The program for the day opened at 2 p. m. when Eastern Maine Encamp­ment No. 40 of D&nforth exemplified the work of the Patriarchial degree in a very pleasing manner, each member of the degree team doing his work with a snap that showed careful •tody and rehersal.

Following the work of the first degree a procession was formed for a march to Mounment park where a group photograph was taken. From the park the delegation continued the march to Watson hall, where an elaborate banquet under the direction ci Portia Rebekah lodge, was served.

Upon returning to the hall the degree work was continued, Patten Encampment No. 6 working the Golden Rale degree, while Aroostook En­campment No. 41 conferred the final or Royal Purple degree.

The business session being finished speeches were in order, and visiting patrlarchn were given an opportunity to address the gathering.

Musical numbers were interspersed with the speech making, with solo by Mr. Peterson, and selections by the Odd Fellows* quartette, consisting of Messrs. Berrie, Chandler, Hovey aaA McGlnley, all of which were orach enjoyed.

FIRE MONDAY AFTERNOONWhat was left of the old Titcomb

mill on Bangor street was burned to the ground on Monday afternoon, the fire starting about 2.45.

The mill has been used for storage for a number of years and was in bad repair and for some time it has been a rendevous for hoboes, and it was doubtless that the fire was caused from carelessly throwing a match down, happening as It did during the middle of the afternoon.

The Houlton Ice Co. had a large amount of ice stored there as well as Hnggard Bros, having 15 new pungs there, the loss of which is covered by Insurance. There were also 25 pungs stored there owned by different parties In town, on which there was no insurance.

The buildings were owned by the Madigan estate and were of no material value.

The Fire Dept, as usual did a good job in protecting adjoining property menaced by flying cinders.

ONE W AV TO BOOM MAINE(Bangor Commercial)

We have just noticed two letters in the Rockland Courier-Gazette that in­terested us. One is by a Rockland citizen who has just made an extend­ed trip to New Orleans, then to Cali­fornia and Honolulu, the other from another Rockland man who is writ­ing home from Los Angeles. Read­ing these letters the thought came to us of how Maine would have boom­ed if we had been able to keep at home the Maine people who have settled in other states and given their ability and energy to development elsewhere.

The first letter told of meeting Maine people, mostly Rockland peo­ple, all along the route. In the South on the Pacific coast and even in the Hawaiian islands, the traveler found old friends. In Florida, in Texas and j Louisiana, in California and in fact! in all states there are to be found ! many Maine people. And these Maine j boys and girls have made good for, according to statistics as drawn from Who’s Who, Maine has furnished more names for this catalogue o f! success in its male and female emi- j grants to other states in proportion j to its population than any other state j in the Union.

And so it seems to us that a very Important factor in the Boom Maine movement now being carried on so energetically is the result that it should have in keeping Maine boys and girls at home. The chief reason that our population has not increased more rapidly is that our boys and girls and men and women have sought other sections to achieve their liveli­hood. We must furnish the opportuni­ties at home and make Maine so attractive in possibilities that we can keep our younger population.

^nd now we come to the second letter in which a former Rockland man who has given California a good trial says he is coming back to Maine as soon as he can dispose of his prop­erty in California. He says that Maine is good enough for him. That its climate is better, its opportunities for a livelihood greater. He does net deny that there are good chances to make money in California but he also says that there are equal opportuni­ties to lose money; that California investment is too uncertain for him and that the costs of living are much greater than in Maine and that this will more than consume the addition­al revenue that may be gained.

To Boom Maine we must first make Maine People believe in Maine; must make them realize that in spite of our cold winters we have a climate that is health living and attractive that we have the opportunities for advance­ment and, all in all, that Maine is the best state in the Union. If we are successful in promulgating this doc­trine then our people will remain at home And give their energy and brains to building up our own state and not to increase the development of other localities. One trouble has been that we have been slow in advertising our advantages. The Pacific Coast and j Florida are examples of constant ef-1 fort in advertising. Every resident j makes an effort to boom their locali- j ties. We have the goods here in Maine, we should lose no opportunity to convince the world of this.

they say,” she continued. “I never realized what those two things meant till I have been trying these past two years to make a place for myself and found that I was neither thorough nor accurate in anything I attempted to do. I have always been called the bright one of the family, if I may say it. Anything which I have done has been heralded as ra ther remarkable and praise has been my constant food. But when the day of trouble came and I begun to try to place my­self I discovered right away the wide difference which exists between am ateur and professional, and that distance is bridged only by thorough­ness, believe me.

