PROVINCIAL EXHIBITION _

The Provincial Exhibition closes to-day. The attend-

ance, owing largely to the latcnhss of the season and the fact that practically all the farmers were too busy with

‘their harvest to attend to aiiythlng else, even un cxliibi-

tion, was not as large as that of last year. The weather also is somewhat to blame, the opening day being positive- ly disagreeable in the morning. Yesterday with fine wea- ther, ‘though cool and windy, brought a much larger ut- leiidancc and very much better opportunities for viewing the stock and other exhibits. The races were well patron- ized, the grandstaiid being filled to cripnclty. Horsemen generally are agreed that the races were among the best, it’ not the best, in the history ot' thc Association.

This year there was a distinct shortage in the number

and variety of those midway shows which are usually classed under the general 'term of Fukirs. To some this was n. disnppointnient, although to tho average shrewd fariiiers and others who regard exhibitions from tho edu- cational standpoint exclusively the absence of these. wus a eoninientlrrtloii. \Vhile it will be freely ndinitted that many of the shows that usually constitute the midway portion of un ordinary exhibition could be dispensed with witiiout detriment to the oxliihitlon it must also be ad- mitted thal good, clean, wholesome shows, with n max- imum ot` attraction and a iniiiiinuin of fakcrism contribute very largely ‘to the general attractiveness of exhibitions. ldxliiiiitioiis are usually regarded as part entertainment and part educational. Many parents very properly wish to give their children nn exhibition holiday with attrac- tions within the capacity oi` uliildreii and those attractions :irc usually looked for. The management in their desire

to i-liniinatc evcrytiiiiig of a uiicstioiiable character may this _veiir have licwii too closely to Ute line. The midway, while it had no i`akei'isiii, had also few iit`ti'nc'tioiie and in this way was |ici'liiips a little disappointing to those \vlio look for oiitertiiiiiiiieiit and who are willing, for U. day's sport, to 'try conclusions even with a fakir.

THE EXHIBITS.

As an exhibition of what llriiice Erlwaril island can

prodiice iii the way oi' live stock, field and garden crops, art work, cic., it was a splendid siiceess. lllr. Grcciileesi, of Bowmaiivilie, Ontario, wiio judged the heavy horses, expressed surprise on finding such animals of this class in Priiice iildwnrd Island. They compared favorably, he said. with those shown in Toronto and were fully up to the stiiiidard of those shown at the Ontario Central Ex- hibition. There were some splendid specimens in this' class.

In Light I-lorscs the Islaiid`s ropirtntioii was well .sus-

taiiied. These were judged by M;-_ \V_ J_ Stalk of Edmmb ton, Alta., who has acted in a similar capacity at almost every exhibition in Faiiaila in tiio past several years. (lf some of the aiiiinals, notably this year's foals, he said

THE PA'I`Rl0T’S FIGURES

Ai .1 loss for some consolation to distribute to the Lib-

erals abroad after having promised them e sweeping Lib- crnl victory here, the Patriot has been serving out sooth- ing syrup in the shape of calculations of what might have lmpponod had the electors voted otherwise than they did. One of those pleasant puzzle pastimes predicates that if thirty votes had been polled for the Liberals instead ofthe Conservatives, there would have been it lliheral majority in the llouse! In the first place it is not true; in the second plnrc there has been no ofllelnl declaration of the polls. and on the ofllclnl declaration only can certain enl- eulatlons be made. Who knows but the declaration will show rin additional sent for the Government? Our Con- temporary anrl some of its friends on the mainland have been making a great rienl’of the drop in the Government majority from 26 to four. But there is absolutely no com- fort whatever in this for the \Grits, Why so confident were they that they were to win this election that they had actually selected personally the men who were to become portfolio members of the Government. The Ma. thieson Government was “doomed” and all they had to do was to go to thc country with their lies and misrepm scntiitions when they would be returned as in the pm. ceiling twenty-one years by a working majority. Why iihmildn‘t they? they argued. Everything wal in their favour. At last election there was a landslldeof which it was impossible to have a repetition. 'T'hef!elcrt!t’.liellot

infrodiieed by-the Maihieimn Government gave them on excellent opportunity to restore the.old_ party lines with-

