Since the establishment of creamer- ies and cheese factoriesvboth the quality and the quantity of our butter and cheese have shown steady improvement and the prices received have been increasingly sat- isfactqry. From twelve and sixteen cents per pound for butter and even less than that for cheese, these products have increased in value to the very remunerative prices, _of "While many causes"contributed'"to the rease in prices the main cause has been the unifomity of quality brought about by the co-operative cheese and but- ter factories. A' V *Of late years, some farmers, taking a_d-_ 'vantage of the high. prices, have undertak- en to manufacture their own butter, thus saving the factory expenses, milk hauling. wages, etc. 'Many of them have made and are making butter of excellent quality which finds ready sale among local custom- ers but very little of this butter finds its way into the open market. Many others are putting up butter of poorer quality, which is being sold to the grocers and deal- ers at some six to ten cents cheaper than dairy butter. There are tons of this butter in the handsof dealers in the province to- day which will not bring a price that will let the dealer out without a loss. Much ol' this butter may be of good quality, may be even as good as dairybutter but the whole is judged by the poorer lots that have get into the market, with the result that all dairy butter is tabooed. This is a serious loss to the province and to the farmers and the only preventative is to patronize the factories as before. The market -demands butter of a uniform quali- ty, pedigreed butter thatcan be depended upon. This can only be secured through the factories. The milk used in making butter that becomes, a drug on the market or is sold at a loss of six to ten cents a pound could be made by- the -factory into a pro- duct that would sell at the very remunera- tive- prices paid for butter and cheese and for which there is an unlimited market. The aggregate loss to the province' through this system is a very serious one and un- fortunately is increasing yearly. Wetrust that the farmers will take this matter up in a business way and have their milk man- ufactured in the only profitable way, name- ly, in the factories. Butter and cheese of good reliable quality are selling today at prices that should satisfy all, and the only way to avoid the present serious waste is to have the milk manufactured in the fac- tories. f ----)0(---- ' EG(l`r DAYS ' The Ladies' Auxiliary of the Prince Ed- ward Island Hospital are asking for con- ilibutions of egg.. from the farmers and. poultry men of the province for the use of ine hospital. 'l"rie.~‘.e eggs are intended for storage for winter use. The ladies have se- cubed-a stall in the market building where eggs will be gratefully accepted. il-ext`Tue_s- day and Friday, the 11th and 14th inst. A few dozen eggs each from the many who can afford to give them will be but a slight sacrifice for the givers, but will ag- gregate 'a very great boon _to the hospital and to those whose misfortune it may be to require its services. Many of our citizens have contributed very generously in cash to the upkeep of the hospital and we feel as- sured that the farmers’ wives and daught- ers who are equally interested will willing- ly- respond to this request for eggs. Con- tributions of all sizes, from a dozen to a case will be gratefully accepted and we trust that on Tuesday and Friday next we may be able to _record a contribution that will be a credit to the country, not only in the number of eggs but in the number of people who will contribute. Let everybody give andgby their giving show their sympa- thy wth and their willingness to assist the hospital. . , ' ` oiiirioisivi 1 The critics, like the poor, we shall always hive witlius. It has been said that there are three classes of poor, namely' “God’si " r, the Devil’s poor and poor devils." tl_cs'>-might be somewhat similarly class- ` ' . There are those who criticize with the .1 _ . ,purpose ,of findingfault or. of doing an in- _Jury-paralleling .the Devil’s poor; and there are those who criticize something they know nothing about-like the poor devils. _ _ _ Criticism with a view to correction and improvement is not only wholesome and helpful but necessary for the betterment of society; for the elevation' ' of community standards i_n_ moral, in taste, in apprecia- tion.; Criticism for any other purpose is injurious' to the community and unjust to the thing criticized. » . To criticize justly and at the same time to safeguard the rights of all concerned, is perhaps one of the most difficult of under- takings. Take the case of an ordinary theatrical performance. By “ordinary” we mean the class of play that is neither whol- ly good nor bad, that by one half .of the _audience is declared to be “one of the best that ever happened” and by the other half as,_v_ehem_ently declared to be “rotten.” The critic, being human, will himself belong to -eitheifclass.------If-his-taste has beerrgratified his task is simple; he can commend in su- perlatives. If on the other hand he belongs to the class that believed the performance to be “rotten” he must-either lie cheerfully in expressing his “opiniQn,” or give the per- formers.-a black mark which will not only injure them but 'deprive those whom such performances please of the pleasure of be- ing similarly entertained again, for no com- pany will undertake to live down a severe criticism. With half the audience pleased with the performance justice demands that full credit be given the performers and the encouragement thus given them will un- doubtedly help them by giving them a re- putation to live up to. Fifty per cent. merit in any entertainment should entitle the performers to “pass” with words of com- lnendation from the whole house. Where vulgarity in any form enters in- to the performance, a thing fortunately unknown in this city, it should certainly be severely censured, even although, con- zeivably, such vulgarity might tickle the palates of one-half the audience. ~ The wise critic never forgets 'that his personal opinion cannot be the unanimous opinion of the audience. He may be bored but his neighbor is delighted; he may not be “in the spirit” and the 'performance may jar upon him, while the majority of his neighbors are having the time of their lives. It is»not an infrequent occurrence to hear disparaging remarks on shows, on theatrical or musical performances, on lectures, etc. In nine cases out of ten such remarks are unfair. The audience as a whole, provided it be an ordinarily respect- able one, may very safely be taken as the barometer whose reading of the perform- ince is approximately correct. ____)0(__._ _ 'rim .\'1`1;\v sUn.vi.\liixn via.\"rUnE The appearance of enemy submarines off the United States coast need not be taken too seriously, says an exchange. The un- dersea boats can scarcely accomplish 3,000 miles from home what they have failed. to do 300 or 400 miles from their own bases. For nearly four years theyihave been en- gaged in a futile attempt to check the flow- of men, munitions and food supplies to the Alled armies. Despite the 'early boast of von Tirpitz the British Navy has succeeded in transporting 13;000,000 men to the vari- our scenes of action. Under- the protection of the Royal Navy the merchant marine has kept the Allied armies abundantly sup - plied with all the necessaries of war. From this continent alone upwards of 1,000,000 men and enormous quantities or munitions and foodstuffs have been success- fully carriediacross the Atlantic. The Hun submarines are n`ot»sinking half as many vessels today as they were a year ago. It should also be remembered that the Allied shipyards are now turning out new vessels faster than the enemy is sinking them. The enemy’s action in sending his underwater cruisers to thisside of the Atlantic may be traced in part to his love for the spectacu- lar. If he thinks he can terrorize the Am- erican people he is as mistaken in his psychology as he has often shown himself in the last 45 months. The United States will not be turned aside from its purpose. It will not cease to send tro%s in the larg- est` possible numbers to the est-ern front. This last invasion of American coast wat- ers is rather likely to rouse a great nation to redoubled efforts against the inveterate foe of civilization and democracy. NOTES Col.`Roosevelt has paid a high tribute to the late James _Gordon Bennett and the patriotic work done by the New York He- rald. .Yet the Colonel never had a harsher newsgaper critic.
