“Farmer_s' organizations, municipalities and

World grain reserves, l\lr. BENNETT said, were the lowest in nine years; prospective world reserves moderate, and, due to drought, a small crop was indicated in the VVest.

-- "Lower wheat prices in recent years have . been‘ attributed to excessive production," he ';§said, “That reason. .has been removed by the ::reduction of world production which is not at ifprescnt a menace to the price structure.”

It is partly due to the drought, and partly to the potato ‘policy of the admlnisratlon.

‘I'll! HIGIIWAY TRAFFIC MINAGI

S1r.—'I'here is a. most serious con- dition existing in this Province to- dny. one which is a deadly men- ace. every few ween taking lts toll of human life and growing stead- tly worse. It is the Highway traffic menace. It has been referred to many times by our Judges and Grand Jurlm. and a few days ago , the Grand Jury in King's County again brought it to the notlcc of ' the public. scarcely a day passe; now with- out several motor traffic accidents. Nearly all are due to carelessness and too often they are caused by drunken drivers. 50 that today Prince Edward Island is listed as having more motor traffic accidents per captta than any Province in Canada.

This is a most. unenvlatble repu- tation-—lt is a black mark against the Pmvlnce——lt. la a. damaging in- flueruxa to the tourist business, and a disgrace to the administration of Justice.

Surely this deplorable condition must challenge the most. serious consideration of our people and their servant, the Provincial Gov- ernment.

This condition of affairs will grow wore. week by week unless stringent measuras are adopted. 50 long as motor vehldes are allowed to travel at absolutely dangerous

emment, and Sir ROBERT BORDEN and he crossed ly reprimanded a court reporter for speed without lights, or perhaps

one and it: defective, little or no rear light. 99 per cent of drivers never dimming their Lights at night, and with defective or no brakes, un-

The man who is held responsible for the admlrilstrotlon of law and justice is the Attorneyoeneml. What does he think of the present status of motor traffic? Is he tak- ing any special precautions in the matter? 15 he doing his full duty when he goes into court and changes information before maglsti-arm In order that those guilty of severe penalties under the Highway Trul- flc and other laws may escape?

It. is high time that someone, and. indeed. everyone said: Mr. M.- tomey-General Campbell, do your duty.

They were husband. and wife, young things on their usual Saturday night out together: two klddlea aged 8 and 2 at home with at girl engaged for the evening to look after them. Came to mind the story the retir- ed colonel had recounted to me earlier in the day. lie was in charge of a party of men and dogs In the Northland one winter “Just before freeze-up." The whole encampment wnslstlng of the police patrol, the Indians and the Colonel's party and including the missions ,1 had to move several hundred miles before winter would close them in.

Each party had its own equip- ment. of boats. slerl.s,,doas. tents. harness, atc., etc. Before breaking camp. however. it was necessary that a supply of fish be secured for men and dogs to enable them to safely embark on their journey; as well as to winter comfortably at their base quarters. All activities of mpplnc. surveylflk and mapplns were suspended in good time to en- able the men to lay in the needed supply.

Day after day the boots went out only to return without. any fish. The time was growing short. and soon the camp was in a condition of anxiety and tension. “I'1nally" The colonel went on, "Holy Joe" as Ituedtocallhlmaathatwntha nearest English sound that I could get for his name. and while I am at ft. let. me explain that Holy Joe was the Indian Medicine Man, although that is the name given by the white people.
