day he said he was well and strong
again."
Murphy said he remembered little of

cember. He came here nnd early IN
January wrote to friends ir Rutland
that mental fatigue brought o,. ty

the CANADIAN
FARMERS CAN'T
CROSS BORDER

Houlton, Me-, Jan. 17.-Canadian
farmers have been compelled to stop
bringing potatoes across the border.
Although the embargo has been lifted
potatoes have to be shipped to ports
Of entry and through some misunder-
standing a number of loads have been
hauled here since Jan. l and sold
Now, however, they are entered at
Vanceboro or other ports in carload
lots. Canadian farmers have begun to
think it is much better to sell at home
for $3.50 from the cellar rather than
to sort their potatoes over, haul them
here and pay 10 per cent. on home
market price and again have them
racked in Woodstock 1t is claimed
there is no sorting or racking OF the
tubers which are simply shoveled up
into barrels and hauled to market. The
price in Houlton. Saturday. was 81,
very few being hauled in owing to the
extreme cold weather.

only by energetic work that the cars

snow, and where it had formerly been
