SEASONS FUR CATCH is
ESTIMATED AT $1,000, 900

VANCOUVER, B. c.. March s.
Two million dollars is the estimated
value of the fur catch of British Co
lumbia for the season Just closed. &C
cordrng to figures compiled by Bryan
Williams. provincial game warden.
This has been record year for the
trappers.
Nine hundred and forty-seven of
the 1,l6l licensed trappers have re-
ported a total catch OF 100000. which
is exclusive of 100000 worth OF coy
ote skins, which are classed as YER
min and do not figure in the trappers'
returns. The 100000 thus accounted
for is only a small percentage Of the
fur production. There are about six
unlicensed Indian trappers to every
white man in the business. The pro-
fessional trappers who have licenses
make about $4,000 each during the
six months of the season.

AGRICULTURAL SUICIDE"
NOT IN EVIDENCE HERE

WASHINGTON, March 5.--One OF
the worst forms OF agricultural sui
eide" to which war-swept Europe has
taken has been avoided so far in the
United States. Germany has found it
necessary to legislate most rigidly
against killing breeding cattle and
horses.
Despit high prices offered for ami
mails for immediate killing. and the
similarly high cost of feeds with
which to maintain them. American
farmers have taken the long-headet
view" said Herbert Hoover before the
house agricultural committee We
have actually a good increase in ami
mails over last year despite an enor
nous consumption and export"

RAILROAD PASSES

Although II had been supposed by
many people that most railroad pass
es had been abolished, yet 100000 OF
them have been annuIed by Secretary
McAdoo's recent order. This is far
less than the number used at the
time when a count on one train is
said TO have disclosed but two people
who were paying fares.
Passes recently held have come
mostly under these heads, mostly used
within state lines and so not subject
to the Interstate Commerce law:
Attorneys representing the rail-
roads before public bodies.
Persons having political Influence
whose support is desired.
Some newspapers, in exchange for
advertising and otherwise.
Employees OF the roads.
1t would be much better policy for
railroad attorneys to pay their own
fare and charge il up TO the com
pany when on company business.
Otherwise there would be n tempta
ton to use the pass on private er
rands. Distribution OF passes to gain
political favor will make more enc
mics than friends.
Exchange with newspapers OF pass
es for advertising was legitimate, al
though many merCenary editors were
subtly influenced in this way to favor
the roads. But when the commerce
law was passed and the passes were
generally withdrawn, the roads los
valuable publicity, and the public waE
, Inconvenience by lack Of informa
ton about timetables.
At tho rates of wages now received
by many classes of railroad employ
oes, there would seem no reason VIII!
they should be made a favored clas
by free transportation on privdt,
business or crrands OF pleasure. Thu
whole pass system is wrong and /
will have to so.

=" --that Day Is
Gernany's Doom"

There is one simple easy way by which every family
in the United States stand up and be cOunted-by
which every man. woman and child enlist in the hun
dred million, all-American army which the Germans
dread
One of the most significant utterances made during
the entire made by prominent German Official
when America cast her lot with the allies:
eve do not fear the American soldiers because they
cannot arrive in time; what fear is the intelligence and
devotion of one hundred million Americans trained to
faith in individual initiative The day that those hundred
millions act one that day is Germany's doom!'
Today Germany is fighting with a and
desperate energy because she fears that the American sol
diers will arriver in time.
But Germany still refuses to believe that our hundred
million people will "act as one"
How can we prove it to her? How can we strike to
the heart of the Hun? How convince the kaiser
that the day Of his doom approaches?
That way is to lend our money to country.
By War Saving Stamp; costing you until February
l, 1918 $4.12, worth So on January 1, 1923.
If you cannot pay for it in immediate cash buy a U.
S. Thrift Stamp for % cents and keep buying them
until you have 16 Then add few cents in cash and ex
change them for the War Saving Stamp.
Begin to do this now. Save every cent you can and
put it into these stamps
The money will be used Immediately to provide guns,
ammunition food clothing and other supplies for our SOL
ders and sailors.
This will be bad news for the kaise-the worst he has
ever heardfor it will prove to him that ready to
"ac one" 1t will prove that not only our men, but
every dollar have is behind country 1t will prove
that in the to win and that we shall stay in
it until do win. 1t will prove that are thoroughly
unanimously determined that country homes and
loved shall longer lie under the dark menace
Of German domination and ensavement

PLENTY OF LASTING SNOW
WILL SAVE WHEAT CROP

WASHINGTON, March 5.-Pray for
deep snow and plenty of it until well
along into the spring. 1t is snow,
says the department of agriculture,
which will save or lose this years
winter wheat crop.
Until late in December the wheat
crop looked very bad-the worst in
years. Deep snow, which the late
James ]. Hin always referred to as
the northwesUs best protector and
tcrtiizer-has vastly improved the
situation. If enough stays on and
the ground IS not uncovered before
the heavy frost period is over, the

THE DEMAND FOR INDUSTRIAL
EDUCATION TODAY
Edward Bailey

We have entered upon an era OF
universal education. which means
the education Of all sorts 81
people for all sorts Of purposes.
From now on. therefore education
must serve not only the exceptional
five per cent. hut the ninety-iiNc
per cent Of common men as wei.
! II must not only III for the so-called
learned professions but It must
also train for common things, else
IT is not universal-a new fact that
involves. | amagine, a radical re-
vision of our philosophy Of educa-
ton. with broadening Of ideals as
to the purposes. the materials. and
the methods " instruction.
With the rise Of industrial edu-
cation new meaning has been given
to industry and new dignity 10 that
kind Of labor which is necessary
part Of a logical plan. looking to the
accomplishments Of definite ends. all
of which adds 10 the importance Of
this form Of education and still
further cnlarges the demand. until
our whole scheme ~ education l.
on the point Of revision.
The most important fact today l.
that men Of all classes have come
Ia look upon education as thing
that will better their condition,
and they mean by that, first Of all,
something that will make their
labor more profitable and more ef-
fective: and second, they mean
something that will enable them to
live fuller lives. They have no
very clear idea Of the methods Of
bringing this all about. nor have
they any means Of impressing their
views upon us at educational con-
Ventions: but 30 better their con-
dition through education is the abid-
ing faith and purpose Of all men
everywhere, and they will persist
until it is realized.
The training OF the young for the
duties OF life is no longer left to the
charity Of the church. nor TO private
cndOwments. as in the case Of Berea
and other institutions depending
upon public benevolence. We do
not ask a man 20 pay the expense
