Game We See When We Have No

II is 20 difficult TO write on a topic
of which one is totally ignorant that
our sympathy goes out to the Boston
editor who learnedly discusses the
potato question. An idiotie news
item was sent broadcast from north
ern Maine, the other day, and through
haste and earelessness, caught the
news men, far and wide. But the
spectacle of an editorial writer calmly
making over an erroneous news para
eraph into an editorial, assuring his
readers that between 14,0o0,oOo and
$4,000, 900 bushels" of Areestook po-
tatoes at So a "bushel,r are worth
..between 1861 600 and $1S0O,0oo," is
the prize bull Of the season.
And even the news report didn't
tell the people that Aroostook pota-
toes had averaged 81 @bushel," but
81 a barrel
In a 1s,oQo,eOo bushei surplus II
would be safe to figure a.454,545 bar
rels, or two bushels and three peeks
per barrel. And 5,454.s45 barrels. at
81 barreb would amount to $lo,-
100000.
Again. just how Boston editorial
writer, went about getting si.65o,o0o
or sl.Soo,00o for a i4,ooo.oo0 or IT,
900 900 bushel crop at So barrel
even if he has not mistaken barrel.
for bushels, puzzles the mathemati-
clans.
Other statements in the same edi-
torial are just as ridiculous. especial
~ those relating 10 yield in various
states.

The Campaign Ahead.

ii is generally understood in Show
hogan, Representative Gould's home
town, that the congressman will keep
mighty ,9pup on the rum question.
The real rum supporting centers in
the Third district are few and small,
and In Gould's own county they have
no use Tor ii. Even some of the
well known Democrats are leading
temperance men ANA they believe in
prohibition and law enforcement.
But over in the Second district the
genial Daniel ]. can be more out
spoken; indeed Representative Me-
GillIcuddy may be expected to lend
voice to denuneiation of prohibitory
law and in justification Of nullifica
ton. He viii undoubtedly uphold
his law partners edict Of "reguIa :

TO McGinlcuddy admirers that the
wave Of crime in Lewiston is due tC

And Senator Gardner; why he viii

to say much Of anything about rum

| The immediate Congressional cam
paign, as far as Maine is concerned,
pertains to those two districts in Cen
itral Maine and to the United States
Isenatorship, but Democrats say there
will be diversion in the first and
fourth Congressional districts, Their
candidates for Congress in those dis
tricts win be urged to wage a fun
fedged battle for whatever help 1t
may give on the general result and in
behalf of other candidates. The
situation is so desperate for the
Democrats in that regard they want
to put on every possible ounce of
power.
AS far as the Maine Democratic
Congressman are concerned, they will
have apparently to talk state issues
in the main. There is mighty little.
except in a general way that they can
argue in the way of national issues
and almost nothing as to what has
been accomplished for Maine during
the ed Congress. The Maine Demo-
cratic brethren have not been identi-
fed with any particular legislation at
the Capitol Senator Gardner has
made a squirt toward the taking over
by the federal government of express
and for a larger parcels
post, than the Democratic House
voted. The agricultural appropria-
ton bin has just gone through the
Senate 1t is the one measure of any
particular Importance with which
Senator Gardner had anything to do.
However he did not show his hand in
the proceedings and the bill came out
of the committee without having any
provision that he particularly cham
pioned The agricultural appropria-
ton bill is essentially a farmers bill
and that is where Senator Gardner
migth have been expected to come out
strong.

If experience in the halls of ma
tional legislation counts, the slow
climbing of the ladder which leads to
renown-if the rung- by-rung way
from the very foot of the stairway to
near the top--if these qualities count
for anything, here in Maine-then the
progressive career of Edwin C. Bur
leigh in the national House should en-
title him to whatever is best within
the bestowal of Maine voters He
has been an unauestioned Republican
from his boyhood. He was fed upon
the doctrines of Charles Sumner,
Hannibal Hamlin and Abraham Lin
coin. He was never bolter from
the convention nomination. The
party was always far better to him
than any man within the party lines.
Like LaFollette of Wisconsin, ht
never betrayed or tried to betray the
interest of any party nominee. He
has often joined in disputes and
wrangles within the party lines, but
he has never dreamed of getting out
side of the party lines. Like Gen;
erals Young, Greedy and many other
priyates within the ranks, he has
risen higher and higher until now.

best which Maine has to bestow

of the near future. The old wood
room has stood and served since the
building of the original plant and the
development has exceeded the ac-
commodations. The new wood room
will be of brick and concrete con-
struction with steel frame, covering a
ground surface of 100x60 feet, and will
be one story high. 1t is estimated
that the cost of the new building will
be between $4,000 and $4,000.

CELEBRATES s7th BIRTHDAY.
Amos T. Fisher, Mexican War Vet
eran, Passes Another Milestone.

Amos T. Fisher, one of the oldest
citizens of Alexandria and prominent
in its history for three quarters of a
century, is today celebrating his S7th
birthday and is receiving the hearty
congratulations of his many friends
upon the passing of another milestone.
in his life. Mr.. Fisher was born IN
Occoquan, October Ord, 1925. He
moved to Alexandria n 1912 and has
made this city his residence ever since
with the exception Of the time that he
spent on the west coast. He is Mex
lean war veteran and the sole survivor
of the S5 men who left Alexandria to
join in that contest. He was one OF the
first settlers of San Francisco having
spent sometime there in 1S49 when 1t
was nothing but struggling village.
One of his greatest pleasures IS to
