Island manufacturers exhibiting for the first time. I refer to the Cen- tral Bedeque Flour Mills, Annie L. Hunter's Chocolates. and W. S. Fra- ser dz Co., canning establishment. manufacturing goods of a quality unsurpassed anywhere.

We wish to impress upon visitors from other parts of Canada, and from the United States, that this Province is a Disease Free Area. We are now quality producers in butter, eggs, bacon, seed and table pota- toes. also finest lamb and beef. D. A. Compton Lundie, Veterinary Ex- pert of the Federal Department of Agriculture. made him annual in- spection of cattle in this Province last June. and reported conditions regarding the health cf Island cat- tle highly satlsfactcry not a single case of T. B. was found after test- ing several hundred. Ladies and gentlemen, remember Prince Edward Island stands for Products, Excel- lent, Incomparable.

Thirty-eight years ago the Char- lottetown Exhibition Association was incorporated. The main object of the founders, and of the present Board of Directors was, and is, not to make money for shareholders. This statement has been truthfully said by previous Presidents. Once more may I be allowed to say. the shareholders have only received since the inauguration of the Asso- elation an average of a fraction over one per cent. in dividends, while large sums have been expended in erecting buildings and keeping them in repair.

The objects aimed at by the As- sociation are to benefit our people and country; to encourage the cul- tivation of friendship between city and rural districts; to improve the breed of cattle, horses. swine, sheep, poultry and other products of the farm; to improve the minds of our people (for the sake of health) with the necessity of studying domestic science; to encourage Art. Needle- work, Knitting. Rug-making, and

l the manufacturing of various art-

icles; to stimulate in the minds of

. old and young. particularly the ris- ‘ ing generation, an honest, healthy

rivalry for the highest standard in all that pertains to the best. This is the aim of our Association, and for such purpose the Exhibition is held from year to year.

At the opening of last year's Ex- hibition, we made special reference to the great necessity of our people co-opcrating more with the Direct- ors. I am pleased to say, to a cer- tain cxtcnt. cur ambitions have been realized. We have now an Advis- ory Board, representing the Pro- vince. and City of Charlottetown. composed of the following gentle- mell: Hon. Premier Saunders. Hon. W. M. Lea, Mr. J. W. Boulter, Mr. W. R. Shaw. Mayor Yco, and Coun- cillor Kennedy. To those. and es- pecially to the Minister of Agricul- ture and Mr. Boulter, we are in- debted for counsel and assistance. Our aim now should be to bring to a merger of all Island Exhibi- tions. Almost all enterprises of the present day, are conducted more successfully by co-operation and or- ganization. than by small groups. Many advantages would be derived from a combination of this sort. one of which would be the making of a bigger and better Exhibition. Today, many patrons of our year- ly gathering will miss our late sec- retary. Mr. C. R. Smallwood, who piloted the affairs of this Associa- tion for twenty-eight years. To him. during that period. the success of the Provincial Exhibition was main- ly due. During the Fair last year. although in poor health. he held to his post. performing his duties as usual. By his passinfl Bwly. the As- sociation suffers a great loss.

The Directors have not only given the Educational part of the Exhibi- tion their careful consideration- they believe in the old saying ::A little fun how and then is relished by tho best of men." There is pre- pared for the enjoyment of vouns and old. a splendid nrosram o! amusement. including evening eon- certs in Main nuildina. and in from of oral-lesions, the Iwvsl Pailin Trcup and famous Billy Rice Trio. ‘Tomorrow the Gathering of the Clans will take place. a number of men from H.

New Record for Non-Stop Flight

(Canadian Press)

CURTIS FIELD, N. Y. August 20 -Art Goebel landed here at 11.26 o'- clock this afternoon after a non- stop flight from California which broke the existing record by almost six hours. It was the first nonstop transcontinental flight from west to east.

lion. W. M. Lea hten officially op- ened the Exhibition. I-Ie joined with the President in rendering a word of praise to the late C. R." Smallwood. who had always been in the forefront of anything that would forward the interests of the Exhibition. with which he had been so long connected. Mr. Lea then explained how it came about that, owing to the growth of the potato, industry. it became impossible for the farmers to attend the exhibit- ion during the digging season. Ac- cordingly Mr. Lea brought this matter to the attention of Mr. Smallwood. with the result that he and the directors agreed to change to August 20th.

In consequence. said the speaker, the display of all sorts of live stock, particularly horses was the finest had during the past ten years. The livestock in fact. were the finest he was confident that had ever been shown. and interest in home breedlng/‘was reviving.

The provincial exhibition has been of great benefit to the farming in- dustry of Prince Edward Island — particularly the breeders of live stock.

We have in the barns an exhibi- tion of live stock most creditable to the live stock breeders. And it had been the policy of the government‘ to encourage this.

At the Canadian Royal, some ex- cellent cattle have been shown from this province and they have carried off many high honors. If lt had not been for such a show as the Char- lottetown Exhibition such results could hever have been attained.

If all of the farmers in Prince Edward Island were today raising such animals as are in the barns here. the values of our livestock would be increased not by thous- ands, but by millionsof dollars.

For that reason Mr. Lea consider- ed the work of the directors was of the greatest importance, and they were deserving of the highest cred- it—much more than they got. The speaker in this connection express- ed the opinion that the Government and the City should. as they zlo_at Halifax. underwrite the venture in such a way that ‘there would be no danger of the directorate losing money through any deficits.

He expressed the hope that large numbers of people will attend, ‘and, commented favorably on the ex- cellent Midway attractions. He then pronounced the exhibition forrnal- ly open.

Premier Saunders concurred in. the remarks which had been made by previous speakers about the late C. R. Smallwood. He then express- ed his pleasure at being able to join in the opening ceremonies of this exhibition. He commended also the advance in the date of the show by four or five weeks, stating that the better exhibits of live stock fully justified the change. _

Eighty five per cent of our peo- ple are engaged in agriculture, said the speaker, so it is of the utmost importance to encourage all phases of agricultural development.

We grow annually eight to ten million bushels of potatoes. Mr. Boulter had stated a few days ago that the inspection of these could not be too rigid. and the speaker agreed with him.

However, often, in foreign mar- kets other potatoes are joisted ofl? on the consumer as the P. E. Island product showing the reputation which these have made for themsel- ves. Such also was the case with Malpeque oysters-still offered for sale in the markets of Boston and New York, though we had not shipped a Malpeque oyster away for years. '

Mr. Saunders made allusion to the benefits arising from this Province having been made a disease free ar- ea. °,

He went on to co mend the im- provements wrou in various de- partments of agriculture by tiie various co-operativs societie such as the Potato Growers Association, the Egg and Poultry Association,

tc. .

Mr. Saunders felt that while the west might offer great opportunit- ies ahd possibilities yet, for a young man who wished to engage in farming. no Brsatoi‘ Possibilities were to be had than could be en- countered in this province. This was largely due to the many ‘excellent products which could be railed advantage in Prince Edward Island. He felt that the older people should impress on their sons and their daughters that we have in this Island every reasonable source of prosperity and happiness.

"This exhibit is one of the fin- est in the his of the province. All that is rec is fine weather

‘—and I hope we will have that"

said the speaker. The Premier then went on to

combat the viaw that there nothing else of mm in the - hibiition but the . racing. He felt the lxhlblti also implanted an interest in o matters. and
