speaks with deep emotion.

The open sessions are colorful and
exciting. but not important at this
stage. The entire land armament limi-
tation question Is pretty well discount

lies in the secret negotiations. There Is
evidence of rapid progress in the dir

The news that leaks from the closed
shutters is hat Great Britain and Japan
are taking more liberal views of their
respective modification suggestions. The
former concerning submarine and re-
placement. and the latter concerning the
proposed ratio of 500. 900 tons OF capital
ships for Britain and the United States
and 100000 for Japan. No one on the
outside knows that Balfour and Kato

the Hughes plan. But there are indi-
cations that their resistance has been
materially reduced.

not many for few trees can withstand

1.-THE Balsam Fir is a tree which
satisfies many human wants, but the
greatest of all its gifts is the Christ
mas tree. AS a Christmas tree it has
no superior, and in many localities no
other native tree has Christmas tree
qualities that even approach it. The
European Fir, so common throughout
many parts of Continental Europe
has many characteristics in common
with our Balsam Fir. 1t, too, has
been used for centuries as a Christ
mas tree. The similarity between
these two trees is very marked, which
may have helped develop our, high
regard for the Balsam Fir and rate
it as the foremost Christmas tree of
the eastern United States.
"On the trunk of the Balsam will
be found large number of little blis-
terlike sacs of balsam. A finger nail
will puncture the little blisters and
there will flow small quantity OF
balsan1, as clear as crystal. When
refined, this is used in making
microscopic slides in our scientific
laboratories. 1t is used chiefly to at

fords the most conspicuous fields for
such efforts, on account Of it's ex-
tensive area and high average value
of its farms per acre and the f1uctua-
tons in the yield and price of its
principal product" said Commissioner
Lawrence. ITO maintain the potSto
growing industry at its present vol
ume Of activity requires q vast
amount of working capital which the
farmer himself can furnish only to a
limited degree. The typical Aroos-
took farmer owns extensive and
valuable acres but requires heavy adj
vances to carry his operations
through the season. If the yield is
disappointing or the price low these
advances are not automatically
liquidated and he must be carried
to another year.
There is no reasonable doubt that
this typical farmer is entitled to the
credit he seeks. The fertility of his
soil is unquestioned and he owns or
has substantial equity in his real
estate. 1t would tie difficult to
imagine a series Of catastrophcs suf-
ficient to destroy the value inherent
in this splendid farming land. The
land being the real basis OF his credit,
however, should be pledged to secure
that credit and the necessary fun.ls
should be advanced to the largest
possible degree from sources of long
time investment. The commercial
hanks should not bear the burden.
In the nature of things only a limited
proportion of their assets should he
tied up in long time investments,
however secure.
Furthermore, such a policy is ulti-
mately harmful to the farmer, for it
involves pressure upon him in hard
seasons, perhaps forcing sales both of
his product and his real estate at I'M
favorable times, whereas il money
was acquired from long time invest
ors, he would have a much greater
degree of control over his opera
