Taking a place in the news of the
world that in interest surpasses that
of Germany so far as the United
States is concerned is Japan. the
wonder country" of the Orient. There
are few Americans who can speak
authoritatively about the Nipponese.
One of them is DIR. Thomas f. Pot
terton of Brooklyn. n. Y, who has
spent much of his life there.
BY an unusual turn of good fortune,
the Universalist Associates have been
able to secure. DIR. Potterton for an
illustrated lecture at the Universal
list church on Winthrop street for
Tuesday evening, April 5. Not only
is DIR. PottertOn one of the greatest
living authorities or Japan and the
Japanese, but he is an extremely e,o-
cuent and informing speaker The
views of the Orient he has are re-
r1arkahlv good and really exclusive
The subject of his lecture will be
picturesque and Progressive .Japan."
The Jap question, with the coloni-
Zation problems on the Pacific coast
and the increased armament of the
Nipponose attracting world wide at
tentiOn are of just as much interest
to the people of Maine as they are to
the residents of California. While
the Associates have been to consid-
cradle expense to secure DR.. Potter
ton for this address, the admission
fee to the lecture has been placed so
low that there is no one who can af-
ford to miss being present.-Adv.

ST 4 TE HOUSE


+. Morrill, of the Durham & Morrill,
Co. announced that at two of his fac
tories the farmers were begging him
to open his books at .03c, that he
could get all the acreage he wanted
at this price and that he should put
out his books at once and secure it.
"A private conference of the i've
men appointed by the packers was
held, after which it was announced
that they would make a conditional
offer of oslo if the committee of the
growers would agree to go home and
help them get their acreage at that
price. At a price of .033c per pound
to the farmer, this would mean an
actual loss of three-fourths of one
cent per pound according to records
accurately kept in 1920, and there is
nothing in sight at the present time
that would indicate reduction in the
cost of growing for 1921.
1--WE were further informed that If
we failed to accept this price of .03ac
we would wreck our association per-
manently, but if we accepted, we
would be received with open arms by
our members upon our return home.
''In fairness to all it just as i'm
portant to the growers that the mar
ket for our sweet. corn be main
tanned as it is for the Gamers for
without the markets we cannot grow
sweet corn. In consideration of this
fact and this alone, the executive
committee did make a compromise
by offering to submit for the con-
sideration of the growers, a price Of
.04c. per pound. The committee
feels that after careful thrashing
out and considering all phases of the
question, in justice to the business
and to the growers, it might be best
to accept a sacrifice for the sake of
making permanent the industry
which means SO much to our State.
This proposition was fatty refused
by the Gamers and an announce
ment was made by them that they
would Immediately put out their
books at a price of 03c. and COM
plete the job of wrecking our asso-
citation.
1.-The executive committee of the
State Association accept the chal-
lenge OF the packers and believe that
we will be loyalty supported in this
act Of justice to all. Are you as a
local and as individual growers, will

square deal? Remember the spring
