When he should‘ be working for the best interests of the country as a whole, this type of pseudo-statesman is usually thinking of himself and the effect which any- thing he does or affects to do will have on his particular constituency. An instance of this occurred last] irweek, when a strong requeston the? purl; of the Boards of Trade yvasi litlde to Ottawa with reference to‘ the continuation of an adequate transportation service during the tie- up of the Car Ferry. The obvious heed of the Province is the provisionl “of steamer accommodation by the, "umost navigable route; ‘and at. thlsi lesson of the year the only navigable,‘ Ibuta for any steamer less powerfully ‘ ‘equipped than the Car Ferry ls tbs-i tween Georgetown and Plctou.

They would have preferred to remain in their native laud had they reasonable assurance of a living here, even one less satisfying than that offered in the United States. More than half a million of our fellow countrymen have had to go elsewhere to flnd a market for their labor, and next door they got what they were in search of. These half a million Canadians, upon the educa- i tion and training of whom much had ibeen expended, were worth the nt- tentlon of our Government. They were entitled to have fair provision made by Government policy for their At least they had done nothing to incur the harsh penalty of dlsemployment the Government's anti-national policy brought upon them. The United States is now the home of five or six hundred thousand Canadians who will be a moral and industrial force in that country. Can- ada ls paying clearly for the King Government's persistent playing into the hands of the United States. As some of our leading bankers have pointed out, the industry of the coun- try is kept on too nurrow a basis and l limited to classes of production that give labor too little opportunity of earning in one afteuthe other of the series of processes from raw material production to the completion of the finished article. IF NOT, WHY NOT? IT is a somewhat singular fact that’ after the much heralded investi- gation and preparation for an aerial mail service ‘last year, and an official survey at Charlottetown r... the Pos- tal Department, so much confusion and uncertainty still exists. The Postmaster General. in reply to owire from the Charlottetown Board of Trade requesting immediate mall service by aeroplane during the pre- sent. fie-up, stated that information regarding landing facilities here are The time to have secured definite information was be- fore the present emergency arose.

Plrlnnce. the order "As you were." is, given when the man- oeuvers become bailed up and it. ls ry to begin again. This ap- pears to be the situation in connec- tion with our transportatlonproblem. "As you were" brings us back to the days of the Stanley and the Minto. and, possibly, the ice-boats. True. when the weather permits, we now have the aeroplane service: but the difference between the ice boat and the aeroplane. from a standpoint of efficient mall delivery to this Province in such‘ weather as ‘we are having at present. is rather in favor of the old-time method. Rumors are afloat of the appoint- ment by the Federal Government of a new Minister of Fisheries. And the name of the appointee suggested ls not the Hon. John E. Sinclair, nor anyone else from this Province. Mr. Sinclair figured conspicuously as the prospective Minister before the lest ed him some votes that he would probably not have received on his past. record. This Province has a right to a. seat in the Cabinet. and no other Province has a betterclaim to the Ministry of Fisheries. Evi- dently Mr. Sinclair's qualifications are not appreciated by his colleagues at Ottawa. His chances for a port- folio seem further away than ever. We are not so much concerned with the shelving of Mr. Sinclair as we are with ‘the fact that the Island is unjustly deprived of the Cabinet re- presentatlon to which it is entitled. Miss Agnes lthnfhall, M. P, is at it again. This time she is directing her criticism at the educational sy- stem of Canada. In a recent ad- dress given in Ontario she declared that our schools are turning out boys and girls with the same set of rules and ideas in their heads. whether their. minds are adapted to these ideas or not. She urged the women voters of the country to be less gull- ible and to seek motives behind things, as one learned t do at. Ot- tawa. Women should not take ev- ' "perything that is told them by politi- cians for grantéd.- She acknow- ledged that on account of this rather superficial knowledge of things poli- tical on the part of women, she pre- d talking politics to male audi- hefi s. If Miss MacPhsil succeeds in getting both men and women to think for themselves on political is- sues, she will have done a. good ser- vice to Canada. Too many of both sexes are gulled by the specious lan- guage in which politicians disguise their campaign manoeuvres. The suggestion brought back from Ottawa. by the Hon. W. M. Lea, Min- ister of Agriculture. with respect. to the possible development of cran- berry culture in this Province, is one that. should be looked into. It prom- ises well. Mr. lea received the hint. in conversation with a former Islander who is now an extensive distribu- tor of Cape Cod cranberries in the United States. It is understood that an investigation by s. competent authority will be carried on in the Provlnge next summer for the pur- pose of ascertaining our possibilities in this direction. Should this re- port prove favorable, the Govern- ment would bo well advised to ex- tend to the industry every encour- agcment. Mr. Lea was informed that since the introduction of conning, the price of cranberries docs not. fluctuate in the selling season and the canned product can be shipped all over the world. Cranberry beds yield over forty to one hundred barrels per acre and it. is a. cash crop of great value to the agriculturlst. Since 1925 the importation of fresh cranberries into Canada has steadily risen. Last year's figures are not yet available; but in 1927 there were 29,024 barrels imported, valued at $216,183. As against some other importations from the United States, the figure is not. large, but. it shows there is an available market, even in Canada. for a commodity which might be pro- duced here ln abundance. There are other fruits u well, which deserve attention. Under the Stewart Government a capable offi- cial was appointed to assist our farmers in the scientific cultivation of their orchards. Has the Minister of Agriculture anything tossy with respect to the discontinuance of this movement? We underssnd that the expert engaged by the Stewart Gov- ernment. is no ‘longer employed. While ft is well to test out every new avenue of possible agricultural devel- tho undertakings that have already been successfully started. We ac- quit Mr. Ina of deliberately dropping a. good thing simply becsule it was initiated by his predecessor, but the fgct that it wu so initiated may have had an lmoonlcimu effect in influencing uni substitution of In- the Federal election, a fact which secur- opmcnt. it is better to persevere 'in .

