THIS IS A GOOD TOWN

To tell a man of his good points sel-
dom, if ever, tends toward his better-
ment. It may sort of perk him up a
bit, but usually it makes him vain, and
piwara lowers his resistance in the
ttle of doing things, by throwing him
}off guard. Fiattery is an ensnaring
quality and leaves a very dangerous
impression. It swells a man’s imag-
ination, and his head as well; it enter-
ins his vanity, and drives him to ©
doting upon his own person.
Some communities get so full of ego
‘and become so puffed up from “soft
Soap” and blarney, handed out by in-
dividuals who usually have an axe {0
grind, that the residents think theirs
is the essence of perfection. “Stuck
up” communities are as bad as c

asa bat to thelrown. When a comm-
unity gets to the point that all it is in-
terested in is conversation about its own
Wwonderfulness, that community is due
for a fall.

It is a serious mistake to court: only
the society of those who please.
doesn't always pay to choose friends
altogether from those who flatter. The

people are small-minded, they wince at
e pain, get sore, sulk and pout, over-
king the fact that the real test of
qualities for permanent success !s abil-
ity to gain by criticism. The man who
seeks to better himself accepts con~
alibis and doésn’t try to “crawtish’.

Abbotsford is a good town—no ques~
tion about that. It has many fine
features, many attractions, 9 multitude
of good hardworking poosters, in fact,
it’s an even chance that this commun-
ity has advantages that, because ‘you

Farmers Protest Against Freight
And Express Rates

‘The farmers of the Fraser Valley and
their friends recently invaded New
Westminster and Vancouver. They
filled St, Patrick's hall at a mass meet-
ing called as a “protest against un-
reasonable and unjust freight and ex-
press charges".

After the meeting a parade was held
in New Westminster, and then they
left for Vancouver where another meet-
ing was held, at which President J. 5.
Armshaw of the B, ©, section of the
United Farmers of Canada, warned all
politicial parties what they might ex-
pect in these words “We are prepared lo
support any government that will
make an honost attempt to solve our
problems. If the time arrives when
no party suits us, we will then consider
