AUGUST 21, 1033- m.»- :4 coon AUGURY. .7 To our farmers there was music 1n the patter of the rain on Satur- day and Sunday, as satisfying as a. lymphuny, It rejuvenated the parched crops and assisted greatly in fighting the fires which already have destroyed many acres of valu- able wood lands, especially in Prince County. It. was also a reassuring nugury to the management of the Provincial Exhibition, as the pros- pects now are for a few days of sunshine-just enough, it is hoped, to enable the Exhibition to be the success this year it deserves to be. The formal opening of the Ex- hibition is set for tonight at 7.30 in the Paton pavillion at the fair grounds. Thcre will be addresses by Mr. James Paton, president of the Exhibition Association, Hon. Dr. W. J. P. nfacvlillan, Acting Premier, His Worship Mayor Stewart, Hon. Thomas .\lacNutt, Minister of Agri- culture snd by representatives from Prince and King's Counties. Ar- rangements have also been made for a fine musical programme. It is hoped the attendance will be large and that every success will crown the events scheduled for the subse- quent days. Details of the Exhibi- tion attractions have appeared al- nqst daily in the press, and it is unnecessary to refer to these except to say that taken in conjunction with the entry lists in the various livestock and agricultural classes they represent one of the most ambitious programmes ever at- tempted at c. provincial fair in this Province. 1- " TWO VIEWPOINTS Economists used to ask: "Who will pay the bills of Socialsan?" The New York Times, recalling this, inquired the other day about the payment of the bills of Mr. Roose- velt's National Recovery Act. Supplying its own answer. the Times pointed out that Mr. Roosevelt has from the first been it. There was‘ bandid admission that the price oi’ bread would be increased through subsidies given the growers of wheat. Nor was there any attempt to conceal the effect of the pro- cessing tax on cotton. It, was bound to raise the price o5 cotton. The Government, in fact, hod pointed but specifically that prices of all lrtlcles would necessarily be high- ‘rr; that this was really an essen- llal part of the recovery campaign. In other words, the consumer would pay. This, says the N. Y. Times, is the old story. The consumers are the real "forgotten men": the people who, in the long run, are called upon to shell out for all of those , grandiose and costly schemes to beckon the lvfillonnlurn. Another side of the question, how- ever, is emphasized in the August Newsletter of the Royal Bank of Canada. caricature the economist who wish- es for a higher price level claim that it docs not matter whether the farmer receives one dollar or fifty tents for his wheat, provided that \he price the farmer pavr. for goods l; proportionately higher in the first instance than in the second. It may be well to consider the posi- lion of the farmer in particular lince what is true of the effect of the price level on the former is al- l0 true of the manufacturer, the miner and the distributor. To that particular farmer whose annual in- lerest payments and tuxcs amount ‘l0 six hundred dollars. it makes an immense difference whether his sur- plus over direct operating costs and living expenses amounts to five hundred or o thousand dollars s year." So, too, higher prices allow the manufacturer to operate at a profit because fixed charges absorb a smaller proportion of his income. Manufacturing with a greater as- nuranoe of profits, he therefore manufactures the more. More help is taken on, sud thus the vicious We quote: "Those who ' THE CHARLOTTETOWN GUARDIAN Notes By The Way In replying to o question 11M 1° him 118811111113 an alleged but quite imaginary attack nude by l. dis- orderly mob of armed Indians on the British residents in Lvscknow.

MORE BRITISH SHIPS The Canadian assistant trade commissioner in Glasgow reports a continued upward tendency in Bri- tish shipbuilding. Lloyd's Register of Shipping ‘points out that n. year ago British shipbuilders hsd under construction only 25.3 per cent of the world's merchant shipping; the percentage is now 39.2. Over 42 pcr cent. of all the new shipyard wonk commenced during the past quarter was started in British yards. In Great Britain and Ireland there is an increase of 35,101 tons in the work in hand as compared with the low figures of the previous quarter. The present totsl—267,502 tons-is 6,810 tons in excess of the tonnage being built at the end of June, 1932. Allowing for the tonnage on which work is sizspended 040,000 tons, in- eluding the 73,000-ton Cunarder), British shipyards have over 147,033 tons gross in process of construction, which is much greater than the total for any other country.

