represented. There have been misun- idcrstandfrigs and joalousies in the

old Province for some years post. ‘The leaders cf the party in some

measure and for reasons that are not liery obvious, lost the confidence of ' lhe people and, as a result, although f the Conservative policy is still strong in the minds of the people. they have failed to elect Conservative members to the Federal Parliament. ~ A: the last election the Conservative eiectors' numbered 35 per cent of the whale electorate. but succeeded in electing only four Conservative repre- seniatlrcs, ivhlle the Liberals, with 65 per cent of ‘the electorate, return- ] ed sixty members.

The people of Quebec and their political leaders are protectionist: to an extent not equalled in any other province in Canada. Yet with the di- ilsions existing heretofore their re- presentation has been largely in the Liberal column. The provincial gov- ernment, led by the Hon. Mr. Tas- chereau. has‘ more than once de- clared in favor of protection to in. dustry and agriculture. It is confid- ently expected that under c. more popular leadership and with the old little jeaiousles wiped out, there wiii be a much stronger line-up of Con- servatives in the Federal Parliament after next. eieczlon. ‘The Hon. R. B. Bennett has made himself very popu- lar in the sections of Quebec which he has visited. He is regarded as en able and honest statesman, and it will not be surprising if this fact shows i:self very distinctly in the re- turns of the next election. The Province of Quebec. with its indus- trial and‘ agricultural development, and its knowledge of the need of pro- tection alon; these lines cannot con- sisicntly remain Liberal.

rm: PATHFINDERS

With the wide world between them, two men chatted together over the radio the other night, as naturally as it they were talking across a dinner table. From the Byrd expedition camp in the far ‘Antarctic to the meterological station at Mount Ev- ans, Greenland. the winged words flew, annihilating time and space. Twelve thousand miles of continent and ocean girdled with the speed of thought! The language spoken was Danish, and the speakers, one likes to imagine, were descendants of those cid Vikings, reputed first voyagers across the Atlantic, whose sagas thrill us yet with the sense of man's indomitable spirit at grips with the blind forces of nature-those "whose trails were the first furrows. and whose lives the first harvest." Today we are reminded, in the miracles that modern science is bringing to pass, cf our debt to the pathflndcrs of eiery age and cllme, whose accumu- lated labors have brought us thus far along ‘a road of every amazing adventure, of ever broadening vistas.

"They are hushed who dared Lev- fathan

And the dragons of I-fesperie.

The frontiers of wonder are dis- solved,

The purple kingdoms of the old mirage.

Leif Erfcson sleeps. and the fire that was Columbus,

But Time has new Atlantic-s.

The stars they followed still go over.

Their voices are on the wind from the North-east.

And their flags in the sunset."

we all realise that. our ferry stee- lner must be sent away for overhaul- ing and repairs after her hard wint- ers’ work here at home. This time more extensive repairs must be made owing to the accident which happened to her early in the winter. The winter work in freight, carrying was unusually heavy owing to in- ITEISEd potato shipments and it wl-l agreeably surprising that it was per- formed so well. Also it was creditable. to Captain Read and his hard-work- ing mates and crew. ‘

How long the Prince Ildward will be of! the route is always a‘ matter of uncertainty and no one appears to know anything as to when the pro- mised second ferry will be forthcom- ing. In_ the meantime newspaper readers have been eniertaind with revived advocacy of the tunnel, and new projees for a causeway and ali- rail connection by a newroute. These were generally set down by thought- ful persons as mere excuses for de- laying action in regard to the promis- ed second ferry.

At the present time we hear noth- ing from Ottawa to indicate wheth- er there is anything decided. or do- in; in regard to getting on with the second ferry scheme. People are ask- ing, are the plans and specifications yet prepared? when will the contract be lei? How ioniiwili it take to build the million dollar vessel after the Ottawa authorities make up their minds to get on with the Job?

Our three Liberal members at Ot- tawe, who have the ear of the Gov- ernment and of Sir Henry Thom- ton. ought to be able to throw some light on the situation if they would and their own supporters want to know es well as others the cause of tho long delay and uncertainty. Ara Messrs. Sinclair, Jenkins and Mec- lean or either of them consenting parties to the delay? We certainly hope they are not, b t who knows?

