BETTER DAYS AHEAD.

There is a growing sureness that
our country has better days ahead.
Of course, we have to go through a
presidential campaign every four
years, and while it may slow down
business a little we have no discus
sion of the tariff to rip the life out of
industries nor any agitation of our
financial system to lay the country
fiat. Harding and Cox are both
sound, level-headed Americans and
not cranks. They do not cater to any
form of .radicalism or rot.
Our country is not going to be Bill
ly organized, nor Billy sundayized,
nor Gomperized, nor bedizzened or
bedevilled by Reds, Fellows nor
Whites. The day of the professional
agitator and special class pleaders is
about ended. The minorities who adj
vocate group prosperity at the ex-
pense of all the rest of Gods chill
dren, and organizers of All-Wrong
clubs have a rocky road to travel and
will not get very far. The country
is too big to rally for any one idea
proposition or respond to appeals for
race hatred or special privileges for
any class or sex.-The Manufacturer
and Industrial News Bureau.

Thought Cape Ann Greenland.

Cape Ann, which furnished a bleak
and barren haven for adventurous ex-
plorers, was settled temporarily only
three years after the Mayflower ar
rived at Plymouth. Some evidence in
dicates that Thorwald's "Cape of the
Cross" which he thought to be pro-
lection Of Greenland, was the bleak
Cape Ann. Capt. John Smith landed
on what is now Cape Ann, and called
it Tragablgzanda in honor of Turk
ish Pocahontas who did not risk her
head, but who fed him while he was
prisoner. Captain Smith explored the
coast within two decades before the
Pilgrims came.
Reports like that of Captain Smith

ever, the early settlers seem to have

Massachusetts, became identified par
ticularly with fishing.

BEANS AND POTATOES
A Crop Production of % and S
Per Cent. Respectively For
This Year

According to the crop estimate
made May l by the agricultural de-
partment, there promises to be an
acreage shortage planted this year
of 20 per cent. on beans and 5 per
cent on potatoes as against last year.
Last year the potato crop was "a
million bushels less than in 1918 and
SO millions short of 1917. 1t would
seem from present conditions that
the shortage of potatoes will not be
nearly so much this year as was ex-
pected in spite of high seed prices
and great shortage of labor.
The department will make final
report as to acreage on both crops
July /.
With no large shortage indicated
on potatoes the indications point to
digging time being the safest time
for people Of this section to market.
When all the shrinkages that come
from holding potatoes, coupled with
the extra labor necessary for the ex-
ira handling are considered, every
thing points to the early sale as the
sure and safe one.
