The spring business of the Coe- Morti-
mer plant was materially lessened by the
ice blockade in Belfast Bay. To coun-
teract this an unusually large crew was
later employed and their phosphate was
being handled rapidly when the Govern
ment requisitioned all the barges used in
bringing materials here, with the excep-
ton of the two small ones owned by the
company, for use in transportation of
munitions. The local plant will do the
best they can with their own barges and
the company will fill all orders they have
| taken in excess of this supply from their
other plants One of their barges arrived

Belfast was the first city and Waldo
the first county in Maine to report their
allotment in the Liberty Loan. The quiet
dignity with which it was done also adds
materially to it's significance. The banks
in the county gave all the encouragement
possible, even to giving assistance to
those who could buy only on the INSTALL
ment plan. Wednesday afternoon the
city had subscribed $163, $50 and the
county $41O, $50. Every town has SUBJ
scribed more than it's allotment. Mayor
| Clement w. Wescott, chairman of the
county committee, has received the fol-
lowing telegram:
Portland, April Goth.
"Hearty congratulations. Yours was
the first county to report 100 per cent.
