GREENWOOD

With the approach of Spring our
farmers are preparing for the curren
years crops. From present indications
every one is hopeful for a successful
year for the farmers; unless killed by
a late cold snap, there promises to be
a large fruit crop, and with the grad
ual resumption of business in the in
dustrial centers the markets for the
farmers products will be better this
season. Agriculture ranks first in val
ue in this great country of ours, with
transportation second and etc. The
plow and harrow developed the coun-
try first, made it necessary to build
the railroads, to create industries
and build the cities, and when the
farmers enjoys prosperity, the nation
enjoys prosperity on a whole.
Charles B. Porter, our hustling ice
cream manufacturer has improved his
plant, and will start operation this
week, for the year, to serve his ever
growing trade on the peninsula.
The Greenwood Lumber Co., which
has been closed down for several
weeks, expects to resume operations
very soon, which will be of help, to a
number of our town people.
Constable William c. Short was
very unfortunate in losing twelve dol |
lars last Saturday, and it is hoped that |
it will be found and returned to him. !
Mr.. and Mrs. c. L. Reckord gave a
delightful party last Saturday after |
noon to all the little folks, in honor |
of their son, Jacks sixth birthday. |
Games of all kinds were indulged in .
by those present and they all depart
ed wishing Master Jack the usual re-
turns of the day.
Our town in common with many
others has been visited by an almost
epidemic of severe colds, la grippe for
the past two weeks.
Greenwood is still growing, Con-
tractor William l. Conaway having
two houses under construction at the
present time, and a third one in sight.
The Sunday excursion from Phila-
delphia and Wilmington to Cambridge
and way stations, brought a very
large number of our city friends and
relatives down for the day, last week.
These excursions appear to be very
popular, enabling a large number of
people to spend an entire day in the
country at very reduced rate.
Miss Curtis Jones, our Domestic I
Science teacher, spent the weekend
With Newark, N. j., friends.
Mr.. and Mrs. Earl D. Wiley of Do
Ter were the weekend guests of his

Industrial depression indicates the rapid
Strides of that industry, according TO the
national commission on public utilities.
survey completed by the commission
showed that FIVE states-Illinois, Indi-
ana. Michigan. Wisconsin and Ohio
have 2,350,000 light and power custom
ers, % per cent of the total number in
the country. Illinois possesses more
electric lighted homes than any other
state in the country.
California is far ahead in the number
of industrial power customers with o.
900, about one-sixth of the total for the
nation. the survey shows. That state
also showed the largest gain in power
users, 6.40O being added during last
year. Illinois ranks second in this list,
Pennsylvania third and Ohio fourth

state, is fifth.
The total number of industrial power
customers in the country on Jan. l was
429, 5S4, an increase of 194,19 during
the six-year period from 1916 The
largest yearly growth was in 1919, when

Insurance Man Urges Good Housekeep-

CHICAGO, Oct. 10.-Carelessness is
the cause of three-fourths of the annual
fire toll of $4,000 lives and property
worth half a billion dollars, according
to George B. Muldaur. general agent of
the Underwriters laboratories. in an adj
address, broadcast simultaneously from
20 radio stations last night as part of
the observance of Fire Prevention day,
the anniversary of the Chicago fire of
1871.
The time to put out a fire is before
1T starts, he said. mo amount of fire

universal carlessness. BY the education
of the public, industrial organizations
and school children to avoid carelessness.
indifference and selfishness, the desired
result can be brought about.
What do you know about the fire
hazards existing in your own house
When did you last go over the house
with a view of seeing if any danger ex-

box? Do you know how to operate it

Are there plenty of exits? Has it fire es-

PRESENT PRICES
IN GERMANY HIGH
Price of House Before War VIII Buy
Only Two Pairs of WOODEN
Stockings Now.

