There may be too much OF a good
thing. Aroostook county's potato crop
this year is estimated at $4,000, 900 bush
els. an increase of about 100000 bush
els over last year. Potato planters, al
though offering high wages, are unable
to get a sufficient number of men to
take care of the crop, and shippers are
handicapped by shortage of cars. The
Pressure Isle Star-Herald says:
BY reason of very serious and con.
tnuous shortage OF cars TOT the use VI
potato shippers, they have been obllged
to largely curtail operations within the
last two weeks, with the result that
many orders are cancelled and the po-
tatoshipping business practically at a
standstill throughout the county, ana
this in the flush of digging when 1t IS
desirable. and almost necessary, that
good part of the crop should be hauled
direct from field to shipping station.
Of all the ten shipping months Septem-
Der and October are regarded as Inc
most favorable for heavy movement,
especially so, as any common box car
NAV be used; and, indeed, unless relle1
is offered from some source soon, heaVy
loss is likely to result from freezing, as
it is estimated that not one-half OF the
CROP can be safely housed within the
county.
Certainly let the good work 60 on,
the good work of discovering any er-
rors and clearing up any doubts that
may arise as to election results. Wheth-
er that work benefits in the end one

certain the will Of the people as ex-
pressed at the ballot box, and to see

The Journal says amen to that. 1t is
HOW and has been for more than quar-
ter of d ceutury-the writer cannot tes-

the state, and the position of the Re
publican party endorsed.
