indicate good hay crop, while corn
has not recovered from an early set
back and the yield will be less than
usual. The peach crop is an absolute
failure, and apples and pears are of
poor quality, due to the inclement
spring and the invasion of the trees by
insect pests. The help problem in Mas
sachusetts, as elsewhere in New Eng
land, is bothering the farmers. Good
prices are paid for farm help, but the
men are scarce and few farmers have
their full complement of help. As to
help, this has been the situation in
Maine for some time.
The rumor that the W. L. Douglass
Shoe Company of Massachusetts
thought of locating in Belfast has
seemed to US too improbable to call for
serious attention, and that view has
been confirmed by recent develop
ments. Biddeford investigated the
matter and in response to a letter of
inquiry representative of the COM
pany wrote that they would require a
building 200 to 25o feet long, 40 to As
feet wide, fully equipped to furnish the
power necessary to the manufacture Of
shoes, and electric lighting, rent free,
with abatement or rebate of taxes for
period of years. 1t was said further
that such an offer had already been
received, and the company would like
to know how much more Bidd eford
would offer. This ended the matter SO
far as Biddeford is concerned.
Last week it was our painful duty to
record the death by drowning in Penob-
scot bay of six promising young men,
and this week two more must be added
to the list. July 9th Richard A. Lee of
Bowdoin College, a son of Prof. Lee,
and Franklin Morrison of Melrose,
Mass, sailed from Mere Point in a
sloop yacht for Christmas Cove and
have not since been heard from. A
squall came up shortly after they left
which compelled many other boats in
that vicinity to take in sail. Capt. L.
A. Dixon of South Freeport, who has
been endeavoring to find some trace of
the missing slOop, said to Portland
Express reporter: young Morrison
