&_ CONTINUED NEGLECT i

Complaints are still being received

from visitors and local m0t0riSi~S 55 lo the disgraceful condition oi’ cer-

tain sections _of the Borden-Chariot-I

tetown highway. The neglect of this; important road, in view of the pressy comment earlier in the season and the fine Weather which has prcvail-

ed. is absolutely inexcusable. The' road between Bonshaw and Crapaud

Ls reported to be particiilarly bad. Some sections of this highway have too evidently not been touched all

season. In other sections, where thc

road drags have been used after rain,

they are perfectly .smcotli and (level. The bridge at North River corner has been neglected and is now re-

ported in be actually dangerous to traffic. Visitors have lndignantly asked

whether there is A Department of

Public Works in the Province. They itate that while they do not expect io see nrst class roads all over the Island, they do expect the Govern- ment to be sufficiently interested in the main highway between Borden

md the provlricial capital as to keep it in decent condition. `

Keeping the roads in good condl-i lion' should include some means of'

allaying the dust. nuisance, which owing to increased motor traffic is

becoming more and more a problem

on our provincial highways. It was announced earlier in the season that

the Government purposed experi-

menting with a chemical preparation to lay the dust, and no doubt many

such preparations are available. At

present, owing tothe continued dry weather, the condition is becoming -serious. ~

BRINGING TliEl\I HOME

New Brunswick has now a Repat-

riation Commissioner at work in the

New England States, under supervis- ion of the Commissioner of Immi-

gration and Industry, in an endeav- or to restore to New Brunswick farms those who have left the Pro-

vince to settle in New England. There

are many former Islanders there who

might also be induced to come home. if they could be convinced that their ‘native Province hasran opportunity of sharing in the general prosper-

ity which has been predicted for the Maritimes. New England mills have

'taken too many of our farm workers

away from the soil, and their place cannot be satisfactorily filled by emi-

grants, even if we~had a steady flow of emigrants and a properly organ- ized emigration bureau to look aft- or them, which we have not. De-

pressed conditions in the textile trade have already sent some Can- adians back home. The New Bruns-

wick government agent may be able to convince others that happiness

and prosperity await them on farms north of the line. The movement will

be watched with a sympathetic in-

terest here, where the statistics show I. continuing decline in population in sad contrast to the increase re-

corded in every other province in Canada..

THE PRAIRIES HARD BIT

Reports from the Prairie Provinc-

es indicate n. serious condition owing

to the long continued heat and

drought which will react unfavorab- ly on the wheat crop this year. The situation, says the Manitoba Free

Press, while very rare, is not unpre- cedented. Old-timers in southem Manitoba remember the summer of

1886 when the temperaturfe went to

103 and 104 degree. In July, 1914, the

mercury went to 107 in south central Manitoba, and in August it

rose to 105.,

Alberta has, on an average.

nearly as much rain from the

middle of May to the end of August as do the provinces of Ontario and

Quebec during those months. But there is great variation in Alberta in different seasons. The summer

tempemtures in the Peace River and

up on Lake Athabaska are almost as high as in central and southem A1-

berta. Hence, with the longer days i.ri the north, there is said to be more rapid

growth. The 'same is true of the nor-

thern parts of Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The meteorological re-

ports that were kept at Port Nelson

showed frequent temperatures over, 70 degrees and occasionally over 80.

Saskatchewan, in an average year,

gets 15 to 18 inches of rain, 60 per

cent. of which falls in the growing seasons. But something hasaffected the supply this year. There is great

summer heat-many places register- ed 100 degrees or over, last week-and frequently there are violent dips in the temperature in early June and late August and damage from frost.

The present weather in western

Canada ls described as the "worst

possible" for wheat growing, and ls taking daily toll of the fields that have yct withstood the heat and

drought of the past few weeks. Eastern and northwestern Saskatche-

wan and the eastern half of Alberta are reported as suffering 'the worst.

there being "nothing left" of the wheat crop in these areas. The ex- pected yield iof 225 million bushels for the three westem Provinces is

considerably under the yield of rec- ent years.

Notes By The Way

August Iswlth u lnln- It was

the sixth month of the old Roman calendar. when the year began in March and was called Scxtiiis, but was chsnsed to Aulustus in compli' ment to Augustus Caesar of Rome. whose "lucky month" it was, in which occurred many of his most fortunate events. The preceding month of July, originally called Quin- tilts. had already been changed to Julius in honor of Julius Caesar..

H. Napier Moore, editor of Mac-

leaii's in its latest issue tells that few native-born., Canadians return from a visit to England without feel- ing that the folks on the other side, charming as they are, have some rather quaint notions concerning this country .and its inhabitants. '

The fact seen-is to be that most

Britishers who have not seen it for themselves are suspicious of this ter- ritory. .

As children they were taught frightening things abount Canada. Their fears are now being confirmed by their own children who are being taught even more amazing things about the Dominion in the text books which they read. As for in- stance, that in winter trains don’t bother with the Victoria Bridge when entering Montreal. The rails are just laid across the frozen St. Lawrence making it very convenient, and a lot more information like that.

