600, 900 barrels for the entire United
States, record breaker, and at the re-
cent annual meeting Of the International
Apple Shippers association in Boston no
contracts for shipments were reported.
Last year was poor export year and
only 2,OOO,0OO barrels of apples went
abroad. In 1912, when there was big
crop, 5000, 900 barrels were exported.
Exporters had planned to send 4,0OO,OOO
barrels abroad this year. The North
western growers said that if early ending
of thewar did not reopen.the foreign mar
kets they would be forced to leave much
of their fruit on the trees and it was pre-
dicted that by Sept. LIST apples as fine
as any ever grown. will be offered on
pushcarts at one cent each. On the
other hand California and Florida lemon
growers may profit greatly by the clos
ing of the seas and there is said to be a
possibility that lemons may sell for $40 a
box. They advanced last week $3.50 a
box, making a box of best cost $7.25 from
first hands.

The Boston American, Democratic
newspaper which claims the largest cir
culation of any paper in New England,
in recent editorial vigorously denounced
the Congressman who voted for the bill
repeating the Panama canal free tolls,
charging them with miserable be-
trayal of party and country" in con-
clusion it says:
We should rid ourselves of these men,
for they cannot be trusted to preserve
their country's rights and interests at
the sacrifice of few petty political jobs.
The men whom the people of their dis
tricts ought to retire from public life are
Congressman Thomas c. Thacher of the
Cape Cod district of Massachus etts,
Congressman Daniel ]. McGillicuddy of
Maine and Congressman E. E. Reed and
R. E. Stevens of New Hampshire. Do
not forget them at the polls.
In this connection it may be recalled
that the Democratic platform of 1912
declared that, "We favor the exemp-
ton from toll of American ships engaged
in the coastwise trade passing through
the CANAL" and that in the campaign
Woodrow Wilson, the Democratic candi-
date for president, specially advocated
free tolls for American shipping. Yet
when president he urged and secured
the repeal of the free tolls bill by Con-
gress, although opposed by Speaker
Champ Clark and Underwood, the Demo-
cratic leader in the House. Senator
johnson of Maine, knowing that he was
voting against the interests of his con-
stituents, stood with the President for
repeal, and both he and McGillicuddy
voted for the Wilson Underwood tariff,
which seriously affects the agricultural
and manufacturing interests Of this
State. Pattargall, the Democratic can
didate for Congress in this district, if
elected will support these and like meas
ures framed by those hostile to New
England. In Aug 1918, the Democratic
editor of the Waldo County Herald gave
twelve reasons why he could not vote
for Pattangall for Congress, and there
are other reasons why he should not re-
ceive the votes of those who have the in
terests of the State and of the third con
gressional district at heart.

The good old town of Searsport in the
southern part of Waldo county, Tuesday
celebrated its Tooth anniversary, etc.
THUS began story of the Searsmont
centennial in the Kennebec Journal of
last Thursday, and Searsport was SUBJ
stituted for Searsmont all through the
article. What is still more surprising is
that this same story appeared in the
Bangor Commercial of Thursday even
ing headed in bold black letters "Sears-
port 100 Years Old Now" Strange
there was not some one in these offices
sufficiently acquainted with the geogra-
ply of this section to know that Sears
port is not in "the southern part of Wal
do county," and the Maine Register
W ould have informed them that Sears
port was incorporated Feb. 3, 1916, and
it's centennial is some ways off.
The department of journalism, Uni
versi1y of Oregon, recently sent out to
hundred of the most prominent news
papers in the country lat least one in
each of the forty-eight States) and to
ach of the thirty Schools of Journalism,
an enquiry as to what each editor or
teacher considered the best country
aper with which he was familiar. The
replies, which registered the opinions of
city newspapermen, in most cases the
editors or exchange editors of great me-
tropoljtan dailies, concentrated on twenty
nine of the smaller papers from the At
lantic to the Pacific, number of these
receiving from two to five votes. We
are advised by note from Eric W..
Allen, the head of the department OF
journalism in the University Of Oregon,
that The Journal was among the twenty
nine papers thus designated as best, and
we think we are justified in regarding
this as very marked compliment.

The army worm has invaded Maine and
has appeared in York and Sagadahoc
counties. In Bowdoinham the; worm
has played havoc with the oats on the
farms of W. B. Kendall, R. D. Puring-
ton and others. From as to 10 bushels
to the acre on the Kimball farm have
be en- eaten off and fallen to the ground,
and Mr.. Purlngton says his crop is not
worth harvesting. These worms work in
the night and hide in the day time and
are dangerous pest. A poison mixture
ed to the worms is said to be very ef-
fective. 1t consists of SO pounds of bran,
one pound Paris green, juice of six
oranges and diluted molasses to make a
thick dough. 1t is scattered about and
IL he worms seem to like it.

While the customs receipts at New
York last week were reported as nearly
normal, they were not from imports but
for Withdrawals from bond, and the adj
ministration at Washington is consider
ing how to meet the inevitable deficiency
in revenue. 1t is estimated that war
tax" of approximately 500, 0O0,0 600 will
be necessary, and while no definite plans
AVE been determin ed on it is expected
that the tax will take the shape of
stamp impost on malt and spirituous
liquors, although an increased import
duty on tea and coffee may be considered.
There is also talk of a stamp tax on
bank checks, tobacco, etc.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
has declared that if rail carriers were
permitted to choose particular boat lines
to establish through routes and joint
rates, "they will be able to dictate who
shall operate on the water and who shall
not, and would soon be able to drive
competitors out of business. The eff
feet of this decision can only be to add
to the expense and Inconvenience OF
tr avel. This has also been brought about
bv the war of the government on the
railroads, which has compelled them to
discharge many thousand employees and
to curtail their train service. This is
certainly the ''land of the brave" but at
this time can hardly be called the "home
of the free"

crumb of comfort to those who are la
menting the increasing cost of the nee
cessaries of life:
What resembles psychological move

criticism and demand for legal regula-

some of the advances, particularly on

oyerdone, and that natural reaction
will come shortly.
