The origin of place names is sl- ways a matter of interest, and in this connection we are privileged to republish a document which hitherto seems to have escaped the eye of the historian. It is a letter

'which appeared in the Inndon Gentleman's Magazine of 1771. dated Nov. 8 of that year and writ- ten by a scttier.who had recently arrived on what is now Prince Ed- ward Island. The correspondent to whom we are indebted for its dis- covery calls attention to the refer- ence in the letter to Iii-IS. Mermaid, after which it is probable the set- tlement on the East River was; called: also to the naming of Bel-l fast "after a village in Irelandfi] There is also interesting reference to Governor Patterson's family and! to conditions of settlement then prevailing. We regret that the set- tler's name is not given, but the

3 statements sct forth have all the ear-marks of authenticity. We I, quote:

"We arrived here safe the middle oi August. I have since been over several parts of the Island which , exceeds, in most respects, my ox- pectaticns. I saw the remains of many barns, and other buildings for farmers, as large as any I remem- 15. ber in Berkshire. and the lands appear to be excellent for wheat. and all sorts of grain and herbage. There are many orchards, which produce very good apples, and other fruits; gooseberries, currents and strawberries seem t.o be natives of the Isle, as they are met every where in abundance. Governor Patterson and his family arrived a few days after us; I have seen him several times; he seems good natur- ed, and fit to struggle with the dif- ficulties that must attend the set- tlement of such an infant colony. "A man-of-ivar. called the Mer- maid, touched here: the Captain has got a fine lot of 20,000 acres, which has the good remains of a village upon it. with a church; it was called Prim by the French, but he intends to name it Belfast, after a village in Ireland. I mention this circumstance, as I landed on the spot. and ate some excellent fruits of his orchard, which though over- grown with weeds, produce plenty, and there appears * to be six or seven hundred acres of clear lands belonging to it. ‘The soil is very deep in many places of the Island and must produce hemp and flax,

but all looks forlorn, for want of cultivation; however, the Island

must soon wear a new face, if the Proprietors do their duty. 'I‘here‘ are about three hundred Settlers come from England and Scotland this summer; those from Scotland brought a Presbyterian Parson with

them, a. very good sort of a man. , People that come hither from Eur- op'e, should set out in April, to have the summer before them. to provide houses and ‘stock for the winter, which is now beginning to set in.

‘The Island is upwards of 100 miles long, and about 30 or 40 broad, with many fine rivers that in- tersect the whole, and must make carriage easy. I-lcre I am told are no fogs. as on the Continent, which is a good circumstance. I wish oth- er people were animated with the same spirit for settlements that I am: if that vxcrc the case, I think this Island. in a very few years would make a great figure in the_ exports of corn, fish, pork, etc, but am afraid it will be kept back by people at home, who have got grants without intention oi settling the lands. I am in treaty for half o lot, or 10,000 acres, and expect to get it cheaper than if I had pur- chased in London. I now act with my eyes open, knowing the situation and quality oi the lands-to be good. We can have cattle, pigs, sheep, and good stock from the Continent, at very easy terms; those who bring out coarse woollcns, and other goods fit for this climate, and an

profit on them. I would not have people come without some small property, or a knowledge of hus- tawdry. fishery, building, Smith's work, etc. Idle folks will not do here. Fish is in amazing plenty all round the Island; the cod fishery must be very valuable in time. but my scheme you know is termini!‘

STABILIZATION FUND

As announced recently in the press, ‘the Dominion V Agricultural Stabilization Fund has been ap- proved and put into effect on a list of approved commodities for export to the United Kingdom. ‘These commodities comprise cattle, live poultry, bacon and hams, beef and veal, mutton and lamb, pork, poultry (dressed) other edible meats, eggs (in shell, dried or frozen.) wsein, cheese, milk (con- densed, evaporated or in powder) fruits, prepared in air-tight tainers, vegetables, prepared, maple syrup, maple sugar, honey, extracted or in the comb, tobacco leaf, fish, (fresh, chilled or frozen.) canned fish (including shell fish.)

