Cooperative Plan for
Marketing Maine Potatoes

A. B. Clement of Portland. man.
ager of the Maine Farmers Exchange,
was a caller Saturday at the State
Department Of Agriculture in con-
ference regarding the feasibility Of
marketing of Maine potatoes in
Maine cities through the agency Of
the exchange, which is a coopera-
tive organization for locaN Farmers
Unions and Oranges. 1t is planned
to ship potatoes from Aroostook
county and other points to Biddeford,
Saco. Portland. Lewiston, and prob
ably to Bath, and there to help out
the farmers by handling the potatoes
for them. These will be table stock
potatoes. This move will help the
consumers to get good potatoes at
less price and help the farmers to
dispose of their stock. Due to the
wet spring the potato crop in Maine
is only about half as large as usual.
While many of the other states have
bumper crops. The plan Of the Farm
crs' Exchange is being worked out
in cooperation with the State Blu
reau OF Markets.

DR.. A. 0. THOMAS
in BIG DEMAND IN
STATE AS A SPEAKER

DR.. Augustus o. Thomas, State su-
perintendent of schools, returned
Saturday from Manchester, n. H..
where he was one Of the speakers at
the New Hampshire State Teachers
Convention, taking for his topic,
The Newer Aims of Education Rep
resented in Industrial Movements. i"
Miss Florence Hale, State agent for
rural schools, also addressed the
sessions. DR.. Thomas reported that
it was very interesting and profit
able convention, $500 teachers being
in attendance. The meeting was so
vide it into two sections. New
Hampshire has for the large part the
same problems OF education to con-
tend With that Maine has.
DR.. Thomas keeps in his office a
very interesting and novel record of
his speaking engagements, this be-
ing in the form of map of the State
with a circle and dots representing
each of the communities in which he
has spoken. The dots represent the
number of times DR.. Toomas has spo-
ken in each place A glance at the
map shows that there are few places
in the State where the superintend
cnt of schools has not visited there
being in fact less than so in the $40
towns of Maine. In one town he has
spoken II times. He has addressed
approximately 100000 citizens of the
State. His plan in visiting a COM
munity is to visit the schools during
the day and address the citizens in
ths evening.
On account of the many speaking
engagements that the superintendent
of schools has from now to the first
of the coming year he will be I'M
able to accept any new ones. He is,
a busy man not only as leader in
the education movement, but as a

N.xt Meetino Of Governor Friday

Governor Percival P. Baxter of
Maine has been asked to endorse
Navy Day" and on being interview
ed said. The American Navy is and
always has been the pride Of cur
Nation. Its personnel cannot be sur
passed, | doubt IL it can be equo'led
and 1t occupies warm place in the
hearts OF our people.
AT the present time, however, l
believe II unnecessary and unwlse to
undertake a campaign to bring our
Navy into prominence, when within
The year under President Harding
and Secretary Hughes great leader

made by the leading naval powers
to reduce ornaments and to estab-
lish a naval holiday.
Many of the sponsors Of Navy
Day are inspired by patriotism while
a few others may be actuated by less
worthy motives. What will the world
think of the United States if, in the
face Of our binding promises. pre-
raratons for naval expansion are
made II every nation holds a Navy

Movements Of that gathering.
This country must maintain an
adequate army and navy for defense
against enemies from without as well
rs from the more subtle and insidu-
Gus enemies within. In some Of the
states Of the Union the followers OF
Sovietism are trying to undermine
society. All such attempts must be
checked at the outset. Our people.
however, should be careful to dstin-
luish between the farseeing patriot
J. citizens who by advocating a
world wide reduction of ornaments
seek 10 remove the causes Of war,
und those Soviets who seek TO weak
~ the nations strength so they may
iush in and overwhelm us. The first
are patriots: the latter are enemies

Almost every public man who re-
turns from France speaks of the
great armies maintained by that
country and the dangers incident
thereto. Our fnauciers are con-
t.utly calling upon France to re-
'Ice her armies so she may pay her

the public the method by which the
glare of a headlight can be reduced

produce more driving light on the
