THE WINTER FAIR

, ‘Ina next important event in the way of exhibitions will be the Royal Winter Fair, which opens Nov. 20 in i Toronto. It is expected that every province will be represented at this. show, which features especially agri- cultural products. The New Bruns- wick papers announce that a carioad of exhibit material has alNndy gone, forward, and that special attention‘ will be given to displaying New Bruns-

' wick apples and potatoes.

The Guardian is informed that, preparations are under way for a good exhibit of Prince Edward Island

praaucriat the Fair. Ofhclals of ill:

Department of Agriculture are now engaged in preparing this exhibit. and it is to be iloped that a replc-

; sentative showing of Island potatoesl will be included. At the National

Inhibition this year there was no ex- ‘ hiblt of Island potatoes. the reason, ‘ given being that the show was held. too early in the season. At the Win- for Fair last year there were no Island 1 potatoes. because in the opinion of the local Government organ. "taking: potatoes to Ontario would be like car- rying coals to Newcastle, and one Prince Edward Island farm could produce all the potatoes LhafOntari-a imported." Nrithel" was there ally g exhibit oi’ Island potatoes at the pre- t vious years Fair, because. according I to the same authority. Premier Saun-

This year, it is hoped and believed, the Government and the Government press have run out of §xcus€s and one: prepared to accept the view of a great majority o.‘ our potato growers that the Toronto Fair offers one of the best, possible means of advertis- ing the superior quahzy of the Island product.

a NEW EPIC

Mention has already been made in these columns of the new pDOm "The written b1." Dr. Robert Bridges. poet laureate of Eng- land. who recently celebrated his 85th birthday. Dr. Bridges has been at work for several years on the poem. which is dedicated to the King. and is divided into four books of more than 4,000 lines. from the enthusi- astic mnmezlt: of the English press, it is evident that the work has al-

The Manchester Guardian is equally enthusiastic. Incldenili’. it’ pays a. noble tribute to Dr. Bridges‘

on a DOet:

"Almost alone of laureates. Dr. Bridges has always stood 8PM! from the huckstcrs of song who tune their pipes for lee: and he ha". now behind him more than four score years‘ experience of the changeful generations of men. From his ‘prcntice days in poctrl’ his has been an art in the tradi- f-ional craftsmanship of which long practice and the discipline of years bring surcr mastery of hand and ear."

The new poem of the veteran poet laureate is described n! a discourse on Mankind. or rather. on Mansoul. ~

in connection with the League of Na- tions. As is well known, Sir George has been Vice President of the League and is now head of the Canadian delegadon to that body.

At Quebec Sir George ataied that the outstanding work of the League, so fares Canada is concerned is the acceptance of the World Court of International Justice, along with Great Britain and other nations. and he predicted that the United States would enter the World Court before the present session of Congress is ended.

In Geneva Sir George heard much talk about the Dian for establishing the United States of Europe. This. to him. seemed vague and visionary. a scheme to form some kind of agree- ment by which European nations ‘would pledge themselves not to in- crease their customs tariffs within 1 the next two years. as a preparatory isiep toward free trade between them later. '

opening lines of the Divine Comedy. The following lilies from Dr. Bridges’ puem are quoted by the Sunday Times reviewer: '

""I‘was late in my long journey when I had ciomb to where

The path was narrowing and the company few.

A glow of childlike wonder en- thrard me. as if my sense

Had cOme to a. new birth puriflid. my mind enrapt

Rc-atvakening to a fresh imitation of life;

With like surprise of joy as oft a traveller feels
