Good and Bad
Wheat cutting in this " district is
general. Much of it, in fact, is al-
ready in the stook, but there is no
general or decided opinion as to the
yield.
One farmer in this office on Sat-
urday afternoon declared that al-
though his wheat was all down and
had to be cut one way, it was a bum-
per yield of excellent quality.
Thesame evening we were inform-
ed by another farmer that his wheat .
stood well, but was mere chicken
feed in quality.
Both were honest and practical
opinions and both were right. The
situation seems to be pretty much
that way over the whole -county.
Whole townships are good; whole
townships are bad, while in between
there are townships where the wheat
is both good and bad.
Hot weather and rust are given as
the cause of the failures and there
is no doubt but that the latter has
laid its blighting hand on many
fields. One look at some fields is en-
ough to show that.
Where the results vary so widely
with the location, it is hard to form a
general estimate, but on the whole,
we believe the wheat yield and qual-
ity will both be good.
One thing is certain. There may
be a divided opinion as to the heads,
but there is 'no division about the
straw. It is all there and it is good.

No Cause for Worry
The result of the recent election in
the Province of Prince Edward Is-
land seems to be giving the people, as
well as the politicians of the rest of
the Dominion, a great deal of worry,
if not foreboding, if one is to judge
by the continued newspaper comment
upon it.
The situation, of course, is unusual,
if it does not create a precedent. The
election was a straight party fight
between Conservatives and Liberals,
and not only was the Conservative
Government defeated, hut out of a
House of thirty members, thirty Lib-
erals were elected, which means that
there will be no opposition party.
As we say, the situation is unus•
ual, but we fail to see in it any cause
for worry or alarm on the part of
the people of Prince Edward, or the
people or politicians in the rest of
Canada.
Rather do we believe it may prove
a worth while experiment. By the
result of the election the people of
the Island have placed their new
Premier, Mr. W. M. Lea, pretty much
in the same position that a private
company or corporation places its
President or Managing Director.
In fact the new Premier is placed
in an even more favorable position
than he would enjoy under private
employment. He has been placed at
the head of an old and established
business—one that is well oiled and
well staffed, and has no competitors.
For capital he has at his back the
resources of the whole Province. He
has a free hand in the selection of
his .fellow Directors, who will head
the different departments of provin
cial business, over which he has com-
plete supervision.
The new Premier's responsibilities,
of course, will be great, but no great-
er than those of the head of any
other large corporation, and with
,,this advantage, that he wilI be free
tont `all dictation and interference.
t hider these circumstances,' and
most favorable ones, if Mrd

Lee can show, at the end of his four
or five years of management, a bal-
anced budget, reasonable taxation
and can point to a prosperous Prov-
ince, there is no question of doubt but
that he will receive, as dividends, the
votes of the people and be returned
to power.
If not, he will be defeated, and in
defeat he will4have no alibi. Both
his successes or his failures will be
of his own making, and his alone.
In the meantime, and for the next
four years, if the Province of Prince
Edward Island does not benefit as a
result of its recent election decision,
it will not, at least; be permanently
injured or bankrupted, and' the ex-
periment will be watched with the
keenest interest by the other Prov-
inces of the Dominion.

No Work, No Relief
Premier Hepburn's recent an-
nouncement that all able unmarried
men who refuse to work on farms or
anywhere else, will be cut off relief,
is timely, if not a little over due.
Relief, as now administered, has
come to the point where the taxpay-
ers of the Province can no longer af-
ford to pay it, and a showdown had
to come.
If there was no work available, the
situation would be different. But'
there is work available, and in the
country districts, plenty of it.
Farmers are going up and down
the streets of the towns and villages
trying to secure labor for harvest op-
erations and most of their seeking is
;n vain.
Compared with the cities, ' the
number of unemployed single mere
in the country is small, but they are
to be found there as well. Able, but
most unwilling to work:
Farm labor is not easy, nor does it
pay high wages. But it is honest
work and it is available. Even the
most unskilled can learn it. Our
pioneer history is evidence of that
fact, and even if the able unemploy-
ed single men do not choose to maks:
of it their life work, it will provide
a living and a good living until other
work is available.
Premier Hepburn is right. No
work, no relief. We believe too, that
-there is little, if any truth, in the
statements that are being broadcast
from the larger centres: that unem•
ployed single men are justified in
their refusal to accept farm work
because farmers are taking advant-
age of the unemployed situation, and
exploiting such labor.
If a man is willing, no matter how
unexperienced he may be, he will
nave little trouble with the farmer.
'The wages, in•comparison with other
labor, may be small, but it should not
be forgotten that the returns the
farmer receives from unskilled labor
are, in many ca*sgs, even smaller.
while good board and good lodging
are thrown in.
Still Thep Come
A despatch from Winnipeg under
date of July 25th, says:
"Three Kansas City tourists, who
registered here to -day, were prepar-
ed for Winnipeg's famed cold wea-
ther. They carried winter over-
ciats and a supply of winter under-
wear, and asked, as the city swelter-
ed in a heat wave, how far do we
have to go before we need these
coats?"
That is not a single instance in a
single year. Already at Niagara
Falls and Montreal other American
tourists have crossed into Canada
bringing . with them not only over-
coats and underwear, but snowshoes
and skiis as well.
It is the same every summer and
Canadians marvel, as well they
might.
Perhaps there is no nation on the
face of the globe, whose citizens are
so well versed, if not steeped in the
history of their own country. •
Perhaps there is no nation on the
face of the globe, whose citizens are
so ill-informed, if not ignorant, of
the climate, customs and history of

