Fort Fairfield Review How
prices Of different commodities
vary according to the place in which
they are bought! For instance,
potatoes are now worth about 81. 50
a barrel in Fort Fairfield, while
sweet potatoes are sold at the rate
Of about $500 a barrel, or for more
than five times as much as the Irish
potatoes. In Boston Maine potatoes
are bringing nearly $500 a barrel,
while sweet potatoes bring only
about $500 barrel. But it should
be remembered that one Of the prin-
cipal causes Of the high cost of sweet
potatoes in northern Maine is not
only in the freight but the fact that
they are sold in such very small
quantities and then delivered by
team. SO that the handling and de-
livering costs much more than the
potatoes themselves.

others stood on the wings in order to
balance the plane.
Although none of the crew obtained
more than four hours sleep after leav-
ing Trepassey until they reached here,
Towers said there was no suffering
except swollen hands from working
the pump and a severe attack of sea

WOULD REPEAL
ICE CREAM TAX

special war taxes which the president
in his message to congress suggested
should be eliminated are those on soda

products as automobile trucks and ac-
cessories. pianos, sporting goods. chew

Taxes on most of these articles went
into effect May 1, and the collection
of them, involving innumerable cases
of making small change. has caused
much complaint from retailers and
purchasers.