BERLIN. Oct. 1O.-About the only
thing that can be bought in Germany to-
day for one mark is a wire nail. I'm
der the present quality standards of pro-
ductiOn," remarks a native pessimist,
1.-THE nail may or may not be strong
enough to hang ones self on after he has
looked over the other increases in
prices"
Before the war 1000 marks would
pay for 20 suits of clothes. Today that
sum will purchase a vest. A good piano
could be bought then for 900 marks, a
sum now required for pair of boys
shoes Five hundred pre-war marks
sufficed to build a small house, while now
it scarcely foots the bill for two pairs
of women's wooden stockings. Two
pounds of butter can be found on the
market today for 400 marks, or the pre-
war price of a mich COW.
One cannot get a spool of thread to-
day for the former price of a sewing
machine. Fifty marks once bought a
ladys silk dress: now it will buy a
cheap handkerchief. There was a time
some eight years ago, when one could
get a bottle of champagne for what II
costs now to ride on the subway. Two
cigarettes are worth what 100 of the
same quality cost in 1914.
To follow the daily rise in prices at
the present time, the Berlin newspaper
reader must pay six marks for a copy
of his favorite journal. In the good
old days" the paper cost him 60 times
less. or 10 pfennigs.

ENGLISHMEN GIVE
II. S. BURKE STATUE
Presentation by Sulgraye Institute at
WashingtOn-Busts of Pitt and

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-The
statue of Edmund Burke, member of
the British parliament and staunch
friend of the American colonists, was
presented to the city of Washington and
to the nation today by the Sulgrave In
stitute of England II is of bronze in
heroic size. weighing $500 pounds, and
is a reproduction of the statue erected in
memory of the beloved Irishman, at
Bristol, England. 1t depicts Burke in
an imprisoned attitude in the midst of
a speech.
The site. on Massachusetts avenue be-
tween Eleventh and Twelfth streets, is
on a triangular park in the midst of the
residential section, overlooking several
historic points, and facing toward the
Carnegie public library.
The Sulgrave Institute is a body COM
posed of Americans, Englishmen and
Canadians. whose purpose is the promo
ton of friendly relations among those
countries. 1t is the owner of Sulgrave
manor. whence it gains the name, the
birthplace of George Washington
father, and long the home of the English
branch of that family.
The impressive dedication exercises
We're attended by a group of prominent
English members of the society who
journeyed to this country to present to
Americans memorials to three English
men, famous IN the history of that coun-
try and the United States. The three
statues were given to Americans by the
society and erected at their expense,
only the sites being given. President
Harding was asked to receive the Burke
statue in behalf of the nation. The
other two memorials consisted of busts
of William Pitt. Earl of Chatham dur
ing the American Revolutionary days,
and of Viscount Bryce, long ambassador
of Great Britain in Washington.

Seven petitions for a pardon will
| be considered at the session Of the
governor and council Tuesday.

states prison at ThomastCn for
murder, Lillian Breen of Rockland

court for Cumberland county in 1906
| Of the murder of John +. Sleeves at

| agreeing at a prior trial. In his pc
| tition for a pardon, Cole claims that
[he was not at Falmouth but in Cape
Elizabeth and Portland on the date of
| the murder. that he feels that he was
convicted by prejudice rather than by
evidence that the alibi which he
sought to establish was true, and that
| he desires to return to his home in
Nova Scotia and to his calling as a
sailor to remove by his future hon
orable conduct and toll as far as is
humanely possible the shadow cast
upon his life by his unjust and long
Imprisonment. A copy of the evidence

time of the Portland City Building

In his petition Bennoch states that
he believes that he has been suffi-
GENTLY punished, that he has a wife

tween four and IS years of age and
that his wife is in poor health.
| Knox was convicted in the Kenne-
bee superior court in September, 1921,
of an assault with a dangerous weap-
on. In his petition he says that he
should be pardoned because with his
confinement before the trial he has al
ready served year. because Of the
destitute condition Of his family and
| because he has served a length of
| time commensurate with the offense
which he is alleged to have committed.
Lillian Breen was convicted in the
supreme judicial court for Knox coun-
| ty Of the single sale Of four ounces of
Jamaica ginger to Elmer W. GRAHAM.
She was sentenced to pay q fine of
$500 and costs and to serve three
