The mayor of Joplin was recalled.
notwithstanding the fact that the press
of the town was on his side. The
mayors downfall was caused by his
refusal to dismiss his assistant chief
of police who is charged with not Civ

the assistant chief erred; policemen
can be very unpleasant at times. Yet
Mayor Wilhelm of Chicago still holds

LOOKING After the Boys"

The Journal has received no end OF
letters Of thanks and appreciation for
an utterance in this column on Sept.
10 last headed Where Is YOUR Boy"'
and equally more spoken words Of the
same kind. A LADY from out of town
called at the Journal office Thursday
morning TO voice her thanks for the
idea. saying she had long wondered
what she might do in the very line in
dicated-that of the adoption" of
some soldier or sailor boy and looking
after him in the thousand and one
ways that spondence and attend
ing 10 the many little things he would
mention in his letters-and since that
time she has adopted" sailor lad of
% years and began the pleasant task
OF looking after" him.
The plan was not a new one, but its
presentation TO the people at that time
and manner seemed 10 reach the spo,
in the hearts Of many, Judging from
the responses. And-here Is our ex-
ouse for again referring to it--there
are yet more boys in both the army
and navy who would be pleased to be
adopted" and to whom much benefit
and pleasure might be afforded by a
new and unknown war father" or
mother" Try II.

firm position against It. The law pro-
viding for the drafted army to fight in
the trenches contains ample authority
for the drafting Of men TO do the work

POTATO notes

potatoes were selling at $25oa275 per
barrel in Caribou Tuesday. according to
quotations received Wednesday at ths
Bangor & Aroostook Railroad Offices Il
Bangor.
Boston Journal, Sept. 2.-Certain Aroou-
TOOK county growers have already begun
holding potatoes for higher prices. ac-
cording to Boston dealers. in spite of the
fact that more potatoes have probably
been grown In the United States this year
tnan ever before. There are always
growers, dealers say, who are willing to
mold their crop and take a chance under
almost any conditions, and this faction
apparently has already begun playing tbs
game. That they can go as far with II al
they did a year ago. however, is doubted
by some of the Boston dealers, who claim
that the quality of Aroostook potatoes as
general rule is not as good as usual this
year. One Of them declared Yesterday
that as yet he hadn't seen a single car
load Of Aroostook potatoes that looked
right. The opinion was also expressed
yesterday that growers who are now re-
fusing to sell, believing that they can get
higher price later, may fool themselves,
for many are believed to have crops that
will not keep any great length OF time.
II this proves to be true. they will b
compelled to unload them before prices
advance to any extent II prices do ad-
vance, or let the spuds rot at a dead loss,,
