THE SECRETARY, MRS. E. A. FOIID, 1VILL BE AT THE HALL TONIGHT TO RECEIVE ENTRIFS, or exhibits msy be left early tomorrow morning, but all exhibits must be in place before 10 o'lock tomorrow morning. This is 1Vest Vancouver's own fall show, and it is hoped that everybody who can possibly do so will either send in ex- hibits or at least attend some time during the afternoon or evening. The West Vancouver Agricultural and Horticultural Society has been doing a very valuable work for a number of years now by inculcating among our residents s love of gardening both for floweis and vegetables. 1Vhile due to the shortage of water all our gardens have suffered, yet there sre still many left, the flower beds of which are well filled, and many well stocked vegetable gardens can be found in all sections of the municipality. Our district has won a reputation for having the finest gardens in Greater Vancouver. We have been singularly blessed, of course, with excellent soil and as a result of the shelter given us by Hollyburn Ridge from cold winds, can start our gardens earlier and keep them blooming later than other districts around us. At the same time we should never have gaired the reputation we have snd won the prizes we have won in Vancouver had it not been for the Horticultural Society. The directors have worked day in and day out to make the Society the real driving force it has become in matters of floriculture and agriculture. They have brought lecturers here to speak to us on our garden problems, and at considerable trouble to themselves they every year organize and put on two shows. It has been and is a labor of love on their part, snd ss curb it is vp tn Wo~t Vnnr»i"nr tn sbnw thoir appratdntduu of the good work they have done by coming to the show to morrow. COME IN CROWDS. BUY AT HOME There is today being waged a "Buy in Canada" campaign. One would think such a stirring up of the national conscious- ness in business matters should hardly be necessary, but our trade returns tell quite a diiferent story. The Anglo-Saxon-Celtic peoples are loyal to the core in war, but in peace they are sometimes inclined to let their indiv- idual aims and aspirations take precedence over national con- siderations. provided there appears to be s profit in it. \Ve have, too, "buy-at-home" campaigns conducted at vari- ous times in various places in Canada to stimulate local buying. Such a campaign was held this year in North Vancouver, and no doubt it helped to bring home to those residents who were dealing elsewhere the cardinal fact that a man who buys outside his own district goods which can be purchased locally is not only discriminating against that district but against himself. Of that there is no doubt whatever. West Vancouver has always been celebrated for its strong community spirit, but it is always well nevertheless to em- phasize at times the desirability of buying locally. One can purchase almost everything one requires for one's daily needs in West Vancouver. We have met some who stated they could make their money go farther in the city, but in saying so they only revealed the fact that they had not first priced the articles they wished to buy at our local snerchsnts. For prices in West Vancouver are just as reasonable as in Van- couver, and one has only to go round over local stores to find out the truth of this statement. Moreover, the matter of per- sonality enters into any dealings we may have here to sn extent which is impossible in Vancouver. A district rises and falls on the excellence of its stores, snd the more we purchase locally, the better and bigger our stores will be, and the more our district will grow. Let us therefore, not only "Buy in Canada" but also "Buy at Home," if for no other reason than it will pay us to do so.

J SCHOOL BOARD NOTES At the last meeting of the Board of School Trustees it was decided to carry on with the three-year course leading to Junior Matriculation snd Norm- al entrance rather than adopt the new four-year course, and Prin- cipal Mr. Patterson has been notified accordingly. It is under- stood that Burnaby, Richmonil and several other districts are taking the same step. This will mean the saving of a year's time in the pupils'chool life, and should mean a very large saving to the ratepsyers of the muni- cipality. Dr. McCubbin wss appointed to make a dental examination of the school children in Pauline Johnson, Hollyburn and Dundar- ave schools with a view to sscer- taining what work would be nec- essary if a denial clinic were es- tablished in 1Vest Vancouver schools. If put into etfect, the cost would be defrayed partly by a grant from the department and partly by the parents of children receiving treatment; the remain- der, which is not expected to be a large amount, will be assumed by the School Board.

O Iz I r'( GED 51 1N AT HOLLYBURV PEAK A one-legged man from Van- couver ascended Hollyburn Ridge on Labor Day by the aid of crutches,and after a short rest, proceeded to the Ski Camp and to the top of Hollyburn Peak, returning to the city in the even- ing. While this ascent is not ex- actly mountaineering, it is cer- tainly a wonderful fest of strength and endurance for a man so crippled and deserves a place among the list of remark- able activities mentioned in the daily press.
