Om Monday and Tuesday next the thirteenth annual fair of the Matsqui
Agricultural and Horticultural Sogiety wil) be héld at Gifford. And the dir-
ectors are naturally expecting is to be ‘‘bigger and better than ever,’’ as
undoubtedly it will be. ‘ahh

Interest seems to have laktt©&ned in Abbotsford this year over agricult-
ural matters, for no fair is arrang®d for. Many in the Sumas district feel
the district is better off with just qne fair, and 1 that. i good o ng, Apd-inte
to support the event at Gifford, In y event, tho, situation is one worth~
taking advantage of by the Ma .

Squi directors.

& fairs being eyen more creditable to the large section they aim

qui organization,

In any case this is ‘‘our’’ fair, so let’s all do our part.

It seems unfortunate that the Reyal Bank is not a property owner in
Abbotsford, but continues as a tenant business in this section. Most of the
bank branches in our neighboring Valley towns own their buildings, and in
practically every place they. are an architectural credit to the place in which
they do business.

Among the various factors checking the progress of this district—and
Abbotsford in particular—is the condition of the local bank. During the past
year the town has been visited by many parties with a view of establishing
in business here—including scyeral lines of commerce for which there is a
need, one man paying a deposit on a piece of property on which he intended
to erect a store building. Jn the course of their prospecting these parties
eventually consulted the bank, and, irrespective of the advice they were given
eould not but dbserve the volume of business being transacted there, and the
undersized quarters the staff functioned in. Upon learning that the bank
(an institution naturally turned to for business counsel) had not sufficjent
confidence in the district’s permanency to own suitable business quarters,
prospective citizens naturally hesitated to buy property or establish here, and

_ left for other places.

In justice to the Royal Bank it must be said an effort“was made on their
par! Yr"eetlire the Bank of Montreal property. ‘Yo our mind the price they
were willing to pay was fair, and failure to effect a transaction will be a
loss to every body concerned.

For the price mentioned in the Bank of Montreal property negotiations,
a presentable and suitable building could be erected. Saving of rent, better

facilities for the staff and improved service to the public would balance this

initial expense very, quickly.

As a tenant, this fundamental commercial utility stands in our midst

reflecting upon the permanency of our town and district. é

The pie was baked fresh every
day except Sunday—on Saturdays she always baked two. It’s a record to be
proud of in this land of pie, where home-cooking is not always what it has
been in the past. Not that baking a pie every day is a test of a perfect
wife, or that it is impossible to obtain good pie from a bakery. ~ But every
man in Abbotsford will agrée that there is something about a fine fat pie,
fresh from the oven in one’s own kitchen, that is not to be matched by any
other experience. And there is moral in the very fact that the woman in
this case has done her daily pie duty faithfuily. It shows that her husband
appreciates it and has always been on hand to eat, his share of it. If there
is any prescription for keeping a husband satisfied for 20 years, this woman

Abbotsford Band
Goes To Jail

The troubles of the Abbotsford band
in locating a practise room have been
solved. During the past few months
band practices haye been held in the
following: a fraternal — hall, garage,
hotel, sample room, theatre, cellar and
a tailor shop.

The garage was satisfactory, until
the bass player objected to the smell
of gasoline interfering with his artis-
tic rendering on his part.

However, everything is now satis-
factory, and residents are not to be
surprised that the wondering thespians
will call upon them for the use of their
kitchen as arrangements have been
made to rent the old jail for practise
purposes. Whether the doubtful atmo-
sphere of a jail will appeal to the soul
of the bass player more than the gaso-
line remains to be seen,

ian and soldier blind of Canada at the
