Editor of The American
This is Pledge week, during which
thousands of loyal citizens through
out the Pine Tree State will pledge
themselves to special service, includ-
ing, among other things, the beauti-
fication and adornment of the COM
munities and highways of the State
The writer, former resident of
Ellsw orth and an occasional visitor
still, and one who appreciates its
natural scenic setting, wonders why
there are permitted along one of it's
principal streets, traversed during
the summer season by thousands Of
tourists en- route to the coast resorts,
a landing-place, not only for pulp
wood, but dumping-ground for
other articles, and buildings in such
dilapidated condition as to constitute
a nuisance.
No doubt Ellsworth needs a city
dump, but why select a site for such
along the banks of Cards brook, in
plain view from this same roadway?
Not satisfied with these two dump
ing-places on the same thoroughfare,
another evidently has been started
within the past few weeks south Of
Beal's avenue crossing.
The city of Ellsworth has natural
assets not possessed by many cities
of its size, not the least of these be-
ing the approaches to the city, the
attractiveness of which might be en-
HANGED by just a few words from
those in authority.
The city recently appropriated
money to help advertise Maine; it is
assumed that it's citizens are inter-
ested in the Identification of the
community, as suggested by Governor
Brewster, and it is hoped that these
unsightly dumps may be removed in
advance of the arrival of the sum
mer visitors.

but If offer extras in cows and heifers

grades sold firm at last weeks mar
ket with dealers inclined to pay Ac
advance on good lots. Gamers were

Chicago Produce Market
by Beck
Chicago, March &c.


Heavy selling that was associated
with sprinkles Of rain in Kansas and
with apparent absence Of any great
amount Of export business, turned the
market suddenly downward today,
notwithstanding that eralier the
weak at two cents to IA cents net
decline, May 1.64t to 1.64 ga and July
146 IA to 1.46b, with corn b-S to 1c
down, oats is to 3-Sc off and provis-
ions showing losses ranging from &c
to &c.
Most Of the selling Of wheat came
from houses with eastern connections
and had many Of the earmarks of
profit taking on the part of spectators
who had previously been active on the
buying side of the market. Among the
reasons for buying were estimates
abandonment of domestic winter wheat
acreage this season would amount to
IS per cent. the second largest total
on record. There were also estimates
that the condition of the 1925 winter
crop is 10 points below the average
of the last 10 years.
High winds and dust storms over
parts of Kansas and Nebraska con-
tributed to the early strength of prices
in the wheat market. other favorable
reports about conditions southwest
and west were also an incentive to
buyers, but the first suggestions OF re-
lief from dry weather was quickly
followed by such a decided increase of
selling that for at least the time be-
ing the breaks in price went on almost
without check. and the close was at
about the days bottom level.
Need OF rain in the southwest had
a tendency to lift values of both corn
and oats as we'll as wheat, but the
feed grains weakened when the wheat
market declined.
Packers buying helped give
strength to the provision market.
