The bottom has dropped out of the j price of land, so to speak. But price of everything else has dropped. While people here became discour aged because the price of land has ' j fallen we read of tragedies else-! where because of the slump in the prices of stocks. While the price of everything else is slumping nobody should expect that lands will continue j to advaace in price. t And in this immediate community,'< aid ia this section of the state, the j prices of lands have experienced a j further depression on account of the I advent of the long expected boll wee-j, vii. That not only puts prices of j farms down, but temporarily it will ^ ] help to keep them down. It will pro-;' bably make the recovery slower. But the man who owns land should not forget that the one hundred and ten millions of people in these Unit ed States must be fed, and the feed cdmes f>*om the soil; he should re member that the mules ar*I horses wkich til the soil must be fed, and the cattle on a thousand hills like?' . wise; the sheep which grow the wool ' f?r our clothing must graze upon the 1 land; in fact everything has its,1 source in the ground. Remembering 1 that, no land owner should allow him self to become too pessimistic over the present conditions. Land will cone again; the price will advance ' again. The whole country is now^ in cultivation; there is no wild land to! be taken in. The number of people, who 'must be fed continues to in-' ] crease, making thereby a constantly 1 increasing and more insistent de-' mand for the products of the farms, j We will yet come into our own. So why worry? Sit "stiddy" in the boat, j 1 WHY PEOPLE GO TO COLLEGE j j" J Someone in Boston has been try-1 < i ing to unearth some hidden reason 1; why so many boys and girls are; ] flocking into the colleges. Various!] college and university anthorities i hare been led to give their opinions, j but absolutely nothing new has been j ] developed. College attendance has,: been increasing since the war, but it. i had been increasing rapidly lOng|: before the war. There is just one:! reason for it, and that is the recog-j nition that advanced education brings j various advantages to its possessor, j This is no modern discovery. Cicero's j father could see the truth of it, up ;,i ! his little hill town of Arpinum, and J so he brought his boy down to Romej to be educated, in order to give his! boy a better chance than he himself I had ever had. If every American boy who want-! ed to go to college had seen his way| to do so, there has been no day since j the foundation of Harvard when the J colleges would have been able to ac commodate those who would have j sought entrance. More and more, as| the country grows generally wealth- j ier, and the work of the colleges are} Vfc-nrMiorVifr rilncoi' ir\ tVm maccdt ji larcr- !

Portland, Maine, Jan. 24.?Tern-,, peratures ranging from an unofficial' reading of 34 below zero at Gorham, ] to 7 below at the weather bureau here marked the coldest weather of | the winter in Cumberland county to-1 day. Thermometers showed 22 be low at West Brook, 26 below in the Stroud water district here and 12 below at Cape Elizabeth. CROMER TO THE BAT Can Kill WeeriU if He Can Learn Habits Col S. F. Cromer is interested in the appointment of a County Agent. If the agent is to be appointed the Colonel wishes to be it. "See here now, I Golly, I want you to put this in tha paper," he said this morning (He wil probably borrow a paper to read about it). "I want to find out the habits of the boll weevil," he said, "and whe?n I get his habits, whether he travels in the day or night time, I Golly, all I want then is <rAf nn art through eoncrefis to I give me two dollars a bale for getting rid of him." The Colqpel seams to think that the bjig which has puzzled the far mers of the South for so many years, and about which so much has "been J said, and to get rid of which so much has been spent, is a simple matter for him to handle, if he can get the matter of "habits" settled. Let him go to it, I Golly. RESCUE ORPHANAGE SEEKING ASSISTANCE The main dormitory of the Rescue Drphanage Was destroyed by fire fan. 8th, and seventy-one little chil dren were made homeless.

RUSSIA IS A NATION OF SHORT HAIRED WOMEN Moscow, Jan 24?Russia has be come a nation of short haired wom en. This is to the newcomer is sup posed to be a symptom of communist | leanings, in a country where the | men formerly advertised their faith 1 in the Soviet brand of politics by j wearing long hair, heavy beards, | leather coats and top iwots. As a | matter of fact, the majority of | short-haired women are not com- | munist at all. They earned their | short hair by surviving the typhus. | Typhus is as common in Russia as | mumps in the United States. Those | who contract it, men or women, | have their heads shaved, and the | women who survive wear short hair | because they have no other, and 1 their own will not grow back for f years, if ever.