“I have been considered a good ' musician. I was called on frequently to sing at 'entertainments we have given, always picked for a part in am ateur operettas, asked to play ac­companiments for all sorts of things or give solo numbers on various pro­grams. I thought I was pretty good at it until I s tarted in to find a chance to sing in some church choir. Then I l e a n e d that my voice is yneven, bad­ly controlled, faulty in spots, and a few other things which make it impossible for me to score. It was gooc enough for friends to praise, but not good enough for s trangers to en­joy. I found the same thing about my playing: it was brilliant in places but erratic and I do not read correct­ly, much less execute; I can ’t even get a place to demonstrate music at a departm ent store. It isn’t a bit satisfying to my pride, I assure you.

■ ‘‘I considered myself a good Frenchj scholar at school, and have chattered i it in our club since leaving school with j fluency, according to the other girls, j But I couldn’t pass the simplest ex- | animation for a teacher, for my accent j was ‘atrocious’ and my vocabulary too j limited, the examiners said. I used i to pass excellent exams in bookkeep­ing and can ratt le a type machine quite a bit. but tha t w asn’t good enough to get a place, even as assistant, in the stores where I appli­ed for work. So many other girls who had superior speed and accuracy were on the waiting list I soon gave it up.

‘‘I have oodles of fancy work in the house that I have done at odd times, loving to do it, and I thought that there, surely, was a chance to make a lot of money. But if you could have heard the dealers criticise when I pre­sented some of it; uneven, too coarse stitches, too irregular corners, not turned square, etc. 1 felt my heart sink to my boots, and not even t h e i r kind offers to consider anything which I might do that was really up to standard cheered me up. I am just a sample of the usual family bright o n e . showy but not accurate nor thorough, and i t ’s hard to admit. But it's t h e

I never want them to be caught in the trap of inefficiency that snared me.”

Readers perplexed by the never- ending conflict of assertion and denial regarding sovietism will turn with a sense of relief to the volfimi-Inous report on the new Russia just issued by tilt1 British government. The outcome of an investigation by a special committee under the chair­manship of Lord Ernmott, it out­lines the rise of bolshevism, describes the system in operation, tells of the decay that has already overtaken it, and forecasts its probable future. It is made plain at the outset that com­munism did not win its way to power in Russia because of communistic leanings of the people, but "because the political and economic oppression in which the Russian workers lived made them willing to support any political programs which aimed at the overthrow of autocracy.

The committee is willing to con­cede that thus far the soviet govern­ment has had little time and only restricted opportunities, but it points out that the practical efforts of bol­shevism up to the present, so far as they affect production, have been "a disastrous failure.” By destroying capitalism in Russia the .Moscow theorists have assisted in bringing about a complete collapse of the Russian industries. The power of officialdom has meanwhile ‘‘devel­oped on a sta le to which there is no parallel," and “represents an attempt to control completely the conditions of work and leisure, of food and drink,

amusement, of home life, of

nation whose exceeds 120,-

edueation, the soviet enthus-

'direeted primari­ly not to assist the free expression of ideas, but to develop the human mind as a machine for the reception and exposition of the government's conception of communism."

In impressive fashion the committe'* punctures the Bolshevist attempt to disavow responsibility for the policies of the Third International, and does this by showing that the two parties, only formally distinguishable from each other, are working together, and that "the destruction of capitalism bv violence, not onlv in Russia, but

merchants in Madison, Wisconsin, lays emphasis upon the difficulties encountered by small retail stores. It combats the popular impression that retail stores have gathered in large profits. It finds that the re ta il­e r who is able to earn a salary of $2500 is in a class so rare that he should feel fortunate. It believes that profiteering exists only when a monopoly artificially controls and limits supply.

I Small stores, the university experts j find, do not come out as well as they

think they do, because so frequently a good deal of labor is performed by members of the family of the owner, which family work is not paid for. If this was compensated as other stores have to pay for it, the profit would largely disappear.

The unive-sity report says and its conclusions are equally true of thou­sands of o ther places:

“The distribution of Madison’s food supply is now accomplished by so many retailers that the average ones do too small a business. The small retailer can not buy efficiently. The two chief weaknesses of the present retail system are th a t the costs of operating a small store are greater than those of large stores, and that small size prevents efficient buying.”

