we do not produce here
THE tariff is not going to interfere
with this commerce. Let those nations
which owe us such vast sums nav us
in goods which do not rob the Ameri-
can worker of n livelihood and the
American producer and manufacturer
of an opportunity to develop his busi
ness in this country. Let Europe CON
tinue to produce what VIC cannot pro
duce economically. but tho argument
of the importers and internationnlists
that We must let Germany, France,
England, Italy, Belgium, Central and
Northern European countries work
while our people walk the streets is
not only absurd but as conscicnceless
as the policy of buying the products of
these countries in deprecated foreign
paper money and selling at several
thousand per cent profit to the Ameri-
can consumer.
Bankers Declared Selfish
Ever since this tariff has been be
fore the Senate there has been no doubt
about the source of the opposition II
is in the minds of the bankers and i'm
porters, who have become too big for
America, whose interests are world in
terests so long as they can make money
out of the American to finance their
world wide schemes. | want other ma
tions to be prosperous, but | am con-
WINGED that we can best help the world
by preserving and increasing our pros
pcrity here. This is not true of the in
tcrnntionnl bankers, who invested in
foreign securities and whose hearts are
where their money is. This is the same
crowd which tried to jam this country
into the League of Nations. They would
sell the American markets to European
producers for the next hundred years
if they could profit by it themselves.
This is another example of conscience
less business.
ever since this tariff bill has been
before the Senate the Democrats have
been harping on the consumer. They
try to camouflage their real policy,
which is free trade, by waving the flag
of the consumer If we legislate to
take care Of producers no one will be
benefited more than the consumer, who
is a producer himself unless he is a
loafer or tramp. am interested in
seeing Congress lcgislate to protect
workers, not in the interest of more
loafcrs. The task Of Congress now is
to pass legislation which will cncour-
age production. If the industries
mines, mills and farms of the country
are busy making and raising produce
the consumer will be taken care of by
nation wide prosperity

COttOns

The primary cotton goods market
continued strong in price last week
although trading, on the whole, was
not in so large volume as in the
previous week. Finished goods, except
in a few directions, continued only
fair. Percale business. following the
naming of new prices for delivery for
the next two or three months, at about
the old price level, took on renewed
activity. A better buying of mapped
goods for fall was reported in some
quarters Jobbers and retailers com
plain that there is still consid cradle
resistance among their customers to
current price levels and that still
higher prices will curtail the volume

New-York tribune., 1922-05-22

Explanation Of the prise rises lies in
the fact that for some months past the
price levels of many of the commodities
now advancing have been selling below
the cost OF production. Curtailmcnt OF
production, which resulted when prices
reached a point so low that losses were
less heavy by shutting down the mills
than by continuing to run and losing
money on the product, evidently has
begun to make itself felt in many di-
rections. Although with the exception

Silks
The great curtailment in silks. which
has been in force for the last two
months is making itself felt in the
market. Buyers no longer are able to
pick up large lots at bargain prices
it is asserted, with the result that
many Of them are returning to their
old sources of merchandise and are
now paying what the manufacturers
choose to call "legitimate" prices for
goods. Fall business as yet is small
and spotty, confined mainly to the
staples, but even in that direction some
improvement is noticed Raw silk
continued firm throughout the week
and manufacturers are becoming more
reconciled to the higher price levels.

AGRICULTURAL CLUBS At
SKOWHEGAN FAIR
Parents and Citizens Should Attend
She County contest in COnnec-
lion With the Fair

