A SOLDIERS REQUEST

There was intently flied for pro- bate in London the will of an Irish soldier- of the Great War, Major Barry Lefroy of Killaloe, County

- Clare. He died in January, leavmg Persona-l property in Iitngland valued st £27,623. He came of’ a family of soldiers, and we must suppose Ihat he had the trnditiOn of the soldier in his blood. The will pro- vides:

“Whereas I did not join the

/ Army ‘during the Great War in

f ' , do my duty and help to defend the

THE RETURN OF KINGS

, Although the formal and stately i ceremonies connected with the i King's Silver Jubilee are over, the i ’ preasion left in their wake, says Q the Montreal Gazette, is that of a 1 most effectual historic epic, answer- I able fully to the terms of the heart- ; felt ode penned by John Masefield. i the Poet Laureate, who thus voiced i the sentiment of loyalty that per- ‘it- vades the whole Empire.

be expected, since it is characteristic of the regal recipients of these pub- lic demonstrations, that Their Ma- ijesties, without any state formality

~ and on their own behalf, should choose to make a. fourfold tour throughout London to greet the people of the East End in o, fashion that, void of pomp, lacked nothing of dignity, enhancing the joy of the occasion. ‘This visit was in every way an episode worthy of the en- thuslastic reception accorded the King and Queen by the habltants o! the dockland and all the districts visited, a rousing finish to the fest- ivities winding up with the acclam- ationa of a dense crowd of »orne B50000 people in front of Bucking- ham Palace.

COMMONERS AT RIDEAU

Announcement has been made from Buckingham Palace that the King has approved the conferment of a Barony of the United Kingdom upon Mr. John Buchan, Canada's next Governor-General. A later despatch reports that liir. B chari has chosen the title of Lord Tiveeds- mulr.

A western exchange recalls that when the Marquess of borne (later the Duke of Argyll) was sp- pointed governor-general in 187B, he was linown as Sir John Doug- las Sutherland Campbell, and he gave up a seat in the House of Commons to come to Canada. Ills predecessor, the Marquess of Duf- ferin. was a. peer, but the two rep- resentatlves o1 Her Majesty before him were both commoners. Bir John Young came to Ottawa in 1869 and he did not become Baron Lisgar until the following year. Sir Charles Stanley, who held the ofllce from 1881 to 1868, was not created Baron Monck until 1867, the year of Confederation.

Pr-‘m- to confederation, the gov- ernor-general was known as gover- nor-in-chief. Beginning in 1889, the first three men to hold the omce were commoners. Charles Poulett Thomson presided over Kingston, then the calpitsl, from 1839 to i041. He was created Baron Sydeu- ham of Kent in England and Tor- onto in Canada in the latter year. His successor was Sir Charles Ba- got. a baronet but never a peer. Then came Sir Charles Metcalfe, also a baronet, who did not become Baron Metcalfe of Pbm Hill until the eve of his retirement in i845.

There followed two peers-Earl Cathcart, who held the office for less than a year in i846, and the great Earl Elgin, who was governor-

in-chlef from i847 to 1864. Then came Sir Edmund Walker Head. from 1854 to 1861, who was a bar- onet but never a peer. His successor was Baron Monck, who has already been considered.

Excluding Mr. Buchan there, have been twenty governor-generals since 1889. Of these, twelve have been peers arid eight have been com- moners. Of the eight, Sir Charles Bagot and Sir Edmund Bead were never peers. ‘rl-ie others were raised to the upper house either during or after their terms of omce.

FORMOSA

‘Perhaps the only thing a. great many persons know about Formosa u that it is a place‘ to which chi-u- tian missionaries are sent. Reading that thousands of Formosans have been killed in an. earthquake they will be interested in a few addition- al facts, which we quote from the Ottawa Journal.

Formosa-also called Taiwan by the Chinese-is an island 22s miles long and 60 to 80 miles broad, with an area of 13,500 square miles, ly- ing in the Western Pacific ocean some ninety miles from the Chin- ese coast. It has a long history, if not a particularly splendid one, and since 1895 has been owned and administered by Japan-

The island has more than three million people, the malorlty being Chinese, with some descendants of the aboriginal Malay stock and some Japanese. The climate is de- scribed as hot, damp and 111018110“!- There are some magnificent moun- tains, much splendid scenery is to be found, and the vegetation is tropical in its luxuriance.