A sudden drastic breakwln the price of wheat has caused alarm on‘ the prairies. All the way fronrPor-i; M. thur to the sea the elevators are full of grain, and the canals and water outlets are choked with grain laden PIESEIS Whose cargoes are yet unsold. Officials claim that the peak of the transport blockade has been reached. but it seems that the world harvests of last year has produced an over supply of food studs. Grain trader in Chicazo and western U. S. farmers aresafd to be as hard hit ls those of Winnipeg and the Canadian prairies. .

Locally in Charlottetown there m loud complaints among householder-g regarding the absurdly high prices they are obliced to pay for fresh fish, especially herring, o1 which the catch has been abundant. One is led to wonder whether the mid- dlemcns profits are not, larger than what the fisherman actually receive for their arudous toil.

0111M dQIPI-tches tell that while Canadian exports to the United States have been decreasing and must. decrease more largely when the new U. S. tariff goes into effect. Our imports from across the border are steadily growing from month to month. Last year our ‘total imports from that quarter were 8916155906 against exports of $180,920,157. But Liberal optimists in Ottawa express the hope that if our exports are this year cut down by 50 millions ‘fwe

More and more ocean steamers are finding their way to Toronto. A few days ago four arrived from Eng- land. three of them loaded with Welsh coal and Another with a cl!’- go of oil.

Some years ‘ego I compared the body of yours to a house. "

Your foundation ist he frame work of bones that carries your organs in- side and your muscles on the out- side. To be more nelrly correct of course the foundations of your body are the "kind" of n. body your parents gave you as to heart, lungl, stature. and everything else. ‘

Your foundation is the frame work the. food you eat which is the coal or fuel.

These various processes going on insfdeyou, particularly the work of the huge muscles which cover the body. manufacture heat, and the warm blood coursing throughout the bodycarrles heat to all parts. This 1e iikie hot water heating.

The ashes are the wastes from the body which are thrown out by the kidneys, intestine, skin and lungs.

Your“ mouth u like the vestibule of thehouse. Just u you can admit ony- body to your house from the vesti- bule’ when you are satisfied that it is all right to admit him, so also can you do yourgown chobsln, of the food or liquid that enters your mouth.

In your mouth also‘ is the saliva that prepares the food to enter the stomach or house proper.

Now your stomach is like the kit- chen of the house. In the iritehen All the food you eat ll prepared. There f: the cutting up, grating. peeling, baking, boiling, and roasting, before it is brought to the dining room. And so your food is prepared in the stomach for the digestive processes.

From the kitchen or stomach the food goes to the dining room, or small intestine. r

Your small intestine calls to its aid c. couple of juices that. throw them- selves upon the food immediately ft leaves the stomach. These juices make m immediate change in the foodJnd this ehlnge errniee the blood to drew the materials out of the food, that it needs for building the body.

The ventilation of the body is the lungs, and it i! like a perfect type of ventilation because the lungs draw in oxygen with respiration, and throw out. waste, carbon dioxide, with each expiration.

The library in the house is ' the brain. Your brain stows away know- ledge that you can use at any time. just as you consult your library for time to time.

The storeroom of the house is where you keep an extra supply of things. That body of yours can store up thing's also. Your lungs carry an extra hundred cubic inches of air for em- ergencies; your liver stores sugar; your gall bladder a little extra bile; your muscles surplus power so that they can work even without air for e short time.

The bedroom of your body is the hours of rest you give it.

While the man talked I studied me dog, standing there with hang- ing head. muzzled and ' “ I-Iis eyes were keen, his chest wide and his hcunches rippling with muscles. And I made UP my mind. “N0," I said, "I won't kill him."

When I fed the gang, he'd rear up and make a racket as ff he'd tear me to pieces if I'd give him a chance. I guess my own dogs wondered how the newcomer got away with such behavior.

Jack now began to Jump up and down like a crazy creature. The minute he was hitched he wanted to like charge and be off. If he didn't like the way things went he‘d attack the driver or start a fight among the whole team, On purpose I didn't have s, whip fir. my hand. I spoke to Jack. I went around to the other dogs and adjust- ed their harness. “Shut up!" I called to him as he 30f, more and more excited.
