Seed Potato Shrinkage..

VIM. G. Hunton tells State Agrlcul-
tural and Industrial League Directors of
Big Losses to Maine.
At the last meeting Of the Executive
Committee of the State Agricultural and
Industrial League held at the Congress
Square Hotel, VIM. G. Huntou, Industri-
a Agent of the Maine Central R r.,
spoke without mincing words of the ire
mendous falling off of the demand out
side the State for certified Maine seed po-
tatOeS.
will tell you that Maine certified seed DO
tatOeS should produce over so per cent
more in the soil south of this State than
their local or the Middle Western seed,
yet the number of carloads shipped from
Maine has fallen from well over 1000
just a few years ago to less than 1000
last year. At $500 per carload a conser-
vatlve price, you can see that we are
now turning away-yes absolutely refu-
sing by neglect-over 81, 600 900 worth of
business yearly that should be ours.
This business, | believe, is all going to
Middle Western growers, and for just one
reaSon-lack of organization among
Maine producers. If the efforts of the
State of Maine Agricultural and Indus
trial League, result in organizing the seed
potato growers, and finding for them
markets, as indeed you found for hun
dreds of barrels last year, you will have
brought back into the State of Maine the
tidy sum of over $4, 600, 600 annually"

Co. located on the shore of Moosehead
lake at Greenville, was entirely Destroy

gale blowing from the lake, was soon be-
You'd control and spread with great rapid
ity through the mill which is a total loss.
The office building and much of the lum-
Der and sheds were not burned. The fire
threatened a number of houses nearby
and the people moved out their goods, but
none were burned The mill was the
principal industry of the town and was
in active operation employing over 200
men, whose loss of employment will be
keenly felt here. The product was prin-
cipalIy butter tubs. The principal own

No estimate could be given of the loss

over 100000 and is partially insured.
No plans are announced for rebuilding.

THE THIRTEENTH
CHAIR


1t was a small and patient audience
that assembled in the Grand opera
house last evening to witness the pre-
sentation by one Of the Keith Vawter
companies of Bayard Veiller's drama,
THE Thirteenth Chair" The curtain
did not rise until after nine-thirty,
owing to the non-arrival of actors and
scenery In time to begin the opening
act at the regular hour. The task of
carrying the offering to any degree of
success rested largely upon the shout
ders of Helen Van Hose, who as
sumed the role of Madame Rosalie
La Grange, the medium" Miss Van
Hoose was seen here some time ago
in the same part and with company
of actors capable in every way. None
of her associates in last nights per-
Torrance rose to ordinary heights as
stage performers. The scenery for the
one set was all that could be desired.

has the following to say about tho

1.-The proximity Of Christmas has
not stayed the play on the political
chess board of Iowa.
"'Will Hays, chairman Of the re-
publican national committee, is re-

Joseph r. Frailey, of Fort Madison,
for active duty in the campaign OF

Fratiey's friends would rather see
him the United States district at
torney for the southern district than
have him attorney general of Iowa
They believe that should the senator
take active part as a spellbinder in
the 1920 campaign, a republican
president could easily be induced to
name Frailey al the governments
attorney for the southern district.
