fed by telegraph that he has been
selected for the Master Rank In the

national organization for boys which
is maintained by The Curtis Publish

United States there are less than 400
bows in the Master" or the highest
rank.
Charles has won this enviable dis
tinction by making an excellent record
as local representative for the Curtis
publications, selling the Saturday
Evening Post. the Country Gentleman
and the Ladies' Home Journal, and by
splendid work in school,
Because of the unusual qualities
which a boy must develop to win pro-
motion to the Master Rank The Cur

tain for each Master desirable po-
sition with a responsible employer
upon request when the boy has hnish-

Certified Seed
Potato Acreage
1901 Of Last Year

Wakefield, Mass, Aug. I.-Re-
ports lately received from the in
spection officials in the states and
provinces shown below indicate that
this Northeastern competitive terri
tory has entered a total certified
seed potato acreage of 81 SOB acres,
compared with 43,444 last year. The
total passed final field inspection IN
1924 was 2S,952 acres compared with
1874 acres similarly passed in 1875.
Large yields and production were
general on the very large acreage
last year and prices ruled low for
most of the crop. Much of it in the
regions of large production had to be
sold as table stock, but even so the
use of so much improved seed has
brought about better methods and
better potatoes in large measure
Again as last year Maine has
more than half the total acreage in
this territory. although her total
compared with 2o,417 last year. New
Hampshire cut more than half and
New Brunswick falls from 6.1S1 last
year to 1906 this year. Vermont and
Nova Scotia show small gains while
New York and Princet Edward Is
land show moderate decreases.
Growth to date and outlook for the
crop have been good but yields seem
likely to be under those of last year.
Present outlook for the United
States potato crop is for about 100
millions less than last year and the
market outlook is very encoura ging.
Further details appear in the table.

at work setting up the concrete
mixer underneath the bridge. An
elevator will run from the mixer to
the sidewalk on the Randolph end
of the bridge, and tracks will be laid
from there to the different piers

part of the bridge will be lowered
something like three feet. This Will

the Hamilton Manufacturing Com

Collegians Trim
Braves in Comedy
Of Errors. Score 1871

battle finally cleared away the score

former college boys contrasted to one
lone tally for. Fred Potter's, Braves.
Fred did the twirling for his team but
was given no support. for hardly a
ball was fielded cleanly, there being
all sorts of errors. both of commission
and omission. Phil Talbot. who is a
converted shortstop is carrying most
of the pitching burden for the Cole
gians and is making an excellent job
of 1t, and at times his support border
ed on the sensational. Both teams
showed several new faces and shifts
in the lineups. The fans were given
good time and at times saw flashes
of real baseball.

Special Officer
Given Release in
Gardiner District

Special Officer Goodwin, who has
waged such campaign against.
speedsters and violators of traffic
laws is through with the Gardiner
district pending the return of Mayor
Donald s. McNaughton, who is away
on business. This order was made
public by Chief of Police X. c. Dunn
yesterday, and is undoubtedly the re-
suit. of criticism made generally by
business men in Gardiner.
However this does not apply to
Farmingdale where practically all of
the arrests have been made. 1t is
evidently great temptation to mo-
florists to speed on the new concrete
State highway, and it is here that
Officer Goodwin has been doing the
most of his work, the cases being
tried in the local court. The local
police department and city officials
have of course no jurisdiction over
that town, SO complaints regarding
the activities of the officer will fall
upon the Farmingdale authorities,
and it is very probable that the
same pressure will be brought to
bear upon them as has upon the
local ones.
Officer Goodwin made but one ar
rest yesterday when he stopped a
car at the top of Brunswick Hill in
front of the Gardiner Shrine Club,
the driver having cut in front of
cars ahead. This driver was fined
and his arrest was justified. Only
three arrests have been made in
Gardiner, the rest being made in
Farmingdale, and all of these three
have been justified.
There has been considerable dis
cussion over this matter, and 1t is
felt that Chief Dunn has made a
wise decision in ordering Officer
Goodwin to cease activities in Gar
diner until the return of the Mayor.
