Tomato Growers Picnic
Is Best Ever

More than five hundred people at
tended the picnic held Wednesday,
July 10Th, by the Tomato Growers
Associations of Dorchester county, on
TIE farm of Mr.. John E. Patton, near
East New Market THE best picnic
ever" was a frequent expression as
the crowd listened to the program OF
music and speeches or gathered on
the shore to discuss and digest The
steamed crabs, fried chicken, ice
cream and cigars which were proyid
cd in abundance
The program began at $50 p. M,
lasted for about two hours. Mrs. ].
Z. Croft, of Cambridge, delighted the
audience with several songs during
the afternoon. The first speaker Oh
the program was I. O. Taylor, of Hur
lock, who traced the growth of To-
Elato Growers and Produce EXchan-
ges from a single organization at
Cambridge, in 1915, to the forty To-
cal associations, with a membership
of nearly $500 farmers, which are
low scattered all over the Delmarvia
Peninsula.
Mr.. Bomberger. Assistant Director
of the Extension Service of Maryland
State College, spoke next about the
causes of failure among cooperative
associations. The four essentials to
make an enterprise of this kind sue
cessful, according to Mr.. Bomberger,
are, first, proper organization on rec
ognized business principles, second,
the loyal support of every member;
third, the employment of capable
sales manager, at q salary which will
enable him to live without spending
half his time on some other job, and
fourth, a sufficient amount of bust
ness to keep down overhead charges,
and frequent audit of the books.
The program was concluded by Mr..
Robert G. Houston. of Sussex coun-
ty, Del, where the farmers have ia

This year the Cambridge Fair As

above action, and now make an
appeal to the Republican voters for
their support. { desire to state fur

TEN $1O SHIRTS
FOR BLACKSMITH
War Savings Director Cites This
as Extrayagant Buying
Against Public Welfare.

The purchase by an Indiana black
smith of ten silk shirts at SO each
and the offer Of a Texas pawnbrok-
er to buy war savings stamps below
market price are pointed to by Will
liam MatheT Lewis, director or the
war savings division OF the Treas
ury, as indicating that the profiteer
and extravagant buyers are marching
together to the detriment OF the pub
lie welfare.
Director Lewis says attention has
been specifically called to the represen-
tative OF a Connecticut store who has
taken ESQ orders for fur coats on
81 a week payment basis from girls
who for the most part do not earn
over SIS a week. Mr.. Lewis, in a
statement addressed today TO twelve
district directors OF savings, said:
Gas was to be anticipated, the
agitation OF the high cost or living
problem which so stirred the nation
for a few days, is now rapidly SUD
siding.
''Unless some national Organiza-
ton makes II its business TO keep
the matter before the public, Yery
little result will have been obtained
by the recent excitement.
mo organization can connect the
matter more closely with its eStab-
tortion by merchants. Of wild Z
sion OF the Treasury Department, the
three salient points in whose move
ment are careful buying. systematic
saving, and intelligent investment.
Already many OF the 100000 War
Savings societies are waging an ac-
tive fight against profteering, ex-
travasant spending, and wildcat in
vestment. Investigation OF local ex-
tortion by merchants, OF void ex-
travagance by buyers OF all classes
and promotion of get-rich-quick
schemes is being quietly carried on.
The Connecticut War Savings COM
mittee, for instance, has called the
attention OF the people in that State
TO their recklessness in spending
money for luxuries and their disre-
gard for economic welfare.
"On the other hand. the fact that
the purchase of War Savings stamps
increased 20 per cent in August over
July indicates that the people are be-
ginning to realize the value Of saving
as an antidote for high prices. The
continued and intensified activity OF
the district savings organization will
deepen this realization and bring last
ing results TO the nation"

Boersianer'S
Comment
on Business
~ ROERsIANER.

Least affected by the depreciation
in foreign moneys are the British;
nevertheless, everything. from the
United States is costing the English
about IL per cent more than normal.
and as sterling Is likely to fall still
more unless something is done speed
lily, this burden must increase. I'M
ports from India cost about 3T1s
per cent more than before the war.
Prices must advance equivalently in
London on articles so imported, and
as many Of these are essential raw
materials for English industry, the
handicap the English are imposing on
themselves is obvious.
It has been inevitable that at
certain level Americans must needs
arrange credits for Europeans, es-
pecially for the United Kingdom; that
point has been touched. Yet, borrow
ing Is q palliative. never a remedy.
Americans just now are protecting
their credits abroad and trying TO
maintain their outward trade.
But looking wen ahead, so long as
country lives beyond its means, it
is in a vicious circle. The deprecia-
tion OF the exchanges increase the
cost Of imports; prices accordingly
rise and the higher internal prices
encourage further Imports and dis
courage exports.
1t is only when a country cannot
go on living beyond its means. E.,
when the prices Of imports become
prohibltive by the fall in the value
of it's own currency and on the other
hand, exports are Rrtihcially sttmu-
lated by the increase in the relative
value Of foreign currencies-that the
tide begins to turn. But such a pro-
cess involves a heavy strain and re-
adjustment on q highly developed
foreign trade and an importing com
munity returns to a healthy state
only at great cost to itself
1t is probable that sanity as re-
CARDS purchases abroad will be. more
or less imposed on Europe. Borrow
ing, whether abroad or at home, ap-
pears to most people to have been
during the war a wonderfully sue
cessful scheme; a kind Of invention
in the economic world, which has
somehow shown a nation much richer
than anyone ever thought.
But the perpetual borrowing is no
easier to invent than perpetual mo-
ton. For. fortunately, or unfor-
tunately, the perpetual lender has not
yet been discovered. European bor-
rowing abroad at any rate is likely
to be strictly limited. America will
no doubt continue lending to some ex-
tent. But all Europe requires credit,
so that Americas credit resources
must-or shouId-be extensively and
not intensively requisitiOned.
And therein Will lie the relative
safety Of American lenders. English
men may be Ppreferred debtors, with
Frenchmen a second preference, but
good individual placements may be
made by Americans in Italy. Germany
and other countries, what though the
state finances are more or less pre-
carious.
A further look into the future sug- /
gests that once Europe's economic !
house is in comparative order Ameri- |
can producers would better seek other !
Asia and in South Amer !
lea. 1t might be prudent to have |
in the Latin republics and
in the distant Orient ere Europe is
fully restored to a competitive plane
with American money.

that each days delay in ratification

No objection, however. is offered to
