Boston & Maine
Has a sS7,348,086
Deficit for 1921
Situation Resulting From
Loss Partially Met by Re-
duciion of Supplies on
Hand, Says the President

Gross income of the Boston (; Maine
Bailrosd for 1921 fell $7,348,086 short
90 meeting fixed charges, according to
a statement issued to the stockholders
to-day. In 1920 there was a net loss
OF SIT, ,l32,481. disregardng the govern
ne ent compensation received during
ght months of that year. Disregard
ing also tho guaranteed return for tn e
ears 1918 and 1919, 1921 was the
L0urth consecutive year of operation at
= loss. President J. II. Hustis ex-
plains in his report that the situation
lesulting from the 1921 loss was par
ally met by reduction in the stock
Of material and supplies on hand, and
by advances from the government on
account of final settlement for the
Federal control and guaranty periods.
Operating revenues Of $89,289,7 ,750
represented q decrease OF $8,362,99 by
comparison with 1920. At the same
time operating expenses decreased SIT
155,960 to 3,S33,472, and the result
was net operating revenue of S4,456,-
2I8, compared with a net operating loss
of $4,3S6687 in 1920. After deducting
tax accruals and uncollected revenues
and adding revenue derived from other
spurces the company had gross income
OF S3,436.270, with which to meet fixed
charges amounting to Sl0,784,3b6.
The report states that the freight
and passenger business, which had
| cached high record in 1920, fell off
} Pm 1921 to an extent never before ex-
perienced In the history Of the railroad
a' between one year and another. The
fevenue ton miles in 1921 amounted to
2,673, ,76e 900, compared with 3,7O5.52S.
900 in 1920, decrease of 27.8 per cent.
whereas preliminary figures for class
] railroads show decrease of 25.2 per
cent for the country as whole and
2'.4 per cent for the Eastern district
The passenger miles in 1921 amounted
70 876,112,9S4, as compared with
.014,734,717 in 1920 q decrease of 13,

The result of the county. conventions
in the Ninth congressional district
last Saturday proves that the old
Congressman, HalvOr Stevenson, still
has strong hold upon the affections
Of the voters, Notwithstanding the
good and able men. who made the
contest with him for congressional
honors. Every county in the district.
with one or two exceptions, was car
ried by MI Stennerson and no other
name is likely to be presented to the
Moorhead convention next week. Such
high endorsement will indeed be a
fitting and deserved compliment to Mr..
STEVENSON, as his congressional career
is drawing toward it's close. Too
soon, indeed, in the course Of nature,
his mantle will have to be taken up
by some younger man. MI. Stevenson
has given to the district, state and
nation, distinguished service and he
has no other ambition in life now than
to serve the people whom he repre-
sents faithfully and to the very best
of his ability.

The defeat of the county agent pro-
position at the referendum by
almost a two to one vote, assfar as
heard from, was almost a foregone
conclusion, as the time was too short
before the elections to have the pro-
position thoroughly discussed and ex-
planned. Many erroneous ideas and
arguments have been spread in re-
gard to the county agent matter and
there was no time to set the voters
right. While we believe mistake
has been made and that this great
agricultural county will take step
backward when it dispenses with the
county agent, yet we also believe in
majority rule. The county board is
not likely to make an appropriation
in the face of this vote. Whether
the services of county agent can
be maintained in the absence Of an
appropriation from the county is a
matter for the county farm bureau
federation to consider. If some way
can be found by which the work may
be kept up, farmers will eventually
see the benefits to be derived there

There is considerable tisfaction
among farmers with reference to the
1921 weed law and many favor a
return to the old, ineffective system
of town board control. The trouble
with the old weed law was that few
town boards were willing to incur
the displeasure of their neighbours by
enforcing the law, which remained a
dead letter, while the weeds grew and
spread unmolested To remedy this
weakness, the legislature placed the
administration of the weed law under
the State Department. Of Agriculture,
with State Weed Inspector at the
head Of several district inspectors and
local weed inspectors in the various
counties where weeds are a menace.
The new law was tried out last year
and from one years operation it is
impossible to tell how effective it may
be-. 1t is quite possible that expert
ence will show that some changes in
the law are necessary. But no sys-
tenn Of weed control will be effective
without the hearty cooperation of all
farmers and land owners. The eX-
pense of maintaining weed inspectors
Is considerable, but weeds are also
expensive and cause great loss. The
surest way to do away with the. loss
and expense is for everybody to CO
operate in fighting the weeds and then
there will be no need of weed in
spectors.@ Pr =. ~, >. :. 9. d.

The Pneumonia Month

March is a typical pneumonia month
and usually gives high rate of NOR
tally for the disease. After long
and hard winter, the system loses
much Of it's resistance and people
grow careless. When every cold, no
matter how slight, is given prompt
and intelligent attention, there is
much less danger Of pneumonia. It
should be borne in mind that pneu-
monia is a germ disease and breeds
in the throat. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is an expectorant and cleans
out the germ laden mucus and not
only cures a cold but prevents it's re-
sulting in pneumonia. It is pleasant
to take. Children take it willingly.
