HEAVY POTATO SHIPMENTS.
Aroostook County Is Sending Out 100
Carloads a Day.

Houlton, Me-, Sept. %. Potato ship
ments are being made this week out OF
Aroostook county over the Bangor &
Aroostook railroad at the rate of 100
carloads day. Shipments for Septem.
Der promise to be about 25 per cent
heavier than those of September, 1912,
as the record of that month in 1919 wac
passed Sept. 20, up to which time over
1900 carloads had gone out of the state.
Aroostook farmers expect to have one
of the most prosperous potato seasons
in years. Last year, potatoes started
selling at Sl.25 barrel, and they de-.
clined to the record low price of 60
cents barrel This year they started
selling at Sl50 a barrel, and have de-
clined to sll0, and this week took a
brace up TO 1925. As Aroostook county
has an enormous crop this year. and 9th
er states report crops not up to normal,
big sales of potatoes at good prices are
likely.

MRS. MACkAY IN
S1,OO0,O0O LOVE TANGLE
Wife of Multi Millionaire Defendant in
Alienation Suit--Remains Secluded
in Maine Retreat.

New York, Sept 25.--Mrs. Joseph A.
Blake, wife of the noted surgeon, has
served Mrs. Clarence II. Mackay with
the necessary papers in a suit for 81,
600 600 for alienation OF her husbands
affections.
Because OF the reluctance of both par
ties to the action to face publicity there
has been a delay in filing the issue IN
court, but unless an agreement is
reached-now looked upon as impossible
because of the bitterness of the plaintiff
the papers will be offered for judicial
record at the coming term.
In spi,e of the effort at secrecy, the
matter OF the suit has been subject OF
gossip for several months.
At the time the papers are said to
have been served Mr. Mackay and the
children were in the south, while Mrs.
Mackay was stopping at the Hotel Plaza
in this city.
Mr.. Mackay returned here, and on
june % last, he sailed with the children
for Europe on the maiden trip of the
Imperator. He is said to have sailed
under the name of r. Moore. The de-
parture is said to have been wholly
without the knowledge of Mrs. Mackay.
Mr. Mackay took the little ones on

This Is Guaranteed TO
Stop Your Cough
Make this Family supply of
Cough syrup at Home
and Save So.

This plan makes pint of better
cough syrup than you could buy ready
made for $3.50. A few doses usually
conquer an ordinary cough-relieves
even whooping cough quickly. Simple
as it is, no better remedy can be had
at any price.
Mix one pint of granulated sugar with
"a pint of warm water, and stir Tor
minutes. Put 21a ounces of Pinex fifty
cents WORTH in a pint bottle; then
add the Sugar Syrup. 1t has a pleasant
taste and lasts a family a long time.
Take teaspoonful every one, two or
three hours.
You can feel this take hold of cough
in a way that means business. Has a
good tonic effect, braces up the appetite,
and is slightly laxative, too, which is
helpful. A handy remedy for hoarse-
ness, spasmodic Group, bronchitis, bron-
chial asthma and whooping cough
The effect Of pine on the membranes
is well known. Pinex is a most valu-
able concentrated compound of Norwe-
gian white pine extract, and is rich in
guaiacol and other natural healing
pine elements. Other preparations will
not work in this combination.
This Pinex and Sugar Syrup remedy
has often been initiated, though never
successfully. 1t is now used in more
homes than any other cough remedy.
A guaranty of absolute satisfaction, or
money promptly refunded, goes with this
preparation. Your druggist has Pinex,
or will get it for YOU. If not, send to

UNITED STATE LOSES TRADE.
In Cotton Goods with Countries in Asia,
Chiefly China.

Washington, d. c., Sept. 25-Tht
United States has been losing it's posi-.
ton in the cotton goods trade of Asia
especially in China, where S2S00000t
worth of American cloth was sold in
1905, and $30,000,000 worth in 1908
These exports to China had value OF
only S7,37l ,95S in the fiscal year end.
ed June 30, 1912. which further de-
clined to S5,796.327 in the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1918. This loss of trade
has been seriously felt by American cot
ton manufacturers and exporters, and
this has led the department of commerce
to undertake an investigation of the UNI
DERIVING conditions.
Commercial Agent w. A. Graham
Clark is now EN- route to China and
Japan to study industrial and CONNER
cial changes which cause these declin-
ing sales. China is continuing its large
purchases of cotton goods, the imports
last year having exceeded $l00,000,000,
one third of which came from England,
which is apparently holding its own in
this trade.
japanese mills have been multiplying
and obtaining a strong hold in the cot
ton goods trade of the Orient, where
their sales last year were nearly $780,
100000. One third of the raw cotton
spun in Japanese malls now comes from
our southern states, which supplied them
with only 100 bales in 1894, while 100000
bales, worth $25 100000, were supplied
in 1912. As Oriental peoples are now
making for themselves many of the plain
fabrics, which long formed such large
proportion of American exports to Asia,
the commercial agent will also endeavor
to learn what new textile goods we may
successfully place on that market.

MURDERER'S WIFE

that she was married to Joseph Ellis
suspected murderer of Joseph Shalansky.
l6-year-old girl, giving her name a.
Autlra Baker of Is Nicholas avenue, Dan.

rooming place here, in an attempt at
suicide. AT City hospital, where her

The police yesterday learned from a
railroad conductor that man answer
ing the description of Ellis, and carry
ing the suspects suit case left Indian
apolis on Monday afternoon on tram
bound for Cincinnati. The conductor
noted that the young man kept himself
secluded in the smoking compartment.
Since Anderson, who the police believe
is Joseph Ellis of Richmond, Va, washed
his blood stained hands in the room
to which he lured Shalansky and where
he slew him and walked out of the no.
tel absolutely not a trace has been
found Of the mysterious slayer.
Publicity given the Shalansky muir
der, however, has revealed .robberies in
Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Cleveland, To-
ledo and Louisville so similar to the
Shalansky case that the police are sat
isfied the missing slayer has operated in
all these cities, escaping the necessity of
murder only by the ease with which he
overcame and robbed his victims, all of
whom, as was Shalansky. were second
hand clothing dealers. Evidence that
Anderson, or Ellis, was the principal in
the Louisville crime at least, was found
when a gold watch taken from the vic
tim there was discovered in an Indian
lapolis pawn shop. The pawnbroker's
