Those who heard the forceful ad- creases of Messrs. Tlunmon and ‘Rowe at the Strand Theatre Tuesday night. must have been impressed with the fact that there is something radi- any wrong with our tariiI situation as it applies to the agricultural ln- terests oi this country. The speakers, practical farmers themselves. gave facts and flgures which are irrefut- able, and these facts and figures point to but one conclusion, namely, that the present administration at Ottawa has been callously indifferent to our agricultural interests. Take, for instance, Mr. Tummonb citation from the latest available report of lie Dill-neat oi Trade and Com- merce. For the twelve months end- ing July. i020, we spent $902,440,421 in the purchase of Unit/ed States pro- ducts, an increase of $130,298,224over the corresponding previous twelve monk. We imported $302,148,770 worth of agricultural, vegetable and

animal products, about one-half oi whim came from the United States. According to the Dominion Bureau oi Statistics. approximately ‘l5 to 80 per cent. of these products imported are "such as are produced in Can- m."

Our farmers, on the other hand, are being forced to purchase more and more machinery from oursouth- ern neighbors. In 1025 we imported 00,000,000 worth of zarin implements; in i028 this amount had risen to 039000.000. and for the twelve months ending July last it had reached the enormous figure oi $40,834,210. Quot- ing other authoritative figures in substantiation oi his statements, Mr. ‘Ifinnmons showed that not only did we send back to the United States every dollar that we received from them for products which they pur- ehased, but we sent in addition sev- onty-flve cents out oi every dollar that w; received for goods sold to the British Empire.

Dealing with the dairy situation, Mr. Tummon pointed out that the decrease in milk production in Can- ada in i927, when the effect oi the Australian butter importations be- came apparent, was equal to 14.878.- 115 pounds oi butter. In the same year we imported. from New zealand and Australia 14,195,789 pounds. In other words. the shrinkage or de- crease in milk production in 1027 as compared with i020. expressed in pounds oi butter, agrees with the amount oi butter imPibrted during the same period. As the speaker pertin- entiy asked. can any better evidence b0 required t0 show that the import- ation oi foreign butter at one cont por pound duty is gradually driving Canadian dairymen out b: their own market’)

Ably supporting tha arguments nd- vinced by his colleague, Mr. Rowe emphasised the advantages which fwould accrue to Canada. and partic- plariy to the farming, fishing and

mini-bl interests of the Maritime provinces. if the policy of adequate protection for Canadian producers, as advocates by the Hon. n. n. Bennett. who put into effect. The prediction flilt the next general election would a!‘ so. Bennett min-nee at the head among Conservative administra- ' wk voiced by both speakers, and some with enthusiastic ap-

all lines will be fully up to use "u- age, and there are dennm reasons for the hope that prices will be well mllnillllfid 0nd in some cases will exceed those of/recent years. There is a tendency in the midst of abund- ance to be less careful about the qual- ity of our marketable products, and a word oi caution may not be out of place at such a time as the presen‘ It will not be forgotten that in the 105i. analysis prices depend upon quality.

Of prime importance. perhaps. to the people oi this Province is the marketing of our potato crop. During the last year or two the reputation of Prince Edward Island potatoes has received a distinct upward impetus. and it is oi the utmost importance that this reputation should be main- tained. With col-n, lsory inspection of every shipment oi potatoes leaving the Province there is every reason to believe that the good name of this product will be enhanced. Inspection alone, however. will not ensure qual- ity. 1t will require the utmost care on the part oi every producer. and it may safely be assumed that this care will be taken. Prince Edward Island has this year an exceptional oppor- tunity to build up a market for many years to come. As to the manner oi marketing, whether in bulk or in handy packages, the shippers‘ who have made a study of the subject may be depended upon to adopt the most modern methods, and they in turn must depend upon the ears and the watchfulness oi the producer in pro- viding a quality product.

A TIMELY WARNING.

The report oi the meetings of the Canadian Good Roads Association, now in‘ progress in Charlottetown, will be followed with great interest throughout Canada generally, and particularly by the people of Prince Edward Island. No Province needs constructive advice on highway build- ing and financing more than we do. Our roads during the past year have been anything but a credit to the Province. and many of the sugges- tions nlade at the present conference, while generally applicable to every Province. have a particular signific- ance for us. For example, the salient features oi highway financing, as summed up yesterday by Mr. A. D. Ferguson. oi tho Bureau of Econo- mics, Canadian National Railways, might ilttingly be engraved, framed and hung up in the omce oi the Pro- vincial Minister oi Public Works. Mr. Ferguson said: <

"Borrowing money for highways should not be lightly undertaken‘ until tn, economic requirements have been thoroughly studied and the trafilc needs scientifically de- termined . . . The term of the bonds issued for road building should not exceed the anticillllfiil life of the road. and a definite por- tion oi the principle should be, re- tired annually. such a mcthfltl would ensure that the presentgen- erstlon of taxpayers Wwld Pl! i" improved roads as they‘!!!

