A load of sandy soil mixed with the clay will also serve the purpose. An- other plan is to plant red clover or alfalfa and let it grow to a height of about 0 foot when it should be spaded in. This will provide a considerable quantity of humus material, a very real necessity for the successful growing of flowers. Except for the various aquatic and bog plants water standing in the soil is fatal. If your gar- den is low lying or there are wet spots in it, a layer of rocks placed 0 couple of feet below the sur- face will provide drainage if the breaking up of the hard pan does not allow the water to drain oil'. is concerned there is not such 0 variety of soil as one finds most places. Some books give rather complicated directions concern- ing the work but, we do not be- lieve that such, directions are necessary. Our 'experience has indicated that t)te main essential -- l Is to dig the soil up thoroughly and to 0 depth that will allow the roots to penetrate deep enough so that 0 reasonable supply of 1 moisture may be available. In many parts of West Van- couver you will find that hard . 'anog only a few inches below the surface of thp ground.

Next Friday 5th December'HE WEST VAN NEWS MAS(iUERADE CARNIVAL I)RAWS LARGE CROWD The masquerade carnival last Friday evening at the Orange hall wss very largely attended. The orchestra soon hsd every- body dancing, and the floor was crowded, especisuy in the latter part of the evening, when a num- ber came in from other social events. Dancing was continued up to 2 a. mo instead of I o'lock, as had originally been arranged. There was an up-tthdate midway in the basement, consisting of various games of chance, which proved Iquite an attraction to the many guests. The grand march took place at 10 o'lock, the following being prize winrersi Best dressed gentleman--Mr. Hardy, of North Vancouver, Spanish gentleman. Best dressed lady -- Miss Groom,lady of Georgian period. Best original costume--Miss Gwen Clay, Snowflake. Best comic costume -- Met Chapman. The judges were Mrs. J. B. Leyland, Mrs. W. B.

Diving Championship this year, which were won at Dun- darave Regatta by Molly Ed- wards and Margaret Currie re- spectively. In the unavoidable absence of Miss Fxiwards, the medal was received by the Club Captain, Laurie Speck. WINTER ON THE RIDGE To the Editor. Leave your chrysanthemum scented garden, where grass and hedges are richly green; where flowers that should not appear till spring are exploring on sunny days, like naughty children ex- posed to danger. Take your pack and bug, and walk up the slopes of Hollyburn st dusk amidst the giant cedars. Sleep on fresh boughs in a warm log cabin and wake in a fairyland of snow and evergreens. A week end on the Ridge is the birthright of every young- ster in our midst; to own a pair of skiis and to learn how to use them, the healthful ambition of our boys and girls. See their cheeks redden and their eyes clear after a day on the Ridge. Wealthy people travel across oceans and spend thousands tc enjoy what we have within twc hours'iking from our back doors. IVhen fog and drizzk keep you indoors down here, a. hove the two thousand foot leve'ou have the clear bright sun. shine and exhilarating air of winter . A veritable paradise that could fill our ferries with passengers in idle hours, build as new buses, give health to our bodies and re- lief to our taxpaying pockets. IVe need not go abroad to gath- er capital for developing our Ridge. Let US take the cream of the profits. Build roads up to the first lake from Fifteenth or Eleventh Streets or anywhere you have. We have our munici- pal engineer. We have dozens of men out of work. All we need is to tell them to go ahead. There are thousands of people in Vancouver who do not own 0 car, working people who could spend a dollar, but little more on transportation for an outing. Would they come if we o(fered them the winter sports that make the Swiss Alps 0 universal playground 7 Let's build a road to the Ridge and through it give ourselves bigger and better fei ries, more buses and practically no taxes by the time our children are old enough to laud our enter. prise.
