BOARD OF TRADE The Belfast Board of
Trade held an interesting meeting last Friday
evening and the members listened with much
interest to an address by Prof, Ralph P, Mitch
ell Of the University of Maine in regard to in
,, creasing the acreage in Belfast AID the county
towns to meet the demand for food supplies
The matter OF arranging meeting in the city
and following up the matter with the Oranges
was referred to S. Augustus Parker and a meet
ing will be held here this week, which the
farmers will be invited to attend and the i'm
portance of looking after the food supplies of
the fall months will be gone over. An effort
will be made to secure large acreage of
wheat in Maine the coming season, that the
wheat may be turned into -four. 1t was voted
to hold the annual meeting of the Boys Agri-
cultural Clubs in this city October 26th and
9th and very interesting program will be
arranged and it is expected that there will be
larger delegation of boys in the city than
ever before. There was a discussion as to
what had best be done in regard to the preser-
walton of the Dana Building at the foot of
Main street, now owned by the Pepjepscot Co.
President Slugg said that the building would
have to be removed from its present site with
in 80 days or it would be torn down. Members
of the Board of Trade have been looking for a
suitable lot for the location of the building
but reported that they had come to no dec-
sion and that adj acent lots are held at high
price. There was some talk of moving it to
location near the Maine Central depot, but in
any event public subscription must be raised
to buy the building and pay for its removal
The Pepjepscot company want the room and
land where the building sits and have no use
for the building. Representatives of the local
/ banks were present and announced that the
three banks The City National Bank. Waldo
, Trust Company and the Belfast Savings Bank
would subscribe 5000 toward the prizes to b e
offered to the members of the Agriculture ,
Clubs, as they have done in the past two years
