THE GEORGETOWN FAIR ___

1t is encouraging to note that the high standard of quality in cattle gnd agricultural exhibits, which’ was noticeable at the Provincial Exhibition this year. was e150 We" maintained at the King's County Exhibition held successfully at Georgetown on Wednesday.

Interest in the fair was evident from the large attendance, despite the wet weather, and the fact that over two hundred entries in excess of last year were received by the Association speaks for itself.

Special mention was made at the, opening, both by His Honour the Lieutenant Governor and by the Premier, of the domestic science \nd handiwork display. For the progress made in these depart- nents, both in King's County and throughout the Province, much credit is due to the Women's In-i ltitutes, Year after year, the work lccomplished by this admirable or- gariization is leaving a deeper im- press upon community life. The re- vival of handicraft in the home ‘is but one phase of its activities, but a most important one.

Encouraging also was the state- ment at the exhibition opening by Mr. Boultcr, secretary of the Po- tato Growers‘ Association, that bet- ter prices for potatoes might be expected in the Spring. There are, of course, factors entering into the market situation which make it im- possible to predict a price increase with any certainty; but in any event, with a superior quality pro- duct and greatly improved trans- portation facilities, our have no reason to be unduly pessi- mlstic- That was the gist of Mr. Boulter's statement, and we be- lieve it to be the informed opinion of many who are in close touch

" with the situation and who strongly advocate that no attempt should be made to inundaie the market this fall.

THE KING'S EXAMPLE

Qnce again His Majesty the King has set an example to the British y nation. He has announced his de- sire for a reduction of £50,000 Kabout $250,000) in the annual in- come paid by the British Govern- ment to the Crown. Following His Majesty's example, the Prince of Wales has informed the Prime Min- ister that he intends to contribute $50,000 in the national funds. The voluntary reductions are to con- tinue for the duration of the pres- ent period of ﬁnancial stress.

His Majesty's action at this time, as pointed out in a Canadian Press despatch, is more than a mere ges- ture. $250,000 represents more than 10 per cent of the Royal income, and that income was ﬁxed in 1910 when monetary values were much higher than they are today. More- over, in the dark clays of 1916 the King placed $500,000 at the dispos- al of the treasury, and when prices soared after the war he declined to accept the Government's suggestion to increase accordingly the civil list from which the Crown income is derived. He preferred to prune every possible expenditure and meet the remainder of the deﬁcit by realizing $500,000 from the capi- tal of the Duchy of Lancaster.

Hts Majesty's lead at the present moment, adds the Canadian Press representative, provides a two-fold inspiration of, first, setting an ex- ample to the social and industrial leaders of the country, and second since the King hlfnself is above party politics, of emphasizing that the present emergency demands a response transcending partisan quibbles-

Commenting on the incident, the London Morning Post says truly that "it was the King who brought the ministers and the Opposition to face together what he called a grave ﬁnancial situation, and he is

u-ay to others that he will not take himself."

conscientiously discharging the duties of his exalted position day in and day out, unostentatiously step- ping to the front whenever emer- gency calls for leadership, His Maj- esty has endeared himself to his subjects as few monarchs have

done in any country. A tower of strength to the nation/during the

war, he has shown that patriotism is equally necessary in time of peace, and has done so not by speechmaklng but by personal sac- rifices which cannot fall to en- hance the heartfelt affection in which the Royal Family is held by every section of the Empire.

TO BAN GANG REELS

A resolution recently adopted by motion picture theatre owners in the United States may have far- reaching effects if it is lndorsed by the state authorities and be- comes a law of the land. The re- solution reads:

"The American public has ex- pressed a decided disapproval of gangster pictures and indecent pictures. We, as American citiz- ens and fathers of families are in sympathy with this nation. wide protest against these types 0f Dictures as a menace to our youth and to our business." There are already state laws

against the exhibition of indecent pictures, but the gangster picture has come more and more to the front in the past few years. These pictures are thrilling. 1t is diffi- cult, even for grown-ups, to resist their lllfe- They are more realistic than the old-time dime novel, and more dangerous for that reason to the younger generation, to whom familiarity on the screen with the deeds of gunmen, hijackers and racketcers-who are usually repre- sented as dominating the law-abid- ing element of the community- cannot fall to do harm. Even where B "WW1 l5 $688601 to the end of the Picture, and the law breakers are captured or otherwise come to grief, the scenes depicted are bru. tal and unedifylng, and could be dispensed with in the interests both of the public and the picture industry.

