A GREAT OPPORTUNITY The keen competition, particularly in the sow classes, at the swine show and sale held by the Prince Edward Island Swine Breed- ers Association yesterday is‘ a mat- ter of great interest and importance at the present tune. This annual event, the seventh of its kind to be held here, is regarded as the cli- max of all the promotion and breed- annual ing activities relative to the swine industry of the Province. So suc- cessful has it been in recent years, that. New Brunswick inaugurated a similar show and sale last year, and tna year Nova Scotia has followed suit. The special significance of this year's show nd sale lies in the unprecedented opportunities which Island producers now have for mar- keting their producus. Canada now enioyl a bacon quota of 2,500,000 cvrt. in the British market, afford- ing practically unlimited opportun- ity under tr "e agreements negotiated last year at Ottawa. This mark/it furnishes an assured outlct for all the surplus bacon our Canadian farmers can produce. rive preferential 1n the meantime, the Maritime Provinces produce only 15 per cent of the pork products consumed in these provinces. Ir. this Province we actually produce a surplus over our own consumpiion requirements, but there is still B5 per cent of the Maritime market being supplied by other provinces. Packers prefer the Island product to Western import- ations, but have no choice in the matter when the Maritime supply is 0118171113“ 0! , l lo limited. Island farmers who go in for swine ‘breeding at the present time are therefore making no mistake. It is safe to predict that within six or eight months there will, ‘owing to scarcity of supply, be a material ad- vance in prices. It was the concen- sus of the opinion of officials and packers at. yesterday's exhibition that young pigs will he in keen de- mand by the spring of i934. This is the opinion generally entertained, and it is safe to predict that within nix or eight months there will be a material advance in prices. Speaking recently at the annual meeting of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Clinton Hender- son, President of the Canadian Pro- duce Association, emphasized the present as the logical time “in which to start in and stay in the business of pig production in view of the preferences given to Canadian pro- duce in the British market." Tak- ing the general view, he found that prices were slowly rising and that the future looked brighter now than it did a year ago. Other equally authoritative statements could be quoted to the same effect. In this connection Mr. Henderson suggested the advisability of establishing a farm marketing board, the chief purpose of which would be to in- sure that surplus products earmark- ed for export would not bc used to depress domestic prices. The important factor so far as the British bacon market is concerned, is standard quality and continuity of supply. Reorganization and de- velopment of our export bacon in- dustry is required, in keeping with the reorganization and development which we now sec in progress in the British bacon industry. Under the British scheme British farmers are now signing contracts with the fac- tories to cover the period from No- vember to February. 1t is part of the lcheme to calculate the cost of the pigs’ rations at the rate of 7s. 6d. per cwt., and on this basis the high- est prloc to ba paid for bacon pigs in to be 13s. a score. The flaraniced price is to vary with the price 9f food- stuffs, and will mcrease 3d. a score for every rise of 3d. a cwt. in the price of the standard ration as de- fermlncd by the Ministry of Agricul- ture. If the prices of feeding stuffs fall, it will be similarly reduced. Moreover, at the start it 1s unlikely that a large proportion of the pigs iupplied will qualify for the full deed, only be earned by one pig out of four. For the information of Canadalan producers, the Canadian Gazette and Export Trader quotes the com- ment of that good authority, the agricultural correspondent of the London "Times." He speaks of “this serious endeavour to provide the consumer with an increased supply of English bacon of first-class qual- ity," and adds: “The provisions of the marketing scheme place a prem- ium on the lean type of pig, and, given more suitable material, it will be the responsibility of the bacon curera to produce the class of bacon which suits the popular taste. Until now the home industry has not been organized to meet competition from abroad, but this marketing scheme. backed by an import quota, should bring and keep British baron well to the fore." From the foregoing it will be seen how essential a standard quality has become for Canadian export producers if they are to take full ad- vantage of the British quota. In the meantime, as already stated, there is a large Maritime market right at our door, where the Prince Edward Island product ls favourably known, and where the demand, 1n view of increasing shipments being made to the Old Country, is bound to be en- hanced. THE RIGHT NOTE Germany's withdrawal from the World Disarmament Conference has elicited from m. Arthur Henderson, the Conference, a statement, which is in striking con- trast to the belligerant speech of Chancellor Hitler on Saturday, and which eloquently sums up the hopes and aspirations of those na- tions which, like the British» Com- monwealth, have sincerely endeav- ored to co-operatc in efforts for world peace and disarmament. “It cost ten million dead and twenty million wounded to bring the lbeague into be-l-DZ." Mr. Henderson said.“We will not break faith with the dead who fell that there should be no H1076 WEI‘. ‘The flower of one generation was slain in me last World War. It is the duty of us who survived to give the world peace in our time. We must not hesitate to incurrlsks or make whatever sacrifices may be necessary to ensure final triumph and the reign of law aver the inter- national anarchy that breeds w-ar.“ 'Thia is the voice of sanity. It cannot fail to evoke reflpfmsc even in Germany. The German people an passing through a period of na- tional hysteria, and tact as well as firmness is required on the part; of “ icsmen of other countries in handling the situation, The British attitude, as voiced by Mr. Hender- son. may have far-reaching effect, especially as it is in accord with the policy consistently adopted by Britain of scaling down armam its to the minimum of safety and cm- dmq.