Your heart is likewise Pumping rapidly and P9P- haps you wonder whether your heart. is really as strong as it should be. Of course your heart has been ex- amined for insurance, the army, or other purposes. and you have been assuqed that it. is perfectly sound. And a sound heart is scarcely ever damaged by exercise for two reasons. First, you getout of breath and have to stop exercising long before any damage can be done. Second, as Sir Thomas Lewis states and his opinion is now well support- ed. "The burdens imposed by ex- ercise upon the heart. however heavy these burdens may be, never exhaust the heart's reserve. The reserve of other bodily structures will fail be- fore the heart is pushed to the limit of\ its endurance." This means then that if your heart is sound, is not diseased, excessive exertion may be undertaken with safe- ty. Getting out of breath will be your safetly valve because then you will stop and rest. for awhile. ' Now what about a heart that is not sound but has some organic trouble? When this individual does a. cer- tain amount. of work he uses up his available supply of oxygen. and he must stop work, and welt for a long- er period of time for his lungs to get rld of waste carbon dioxide and a sufficient supply of oxygen into the blood. . When there is real heart trouble therefore, if the individual exercises or works a little too hard, Nature takes care of. him by getting him out of breath in a. very short time, and then makes him wait longer than a. normal individual to get. his breath again. ' You can thus see then that if you have no real heart trouble you are not likely to do your heart any dam- age by over exertion. ’ And if you do have organic heart trouble Nature tries w take care or you as mentioned above. This explains why an individual with organic heart trouble can go on his way year after year without any trouble. because he has learned how much exercise or work he can do with safety. Remember however that if an exer- cise or piece of work you have been doing daily for some time, without getting out of breath, begins to rend- er you breathless, it would be good sense to see your family doctor and let him examine your heart.

New London. P. E. Island. and I take up my pen to express throughyour col- umns, my profound sorrow on ac- count of Mr. McLeod! sudden and unexpected demise; likewise my deep sympathy with his family in their sore bereavement. I have been acquainted with Mr. McLeod for a. period of fifty-six years. since the summer of 1872. when I preached my first sermon in the old St. John's Church, New hon- don. I knew him quite intimately dur- ing my two pastorates. brie in New London, one of three years, 1873 to 1878, and another of ten years. from 1903 to 1914, and I can testify that Mr. McLeod. during his whole life lived up to the highest moral and christian ideals. He was born and reared in an ideal christian home and when he came to have a home of his own, he main- tained in entire harmony with the home of his childhood and youth. His father was Captain John Mc- Lead, one of the numerous sea cap- tains that were to be found around New London Harbour, from‘ fifty to one hundred years ago, when fleets of schooners. barques and brlgs were built, owned and manned by New London men. Both father and son were esteemed elders in St. John's Church, New London. for a number of years, and James M. McLeod was Superintend- ent of thc New ‘London Sabbath School for many years. He took a very prominent part. in all the ac- tivities of his Church. In 1825, when a union of three Canadian Protestant Churches took niece. Mr. McLeods loyalty to his church-the Presbyterian Church in Canada-was so true and steadfast that he went with his Church into the United Church ‘or Canada. Our lamented friend married Grace M"KBY~ the YOWIRest daugher or Adam McKay. Fountain Road, New Tlondon. Adam McKav was a high- l_v esteemed elder in St. John's Church for e period of no: less than forty years. His daughter, Grace, was a Woman of uncommon gentleness of disposi- tion.

