The choir rendered special Easter music which was much enjoyed. The sermon by our tor, Rev. J. Davidson, was all t gould be desired. We are re- minded that the Way of the Cross leads Home. "On Friday evening last a good- iy number of our young people ourneyed to the home of Mr. and re. Herbert Mitchell, some trav- elling by car, more with buggies and some reverted to the old re- liable lumber wagon, and some walked, but all got there just the same. After all had gathered for the purpose of doing honor to the bride-elect of this week, Miss Ger- trude Mitchell, everyone joined in an hour's merriment with games on the spacious lawn and a few who felt they were too old to run were entertained inside. Follow- ing the games, Miss Mitchell was asked to take the seat' of honor where she was presented with a miscellaneous shower, as a token of the feeling of her many friends fn the community. Following this, a dainty lunch was served. It. 1s with regret we lose Miss Mitchell from our community, Our loss will be some one else's gain, be- fng a faithful worker in the chureh and Sunday School. She carries with her the best wishes Seagrave, vices in the for her future happiness and pros-| perity, Our Sunday School last Sunday was well attended, eighty-six com- ing out to hear what the Young Men's Bible Class had provided in the way of an Easter service, which was well given and much appreei- ated.

Bowden, spent Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. L. Scott. Mrs. James Shortt is confined to her bed through illness. Sunday and Monday would recall to many of the boys who came on Easter Sunday eleven years ago, the day the Canadians covered themselves with glory and brought honor to their native land in the taking of Vimy Ridge. While to some it was only one of the many Easter Sundays, and to others it was one never to be forgotten, one full of anxiety and hope. One of- ten feels and wonders why there is such animosity -towards the ones that went through what they felt was only a sense of duty, Where have all the buttons gone? It is because of the feeling of the peo- ple towards ome who wears them that others have discarded them. At a banquet held in Toronto last September it was noticed by some of our boys that among the seven hundred veterans, very few were wearing buttons. Maybe it is their modesty over deeds well done as at Vimy Ridge and elsewhere. Those that have loved ones left over there will never forget, others should not.

But the recent statement of a piano company that all exsit- ing records in the piano business had been broken by the sale of $108,000 worth of pianos in one day proves the contrary, The same prediction was made when the player-piano and the phonograph made their debut, but this extra- ordinary one-day sale of pianos in- dicates otherwise, Ce PRODUCT OF GENERAL M ; VTEC var his fediuses dink influsnes you in consideration of a car; beauty, performance, com- fort, smoothness, safety, handli- il economy!

U.S. AUTO PRICES TO BE CUT 3 PER CENT IF TAX ELIMINATED Washington, April 14.--Automobile manufacturers have agreed to reduce auto prices three per cent if n- gress repeals the three per cent Federal auto tax, Roy Chapin, president of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce, told the Senate finance committee Wednes- ay. "The automobile tax is a needless super-tax on a class of citizens who are now paying more than a fair share of state and local taxes," Thomas P. Henry, president of the American Automobile Association, told the committee. Senator Reed, Pennsylvania Re- publican, took issue with the manu- facturers' representatives and charged that the public was not always giy- en the benefit of reductions. Reed said Henry Ford collected $25,000, 000 annually in {freight rates which were never paid by him. He explain- ed that Ford shipped cars from in- termediate assembling plants and then charged full freight rates from Detroit. Senator Couzens, Michigan Repub- lican, a former partner of the auto manufacturer, defended the practice and said it was justified as Ford hag to meet the cost of maintaining the assembling plants. The ancients believed that kiss- ing a pretty girl was a sure cure for headache. After all there fs Paris, April 12.--From the lips of Empress Eugenie of France, who obtained the story direct from the Empress of Austria, comes fin- ally the official explanation of the famrous "Myerling death mystery," in which the Crown Prince Ru- dolph of Austria-Hungary, and his lovely mistress, Marie Vetsera, were concerned. The tragedy oc- curred in 1888. Maurice Paleologue, a veteran French diplomat and personal friend of the widow of Najoleon IIT, is publishing his convarsa- tions with her in a French review. The conversations, for the most part, consist of revelations to be published only after her death. Re- garding the Myerling affair, she sald the Crown Prince's mother in- formed her there was no doubt Rudolph and his mistrass died in a suicide pact. According to this version, the Emperor Francis Joseph told his son he must break with Marle Vet- sera or be disinherited. Rudolph ob- tained permission to see his sweet- heart for the last time. They met at the Prince's hunting lodge at Myerling, outside Vienna. There the Prince informed his mistress of his father's unalterable deci sion. She said: "I, too, have something to tell you. I am about to be a mother. Let's end it all. Let's die in each other's arms tonight. God will have pity on us." : In a fit of despair, Rudolph kill- ed his mistress. He placed her body undressed on the bed and covered it with flowers. Then he sat down and wrote to the Empress Elizabeth: "Dear mother,--Something has happened to make it impossible for me to live any longer, I have killed somebody." At six o'clock the next morning he put a bullet into his brain. The Prince's valet, unable to gain admittance to the apartment, called in two friends of the Crown Prince, Prince Philip, of Coburg, brother of King Ferdinand of Bul- garia, and Count Hoyos. They en- tered by placing a ladder against the outside wall. They found the bodies and the prince's last note. With the letter they sped to Vienna and informed the unbending Em- peror what had occurred. He swore them both to secrecy. Neither ever spoke of the tragedy again, BUDGET BROUGHT DOWNINP.E. I Deficit of $15,800 for Cur- rent Fiscal Year Es- timated Charlottetown, P.EI, April 14-- A deficit of $15,890 for the current fiscal year was estimated by Premier Saunders in the budget brought down in the Provincial Legislature Wednesday night. The estimated rev- enue for the year is $815000 and the estimated expenditure $830,890. Premier Saunders referred to the de- ficit last year of $159,000 and de- clared this had been the responsi- bility largely of the late Government which held office seven months of the last fiscal year. He prophesied that within four years, if his Gov- ernment remained in office, the en- tire public debt would be liquidated and the budget would show a sub- stantial surplus, No reduction of taxation was pos- sible, the premier said, owing to the heavy expenditures to be made on highways and public works, and the intention next season to deal exten- sively with the tuberculosis prob- lem, He expressed a hope that there would be an increase in sub- sidies from the Federal Government. Strong Objection The Government measure author- izing the expenditure of half a mil- lion dollars on highway equipment, and increasing the tax on gasoline from three to five cents a gallon, has not yet passed through all stages of the House, although introduced early in the session, It was up for consideration Wednesday aiternoon i SANTOS Vi | nd Ll D. J. BROWN 10 KING STREET WEST PHONE 189 wie and the Opposition members object- ed strongly to the increased tax on gasoline. Opposition members also spoke against the purchase of 25 new road making machines as an ex- travagant and unnecessary more. Government members pointed out that with a machine placed in every highway district the expense and wear and tear in moving machinery would be eliminated while it would be possible for the highways depart- ------ -- ment to keep the roads at a high standard of efficiency so necessary if Prince Edward Island was to share in the tourist trade. The debate was adjourned. The race horses of Harry Sinclair have been barred from Maryland tracks. It is beginning to look, too, as if. Sinclair has been barred for life from jails in the country.~Hams« ilton Spectator.
