One of the farmers who signed to
plant tomatoes for the canncry came
to us 4 day or two ago and said that
he had set out his acre, and still had
enough plants to set out another acre.
We told him to go ahead and put out
the additional acre. This he agreed to
do. Our fear is that we will not have
enough. not that we will have too
many. We can can all we can get and
more. We say to all: increase your
acre to two acres, wherever you can.
We will take them all. Many have al
ready SGT out their plants; others are
now ready to set out plants. 1t is
Just now the right time, not a bit too
late. Do not let anybody talk you
into not planting your acre. Stick to
your signed contract, and we will win
a great victory. We are preparing to
be able to can ten tons day. That
is very good capacity for begin
ming. Next year we will have very
little trouble getting two hundred and
fifty acres planted. And we will be
able to take care Of that output.
One man who signed to plant tOma-
toes was approached by a neighbor
and told that now since cotton was
going up he had better plow up his
acre of tomatoes and plant cotton.
That was foolish advice. Nobody
knows that cotton will bring 20 cents
next fall. The probability is that it
will be nearer Is cents than 20 cents
Moreover the world is being planted
in cotton, that is, all of it save the
Mississippi Valley, where the floods
are raging. Everybody has gotten the
idea that cotton is going to be high
The idea is just floating around. l.
is well to remember that many are
increasing acreage. 1t is well to re-
member that dur;rr tho month Of
April both our exports and imports to
foreign countries fell off MANI. mil.

it does not look like very hipb nricos
for cotton. OF course we know that if
is the farmers business whether he
sells at 20 cents or holds an for biph-
cr prices. But today. if we had y
thousand bales of cotton we would sell
it before NIGHT at 20 cents We do
not believe any great high level is

A Southern Tribute 10 a Maine Man

The Palm Beach, Fla, Posi- of Nov. 9th
pays tribute to a former Waldo County
boy and summer resident of Searsport:
Friends, young and old, thronged the
Congregational church yesterday after
noon to pay a last tribute to the memory
of John Clifford Showers, pioneer and pro-
mnent church and business man, who
died Thursday morning Laden with
flowers, the coffin was brought into the
church, accompanied by the active and
honorary palI-bearers, all personal friends
of long standing of the family, while Miss
Anita Canova played the Chopin march.
The altar was banked with the many
floral offerings and ferns, with tall palm
branches at the side. The Rev. c. II.
Pettibone, pastor and close friend of Mr..
Showers took as the text of his short SER
mon, 'Know ye not that there is prince
and a great man fallen this day in Israeli"
In few simple words he emphasized the
ways in which Mr.. Showers had aided in
the upbuilding of the religious institutions
of the city, which have helped to make
West Palm Beach safer place for the
home. "He was a MAJ who did things"
he said, "bdt who did not care for them
to be known, and out of Difference to his
memoryI shall say little" In closing, he
summarized the characteristics which en-
deared Mr.. Showers to all who knew him !:
his rugged courage, his sympathy COM
bined with kind understanding, his clear
vision and his child like faith. During
the service, Mrs Frank Pettibone sang
zone Sweetly Solemn Thought" and
Mrs. X. E. Dougherty. 81 Will Serve
Thee to the End" The large congrega-
tion gathered at the church bore evidence
to the large number and variety of the
friends of Mr.. Showers. Scattered among
the older persons were many girls and
young men, the majority of swhom are
members of the Christian Endeavor So
ciety, which Mr.. Showers founded here
and to which he devoted much of his
time, often spending all .of Saturday in
preparation of program for the next
evening. A section of the family pew,
reserved for old family servants, was
filled Many of those present went to
Woodlawn cemetery for the short service
there. The pallbearers were: j. b. Nc
Ginley, Orrin Randolph, Sewell Semple,
B. j. Carlberg. d. L. Williams and F. A.
Pettibone; and the honorary pallbearers:
H. G. Geer, M. E. Gruber, C. c. Chilling
worth, w. A. Smith, w. j. Won Behren
L. E. Heisler, H. B. Corwin. E. F. Bowers.