The conclusion seems inevitable. The small store can overcome its economic handicap in only one way, and that is by advertising. By m ak­ing a specialty of a few lines which it can handle efficiently, and by soliciting trade for these specialties, it can soon increase its trade. The enlarged volume will cut down its operating (expense per article sold, and enable it to enlarge its opera­tions.

The public will hack up such a store, as it. proves by its publicity work that it has the spirit and en te r ­prise that will enable it to go ahead and place its business on a sound and economic basis.

TH E IMMIGRATION BILLThe immigration restriction bill,

which went to the President on May | 13, he signed on Thursday. It be- I comes effective fifteen days after enactment, and will remain in force until June 30, 1022. Under its terms, immigration from any country during the period it is in force is limited to 3 per cent, of the number of immi­grants from that country who are already here, as recorded in the census of 1910. The question has been raised why the census of 1910 was taken as the basis of computa­tions ra ther than the census of 1920; but, at the time the bill was being trail ed, the details of the 1920 census were not accessible. If 1920 had been taken as the basis, the allot­ments to different countries would have varied somewhat, but the aggregate would have been very near­ly the same, for the official figures just published show that the total increase of the alien-born population from 1910 to 1920 was only 358,442, while during the preceeding decade it was nearly ten times as g rea t— or, :o be exact, was 3,131,728. The 3 per cent, limit means tha t the lota number of immigrants who will be permitted to en ter the coun­try during the next year is about 350,000.

The new law marks a new de­part ire in national policy. H ither­to, the incoming floods of immigrants

have been regarded ra th e r with satis­faction as proof of the extent to which the foreign-born recognized the superior opportunities for advance­ment which this county afforded. But the experience of the last few years has taught us that there are immi­grants and immigrants; and that, while a large proportion of the new­comers might have the making of industrious and worthy citizens, an unrestricted immigration, under con­ditions now prevailing in Europe, would precipitate upon us problems too serious to be lightly accepted. The overwhelming majorities by which the restriction bill passed both houses of Congress—in the Senate with only a single dissenting vote—are sufficient proof tha t the need of restriction was fully appreciated.

Recuperation—there is not so much in the ordinary vacation as there is in a single bottle o f Hood’s S a rsap a r­illa, which refreshes the tired blood, sharpens the dulled appetite, restores the lost courage. Take Hood’s S a r­saparilla this summer.

KENDALL TALKSON WATER POWERS

That the people of Maine through virtue of holding stock in the big utilities within that state now control these concerns is pointed out in the following article written for the Post by W. B. Kendall of Bowdoinham. He also points out how state ownership of water power will shut the doors of opportunity to Mnine boys.

Mr. Kendall is one of the most in­fluential business men in Maine. For

bined with nature’s great gift water, that’s the answer.

In Maine the bulk of the people’s money is tied up in what I shall class of three great industries. Of these agriculture is the greatest in point of money involved; the second is the power development, of which the Cen­tral Maine Power company is the larg­est concern; third is the railroads, which practically means the Maine Central. These three are inter-com­municative. S tate ownership of pow­er will kill two of them at a fell

Every election would mean an up­heaval. The people might he abso­lutely a t the mercy of (‘very whim of every Legislature, and wouldn't gain a single advantage, for the control would simply shift from Maine stock­holders to a visionary management.

MASONIC CHARM WASRESPECTED BY CHIEF

Captured by Sioux Indians, sen­tenced to die and saved by no less a personage than Sitting Bull were ex­periences of David Weinberg of Brooklyn, N. Y. He was a passenger on a stage coach out in the Black Hills more than half a century ago when the stage was held up by a band of Indians. The following morning he was taken before the tr ibe’s chief, who was Sitting Bull, recognized as a member of the Masonic fraternity by the noted Indian chief, pardoned, and la ter given a ring made front a nugget of gold bearing a square and compass. This ring was recently exhibited and his experience with an

he stated Sitting Bull had given him. One was of the Indian chief and the other was of the chief’s daughter, Black Foot, and her husband, Boy-in- the-Water. Mr. Weinberg said be had become acquainted with the daughter and her husband, and also with little Yellow Dog, son of Sitting Bull.