The retail cost cilneces- series for a working class family have increased by rather more than duper cent.. while wages oi the employed workers have advanced about 00 per cent.

One of the unfortunate with»; in which a patient sometimes finds him. self is trying to decide whether he ‘should iollow the advice ofbis den- ‘tlst and leave his teeth in, or big phy- sician and have them removed.

He has confidence in both of them andyetlie kncwathatinsoiarasne is concerned. they can't both be right.

In the routine of examination by his yaa, ' lan he haa been requested to have an J! ray of his teeth, and the physician advises the removal of one or more pofttbem.

His dentist, examining the same x ray illm, advises that there is-not really sufficient trouble in llia teeth that he should condemn them and have some removed. He points out that no teeth, grinding, teeth par- ticularly, can ever take the place cf his own teeth and that his general health will sufler if he has these tooth removed and a bridge or plate substituted. _

In an effort to do the "right" thing the , “ ‘ consults the x ray spec- ialist who tells him that he has sent his report to the dentist of to the physician dependipg on which of these sent the patient to him. . '

The X ray specialist reports exactly what he finds, pycrrhoea, pislpless teeth. incompletely filled teeth, areas of- infection about certain roots, and so forth. -

New three out _of nve patients treated in hospitals suffer from dis- eases traceable ‘to infections from some source in the body.

You can understand that poisons manufactured about the teeth, gums. tonsils, or nose, can be carried any- where by the blood stream and start trouble at a point far distant from the mouth. ;

Now what is the patient to do?

very often, as he ‘naturally doesn't want to undergo the ordeal of havlnl his teeth pulled, nor does he want to lose his teeth, he allows them to remain in.

Of course, the physician can quite

naturally say that as they are the patients teeth and he has infection from them, if he wants to keep the teeth and infection he is welcome to them. ' » You can thus readily understand that ti!» Patient is not gcttin: at the Not of the matter which is to get in- fection out oi his system.

He should let physician, dentist. and X ray specialist together, and if necessary have any organising about the teeth examined by a bacteriolo- gist.

Eastw d from the ancient city of Alras lay sonle of the blood- iest battlefields oi the War. over which the tide oi fighting had rolled back and forth ever since 1914. since the spring of 101'! it had en- Joyed comparative quiet. and here tens of thousands of Russian prison- ers and countless German wcrkln! parties had labored to construct an

P"!!! “ line oi defence. Its out- posts lay ‘orlly five miles from the gates of the city. Behind this first line, the bastion of which was Mon- chy-le-Preux. lay three other mod- ern lines of fortifications. These made up the I-Iindenburg Llne.‘and consisted of belt after belt of barbed wire. and con ‘ emplacements and pillboxes sc angled and placed that each one covered and cnflladed it! neighbors. All the experience of modern war. unlimited time and la- bor had combined in the building of these works.

I-Iere there was no chance of a suc- cessful surprise attack. The enemy was on the alert; eleven divisions, it was later learned, were concentrated on that narrow front through which the Canadians were to advanccabe- lay on this front was a‘ necessity of German strategy. If the Hindenburg Line failed, there could be no in- termediate stand. which Ludendorfl considered essential for his plan of campaign.

In the moonlight oi August 20, at 3 a. m.. the Canadian 2nd and 8rd Divisions attacked. with the help of a heavy barrage oi artillery and machine-gun fire. By a brilliant en- circling movement, the 8th 0M3. Brigade captured Monchy village. which stands on the crest ofaltocll hill high above the surroundlill country. By 10.40 p. m. the I-Ieninsi Ridge fell before the assault ci the 0th Brigade. An advance of 6,000 yards on a two-division frontage had been achieved. Next day the attack continued. and when night fell an- othsr.4.000 yards had been gained. Chsrisy and Vis-en-Artcls had been captured, and Canadians were en- trenched on the outskirts of Hau- ccurt. Remy. Boiry-Notrre-Dame. and Pelves. » i

In spite oi heavy casualties and flanks insecure from counter-attack. the preliminary assault had been successful. It had. however. to b0 continued on the f0 owing day, for expectod relief was not forthcoming. Further progress was achieved. and

by the lat and 4th Divisions.
