SAOKVIIZLLE, N.B. July S—Un- der the chairmanship of J. Howard McKichan, of Cleveland, B. 0., the Canadian Live Stock (Io-operatives (Maritimes) held its seventh annual _ convention here last week- Mbre than sixty delegates and officials from all parts of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. attend-

ing.

In addition to the ‘uslness ses- sions, interesting lectures were given by Prof. A. B. MacDonald, Director of Extension, St. F. X. University, Antigonish; A. S. McIntyre, Reserve M11188. C. B.. Field Secretary, Dept. of Extension; Dr. D. J. MacL-ellaxi, V. 8., D. Federal Meat Inspector, Moncwn, N. B., and Dr. G. J. True- msn, President of Mount Allison University. The retiring board of directors were re-electied for the ensuing Year as follows: D. B. Cormler, Petit Ro- cher. N. 15., H. I-I. Girvan, Coal Branch, N. B., 0. A. Jess, Port Wil- 1131115. NS, and J. H. Moore, Am- herst, N. 5., and J. H. McKichan, Cleveland, C. B.

Mr. McKichan was re-elected President of the organization and Mr. W. H. McEwen, Mont-ton, has ‘been re-elected as manager.

And so the Lord be thaiikit." This same Earl of Selkirk founded the Red River settlement in 1812. bfinxln: his Scotch colonists out by way of Hudson Bay. Elsht hundred men, women. and children joined the expedition. landed at Belfast, the Gaelic cor- ruption of the French name for the district "La. Belle Face." These were incited to come by the tales of Sandy Williams, who informed them, "that Prince Edward Island was an earthly paradise—that tea grew in the swamps-that all the Indians were christianized, and that the maples yielded sweetness that with o. little trouble could be transformed into whisky." Sturdy they were, cleared the land, built their homes. and in 1823 a Kirk which stands to the present dsy. Old St. John's, its spire a beacon to her mariners homeward bound- The Polly monument was erected in the grounds of St. John's Kirk as a memorial to these pioneers, and proud is he of Belfast who can trace his descent to a. Passenger of the Polly, "the Prince Edward Island Mayflower.“ Of these Highland Scotch Immigrants, Catholic and Protmtant. may it. be said in the words of the unknown poetr-

"From the Lone shieling of the Misty Islands,

Mountains dliride us and tho waste of seas,

Still the blood is strong, the heart is highland,

And we in dreams behold the Hebrides."

For the Bums‘ Concert, ‘the Haggis on St. Andrew's night, and the gathering of the clans are year- ly celebrations, and one may still hear among the hills and dales of the Island the skirl of the pipes.

Other settlements there were too, the English at St. Eleanors, the Montgomery's at Cavendish from whom is descended Miss L. M. Montgomery, and many other set- tlements in all parts of the Island.

Carlylek First Love

May I tell you the story of Mar- garet Gordon, Lady Bannerman. Carlyles first love, who was born on Prince Edward Island. The first Governor of the British Colony oi St. John's Island was Walter Pat- terson, 1770-1786. He lived at Poi-t La Joie. Here was born a little daughter. Margaret, she remained on the Island after her father's term of govemorship, married Dr. Alex- ander Gordon of the 42nd Regiment stationed in Charlottetown. Three children were bom to them. 1 boy and 3 girls, one was called Mar- garet. The two sisters were sent to Scotland to be brought up by an Aunt. in Kirkcaldy. Margaret was a pupil of the famous Edward Irving and grew to be a maiden not only very learned, but very fair, so that when the young Thomas Carlyle came there, also fls a teacher, he fell deeply in love with her, and ventured to pay her his addresses. She is "Blumine" in "Sartar Resur- tus", But she married Sir Alexan- d8: Banner-man, a. merchant of Aberdeen, and later made Gover- nor of Prince Edward Island, and Just fifty-one years from the time she left Charlottetown, a pennilcss lass. she returned to it again as Governor's Lady with_ all the city

illuminated in her honour. Carlyle

in his "Remlniscences" tells of their

dramatic meeting on horseback at

the gate of Hyde Park after tlic

lapse of many years, neither spoke:

but tradition has it that Margaret

Bannerman died with a little again

cross on her neck. the gift of

Thomas Carlyle.

This is Just a little history and

tradition of the smallest of Canada's

Provinces with such a background.

in the words of Sir Andrew MCPhnll

"the excellence of the original stock

the industry and freedom of their lives. their social system which rc- tained some tincture of gentleness and their religious and educational advantages which fell to their lot" -these characteristics of its people were bound to put Prince Edward Island Ln the forefront as a con- tributor to the Canadian Confed- oration.

Island Industries

But Prince Edward Island's con- tribution to Confederation or to Canada has not been so much in material things although one may mention industrim known the Do- minion snd world over. There is practically no manufacturing car- ried on there.

First, Seed Potatoes, is she not called "Spud Island", and aren't we "Spud Islanders"? Even as Nova Scotland are "Blucnoses" and New Brunswickers "Herring Chokers‘. Prince Edward Island's seed poin- toel are known far and wide. They