Again this year the county contest
Of the BOYS and Girls Agricultural
Clubs will be held in connection with
the fair of fho Somerset Central Agri-
cultural Society which occurs at Show
hogan on September &c. q, 28 and %.
This is one OF the big drawing cards
of the annual fair and citizens as
we'll as parents Of the club members
should attend this contest and learn
what the boys and girls are doing for
the development OF agricultural work
in Somerset County.
Parents can assist their sons and
daughters greatly, previous TO the
county contest by encouraging them
in the selection OF exhibits of merit,
and by assisting them with their stor-
les and records These young agri-
culturists have done a fine work, a
work of which every parent should be
proud, and for this reason they de
serve encouragement and help il ne
cessary.
Local leaders throughout the coun-
ty are working hard and faithfully
for the good of the work the boys ,Apd
girls are doingt and deserve all the
assistance parents can offer by way
of suggestions and help 10 the young
sters.
Club members should commence
soon to plan for the county contest.
Write yonr stories carefully and neat
ly, for the prize you win at the coun-
~ contest depends in part on the
story you write. A carefully kept
account is more important than the
story. The account should be neat
accurate and complete, In figuring
your production or yield be careful
that 1t is accurate. III il becomes
necessary to estimate the production
in the potato or corn projects, at least
weigh fractional part OF your field
so that careful estimate can be made
NAL If possible.
When 1t comes time to select the
exhibit, each member who has to
make an exhibit should be very care
full in his selection. Exhibits should
be uniform and carefully selected In
selecting potatoes or corn, select as
near an ideal type az possible. Use
this as a pattern and pick out nine
other specimens as near duplicates of
the pattern az possible
In selecting your canning exhibit
select uniform pint jars; that Is, dc
not select an Economy jar and then
a Mason. Your exhibit will look
much better Also be sure that jars
are wiped so that the outside is clean
and put the All label on the side OPP
posite the trademark, the same dis
lance from the bottom Of each jar.
In preparing your sewing for the
exhibit see that all haste threads are
pulled, all thread ends tied and clip
ped off. and last press the article
with a damp cloth oyer it and fold
very hcntly.
The bread should be a golden brown
all over, should not be wrapped in
wax paper when hot, do not pack II
until cold.

Field Da, oi Creamery Company

East New Portland, Sept. 4'-The
field day of Carrabassett Creamery Co.
given last Saturday was success in
every way At noon table large
enough to seat fifty people was set
under the trees in front of Mrs. Lue-
LA Jones house The dinner con-
sisted of beans baked in the ground,
brown bread, white bread salads, cof-
fee, doughnuts, cake, etc. On hun
dred and fifty ate dinner. During
the forenoon and early part of the
afternoon the guests devoted their
time in going thru the creamery. This
institution has been much improved
within the last few months under
Laurister Brown the efficient butter
maker and assistant manager. This
energetic young man took course at
South Waterford last winter to fit him
self for this work. Among the i'm
proponents ! will mention that the
creamery has been cleaned and paint
ed thru out on the inside two cement
floors put in; cooling tank II.
by 4 II. by. 3 TT. This tank holds
36. 10 gallon cans beside the ice; new
piping; a new sink and at the rear
of the building piazza has been
built from which the cream Is loaded
onto the truck. Since last March
from 80 to 35 new patrons have been
added to the list. A new cream route
has been established from kingiield
with the promise OF 40 cans. No
doubt others will be added later. With
all these improvements in view 1t
seems evident that Mr.. Brown is the
man Tor the position that he now mis-.
o. w. Chase the manager was IN
able TO be present owing to business
which called him TO Boston.
DurinK the afternoon everyone had
the pleasure of listening to speeches
by NJ. d. Jones, Farm Management
Demonstration of Orono and II. NJ s.
Tucker, head of the animal industry
also of Orono. Mr.. Jones congratul-
ated the Creamery company on the
day that they chose for their field
day He then compared the present
time with the. period following the
Civil War. saying that since that time
farming had changed from self sup
porting proposition to a business pro
position He said that one of the
fundamental factors Of successful
farming is dairying, that it is the back
bone of successful agriculture of this
country. Mr.. Tucker who has made
stock breeding a specially then gave
a fine talk, encouraging the farmers
to give more attention to better breed
ing. He also said that to make a
success OF dairying one should keep an
account of what the COWS eat and also
what they produce, that is the only
way to know just what each cow Is
paying Mr.. Thicker then gave de
monstration of Judging cows.
This first field day of Carrabbassett
Cooperative Creamery Co. was a
grand success being both entertain
ing and instructive and it will be look
ed forward to as an annual event.
