It should be dug, fertilized and prepared for the winter. Agriculture authorities say that before the frost makes thd ground too hard, the garden should be dug to a depth of eight to 10 Inches, and rotted manure or fertilizer worked in. They also say that It Is best t6 leave the surface rough so that frost will have a better chance to penetrate. This helps kill off many pests that live In thfe ground during the winter and also allows the ground to dry out more quickly in the spring. By the middle of October, late vegetables should be harvested and then all garden refus6 should be cleaned up. As many insects commonly found In war time gardens are still present In one state or another when the plants upon which they are feeding have matured, the refuse should either be burned or put into a heap to be carried away later. Don't take any chances Is the advice of agriculture author! ties. Leaves or roots of vegeta bles dug into the ground may spread disease. Many of the most destructive pests are root- feeders.

For the Red Army has met the wo men of Bucharest, and doesn't think they measure up to the gals back home. Pravda carried a first-hand account on this vital subject, and if you don't believe it's vital, you dont know Russian women which of course, is a possibility. The dispatch lold of "women with artificially pale complexions, odd hair dresses and very dark, painted lips." "You find them pretty?" on& fighter asked another. "Let them take a balh or b put under a faucet and doused, then well see," he replied gruffly. The Red Army is made up of boys from Leningrad and Moscow and also from the steppes of Kirghiz Kazakh, the hot sands of Uzbekstan, from the crab lands of Kamchatka and the Arctic wastes. This is the firs; time many have run up against uous terms of hard work for : foreign women. the Legion as president, declined J The women they have encoun- to again accept nomination for tered are not the run-of-the-mill that office. The members Rumanian women, but some the brought all the pressure they could In an effort to have him change his mind but he had al-re'ady come to a decision and fighters have encountered In cafes.

In replying to this splendid reception Dr. Bamford took the opportunity to say a few words In which he expressed his pleas ure at having been able to serve It - . . t i . . r I time will be $5,000. The hope was expressed that all the citizens will put forth every effort to buy all they possibly can and so speed the day when the boys 'over there" will be back "over here." A donation of $25 will be sent for comforts for the Veterans' Guard of Canada.

JUNIOR CHAMBER WILL BACK "GET OUT AND VOTE" DRIVE At one of their best at-' he make representations for J iAr.A nnnnrrB ; vaoont unrestricted use of the SKeena months, members of the Prince Rupert Junior Chamber of Commerce touched on many subjects at the business session following a dinner at Reid's Cafe last night. There were 22 members at the meeting. A campaign to get voters to the polls in the municipal election will be carried On, and each member was urged by President Colin McCarthy to consider himself part of the committee to bring out voters. Hugo Kranpner raised the subject, deploring public apathy at past elections. "A lot of people do not know whether they are eligible to vote or not arid It would be a good Idea If we publicized the qualifications for voters so that they could determine their status," he urged. A memorandum on post-war reconstruction Ideas was turned over to Rev. A. F. MacSween for report at the next meeting. In this regard Hugo kraupher declared that there must be an increase in business and Industry In the city after the war td accommodate the return of service men. Dr. R. G. Knlpe suggested that, before hasty action was taken, the legislation by the various governments regarding rehabilitation and reconstruction be studied. The chamber will investigate the possibility of including one of its members on the Joint rehabilitation committee. Oscar Haveroy nr'ge'd that the federal government be pressed to complete the new fishei men's floats. "Fishing is the liffWod of this city. I know of fishermen Who have left Prince Kupert and Would be willing to return If there were adequate moor-in floats here." The secretary was instructed t6 wiite a "strong"'' letter to the government urging action. Following the reading of a Ismail! I change... River highway, a motion was passed that the chamber make an effort to determine the pres ent ownership and status o the road.
