FARM PRODUCTS
LATEST MOVE OF
FARMERS UNION
Plans Considered at
the Turner Center
Grange Most Inpor-
tant Thus Far Made
Distributing Houses Likely to
Be Established First at Lew
iston and Portland-Manager
Embree Working 1t out

Waterville, Me-, May 22.--tSpeciaD-
Manager Embree was a guest of the
Turner Center Grange at an all-day
meeting Saturday, May 20. One of the
objects of the meeting was to discuss
the advisability of making thorough
canvass Of Androscoggin county, hav-
ing in view the organizing of series
of local unions in connection with the
Farmers Union of Maine. and when
this is accomplished it is proposed to
organize a distributing house in Lew
iston Those present at the meeting
were prac ctically unanimous in their de-
sire that the work should be started
Immediately. 1t was finally decided to
appoint a committee VINO are to draf:
out a plan as to location, etc. AS soon
as the details have been arranged a
series of meetings will be held and
the work pushed rapidly.
When the distributing house is or
ganized the management will UNDER
take the distributing of milk. eggs, but
ter and other farm product. move
ment of a similar nature is under way
in Portland and after these two dis
tributing houses are in proper working
conditions, like houses will be located
in other parts of the State.
This movement to first supply Maine
and thus avoid sending the product to
Boston and returning it to Maine to
be consumed, was contemplated from
the first, but the time has only arriv-
ed when the idea could be put in active
operation.
For the next two or three months.
Manaper En,hree will riye biS
tion to these two movements and he is
sure that the movement as planned will
work out successfully.
This is the most important move
made by the farmers union since the
first local was organized al Brunswick
in February. 1912. For years tie farm
er has looked forward to the time when
he could sell his product direct from
the farm to the consumer and this
move in Lewiston and Portland opens
the way and it is believed that tho
farmers contiguous to these two i'm
portant market centers will not let the
opportunity pass them by.
Potatoes
The potato business the past week
was q little more satisfactory Prices
advanced in Boston from $1.O5 to s1.o0.
In New York. the accumulations in the
yards were greatly reduced and the sup
ply was normal: offerings from Maine
We're however light and considerable un-
certainty exists as to the amount held
in the hands of the growers and the
shippers It is generally understood
that the New York stock is practically
cleaned up and that the end in handling
old stock is near.
Maine stock sold in New York f. O. b.
the yards al $1.1S per bushel This
price considering the difference in price
was less than the Boston prices which
accounts for the small shipments to
New York.
The Boston market closed Saturday
with about 50 cars on the tracks.
The Farmers Union is putting forth
every effort having in view certain re-
forms along marketing lines and hopes
to be in a position to make the changes
the coming season.

When the plans are in full operation
for the government of Tangier, Mo-
rocco. the first really internati tional
city OF the world" the community will
have legislative body. an assembly
chosen by popular vote and composed
of twenty-four Moroccan members and
eleven foreigners. representatives Of
the powers. A mixed court is proyid-
ed for, along the lines of the interna-
uonal court in Egypt. The arrange
ment is that it is to consist of two
frenchmen. one Of whom will preside:
two Spaniards, two Englishmen ane
one German. A Spsniard is to be
public prosecutor. The war. of course,
may upset the program permanently.

1t was very red and then it began to form
into eruptions like smallpox. and her face
was SO full Of the eruptions that you could
not put pin head between them, and her
eyes were closed. She was terrible sight.
She cried night and day the eruptions itched
so badly. and had to tie her hands so that
she could not scratch. She also had
fever and was sick.
THE rash was very bad for three weeks

Highland recorder. (Monterey, Highland County, Va.) 1877-1972, 1916-08-04

On October 8, 1888, a clerk in the
employ Of New York steamship bro
ker mailed letter to the master of
the Swedish bark Superior at Mar
settles.
The letter was never delivered. But
in the autumn of 1913 it was returned
to the steamship brokers' Office,
stamped all over it's face. The best
explanation offered for its 80 years in
transit was that it had lain in the
Swedish consulate at Marseilles all
those years, and that during a house
cleaning was found and remailed.
In the post Office department Off
Gals tell of letter that was mailed
from there in 1852, addressed to Rob-
ert S. Mckay at New Orleans. The
letter followed Mr.. Mckay to Russia,
where he was a consulate attache. But
he had died there and had left in his
will a provision that all his papers
should be locked up until his five-year-
old son and namesake attained his ma
jority.
When 1868 arrived the son was trav-
cling and exploring in Africa. A law
clerk, not knowing the provisions of
the 1852 will, supposed the letter was
for the present Mr.. Mckay and start
ed it forth again. 1t rested in Cape
Town through error until the year
1871.
When it was started back to New
Orleans Mr.. Mckay had left for ex-
ploration in Chile. Letter and adj
dressee finally got together in Louisi-
ana in 1874. And strange to say, mat
tiers of business Importance to the
father were still Of business interest
to the son.

Quaint Economies.

The most curious example of war
economy, as practiced in London, is
that two Of the greatest London stores
have now dropped apostrophes in
their announcements and catalogues.
A large teashop firm issue advice for
economists by way Of a notice on
their tea tables. One suggestion is
shat if people who formerly took two
Jumps of sugar would now take only
one there would be considerable
saving to the nation and assistance
in carrying on the war. Some of the
customers have acted on the advice,
but, fearful that they might embarrass
the firm by making their economy a
matter of profit to them, make habit
of unblushingly pocketing the second
lump to be used at home. Empty tin
cans have now value, and one firm
has exchanged pound of their coffee
for one and half dozen coffee tins.
