l’rince l".dwai'd Island is liiiowii as the “(1`radlc of

Proviiice in Canada wliich prodiices enough to feed its
own people, and coiisctpiciuly thc cost of living is niuch
less than the a\'cra_e_'e _for the rest of the lloiiiinion.

Prince l_id\\'ard Island is the “tiardeii l‘roviiice" of the
I)o`iniiiioii. Nestliiig in the coiicave fornied by the
Southern coast of the (juli of St. l_.a\\'i'ciice, .sheltered

illiistrated souvenir supplement to the Lliarlottetoyvn
tlnardian, containing a lot of interesting niforination
about a section of North _\iiierica not as well known
to dwellers in the States :is it ought to be. Prince Ed-
ward lslaiid is liiiowii as the "Garden of the Gulf" of
SL l.:ii\‘i'ciice, and is the lionie of the silver fox indus-

lv all of the land being tillable and niucli of it very pro-
ductive. 'l`hc publisliers of the Guardian have reason
to be proud of this nuniber, which the editor says it was
intended originally to issue on the occasion of the 50th
aniiiversary of the conference which led to the Confed-
crzitioii of Lfaiiiula, btit which was postponed by the out-