In! i fact many surgeons favor operation ;'even when heart symptoms are i mild. wan is this operation? The operation consists in the re- moval of a large part, but not all, of the thyroid gland in the neck. In former times this operation was considered so dangerous that pat- ients travelled hundreds and often thousands of miles to have it per- formed by some renowned surgeon. Today, in practically every hospital surgeons are performing this oper- ation with splendid results and with a very 10w death rate. Thus Dr. J. de J. Pemberton in Journal of Surgery and Obstetrics reports a. death rate of less than l per cent. What about the results obtained by operation. Statistics from Kochefs clinic in Vienna and Mayds clinic, Roch- ester, Minn., give 86 per cent of satisfactory results after operation in serious cases of the severe type of goitro.» The thought there is that where rest and other forms of treatment a mass of infant leaves rolled to- gether. And anyone who will take the trouble to open a. chestnut bud will find the leaf-tresure folded up for the season ahead. Or, 11 the pink-tipped bud of s. wild rose be examined it will- be seen how ex. qulsitely this rolling process is done. The curvature is perfection of del- icacy and grace. The aggregate merchant tonnage I now under construction in the lead- ing foreign countries is: France, 92,- 1 406 tons; Japan, 32,280; Sweden, 78,232; Germany, 49,855; Spain, 35,- 512; Holland, 31,733; Denmark, 27,- | 1B3; Italy, 27,0776: Norway, 9,410; United States, 3,038 tons. The French figure (92,406 tons) is large- ly due to two vessels-the 63,600- ton Normsndie, and a l2,000-ton motor ship. The countries with the most notable drop in tonnage un- der construction are Italy and the United States. Compared with the present low total of 27,076 tons, Italian shipbuilders had under con- struction at this time last year 14 vessels aggregating 190,565 tons gross. During the same period the American total has fallen from 162,- 200 tons to 3,038 tons. World mer- chant shipping totals 67,920,185 tons gross compared with 69,734,310 tons a. year ago, and 24,008,083 tons in 1901. Great Britain and Ireland and the British Dominions own nearly one-third of the total mer- chant shipping of the world. In his address at Camrosc, Al- berta.

He was for "lncress. ing the economic freedom of the People," whatever that may mean: he thought fsmiers should bo able to borrow more money (winch is as 800d an appeal as I!!!)pl-nd. Just to clinch the thing, he thought they should be able to borrow it at a. lower interest rate. Honestly, we are disappointed in Mr. King. It's not tbs first time, of course, that ho has disappolniod us; but, after some of his curly west- ern speeches, we thought he had re. formed. What we know now is that he's the some Mr. King, and. know. ing it, we take s. most solemn view will be appreciated as a record of a. period previous to 1918, when Mr. Les was still milking cows. And likely Mr, Colson will mention Mr. Lea in his next. Mr. Lea is good copy. Since 1918 all Prince Edward Is- land records have been won by re- cent importations made by various people and practically all show ring prizes in recent years have been won by the descendants of cattle imported since I918. The some goes for high prices. I raced not enumerate them unless the statement is challenged. Also most of the leading herds of Prince Edward Island predom- instc in the blood of these late importstions, and, I may add many , of the leading Ontario, Quebec and some United States herds have acquired it. It was kept pure on the Island and wo sell it buck to them. We know Messrs. Des. and Clark were successful showman twenty years ago. What's the point? If the stuff is still about why not bring it out with records or in show rings? Wouldn't ft be a gracious admin. of some of the things that are going to be said-and done-in th next election. The Happy Village (W. Beach ‘rhomas, in the Ina- don Spectator) Our English villages advance by many pretty actions to a social state more equal to their scenic beauty. There is a hamlet in Hert- fordshire where to their danger and discomfort many childr.\ played in the road, like any urban group, though they lived in the midst of fields. Some members of the little community put their heads together and secured um- porary pcssessicn of one of the fields. A little later a. generous neighbour bought and equipped the field as a children's play- ground and presented it as a pos- session "ln perpetuity" bo the Par. ish Coundl. The decds were hand- ed over this week at the spot. One small and quite unessential detail set a flourish on the altogether pleasing ceremony. Seventeen of the smaller children were gathered iflkether at a heap and pit of sion for Mr. 1.0a to make ishat the best of royal families run out and occasionally need an outcross? If that is true in humans why not apply it to cattle and buy a few black and white babies descended from the aristocrats formerly own- ed in Oxford County, Ontario, the cream of which was brought to Prince Edward Island in five car- loads in 1918, 1919 and 1920.