Mr. Weinberg was ot the opinion tha t Sitting Bull had been made a Mason by the Aztecs at Montezuma. Mexico. He was able to converse with the chief because he (Weinberg) was able to speak Spanish. He also speaks six other modern languages and, in addition, Hebrew. Dir. Wein­berg was raised in Zerubbabel Lodge F. & A. M.. at Brooklyn, of which T. Greenbaum was master. April 10, 1871. He was exalted in Metropolitan Chapter, It. A. M., the same year. He came to Brooklyn from the West in 1SS4 and joined the Masonic Veterans Association in 1895. He numbered among his best friends the late W. H. Sutton, Bishop David H. Greer and Theodore Roosevelt. One of his most treasured communications is one from Roosevelt which reads:

“Good luck and fraternal greeting to David Weinberg from Bro. Theo­dore Roosevelt. May 20, 191T"

are tbe two greatest public utilities in Maine. They were brought to their present state of development by Maine men and they are now own­ed and con trolled almost entirely by Maine men and Maine capital. Thou­sands of owners of Maine Central stock are also holders of Central j Maine Power Company stock and this largely among the common people. How then would such con­cerns be any better under the admin­istration of politicians than they now are in the control of Maine citizens who developed and own them?

H o ld e rsest opportunity for water power lies In tbe hands of the private owners and if these bad been encouraged sufficiently 15 years ago enough power would now be developed in Maine to electrify tbe Maine Central railroad and today we would be in possession of one of the finest rail­roads In tbe country, modern, safe, clean. Instead we find the railroad representatives at the capital begging financial legislative assistance.

Interests Interlocking Tbe interests of these two cited

concerns are interlocking the mission of one is to carry freight and passen­gers and the other to develop power for light, heat and motive. If as I say, private capital had been encour­aged we would not find the railroad sending millions of Maine money to Pennsylvania to pay exorbitant rates for coal. Our own harnessed water would have supplied the motive pow­er at a low rate under properly en­couraged private capital. The Central Maine Power company were able to operate during the period of the war at scarcely aq increase in their rates. Proper private management, com­

It Costs Only

Five Cents a Dayor $1.50 per month for helpful med­ical treatment if you take Hood’s Sarsaparilla, known in thousands of homes as the best reconstruc­tive tonic.

TELEPHONE FIELD DAY(Continued from page 1)

Miss H.—Has Bob Yetton been up lately?

Miss C —Yes, Bob always gets here on time now. You know he has a Big Bonn to wake him up.

Miss H.—Wake him up? I thought the Big Benn kept him up.

Miss C — Did you hear what was said about service calls lately?

Miss H.—Do you mean the Ex­changes calling each other to say that Mr. Black is on his way?

Mlg8 c.—Oh Hemphill! You don’t suppose Mr. Black knows we do that? Why, no, I mean I heard Miss English say she had been asked for very few service calls until the Cashiers and Chief Operators heard that J. Dal Luther would be with us on Field Day. Who do you suppose she means?

Miss H.—Why, Clark, do you sup­pose she means me?

Miss C.—Oh, Hemphill! Let’s go South this fall.

Miss H.—Why?Miss C.—Havn’t you seen the big

diamond Miss English is sporting, and they say she is going to have a car and a chaffeur to go with it this fall.

Miss H.—Here comes Browne!Miss C.—You’re not frightened

Browne are you?Miss H.—No. Well, good bye.

Following the feast a social hour was enjoyed In different ways, danc­ing, canoeing, boating, etc., after whioh those present assembled and had their pictures taken. When Mr. Porter had used up his ammunition the party assembled in the Pavillion where a most entertaining program was carried out under the direction of Miss English (who by the way is soon to leave Aroostook for Florida to make her home) ably supported by J. Dal Luther and a cast of characters from the different exchanges which would put a Broadway cast very much in the shade, in the presentation of “The Telephone Promoter’’ with the following characters:The Promoter J. Dal LuthejrThe Widow Cora ThompsonTelephone Girls

Bessie Bryson, Mora Dilling, Rosina Wetmore, Houlton; Cora Sharp, Lime­stone; Margaret White, Fort Fair- Held; Pearl Bernard, Presque Isle. Porter Robert Yetton

During the play the following numbers were rendered in a very pleasing manner:The Magic of Your Eyes

J. Dal Luther Widow’s Kiss Mrs. ThompsonKentucky Blues Mammy’s Apron Strings

Mr. Luther and Telephone Girls Hello Frisco

Mrs. Wetmore and Mr. Luther Considering the handicaps of no

stage with all of its accessories, the performance went off w ith a g reat deal of snap and the parts were all well taken especially the colored porter, for Bob seemed to be right in his element, and when it was consider­ed that it was presented af te r only one rehearsal, it shows the talent there was in the cast.