The Stabilization Fund. as noted on other occasions, is for the pur- pose of fixing the exchange rate of the pound sterling at $4.60 Canad- ian currency, the difference be- tween this rate and the prevailing exchange on the commodities above listed being made up to Canadian exporters out of a. fund specially provided by Parliament. Details of the plan are given in s circular is- sued by the Dominion Department of Finance.» The approved com- moditles, with the exception oi cat- tle, poultry or meats, must have been in their primary form the product oi the 1933 crop or produc- ing or fishing season, as the case may be. Application for payment from the Fund must be made by the exporter or his duly authorized agent, who shall be required to furnish satisfactory evidence to the Minister of the exrport and sale of approved commodities and as to the amount of the proceeds realized from the sale thereof by a statutory declaration giving the particular-g that may be required, supported by the following documents:

(a) A certified copy of the Cus- toms (Canada) export entry form;

(b) A copy oi the through bill 0f lading signed by the trgng. portation company;

(c) Certificate of the Canadian bank through which the sale of exchange was negotiated.

(d) A copy of the bill oi sale, or, in the case oi approved com- modities shipped on consignment, an original copy oi the account sale, certified by the selling agent in Great Britain or Northern Ireland. _ ._ ,

con-

If it appears to the Minister, after inquiry. that the advantage of the exchange stabilization is not being reflected in the price received by the primary producer of the pro- duct, he may remove any commo- dition from the approved list.

The provisions of the Stabiliza- tion Fund apply to approved coni- modities entered for expmt u: or after May i, 1933, and will expire on March 31, 1934, after which date no payment may be made there- under in respect of such commodi- ties.

Forms of statutory declaration to be completed by the exporter and of the certificate to be made by the Canadian bank through which ster- ling exchange was negotiated may be had on application to the Deputy Minister of Finance, Ottawa, or to the Assistant‘ Receiver General at Charlottetown. All claims for pay- ment from the Fund must be dir- ected to the Deputy Minister of Finance, Ottawa; envelopes should be marked "Agricultural Stabiliza- tion Fund."

There are many products on the approved list, such as canned lob- sters. poultry, etc., in which Prince Edward Island exporterl are inter. ested and already the Stabiliza- tion Fund has tended materially to

encourage trade in these com-

moditiu with the Old Country.

INSULIN CONTROLS DIABETES

One of the things that annoy! many physicians is to rend in ver- ious magazines and newspapers that diabetes is increasing, that insulin may be of help in some cases, but as the fact that diabetes is increas- ing cannot be denied, therefore in- sulin is of no help.

As a. matter of fact diabetes has been increasing as far as records are concerned because now that dia- betes can he controlled thousands of cases are being recorded and treat- ed that would never have been re- corded previous to the discovery of insulin.

The use of the proper diet, and the daily use of insulin. is keeping thousands of men and women alive to-day and able to go about their daily work who would otherwise be in their graves or rapidly approach- ing their graves-

The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company which devotes a great am- ount of money to the prevention of disease, advertises in the medical and other journals that “diabetes. under control. might be likened to a safely caked lion. Out of control it strikes with a lion's speed and crushing power. The discovery of in- sulin and its application to the treatment of diabetes is one of the great triumphs oi medical science. It has saved many thousands of lives. ,

Insulin has not only rescued child- ren who would have beendoomed without it, but it has enabled them to grow, and to live the normal healthy lives of their playfellows. It has prevented chronic diabetes from being invallds, and made it possible for them to carry on industrious,

that there are a few difficulties which appear insurmountable. The economic warfare which has arisen with other countries is interpreted as relations with Russia and the Irish Free State. Before the con- firm“ h" Dfiitlfefied far it may be shown that Japan also is in the bad books of Great Britain. The Soviet has made no effort to com- P11! with the demands upon which depends renewal of trade negotia- tions. Britain cannot, under the circumstances take cognizance of Russia in any international pro- Pvsal that may be put forward.

