There is no reason in the worl'd not be sort of •yrhy such an effort should crowned with the highest success. ■Who should take part? First of all, every church ... iUiii choir in Adie district, should give leadership. Every congregation has its full quota of fair singers who should be working up to the class of firstrate performer's. Wlhyj should not the choirs that already are doing fine work organize more fully or tighten up and vitalize the organization al ready existing, secure new members and get down to practice under the best leadership available? Only in difference can possibly stand in the way. Public and Sunday school classes may be organized and set to work. Performers on the violin and piano who already do well should set apart the time for getting ready to do excellently. Each or ganization may be allowed to choose one selection for itself. A commit tee of competent persons should se lect another number for all the or ganizations to tackle. When March comes there should be a central place selected at which the various competitors may be tried out for chorus work or for solo work as the case may be, judges to decide which lias done the better work and for grading and of workable adoption or suggestion. Ministers, choirs, agricultural representatives and business men are some of those who should get into this work. It looks as if the main thing needed were leadership. Why should not a matter so full of promise be given a serious trial? An opportunity and a privilege and an advantage to say nothing of a great deal of pleasure awaits our constituency in this im- portant affair. suggestions. All sorts plans are available for for adaptation, or for • . school boads, church THINKING PEACE Thinking peace is a far different thing from talking peace. Talking peace is the way to controversy. Fre quently that wordy way marks the path to misunderstanding and to ■war. Thinking peace is the way to fair dealing, to justice, to good will. At the end of such a road no battles are fought and no nation practices war. To think peace nations, like men, must pursue peaceful ends. When a mule is pulling he isn’t kicking. "When a man or a nation is working there is no quarrel. In the meantime, the millenium has not come. There still exist be nighted nations who see no method of settling their disputes short of the appeal to the sword, ignoring the fact that they- who appeal to the sword shall perish by the sword. There still are selfish business men and wicked political leaders in the state who long for “a jolly war.’’ Britain sees no reason why she should be jockeyed into the position where her insularity should put her within three weeks of starvation. Yet this is the very thing' that some of her critics are asking of her. The United States sees no reason why she self her lier. What then? Simply that Britain and the Unit ed (States must see to it that no en couragement is given to war thought As Britain’s prime minister has said, “We are not thinking of war with the United States.” So should Coolidge and Hoover say. So should both of these mighty nations act. The shame of the present situation is that every cruiser built by Bri tain is regarded by the United States jingo as built to sink United States commerce. Every United States warship is regarded as designed' to cripple British trade. Why should it not be believed jthat these boats are built to protect should be asked to expose lier- to the navies that could cripple freedom. Yet this is asked of should not all who believe this, Why leave the affairs to those highminded? and Miss Mabel Estelle Jones, a school teacher near Duncan, B.C., accord ing to news dispatches, was found dead, A jury appointed to inquire into the cause of her decease brought in a verdict to the follow ing effect: The teacher came to her death while she was temporarily in sane, the insanity being brought about by the “unjustifiable, unfeel ing and underhand criticism on the part of members of the school board.’’ The jury recommended that “the school act should be amended in such a manner as to place the af fairs of the school board in small isolated school districts in the hands of competent trustees, not necessar ily elected, thus freeing the teacher from gossip of irresponsible and petty criticisms.” First B.C. is to be congratulated on haviiiig citizens of the calibre who made up that jury. Decent people all over will be proud that the pro vince by the Pacific breeds such men who uphold' the best traditions of British freedom and jurispendence. But what is to be said of a board of whom their fellow citizens under oath are obliged to say such things? The thugi is bad enough who robs a full grown man of his money, but w.hat scorn is equal to the descrip tion of men who rob a young woman of her good name, as this jury swears these men did in this glaring and awful instance? Second, what of the citizens who elected such men to guard the educational wells whence their children drink? But are the voters of the vincinity referred to sinners above all the ci tizens in the Dominion of Canada? Is not the school meetings every where made a by word and a hissing by reason of its beggarly attend ance? . Do not.».our educational af fairs, everywhere, limp as painfully as they do because our citizenry for the most part follow the- practice of the artful dodger on school meeting day, leaving the boss and the man with an axe to grind free to be elect ed to the position of school trustee? School meeting day is coming and our hope is that the citizens of our constituency will be on the job and in their place on that day and that day and in that hour.

If the smaller communities are to continue their place in the sun they will do so by stressing the keeping of money at home.

Children Like ANGIER9 S It looks like cream and is prac tically tasteless, mixing readily with milk or water, soothing and healing in its action, ANGIER’S EMULSION is an effective remedy for children’s ailments—particularly colds, coughs, bronchitis and whoop ing cough. It is also a safeguard against the chest complications associated with measles, scarlet fever and grippe. ANGIER’S loosens the phlegm, relieves the sore ness of throat ana chest, and its cleans ing action removes body impurities, thus hastening the patient’s recovery.

ANGIER’S is pleasant tp take; builds up strength and vitality; and can be given to even the youngest child with absolute confidence. A British Doctor writes: “1 have been pre scribing Angier's for the past 15 years with the Greatest success, especially for ill-nour- lahea children."