Ed Gonya of the Presque Isle Ex­change entertained with some very clever free hand crayon work, which was excellent.

During the program Mr. Black, as Master of ceremonies remarked that he had heard that there were some “free verse’’ that was in existence and during the performace these were given and the hits that these made was shown by the manner in which they were received by those who were the subjects as well as by the others present.

The following are from the originals With the names of the authors:

Miss Fox of Houlton and Miss Hodsdon of Caribou.

The next event was the foot race conducted by H. G. Brown of Presque Isle and the following teams entered:Houlton and Fort Fairfield composed of Leah Grant, Kathleen Putnam,Mildred McDougal, Lenora White,Lucia Putnam, Pauline Kelley, ran j your good offices, as 1 happened against Presque Isle, Caribou and Van Huron and was made up of:Pearl Bernard, Alma Dickinson, Goldie Pelltey, Mabel Therriault and Gertrude Cyr. Houlton and Fort Fairfield won the race and the individual prizes were won by Pauline Kelley of Fort Fairfield and Mabel Therriault.

This concluded the program for the day although quite a number stayed for the dance in the evening, and the unanimous opinion of all present was that the Aroostook Tel.& Tel. Co. had not only pmled off the greatest event in the history of any telephone company, but that the second annual Field Day was a grand event, and already plans are being made for the third annual next year.

ful hymn of Gladdens- “O Master let me walk with Thee," sung with reference* to its true meaning in the church service.

And so the service ended and I walked out of that little white church without knowing the names of either the pastor or singers who had so exalted the service, but I was duly thankful tha t my feet had been led to its doors and the day made to me , beautiful. ■

And so I am addressing this l i t t le ' word of appreciation to them through

topass your place of business on my way to church, and go my way en- heartened and stronger by reason of a rich full church service that may mean so much to the tired s tranger who often finds Sunday the hardest to pass in all the week.

Thanking you, I am.The Passing Stranger.

If you can listen to that voice of ire,And ev’ry sense of courtesy retain;

If you can daily find your work a pleasure.

And strive to please the public all day long.

If you can give th is old world goodly measure,

Of kindliness and friendliness and song;

If you can feel each day is worth the living,

Not merely live it, just because you must,

If you can learn the a r t of sweet for giving.

And master, too, the a r t of being just;

If you can strive and toil, and ne’er grow weary,

And share with undeserved com plain t0,

If you can. bear life’s burdens and be cheery,

And deal alike with sinners and with saints;

If, ev ’ry day your patience has grown greater.

And you have filled each day with kindliness;

Then you’ve become a perfect operatorAnd, which i- more, you have

achieved success.

Houlton, Maine,June l'Jth, 11)21

Mr. Editor:May I, as an entire stranger in

your fine town express through your paper a word of appreciation of the service at one of your many churches this morning.

When at home l am somewhat active in the musical part of our service so that when away I am always interest.-1 ed in what. I may find along this line. With this in view this morning I left my hotel about se rv in ' time and noticing a little white church which looked inviting I dropped in simply because it was the first one I noticed and evidently the nearest to the hotel.

As I entered I was promptly given a good seat by a very courteous usher and the lady organist opened the voluntary by using one of Hie dignifi­ed numbers of Handel, and while the organ was of only moderate capacity it was handled to good advantage and it became apparent later in the se r ­vice that she was a most excellent accompanist.

Up to this time no choir had ap ­peared and remembering that the roads were good and weather pleasant I began to wonder if any singers were likely to be in evidence but as the voluntary progressed several ladies and one man filed in followed by what proved to be the pastor.

The. service opened with the usual form and as the Doxology was rendered heartily and in good form t became more interested and settled back to enjoy what promised to be a good service, which in my travels I find not a ltogether frequently.

I noticed that the responsive read­ing was joined in most heartily by the congregation and this was follow­ed by the first real vocal number which came with the singing of Houghton's “ Understood” by a lady who with the first full resonant tone assured me that it was going to he given in an artis tic way as well as in a worshipful spirit. With a full, rich mezzo-soprano the lower as well as the higher tom's were all that could be wished' for in this now often used composition, and the final Lines were given in a most feeling and satisfactory way.

This was followed by the reading of scripture, af ter which a ra ther slight young lady arose with a piece of music and I recognized the opening chord to that classic "Fear not ye, O Israel” and naturally was anxious to know what the rendering was to be, ( remembering that: I was not in a. city where salaried singers are nmn> in evidence.

May I say that perhaps I was in a receptive mood in listening to the previous singer, wFieri with complete ease and tones of wonderful purity this singer gave to the quiet listeners i this message of the old master and as she closed with those melting words 1 “I have redeemed thee" if came as a ! benediction to that congregation and still linger with me and will fur many i a day. |

Appearing on this day are a trio of young ladies who sing and play some of the most popular numbers. They are called the “New Englanders,” and it seems as though their work carries through it the charm of the New Eng­land atmosphere.

America’s foremost humorist, Strick­land Gillilan, appears on the Fourth j day. His “fun” lecture, “Just Among ‘Ourselves,” is worth the price of the j* season ticket alone. If Mr. Gillilan J can’t fiiake your smile broader and j your heart bigger, than you are beyond hope.

The International Concert Party will present a program on this day composed of the best songs and music played in the best way. The members of his quartet are all of different nationalities, the combination result­ing in a delightful vocal and instru­mental concert.

Separators or InsulatorsOrdinary separators ore a natural product

and therefore, are never strictly uniform. They are made of thin sheets of chemically- treated wood.

Threaded Rubber Insulators are a manufac­tured product and therefore, absolutely uni­form. They give uniform protection to the bat­tery plates and uniform satisfaction to the user.

Threaded Rubber Insulators do not warp, crack, check, carbonize or puncture. They put an end to loss of time, temper, battery rental and money that are inevitable when

ordinary separators are used. Threaded Rubber Insulators are found only in the Willard Threaded Rubber Battery.

So thoroughly has it been established through more than five years* experience that the Willard Threaded Rubber Battery gives more miles of uninterrupted service per dollar, that it has been selected as standard equipment for 173 cars.

Bone dry—the only battery that can be shipped and stocked without a drop of moisture in it.

The manufacturers of the cars listed below have selected Threaded Rubber Insulation for their cars because:1. Rubber is by far the best insulating ma­terial known.2. Threaded Rubber Insulation is the most satisfactory form of porous rubber — and battery insulation must be porous to allow free passage of the solution.

3. Experience has proved that T h re a d e d R u b b e r In a u le t io n outlasts the battery plates — and consequently means greater value and greater satisfaction to the owners of their cars.

TOWING WORLDA. F. ••Hand of Muakagon, Mich.,

In City(Kennebec Journal)

Straight, stalwart, snappy, with the neck and shoulders of a fighter, the clear, keen eye of a scholar, the manner of a gentleman and the Meals of a Christian, J. F. Belland, walked into Augusta, Friday after­noon, shortly after 4 o'clock, having been walking since May 13, 1913,when he left the corner of Penn­sylvania avenue and 13th street at 13 minutes past 9 in the morning with 13 cents in his pocket. He has been 11 years, eight months and five days on the road. When he com­pletes his tour of the world which must be done before Jan. 6, 1925, he will receive 1100,000 from a number of business men of Washington, D. € .

Clad In a dark blue sailor suit with puttees of leather and a leather cap, which he carries for the most part in his hand, this world-walker is most practically dressed. He car­ries a cane, made from horn, heavy apd said to be most efficient in ward­ing off canines of vicious intents.

he says) through 2$ countries in all in Europe, British Isles being the last place. He sails from Queens­town, Dec. 25, 1924, due at Sandy Hook, New York, Jan . 3, 1925. Due at Washington, D. C., at 9.13 A. M. Jan. 6, 1S25—“and that’s pay day.”

Belland was in the Spanish Ameri­can war. T h a t ’s ju s t a side issue. But folks a re always in terested in w ar records. “Look younger than that, don’t I?” H e’s openly proud of his fine physical condition. He is on a diet, not ea ting any meats, fish, white grains or sugar. When he s ta r ted from W ashington, D. C., way back in 1913, he had no hat, no shoes bu t he did have a silk Ameri­can flag, which was presented him by George W. Goethals, who built the Panam a Canal. He still has the flag because he look it out and passed it around the Journa l office, when he was invited to come in and explain his reason for being. He says th a t he does not go to the news­paper offices unless asked. But w hat cub repo rte r wouldn’t have am ­bitions, when they saw this much- tanned man, bearing knapsacks m a rk ­ed “Around the W orld?”

