‘Die liming season. now upon us. ls the season for house-cleaning and city-cleaning. Entered upon system- ltically and ivholc-liearteilly, thc cleaning-up process can be made a pleasurable exorcise as ‘well as a nc- ressary task.

On these oc- easions it is the duty of the mere male to refrain from grumbling, to keep out of the way’, or, better still, to assist cheerfully in the beating of carpets, the moving of furniture, and the dozen odd jobs that require mus- riilar energy, leaving thc intelligent direction of affairs in more capable

The delay of the Federal Govern- ment in making senatorial appoint- ments and in deciding upon a Min- istcr of Fisheries has caused consider- able confusion in the Liberal party ranks in this Province. Hon. Dr. Grant has been nominated for Kings. but it is not known definitely wheth- er Mr. A. E, Macbcan, M. P. will again be the candidate for Prince. As for the contest in Queens, there will be no attempt to select Liberal stand- ard-bcarers until the will of thc Prime Minister is made known. I-Ic may give Prince Edward Island thc Fisheries portfolio, and he may not. It ls understood that pressure is being brought to boar upon Mr. E. T. Higgs to nfier himself for nomination but whether he is prepared to comc forward or not has not been disclos- ed. A good deal will depend upon thc attitude of the Prime Minister to his or any other nominee's canvassing.