Polybius, n. Greek historian, about 150 years before the Christian era, mentions them as if well ac- quainted and describes the method by which the tin, for which they were famous. was obtained. Bur, lt__ is to Caesar, and the succeeding Roman commanders that we are - indebted for a more precise account of the Islands and their people. W» learn that successive waves of Celtic invaders had entered the l5- land from the south east, and, in- deed, that part of the country was. e- en then, noted for some degree of agriculture. blodonrs gives the information that they gathered the grain and stored L4 up “in the stalk" in thatched houses whence "they plucked the old aars from day to clay. and used them to make their food." Elsewhere, in the centre and north, the population was nomadic; their houses “not intended to remain long," were temporary erections. in the midst of an en- closure of felled trees. designed to shelter themselves and their cattle. They had abundance of milk, but "knew not the art of making obese." At Chilllngham Castle, in borthurnberland, is preserved a herd of wild cattle, descended from the aboriginal stock. They are dan- gerous to approach, particularly when they have calves, and are fed, in hard winters, with hay thrown to them over e. stout fence. When they get too numerous, they are "thinned out" by gunners concealed in carts of hay, for they are very suspicious of human beings. As one of the caresses was exposed for sale in the 'market, I made a visit for the purpose of examining it. In size it was a. little smaller than the do- mestic variety, but. well: developed and powerfully built. Its color. as is the case with all our wild cattle - for there are on or two herds in other places-was of a sort of creamy white, except the muzzle which was black. The Britons, like the American Indians, were divided into numer- ous tribes, ethnologically related, but living in territories separated by well-defined ‘n: tural boundaries. They were, however, past the purely hunting stage-although there was great variety 1f game-and perhaps more nearly resembled, in social progress, the Zulus and other tribes of South Africa; and the Romans (despite the fact that. they occa- sionally intermurried, as we gather from their sepulcural inscriptions) looked upon chem with the same superiority as we regard these peo- ples. The aboriginal Britons are de- scribed as being tall of stature, r-orpulent, but not well-made. They Wore their hair long. and shaved the face. all but tho upper lip. After Caesar's invasion the island wa- left undisturbed for almost a century; intestine wars however, were waged incessantly. One of the British chiefs, after a defeat, took refuge at the cout of the Roman enxperor. Claudius, whom he induc- ed to invade Britain. Accordingly, in A. D. 43. an army was despatched‘ and landed in the autumn of that year. The Romans gained several victories, and over-ran the country south of the Thames. building forti- fied camps to retain their conquests. Similar tactics csrrled the Roman arms almost to the borders of Scot- land, by the year ‘f9 A. D. Julius Agricola. a very skillful general then Governor of Britain, reduced the lowlands of Scotland between the years 80 to 84. and built a chain of forts between the Clyde and the Forth. as a cneck upon the northern hlghlandcrs. For some forty years after Agricolsls recall, little is recorded of Britain, till the emperor Hadrian visited the island 1X1 Person in the year 120. The coun- ‘cry seems to have been in disorder and the Caledonlans again trouble- some. Hadrian therefore marched into the northern wilds, drove back the enemy. and c: used that formid- able barrier to be erected between the Bolway Firth and Wallsend on the Tyne, of which we can still trace the stupendous remains, fam- illnrly called the “Roman Well.’ This massive wall was nearly sev- enty uules in length and is flanked on the northern side by a ditch or. toss, about forty feet wide and fif- teen feet deep. Running almost parallel, to the south L: an earthern rampart and a lesser ditch. South of this again. is the military road, which accompanies the wall from end to end and connects s. series of fortified "towns" snterinfl bud leav- lrg them by gates, whose sills ro- main. grooved deep by the passing of chariot wheels two thousand years ago. - . The well itself varies from six to ten feet in width and was built of stones wit a face of sbouteight by eleven ch01. and s length of twenty inches; these were laid as "headers." and the inter-space be- tween the northern and southern face of the wsli, wu filled with rough stones laid in a peculiarly ten acious cement.
