This idea coincides with the ex-
poundings of The Advance of recent
date. Money consistently spent in the
larger centres only enriches those cen-
tres and makes them larger and more
prosperous at the expense of the small-
er towns and villages. As a community
advances and thrives ahead so the val-
ue of property in that community will
increase, hence the circulation of mon-
ey in one’s home community increases
the value of his home suroundings. The
Saskatchewan government evidently
considers it false economy to central-
ize the spending of money in the large
centres,

It is hard to understand why people
will sacrifice their own surroundings to
enrich distant fields, and it is still hard-
er to understand business men who are
entirely dependent on local conditions
who commit the same act of laxity un-
der some pretentious excuse,

DEMONSTRATE ELECTRICAL
STUMP BURNER AT SUMAS

A demonstration of the blower type
of stump burner is being held this week
at Sumas Wash., where it will be used
to clear the stumps from a ten-acre
| Piece of land.

The principle of the new burner,
which is a St. Louis product, is to
create a draft beneath the stump that
will force it to burn itself completely
from the ground. The cost of the kilo-
watt hour after the first seveny-five
hours amounts to one cent per hour,
and each machine is capable of burn-
inga dry, solid stump in less than seven
hours, If the stump js particularly wet,
it will take the burner approximately
one whole day to complete the work,
costing about seven cents per stump.

Two motorists met with accidents on
Sumas lake road Tuesday, both cars
overturning. One was Harold Jinkin-
son, Chilliwack, and the other J. Mc-
Isiac, Chilliwack.

A special meeting of the Caledonian
Society is to be held in the Masonic hall
on Saturday, September 26, for the pur-
pose of re-organizing.

The Dilatory Habit

A very bad habit seems to have be-
come prevalent in Langley public at-
fairs in the matter of disregard of time
for the commencement of social and
public functions. It has become a
recognized thing that half an hour be-
hind the time advertised is about right,
There is no excuse for an habit of this
kind, which is not only inconvenient;
but is a nuisance to say the least. It
is not uncommon vo see patrons of
social events calling at the advertised
place at the time stated, only to find
that half an hour later would be plenty
early enough,

If this habit is indulged in long en-
ough it will cause a certain propor-
tion of disinterest in these functions
because it Is usually the busiest people
who are on time. They value time in
their business and social life, they work
according to time and it is not reas-
\onably fair to ask them to wait around
eae gz time for the accommodation of

the tardy ones, If an event is adver-
tised to commence at a certain time,
the only fair and correct thing to do
is to commence when time is up and
soon the late arrivals will learn that
|time is time, id if they are not on
hee they them: es are the victims of |

their own carelessness. As long as pub-
lic events do not carry a definite time)
and are liable to commence at any- |

|

| time, there will always be late comers
who hold up the works. Give the “Time
is up" idea a trial during the coming
| winter and the unorderly habit now
| prevalent will disappear.
