These records OF advance or de-

esting in the opportunity which they
offer to study world conditions in
prices of the leading articles Of

groups of articles forming the i'm

of the United States require /the
statement of the value of imported
articles to show their actual

and our export prices represent the
value of the respective articles "in
the ports OF the United States
whence they are exported" at the
date of their expectation. The adj

therefore, represent price conditions
abroad and those on the export side
the advance or decline represents
price conditions in the United

This comparison of the December

indicates that the chief advances
in prices of the articles which we

in manufacturing materials. while
in foodstuffs the number OF enumer-

no greater than the number show

BASEBALL ASSURED COMING
SEASON IN AUGUSTA WITH BRIGHT
PROSPECTS FOR 4-TEAM LEAGUE

Organization and plans for incorpor-
alton were completed. prospects for a
four-team western Maine baseball
league discussed, and preliminary ar
rangements for the final campaign be-
fore the spring opening of the season.
occupied the enthusiastic group of Cit
liens active i'll the interests of the
Augusta Baseball Association at the
meeting held Tuesday evening at the
Chamber of Commerce rooms.
There is every prospect from the
splendid reports presented at the meet
ing last night that the Capital City
will have another fine aggregation of
diamond athletes wearing the Million
aire uniform the coming season, and
though definite details were lacking.
the indications are now that a western
Maine league, composed of Augusta.
Gardiner. Pennington and Lisbon Falls.
will play through a regular schedule
OF games for the western champion
ship pennant. The winner in this di-
vision Will play post-season State
series with the flag winner of the east
Nrn Maine circuit. which is composed of
the we'll known teams which represent
cd on the diamond last summer by in
dependent clubs.
Much work has been done by the
local boosters of the sport looking to-
ward the formation Of league, and
word comes from Gardiner that the
downrived city is going to have a team
on the field this year if only for the
purpose of contesting the supremacy
of the boys who will cavort on the
baselines and outer gardens in the Mil
lionairc uniform. So the fans are al
ready warming up to the prospect of
some sweet clashes in the nine-stanza
sport, with all the old-time rivalry and
loyal roofing of trolley league days.
The Worumbos of Lisbon can be
counted on TO send a fast outfit onto
the greensward. and though they
have not as yet definitely tied up
with the Western Maine League, it
is believed that they will enthusiasts
tically accept the proposition when
approached. Pennington, the met
ropolis of Franklin county. which
went through successful season
last year with speedy Independent
club. is considered for the fourth
corner of the circuit, and with the
wonderful automobile highway
from the State Capital through to
the Hill Town, there will undoubted-
ly be a long convoy of automobiles
loaded with Augusta fans, which will
accompany their boys on every en-
petition to Pennington for a game.
The league will function under
reasonable rules and regulations.
and a fixed salary limit for players
to which all can subscribe. Ben
Houser of Bowdoin College, Itch
field, and Augusta. who has piloted
the Augusta Millionaires through
three seasons of big time baseball,
has worked tirelessly since last
summer to organize the league.
1t is the expectation of the Au-
gusta Baseball Association to bring
Houser, to this city again this sum-
mer, and a delegation from the local
organization will hold a conference
with him at Brunswick this week,
