Hubbell ably entertained ine members of the club with an ad- dress, taking for his subject, "When We Are Young," being followed by *~ Dr. W. H. Gifford who contributed very timely and witty remarks in making a re- view of "Life" as he saw it. Following the more formal rroceedings, some time was spent in the playing of games, the ev« cring's program being a highly, successful one from every point of view. Mr. Walker, who was introduced by Geo. Finley, enter- taited the members render- ing a plano solo and a vocal comic s0io. Mr, Walker was given a hearty vote of thanks proposed by T. Young, on behalf of the club. Gord. Bunt won the prize of the evening, when he held a ra- ther fortunate, but rather insig- -nificant looking piece of blue pa- yr, which he claims was given hi.

The sleet which fell for over three hours, formed a glassy coating over the snow which was already on the highway and cars which 'were without chains were everywhere in difficulties. Trate fic was greatly hindered west of the city, particularly just west of the Union Cemetery where the highway assumed the character- jetics of a skating rink. The long Will there was like a toboggan glide and the heavy trucks and cars navigated with the greatest difticulty. At one time some five or six trucks and as many cars were stuck in the valley and had to be shoved out laborously by hand, As time passed 'the the situation became more acute driv- ers detoured morth to the first concession, while others waited for sand to be placed on the road. Large numbers of cars were lined up at each end of the incline, but after sand was ap- plied shortly after five o'clock, normal traffic was resumed, Cut of 1,120,000 in China's Army Nanking, China, Jan. 22.--The Chinese Government has decided to reduce its army from 1,200,000 men to 80,000, the official Kuo- min news agency announces, The announcement explained, that the morale of the present force was poor and its equipment inadequate, By cutting its strength, more money will be available for equipment.

After a strenuous debate lasting the whole afternoon the Farmers' convention voted down a resolu- tion calling' on the Provincial Government to declare a morator- ium by a vote of 99 to 95. The slim majority for the op- ponents of the proposal followed more than a score of fighting speeches on both sides. In rejeet- ing the scheme the convention endorsed the stand taken last night by the Premier of the Prov- ince, Hon, J. E. Brownlee, who advised against the move. Two members of the Federal Parlia- ment also threw their weight a- gainst jt, Willlam Irvine, Weta- skiwin, and Alfred Speakman, Red Deer. Declaration that it was a mat- ter of life and death to the farm- ers, that they were unable to pay anything on their debts and had a right to protect their homes and farms from seizure were frequent- during the debate. Opponents of the measure warned of the dan- ger to the credit of individuals and the Provincial Government, and claimed a moratorium was only a postponement, and no sol- ution of the defects in the exist- ing economic system.
