WINTERPORT

The Saco Valley Canning Co. is con-
tracing the sweet corn acreage again
this year at five cents per pound, which
is the highest price in the history of the
canning industry. While the past few
seasons have been cold and backward in
the spring, with cool summers and early
fall frosts, the conditions of loss and dis
appointment have been felt not only by
as well, for humber crops would have en-
couraged greater production in the future,
and have brought more profit both to the
producer and to the canning operator.
Some years ago this company purchased
this plant in Goshen, which was then
known as the Pleasant View Canning
Co, of A L. Blaisdell, the builder, owner
and proprietor, and has since that time
operated it on fair and equitable basis,
and the loss of such an industry in town
would be keenly felt by the farmers who
produce the corn and to the employees of
the factory in the fall canning season.
An appeal is being made to the farmers
to plant as large an acreage as possible
this year, receive the established price of
live cents per pound for their product
and incidentally provide for future opera
ton of the plant, which is fitted up with
all modern canning machinery and is a
benefit to the entire town In the earlier
years OF his operation of the corn factory,
A. L, Blaisdell, the owner and proprie-
tor, was able to contract the sweet corn
product as low as Is mills per pound
That was before the farm help problem
was the vital question it has been in
later years, However, while the ad-
Vanclng prices of most commodities are
about three times as much as in former
years, and none of them to the farmers
advantage, still the advancement in the
net price of sweet corn to the producer is
satisfactory and encouraging. So the
only slogan that seems to be worthy of
the consideration of the farmer this year
should be, "Plant corn" The same

phrase "by reason of geographical posi-
tion," Japan is given a reason for be-
iieving that she is to have free hand in
China.
When mandatory power is given to
nation 1T is evident that there must be
some power having authority to issue
mandate to such nation. Article III of
the covenant establishes this power in
the following language: "The executive
council shall consist of representatives of
the United States of America, The Brit
ish Empire, France Italy and Japan, to-
gether with representatives of four other
States, members of the league The Sc
lection of these four States shall be made
by the body of delegates" (rhis selection
has not yet been madeD "Meet-
ings of the council shall be held from
time to time as occasion may require
and at least once year, at whatever
place may be decided on, or failing any
such decision, at the seat of the League,
and any matter within the sphere of &C
ton of the League, or affecting the peace
of the world may be dealt with at such
meetings" Thus ii is proposed to estab-
lish an executive council which is really
supreme council which is to have power
of issuing mandates to the United States.
1t is inevitable that European nations will
have a majority representation in every
meeting of this council. We shall al
ways be in the minority, If we become
a member of the league of nations under
the provisions of Articles XIX and III
we shall be tied up and labeled to go
where European influences decide to send
US, whether it be to Turkey or to Africa

"U. S." Means
Real Protection

Out in the open, where seas
sweep the deck or wharf, where
the gale filings broad the icy
waters, fishermen who know
values wear U. S. ''Protected'
rubber boots. These boots will
keep your feet and legs dry
and warm.
Comfort, economy, durability
these are the qualities that
make ~. S." the best boots
for you.
u. S. "Protected" rubber
boots stand the hardest tests of
service. They are built for
double-duty, reinforced where
the wear is greatest. The Gov
eminent probably used more
U. S. ''Protected" rubber boots
during the war, than of all the
other makes combined.
Every pair of ~. S." bears
the ~. S. Sear'-trade mark of
the largest rubber manufacturer
in the world. Look for this
seal when buying rubber boots.
1t means real protection for
your feet and pocketbook.