, .

out givingppen offence to anyone. The Govxuzept had nllqd the treeeury, put the country end ite bl works en is sound basis, there was a prospect of e change ot Government at Ottawa, why shoilidn't the Liberals make the'ei‘l`ort of their lifetime to regain the reins of Govern- ment? They left nothing undone to accomplish their design. They lied whole-heartedly on the oats question, on the prohibition amendments, on the education curricu- lum, on salaries, and on the running of automobiles. They pledged themselves to no policy and there was nothing left to criticise or discuss as an opposition programme. They flooded the country with money and were generous in treating. In a. word, they staked everything ‘to gain a victory-and lost. '

Now that they have lost this, to them, critical election.

they are out in the cold for the next twenty years. They have polled every available vote theyawlll get tor the next four elections at any rate, and it is the thought of this that make; the Patriot grab at straws of consolation to circulate abroad for the comfort of the Grit party organs

which it had so grossly mislead and bitterly disappointed "

by its optimistic prophecy of the doom of the Mathieson Government. '

There are in reality. no crumbs of comfort whatever

for the Grits. A Province which had been Liberal for twenty-one years has, after three years' experiment of Conservative rifle. approved the experiment and endorsed the Government for another four years.

A sioNiFicA°iir siLi:Nci:

it is quite evident The Patriot is ashamed of the in-

terpretation which the Halifax Ciironlcle has put on its recent cninpaign. The Chronicle has boasted that the $100,000 subsidy rind the car ferry were "bribes" which the people here were too ungrateful to appreciate and that for the future it wouldn’t be' business or politics to pay any furthei' atteiitlon to 'the lsland's claims. The Patriot is silent on the subject. Does its silence mean consent? Docs it' believe what the Chronicle says is true? Does it seek to maliiteiii that we had no rights or claims under Confederatioii? Does it sit down under tiio reflection that the whole of its boasted claims to a share in obtaining the additional subsidy and the car ferry was mere political claptrap, meant to delude and mislead the electors? Are we to assume that the Patriot endorses the policy of the Chronicle and that for tho future we may expect a barred and bolted door at Ottawa against the prosecution of any of oui' further claims?

A BIT OF HISTORY

There are many circumstances to confirm Great Britain’s

Statistics just now available show that during/I the period

from August 1, 1914, to August 31, 151.15, the exports from the United States to Austria and Germany decreased by $99,932,516. This would, on the face of it, indicate that trade between the United States and those two countries had practically ceased. But there is an-other revelation in tiio trade figures. During the same period exports from the United States to Norway, Sweden and the Netherlands increased by $96,612,885. These exports undoubtedly find their way by circuitous routes through these neutral coiin- tries to Germany and Austria, and this is why Great Brit. ain is beginning to watch more closely the shipments from the United States to tiieso supposedly neutral countries.

NOTES

The Montreal Fiiiancial Times, refering to the big

Amcriciiii loan says:-“Tire United States cannot dispose of her products to iiiiy ndvaiitnge at all to any other purchasers than the Allies, for 'tho access to thc (lcntrzil Einpires is practically closed and there are no other big iiiiportiiig nations in the market for t`ooil-i~itui`i`s, cotton :iiid other Aiiiorlcuii products. When the British Navy inade it possible for the United States to sell its products to tho Allies and practically iinpossiblo to soil 'them to tho ('cn- troi Eiiipircs, it virtually niadc it necessary in the long run for thc llnitcd States to assist in iinanciiig the Allies campaign.

THE HAPPINESS OF THE

HOME

it is by no nicaiis an un-

common thing to hear that the happiness of a homo has been wrecked by the inter- ference of si third party who has made mischief between husband and, wife. Every girl should be most careful to see that no word or ac- tion of hers ever causes the slightest jar to mar the hap- piness, of in household.

Both the gentler and the

sterner sex have been to blame ln instances where harmony of n homo has been upset, owing to un- timely words» and interfer- ence. ‘ ‘

lt is, indeed. a grave re-

sponsibility to be the cause of ovdflhrowlng the peace and sanctity of a mice hap-
