ATTEMPTS to Fix Prices.

In the last few years the opinion seems
to have gained ground that price fixing
could be more or less easily accomplish
cd either through legislation or organ.
ization. Az in many other old estab.
lished customs the old slogan of supply
and demand has been more or less lost
sight of. To see whether or not this old
law has been working, your attention
has been called to two charts of two
leading crops of Maine. apples and pota
toes.
The dark lines represent the supply or
production, while the red lines indicate
the price which went along with the
production, and that the years covered
are from 1918 to 1919 inclusive. Not
withstanding the fact that this period
covers the unsettled conditions of the
greatest armed conflict In history, when
the supply has been abnormally large In
both Of these crops, the price has beer
comparatively less.
Does this not carry very clear reason
to bs followed by the cooperative organ
izations of our state In their plans fol
better marketing? The lesson is thai
our aim should be to use the most accu
rate data available through the market
ing organization to keep these producti
moving whenever the available crop pro
duction shows that certain level o
prices is liable to obtain. Such policy
pursued year after year, is bound to re
suit in sn average net gain, which In tht
end will amount to great deal more
than taking chances BY holding and sell
ing ct irregular intervals and loading tht
market. These slow gains will event
ually make contentsd farm homes and l
more permanent agriculture for Maine.-

New street.car Idea.

The objections to the so-called
safety cars" which were introduced
during the last few years, have been
met in Seattle by the invention Of
what Is called q one-man-two-m
street car. The design Of this car per-
.mits of its being operated In the
slack hours by one man, while In the
busy hours, with a little rearrange-
ment Of the interior, 1t Is changed
to make provision for the addition
of conductor. This is said to meet
the great criticism Of the safety"

ONE HIGH SCHOOL A DAY
For Twenty-Elght Years That Has
Been the Record This Coun.
try Has Made.

In a pamphlet on high schools in
this country, Issued by the federal bu-
reau of education, 1t is stated that the
total number of these schools In 1917
1S was 1881. The mailing list OF
the bureau includes the names OF
1890 high schools. The number
of these schools has increased over
452 per cent since 1890. This means
that one high school has been estab-
lished In this country each day In
each calendar year since 1904 high
school a day for 2S years.
In 1890 60.s per cent Of the high
schools were under public control. but
In 1918 the public-controlled high
schools were 81 per cent Of the whole.
The average size Of a city high
school is 653 students and Of rural
school SO students.
In 1890 only 812 persons In each
1000 population were enrolled In pub
lie high schools. In 1913 the CORE
spending number was 1873. or almost
FIVE times as great proportion. Call
fornia leads in high-schoOl education,
with u persons out Of each 1000 In
the population. Kansas Is close sec
ond, with South Carolina at the bot
tom Of the list, with 5.3 persons.
