s . .

_ In another part of this issue appears the election address of our esteemed repre- sentative for the past five years, Mr. Donald Nicholson. _ . _ .

Mr. Nicholson gives an account of his

stewardship and if that review is charac- terized by anything it is by its modesty. Mr. Nicholson is not given to blowing his own

horn or seeking undue prominence either, Meantime the newspapers have band

here or at Ottawa. He pursues the even tenor of his way keeping ever before_him the highest interests of his province in°_ge-_ neral and his constituency in particular. In the present instance he quietly assures the electors that he is a candidate for a renew'-| al of their suffrages and will continue in the future as in the past to support the win- the-war policy of Sir Robert L. Borden. l

This being the- case the “proper,l natural and logical process of elimination” would result in Messrs Nicholson and Mar- tin being left in the field. Of course in these critical times one never knows what a day may bring forth but as time is fleet-I ing and the date of nomination cannot be_ delayed much longer it would be well for. each of the 'candidates to follow the ex.-' ample of Mr. Donald Nicholson and pub-l lish their election addresses. The electorsf will then know precisely where each stands? and will be in a position to judge whether there be any necessity for what Dr. Fuller-l ton describes as “the turmoil, extravagance, (in money and words) waste and expense” of a contested election.

(‘.\.\'.\h.\'s \'l("l‘0R\' LOAN

Elsewhere in this issue will be found`an|

announcement of the coming Canadian Victory Loan. The loan will be offered in November and the present announcement! is made to give everybody an opportunity to prepare for it so that everybody will have the privilege of participating in an undertaking that will be at once a source' of profit to themselves and of great benefit to Canada. ' _ ' _

There arc few men or women in this`

province who cannot, if they wish, invest at least fifty or a hundred dollars in this loan ;. very many of them can invest manyl times this amount. Besides being a profi- table investment for themselves their con- tribution will» assist in, carrying on the war and in laying foundations for the fu- ture prosperity of the country.

There are many millions of money now

lying in the Savings Bank of this province' bringing interest at three percent. The attractiveness of the Savings Bank and the reason why small investors place their earnings in it, lies in the fact that it is ab- solutely secure. that the Bank is un- breakable. The Victory Loan carries the same attractiveness; its security is the. same as that of the Savings Bank-thel Dominion of Canada. Particulars as to in- terest payable on this loan are not yet an-

ngmunced but will be in good time and w en given it will be found that the inter- est will be considerably larger than that paid by the Savings Banks.

Every person in the province who can'

raise the minimum amount should “salt it down” in this absolutely safe investment and thereby put away a nest egg for- themselves and also help the great cause' for which so many are sacrificing every- thing today. Investment in this loan is not a sacrifice; it is an investment with an

assured high rate of interest.

The loan will be launched in Novemberi

on a scale hitherto unprecedented in Ca- nada It is to be conducted at a mininiuinl

SIZE Ol" 'l`Ill‘] l’lt()\'lN(‘I‘] i

The size of a province, like the size o' an individual, is not measured in feet an( _ inches, but indeeds. By this measuremen' ` Prince Edward Island is the largest of thi 1 maritime provinces, at least in man-_‘ respects, although not so showi on th_e map. According to a bulletin re cently issued by the Census and Statistic. Office the output of cheese for 1916 foi i Prince Edward Island was 2,121,761 pounds; for New Brunswick l,185,66f pounds; for Nova Scotia 94,725 pounds.

As dairying is the foundation upoi

which agricultural prosperity must bi built Prince Edward Island will hold thf

dairying. Unfortunately, at present, hel] ' is exceedingly scarce and dairying requir es considerable help. Our dairying in re cent years has not increased as it should nevertheless the herds should be maintain- ed, and the general dairying business kep

upperinlost on the farms. Farm help wil 1 be avai able after the war; we shall havc;=__`_ many of our own men back and we`sha_lgt have also a large immigration from Etif rope of which we shall receive our share if _ we prepare -»for it. The dairy output-;o_f"` this province can easily be doub ed or quadrupled and with its increase lall f other profitable lines of agriculture will also be increased. "

od' the harness all right and after '»i little pi-.tctlsc wore lt like ono to the niannci' born. Wlhen he had his les- son well learned he boldly present- ed hliiiuclf before the medical hoard for examination. The man of fiied- lcinc asked tho usual questions as .to how long he had been wearing the truss and _was told “four years." He was passed Class "E" which_ls next door to incurable. and left the_ioom a happy man. Outside he met an eq- unlly brave cbum, to whom be told what had happened, and boasted how oaslly he fooled the doctor. The lrlciid borrowed the truss' and soon returned to the recruiting station all dolled up and having* the utmost con- fidence ln his ability to get away with tho little stunt he had plannedz When he stripped for the examinat- ion the niodlcal man’s practised oye

The would-bo trickster almost fell through tho floor. “What sort of n soldier do you think a .ruptured man wlll make?" he called out with fi look that was intended to wlther the medical examiner. “How 'long have you been wearlng that truss?" iisked' tho doctor as he looked straight into the eye ol’ the thorough- ly angered young man. "Four years." was the unabashed reply. "Then lt's about time you learned how to ad- just lf. correctly." was the cutting re- tort, and the badly-fooled. trlckstor sluuk outside and' now lt lsn't safe for one to say "truss" when he ln
