good work during 1922 Augustus busi-

thlnklng or the great amount of good
work that is being accomplished with
in the city's borders. The steady
progress that is being made in all Of
the city's industries. the general
health. educational and social advan-
,ages which the city offers; also the
ceptionally high type of workers and
producers which is found within Its
confines should he the theme of their
daily conversation.
There is no reason for any of Au-
gustas men and women becoming dis
couraSed or assuming pessimistic at :
titude because of reports of unsettled
conditions in isolated spots. These
are foreign to Augustus life and sucl,
reports are becoming fewer and fewer
from day to day.
Augusta is blessed with many nat
ural advantages, all of which are add
cd to by the fact of it being the Caui-
tai Of this great and grand Common
wealth. 1t is. as a city, made uD of
thousands of Substantial, leve.-headed
men and women. 1t has thoroughly Y
modern public school system and ma
merous social, religious and busine ess
organizations all inspired by. and
working for, the citys growth and ele-

trial plants all of which are contribut-

OF the people. the State and the nation.
Augusta proudly claims one of tile
most reliable, progressive and best ed

In the kennebec journal, as a news
paper, and the kindred activities of The
company which publishes it, August,
has an industrial organization Of great
magnitude of which the city, and in
fact the whole State of Maine can well
be proud.
Augusta should have a business or
Industrial slogan. An effective and IT.

on the stationery of every business

Great and small fortunes will be
made in 1922 in countless numbers,

The announcement that congress Is

Washington theatre would have a
quality OF grim humor were the sub
1ect not so hideous. AS it is, the de-
termination TO make an investiga-

Although the snow fall in Wash
ington was unprecedented in some
respects. the only roof to collapse was
that OF this building constructed for
the purpose Of being used by crowds
OF people. This fact alone shows
that proper consideration for the
safety Of those crowds was not given
by those responsible for the kind Of
construction employed. A grave re-
sponsibility rests on all who build to
house crowds OF human beings. They
should be held to 1t strictly.

Would Be a Crime
(ROSton POSt)

News from Aroostook County,
seemingly we'll authenticated, tells
peculiarly interested world-any food
topic interests it-that 5000 carloads
of the 1921 potato crop may have to
be dumped" that is either thrown
away or sold for starch. The reason
given is that the crop in storage is
larger than can be moved away.
This would be an economic crime.
With foodstuffs still high and greatly
needed the country over, to destroy a
huge amount of potatoes should be
thing made impossible in these Unit
cd States. The owners say that If
shipments at the rate of $50 carloads
a day can be kept UP until mid-June,
they can get rid of their surplus
stock. And why cannot they be so
kept up?
If no other remedy appears. the
United States government would do
fine thing by buying the ''spuds"
and making them a part Of the Rus
sian relief commodities. That would
solve the problem at once and in i'm
measurably finer fashion than by
permitting the destruction of so
much food. @

DON'T OVERLOOK THE SMALL
PRODUCER

We hope the journal readers will
not overlook the letter of Mr.. S. c.
Manley, published in another column.
as the suggestions he makes are
worth careful consideration. A live
Her community interest and greater
efforts on the part Of the State are
needed to encourage and support
those who are producing on a small
scale. The farm bloc in congress is
not likely to aid the farmers of New
Englan nd, or the small producers any,
where. certainly not directly or in
more than a slight degree. 1t will
strengthen, for a time. the powerful
farming and distributing interests.
II IL succeeds by way of the st. Law
renee project in bringing the foreign
ships nearer the great grain fields the
small fruits farmer in the East will
pay his share of the ta:i and if he de-
rives any benefit from it that will be
inconsiderable.
These who produce on a small scale
are essential to our we'll being as a
country. II they may be brought into
close relationship with the small con-
sumner both may easily profit. And
this may not be done without assist
ance. The big producers are capable
OF organizing and insisting; the small
producers are not equal to this con-
certed effort under present condi-
sions. Just how they may be aided is
quite a problem. Our state Depart
ments are rendering more assistance
than is generally supposed. The ag-
ricultural department invariably has
q prompt and informing answer to
the many inquiries received by it.
Buyers and sellers. consumers and
producers are materially helped in
this way. Inquiries at the fish and
game departments are promptly an
swered. Information respecting all

mer boarders may be accommodated.
may be obtained of this department.
Other departments are equally
obliging. indeed 1t is said the cour-
tesy of Names officials in this re-
spect Is appreciated throughout the
country.
So far so good. but what may be
done in securing information for our
small producers. showing them where

A Practical Suggestion
Helps Small Producers

Augusta, Me-, Jan. 2S, 1922.
Editor Kennebec Journal:
In connection with the present agi-
tation for State . Advertising OF
Maine. the following may be of in
terest:
In 1918, during the sugar famine.
was advised to get some Georgia
Pure Cane Syrup, and did so. AS /
understand it, this is made on small
scale by individual farmers in
Georgia, much as maple syrup is
made here and in Vermont from
sugar cane and the syrup is much
like molasses though not as highly
colored or favored. My household
like it very much better than any
molasses that can now be bought.
Recently, we needed some, and as /
had forgotten from whom l bought
it before, wrote the State Bureau of
Markets of Georgia for information.
Here is where the point comes in, not
that Georgia Cane Syrup is better
and cheaper than molasses, which it
is, but the State Bureau of. Markets
OF Georgia which publishes a little
weekly newspaper giving the names
and addresses of people who have
things to sell and of people who want
to buy something. stating in each
case what there is for sale and the
price and what the prospective pur-
chaser wants to buy.
Inside of two weeks after asking
for information, I received letters
from /. ]. Cason, Blackshear; G. c.

If the State of Maine is to spend
money for advertising its countless
attractions, would It not be well to
pay some attention to those of it's
citizens who are doing business on a
small scale? The big ones will and
do take care of themselves. 1t is the
little fellow who needs help and there
are any quantity of people in Maine
who have small amounts of some
thing to sell or who want to take one
or two summer boarders. There are
just as many buyers here and else
where and state advertising should
provide medium whereby these can
get together.

A WORD ABOUT WAGES

Comprehensive investigation COW
ering a million and a quarter wage
earners, as reported by the National
Industrial Conference Board. shows
that last June the average hourly
earnings were 114eo and the av-
erage weekly earnings $500 above
those in July, 1914. Hourly earnings
fell 16.59s and weekly earnings 1920
from the peak in 1920 to the middle
of 1921. Total employment for that
same period fell 37eS.
With regard to real wages" in
other words their purchasing power,
at the end of June, 1921, they were
1890 higher than in July, 1914. For
that same period the real hourly
earnings were 32.2eo higher. The de-
cline in weekly earnings has been
greater than in the hourly earnings
because of the part-time operation of
many of the plants. Male labor suf-
fered far more severe reductions than
female labor, and the wage decreases
were not confined to any particular
industry.
The investigation which covered
26 major industries and 4400 indus
trial establishments. showed that the
greater net increases in weekly earn
ings occurred in the textile group; in
the wool industry from July 1914 to
June 1921 there was a net increase
of 12sGS, the largest, whereas in meat
packing it was but 97GS. During the
six year period, July 1914 to July 1920,
total employment increased 1850
but the industrial depression between
June 1920 and June 1921 forced un-
employment $500 below the level of
July 1914. During that period the
unemployment was greatest in the
metal trades groups. The textile
group was less affected by this than
any other group. The composite de-
cline in the entire metal group
amounted to 46co while that of the
textile group was but $3.50.
