PROSPERITY DEPENDS
on FARM PRICES

A nationwide survey Of prevailing
crop and business conditions gives US
definite knowledge upon which to base
our conclusions as to the probable
trend Of things in the mediate future.
The story is much the same every
where-a partial and unequal harvest.
plentiful returns in close juxtaposition
with parched and burnt up fields;
both prices and demand for farm prod
uets that are far from satisfactory to
the producers. Yet these same products
are seeking market wherever they
can find it that the obligations of the
farmer may be discharged. There is
an abundance of foodstuff in the
country despite small yields in some
grains.
An enormous inflow of wheat to
market indicates that there is nothing
to that old stuff about farmers holding
back supplies artificially to force up
the price; likewise that there is more
wheat in the country than official fig
ures declare.
One matter is most important in the
horoscope of the future The measure
of the volume of business and of our
commercial welfare hangs upon the
demand for farm products and their
consequent prices for the year. All
other "barometers" are as nothing
by comparison, and can be relegated to
the scrap heap. Fortunately, at this
writing, Europe is importing largely of
our grains and the exports of cotton
from July l to date are more than
double those for the same period of
last year.
Cotton, as usual, has done the unex-
pected. Sustained higher prices mean
an amount of business in the South
that can come from no other cause.
Nor does it seem likely that there will
be that fatal and futile holding of cot
ton for impossible higher prices that
characterized the previous season. The
memory of that desperate mistake and
its enduring consequences are too re-
cent to bring its repetition.
One possibility is at least worthy of
passing thought. If there be demand
of any moment, both foreign and do
mestic, from now on, and this at least
seems likely, the greater portion of the
carry-over of cotton in this country
will have been practically used up by
July of next year. With general bust
ness and readjustment on an ascending
scale, both at home and abroad; we
shall be facing a situation where the
greater part of the worlds supply of
cotton will depend upon the growing
crop in this country. What such a con-
tingency means to the prosperity of the
South sounds too optimistic to put in
cold print.
Already tho new phase of the situa-
tion finds expression not only in wide
spread more cheerful feeling in the
cotton belt, but also in somewhat frser
buying. This is true likewise in the
grain region, where farmers are liber.
ally marketing hogs, wheat and corn.
The commercial world will not reap
as much benefit from this as surface
indications seem to promise. For q
very considerable proportion of the
money the farmers receive for their
products will go to settling the obliga-
tions carried ovcr.-Archer Wall Doug.

Maine Conference Seminary in Bucks
port After studying law in the office of
James B. Murch in Belfast he was admit
ted to the Waldo County Bar, but soon
moved to Washington, where he practlc-
ed for over so years. During that long
period he frequently was employed in the
Waldo County Courts. He was man Of
firm ideas, legal, political and religious
and engaged in his farming with as much
enthusiasm as in his profession. He en-
tered politics in 1864, and was lifelong
Democrat. He served his town and his
county in many positions of trust. In
1890, he was elected to the State Senate
and attracted a great deal of attention as
''the lone Democrat in the Senate" Few
politicians were better liked than Mr..
Staples and few men have a record of
more kind deeds. For many years he was
master of Medomak Grange, was past
master of Riverside Lodge, F. x A. M. OF
jefferson and of Mt. Ouvet Lodge OF
Washington. He was a member
of Claremont Commandery, h. of ~
and was an Odd Fellow,a and was also
past master of Washington Lodge OF
United Workmen His unbounded good
| nature made him welcome everywhere,
| He never lost his interest in his home
| town and was prominent figure in its
| centennial celebration a few years ago,