Although the iniernatiousl skies seem to be clearer oflclouds than at any tme for some months, Brit- ain, according to cablegrams from Inndon. is not holding her hand in the matter of aerial armament. It is stated that British manufac-

TRAVEL BUREAU STORIES

Sin-It is o. painful duty to have to answer an anonymous writer behind the fictitious name of "Van Winkle," which means "No- body" and which appeared in the Patriot of April 21th ult.

He may be a clever writer in his own estimatl but from the start he has endeavored to cast adverse reflections on‘ the story “Believe It 0r Not," which has complied with all the rules of the Travel Bureau Story Contest. The good old pioneers who came here from the British Islands and other countries of Europe and settled In the midst of a ’ ‘ ’ ’ land were reliable; honest and truthful, one hundred per cent. This “Van Winkle" has made, as ha‘ thought, everything at ‘random to suit his own views which savour very much of a piqued contestant or one who is jealous of the suc- cess of the ‘Iraval Bureau Asso- ciation composed of gentlemen who are doing such a noble work to boost our- Island Province.

Let this "Doubting Thomas“ some fine day in June take off the "mask." He knows my address and can correspond.‘ Let him use his own measur its and in this section of the Island I will show him yet a few remnants of the "Forest Primeval" which are any- where froni fifteen to twenty feet in circumference at the stump and which, if hollowed out as the “giant" mentioned in the story, to a shell of three or four inches at the bottom, would have sufficient capacity to house half a dozen of “Van Winkles" provided they were not too corpulent: then I might have to drop one. The bear and her cubs are not here now; the boy is dead many years ago, but I can get a reliable old gentleman still living whose word never was doubted and who will vouch for the truth of what is contained in the story. I may also, to further convince him, .produce a‘ pine board which was manufactured in a. “Saw Pit" long before saw mills were in operation, which formed the top of a kitchen table for many years and was four feet wide by six fqt long. If "Van Winkle” will itccept this offer I know when he sees, he will believe, and then he will owe an apology tn all con- cerned in connection with the “Travel Bureau Story Contest."

Head Oflico y Ottawa, Canada ‘ . May 14th. 1935 J. J. ‘rrainor, Esq, - P. E. I. Potato Marketing Agency, Charlottetown. P. E. 1.,

Dear Mr. ‘Irairior:

I am glad that, you drew my at- tent to the article which ap-

in 011s Charlottetown Press under the date of Miay 9th being a copy of auitem which appeared in the Toronto Mail and Empire under data of May 3nd and which purports to be a report of a meet- ing of the Ontario Division of the Eastern Canada Potato Marketing Board and s ‘later interview with lno together with certain comments thereon by the well known firm of Stovel Limited.

Unfortunately I did not see the original Item In the Mall and Ern- plre until within the last few days when I have been receiving a cir- cular sent out by Stove] Limited. together with an attached clipping from the Mail and Empire.

I thereupon wrote to F. G. Per- kin, Assistant Commissioner of Markets for the Province of On- tario who acted as Secretary of the meeting referred to for a copy of the official minutes which I am now attaching.

You will note that the press rc- port is a very much-garbled sum- mall-y of the proceedings of that meeting. In the interview which I gave to the Mail and Empire re- porter following the meeting r sim- ply referred to the proceedings and pointed out that while some of the growers in the province of Onta- rio feltthat their sales had been curtailed as a. result of the opera- tions of the Eastern Canada Pota-

The Nazis In Germany are going to great lengths to justify their activities, but the latest demon- stration is a little far-fetched. A German historical film depicting the life of the Ma'd of Orleans is now running in Berlin under Nazi auspices. The picture declares that Joan of Arc is like Adolf Hitler. as she "was a leader who saved her people from despair." and her ac- tions were the result of a deep conviction that she was assigned by a higher power than her lovem- ment to lead her ‘country forward.

Q 11s W. Interim. THE “VII IS T“! GREAT ‘ FILTER .

Some years ago I wrote an article for one of the magazines entitled “The Organ That Makes You A Quitter.” I pointed‘ out the great many “jobs" the liver-the king of the organs-does for us. and that when its gets sluggish or behind in its work then even our ordinary everyday work looks too much for us

One of the big jobs the liver does for us is to clean or clear outof the blood substances which would do us harm; if the liver is sluggish or "slow" it lust doesn't do this clean- ilig or filtering quickly enough. or completely, and the body suffers thereby.
