AN ACTIVE OLD LADY.

The Lynn, Mass, Item of a recent date
has the following interesting interview
with Mrs. Goodwin of East Lynn, for
merly Mary Abby Emery, daughter of
the late Jonas Emery who lived in the
Miller neighborhood in Belfast:
'You don't mind if rcontinue to knit,
do you?" queried a pretty and wonderful
ly smart old lady to ali Item reporter at
her home, Milton street, ''for you see,
old as am, am never SO contented as
when | am doing something and | can
talk Just as WE'LL" and with that the
knitting needles flew faster in the hands of
Mary Abby Emery Goodwin, who recent
ly observed the 92nd anniversary of her
birth, and who does not use glasses to
sew or mend.
From candle light to electricity in my
time of life, 'said Mrs. Goodwin, "and
since my birth | have seen a wonderful
change in this country. | think the war
is terrible, but hope to live long enough
to see the kaiser and the militant Ger
mans relieved of their power to destroy.
In the days when Twas girl in Bel
fast, Me-, where my father had large
farm, l can remember when the only
things that we bought were sugar, mo-
lasses, tea, coffee and like, for we fur
nished everything else ourselves. We
grew flax and from that spun our own
clothes and sewed them all by hand, too
My father had bit of money and there
was some class to me, for | used to have
a parasol to match every dress, butt
have got all over that.
II was married in 1851 in Belfast and
then went to live in Newburyport, but
have lived in Lynn for a great many
years."
She entertained a number of callers
who congratulated her on her excellent
health and expressed a wish that she
might see her Tooth anniversary, in ac-
cordance with her wishes. She has one
daughter, Miss Charlotte E. Goodwin,
with whom she lives, and three sons,
Walter E. and James C. of Lynn, and
Richard Goodwin of Newburyport; five
grandchildren and eight great -grandchil-
dren.

TRADE SUMMARY,

The business situation in eastern Maine
does not seem to show any marked
changes. Preparations are making for
about the usual amount of winter lum-
bering, which means no great increase in
volume. In the potato belt prices are
again fluctuating, and not very satisfac-
tory to the farmers, many of whom are
therefore holding off for higher ra-es. No
unusual demand is noticed for any special
line of goods. The successful marketing
of last seasons po atoes and lumber ma
terially benefited the merchants and
farmers in northern Maine and Bangor
jobbers report the most satisfactory COL
lections from that quarter in taeir expert
ence. The banks note about the same
demand for general business loans as last
year, but it is thought that later on it may
be somewhat larger. The hay market in
this vicinity has not been good. Shoe
and leather conditions are improving and
there is more demand for flour than the
mills can meet. Distribution of cotton
goods is somewhat larger. The cotton
goods market is very firm, staple cottons
ruling higher, upward revisions of prices
being made in most departments. There
is more interest in linens and indications
are for pronounced scarcity Women's
dress goods are active and mems wear
dull

The Federal Food Administration in

tcntion to the fact that every person

made to Licensing Division, U. S. Food

10 who is included. If in doubt in
lily should be made at above address.
For the present, hotels, restaurants,

applicant before November 1st he is

roper manner pending arrival of license.
single company requires only one
eynse and application blank, no matter
aw many branches it has, provided they
ne conducted under the same name. If
-.siness is carried on in different names
by subs diary corporations they must
ach have license.
Rules and regulations have been pre-
dred and will be ready to be sent out
with the licenses before November 1st.
These rules are based on three funda-
entail principles.
First, to limit all profits to normal
MOUNTS which the licensee obtained in
binary years. Even if a shortage be-
mes apparent the commodity must
sill pass to the consumer at the same
lsonable price as though there was a
,.ihcient supply. In non-perlshable pro-
.cts every licensee will be required to
at reasonable advance over the cost of
.rticular goods sold without regard to
arket price when sold.
second, to keep all food commodities
owing in as direct line and with as
,tle delay as practicable from producer
consumer and discourage speculation
md resales within a trade In case of
~ products except cotton seed, fresh
llts and vegetables, cold storage prod
is. canned goods and dried fruits no
eusee will be allowed to hold or con-
tact for more than sixty days supply at
45 time. This is supplemented by more
Hrungent special rules in some industries
ad any unreasonable boarding will be
.sQSe for revoking the license.
Third, to limit as far as practicable
0ntracts for future delivery and dealings
future contracts. Except in commo-
lies mentioned above contracts for de-
very more than forty-fve days in adj
ance are forbidden and some special
egllations prescribe shorter time. All
rensees will be required TO give Food
Almlnistration at Washington monthly
Worn reports of their business and their
looks must always be open to inspection.
Every dealer should conduct his bus-
less with these three principles in mind.
he regulations do not attempt to change
any way the customary channels Of
rlslness or eliminate any dealer who has
su established channel of distribution.
