We have heretofore spoken of the danger that turks in wait for Ameri- can organizations and institutions known as the boring-in process Es- pecially does it threaten organized political parties. and most of all does if threaten the dominant political party in any particular section. Ele- ments not in any ways related to the party principle slip into that party and in a close three cornored race will sometimes slip in it candidate, forcing the rest of the party into an attitude of supporting him in it's gen eral election. IL is a delicate situa- ton and an embarrassing one. We are watching situation in another state just like that today. We will watch the result with interest and with fear and trembling, at the same time thanking our good fortune that We are not called upon to face that kind of music in our own state Real ly it would be more consistent if ele- meats with radically different aims and principles would form a party of their own. but they are not doing pol itics that way since the missionaries from Russia have taught them more effective way. We should watch our primaries closer in the future, for who knows when we might have to combat the same thing within our own ranks? We want to be sure that we stick closely to the old and imperish- able principles that have served our country so we'll in all periods of it's history.

The biggest thing that the cotton farmers have ever done for them selves or for the South is to this year mar ket through their own cooperative associations about three million bales Of cotton It is the first time i'll the history of organized efforts that it seems a real marketing solution has been found The amount marketed this year totals almost one-third the crop No doubt this alone has been a big factor in holding .he price on the level that it has, acting as balance wheel between the cotton that was dumped On the market as gathered and i'll a systematic way. Just nov d campaign is under way to add new members to the association. The sue cess that has been made this year will be the most powerful argumen; in enlisting new members. Had the association gone in for speculation and held all it's cotton off the market the indicated continued upward moyo ment in prices would no doubt have netted q huge sum over the average prices but they have taken the stand that q holding movement would be nothing more nor less than spacula- ton, and speculation is a rock which they will stear clear of

Maine Camping Sites

The State of Maine Publicity Bu-
reau is daily receiving inquiries in re-
gard to motor camping sites. The de-
mand exceeds the supply. The Blu
reau would like to have a complete
list of places where tourists can camp
over night.
Owners willing to offer camping sites
should communicate with John c.
Stone, executive secretary of State of
Maine Publicity Bureau, Portland,
giving particulars as to accommodate
tons, charges etc. In a number of
instances owners have offered land for
camping purposes, because of the in
fux of business created for nearby
stores. Many motorists bring a trail
er or other camping outfit with them.
Residents of the rural sections of
the State and of suburban towns
should make tourists from out of the
state realize that their hospitality
surpasses even Uncle Terry's and that
Up In Maine" is the right place to
come to in summer.
