Disquieting reports of new crisis
at the Dardanelles led to a material
advance today in the value of wheat.
The market closed unsettled. &c to II

the outcome varied from &c decline to
a rise Of sc.
Although the wheat market here
opened on the down grade in sympathy
with lower quotations at Liverpool
news of aggressive actions by the
Turks brought about quickly sharp
upturn and throughout the remainder
of the day the bear side was at disad-
vantage. The weakness at Liverpool
was explained as due to large North
American exports and increased Ar
gentine offerings.
Enlarged buying power which devel-
oped in the wheat market here came
to a considerable degree from houses
with eastern connections.
The May delivery assembled to a new
high price record for the season. Talk.
however. about chances of post cleo

setback at the last.

were out of the market for corn and

Washington. Nov. 6,-Railroads now
are being swamped with offerings of
freight. the volume of which within
the next two weeks, may grow to pro-
portions larger than at any time in
history.
Loadings of all kinds of freight
jumped to 1.003.759 cars in the week
ended Oct. 81. according to official re-
ports just reaching Washington. This
is close to the record loadings Of the
week ended Oct. Is. 1920 when LOIS, 900
cars were freighted. That week was
the highest in the history of American
railroading.
The record Of freight car loadings is
closely watched by business observers
as we'll as by rail officials because it is
regarded as a barometer of the condi-
tions of manufacturing and general
commerce. Loadings increase when
business Improvement occurs and de-
cline in periods Of depression.

community investment A man has
q responsibility to himself, to his
family and to his community, in
matters of this kind and should be
willing to devote time ard money to
improving health conditions about
him. While not ready to present a
written report on the question OF q
program of work, he did outline a
few essential steps as follows:
/. Secure permanent quarters.
,. Affiliate with the Maine Pub
lie Health Association.
3. Become a center for dissem-
ination of information on health
matters.
4. Work to secure public health
nurse for Augusta.
5. Work fer the employment OF
public health officer in Augusta
and Hallowell Jointly.
He spoke also OF i.s work as part
time health officer and told of the
great need that exists in Augusta for
such work far beyond the powers o.
any part tine official. There is moth
ing to be ashan-' Of in the record
of this department in the past. Of
IFS work in epidemics sucE as The
flu epidemic the small pox epidemic
and others. but the work should be
expanded which could be done only
through the services of a man who
can give full time to the work.
DIR. G. t. Kendall explained the
work of full time officer quite in
detail and showed how the work had
started in the town of York when
an epidemic Of typhoid threatened
the town with loss of its lucrative
summer business and as an offse;
they put trained man on the jou
since. Nine other towns and cities
had since taken up the work as fol-
lows: Portland. Bath. Lewiston, Au-
burn. Bangor, Waterville, combined
with Winslow and Vassalboro, Orono
combined with Oldtown md Milford
Rumford and Sanford, all If which,
puts its squarely up to Augusta to
step in line also.
Questions were raised as to wheth-
er or not the Red Cross might not
be able to conduct this work, thus
saving a duplication of effort. 1t
was pointed out that the Red Cross
is primarily an emergency organiza-
ton and that ii had been requested
by national organization Of physi-
clans to give up its local health

From Compliment to Insult

If you had called even the fiercest
of our Saxon forefathers a silly idiot,
he would not have been displeased.
for in those days silly meant blessed
or happy, and idiot meant nothing
more than private person.
Nor would he have taken offense
had you referred to him rs crafty
swindlcr for these are both words
that have changed their meaning in
the course of centuries. Crafty once
implied not stiffness but skill.
whilst swindler was a man who
was good at driving a bargain.
Other words which. though now
uncomplimen.ary, were once quite
the reverse are officious. which
formerly meant kind. and conceited.
which meant full of ideas or origin
atty
But the Saxon warrior would have
devised a horrible death for you had
you ventured to call his wife lady!
this word has gone up in the scale,
whilst the others have gone down.
II really means a kneader CT dough,
OF bahehouse maid.

LOCAL public HEALTH ASSN

Unanimous approval of a gather
ing Of some thirty or more Of Au,
sustas leading men and women was
given to the new Augusta Public
Health Association, at lest evenings
meeting at the Chamber of Com
merce. 1t was voted to apply for
afliliation with the Maine Public
Health Association, also to make a
contract with this association for a
sale of Christmas seals and bonds,
&C per cent of the proceeds of which
will go into the treasury of the local
association. A nominating commit
tee, composed of Mrs. E. P. Noyes,
chairman, Mrs. Don G. Stevens, and
Or. W. II. Harris, was appointed with
instructions to report at next Mon
days meeting, when the twelve dir
eotors, and three of the officers VIII
be elected. The club also approved
the bylaws submitted by Mrs. Ell

President George A. Coombs called
the meeting to order and introduced
Mr.. Henry Richards of Gardiner
who outlined the work as it is being
conducted by the Gardiner Public
Health Association, which is the pio-
ncer organization of the country. He
told how, in Gardiner, they began
as purely nti-tuberculosis society.

ed in health work, banded together
for the good of the community. This
plan worked well and the organiza.
ton put its force back of the two
nurses employed, the one a district
nurse and the other the school nurse.
The speaker also told of coopera-
ton given to the Red Cross. and re-
ceiving from them in return. of
branching out into nearby towns, and
OF starting and maintaing a dental

N
N products and cotton during
October strengthened the
relatively low price of most agri-
cultural products, which was the
weak spot in the September trade
situation, and railroad traffic closely
approached that of October 1920
For the week ended October IA,
the number of freight cars loaded
was o83, 407, against 9l0,529 in the
corresponding week of 1921 and
1,0l8,s39 in the corresponding
week of 1920. Grain shipments
have been seriously hampered BY
the lack of cars, and undoubtedly
car loadings would be running
above the 1920 figures if the rail-
roads were able to handle the bust
ness offered. Coal production has
been below the mine capacity, due
partly to the lack of cars and
partly because Of an indisposition
of purchasers to accumulate stock
on falling market.
Industry and Trade
The industries are generally ac-
tive, with employment practically
full and wages continuing to come
into line on the higher level estab-
1ished in September. In all lines
of manufacturing raw materials
have been advancing, and efforts
are being made to secure CORE
spending advances in finished pro-
ducts, but they meet with no little
opposition. Advances in wool, cot
ton and silk have forced manufac-
turers to mark up cloths, but al
though the dealers yield a grudg-
ing consent, goods lag behind the
materials. Consumption of cotton
by the mills in September was 495,-
344 running bales against 527,404
in August and 4S4,718 in Scptem-
Der, 1921.
Cotton Market Outlook
The weather has been favorable
to making the most of the posi-
bilities for the cotton crop, but the
yield cannot be expected to be
much above the governments last
estimate of 10,315,000 bales. The
carry-over stock in this country
was. 2,S2S,000 bales, which would
make the available supply little
over 100000 bales. Consumption
and exports in the last crop year
were about 12.200,000 bales. Do
nestle consumption is running
ahead Of last year, but exports are
falling behind. Foreign stocks,
however, are light, and world con
sumption in 1922 has been well
above that of 1921. Evidently
everything depends upon the Euro
pean political and industrial situa-
ton. If the consumption of cot
ton goods is anything like normal,
there will be shortage of raw cot
ton. In view of these conditions
the market has been strong, rising
above "a cents per pound.
At this price the crop will bring
more than the average return to
the South and affords the basis for
good business in that territory for
the ensuing year.
Hogs are down a little from last
months prices. but all live stock
is on much more satisfactory
basis than year ago. John Clay
