son for expecting speedy adjustment
Petitions Pouring In.
Maine people continue to petition Con-
the petitions are being referred to the
proper committees of Senate and House.
The House committee on judiciary has
recently voted against considering either
the prohibition or suffrage amendments
to the Constitution at this session, which
means that no further action in either
legislative branch can be expected for
some time. OF course Congress has a
tremendous program of things to do,
which should normally keep it working
at high pitch for several months, per-
haps as late as August or September.
This affords the opponents of prohibi-
ton with good excuse. The advocates.
however, will hardly let up and it is fully
expected that they will come forward at
the short session next winter. Perhaps
no great amount of time will be lost, for
most of the state legislatures have now
adjourned or will shortly adjourn. If
Congress should vote to submit a ma
tional prohibition amendment to the Con-
stitution, it would have to be passed upon
by the various state legislatures and rati-
fled by three-fourths of them before it
could become effective.
Among petitions presented In the last
few days by Senator Burleigh are the fol-
lowing: From Amity. Cary, Kennebunk-
port, Cumberland, Cherryfeld. Vance
boro, Lambert Lake, Charleston and
York. He also presented prohibition
resolutions from the Parent-Teachers'
Asso,;,+;on of East Iivermore and from
the Parent-Teachers' Association of
Wayne.
Senator Burleigh believes this an OPP
perfume time to emphasize demands for
national prohibition, even if immediate

The business houses Of Greenwood
have been busy all the week taking
stock, making an inventory Of the
goods left on the shelves with which
to begin the year 1917.
A few weeks Of heavy business such
as Greenwood merchants experienced
last week would have so depleted the
the stocks that an inventory would
hardly have been necessary. As it is
there is not much left to take stock
of. /,
Monday, the first day Of the new
year, will find practically every busi-
ness house in Greenwood ready. All
are looking forward to one of the lar
gest years in the history Of the town
and every n is confident Of getting
his part Of that business.
The Greenwood merchants r all
thorough business men and are wor-

them.

In some trades wages have advanced more
than the cost OF living, which is placed at Is
per cent. 1t is doubtful, however, if the average
income of all workers has risen more than ten
per cent, and therefore the condition of the wage
earners is not as good as it was at the beginning
of 1916.
