CANADA WANTS MAINE

If the Daily Guardian, a ncwspa-
per Of Charlottcstown, Prince Ed
ward Island, has it's way. the state
of Maine will sooh be annexed to
Canada. II says in recent arti-
Gle:
"A glance at the map is sufficient
to show that the state of Maine be.
longs geographically to Canada
rather than the United States. :"
The paper points out that the state
OF Maine sticks up from the main
body Of the United States like q
sore thumb, and is right in the way
Of commerce coming from Canada
to the Atlantic.
The union Of the state with
Canada has already been too long
delayed, it says. 1t adds that, of
course, Maine could not go over to
Canada without the consent of her
own people and the United States
which is not likely tn be given

HEAVY FALL IN PRICES

A Chicago dispatch of the 18th
says that millions Of pounds of but
ter, eggs, cheese and poultry held
IN the cold storage warehouses
here will be thrown on the market
before May l and general tumb-
ling of food prices is expected at
once, according to commission
merchants.
Numerous Chicago commission
men are said to be facing
failure as a result Of their efforts
SO maintain an artificial price on
the necessities Of life.
Three commission men failed last
week as the result of holding great
quantities Of butter, which they
purchased at an average price of 81
cents a pound and now are unable
to market for more than q or 20
cents.
While the wholesale prices of
butter and eggs have dropped de-
cidedly within the last few weeks,
there has been no decline in retail
prices.
Much Of the produce to be I'M
loaded on a failing market has been
in the warehouse for as long as five
years.
Thirty-two warehouses are known
to have 44, 900, 900 pounds of butter,
eggs and poultry.
Butter is 6 cents pound lower
at wholesale than it was a year ago
and is selling at the lowest figures
in five years.
An indication of the decline in
the last ten days is shown in the
following:
