Going or Coming
Test Farm Profits

Orono, April 24-"Farm profits are
determined by the spread between
tile cost of production and the price
received, explained NJ. D. Jones,
farm management specialist, in dis
GUESSING the necessity of keeping
potato cost account.
"One farmer will receive more
than another by either selling for a
better price or by producing at a
lower cost" said Mr.. Jones. "A
record Of all costs is an aid in keep
ing down these costs because it
shows where total costs are higher
than the average, it shows what
specific costs are too high and it
shows the costs year by year for
comparison.
The Extension Service will fur
Iish free to any potato grower the
blanks, will tabulate the weekly
labor reports and summarize costs
for each farm. 1t also will furnish
to each man a summary showing
what the average costs have been
under similar conditions SO that he
may compare his own costs with
the average, item by item.

are preparing now the lists of CO.

Bradstreet'S Report

New York. April 24.-Bradstreet's
tomorrow will say:
Trade is spotty, advices of slight i'm
provement alternating with others
showing further quieting. and, taken
as a whole, is still only fair. Retail
buying in some sections shows the
continuance of the after-Easter lull,
while in others, notably Texas and ad-
joining areas in the southwest, it
shares with jobbing trade in the de-
preston caused by one of the worst
droughts in history. Scarcity of drink
ing water and of water for cattle is
noted there. with reports tina. cattle
from dry areas have been shipped to
large markets in an emaciated condi-
tion. Late reports that the droughts
in northwest Texas has been relieved
On the other hand, retail buying in
parts Of the southeast is better than
for some time, rejecting an early
start for crops and good prospects for
this early stage of the season. Indus
try tends to quiet somewhat. with
small but often buying still noted at
the leading feature.

Automobiles Much
Like Ball PLAYERS

Motor cars are like the big league
stars of baseball. SO fierce is the
competition-so severe the tests of
daily excellence-that it is seldom
indeed that we see a player who has
stood the gait for ten years in the
major leagues.
The Ty Cobbs, the Walter john
sons, the Grover AleXanders are out
numbered 100 to l by the more
fleeting careers of the average per-
former.
And that, according to f. S.
Carpenter, dealer for Hudson and
Essex, " is just the way it is with
automobiles. Nine tenths of the big
league players you will see when the
parks open will be men who play five,
six or seven years under the top.
Many of them will slow up even
faster than that or be unfortunate
enough to meet the competition of
some new blazing star from the
bushes.
IF we extend the comparison to
that. great other American pastime
-motoring-we find there too a
severity of competition which only a
few of the 'immortals can stand
against. Think over the motor cars
fingers of one hand-the principles
of construction which have with
stood ten years of competition.
zone Of the first you'll think of Is
the Hudson Super-SiX principle. 1t
las proved it's right to permanent
stardom by living out its 10 years
of consistent usefulness and leader
ship. The Hudson Super-Six prime
| iple-patented and exclusive-is now
| in it's tenth season. 1t Is q principle
by which the vibration of a motor
is greatly reduced and it's internal
efficiency increased. Its use re-
suits in smooth and ample power,
long life. quick pickup and de-
pendable service"

Community Park ready for the &C.
tIvities of next winter be started at
cnce. Within a few days the skating
rink will be plowed up, levelled off
ard rolled which will do away with
the irregularities in the surface of
the ice that there have been in the
past.
The building at the park, used for
store, repair rooms and storage
space by the winter sport enthus-
lasts was partially burnt down last
February and 1t has been decided to
rebuild this spring. The building
will be considerably larger than it
was before the fire and will be more
suited to the needs of the park.
SUMMER WORK
No decision was made at the meet
ing yesterday as to who should be
selected as the leader at the Water
vile Fairgrounds this summer. AS
is usual the Fairgrounds this year
will be two in number, one on the
island in the kennebec river for the
children in the south end of the city
and one in the rear OF the Colby
college buildings for the children of
the north end of the city. A need
ii''o peeIi Ielt VI tiiru playground
to be situated in the western part
of Waterville but it is not thought
that it will be realized this year.
Community Park will be at the dis
posal of the older boys of the city
for their games as has been the
case during the last three years.
At the close of the meeting Mr..
Cyr gave a very interesting talk on
the work that has been accomplish
ed since the Community Service was
started. He also told OF the play
grounds and recreational meetings
which ne attended in New York this
winter and of the study he has
made of the work being done in
other cities.

One of the most pleasing social
events of the year was held last
night when the members of the Col
by Chapter of the Elpha Tau One
ga fraternity held their annual
spring dance at the Elks hall. The

ly decorated and many favorable
comments were heard on the noval

were in the main in the form of a
tent In which the ceiling and part