FOR PEACE, YES!

The fact that the Canadian Le- gion has gone on record in favor of world peace is being comment- led upon in the press asasignificant indication of the trend of public sentiment. The fact is overlooked that the Legion has always stood 5°!‘ Dflace. The strongest and most intelligent Opponents of war have invariably been the men who have fought and suffered in warfare. It was to end war that our returned men enlisted and went overseas. Thus the Legion members are per. fectly consistent in sponsoring world peace and arbitration-but they are no nearer in sentiment than they ever were to those paci- ﬂits W110 refused to fight when "Kllting was necessary.

EDITORIAL NOTES

Politics take queer tunls. An ex- change points out that the National Government in Britain is headed by Laborites, repudiated by the Labor Party and backed solidly by Liberals and Conservatives.

"The two Maritime tovms which have registered the greatest growth of population lfl the past 1o years," notes the Syilney Post, "are Char- lottetown and Summerslde, Prince Edward Island, which have increas- ed more than 20 per cent. Char- lottetown! population has risen from 10,814 in 1921 to 12,357 in 193i. and that of Summerside from 3,228 to 3914. It is a singular cir- cumstance that in the most exclus- ively agricultural Province, the ur- ban Wbulntlon has shown most ex-

NBTES. BY TIIE WAY

Going duvm the list of that. com- pleted British cabinet one is struck by trig fact that it has no:- abla "- ‘ says an Ottawa ex- change. Where, for instance, is the redoubtable Mr. Churchill, the aggressive Mr. Amery, the experim- ced coalitionist, Mr. Lloyd George? Mr. Lloyd George's absence may be explained: he is ill. But no elf- planation ls given for the absence of Churchill, none for the omission of Amery. Able,-experienced, fight- ing captains of COHSBFVBMSHI. the" names are not even mentioned. T0 those who follow British 110M108. the omission seems ominous. Mr. Churchill's talent for making trouble is all too likely to make trouble, while Amery's fond- ness for office is all too well kIlOWH. It will be highly interesting to note how these two intrepid 801010019" behave when Parliament meets next week.

it is interesting to learn that ll" Jewish population in Palestine, ac- cording to an official estimate, has nearly doubled its numbers durlnB the last nine years. Out of a. total population of about 800,000 the Jewish Agency estimates that the number of Jews in Palestine todly has reached 175,000. There is a very high Jewish birthrate of 33 a th0l15- and,-and the death-rate is very low owing to the care that the Jews take of their children. There is a chain of infant welfare and moth- ercraft centres in Palestine, and there are good hospitals. These l0- stitutlons, it is pleasing to note, are at the service of all races, so that an Arab can get attention equally with a Jew. Last. year the number of Jews migrating into Palestine was nearly 5,003; about half 0f them came from Poland, 400,from Russia, 300 from Rumania, and 300 from Amerlca.—Ex.

Exports of Canadian ' cattle to Great Britain from January 1 to August 31 amounted to 200 per cent of the total for the whole 0! 1930. ‘The Canadian cattle trade, like the Canadian dairy industry. is forging ahead and is helping t0 dispel the depression. Despite 10W price levels, the farmer's markets have been greatly enlarged in the past year.

