There is still plenty of opportunity for damage from one cause or another, but general conditions are so well ad. vanced that barring extreme hot weather to result In tip burn, or an early frost to damage the grain, there should be no doubt of the ' result. Moisture conditions have been well maintained throughout the season. With w abundance of mokture,,lafct,JfaU, ,a very favorable sowing xsaason: and this followed byylwtofy-Talns during June, the crop season so far has been Ideal. Not within ths last fifteen years has the grain come along ao uniformly, every wheat field showing a uniform height, with th heads coming all at once, thus as-surlng a good grade through even ripening. The stand Is uniformly good, and while there will probably be no abnormally large ylcldi, there will also bo an absence of very poor fields, so that a generally good crop may be expected. There will be yields of between Tuesday, August 5, 1930 ANNIVERSARY OF GREAT WAR Sixteen yearsaga yesterday war was formally declared against Gennaiijrljy'Great Britaih which involved the vnole Empire and ended four years later in the surrender pf Germany. Only recently German territory was finally evacuated by allied troops. It was a terrible war and nobody wishes to see a repetition of it. A war today would be even more dreadful than it was. More people would be killed and much more quickly as a result of recent inventions. Happily for the world there is a strong tendency toward peace. War is no longer looked upon as a means of bringing glory to armies and individuals. It is something to be dreaded and if possible avoided. As soon as the world becomes thoroughly imbued with peace principles and with the idea of the uselessness of fighting, there will 'be peace-Possibly there waaLiiexer be another., world war. The; trend is in that direction, but it has not yet gone far enough to makes nijtjjna certainty. While we remember witn pride that Canada did her part nobly when called upon, we should at the same time do well to use what influence we have to avoid a repetition of what happened at that time. This is a time to think peace rather than war. To glorify war is to invite, it. BOYS' BAND OFF The wharf at the Canadian National dock was crowded when thksteamer Prince Rupert drvv out yesterday afternoon for Vancouver with the,,Ijpys' Band on board, The band had paraded frornWevA?mories and in their new uniforms made a fine impression on local people and on the many visitors in town. Marching with military precision and with stirring music one felt that here indeed Prince Rupert had something to be proud of. And be it remembered that Canada's greatest resources are not in her vast areas of agricultural land, her unmeasured wealth of minerals, her extensive timber expanses and her boundless fisheries, but in human material such as the Boys' Band are an earnest of. These A thoughts 1 A arose A as the boys " went ... aboard, . J on . their venture, nopeiui oi pleasure and not a little realizing that nicy wure representatives oi me nortn and of rnnce Ku i-1 pert.

The extreme wet weather of June resulted In some damage in the Falher and Donnelly district. wnere uie grain has not fully recovered from the drowning out it received. Other than this district, however, thee Is little or no Am. lag from any eause throughout the length of the north country. I Damage from eut worms or wire I worm has been practically noth- ; ing, and to date there has been no i hail damage. I One feature of the crop season Is the general lateness of o " v..v 4ui. w iiiic uiif nai probably affected the grade favorably, it leaves the danger of late ripening and probable frost danger. Should this be avoided, Peace River will this year harvest an even larger crop than In 1927. our banner year. This Is made noi. ble from the very lanre increax In acreage, which exceeds that of The city council last night a bill amounting to $1,858.10 to the Power Company for rent of poles used by the telephone department. The question of assess ing the company and taxing them for thtlr poles was mentioned and referred to the asseesor for ac tlon. It was mentioned by Alder man Dlack that the company had about 22 or 23 miles of poles in the city. W.H. PIERCE APPOINTED REGISTRAR "A same time' the, ;cf envelopment of the flock under his care.

The missionary said he often told jment of Prince Rupert and at the the natives at Esslngton how they had, to rise to their opportunities.

Mr. Pierce Is still hale and hearty j and ready for the work that lies at his hand. At the meeting of the city coun-; ell last evening a bylaw making some slight, changes in the 1923 sewer bylaw was passed. It provided for the rate of interest to be five per cent instead of three and a-half and made a few slight changes In the route. PLEASANT ODC Tuesday, August S, i i: a in: ii s ii i p The Jtord is Outselling l&very Other Car in Canada by a La rye and Constantly Increasing Margin J.IIE Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited, was organized twenty-six years ago. The business was ' started in a small frame building and the entire first year's production totaled only 117 cars. Today; the fine modern,. plant covers many acres of ground and the average payroll is in excess of $11,000,000 a year. The first force of 17 men has grown to a peak of 7500, and the Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited, is one of the leading industrial organizations of the Dominion. Canadians may well be proud of the Ford, for it is practically all made in Canada, of Canadian materials, and by Canadian workmen. That the public appreciates the unusual value built into the Ford is shown by its ever-increasing popularity. In many sections, 50 to 70 of all cars sold today are Model A Fords. Following arc just a. .few of the many features that make the Ford a . value far above the jfricc: ECONOMY -You save when you liuy the Font nml you avc every mile you drive. During the life of the car, the saving on operation, up-keep anil depreciation will amount to even more than the saving on the first cost of the car. RELIAMLITY The new Ford lias been Iiuilt to endure. .Every part lias licen carefully made of good materials to give ynu many year of talisoctory service. Many of the new Fords have already gone 50,000, 75,000 and . 100,000 miles. Speed and Acceleration The new Ford will do 55 to 65 miles on hour. Everywhere you go you note its power on the hills and its iiiuiKUul acceleration in traffic. KOADAIIIL1TY From all over the Dominion come letters telling of the good performance of the new Ford on rough roads and 'through heavy mud and sand.
