THE PRICE OF LAND.
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

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- !
" i
er proportion of the boys anil girls]
who wish to enjoy their advantages j
find some means of gratifying that!

34 Below Zero At Portland.
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.

REWARD FOR STUDENT
Who May Discover Cure for Cancer
Within Five Years
Montreal. Jan. 24.?An offer of
$100,000 "to the graduate or stu
dent of any recognized university
who within five years after date is
the first to discover a medical treat
ment for the effective cure of can
:er" was made today by Lord Athol
?t^n, proprietor of the Montreal Star,
[t was contained in a letter to Sir
Arthur Currie, principal of McGill
jniversity.
The decision is to be made by the
Eloyal College of Physicians and Sur
geons, London, England. The offer,
vhich was made "to help in institut
ng the work of research throughout
;he world," may be renewed, the let
;er said.
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.
