It is evident, however that the Old Men think differently and have a"! high opinion of their prowess as hock ey players. I The sympathy of many friends is‘ extended to Mrs Guy Boulter who returned on Wednesday to her home in Mllbum from her formerhome in Elmsdale, whore she had been sum- moned by the sudden and unexpected death of her mother, Mrs Allan Hardy. Although the deceased had been under the care of physicians and the fact that she had heart trouble was recognized by relatives the end came as a. severe shock for she had been around as usual and “ilntil a short time before her death Their friends in this vicinity also extend sympathy to the bereaved husband and the son, Emerson. in their sudden bereavement. Mrs George Wilkinson has resigned her position in the .O'Leary Branch of the Bank of Nova Scotla and will remove to her future home in Spring- field this week. During the period of years in which she was employed in the Bank she won the friendship of those with whom she was associated and the good opinion of those who came in contact with her while carrying on business at the bank, and. her departure will be regretted, M" Wilkinson's place in the Bank has been filled by Promoting Mr. Ralph Osen to thepposition formerly occu- llifid by her and Mr. H. W. Hennlgar, Kennetcook, Hams Co., N, S., has been added to the staff. The heavy traffic in this vicinity coupled with the softness of the road resulted in the formation of a large number of deep pitches. To fill those by shovellirlg was a task which would require a great deal of hard work so Mr. Walter Gorrlll and Mr. Clarence Gen-ill decided to fill them and widen and level the road by machinery. They used the smaller type o! road machine which was drawn by six horses and the work done was very commendable partic- ularly in the business section where traffic was heaviest and pitches more plentiful and even deeper than elsewhere. Mr Willard Betta of Glenwood re- cently pad the bad luck to lose his pocket book containing the sum of fifty dollars.

Island:-- The next trip was made to Char- lottetown by train, and what mem- ories cropped up in my mind H5 We rolled over the 49 miles of steel rails, now changed from the narrow to the standard gauge. I knew every turn in the road-and there were many of them—when, as a small boy, I sold apples, candy and prize packages on the Summerside- Charlottetown train over half a century ago. Sydney Grey furnished the supplies to the boys in those days, and had the right to “hire and fire." Financially, the news- boys found conditions about as they are today. They did not make much money, but they did get free rides. The train referred to had Engin- eer McLean, Fireman John Yeo and Conductor John L. Thompson. I d0 crew, but think another McLean was baggage master. In Summer- side, J. D. Einman was station mas- ter, T. B. Grady, train dispatcher and John Henry Burns, whose voice could be heard a great distance, was be found and returned to its prop-er owner. An unusual accident which happily terminated less seriously than might‘ have been the case occurred a few days ago in the basement of Ken-l nedy d: Kennedy's store where a dry,‘ well was beingdleaned.‘ out by Mr W l t i er Lidstone, employee of the firm.‘ This well was intended" for the pur- pose of keeping the cellar molstureq free. Lye und a sanitary cleaner had been placed in the well to assist in clearing out the accumulations. While Mr. Lidstone was working Mr Roy Kennedy, the manager and Ml‘. Hanson Lldamne, a clerk in the store, went down to the basemorlt to assist in the work of changing the drills! When the pipe was disconnected, the lye-saturated wafer burst forth. The spray struck Mr. Kennedy in the face and he received several bums. How- ever hls eyes escaped and in this rc- spect he fared much better than Mr. Hanson Lidstone who received the. spray of lye water and sand full in the eyes. Fortunately Mr. Walter Lid- simie understood firt aid as a result of a course in this subject given dur- ing his training overseas where he was a. member of the CEF. and he immediately poured a. quantity of soothing oil into the injured man's eyes. later medical aid was given and although Mr. Lldshoneb eyes are burned and inflamed by the lye, he is able by wearing colored glasses to carry on his work aa usual. It is con- sidered fortunate that at the time of the accident there was an unusually large amount of water in the well and the lye was thus well-diluted. Otherwise Mr. Lldstone would no doubt have had his eye-sight destroy- Iwopleyedhcrelaatwedcwhenthegditiohmodtbltthllmmqwillhevcbwnlldlilll-Ill- ‘furnishings, and with his sons to ALSO SERIAL AN D COMEDY yard master. The trip that after- noon in August was rePIEW with memories of the past. I looked for- Ffofn rn (‘a flvard to meeting two survivors of Qiho above group when I reached ' Charlottetown. we arrived in the Capital City during the exhibition and races, and as all the hotels were filled with guests for several days, we secured lrooms through the Tourist Associ- ation at the home of Mrs. F. S. Mitchell, 81 Euston street. The Tourist Association is doing splendid work in attracting tourists from the states to the “Island Pro- vince," and are sollcltous for their comfort while there. Strangers leave the Island with a. feeling that they want to return again. Thousands of people from all parts of the provinces were present each day to witness the horse racing. Prince Edward Island was once famous for raising horsesl of a. high grade. I was surprised to learn that instead of raising them as in the old days, Island farmers are im- porting an inferior grade from the ‘Canadian West. An exciting race took place one n0! R0311 "l8 0th" members 0f the iday when five horses started. One of the drivers, behind a Truro horse, was thrown to the ground just as the ruce started. The trotter, withi a light sulky, held his place with the other four competitors, trotted around the course twice without a break, won the race, and trotted off to his stable. He. was given fifth place by the judges. ‘But we were more interested in locking up old friends than in horse lacing, and as my "better half" had been in Charlottetown the year be- fore, she undertook to show me around. Of course we called to see St-xtus MacLellan alt his place of business on Queen street. His special lines are tailoring and men's assist, 1a doing a good business. Going to Charlottetown and not calling on Scxtus ls like going to Rome and not seeing st. Peter's. Scxtus is the proud father of a. fine family. One daughter is s. religious m Miscouche convent.