Since Saturday last he has walked 286 miles, coming from Burlington, Vt., coming, across New H am pshire s ta te in one day. In th a t time he had two lifts, riding 19 miles in all. He can take a ride, but he must not

Strapped around his wais t is a wide i for one “W hen I hear the honk leather belt which is the m eans of I 0j a h orn th a t is w arning for mecarrying various small knapsacks.

“A new kind of hobo,” “see the dude” and the like are some of the expressions that Mr. Belland says have reached his ears. But his keen philosophy of life appears to have been the means of carrying him over many rough places.

He is now 11 days ahead of his schedule. He has put 13 cents in a bank in every town through which he has passed, making a total of 69,- 076 banks. He has deposited one dollar in every county seat bank, making 2,026 of those. Theere have been 54 capitals thus tar in which he has deposited 65 and Augusta will make the 55th. All bank accounts are being verified by post marks. Thepe he carries in a cloth-paged book He has alreadj passed through 41 states of the United States, through Canada, Mexico, all South America, Central America, West and Bast Indies, Madacasgar and Japan, having traveled 69,087 miles in all. •Gracious! But don’t stop at those figures. Listen to this. The total number of miles that he will have

to look out for danger, 1 walk to the side of the road. But I do not turn around facing them. If they ask me to have a ride I can do so. People don’t ask you to ride as much as they ought.”

Because he is 11 days ahead of h is schedule, Mr. Belland th inks h e h a s so much to his advantage. A u g u s ta , Me., is the far thes t north th a t h e will go th is year. So he is supposed to be here on the longest day and work south, being fa r th e r south a t

the shortest day. Thus he hits the resorts and summer places, making better financial gain. He can ans­wer questions pertaining to a list of “ologies” and such as long as your arm and back again. For this he can receive pay. He does not accept any invitations to pass the night in homes unless both man and wife give him the invitation. “I have an invitation to go home and pass the night with the man. When I get to bed in the guest cham ber then I can hea r the man being scolded by the wife for bringing home a stranger. No sir, nothing like th a t any more. I don’t accept any invitations to go to a home unless the man and wife are both there on the spot and ask me to go home with them .”

A fter passing the night here he will deposit his money in the banks according to the above rules and then s ta r t along.

WHICH IS THEGREATER CRIME?

Under our laws a woman who takes the life of a day-old infant can be arrested , tried and punished for infanticide.

But we have no law by which parents of a child over two years of age, who have “known for more than

a year” that the little one was deaf, and consequently dumb, and have done nothing to try to remedy the child’s deafness, but “may do some­thing this summer or fall,” may be punished for such neglect.

In the first case, the child lives one day, and knows little or no suffering. In the o ther case the child may grow up to even an advanced age, by paren ta l neglect condemned to the life of a deaf-mute.

Should parental neglect of a baby result in death from starvation, we could, and probably would, deal with the paren ts in a more or less sum m ary way; but we do not a t tem p t to in te rfe re with paren ts whose deli­bera te neglect of the ir child insures a life-long handicap as a deaf-mute. Last week I came in contact with this case of neglect of the little two-year- old deaf-mute.

Under no circum stances is in fan­ticide to be condoned; it is a crime to take a life. But, is it any less a crime to knowingly allow a child to grow up with a life-long handicap?

At the ap­pointed hour on the day designated the young man, driving the horse hitched to a freshly-painted buggy, called for the young woman. They s ta r ted on the drive and the horse tro tted along a t a satisfac tory speed for the first half-mile. W hen the speed began to slacken the young man said :

“Get up, Closer.”The girl immediately m ade proper

the youth, apologetically.“Well, t h a t ’s ju s t w hat I was

“Why, you are, of course,” said the d river in am azement.

“Well, please do me the honor and

kicks a rear tire with an admiring foot, “there’s a lucky tire!" Give him a chance and he’ll tell you all about it.

And then you 11 find that what he calls “luck” is simply his first experience with a quality standard tire.

It all comes to th is—buy a U. S. Tire anywhere in this country and you get definite, predictable value for your money no matter w hat weight caryou drive.

The man who has been guessing his way through “overstocks," “discontinued lines,” “job lots” and the like, will find it refreshing to talk with the local U. S. Tire dealer who is concentrating on a full, com­pletely sized line of U. S. Tires.

For the first time he will hear some straight quality tire facts — and get the difference between chance and certainty intire buying.