Could». Australia. Argentina and the United States are the cfiief wheat exporting countries of the world. Representatives of these four nations recently met. in Geneva and then in London to discuss the Droblem of over-production. The main proposal put forward, appar. ently by the United States and Ar- gentina, was that the carry-over problem should be solved by an all. round curtailment in the acreage given to the major cereal. Australia disagreed and so did Hon. G. How- ard Ferguson on behalf of Canada, 1-le refused to put Canada's name on the dotted line until the arrival‘ of the Canadian Prime Minister in London for the World Conference.

President Roosevelt ls confronted with another problem by the rev. elations of the Morgan partners be. fore the United states Senate com. mittee. He will have to face the radical demand that he rid himself of those members of his Cabinet who are considered conservatives, chief among them his Secretary o: the Treasury. Mr. Woodin, when

the conservative and the mdiul elements in the Democratic party as well as those who were the Pres- ident's personal friends. This w“ taken as an indication that he in. tended to steer a middle course, Events since March 4 have made him steer a course that is much more toward the left than the right. cir- cumstances have made necessary radical measures.

useful careers.

A goodly percentage of them will live out the expected span of life for their ages.”

' How are you to know if you have diabetes?

If you are putting on weight, it would be well to have your urine ex- amlned. In fact everybody should

have the urine checked up once or

twice a year. Sugar in the urine is

usually a sign of diabetes. -

Diabetes may be prevented by not.

eating too much starchy food- sugar, potatoes. bread , cakes and pastry, and by taking regular daily exercise.

Even if diabetes does get a. foot-

hold in the body it can be fully con- trolled by proper diet, exercise and the use of insulin.

"Still a grave danger remains. In-

sulin makes the patient feel so well that he sometimes makes the mis-

take of regarding himself as cured. He must be remedied that if he lets his lion, Diabetes, get out of control he runs a risk which may be fatal. As long as he keeps his lion caged he is safe."

Insulin doesn't cure diabetes; it controls it.

SERKAU DEAL

During the Session much discus- sion resulted from what is referred to as the Serkau arrangement for the export of Canadian cattle t» Russia in return for Russian PTO- ducts. There is nothing to prevent any individual dealing by private barter with Russia but there is an embargo on the importation to Canada from Russia of coal. D111? wood, woodpulp, timber, asbestos and raw furs. There is nothing to prevent the importation of crude oil, which is countenanccd by the Government on the around that i" will give employment w Canadian workmen at Canadian refineries. The Canadian Government. is in- vited, by Mr. Serkaus proposal, to guarantee Russian bonds payable in 1935 to the tune cf- four millions maximum. At the same time the Dominion is invited to protect the Canadian sellers of cattle, or their banks, against breach of contract by the Russian Government. The present Government is not doing business with Mr. Serkau.

TARIFF BOARD

The new Tariff Board provided for under the Act, of August third. 1oa1, will function as soon as the House rises. The personnel of the Board is: Honourable E. H. Sedg- wick, M. N. Campbell and Charles Hebert, Mr. Sedgwick is the Chair- man of the Board. Each of the three members shall hold office for a. period of ten years, but shall not servo after reaching the age of seventy years.

The Board is a fact finding body and its purpose is to enquire into the price and cost of raw materials in Canada. and elsewhere and the cost of transportation of such goods from the place of production "to the place of consumption. It will also advise as to equalization of duties; the cost, efficiency and conditions of labour and the range of prices as between wholesale and retail. The Board wllimake general en- quiries into all such matters as may in any way have a bearing on pro- duction and price to the consumer; it will also investigate combinations which‘ tend to enhance prices, and tho Board may exercise powers ex- tended under the Combines In- vestigatlon Act, when requested t0 do so by the Minister oi Finance.

TARIFF ITEMS

There are seven hundred items affected by Imperial Conference agreements where preference in any degree up tn free entry may be given. From those seven hundred, tariff experts have selected about fifty from which useful preference may be granted to the United States. They are largely from among the iron and steel and chemical classifications and manu- factured goods, though not confined to them.

FARM IMPLEMENTB

One of the important lurid changes is the fixation permanently of present low tcrifl rates on ra- pair parts for fann implements. (To be continued)
