The fairs will be conducted in groups to accommodate adjacent and pa!" ticipating districts and along the sums lines as in previous years. The schedule of places and duties appears elsewhere in this issue. The importance oi these fairs to an agricultural province like ours cannot be overestimated. They arc not only educational along ag», ricultural ‘lines, but, what is of even greater importance in this country today, they impress upon our young pfiople the importance. the dignity and the practi ul en joyabieness of farming and stock- raising; they diroot the attention of our youn-g people farm and cultivate in them a love hi! of

Notes By The Way

The third of the present aria 0i five bycsicctions for the House oi Commons will ‘take place in Northumberland, N.-B., on October 7th, about a fllflllilh hence. it will be contested by candidates repre- senting the Government and the Opposition, both oi whom have been already nominated with much apparent unanimity by conventions of their respective panties. it is so far satisfactory to learn that there is not likely to be any third candidate put in the field _to com- pllcatedhe situation. As in the contests in Quebec "province on Tuesday last, the Liberal candidate will have ihc decided advantage of the ba-rkiug of both the federal and provincial Governments.

Premier King In a statement lulu-ed on Wednesday last, afitcr exulting over the rather barren result of the contests in Montreal und Rimouski, goes on tosay: "We may look for like triumphs in the forthcoming byeelections in New Brunswick and British Coium. bla." The Liberal Prc-mierof New Brunswick, Hon. Mr. Veuiot, after also expressing his pleasure anent fthe “federal victories" in Quebec, adds that the Opposition mu-st now “take their medicine." lie said also that there was no doubt that Norlhumberlard will go the same way and that hi; expects to visit that county and is ready to lake the stump "If the party is so de- sirable." Thus strong is the cou- fldcnco of Frontiers King and Ve- niot in the potency of the modi- cine they hope to atlministct" to the people of the Mirnmichi valley within the next few wocks.

There is a prospect of a some- what lively campaign. Hon. Mr. Meighen has already visited the county along with Hon. Dr. Baxter of St. John, attending the Conserv- ative convention. and may return. Premier King has promised to come and speak and will probably be accompanied by several oi his ministerial colleagues, all confident oi victory. The late Liberal mem- her. tl-lon. John Morrisscy, had n majority of 1,423 at the general election oi 1921. Thut affords some ground for ‘Liboral hopes thatthey may hold the scat, if only by a ma- jority greatly reduced, as wa the case in St. Antoine and Rim- ouski.
