clared. I'VE think the farmers ought
to slow down until there is price
adjustment. No one Is suffering; no
one is In want Of food products. The
farmer Is willing to take loss, but
he can't lose 1t all.
The market is showing some re-
sponse already. and in sixty days
there ought to be readjustment in
market prices. The Iiwa bankers are
willing to go with us and work with
the farmers, and we look for more
favorable conditions soon."

Unprecedented
House Building
In PHILADELPHIA

Philadelphia, April PA campaign
for the building of homes is Phila-
delphia's answer to the question Of
how to keep rents down to a reason
able basis: The tenant population is
in desperate straits for rents have
been going higher and higher and
no end seems to be in sight. The
scramble for homes in the suburbs is
SO acute that when one woman
moved some of the furniture out of
her home, the other day, in order to
clean house, 25 persons tried to rent
it from her within a few hours.
To stop the profiteering in rents
and homes, several organizations
are attempting to unite on a pro-
gram of house building to continue
for at least six months or until the
shortage has been relieved. These
organizations include Associations of
Tenants, Trade Unions. representa-
tives of the building trades and
mortgaging companies. They have
been asked to undertake this work
by the department of Public We'll
fare.
Meanwhile camping ground Access
sible by street cars is in great de-
mand. Tent manufacturers say more
orders have been placed for tents
this month than ever before in Phil
adelphia's history.
There is an unprecedented amount
of building Of cheap cottages and
bungalows within a radius of 30
miles of Philadelphia to accommo-
date the rush of tenants that is eX-
pected when mild weather comes.
Those erected in one community cost
about $500 each and are eagerly
rented at $3.50 for the season.
Old canal boats lying along the
Schuylkill river are being fitted out
as dwellings and families are glad to
rent them as temporary homes.

Mrs Burrilrs early life was passed

greatly missed by all who knew her.
She has been in i'll health for the past
three years, but recently n compiled

that could be, it was of no avail, and

BELFAST
w. r. Clifford Passes Away
Winterport Library Fund
Receives $2O0O-Dull Court
Term Acknowledgements
Club Booming

William r. Clifford died last
night at the home of his mother.
Mrs. Annie L. Clifford, Northport
avenue, after brief illness. He was
a barber by trade and for years was
with his father, the late William
Harry Clifford in the Masonic Tenn
pie building. Two sons survive him
together with his mother, one sis
ter, Mrs. Fife Clifford Cilley and
one brother. Walter J. Clifford Of
Belfast. Funeral services will be
held at the residence on Thursday,
Rev. George c. Sauer of the Baptist
church officiating.
A gift Of $4,000 in memory of their
parents, Z. Ferren and Nancy Chase
Blaisdell, has been given to the town
of Winterport by the Blaisdell Bros,
Inc, of New York, to be applied to
the building fund Of the public IL
brary which citizens of that town
are to erect in honor Of the soldiers
of the World war. "A lot of several
acres in the centre of the town, sit
uated on Main and Wing streets has
been given by Mrs. Harriet Page
Lewis, on which the building will be
placed and which will also be used
for an athletic field and public park
The matter was preached at the an
nual town meeting and oral pledges
amounting to about $1,000 were re-
ceived. 1t is hoped that other for
mer residents will come forward as
have the Blaisdells and assist in the
matter.
1t looks very much as if the April
term of the Waldo county Supreme
Judicial court would break num-
Der of records. In the first place
the grand jury had nothing to con-
slider and consequently reported no
indictments after going into session
for a brief time. Now it looks as if
the traverse juries would have
nothing to deliberate upon for up to
Wednesday afternoon there had been
no trials and it is predicted there
will be none. Waldo county seems
to be not only free from crime but
also from neighborhood rows, for
the civil docket, including a number
of divorce libels, numbers less than
so new entries of which few if any
will be heard this term. The di-
vorce mill is about the only thing
grinding this term and Judge Deasey
heard several on the first day of the
term.
The matter Of county almshouse
and dispensary is still unsettled, a
number of the towns passing the
matter by at their town meetings
without elaboration. Other towns
took up the matter and voted favor
ably. Those who have looked into
the matter believe that it is not only
a far better arrangement for the
poor where they can be given better
housing conditions and medical at
tendance, but that it will also be

much cheaper for the towns them
selves. Winterport and several OF
the 90 towns of the county are in
favor of the movement.
The Belfast Overalls club is re-
ceiving recruits every day and it is
hoped to have at least hundred in
denim within a few days. Others
who will not join the overall club
are planning to wear old clothes
and join the Patch Clothes move
ment. There seems to be a concert
ed movement towards conserving old
clothes and against buying new ones
that gives one in his Sunday clothes
a feeling of 'all dressed up and no
place to 60"
Bingham dresses have made their
appearance on the streets, for Tues
day was like a summer day. Many
of the High school girls have put
them on but bingham is not a cheap
material by any means as it once