President Hoover .devoted one-

quarter of his inaugural address to the subject of law enforcement. which all must admit is a timely and important one in view of the condi-, tions existing in his country. Among! other things he said:

"Our whole system of selfgovern-

ment will crumble either if officials elect what laws they will enforce, or citizens elect what laws they will support. The worst evil of disre- gard for some law is that it destroys respect for all law. If citizezns do not _like a law, their duty is to dis- courage its violation their right is openly to work for its repeal." It seems quite obvious that Mr.

Hoover was thinking mainly of the 18th Amendment. But he rightly points that the whole observance of law hangs together, and this is equal- ly true in Canada and the United States.

Marriage and divorce are equally

easy in Russia, according to Maurice Hindus in The Readers Digest. Cou- ples may live together at their pleas- ure 'without registration. 'I‘he gov- ernment does not bother them, and friends do not ostraciso them. If their union has been registered, and they desire to separate, all they have to do is to "write themselves out" and they are then free to make other alliances as they please- The separated ones usually remain friend- ly, Mr. Hindus writes ;they lend each other money and they frequently re- marry. _

Divorces vary in frequency

in different parts of Russia, Their official statistics show something like ten marriages to one divorce for the whole country, but in Moscow there are as many divorces as marriages.

"Cormpnnt fishing," that is, us-

ing trained cormorants to catch fish, has been carried on during centur- ies past and down to the present time in Japan. It is engaged in both as a sport and for commercial pur- poses. A writer in the London Times

tells how the fishing is - done, at night by t,he light of great cages of blazing pine knots suspended over the bow of each boat to attract the fish. .

The writer, Major General Palmer,

wlis of seeing seven boats, each with four men, engaged in this fishery. In the_bow stands the master hand- iingno fewer than 12 trained birds with amazing skill. Amidships is another fisher with four birds. Each cormorant wears at the bass of~it.s neck a metal ring, tight enough to prevent marketable fish from pas- sing below it, but at the same time loose enough to let the smaller fish pus through to feed the bird. when a bird is gorged with fish

in its throat it is taken in, relieved of its load and returned to the wat-

er. The oormorlntl greatly enjoy the mhlng. They are trained when quite young. and will work well up to 15 or I0 years of age. But the fishing season only luis ave iilont.l'uofthOy¢tf.lndth¢oo|\of Nitin! oaths is s ur-

self, but who will receive the acc- ond vote? The answer ,in Rhodea' opinion was clear: #Tho Entllsh speaking man. whether British. Am- erican. Auatraiim. or South African. is the type who does now. and is like- ly to continue tp do in the futura. the most practical effective work to , establish Justice. prvmcio liberty. and to ensure peace over the widest possible area. of the planet."

Though Rhodes, like other great

ldealists, combined in his Parsons! delaings autocracy with sympathy and ruthiessriess with generosity, he , was primarily interested in civiliza- tion, not Empire. He worked pas- sionately for the expansion of the British Empire in Africa and for its imity. because he believed passion- ately in its clviiizing mission. 1-is be- lieved in the union oi' the English- speaking people because he was con- vinced that they had it in their power to make justice, liberty, and peace cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. That he was no rac- ialist is proved by his lifelong maxim that Dutch and British must work together on equal terms in Africa and that the solution of the native problem was recognition oi' the prin- ciple of “Equal rights for every civ- ilized mah,” and by his inclusion of Germany in his scholarship system in the hope “that an understanding between the three strongest Powers will render war impossible, and edu- cational ties make the strongest ties."

After writing will after will, the

method of promoting his ultimate dreams which he embodied in his sixth and last will was to establish a system of scholarships to enable' selected young men from all parts of the English-speaking world to be educated together in his own old university, in the hope that they would thereby become interested in public questions and as he expressed it, come "to esteem the performance of public duties in after life as their highest aim." His scholars were to be selected by reason of their intel- lectual attainmcnts, their qualities of manhood and moral character. their instincts of leadership and their love of manly outdoor sports. They were t0 be given no special instructions and to be under no obligation as to how they spent their later life.

After 25 Years

The Rhodes Scholarship system

has now been in operation for just over 25 years. There have been elect- ed during that time no fewer. than 1.- 519 Rhodes scholars, 764 from the United States, 698 from the British Commonwealth. and 57 from Ger- many. As the result of additional scholarships created by the trustees the numbers of British Empire and American scholars are approximately equal-viz., 100 and 96 respectively. The German scholarships were stop- ped during the war. It is too early to judge whether the scholarship sys- tem is fulfilling the hopes that Mr. Rhodes entertained for it, for the earlier Rhodes scholars are still only in the “fly forties. But. lt is certain that the Rhodes scholars have made good so far as the university is concerned. Statistical analysis shows that the performance of the Rhodes scholars in the Final Honors School is only slightly below that of ni-itisn scholars and exhibltioners, whose preliminary education fits naturally into the Oxford system, and well Bb0\'@ the averBK° British honors man. Their successes in the athletic field are well known. Though the process of adjustment to the social life of the college often takes a. little time, there is no foundation fel- the often - expressed statement g that Rhodes scholars do not associate eas- ily and on friendly and equal term.;