those same United States, even when

across an imaginary boundary line
from their own country.

SKETCHES FROM A
FARM HOU E KITCHEN
No. 4—On Sleeping Out Nights
By Mrs. Paul Doig.
There are 'almost as many different
kinds of sleeping out as there are
days of the week. There is the 'kind
indulged in by the fellow on, a "ben -
dee when he rolls under some shrub-
bery in the park. There is the- kind
we indulge ins-eccasionally--+when
we are at war with all our little
World and we feel that no ten -room-
ed house 'i5 big enough to bald! both
ourselves and the other inmates. •
But the most eonrnnon variety is
when the temperature of the upstairs
!bedrooms is about the same as that
of a dry killn or bakery, and we feel
with Byron that it is a case of "no
sleep 'till •m'orn" unless we can get
outside where even a hot breeze is
better than no breeze at all, So a
pi•ilaw and coverlet is snatched up
and we head cut to the old sofa un-
der the maple tree 'on the lawn.
If there is a moon nearing the full -
with a few clouds floating across it
occasionally, so much ;the better. We
looked at the moon for almost an
hour not Tong ago, trying to. recall
different poe•mss we had read' about it
and the 'only- ones we could' think of
were two learned in school:
"And it shone on distant Bingen,
Fair Bingen on the thine."
The other was:
"That breed maiden with white fire
laden,
Whom, mortals call the moon."
.We can remember shedding copious
tears. over the former but the latter
—well, we were twenty-five years old
:before "that orbed maiden" made any.
sense at all.
The peasants in Italy believe that
sleeping in the moonlight will drive
teen mad. It has the opposite effect
:on us. We majr go outside into the
mo onli g(ht fe'eJing "mad," but half
an hour' under its beneficent beams
and we are soothed, comforted and
'at peace with the world. So much
for these superstitions. •
The cattle are always interested
in the outd'o•or sleeping at our place.
The maple tree under which the od.d
Sofa is placed is right at the fence
between the lawn and the pasture
field, 'and about 11:30 'pm,. the cattle
wander u:p from the creek bottom
where they have been masticating
bull -rushes and 'breathe heavily in
one's face through the strands of
barbed wire. Not se good.
The m;osquitoee have been remark-
ably well-behaved thisi year coneider-
ing the amount of rainfall, and it is
only on ;stall wendlesis ntightts that
they leave the creek and come up
around the house and lawn. And
then a smudge of dry grass or leaves
is enoug4h to make outdeerrs quite
liveable.
iWle have often noticed how sounds
that are indistinguis'halble in the day
time stand out so plainly at night. A
dig barks over on the next conces-
sion :and our pup answers back like
a faithful eoho. . The late express
puffs noisily in and out of the sta-
tion three-quarters of ;a;• mi'Ie away,
and where the wood'1'ot is thinnest
the lighted windows of the cars' can
be glimpsed' occasionally through the
trees. On the highway through the
eillage we can hear the auto'moliles
rip noisily along, but to ue in the
country it means less than nothing.
Let 'em rip!
The fireflies are back with us. Jolly
little 'bugs. In late spring and early
summer scores of them dark back
and forth over the marshy ground of
the creek (bottom. One :mearbrable
evening an adventurous members of
the firefly family settled on a blade
of grass not over two feet away from
Seven Past. Seven Past held has
breath:. •
'Gosh, Mum; don't scare him."
There he sat, and' now we saw him
and now 'we didn't. He night have
been there yet .if •Soonibe-Nine hadn't
become too curious about how he
worked his 'lit'tle lantern and tried
to catch him:
:We must look up "firefly" in the
Public Library on our next trip to
town. The only encyclopaedia we
have in - this house is dated 1866 and
is tucked away in the attic. • Any-
way, they will have discory ered a lot
about fireflies since ;then. The dic-
tionary says: "a winged insect that
emits light at night." Huanph! Any-
body knbivs that. What we want to
know is where' does he get the 'Fight
to emit?
IIt, might be mentioned in closing
that the springs of the old sofa have
long since given ,place to plain boards
and those •boards get very, very hard

