THE POTATO SITUATION IN ARGOS.
TOOK.

Potatoes remain at about the same old
80 cents. Only few are coming, for in
addition to the lowness of price the fact
that the roads have much snow in the
country and none in the village helps to
keep the traffic small. There seems to
be very little prospect of higher prices
before New Years. Even if some kinds,
Green Mountains for instance, are to
bring fair price before winter is gone,
it would seem to be the part of wisdom
to keep working off few potatoes right
along. There is fear if the potatoes
are held to a great extent until along
in the winter, and then rushed in, not
cars enough could be obtained to handle
them promptly and we'll. 1t would be a
great calamity if enough OF our farmers
held back their crops right along SO that
the crop could not be moved to market in
the winter or spring, thus compelling the
grinding of many potatoes for starch.
Then again most Of our farmers have
bills to pay which certainly ought to be
paid and which they must sell potatoes
in order to pay. 1t is not quite safe or
fair to those owed, or to the farmers
themselves, for these farmers to keep
too long, to speculate upon, property
which really belong to others. Doubtless
conservative middle course is the best
keep putting in few potatoes unless
you are SO well fixed financially that you
can pay your bills pretty well without
doing 50. and can get along all right, even
if you do practically lose much Of your
crop in the spring. Fort Fairfield Re-
view.

WANT NEW FISH LAWS.

Seiners and weirmen representing
four coast counties engaged in the sar-
dine INDUSTRY attended meeting of the
Rockland board of trade December 9Th,
when the IL itiative was taken in the
matter of securing radical changes in
fish legislation.
E. M. Lawrence of North Lubec said
the cry of herring determination is an
old one. The herring do not need any
protection, he declared. Maine herring
fishermen, he said, are the poorest on
earth when brought into comparison
with the system in vogue and results OBJ
tanned in other countries. He urged the
State board of trade to use it's influence
in having the legislature appoint a COM
mission that will investigate the matter
scientifically and make needed recon-
mendations.
The value of sardine importations last
year was 2,219, 900, said Mr.. Lawrence.
every cent of this might have been
saved to this country if modern methods
of catching and packing had been used. :"
A resolution was passed asking other
boards of trade to memorabilia the legis-
lature to pass such laws as will encour-
age the sardine industry.

THE WINDOW WISHERS.

The little window wishers, with their tender
eyes of blue,
Standing there before the toy shops, don't
they touch the heart of you?
Don't YOU almost SILVER with them, as their
tattered clothes you see,
The ragged little urchins, with the patches on
each knee?
Can you see them longing. yearning in sweet
childhood's wistful way
And forget them in your planning for merry
Christmas Day?
Oh, the little window wishers. baby hearts and
baby eyes,
With their trusting faith in Santa gazing there
in glad surprise
At the dollies and the soldiers and the Teddy
Bears, believingA
That they will not be forgotten. Can you see
them without grieving?
Can you think of them on Christmas when the
merry morning starts
Disillusioned, waking up to empty stockings
broken hearts.
Oh, the little window wishers, looking longing
ly today
At the wonders in the toy shops in sweet
childhood's wistful way,
Dreaming dreams of Christmas stockings fill
ed with candies and with toys;
Just as full of faith and fancy as your own
girls and your boys.
When you see their big eyes glisten as these
splendid things they view,
Can you rush by and forget them, don't they
touch the heart of you?
