Big prices and big crops is the outlook for 1916. That’s why every farmer in the county can afford to bring his family to the big Victoria Day celebration at Picton next Wed. May 24^th, and by so doing give them a day of unequaled pleasure and enjoyment, at the same time aiding an institution that is devoted purely to the farmers’ interests, namely the P. E. Agr. Society, as all profits made on Victoria Day go to swell the prize list for Fall Fair.

The directors of the Prince Edward Agricultural Society were greatly disturbed on hearing that a circus would visit Picton, on Tuesday, May 23rd, a day prior to the Big Victoria Day Celebration, but were greatly relieved however, when an advance agent for a Vaudeville show arrived and tried to make arrangements to erect a tent on the fair grounds for the purpose of exhibiting a small show. As the amount offered for rental was very small, his offer was turned down.

LETTER FROM PTE. ARTHUR KNIGHT.

Trenches, April 28, 1916.

Dear Mother: The boys are all well. I had a letter from Jacob and he says he is well and having a fine time. Tell Annie when Bernard comes over to England to send me his address so that I can write to him. It is so warm and nice that one can sleep right out on the fire step in the day time. It is not very pleasant sometimes, but it is good at others.

There are some big shells flying overhead and one would think they were young freight trains, especially when they say “coroup”, and once in a while you hear shells or bullets whistling, “Home, Sweet Home.” Lee Bongard is in the same bay. He has been having a sleep on the fire step. He says that the lice are an awful bother, and it is a fact, for they are an awful nuisance, especially when one wants to go to sleep.

Your son,
Arthur.