Leaders of the Soviet Russia announce that while the first five- year plan period was devoted t0 industrialization the second five- year plan will .be devoted to cul- tural and social improvements. The heroic Russian attempt to rebuild the world would be laud- able were it not pathetic. And the present attempt to create a synth- etic culture for the Russian people in five years ls even more fanciful than the attempt to create a new economic system in the same length of time. culture, as the Sydney Post points out, is the fruition of a. races aesthetic 0X- perience. It is the sum total of a people's yearning towards the spiritual. It is a natural and in- born spurnlng of all that is vulgar. all that is inferior and all that 15 unfit. Science makes life longer. Education makes life broader. Cui- ture makes life ileeper. Can that latter miracle be accomplished by the written will of Joseph Stalin and the bewildered acquiescence of his subject millions.

The British Empire Service LOH- gue in session at Toronto, have a.- dopted a resolution urging the Government of Great Britain to check the dumping of Russian food-stuffs and raw materials in the United Kingdom, “in the inter- ests of the Dominions, and the progress, prosperity, stability and security of the Empire." The vet- erans are not deceived by the all- tlcs of “the bear that walks like ﬂ man." Bolshevism may appeal to Communists and other varieties of red statesmen, but not to the de- fenders of civilization, whom it de- serted when the war was at its most critical stage.

It has fallen tothefirutSoclalist Prime Minister to deliver a fatal blow at “Socialism in our time"- probably in any time. All the clever fools who follow Muxton and Ber- nard Shaw will rcvlie him and never forgive him. But if he sticks to his plain duty the vast majority of his fellow-citizens will hold up his hands, and he will have a. good mark in history.

Of the men and women who thirty years ago created the Irish Literary renaissance some are deld, some no longer live among us. and the rest must in the course of nat- ure be approaching the end of their labours. 1' do not see-though this may be the prejudice of age-who there is to replace them. At the beginning of the century there were at least a dozen Irish-bom men and women under forty years cf age who had already achieved something like European reputa- tion.

cause or monAms-oul SIDED namacna _

Many people are interested the‘ experiment in a western ‘Uni unity where a determined effortwis being made to try and ﬁnd out the cause of migraine that distressing one sided headache which afflicts ' i great number of people. "

It has always been my thought that hard mental work or emotional disturbance so upsets the brain that it falls to send impulses m the digestive tract to keep thihgamow, ing; the liver gets ongected," m; bile in the gall bladder thickens and doesn't flow freely, and thntithis combination of mental fatigue and sluggish liver caused the symptom.

Dr. R. S. Ahrens believes that the cause of migraine lies essentlallyln the emotional life of the lndividusl which in tum affects the stomach. He reminds us that attention has always been directed toward‘ the stomach as the cause of sick head- aches and rightly so; however tlie cause does not lie in faulty organs, but in the faulty use of normal organs.

And as we think about it, we real- ize that sufferers from migraine do not suffer from it all the time, but have periods, sometimes long per- iods, during which they are lb-v solutcly free from any digestive diz- iurbance. If anything were wrong with the stomach or intestine there would be trouble practically all the time. ‘ '

Dr. Nell C. Stevens of Cornell Clinic believes that the tendency to migraine is inherited and that its cause will be found to be a. dis- iurbance in the endocrine or duct- less glands of the body. As the ﬁrst attacks of migraine usually come on when the girl is developing-into a. woman, and the boy into a man, this looks reasonable enough. The fact that they do not always start at this time must however be rem- ellibered.

In the meantime while research workers are endeavorlng to locate the cause of migraine, sufferers should try and avoid attacks by not overdoing themselves mentally or emotionally, not eating when tired, trying to get periods of relaxation every day and keep the intestines active by exercise, or if necessary by mild laxatives.

Lying on the right side for not less than ﬁfteen minutes before lunch, and before the evening meal, has provenhelpful. The body not only gets rested, but any food lying in the stomach from previous meal gets emptied into the small intes- tine leaving stomach ready for the next meal.

