A QJLE Rl i fER(10 haslWriglhit By T. HAH80SD HABBOKD. THE hay crop in the Fraser Valley has been good this year, and the fanners have had little cause to grumble at weather conditions. It has averaged about three tons to the sere, the crop on old lands being generally light, while that on the newly seeded acreage has been heavy.

It has been a busy time, and quite a amber of boys have developed new muscle tossing hay up on to the waggon, which la quite a strenuous sisnlss when done as the farmer waste It dona. The tanner must grumble, of flours, so some of them have been complaining that other crops require a good shower of rain or that the fly has been misbehaving tn the turnip fllelda.

They have the newest ideas, the most recent innovations. all round, crop conditions are good, and the farms are looking prosperous, giving every indication of a good harvest or.

Tom Reld who started the municipal picnic habit in the rural districts, and many youngsters, who had never been for a sail, bless the happy moment when the reeve first thought Of -chartering a stesmer and taking the crowd along. The first picnic was 'up to Pitt Lake, and, once again, attention it drawn to the fact that some- enter-' prising person should run regular and well-advertised excursions all through the summer months to Pitt Lake, for It Is one of the greatest and least known beauties of the province.

Claimed Irish Invention Will Revolutionize World's Transportation Systems Famous Parisian Theatre May Be Turned to Talkie PARIS. Jury SO. (UP) A proposal to transform the Coraedla Pmncalae, most venerable of French theatres, whose stage born the tread of the bus-klned Moliere, Into a talkie house, la now before the members of the board of directors. An alternate proposal Is that the company wbicb now year In and year out, prenents a repertoire of French classics of the drama, constitute itself a motion picture troupe for the production of talkies.

The proposal has brought down upon the directors a horrified wail of pro-teat from all sections of the press. This ancient theatre was established in 1690 by order of Louis XIV and since baa enjoyed a state subsidy. The immediate reason for the introduction of the project was the announcement of Mile. Marie Bell, one Japan-Abyssinia Pact Now to Be Ratified TOKYO, July 20. The ratification of the long delayed treaty between Japan and Abyssinia will take pluce shortly, the government having at las: found a professor at the Imperial university who could read Abyssinian.

The treaty is written in the language of the African kingdom, and although there are supposedly correct copies In English and in Japanese, the foreign office could not offer tho original for ratification until it bud been read and certlfUd by a person in authority who bad been properly sworn. This seemed St first an almnet Impossible task. No one in the loreign office could read Abyssinian. A canvass of other offices and two or tlireo colleges failed to turn up an Abvssiu-ian scholar. There- ere experts in almost every other language, and several even who could translate Sanscrit, but none know anything scout Abys- which la some assistance to the dairy firmer of the valley.

TrrrffK AmrcAL 0UTEYG8 IDEA GOOD. There was quite a debate over the best place to hold a municipal picnic at the last Langley Municipal Council meeting. Boms held that people did not enjoy a plenle unless they went to some new place, while others held that going a distance to a plenle entailed a great amount of preparation In arranging for milking and feeding stock. The farmers, tired with haying, wanted to lounge around and play horseshoes. Some pleaded that the women were worked to death on a picnic away from home, and others held that they would work themselves to death la any case.

Some thought that the women enjoyed going on a picnic with the children and that the men fussed and fumed too much, and all were agreed that there must be shade. When the hot sun on the hay field la considered, this explains Itself. Everyone was of the opinion that the annual plenle idea was a good one.
