SNOWDEN IN ENGLAND Maple Grove Butcher-Farmer Enjoys Lif e in Beautiful Devonshire and Cornwall. Editor's Note: This inter esting article sent us by Mr. W. S. Blank of Plymouth, England, should have reached us in time for our March 2 issue, but delay in transit made it a day too late. Our readers will ob- serve that Mr. Snowden travels with his leyes wide open and very little of importance escapes his attention. ýOne newspaper scribe writes in Orono News in part: Those letters of Mr. S. Snowden, in reference to bis trip to England, are very interestîng and well W~orth perusing. It Ws not everyone who trave&s abroýad that can write interestingly about the country visited, its peoples and cus- toms, but Mr. Snowden is an obser- ver above the average, who'makes bis letters, ail the more interesting, es- pecially to those who cannot get any nearer to those Englîsh places than in reading about themi. Just the samne, may we have more of the samne. Mr. Blank writes from Plymnouth on February 22nd: On/ Friday, Febraury 3rd, 1922, whilst visiting my mother and sister at Keyhani, Devonport, a Canadian, by namne Samuel Snowden of Bowmanville, Ontario, and profession butcher and farmer, paid us a rather surprise vis-, it, although I had heard from his son Lloyd that! he would probably be coxalng across to England shortly. I was only able to remain in bis' good company on that day for a very short time, so promised that next morning 1 would see himi'again and take him through the Plymouth Meat Market which 1 knew would greatly înterest hlm. Saturday nMorning on reaching the saine address, this Canadian cousin of mine, seated in a rocking chair, seemed quite pleased to see me, and in a ver y f ew moments we were'on our way to catch the motor bus to the 'Devon Metropolis Plymouth. Many and varied were the quest- ions hie put to me during this journey of 'about 20 minutes, and I did my best to answer them, 0f course, as in ahl other matters, finance was agreat tbing, and our first businçss was to try to cash one of the drafts hie brougbt witb him frota bis banker in Bowmativille. To do this hie went to Lloyds bank in Bedford St. and after about 10 minutes hie returned with neither draft nor cash, and to crown the whole hie had not even got a receipt for the valuable piece of paper hie had left inside. Evidently hie had more faitb in the bonesty of British people than some of their ownf olk, have, as 1 like a receîpt in aIl such cases. Then to the meat market wbere we saw some large carcases of beef bung up still warm, and many stails where the butchers, dressed either in Mlue or white aprons, were doing their best to get rid of thte few pounds' wortb of meat they had brought from their homes trat môrning. During our conversation with one of the men connected with 'the tradg, I gleaned that they were stili slaughtering. I knew this sight would please my Canadian cousin, so I en- deavoured to get into one of these killing bouses. Meefîng a constable in the vegetable market, (in this country if -you! want to know any- thing ask a policeman) I inquired of bim where the:slaughter bouse was? He replied, "You're too late now to see any killing'". Realizing that the ment man -or the policeman was wrong we marched off to Tavistock Rd., and there saw the very place we wanted, and found that the in- nocent beasts were stili sbedding their blood, and thap there was no ob- jections whatevet to our going in to witness the working -of the bumane kîller. We went from there to the fish barbican, but being Saturday tbe boats were ail anchored to their moorings. 'Plymouth Hoe was our next ob- jective and to get there it meant a liftte climbing and we were well re- paid for the effort on reaching the summit. There we saw Sir Francis Drake's statue, and the Old Smealton Ligbthouse,'and as time was passing %SO fast, we hbad no time to go out on the pier, but with jtust a look at it George L. Tessey, a well-known Buffalo mecbanic, said he bad gain- ed twelve pounds; bis wif e bad gain- ed twenty-six pounds and bis dagh- ter was gaining every day, býy ak- ing Tanlac.

We made our way througb the Castle Park wbere the war memorial stood on which was a great number of names of lads wbo had given their lives for King and Country. Now it was time to return to dinner, and' me 'to be off to work again, return- ing about midnight. N Friday we crossed the patfield I ster's farmyard where we, saw bis stock of Scotch Shorthorns. The cattieman did bis best to show the beasts which were very good, from tbe largest to the smallest, and we went alone to the field to inspect the herd of cows whicb were also of fair qualîty. We visîted the stable and saw tbe two farmn horses and the var- Al ious pens ýof poultry. After a walkbenr of about 300 yards we entered tbe be e wool factory wbere a large number of pitd men and women were worki ng, pre- pîtd paring the wool for the factory in other parts of this country? The W/e f oreman was very good and gave us sacrifiin all the information hie could and es-haefr corted us to most of the rooms, ex- hv is cept to those at the top of the build- ing wbieb were filled mostly with wool in its rougb state.

Mi. train she tool my cousin to Looe-.- a small fishing town on the South Coast and in the summer time a noted q health resort-I cannot describe the! sights on this date, only to say that Cousin Snowden was quite taken up witb bis visit to lovely'Looe. Sunday I quite intended accom-! OSHAV panying my Canadian cousin to churcb in the morning, but instead of doing so left hlm again in charge, of Miss Ada to do so, and 1 did my best at home witb the wife for bis _________ arrivai. In the afternoon 1 took' bim to the picture palace wbere we hold the' brotherhood session, the ad- dress being given by Mr. A. W. L. Husband of Indian Queens, New-1I$ quay, a schoolmaster by profession. One and ail listened attentively to bis address. The soloist was Miss Dor- othy Batten of Merrymeet, and she, gave as ber solo "God shaîl wipe away ahl tears fromn their eyes" in beauti- f ul style. The chairman was, Mr. Pateman of Moorswater and bis open- ing remarks were very fitting. In the evening we attended the Wesley- an Chapel/ where the preacher was our brotherbood speaker, again wbo gave us once more quite a treat. Monday after breakfast my cousin and I paid a visit to the Liskeard Cat- tie Market, but owing to the "foot and mouth" disease, only a f ew fat IBATTL E bullocks and sheep were for sale.

I amn looking forward to another f ew bours: of pleasant talk with him before bie finally says good-bye to cross the Big Pond to his Kith an.d Kmn in the land of bis birtb.
