"Oh, dear" exclaimed Betty when her mamma. called her in from her play to go to the market: "I hate that old dusty road!" "I always thought you enjoyed | marketing,' laughed a merry voice, | and Gocomeback, | hopped off the gatepost beside Bet- the travel elfin, ty. "I thought you liked to things." "I do like to buy," replied Betty, shaking hands with the little elfin, "but I don't liké the long, road we have to travel to get fo our market." "I guess you'd like the market I visited the other day," laughed Go- comeback. \ "Did you have to walk your legs off to get there?" asked Betty. "It seems so terribly long down the road and the sun's too hot tc cut across the hills." "No, the market I speak of is very different--" began Gocomeback, then turning suddenly he caught Betty's hand, and before Betty could ask any questions she found herself sailing through the air beside the elfin. buy How Do You Like It?" When they at last slowed in their mad flight, Betty found herself hov- ering over a floating city Betty had never seen such a beau- tifu] sight in all her life. The sun had | disappeared, and one by ong the col- ored lights began to twinkle among the houseboats that floated on the waters under them, until the whole place looked like a view of Fairy- land. "This is Bangkok, the capital of Siam," said Gocomeback. = "There's the market I wa. speaking about," and he 'pointed to the floating city of twinkling lights, "Bangkok is called the Venice of the East. Huge bamboo rafts are con- structed and lashed together with enormous chains, and houses, shops and even the gardens are built on these rafts.' They sailed cioser, and Betty could get a lovely view of the houses and shops. "I can see there are roads for these Betty. Thousands of tiny canoes bobbed on the water, carrying shoppers from one market stand to another. Betty and Gocomeback settled on one canoe and when the young girl 'who. was paddling the canoe was told why Betty was there, she took Betty in and out the waterways, visiting the different shops unti] Betty's head fairly buzzed with the bewildering things she saw. . Almost everything imaginable could be purchased from these little floating shops, from rice, fish, fruit and flowers down to curios.

SPEAK AT FARMERS' PICNIO ) -- ---- { Provincial Cabinet Ministers Talk to | Prince Edward Farmers, Wellington, Aug. 12.--The farm- [ers of Prince Edward county had a i great day yesterday. at the Sand | Bauks, it being their annual pizric. In spite of the showers that fell in | tha morning, a great crowd, mostly ! travelitng by motor cars, gathered te hear the political speeches, and fo: recrealiou. All the speakers billed were in attendance, and {t was pos- sible for the chairman, R. W. and, to begin on time. SA. P. Macvannell, Agricultural Re- presentative for the county, was first on the programme. He said this was a good opportunity for the farmers to get together to discuss topics in which they were al] interested, as well as a time for recreation, In re- ference to the fall in prices for far- mers' produce, he said nen in other industries have not se:n fit to take their, losses as have the farmers. The department of Agricultural can fal- fil the purpose for which it was formed. . Hon, Nelson Parliament, the next speaker, said he was here to show his appreciation of the Hon. Peter Smith and Hon. Manning Doherty, both real servants of the public of the province of Ontario. The prime minister had shown wisdom in his choice of such men, as they are cap- able amd honest and try © serve the publie, irrespective of party, from the standpoint of national benefit. The Rural Credits Act was now pass- ed, the best thing possible for On- tario, He had advocated it for four sessions in parliament. As to the use of it, farmers can now get long term loans, Prince Edward county is be- hind in the matter of drainage. Loans could be procured for this. Hon. Nel* son Parliament concluded his short speech by quoting "equal rights to all, special privileges to none." The chairman said that the farmers of Prince Edward county are proud 'of their representative in the Jsgisfa- ture, Hon. Peter Smith, Provincial Treasurer, who was the next speak- er, said this was his first visit to Prince Edward county. He was a na- tive of Perth, but in Toronto we are proud of your representative, Nelson Parliament.". He addressed himself to criticisms that were being made about the amount of - money now spent in the province, but when the facts are known they could justify themselves in the government, Ow- ing to trade conditions, it was im- possible to have a surplus. He could defend his method of book-keeping, We don't think we are extravagant, everything wag at its height when we began. There had been increased ex- penditure in the maintainance of in- stitutions. Unfortunately there has been a wave of crime, and of insanity, pass over the land, and it has cost money to cope with, It is only human that we should take proper care of the insane, and of the law breaker. Then there were some election ex- penses which had not been paid, but we have repealed the old Election Act which will reduce the cost to ab- out one-quarter of what it was. The teachers 'and inspectors' sueprannu- atign fund, and its proper working is Now added to the government ex- pendjture. Until last year the prov- ince had not contributed to this. An- other big item was the rate of ex- change existing between us and the United States. This was an interna- tional affair over which we had no control. You cannot blame this on anyone. These, said the Hon, Peter Smith, were things that contributed to our large expenditure and deficit. He then spoke of the floating of loans, and the Hydro Electric Pow- er, and the great expense involved in the Chippawa Canal, We never sold a loan in the province but what was advertised, no criticism can be made against the government for the method of raising the loans, He had the co-operation of all the #§tock bro- kers in the province. The speaker gave a comparative statement of all the loans floated throughout the Do- minion, and said we beat them all, Dominion or Provinciil;- Municipal and Governmental, Another question which is of interest to all is Good Roads. We are going to build the roads, and capitalize the motor ve. hicle license for the revenue, Prov- incial roads will be paid for by motor vehicle licenses so that the man out in the country will not have to pay one cent either for the building or maintaining the roads.

NIlg11 CHASE & SANBORNS OR TEA These are critical' times and eriti- cal conditions prevail right now. During the war there was inflation of prices in all commodities and after the war we all looked for deflation of prices, but we never expected such a drop in the price of farm produce. There was a drop of about fifty per cent, in stock, the same in dairy pro- duce, and in cereals. But the farmer " H.

We are suffering now through a period of unemployment. | especially in large cities, There ex- ists a buyers' strike. We all say pric- es will drop, and we put off cur buy- ing, you borrow one another's mach- inery, etc. The captains of industry have tried to uphold the prices ag- ainst the laws of commerce, and if peoplé will not buy the goods, it creates unemployment with its con- sequent distress, He would say "Take : a. , AAAMMA thing you like served as you Our Restaurant is NEW respect. vr ean Come in and enjoy your meals with us.

We need to discuss these questions in a broad national spirit. In refer- ence to the criticism that the govern- ment was spending too much money, he said w ve took up. office we found some lusty babies on the door step that had to be nourished; such as the Chippawa Canal, which, when complete, wil] be a great benefit to the province. In reference to the criti- cism that this government made ap- pointments by patronage, the speak- er said they looked out the very best men to do the work required, irre- spective of party. In conclusion, Hon. Manning Do- herty spoke of the great benefit the Rural Credits Act would be to sons of Canadian farmers, who would oth- erwise go into the cities as there was only room for one on the fath- er"s farm. Our banking system is good, but it was never meant lo meet the needs of these young men, without capital, and th® very best men for our agriculture, but the sys- tem of long terms loans. loans for twenty or twenty-five years, will give many young Canadians a chance of success, The short term loans will help others to carry over a critical per- iod. The weather conditions were good during the afternoon, but there was a great downpour of rain about § pet m., which made the crowd disperse, and, no doubt, most who attended the farmers' picnic would be home in time for the evening chores and sup- per. ' must have them finished right. " , BABY'S OWN SOAP Cleansing Healin Fragrant vic LEADING DELTA MAN PASSES TO REWARD Had Been Postmaster and Di- vision Court Clerk--Aiso Secretary of Fair.