Life Insurance In Canada

Sales of new paid-for ordinary life insurance in Canada and New- foundland for the first seven months of this year exceeded $300,- 000,000. Figures issued recently by the I/lfe Insurance Sales Research Bureau show total sales for July ‘of $39,077,000, a. result regarded as being favorable when wntrahted with corresponding results in other branches of finance and commerce. July sales by provinces’ based on returns from fifteen companies having in force eighty per cent. of the business done in the Domin- ion, were as follows: Alberta, $1,-

000; . Manitoba, $2,701,000; New Brunswick, $948,000; Nova Scotia, $1,382,000; Ontario, 817,739,000: Prince Edward Island $191,000, Que bee. $10,517,000; Saskatchewan, $1,- 910,000 and Newfoundbhd; $374,- 000.

The World's Greatest Lobster Fishing

Two oi- time‘ generations use "w lobster, then found in great abund- ance all along the shore of, the Maritime Pl-ovinca, was regarded as ofllttlq value. And perhaps "W renllzg that the world's greatest lobster fishery is here and that it is one of the moat valuable of Canada's fisheries. The lobster is shipped in the shell, sometimes a- live where the market is available, but the canning industry takes cars of the greater part of the product. lobsters are also caught off New" foundland, in some of the Atlantic waters of the United States, and in certain European areas but, as Dr. D. K. 'I‘ressler, a United States authority, has pointed out, "the seals of the business is very much greater in Canada than anywhere else in the world." Last year the

Dominion lobster fishery yielded a

catch of over 40,726,000 pounds and‘ ,

was second only to tho salmon fishery in point of market return— $5,215,000. Nova Scotia is the larg-‘ est producer of lobsters, and ac‘ counted for approximately 20,820,000 pounds of the Dominion's 1930 catch In New Brunswick the year's catch‘ was slightly more than 9,000,000‘ pounds while the Prince Edward‘ Island and Quebec landings Aa- mounted to about 8,100,000 cunds and 2,768,070 pounds, respec ivcly.

A bulletin froln the Fisheries Dc- partment at Ottawa says: The 1r‘;- ster found ln North American xvii:- ers is known scientifically ns 11am arus amerlcanus, as distinguishes from Homarus grammariis, ii European brother. Normally, ilflilli lobsters are dark green in Cfllill‘ when taken from the sea but who" they are boiled the shell colour-m is transformed into red. "The r bottom is the natural‘ abode of t‘ adult lobster, the source of its fo. f‘ ‘and the scene of all its activities It never forsakes the water 0' leaves the bottom of its own ii:- cord. Lobsters wander close to the ~ shore and out to depths of ore: 100 fliihoms in search of prel’. lil traveling over the bottom the lob- ster walks nimbly upon the tip". oi It: slender legs; but when trail",- fcrrcd from sea to land it can only crawl in vain attempts to walk. . In the water the lobster 1s agil? wary, pugnaclous, capabfe of d:- fendlng itself against its chem“... and sometimes moves at a high rate of speed. . . . The lobster is essentially a creature of noelurnll activity; it is generally far more active at night than by day - - - ‘ Lobsters livc chiefly on fish, alive or dead, and on the invertebrates which inhabit the bottom andl come within their reach. They catch many small live fish and B few of the more sluggish large fish. Adult as well as larval ldcsters are cannibalistic." Lobsters are caught in "traps" or "pots" which the fisherman set 0n the sea bottom at suitable spots. Briefly described, the trap or pot, several feet long, is a device made of laths, with coarse netting at the ends. A funnel-shape opening in the netting, narrowing inward, of- fera a means of entry for the lob- ster when it is attracted by bait placed within the trap. When the trap is pulled up by the flsheman the captured lobsters are removed through a small door. A great part of the Canadian catch is put up in the canned 10ml but of late years there has been increasing growth in the trade of live lobsters. In 1930, for instance, the shipments of live lobsters a- mounted to more than 12,500,000 pounds as compared with a. little more than 11,000,030 pounds in 19- 29, slightly less than 911000.000 pounds in 1928 and about 8,690,000 pounds in 1927. Most of the trade in the United States and last yell!‘ these export shipments were over 9,000,000 pounds.

The output of canned lobsters from tbs 333' lobster canneries in operation last year was 130,109
