That's the inevitable reaction of townspeople when the curtain falls on the last day of the annual Stam- pede. All the months of preparation never succeed in tying in the loose ends, and those in charge of the show find the actual three days are spent in dashing around in about six different directions trying to find ubstitutes when things bog down. Most of us find our- selves working for two or three organizations on the grounds besides attempting to do some of our own work, and then playing too hard in our off hours. By the end of the show we have physically just about “had the course,’ and nice though it is to welcome all our visitors, we’re happy to see them on their way home again so that we can return to normal living for a little while. Now — about the dates for the next show? Care to discuss the question?

Message To Consumers In last week’s issue appeared an advertisement ly msored by the provincial department of agriculture. appeal from Premier @V. A. Bennett, primary producers of British Columbia. In summary, the premier urges purchase of British Columbia foodstuffs to the end that we may “keep our out that British Columbia farms, ranches and orchards produce- fine foods, and that a policy of patronizing B.C: food products is an excellent way to help maintain prosperity within our province. 4 = It is to be hoped metropolitan consumers Will take note of this message. The rancher’s stake in the beef industry’s income, for example, is no greater than that of the feed salesman and the packer plant worker. The more British Columbia agriculture is strengthened, the more work there will be for workers in the transport land Mr. Priestly has some of his impressions ada, and Canadians, in a seri with lively, S. ; A =, 5 ugly places food dollars working in British Columbia.” He points small town with some rather good posters marked mostly by probably its clean reviving air.

Second sound reason for purchasing British Col- umbia foodstuffs is that farmers are the country’s best spenders. If we send our food dollars, or a good part of them, to some other country or some other part of Canada we are cutting into the potential sales volume of British Columbia business. If we spend our food dollars at home we can be sure our farmers will put them right back to work here. Premier Bennett is right. Buying home grown foods strengthens British Columbia’s economy by as- suring employment and steady payrolls in the indus- -tries that serve agriculture. ndat Man on my heavy-duty engines TRADEMARK REGISTERED — You can reduce ‘tdown time,’”? save on overhaul expense and operating costs by lubricating your diesel and heavy-duty gasoline engines with RPM DELO Heavy Duty Lubricating Oil.
