One wrote to the London Daily Mail that it was a shame that Great Britain had not responded more readily to the appear-for recruits, while the other, the ‘London correspondent of a T0- ronto' paper, replied that the percentage was greatly in favour of the Old Country; I-le pointsout that th`e totalpopulation of the Dominion is roughly 8,500,000. Canadian recruitment is roughly in‘ the ratio of 1 to 42. The total popillation of the British Isles, includ- ing Ireland, is 45,000,000. There are 3,000,000 men in the new armies alone. The number of rercruits in ter- ritorial aiid special reserve regiments cannot be be- lo\v 1,000,000. T hetotal British recruitment since the war broke out is therefore in round figures 11,000,- 000, a ratio roughly of i iii ii. If we apply the Brit- ish standard to Canada, the Dominion should have re- cruited over 75o,ooo men by now. We are quite aware of the factors which have prevented her from enlisting anything like such a number. 'We do not believe for a moment that Canada has failed or will" fail, and certainly no good purpose is to be served by_ A 600D MOVE The Canadian Handicrafts Guild, of which _there has been for several years a very flourishing branch in Summerside, this province, is, as was to be expect- ed, adjusting itself to the conditions created by the war. In a circular recently issued cash prizes are of- fered for hand-made toys, the determining factors bc- ing “best workmanship," “most originality," “lowest cost” and “most popular.” For those showing best workmanship two prizes are offered of $5 and $3 re- spectively. For toys showing the most originality $10 is offered, while prizes for lowest selling and__p0pul§~l_r-"H ity range from five to two dollars each. The winners _ will be determined by vote at the annual exhibition .in November and competition is open to all Canadians. The idea underlying this new departure is _to __es-_ tablish a home-made toy industry in Canada and to keep the money at home which heretofore `has gone ‘td Germany. It is well known that practically all the _toys sold in Canada \vitliin the memory of the pr_e_s__e_nt, 'generation bore the legend “made in Germany.” The _brgiid was regarded_a§ an evidence of siiperiorlity. “Made in- Germany" was_a recommendatidn; hence- forward it will be the reverse. We are no longer to get our toys or any other goods from Gerrqany. But the toys and the other goods heretofore proqired from .Germany and.Austria will still be in demand and they must bé` procured elsewhere. There is no rgasorl why “Canada should not manufacture all the ttfys, or for that matter' all the goods heretofore imported from Germany, and we have no doubt that the-1 next few years willwitness a revolution in this respect. In an incredibly short time our factories have adjusted them- selves to the manufacture of shells and muiiitions and now the manufacture of large guns is to be _inaugurat- ed. These, of course, are the pressing needs of the moment but the need of munitions _and ordnance will be over eventually and Canada and the Enipirewill settle down again to the ways of peace and of civiliza- tion. While lending all our energies to the.successful the peaceful years in the near future wheii we shall. take our place as a self-supportiiig, self-contained na- tion, doi_ng.for ourselves what others have heretofore done for usf Out of the havoc and the of the war _there shall arise a greater Empire and a greater Canada. ' The manufacture of toys is but alittle thing, yet the toys heretofore bought for Canadian children -kept innumerable German factories employed. Hence- forward we shall have Canadian toys, maileby Can- adians, 'from Canadian material and the -trlove by the Handicrafts onlin is n beginning. _ir will irimniaie the ingenuity of young Canadians to enter this con- test and 'we trust that ‘Prince Edward' lllhnders will figure ns creditably in this competition as they have in other lines instituted by the Canadian I-Iandiérafts, "GUild¢_° f " ‘ _ , 15" " _ - f The Branch at Summerside _valuable prizes to the provided fr? the ajnliifconi-i petitions in Montreal and We ahallnfoatpect tgijiigye the, pleasure of chronicling the some"ifi§iiiii6i‘is' Islander in the competltioitnow entry fee and competliioilfis open to The Secretary of the B»r§plcl'l'at_ prosecution of the war it is well to look forward' to' ._'_“- so matsfielly has duction ith” i _ .

These figures, striking as they are, and almost impossible as they seem, are yet offi- cial, being taken from Pamphlet No. 7, of the Poultry Division, of the Dominion Department of Agricul- rture, entitled, "The Egg and Poultry Situation in Can- ada, with notes upon the-possible effect of 'the war ‘upon the Development of the Industry',", by= W. A- 'Brown, B.S.A., M.S., and can`be verified on applica- 3 tion for the pamphlet to the Publiczqions Branch, Dc- partment of Agriculture, Ottawa. _ ' The statistics giyen in the pamphlet are both phe- have shown such an increase in popularity. At the same time prices g'en'erally have increased and been well' sustained. Mr. Brown does not undertaketo explain the phenomena, but contents himself with proving that it is so and that the increase in every particular is common tio all the provinces. He also gives particulars of- impprts of _poultry into Great Britain, which iii 1913 atiiounted in value to $5,411,- 684, of which Russia supf>lied_$l,64O,923, the United States $999,890, Austria-Hungary $470,767, Italy $410,902, China $219,472, _Egypt $130,300, Holland $121,739, Belgium $108,268, Norway $68,960, Ger- many $58,o05 and Canada, seemingly, nil. From the foregoing figures and the general condi- tion of ‘things in Europe`,` Mr. Brown arrives at the c0n_clusion,that Britain _will this year be short of eggs and poultry to the amount of a million and a lialfof dollars, or of eggs alone to the .rum of one liundredj million dozen. Every Island producer should endea- vour, therefore, to produce this year more and better _, f ` RECRUITING l While the work of recruiting is going on quietly amongst us and our young men are one by one re- _ sponding to the call, and while, also, we are_complain- ing of the slowness with which they are 'coming in, we lose sight of the almost incredible military operations that have taken place in Canada during the past four- teen months. Already-82,443 officers and men have been recruited, equipped and sent overseas and-with- 1 in a few weeks the number will have been increased to over 1o'o,oo0.‘ In addition to these there are on I - ~With allour reasons for conlplaint, however, it will be,admitted that Canada as a whole, has done marvellous things in the part she has playedin the war. The work of equipping, making uniforms, mobilizing, providing tents, food,_ etc., was a gigantic undertak- ing, the_ full meaning of which is not easily appreciat- ed. It_ isfworth noting, as remarked by- Sir Robert Bord`e'ri in a recent reference to the subject that _al- ready.__»Canada has sent many more men to Europe than__Great Britain sent tothe Crimea during what, until- now, was one of England’s greatest wars. _ _ _'Pliers is much yet to be done by the willing, by the loyal ‘and patriotic.