An Important Business Deal

One of the most important real estate.
deals in Belfast which has taken place.
in long time, was the transfer in the.
past week of the 400 acres of land on
Congress street and the buildings thereon,
with the complete wireless station and,
outfit, from The International Radio Tele-
graph Company to the Radio Corporation
of America. With the acquisition by the.
Radio Corporation of America, the LARGEST
in the world, of the International Radio
and Telegraph Company, the Westing-
house Electric Company becomes sub
stantial stockholder in the former cor
poration, it has been announced at the,
Radio Corporation offices. Before the.
merger was eff ected, the General Electric
and the American Telephone and Tele-
graph Companies held large blocks Of
stock in the Radio Corporation of Ameri--
ca, and many of the General Electric's
patents were in use at the Radios sta
tions. Now that the Westinghouse has
become a stockholder, the Radio Cor
poration will have the use of other wire,
less apparatus, hitherto used by the In
ternational Radio and Telegraph Com
pany. This transfer of the Belfast prop
erty is of national importance for it also
carries with it the stations of the Inter-
national Radio and Telegraph Company
located at the Bush Terminal, New Lon
don, Conn; Newport, R. Il; Nantucket
Island and Cape May, N. j. These sta
tions are mainly for commu nication with
steamships on the Atlantic coast. Under
the merger plans it was estimated, as it
is believed, that the plants taken over
together with those already operated by
the Radio Corporation of America, will
be more than sufficient for present needs
Just what disposition will be made with
the Belfast property has not yet been
decided, but it is known that the station
here will be completed and that the pres
ent investment made by the International
Radio and telegraph Company of 500, ,00G
on Congress street will not be abandoned.
Orrin j. Dickey of this city, who has
been associated with the International
and Westinghouse companies since their
advent here, will continue with the Radio
Corporation of America, in the same ca
pacity, as the Belfast representative, and
it is expected that within short time
representatives of the Radio Corporation
will be in the city and arrange plans for
the continuance of the work on the Con-
gress street grounds, in increasing the
equipment and bringing the station to
early completion and use.

WALDO FAIR HAS LARGE CROWD.

The attendance at the Waldo Fair on
Labor Day was a record breaker with
several thousand present. There were
vehicles of all kinds, large train excur-
sion and autos galore from Belfast. WAL
do always stands back of her reputation
for good horse racing, but this season she
surprised herself. There were several
thrills not advertised and exciting acci-
dents, but nothing serious. All the old
timers were on the track and several
new ones, from which much was ex-
'pected, adding uncertainty and conse-
'quent excitement.
Each race was run twice around the
track making the heats 2-3 of mile. The
2. q class was started in two divisions on
account of the large number starting and
the dusty track. There were five heats
in the 2.l8 class

OF OMNIBUS
 BILL IS IN DOUBT

The status of the omnibus roads bill was generally dicussed yesterday and members of the legislature who re- mained in town withheld opinions, which they said were within the pro- vince only of lawyers. They had pre- pared the problem; it was for the gen. tlemen of the law to solve it.
 But there was speculation as to what would result if it should tram spire that the bill had been rendered less effective than the legislature in tended it to be by the Barry amend ment; whether the governor would sign it.
 In case he should do so the road building fund of the state would he reduced to about S400 ,OO0; that IS, if the Barry amendment should be con- strued as striking out the project ap- rrorriations. To that would be added the gasoline tax of about $179,000 and about $220,OOO from the automobile

HANIGAN NEW
 GUARD INSPECTOR

Lieutenant Colonel H. H. Hanigan has been appointed inspector instruct or of the Arizona National Guard and will arrive in Phoenix on Monday, ac- cording to word received by Adjutant General Ingalls,. The colonel will take the place of Colonel John J. Boniface, who is leaving on Saturday for Santa Fe, his new headquarters.
 The departure of Colonel Boniface will be generally regretted by the guardsmen by whom he is generally liked. He has made splendid record while serving in the capacity of sen- for inspector instructor for Arizona and New Mexico.
 Colonel Hanigan comes to Phoenix from Massachusetts where he has been since August. When he was detailed to that state it had in all but four troops of cavalry, while today Massa- chusetts has two complete regiments of infantry, two regiments of artill- cry 75's, one regiment of engineers, one divisional supply train, 12 com panies of coast artillery and has al- most completed it's ambulance com pany. Colonel Hanigan also organ ized the Guard of Minnesota which ranks third in the United States. Be- fore the war he was connected with the California National Guard. In his letter to Colonel Ingalls, he said that he was delighted to come to Arizona, having asked the militia department for the detail.-Phoenix Republican.
