A recent statement summarizes the apparent causes of agricultural de- pression throughout Canada. in the following terms: principal reasons for the present lcw prices of farm products are: the gen- etal depression and reduced purchas- ing power on the part of individual consumers; market outlets to the United States; increased production and diversion of production to flood the home mar- ket; the tendency of prices to settle down to an export market basis; heavy insportations of green vege- tables; and the decidedly unseason- able weather conditions of the past season." - "Briefly stated the a. drastic restriction of BIRTHS WATTON-At the P.

S. Rev. Mr. Fraser will remain hcrc until about July 1st. It is witif deep regret that his congregation receiv- ed his announcement. A delegation from among the elders of the Church waited upon him a few nights ago to try and persuade him to remain in Summerside; Rev. Mr. Fraser said that it was his earnest desire to preach to students that was the chief factor in his decision to accept the call. He sincerely appreciated the fyears ago and settled at Victoria ‘Cross, P. E. Island. It was here that .the deceased was born. 1n the fam- ily of Mr. and Mrs. John Benton there were eight members, four sons and four daughters. Of these only flve now remain- ‘Tile sons besides the deceased are Norman Beaton of St. Eleanors, Alexander, of Edmonton, and Angus, of Wfnsloe and the daughters are Mrs. Flora Buchannan. and Mrs. Euphemia Hayes of Van- couver, B.

In his early teens he set out to make his own way in the world He travel- led far and wide. At one time or another in his life he worked in every one of the United States and in every country north of the equat- or. He was one o! the pioneers of the Kiondyke and went i1 on the famous trail of “nfnety-reven" Ho spent two years in that great lone north land. Alter he returned from hav- ing made good in the Kloridyke he married Miss Mary Campbell, daugh- ter of the late Mr. Donald E. Camp- bell, formerly of Dsrlfngton, but iat- er of Charlottetown, and settled at O'Leary. Here he and his family lived until some fourteen years ago, when they moved to Wfnsloe where they have since resided. Mr. Benton was a man who CO-‘li a deep interest in all that fifilllflfll to the good of the school, oi the church and of the community as a whole. He was a loyal supporter of the Presbyterian Church in Can- ada and at the time of the disrupt- ion in 1925 he stood true to the faith once delivered to the saints. He was a man of keen intellect and of sane Judgment and as a result he was a wise counsellor. He will be much missed in different spheres of activ- ity, but more especially will his loss be felt in the home. There his loved ones will be lonely without him and will often long for his return.

Sermon On “The Unseen Power Delegations from Montague and other communities were in attend- ance at the Central Christian Church meeting last night, and the gloom that often characterizes a. Monday night service was conspicuously ab- sent. The serice began promptly at 7.30 with Mrs. Whiston at the piano and Minister Outhouse at the or- gan. Evangelist Whiston led in song in his inimitable way and the aud- ience Joined in the chorus of the duet sung by ‘the Whlstons. It was announced that quartettss and other special music were in preparation- The Evangelist preached on “The Unseen Power," making use of one of ‘the most dramatic passages in He said. “There are those who see the invisible army of God hovering over and around God's children and there are those who do not. The enemy of God refuses to recognize the unseen power. God hates injust- ice and wrong, and from His invis- ible vantage He causes wrongs to be rfghted and protects the truth. Many in the church even fail to see the invisible. and often act as if there were no God who watches and sees. Elisha had a. religion that-had cogs in it-so did the Apostle Paul. It pulled and it held. A man who called himself a Christian, but who never functioned with Gods people asked me one day for a favor. I Srfliited it. Then I asked him what his re- ligion was doing for him: "Oh. he said, “I give to good causcs and I pray.” I said "rune but what are you doing " Jesus said: "Not every one that prayeth but he that doeth the will of God." Rufus Choate, the great authority on International Law once said, ‘A mldling lawyers 1e worse than no lawyer,’ and by the some taken a. middling Church mem- ber is worse than no church mem- ber." The services will be held each night this week except Saturday and will last about an hour. A PLEA roa CANADIAN COAL (Canadian Press) TORONTO, Ont, Mfly 3--—U Y0“ have a. fireplace in your living room and are not burning Canadian coal you are not playing the game. If every Canadian household with a fireplace would use Alberta coab, the result would be greatly increased tonnage from the western fields. So declared E. S. Clarry, trade commis- sioner for Alberta, addressing the Local Council of Women recently. “Ontario and Quebec use fifty-six million tons of coal. The Marltimos need to sell only one and one half million tons more to have no un- employment problem." This was point ed out by R. W. E. Burnaby, trade commissioner for the Maritimes, who also noted the fact that Canadian women are buying large quantities of imported sardines, while the larg- est sardine factory in the world is in New‘ Brunswick. Often when the Canadian housewife buys new import ed potatoes these have been original- ly procured from Prince Edward Is- land. Canada imports four million ‘dollars’ worth of fish. while Nova Scotia fishermen are in want. Can- adians buy imported skis, when the largest ski factory in the world is in New Brunswick. The may be told that the imported skis are of espec- ially good wood, when probably that wood in the imported skis ls from Canada. become worthless after a few hours‘ ashore, Shrfmpers, like gamblers, play with luck. At times their catch might tot- al 300 pounds and then again 3,000. As a result of three years’ experi- mentation Trube has now completed a process of below zero freezing whereby the shrimp becomes solid- ly frozen after ten minutes. They are then packed in cold storage. Dis- tribution, is also carried out in iced refrigerator cars or ‘ , t- manta. While canned shrimp has been long known, frozen shrimp partic- ularly answered the culinary pray- ers of the ‘ ,IIICSG to whom this lowly crustacean has provided food to the bulk of the population for centuries. The shrimp, when thawed out, are then prepared in their own particular way.

This Ministerial Association of Prince Edward Island assembled in St. Paul's Hall, Charlottetown, this fourth day of May, i031, hereby de- clares its considered and unanimous opinion that any referendum on the liquor question at the approaching Provincial election, or in the near future, is quite unnecessary and in- advisable. We make this declaration on the ground that the people of Prince Edward island have so recent- ly, as in 1927 and again in 1929 giv- en their decision in favor of continu- ation of the Laws of Prohibition of the sale of intoxicating liquor for beverage purpose. This Association therefore requests the Legislature to take no steps in the direction of any such referen- dum. Furthermore, we strongly re- quest that the Prohibition law of this province be given the stcrnest cli- forcement possible. Rev. W. L.

Limitation Of Armament (By Ken Clark, Canadian Press Staff Cir-respondent) WASHINGTON, D. 0., May ~l.- President Hoover. speaking at the opening of the sixth conference of nlerce, today told one thousand lead- ers o.’ business in thirty-five nations that the present world economic de- pression was comparable in its depth and extent only to those which have followed about the same distance after the former great wars of mod- ern history. The President suggest- ed as a. means of reducing the tax burden of the world, limitation of‘ armament. He pointed out the world expenditure of arms is now nearly fi,000.000.000 yearly. That there are 5.500.000 men under arms and 20,- 000,000 more in reserves, vast lrvrcrs greatly exceeding lllOFC of ill!) pro- war period. The President said "rc- duction of this gigantic waste of competition in military establish- ments is, in the ultimate o.’ an im- portance transcendent over all oili- er forms of economic effort." The President's commrnt on the. extent of the present depression and his remark, "it is needless for me to emphasize the high degree of econ-i omic interdependence of fliu worldfi found almost reiteration in the dd-, dress of Georgcss Theunis, former.
