This is one of the most im- portant meepngs inIthe year and the Womens' Institutes one of the most; important institutions 01 the Province. This arm of the govern- ment has done excellent work in the past and we have the faith to be- lieve that most effective work still lies before it. An excellent pros- ramme has been arranged for their thfgg days‘ functions in the city, which provides not only for the ac- tual business of the convention but for some entertainment as well.

OUR. POPULATION. CCORDING to statistics recently lgsued by the Government Bu- rcau of Statistics, the lldlllliei-iil" °f Canada has increased by 139-009- The same statistics show that with the exception of Prince Edward Island the population has increased in every Province, that of Prince Edward Island has fallen by ebmlt three hundred. This is but an esti- mate and is probably approximate- ly correct. To the decrease of three hundred in Prince Edward may h? added at least my her wil- Of ti" four hundred young men who left the other day for Western (Mnadfl to take part in the harvesting oper- ations. Figuring on former experi- ences it is comparatively safe to as- sume that two hundred of these may return, the other two hundred to join the increasing population 0f Western Canada and probably when the harvest is over to slide across the line to the United States. The falling population is Prince Edward Island's.problem. How it is to be met and overcome it may be difficult to figure out at present. The only room for increased DOD- ulation in this Province is on the land. This way lies the solution and its difficulties have already been pointed out. We have been subsi- dizing industries and undertakings throughout Canada. Efforts have been made to establish returned sol- . diers and even immigrants. but so far no effort has been made to sub- sidize our native sons who turn to the land. They are permitted to seek employment in other provinces and in other countries. The young man accustomed to farming and in a position to carry on in that call- ing, for whom the paternal estate cannot afford a farln of his own. must go elsewhere to seek a living. If the provisions extended to men whose only qualification in farming is their desire to own a farm. were extended to young men who have been brought up as farmers. the situation might be very different. There are hundreds of young men in this Province, sons of farmers and well qualified to carry on farm- ing on their own account who would unquesti uiubly make 300d if Bil/eh an opportunity by means of subsidy or otherwise. This is a phase of the question which has not been taken up, but which we submit is worth considering. We have abundance of land now lying idle which could be brought into profitable productive- pess if the proper methods were pursued. The question. we admit, is a very difficult one. but one that must be born in mind. It is simply The annual convention of tho ‘ to be practically depopulated within a short time something must be done which has not yet been tried. and on the face of it this something through August, there is a touch of should be along the line of encour- Fall 1n the air, although the country aging our own young men and wo_ has rarely looked greener at this men to take up farming at home. i i‘ THINKING IT OVER. Liberals generally are seriousl Hon. R. B. Bennett, both in the other provinces and in our own. He has given them hard nuts to crack and instead of trying to crack them they are evading them. We are told that both at the Convention in Wtn- nipeg last year and during the re- cent parliamentary session, Mr. Ben- nett never made use of the word “protection? and that now the only remedy he proposes is "high" pro- tection. It is useless to That it has been simply a demand tween Canadians and foreigners. That under the present Liberal Ed- minlstration such equality of oppor- tunity has not existed is clearly in- dicated by the fact that we are be- ing crowded out of our own markets by unequal foreign competition, and each whittling there has been a fall- and a continuous exodus to the Un- ited States. as pointed out by the Hon. Mr.Ben- nett. Importation of steel and iron has increased in re- cent years and coincidentally the falling off in production. The steel and coal industry of Nova Scotla, which some years ago gave employ- mcnt to thousands of men, and pro- vided a home market for the sister Maritime Provinces, is now working part time and with a continually decreasing employment. The im- portation of millions of pounds of butter from New Zealand and Aus- tralia has crowded the Canadian dairy industry into a constantly narrowing corner, with the result ed. Increasing lmportatlons from the United States of goods which ought to be manufactured in Can- of Canadian raw material is anoth- er index of the general trend of tariff instability. These are cut- administration, and must be faced by the people of Canada. The fact that Canada enjoys a measure of prosperity, in spite of the instability and the uncertainty of our fiscal policy only shows that Canadian enterprise cannot be wholly checked even by makeshift political juggling for the sake of power. Our pros- perity now depends exclusively on our abundant crops and the sale of raw material. No credit for this prosperity is due to the Govem- ment. The great damning fact re- mains that at present we cannot people and that we are importing more manufactured goods than we waste of time and money to provide farms for men who have no idea of forming and no knowledge of the pmper p. of farming. Ex- perience has shown that such efforts in many canes have resulted infill- joke in are exporting. This is not business. -—-—;-0>?_. EDITORIAL NOTES.

Were some of the agricultural that our young men and young _wo- men are still leaving their country to seek employment elsewhere. The tariff under the Mackenzie King re- gime has been whittled downward on four different occasions and with ing off in industrial development, These conditions clear- ly are traceable to cause and effect fabricated with Mr. McIntyre's reasoning with regard to ordering $100,000 road machinery per telephone, regardless of the $20,000 or $25,000 commis- sion; and of effecting a saving of millions of dollars by his road pol- icy. The fact of the matter is Mr. McIntyre either does not grasp the significance of elementary arith- metic, or is utterly reckless in his statements. According to the Pat- riot, his mouthpiece, there were 1,622 autos crossed to Borden up to July 30. Allow, for the sake of ar- gument. these were all tourists, al- though a very large proportion were Islanders, including Mr. McIntyre himself, who went to the mainland and returned in cars, how long did these on an average remain on the Island? Would a week be an aver- age period? Themonly a week's This kind of argument is on a par steel works of Canada have shown a that this foundational agricultural industry is now seriously threaten- ada by Canadian workmen and use standing factors today in Canadian gasoline per car need be reckoned as their purchase here of gasoline, and according to Mr. McIntyre this is sufficient to pay for his road policy. The question naturally arises,‘ then, what becomes of the gasoline tax provided by the Island owners use; what becomes of the tax they pay? Does it evaporate into thin air like the gas, or disappear as mys- teriously as the twenty-odd thou- sand dollars of the road machinery commission, or is it just another case of the Hon. the Minister of‘ Public Works speaking through his hat? ‘ In connection with the use oi’ gasoline, and its taxation, it is in- terestlng to learn that in Great have successfully experimented in obtaining gasoline’ from coal. present the Mother Country buys $250,000,000 worth of gasoline from the United States, and obviously if she could produce her own supplies, 8 $ However here is the other side oil h e matter. Th number of cases of measles, whooping cough. chicken pox andi mumps all appear to be higher among children whose tonsils have been removed than among either of the groups who have tonsils. This is worth knowing. Now you have. the whole story ‘from a real authoratative source, the United States Health Service at Washington. What should you do? On the evidence above, and with the help cf the family physician, it is likely that you will let normal tonsils alone even if they are large, but will see to it that defective tonsils are removed. e-oveoo-oa Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LII i Lwvcvoc-ocoo-ovoroooooqm struction, imparted by the Return- activitles ed really true, Prince i might well blush through burned ‘clay. and tremble as her poplars, before the breath of honest enquiry; but ‘they are not true as a whole, and may be considered below the real facts, not to the number of population, but in theienumeration of the quantities of production. These reflections on the census of 1861 are rather severe, as had since‘ been proven. The fault on the con’- trary was clue to deficient knowledge on the part of the enumerators of how to perform the tasks they un- dertook to perform. At that time they lacked education and owed their appointments to party poli- tics. This. we presume. is how the "Great Evil" was caused by a weak spot that still exists.