The greatest impediment to the progress of Canada at the present time is the prevalence of strife. Disunion will wreck the best ef- forts of men, yet there is now an attempt to rend the Dominion by strife of groups without the slight- est consideration for the general welfare of the people. The worst of it is that the people support done by individuals residing in such groups and block their own cabins, who were so busily engaged at nights, taking in the sights around the dance halls, Unemployed men, says the neighbour's woodpile looked like a Toronto Telegram, do not aid friend indeed to them, when going themselves by pointing a gun at the home in the small progress-Regina Star. heads of taxpayers and presenting unreasonable demands. Nor are they wise in becoming dupes for agitators who praie about free speech. The ambition of these agi- tators Ls not the betterment of con. dltions for the public but the crea- tion of a condition of unrest which will benefit themselves. Unrestrict- ed free speech, whereby Commun- ist agents may have the opportun- ity of provoking~ riots and disturb- ances, would do nothing to over- come the depression. Western Canada, with its large yield of farm products, and its pos- sibilities of vastly greater produc- tion, should not be discouraged about its future.

A res- toration of good times would irn- medla ly see improved demand for farm Products. And there are no great. new lands similar to Western Canada, Argentina and Australia, still to be opened for agricultural development. While any suggestion of reduc- tion is bound w meet with some strenuous opposition on the part of a section of the United States elected representative and their followers, them are increasing num- bers of members of Congress and of the Senate, as well as outstand- ing citizens, who recognize the de- terrent influence of international debts upon world recovery. They consider the matter largely from the standpoint of its effect upon United States industry and trade, yet most of them appreciate the fact that international commerce has much to do with the well-being of their country and its people. All the wu- talk in Europe centres lwnd one possibility alone, that Gennany, attempting some desper- ate throw which only madman would ‘* ‘, because success in its prosecution is inconceivable, may break the peace and plunge the Continent in war.

I-Ie had one eye on me, and I. had both on him. ready for his next ' move, and I Wm not a bit disap-l pointed when he proceeded on up the creek, Shortly after 1 heard a couple of shots, which meant his finish, I guess. I reached Dawson without further mishap, and after storing my stuff. in the cabin, Itook a run over mi the Maltbyks. At that‘ time there‘ was quite a. lot of wood pilfering that a hours of the morning, especially when they hadtft a stick in the house them- selves. One ingenious individual‘ that had suffered loss at. their. hands several times, took a bracel and bit, and bored a. hole in a stick, filling it with blasting pow- der. A neighbors stove mysteriously blew up a short time after. That ended them‘ taking wood from his pile. The Mounted Police had enough 0n their hands without these petty Dilfeflflg cases, and in consequence, it in the charge of Capt. Jack Crawford, a former Texas scout, to keep his eye on, and to do so, he had the wood plied across the street from his store on a vacant lot, the Maltbys having some wood located there. Charlie asked me if I would mind going to the cap- tain's and getting an armful, I said alright, when up spoke Jack, “Hold on," he said, “and I will go with you." So we proceeded up to where the wood was, and were picking up an armful each, and turning to go with it, when we heard “I-Ialt." Maltby said, "Don't move." Then he said, “It's all right, Captain, its Maltby." I was glad as it was he was along, because a false move on one's part might be fatal. he being a dead shot. Single men residing in cabins around Dawson in the winter would many of them. take a Yukon sled, and an axe, and go up the Klondike river a. ways and gather a load every so often for cabin wood. The Slavin and Boyle concession had notices posted warning people not to take wood ofl the concession. Despite this a couple of individuals loaded up a sled with some wood off it, and Paddy Slavln undertook to take the law in his own hands and enforce it, they took a stake iapiece and nearly beat the head of‘! him, after that he let the law look after it.

ALD. .PUTTI.‘IG MIND AND BODY INTO REDUCING WEIGHT A patient consulted her physician about reducing her weight. She knew she’ was twenty-five pounds overweight and was determined to Bet rid of this surplus. When informed Lila!- her heart was normal and that it would be safe for her to reduce 5 to 6 pounds each month, she said, "1 know that , this extra weight has spoiled my iflgure, and I feel embarrassed all i the time 1 am with people, whether Ioutdoors or indoors.

Two lntlividuais that owned a claim on Eldorado got Anderson drunk, and however they worked it, traded claims with him, Anderson kicked up an awful fuss, and tried without success; so the only thing he could do was prospect, the El- dorado one.

But Dame Fortune, though favoring him with luck in this case, added a rider, in the shape of a. gold digger, who in- veigled him to invest his money in real estate on the coast, and of course it ended up by she having the real estate and money, and he having the experience. and at. last account he was enjoying the ex- perience, by working for wages in a saw mill.
