EAST BELFAST.

A party of both young and old watched the
old year out and the New Year in at the home
of Capt. Alexander Snow. The time was pass
ed with games and other forms of entertain
ment.
The Mason Mills church wishes to make public

Mrs. ]. w. Burgess received news last Mon

M. Knowton, is i'll with typhoid fever, follow
ing serious attack of pneumonia. The child

WASHINGTON, Dec. % Ten billion dol
lars worth Of products, S., 900. OOO. 600
cash income-a bumper year in spite of
drouths and other setbacks-is the 1918
record of 6, 600, 900 American farms.
The most successful year of hushandry
in the United States brought forth &c.,
100, 600, 600 worth of crops of which 3d.
1896. 600, 900 were represented by cereals
alone, and So. $50, 600, 600 worth of ami
mails sold and slaughtered and animal
products.
The value of the 1918 crops is twice as
great as that of 1899; more than 81 .OOO,-
f1OO. 600 more than in 1909, and substan-
tially greater than 1912. OF all the crops
it is estimated that 81 percent will re-
main on farms where they are produced
and that 20 percent of the animal pro-
dnction will remain. On that basis, the
cash income is estimated by the Depart
ment of Agriculture at SIS, 847, 600, 900.
But despite record crop and the fact
that the number of farms has increased
II percent since 1910, the department
does not take the view that lower cost
of living will follow as consequence.
Had the total production in 1918 e.
oualed or exceeded the 1912 production,
saws the report, ''it seems probable that
the cash income per farm would not have
been greater and might have been less
than in 1912; but it is extremely doubtful
whether the cost to the consumers would
have been any less, because retail prices
are promptly raised on a prospect of
underproduction, but are very slow to
decline if there is overproduction.
1.-THE long line of distributors and mid
dlemen between the farmer and the con
sumer are in position to take advantage
of the market and to certain extent
control the market in both direction be-
cause they are better organized to keep
informed of crop and market conditions
and to act promptly than either farmers
or consumers, who not are organized, and
as individuals are helpless.
'"The high prices paid by consumers,
ranging from 5 to nearly 500 percent, in
some cases more than the farmer re-
ceives, indicate that there is plenty of
room for lowering the cost of farm
products to consumers and at the same
time largely increasing the cash income
per farm without increasing farm pro-
duction.
This condition is undoubtedly market
ing problem, which will have TO be solved
by better organization of farmers and
improved methods of marketing. When,
as the result of such organization and
improved methods, the price of farm pro-
ducts can be maintained at a higher level
without increasing the cost to consumers,
farmers will be justified in increasing
the output of their farms with fair
prospect of realizing a reasonable profit
on their investment of time, labor and
money, which in the aggregate is enor-

The Belfast man who raised tobacco
successfully in Waldo county is getting
lots Of newspaper notices. The idea OF
most of the editors seems to be that the
market for the weed will never be seri-
ously affected by the Maine crop. We
can raise tobacco and we can raise
peaches and oysters, but we can DO far
better at sweet corn and apples and lob
sters and they are better things to raise,
too. if that counts for anything. Port

That is all right; but we have not
heard of any one realizing $1,000 an acre
raising sweet corn or apples; and it is
certainly worth something to have it

in Belfast: and it is worth something to

Mr.. E. J. Morrison, formerly of Bel

Gle on the Mexican question. In COM
mon with many others he does not be-
lieve the Wilson-Bryan way Of letting
the Mexicans fight it out among them
selves will accomplish anything, as when
one general is defeated, and if captured
murdered, two new generals will spring
up in his place and the fighting continue.
Speaking from knowledge Of the country
and its resources Mr.. Morrison says:
mo part of North America is so rich in
TIMBER, mineral, grazing land and land
for agriculture as Mexico, but to be of
any use to civilized man the Mexican and
the Indian must be driven OUT In his
opinion nothing but drastic measures
will meet the situation and this is his
plan for dealing with it:
would put an army down there large
enough to cover the ground from the
Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific ocean and
drive every Mexican and Indian south of
the 26th parallel tout of lower California

Of the Goth parallel as property of the
United States divide it up into terrific
RES and place them under territorial

asts, such as English, German and
French, to be recognized and protected
and II no manner disturbed; but put
every last one of the Mexicans and In
dians below the 26th parallel and keep
them there, and then let them continue
to fight among themselves if they so
desire.

Ghere is no one to arbitrate with, and
there is no other way than the plan out

Robin Hood combination exists be-
tween the packer and the consumer.
The Armours have branches all over
the country, and it Is the general sup
position that prices charged for pack
ing house products at these branches
are based upon Chicago quotations,
plus freight and a reasonable charge
for handling.
1t may be, however, that the pack
ers are innocent of extortion and that
high prices are the result of an agree
ment between those who handle the
product after it leaves the packing
houses. 1t is to be hoped that the
government investigation now under
way will be successful in smoking out
the guilty.

BY way Of a friendly warning, the

Copies of this rule were sent TO all

Commissioner Pou said that was
what he wanted also. Commissioner
Johnson was on the sick list yester-
day, and was not present when the
qualification OF Mr. Hicks occurred.
Mr.. Hicks said that he knew he had
a job before MIN that was a man
size job and he was going TO do the
best he knew how. The lists that he
will prepare will be printed one time in
a city newspaper, and then there will
be meeting of the commissioners
later to hear any possible complaints
from the voters whose names may
have been unintentionally left off the

Need of Vigilance
In Sanitation.

This Is the time Of year in Florida
perhaps more than any other time,
that there is need Of vigilance in sani-
tation.
It is to be hoped in the general dis
turbance of the worlds equilibrium.
and the readjustment to meet the ex-
listing conditions in which the world
Is suddenly whelmed. it will not be
forgotten that there are dangers quite
as potent as the death that stalks in
camp or sweeps over the battlefield.
Special attention should be given to
sanitation now. Let every householder
turn his attention to his home Let
the boys out of school keep the prem
Uses clean and let the school girls give
their attention to the house.
Both the home and the yards of
every resident should be kept sani-
tary and clean-free from all trash
and guarded from impurities that will
lead to breeding disease bearing YER
min.
A school boy of eleven spends a
morning or afternoon each week
cleaning up the back yard, and his
family have bought lawn mower
that he may have the job of grass
cutting. This is healthful work.
Any boy of eleven or twelve can
help to keep his home clean and san
itary. This is work that boys and
girls can all assist in. Set them to
work to aid in keeping the home clean,
in order that the family may be pro-
tected from the dangers of insanita-
ton.

Great Opportunity for
Trade Expansion.

An Associated Press telegram from
New York conveys the news that
there Is an unprecedented demand for
American goods Of all kinds through
out Latin America, one prominent mer-
chant declaring that all the steam
ships now operating in the south
American trade could only carry one
tenth of the tonnage necessary to sup
ply the demand. This condition is
due, naturally. to the breaking off of
commercial relations with European
countries which have. in the past, en-
joyed an almost complete monopoly of
Central and South American trade.
Central and South America and the
West Indies are. logically United
States trade territory and this coun-
try has not been able to control the
business because Of unfamiliarity with
trade conditions and unwillingness to
extend the credit demanded. Credits
throughout this territory range any
where from three to nine months and
In some instances even longer time
Is demanded. Goods of all kinds
destined for Central and South Amer
lean ports must be especially packed,
to conform to the ideas of the buyers