Mr. and Mrs. Grady made two trips through California in recent years. For several years Mr. Grady was sperlntendant of the Island division of the Canadian National Railways at Charlottetown. l-fe is now re- tired. We also had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Brady's sister, Miss Carrie Grady, one of sunnmerside’: lovely girls. "Bub" Grady, as we wed to call him, is the came obliging man of other days.

Mlnndh Llnlment for Solution- WHEAT TESTING AT EXPERIMENTAL FARM PROVES BENEFICIAL OTTAWA, Ont, April 1.-(By_ the Canadian Preasl-“It i5 PIObBbW 583° to say no phase of scientific inquiry has played a more important part in the economic development of the Dominion than has that connected with the milling and baking of new wheats as conducted at the Central Experimental Farm in Ottawa. Here one may daily hear the hum of a. miniature flour mill and may exam- ine numerous test loaves produced from new whcats brought in from the numerous government conducted experimental farms and stations scattered throughout Canada, at which points they are easier tested for yield and agronomic characters. The oven in which the world- famous Marquis wheat was first baked some 20 years ago, ts still in use. If. is doing its bit 1n uuu action with an aggressive programme which seeks to produce for Canada still fin- er wheats. Undoubtedly, one of the best assets possessed by the Dominion today is the high quality of her wheat. The grain is prized above all for its su- perb quality, reflected in its ability to provide “strength” to blends of weaker wheats. While the grain of Argentina and Russia may approach in quality the wheat produced in this Dominion, yet Old Country mil- lers still regard Canada's product as Monarch of the-wheats. The importance" to Canada of maintaining a high standard in the quality of her wheats has long been recognized. As a result no new wheat. no matter how productive, -has been able to obtain the stamp of approval and to get into general circulation before being put to the acid test, first, of the experimental mill and bake shop and finally of the ' larger commercial establishments. It was at the Experimental Farm lhere that the outstanding quality of Marquis was first recognized ns a result of the exacting tests to which . it was subjected. It was at the same institution and through the same {oven that the newer introductions ‘known as Reward and Garnet came to be picked out from hundreds of father forms as being worthy of fur- ther investigation and development. At present numerous promising Jul-ms from a. rust resistant stand- point are being investigated for mill- ing and baking qualities and results obtained thus far seem to indicate ldefinite progress is being made in this respect. It is confidently expect- , ed that in the near future a. variety will be made available to the rust- ‘ hidden areas of Manitoba which will be capable of resisting the ravages of this disease, and at the same time produce ‘satisfactory yields of wheat of excellent baking qualities. heme and we were glad to meet them. It was indeed a pleasure to call at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Thompson on Rochford square. After serving many years as con. ductor on the P. E. I. Railway, Mr. Thompson was promoted to the position of station agent at Char- lottetown. He is now retired and resting after many long years of faithful service. I still remember back through the years the many kindnesses extended by condom);- Thompson to at lam one pool- little newsboy who rode back and forth daily during the atomic of winter and the heat of summer, trying to cam a few cents aday from the sale of his wares.

But as we find that new mem- bers were added from time to time the numbers were increased each year and the nunber of copies of annual reports ordered by the Bo- ciety increased too. The finances be- ing low it was decided to hold sup- pers at the homes and thus supple- ment tha offerings, a: the Society had undertaken extra duties for war work and a. heavy demand was made on the faithful band of workers.

The Thankofferlng was taliemtwice in the year at Easter and in the fall this good custom still prevailing while the receipts from fees and other sources were constantly on the lncreaseowirlg to an increase in the membelship and liberality.
