A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home,
That never can be filled.
Sleep on, dear father, and take thy

Graded on thy Saviour'S breast,
Sin and sorrow, pain and woe,
Thy soul never more shall know;
Joy and peace. forever more,
Wait thee on the other shore.
In a brighter, better land,
Welcomed by the angel band,
Greeted by the Heavenly King,
Safe at last from suffering;
Graded on thy Savioar's breast
Sweetly sleep, and take thy rest.

ONIONS AND APPLES
ARE SCARCE AND HIGH

The best yellow onions sold on Fri
day at wholesale at $S.25 a l00-pound
bag. On Feb. 10. 1917, the same
grade of onions sold at SIS to 50
bag. a year ago the price was Si.50
per 10 pounds The price this year
is Just five and one-half times what
it was a year ago.
EARLY last Fall" said Mr.. Jones
yesterday, "it was reported that a
large part Of the best onion crop had
been bought up on contracts by
speculative dealers The Government
crop estimates showed prospect of
light total crop Now there seems
to be very small quantity of good
onions left in the hands Of growers
in this part Of the country and prices
have steadily advanced from $3.25
per 100 pounds last September to
SS.25 last week. This in spite of the
fact that receipts here in the last
weel were seventy-SiX carloads, COM
pared with sixty-three carloads on
the corresponding week year ago.
The onion crop storage, accord
ing to the latest report of the United
States Bureau of Markets and Crop
Estimates, was about the same this
last season as in 1919. In the cor
responding week in February, 1920,
however, the top price for yellow was
only 1918 per 100 pounds, or q cents
pound lower.
Boxed apples continue in plenti-
full supply, although barreled are
scarce and high in price. Out of
total of 300 cars of apples received
here last week only 81 cars came
from New York State. On one day
alone this week about 10000 boxes
of apples were sold in New York at
auction.
"The seasons shipment of barreled
apples have been about 30 per cent.
of the amount shipped last season.
The shipment OF Western boxed APP
pies is. on the other hand. about so
per cent. heavier than last season.
The largest apple-shipping States
this year are Washington, Oregon,
Idaho, California and Colorado.
This years smaller apple crop in
the Eastern or barreled apple States
has been reflected in higher prices.
Thus the best A grade, 2h-inch Bald
wins which sold on Friday at S7.25
to $3.50 per barrel brought $3.50 to
$500 per barrel a year ago. The best
Greetings. which brought $3.50 to
$500 per barrel. sold for about twice
that amount or st from $1,000 to
Sl0.50 per barrel wholesale on FRI
day"

PEACH SHIPPERS WANT
LOWER FREIGHT RATES

A case of great interest TO ship
perS of fruit, vegetables. and other
commodities came up for hearing
Thursday before the Interstate Com
mcrce Commission in Washington.
The case was that of the peach
shippers of the Official Classification
Territory. which embraces all sections
north Of the Potomac and Ohio
Rivers, and all territory east Of the
Mississippi River, against the rail-
road, :; being charged .h:; @nsa!"
discrimination is shown by the rail
roads against the shippers under the
existing freight rates.
Peach shippers are asking for the
rate on fresh peaches to be reduced
30 per cent, that is, restored to the
same basis of freight charges as ex-
listed August 25th. 1920.
The railroads have made a counter
proposal to reduce the freight rates
20 per cent, provided the case be
withdrawn. but this the shippers have
refused to do.
One of the chief points of conten-
ton is that in the Official Classified
tion Territory. the railroads charge
first class rates on peaches, while in
the southern classification territory
the third class charge is operative
The shippers are opposed to this dis
elimination. and are simply asking
to he placed on the same class basis
as the southern shippers.
If the peach shippers are success
ful in obtaining reduction Of freight
rates on their commodities, other
cases will be brought before the In
terstate Commerce Commission. and
the fight for lower freight rates will
be continued until there is a reduction
in the rates on all commodities. The
result of the hearing will be awaited
with interest. as the decision of the
Interstate Commerce Commission
will establish a precedent. by which
other affiliated bodies of shippers.
seeking relief from burdensome
freight charges will be guided.
The case is being handled for the
peach shippers by the attorney of the
Interstate Apple shippers Assn.

A WORTHY PROPHET
FOR WOODROW WILSON
BelIin. Nh. Feb. ll, l922

Berlin, Md, FEB. il, w..
TO the Editors of The Messenger:
Woodrow Wilson has wor-
thy prophet in James VI. Cox, the last
Democratic candidate for president
Mr.. Cox in his recent speech at the
Jackson Day dinner uttered SEN
tencc. which ! quote at the end of
this letter, worthy to be craven on
the memory of every citizen Of the
United States, and think it appro-
pirate to call attention to it at this
time when an effort is on foot TO
raise funds for the memorial TO be
known as the Wilson Foundation,
which is not intended to perpetuate
Wilson's fame-hiS fame needs no
assistance from anyone-but to help
perpetuatc in the minds of this and
coming generations the immortal
principles and ideals of justice and
the matchleSs policies toward peace
among nations for which he so ncom-
parably stood.
II was in that part of Governor
CoX'S address. in which. in burning
words. he was calling the Republican
leaders to account for their treachery
to their country and 10 the world in
the attitude they assumed towards
the Peace Treaty and the League of
Nations, and charging the present
financial depression TO what he called
the "treachery Of Lodgeism," he gave
utterance to this gem:
Thousands Of Republicans now
realize" he said, that the present
leaders Of their party have profaned
Republican history by forsaking
the soul of Abraham Lincoln for the
spleen of Henry Cabot Lodge"

A SPLENDID WORK

The Worcester County Chapter,
American Red Cross, has shipped to
the Atlantic Division to be sent
abroad in the period from Aphil q,
1921, to December 18th, 1921, 1877
garments in three boxes. The ship
ments included s layettes, the gar
meptS being made and contributed by
the generous people of the county.
In September 1921, nourishing food
for ten days was sent to two CON
valescing typhoid patients, and $500
to be paid TO nurse, who voluntar-
lily visited and looked after these
motherless children for two or three
weeks. The school children respond
ed generously to the appeal for used
clothing to be given children. who
needed it, so they could attend school.
Wood and groceries have been sent
to needy families.
Assistance was given the Clean Up
Squad when here in October. Money
has been loaned to keep up insurance
policies, where compensation was
withheld for awhile from an ex-sol-
dier, but it has now been repaid in
full.
Thus. the peace time work of the
Red Cross goes quietly on, and the
help given here and there, during
times Of dire distress in families, is
much appreciated, for no worthy
causes are ever refused help by the
Red Cross.
