been increased and more men nut back
to work. The mills are running to
capacity in most instances, cutting July

It is estimated by lumber operators
that, with the normal consumption Of
their Middle Western and Atlantic GUS

years of maximum operation by the
Northwest mills to build lumber stocks
in the yards back to the situation Of
1925. This does not take into con-

Orient and Europe. Shipments during
the past two months have been dou-

is true In the woolen textile field.

did bit toward publicizing their
principal crop, the luscious watermelon.
But here is the economic background.
On March 4, 1888, the community Of
Barwick had been busted for three
years. Its melons and its vegetables
had commanded prices which would not
pay the cost of transportation. Its
bank was closed, its only assets being
notes of the farmers which were un-
collectable because the farmers were
insolvent. The purchasing power Of the
community was nil.
With the rise in commodity prices
which followed the experiments of the
new national administration, Barwick
sold this Summer, 295 cars of water
melons at an average Of $l74.55, total
ing s51 ,50125.
Before the melons had started to
market, the cooperative agency had
sold $40, 900 worth Of turnips and green's,
and $4,000 worth Of squashes, beans
and other vegetables.

AUGUSTA, Me-, August 12.-Stoning-

ed a movement to build it. This bridge
would span the waters of famous Egge-

would probably be q million or more.
While the suggestion is that the

project and then collect tolls from
those using it. All surplus from this

So far the adoption of the codes has
