1000 MILE BOUNDARY
LINE WITHOUT A GUARD

Buffalo, Dec. 24.-The claim
that the 2,000 mile boundary line
between the United States and
Canada is without fort or military
guard can be restated today as a
fact, following the withdrawal of
q military force which all summer
and fall occupied Navy Island, in
the Niagara river just above the
falls.
The commandant OF the force
consisted of one private. They
were withdrawn on orders from
Ottawa and sent to winter quar-
tiers at Toronto.
Navy Island was awarded to
Canada when the boundary line
along the Niagara frontier was
drawn by treaty. 1t has an area
of about 80 acres and is one of
the most picturesque spots in the
Great Lakes chain.
Many years ago the Canadian
government leased Navy Island to
u Buffalo corporation which pro-
posed to establish vineyard and
orchard there. The concern did
not progress and ultimately sublet
its rights to tenant farmer who
was the sole permanent occupant
OF the island for a quarter of a
century.
Last spring the Canadian gov
eminent desired to break the lease
and took action upon clause
which provided that the instru-
ment would be nullified at any
time Canada wanted the island for
military purposes" The military
force was dispatched forthwith and
the island became military area of
Canada.
Winter evacuation was decided
upon to save the army from the
rigors OF field duty during the
months of low temperature.

BY ARCHER WALL DOUGLAS,
Chairman, Committee on statistics,
L. S. Chamber of Commerce.
Washington, Dec. 24.-The story
OF business conditions which
comes from the four corners of
the United States is that of con-
tinuing stagnant markets for all
farm commodities, coupled with
prices below the cost of produc
ton.
The situation differs az to To-
ralities In degree rather than N
kind. Farmers are buying only
things of immediate and pressing
necessity, for the very good reason
that most of them have neither
ready money nor credit. They arc
in an economizing mood that has
taken grim hold upon them. Coun-
try banks are loaned up all they
deem is safe, and the statements
OF many observers is, that getting
money from banks for any pur-
pose is impossible"
Spring Wheat States.
Business is quiet in the spring
wheat states especially where the
harvest was poor, or where the
quality of the wheat was not good.
Much the same situation prevails
where corn is the principal money
crop, and where its price is so low
that it is tragic in its effect on
business and on the needs of the
farmer. The price is now far be-
low what it was during it's high
period in war times. These condi-
tons account for poor business in
the spring wheat states Of the
northwest and the corn growing
sections of the middle west.
One reason for the lack OF n
better demand for corn is the
enormous crop of this cereal pro-
duced this year by he south.
more than enough for its own
needs, when in the past it drew
upon the surplus corn states for
much of its wants.
Livestock, wheat and oats are
only trifle higher proportionatelv
in price than corn and consequent
ly there is no especial reason, save
necessity, to sell them. That is
about the only reason that agri-
cultural commodities are coming
TO market in such volume as now
plSNdiIS lle ldfIlleF must nave
money to make some purchases.
since credit is difficult for him to
obtain. But the scanty returns he
receives for his products offer 10
inducement for him to sell, and
consequently business upon the
countryside continues in moderata
volume, although it is really larger
than would seem likely under pre-
vailing conditions.
Decline in Cotton.
Matters are somewhat better In
the southern states, although the
recent decline in cotton put
crimp in that general buying
which had got well under way.
This buying was also affected BY
the revelation that an official esti-
mate Of this years production of
cotton was apparently wide of the
mark.
AS always there are many minor
causes that relieve and alleviate
the stringement in the agricultural
situation. There is the dairy COW
