1t is this item which is chiefly
holding up the progress of Sino-

ing Of q new set of treaties be-

Although diplomatic relations were
resumed between China and the

until last April that negotiations
for the treaties began.
It was then contemplated that
all the work should be finished
within one year. That period is
nearly up and no concrete results
have yet been announced.
Russia has thus far rejected the

governor of his State and one Of its

senate. AS a child he built up a
crippled body until he became a
skilled athlete. AS a man he devel-
oped a run down farmfinto one of the
best in the State of Maine and, TAX
ing hold of an infant industry push
ed it to success. In politics he never
was daunted by opposition.
Senator Fernald, who was born in
West Poland, on April 3. 1858. was
crippled from babyhood. After un-
dergoing three operations, he took
his first step at the age of six years.
Steady exercise and gymnastic work
enabled him to gain such health and
strength that he became a leader in
schoolboy games.
Il played BASEBALL he said once,
until l was SO old l became
ashamed of it."
When he was II years old, the
death of his father cut short his
preparation for college at Hebron
academy. He went to Boston for a
brief business course, taught school
for three years and took over the
management Of the farm which was
first carved out of the wilderness by
his great great grandfather In 1875.
He paid particular attention to the
raising of dairy cows and gradually
established one of the best Holstein
herds in the State.
Sensing the possibilities In the
growing of sweet corn in Maine, he
started a corn cannery. The firm
which he established now operates
canneries scattered throughout west
ern Maine. In 1910 he was president
of the National Gamers Association:
He became part owner Of the Poland
Dairy Company and the Poland Tele-
phone Company and a director of the
Fidelity Trust Company of Portland.
His entry into politics came with
his election to the legislature In 1897,
Later he served two terms in the
State senate and in 1909 he was
elected governor. Maintaining an
active part in Republican affairs, he
was first elected to the U. S. senate
in 1916 to complete the uneXpired
term of Edwin c. Burleigh. He was
reelected in 1918 and 1924. In the
senate he served as chairman Of the
convention on public buildings and
grounds and as a member of the Arl-
ington Memorial Bridge commission,
He was married in 1877 to Annie
Keene, His wife and his daughter,
Nellie, acted as his secretaries dur
ing several of his political cam
paigns. His son, James H.. assisted
him in his business activities. He
always maintained-his home on the
West Poland farm.

Nothing he had tasted in Europe, he
observed, could compare with "a glass

Mr. Taber said he believed the farm
er's situation was "a little better than
chasing power, the Grange head con-
tinued. has increased. due to a slight
advance in farm values and slight
falling off in others, but there has
been no decrease in the cost of labor
or taxes. In general. agriculture is a
long way from pre-war conditions
in Mr.. Tabers opinion, and still has
long road to travel to return to a
normal basis"
Although the Grange will not form

Grange favors a better farm organi.

for itself through a coordinated infiu'
ence. 1t advocates the development OF
the principle of cooperative marketing

seasonal surpluses, and believes the
tariff should be made more effective
