Mother's Day

stands for all the

Million things

She does for me each day, Through all the years, in time's greet flight,

Each boy and girl can sing.

Means indeed her

Open arms,

That haven in distress,

Where all the little hurts ere cured- Just by her tenderness. I

I

Shapes the Teaching each has known, For, kneeling at her knee,

We learned that prayer none can forget! She taught to you and me. '

Spells out Home and happiness, Her dream throughout the years; Within its walls is there enshrined,

1, Her hopes - her joy - her fears.

Speaks of Everything she does With loving, tender care; Of worried watchfulness that spun

The silver, in her hair.

0 dearest Mother

Is the Richness of her love Born of that love divine: Years do not change thy precious heart

mine.

Pressure from suit.

The official disclosed that Can- ada's effort to trim the insurance rates resulted from strong pressure from Saskatchewan shippers who want in move grain and other commodities to the U.K. through Churchill.

Otherwise. they face comparat- ively hlgher freight costs in mov- ing their goods by truck and rail to lake-head points or west-coast ports. The people most interested in securing lower rates at Church- iii are those engaged in the vmeat industry.

However, the way the season now runs, lukstchen... gets little ben- efit from the . duced ntee be- cause the shipping season at chm-chili does not parallel the period in which provincial crops are available for shipment. The official said extension or the sea- son siiould overcome that defect.

Newfoundland Mon Seek Furtherance of Mutual Trade

The people of Prince Edward Is-'

land and, Newfoundland mould patronize and foetu trade as much as possible with one another, stat- ed Mr. W. R. Gobble, Vice Presi- dent of the Purity Biscuit Oomp- any. St. John's, Newfoundland, in an interview last night. Mr. Goobio wits speaking of a greater recip- rocity of trade between the two provinces. '

Mr. Gooble and Mr. EA. Burke, sales manager of the company. are in the Province to survey the po- tential market for their biscuits Mid lines of confectionery. Yester- day they met with Premier Jones and members of the Government and today they will visit summer- side and other Island centres.

Mr. Goobie believes that e larg- er volume of trade could be built up between the irwo Island Prov- inces if present trading relations were more equalized. "This Prov. ince. he said. "could import New- foundland palnts and oordage such as ropes, fishing twines and nets.”

The 'Eslrimo', he stated, could 9""? Ollierate at a substantial profit if she carried a plying load bilm Ways. He suggested that fish could be carried back here it the boat had proper refrigeration ac- commodations.

The people of Newfoundland are desirous of s more mutually gd- vantaseous trade. he stated. It is not the fault of the P. E. Island people that the trade is not more recipmcal. but of the Newfound- landers themselves as they have hardly attempted to open up mgy. kets here.

The visitors were well received in their contacts yesterday and were encouraged by the Govern. ment to llroceed with their enter- prise. he stated. They hope to my. their products on the Island mgr. ket within two months.

The Purity Biscuit Company is the only firm in Canada which manufactures English type biscuits, They carry 19 lines of biscuits to. gethcr with ice cream cones, jams. marmalade. icing sugar and hard bread. '

The following report of the ac- tivities of the Charlottetown Driv- ing Park 6: Provincial Exhibition Association for the past year was given by retiring President H. J. Kennedy at the recent annual meeting of the Association.

"Our Old Home Week at Prov- incial mhibition was held Aiisust lib-20. Unfortunately weather con- ditions were not so favorable as the previous year and our at- tendance showed a sharp decrease and some of our racing events had to be postponed. There was a rec- ord number of entries for horse racing; viz: 320, which exceeded by a large margin any provincial meet in the past.

"Our Night Racing proved to be even more popular than the year before. I might say that this was due to the close finishes which fumlshed many thrills for the spectators.

"Another feature of our racing programme, which excelled in every respect. was the interest tak- en in the Futurity class. which was held at night. being the first time the colts started under the lights. The success of the meet was in no small measure due to the untiring efforts of the President, the late Lt.-Col. J. P. Hooper and his cap- able secretary. Mr. W, G. Gilles- pie.

More Livestock nitric:

"We had more entries for our live stock show than in the prev- ious year and as usual the quality was up to standard. The increase in numbers is no doubt due to the amount offered by our Associat- ion in prizes, which is excelled by only one province in the Domin- ion for Class A shows. I might mention here that this Associat- ion offered upwards of 830.000. our exhibit of poultry was on a par with other years and some very fine meclmens shown. our sheep breeders also made a great- er contribution to the show than in previous years. I am pleased to report that our government is taking much more interest in pro-
