appreciate this move on the part OF
the association inasmuch as farmers
throughout Maine have felt very
keenly the depressed conditions as
related to the high cost of production
and low priced products.
The association contemplates con-
tinuing the manufacturing as the de-
mand for the goods is ever increasing
and the market rapidly broadening.
Many orders are received from the
central western states and the south
ern states. The quality and general
appearance of the goods are so highly
satisfactory that in nearly all cases
duplicate orders are received.
Membership in the association is
ever on the increase, Mr.. Crawford
reports. Many members have signed
contracts during the winter and
early spring. Many inquiries are
coming in as to what action is neces-
sary to become members.
"Surely the idea Of cooperative
marketing has come to stay and the
farmers realize not only the absolute
necessity Of becoming members and
Of giving their loyal support. but
lave already observed the influence
Of such marketing through increased
prices" said Mr.. Crawford Saturday

Governor Baxter
Unable To Meet And
Address Watervilie Boys

Saturday morning word came to the
state House that a current report in
Watervillc was to the effect that Gov
ernor Baxter had promised to address
he boys of Watcrvillc. Winslow. Fair
field and Benton on Friday. TO this
some were adding that the governor
had promised to banquet the kiddies,
lalso.
The facts of the case are that Gov
crnor Baxter was not Informed of the
intention to bring the North kennebec
boys to Augusta until Wednesday aft
crnoon when Mr.. Jewell called at the
! executive department. No one at the
governors office even had heard of the
proposed visit until that day. Gov
ernor Baxter already had made en-
gagemcnts which at that late hour
could not be changed.
Governor Baxter had not returned
Saturday morning to his office, but his
assistants in the executive department
feel that the neglect of someone in
charge of the pilgrimage should not be
charged to the governor.

"Shuffle Along" is Full Of Pep:
HiuhIy Praised Everywhere


Highly Praised Everywhere
"Shuffle Along" is one of the lat
ter day musical connections in SOL
idity and cherion of it's story. The
book and dialogue is from the proli-
fic and fertile minds Of Miller and
Lyles. Without the musical color
ing it could be one of the funniest
farces ever written. The musical
score of SiSsle and Byake makes it
one of the most charming offerings
seen in many years. 1t is as clean
as Il hounds tooth: a delightful,
wholesome show with the heartiest
kind of laughter in it's lines, racing
along with its fun and lifting and
tingling melodies that give an even
ing of real enjoyment.
Said Allen Dale. the prominent
dramatic critic of the New York Am
erican shuttle Along" is full of pep
and real melody. At times its seemed
as nothing could stop the chorus
from singing and dancing except
ringing down the curtain and YOU
did not mind how long they shuffled
along: you even felt shuffling bit
with them, all of which I admit is
not unusual for dear old 42nd Street.
AS a mattG of fact there is enough
pep for two average musical shows.

ton Of the Augusta Opera House on
