says, that If
he could retrace his steps and take
fresh start, knowing what he knows
now, he would not make such mess
of things again. He can put his finger
down on the very spot in the map of
his life where he went wrong. There
was blurred place on the trail, where
there was no trace of the footprint Of
any who passed that way and no mark
of the Woodlands AK upon a tree. 1t
was for him alone to choose the way
to take, and in his haste and fever to
arrive he chose wrong and has wan
dcred ever since.
A man plays game, or runs race.
n conducts business, or marries q
wife, or chooses u friend, or elects a
calling, or forms a maitland by and
by the conviction is borne In upon him,
like growth weighing on the brain,
that he was in error. Now II Is too late
to retrieve, says the Philadelphia Led
ger. He must wear for the remainder
of his days the milestone due to the
wrong decision. What Is he to do? He
strangled his chance newborn. He ex-
changed his birthright for pOttage. II
Is of no avail to plead that he had bad
advisers, that he was misled, that he
was the tool Of environment that a
base heredity rose up to claim him ana
a latent faint In the blood broke out
and wrought an irreparable mischief.
| The past is there, and It's legend Is
| deeply craven on his brow or scared
| by the brand of the iron that has en-
tered into his soul Can he go back
The years and the closed doors and the
finished chapters tell him no.
| But the forward look and the futur-
ity provide him with better way to
take. When Mrs. Peterkin, in the story,
had spoiled her cup Of coffee by put
ting salt In 1t and was trying to re-
deem the error by the neutralizing &C.
ton Of all sorts of chemicals, the lady
from Philadelphia suggested that she
make a fresh cup. Seeing that you
can't go back, why not make fresh
start exactly where you are? Decision
has miraculous way Of finding a

GERMANS SHOW NO
PEACE DISPOSITION NOW
Pope's Proposal is Not FavorabIy Re
ceived in kaiser's land-Roils
the Reichstag.

Copenhagen.-The pope's peace pro-
posal now is being dragged into the
field of party politics in Germany and
made the subject of contention be-
tween the pan-German annexationists
and advocates of a moderate peace.
George Bernhard in the Berlin Vos-
sische Zeitung says the pope's action
has cleared up one of the mysteries
connected with Matthias Erzberger's
recent peace campaign in the reichs-
tag and the adoption by the reichstag
of his resolution was to pave the way
for the pope's note.
Vienna dispatches, says the govern
ment newspapers, declare emphatical
ly that it is impossible to cede a foot
of soil to Italy, but otherwise little
vehement objection to the pope's note
is heard from Austria.