S. S. LESSON FOR AUGUST 4, 1935
Lesson Topic—Josiah (A Religious
Reformer).
Lesson Passage—H Kings 23:1-5,
21-23.
Golden Text—Matthew 4:10.
Josiah, king of Judah, was put on
the throne, at the age of eight years,
by the people, who frustrated the de-
signs of his' father's murderers. He
reigned for thirty-one years (B.C. 641-
609). The account of his reign as
given in Kings and Chronicles tells
nothing of his early history or of the
influences under which he grew up.
The narrative in Kings begins with
his repair of the temple in the eigh-
teenth year of his reign, and that in
Chronicles with the beginning of his
destruction of idolatry in the twelfth
year. During the repairing of the
temple, which apparently had not
been made since the days of Jehoiada
the priest as recorded in II Kings,
12th chapter, the book of the law was
found in the house of the Lord by
Hrlkiah, the priest. He gave it to
Shaplharn the scribe, who read it be-
fore the King. The King was se ter-
rifie'd'iby the "book," Preirbably Deuter-
onomy, that he rent his clothes,, and
immediately sent Shaphan and 'three
others to Hu.ldah the prophetess, to
learn the will of the Lord. She re-
plied that the Lord intended to pun-
ish the people for their._long-contin-
ued diso'bedi'ence, according he the
warnings of the book; but, in conse-
quence of Josiah's ready and sincere
humiliation, the strokes. were to be
delayed 'until after 'his' death.
As recorded in to -day's lesson, Jos-
iah, after receiving the message from
the prophetess, gathered together all
the elders of Judah and Jerusalem,'
the priests and tthe prophets, and all
the people, and read to thein the
"book of the law," and with them en-
tered into a solemnt. covenant .to keep
all ifs words: Tien 'began a vigor-
ous cleansing sof the • silty and the
land of all traces of idolatry. The
"high places" were destroyed feint
the northern to the southern, bona -
t.4
),)+`,.eel
clary of the land of 'Israel — from
Geba to Beersheba.
The great work of purification end-
ed. the King returned to Jerusalem,
and celebrated the Passover exactly
according to the "book," so that the
sacred historian says of it: "Surely
there was not holden such a Pass -
o' rr from the days of the judges that
judged Israel, nor in all the days of
the kings of Israel, nor of the kings
of Judah."
The newness to Josiah of the book
of the law need occasion no surprise,
:.either that he heard of it with as-
tonishment, for even he in those days
of idolatry may well have been lit
tle instructed in religion.
Josiah lost 'his ]rife in battle and
his death was the occasion for an
outburst of popular grief so great as
to kec'glne proverbial (Zechariah 12:
11).
In II°thronicles 35:25-27 it is writ-
ten of him: '"Anal Jeremiah lamented
for Josiah: and all the singing men
and the singing women snake of Jo-
siah in their lamentations to this
day, and made therm an ordinance in
Israel: and, 'behold', they are written
in the lamentations. Now the rest
of the acts of Josiah, and his good-
ness, according to that which was
written in the law of the Lord, and
his deeds, first and last, behold, they
are written in the 'book of the kings
bf Israel; and Judah."t-('Condensed

Knowledge) .

Disastrous Fire
The clang'of the fire bell was heard.
here on Tuesday afternoon _when it
was d'isc'overed that Mr. Joe lriamil-
ton's garage was on fire. It seems
that 'Mn. James Scott,' the efficient
acetylene welder, was working on a
job when in some manner a. spark
from" the torch he was using, started
a blaze which made great headway
and only for the presence of .mind of
Mr. Scott in grabbing the tank and
rushing outside with it, which, no
cloi-)bt,, ]averted an e dplosdon which
would have wrecked the whole build-
ing . and probably injured' same of
those around: The firemen respond-
ed very rapidly to the alarm and in
a very few minutes .had streams of
water pouring' on, the flames with
the result that the flames were soon
under control, but not before consid'-
era!ble damage had been done both
to the 'building and 'also to a stock
of im'pleme'nts and repairs owned by
Mr. Doherty, who had part of the
building. The loss is covered' 'by in-
surance. This 'building was erected
in 1899 by the late Messrs. Slater &
Sims, 'being used by them as a 'black-
smith and carriage shop but has' been
used as a garage for a great many

A Real Game
'ball
What
as seen on the diamond' last
Friday evening, when the Mitchell
boys were up and had it out with the
locals. The remarkable feat of the
game was the invincibility 'of the 17 -
year -old pitcher, Albert Heideman,
who kept the 'heavy -hitting Mitchell
bats very silent, only two safe ..hits
were registered in" thea -eight -inning
game played, and the longer he play-
ed the better he seemed to get. We
are i'nde'ed proud of Albert, end he
continues increasing with his deliver-
ies along with'e'onfidence he will make
a real star pitcher in the very near
future. The score at the end of the
game stood 5-1) in favor of the home
team. And 'here's 'good luck to you,
Albert; we appreciate your week.—
