Fairs and Education. Next month two events of im- portance to this. Northern Inter- ior will take place, being the an- . nual fair at Prinee Rupert and the annual barbeeue at Telkwa. The part these play in advertising this section of the province ean- not be overestimated, for besides being the means of displaying the natural prodtcts of this country, they do invaluable work in enlightening people ouside. of this immediate territory as to the merits of the North. Also they show a spirit of progressive citi- zenship, and encourage t h e@ com.uunity plan, This district is but barely “seratched over’ as yet and can stand all the ‘publicity than ean be accorded it. - Annual fairs and exhibitions afford the best means for filling the need for advertis- ing the Northern Interior. We are perfectly aware that our mineral deposits are among the richest in the provinee, that our Jumber igs unexcelled in qual- ity and quantity, that our fisher- ies are practically inexhaustible, ‘that our agricultural products are ‘second to none in the Dominion; but there are people, you know, who still think of the Northern Interior in. terms of unbroken wildernesses and desolate. éx- panses. They must: be taught _better. The idea of the annual fair aids materially in this need of education.

This honor has been given |. : “to the. Canadians t as a tribute: to their fighting abilities, as well as because of their relative nearness to the scene of operations, The Canadian soldier is feared by the Hun, and will now demonstrate to the German that the boys who licked him in France can stage a further similar performance in Siberia. Neighborhood welfare is de- pendent upon the manner in which the people in the commun- ity—the neighbors—regard the neighbors as well as themseives. Unless the majority are willing to render service for the com- munity, to bear expense for the general welfare, there will be no rural improvements and all will be retarded because of the sel: fisness of the few. - The only way to get such fae- tors for progress as good schools, improved roads, churches, tele- phones, etc., is for the people of the community to decide that they want thesé social and economic able where each pays hig part. The price of such improvements munity ean well afford to make,. whether in war or in peace.—X, The Chinese government re- fuses to receive a papal‘ nuncio who bas German friends.
