Can You Beat It?

Consider the Editor. He wear-
eth purple and fine linens. His
abode is among the mansions of
the rich. .
Lo! All the people breaketh
their necks to hand him money.
A child is born unto the wife of
a merchant in a bazaar. The
physician getteth twenty-five dol-
lar plunks, The Editor writeth
a, stick and a half and telleth the
multitude that the child tippeth
the beam at nine pounds. Yea,
he lieth even asa centurion. And
the happy father giveth him a
cigar.

Behold the young one groweth
up and graduateth. And the
Editor putteth in bis paper a swell
notice, Yea, apeach of a notice.

ing comeliness. Like unto the
roses of Sharon is she and her
gown is played up to beat the
band. And the dressmaker get-
teth two score and a half iron
men and the Editor petteth a
note of thanks from the §,.G.G.
The daughter goeth on a jour-
ney and the Editor throweth him-
self into the story of the farewell
party. It runneth a column solid.
And the fair one remembereth
him from afar with a picture
postcard that cost six fora jitney.
Behold she retutneth, and the
youth of the place fall down and
worship. She picketh one, and
lo, she picketh alemon. But the
Editor calleth him one of the
most promising young men and
getteth away with it. And thev
send unto him a bid to the wed-
ding feast, and behold, the bids
are printed by a Toronto mail
order house. Flowery and long
is the wedding notice the Editor
printeth. The minister getteth
ten bones. The groom standeth
the Editor off with a twelve
months’ subscription.

All flesh is grass and in time
the wife is gathered into the
silo, The minister getteth his
bit. The Editor printeth a death
notice, two columns of obituary,
three lodge notices, a cnbit of
poetry, and a ecard of thanks.
He forgetteth to read the proof
and the head of the plaguery
thing cometh out “‘Gone to Her
Last Roasting Place,”

And all that are akin to the
deceased jumpeth on the Editor

He telleth the; wisdom of the -
young woman and of her exceed-/,

libel on Northern British Colum-
bia. Itis fine that at some places
there was frost on two or three
nights, but it is doubtful that if
enongh spuds are produced in
those places to feed the produ-
cers, The main crop was never
touched and the districts where
the real potatoes are grown and
where the great bulk of the crop
is produced, have not yet had any
signs of frost. From the New
Hazelton section west along the
Skeena river to Terrace the spud

crop is the biggest and best ever

There is an opening in North-
ern British Columbia to supply
seed potatoes to Ashcroft, lower
B. C. and the United States.
The greatest difficulty those sec-
tions have is to get clean seed.
Northern British Columbia is gen-
erally free from disease and pests.
Many carloads of seed potatoes
can be disposed of.
