of his nephew on the day he left for

their farewell was heightened by the

his hat cheerily from the other side
of the iron screen, and was lost from
sight in the hurrying crowd. And as
he disappeared, an unexpected poign-

no energy to recOil from the shock. l.
seemed to him that the last fragment
of his familiar world had disappeared,
leaving him all alone forever.

Waldo Pomona Grange

Waldo Pomona Grange was entertained
by Harvest Moon Grange, Thorndike, May
4th Although the roads were not in auto
condition and this grange is at the extreme
corner of the county, there was a very large
attendance, with Worthy Master Aborn
in the chair, and State Master Thomp-
son, an honored guest. After the usual
business routine the waiting time" was
profitabiy taken UP by the State Master
His talk was largely along the line of
good of the order. He gave very en-
couraging report of the oranges in Maine;
they were having the best meetings and
in the most prosperous condition he had
ever known. There was no question but
what farmers should organize to buy and
sell, but they received in the grange a
growth, an education and confidence in
one another that was of still greater val
ue
Three candidates were instructed in
the fifth degree. The noon hour with
its abundance of good things, was greatly
enjoyed by ALL Grange reconvened,
opened by singing by the choir.
AS the State Master was obliged to
leave on an early train, other matters
were passed over for the time being and
the time was given to him. The State
master asked the question, "What other
order at this busy season of the year in
the daytime and considering the condition
of the roads could bring together such a
large assemblage of men and women2
The State masters address was upon the
resources and natural beauty of Maine.
He said in part, Names area is one-half
that of the New England States, three
fourths of the forests are in Maine,
Names water power is first, her farming
land the best, 500 cities, towns and plan
tatIons incorporated, 500 unincorporated.
Except in Norway no other forests re-
seed themselves so quickly as in Maine.
Out West it takes long term of years to
grow up trees; here, we are constantly
lighting to keep trees down. Travellers
tell us that for six months of the year the
scenery of Maine is unsurpassed.
Next was fine address of welcome by
Mrs. Belle Crosby, very pleasantly re-
sponded to by Mrs. Annie Murch of Dr.
rigo Grange, followed by the topic, Re-
solved, that every dairyman in Waldo
county should become a member of the

and further discussed by brothers Foster,

An announcement was made that the
sixth degree would be conferred in Bel
fast, date to be announced later.
At the census seven oranges reported.
A vote of thanks was given Harvest
Moon Grange for the courtesies of the
day.

MRS. SUSAN M. TOWLE

Mrs. Susan M. Towle died Monday af-
ternoon, May 10th, at the residence of
Mr.. and Mrs. Altana E. Dutch, where she
had lived for the past eleven years. Her
age was 90 years and 6 months. She was
born in North Searsport, the daughter of
Cornelius and Susan Munsey Marden, and
in early life married David Towle, who
with their six children died many years
ago. Mrs. Towle possessed remarkably
pleasant disposition, was all her life a
devout Christian and a member of the
Baptist church. In her eightieth year
she went to Fresno, Calf to live with
her brother, Wilson Marden, who died
within the year, and she returned to Bel
fast. Since then she had been happy and
contented in her late home. One half
brother, Charles c. Marden of Belfast,
survives her. The funeral was held at
her late home Wednesday at p. m. with
Rev George C. Sauer of the Baptist
church officiating. The interment was
in the family lot in North Searsport.

Mr. Palmer says: Clover prices are
inst around the corner" Mistaken once
more Mr.. Palmer. Step around any cor
ner YOU come to and you will find high
prices staring you impudently ip the face.
Just around the cold storage corner you
will find eggs, meat, butter, lard and
many other food products being piled
away not to lower but to force higher
prices, Around another corner you will
find the cotton combine holding the price
of cotton at 40 cents pound, more than
four times its pre- war price. Step around
the administration corner, 60 along to
the Cuba corner and then to the very
law abiding and patriotic corner IN
Louisiana and you will find rs cent sugar.
Go anywhere and you will find only one
corner lust around which lower prices
exist and that is the Liberty Bond cor
ner. Here prices have fallen about %
per cent. With this exception, lust
round the corner" is the home OF high
prices. and after all your investigations,
costing thousands of dollars, it is passing
strange that you have failed to discover
that fact.

The Plumb plan for the control and
MANAGEMENT of the railroads was herald
ed bv all the radical members OF the rail-
road brotherhoods as being panacea Tor
their Dersonal troubles, and as certain
cure of all transportation ailments. There
e M need now to discuss the details OF
the Plumb plan because it has gone into
the discard. 1t was claimed at one time
nv it's promoters that it had the endorse
ment of all the railroad brotherhoods and
also of the American Federation of Labor.
This claim never had truth for its founda-
+;on From the first the honest and dis
earning members of all labor ORGANIZATIONS
raa1ized the danger which it threatened
and to the credit of a majority oil the
railroad men and the Federation OF Labor
also if can be said that the Plumb plan
never received their endorsement. Inc
railroads of the United States are racing
a crisis and the main hope OF coming
through all right is the fact that the en-
ploves, the owners and the public have
learned that they must work together for
the good of all.

DIR RAILROAD DEVELOPMENT

There are $4,000 miles of railroads IN
the United States, having total track
age equivalent to about 10000 miles OF
single track. This does not include the
trackage of the trolley systems which is
about so. 600 miles, Altogether we have
single trackage enough to reach around
the world IS times. Our railroads, in
Guiding the trolleys, use 100, 600, 900 tons
of coal and 10000, 900 barrels of oil an
nual]y. There are in the United States
about CTS electric locomotives operating
on 1900 miles of electrified track. In all
the rest of the world there are somewhat
less than S0O,O miles of single trackaee
and but $50 electric locomotives operating
on some 1,75O miles of trackage. 10 state
the case briefly the above hgures sho"
that the rest of the world has only ABOUT
two-thirds as many miles OF steam OF
electric roads as are operated IN Ihe
United States. The use OF fuel by our
railroads is so enormous that not only are
prices thereby raised to high level ou'
fears are entertained that we are drawing
too heavily upon our supply, which prop
ably is not inexhaustible. 1t is estimated
that if all the motive power Tor the ran
roads could be furnished by electricity
the cost of fuel used would be reouceu
about 70 per cent. This, however, cannot
be done, but it is within bounds to say
that a great increase in hydro eiectrlc
power is certain, and that the installation
of large central power stations at polh's
near coal mines will provide electric pow
or for railroads and for other purposes
over a wide section of adjacent country

NEW HIGH MARK IN
 COAL PRODUCTION
By Associated Press

Washington. December 12-Produc- tion of both bituminous and anthracite coal reached new high mark for the year during the week Of December 4, according to a statement tonight by the geological survey, showing the Jut- put for the week to have been 19,757.- 900 tons of bituminous and 2,051 900 tons of anthracite.
 The weeks soft coal production has been exceeded only four times since the geological survey has been recording the weekly output, three of which weeks were in 1918 and one last year.
 The record production of bituminous coal was attributable, the survey said to the ability of the railroads to sup ply cars. Figures obtained by the sur vey showed that 232,340 cars had been delivered to the mines and this, it ex- plained, was done in the face of with drawal by the interstate commerce. commission a few days previously of all priorities on open-top cars.