The U. S. Tires he sees in stock are fresh, li ve tires. They come direct to the dealer irom his neighboring Factory Branch.

FAMOUS AUTHORDELIGHTED BY HIS

TRIP INTO MAINE“Maine has astonished me!”James Oliver Curwood so answered

the question of what he thought of this State after a four days’ tour. He followed the answer with a query.

"Why do the people of your State go to California or any other pldce In search of delightful scenery?”

Mr. Curwood was informed that it was beyond the comprehension of many people who had given thought to the subject.

“It is a wonderful State; a grand State. It has astonished me, for I had not the slightest anticipation of what it was. This is my first visit. My notion, if I had one was, well, Maine is talked about as a State of big woods and big game and I guess perhaps that was what I expected, but you have something else.

“Maine is Yankee land, indeed!“I have been delighted with the

people I have met, along the coast and such of your inland as I have visited. They are good, virile men and women; the types which built up the nation. The children, too. showj the same characteristics. I like the people I have met.”

Mr. Curwood then gave it as his opinion that the scenery of Maine equals that of California or any oth­er state.

It is barely possible that you do not know James Oliver Curwood; if so it is time you did.

James Oliver Curwood is an author, a literary man, who writes red Hood­ed fiction; that is stories of real life, action and real people. He is of the type of authors of which Jack Lon­don and Rex Beach are always count­ed. Most of^his stories deal with life in Alaska and the great lumber woods of the west.

He is, as mentioned, a literary man. but he fails to live up to the • general idea of what that sort of person ought to look like. His hair is cut like any ordinary man’s, and he looks real human. In a word, if

R eferee in B ank ru ptcy .

you met the gentleman on the street you’d not turn around to look at him because of any eccentricity in his appearance.

Not once would you do so.You might tu rn to take another

squint because he would impress you as ju s t your idea of w hat the genu­ine young American business man should be. Well built, neatly but net foppishly dressed, with a color on his face which stam ps him as one who lives much in the out of doors.

There you are introduced to Jam es Oliver Curwood, whose stories in the red blooded magazines you have probably read a score of times and whose motion picture plays you have seen on the screens of the local th e a ­ters.

Mr. Curwood recently entered into a contrac t with the Pine Trees P ic­tures, Incorporated, to write a series of picture plays dealing with the life 0 l Maine. He came to look the S ta te over, and th a t is what he has been doing in company with former Governor Carl E. Milliken of Augus­ta and Frederick W. Hinckley of South Portland, two directors of the company.

They m et a t Portland and m otor­ed to Boothbay Harbor, going from there to Monhegan hv boat and

thence to Port Clyde, where the mo* tor again conveyed them to Rock­land, from which place they travel­ed by steamboat to Isleaboro and Castine and thence by motor to Ban­gor and Bar Harbor. They also vis­ited the Indian reservation at Old- town and then came to Augusta and to Lewiston. In Lewiston, Messrs Curwood and Hinckley called a t the Lewiston Journal office for a brief visit, and then proceeded to Portland, where the au thor will remain over Saturday night, when he will s ta r t for New York city and his home in Michigan.

Mr. Curwood will re turn to Maine about the first of Septem ber to be­gin his actual work and will he here for some time.

Mr. Curwood said it was impossi­ble to find any part of the country be tte r adapted to the making of motion picture plays than is Maine, while his rapid tran s i t tr ip th ru the S ta te had convinced him th a t here was enough m ateria l here to keep a corps of scenario w riters on the jump.

“With this combination ” said he, “there is no reason why motion pictures cannot be produced in Maine as well as anywhere else. You have both the sea coast and the forests.

and both are admirable for the work.” James Oliver Curwood is greatly

interested in the conservation of the wild life of the nation. You can­not talk five minutes with him and not become aware of that.

“Maine,” said he, “is so well adapt­

ed to the establishment of game reservation; areas in which the wild life of the country can be preserved and protected for the generations which are to come, that it has a I strong appeal to me. |

“It is the ideal State in which to ;

create and establish national parksand forest preserves. Instead of a single national park you ought to have a dozen. I do not understand why the nation has not done more in this line, while it has the oppor­tunity.”

building is practically safe while even broken rods are better than none. As proof of the value of rods it was shown by statistics that out of 525 cases of buildings reported to have been struck by lightning, only throe were known to be rodded. In the cities the danger is much less than in isolated section, as the current is diverted by the masses of surround-

The high official to whom the Ex- “Don’t scorn grandm other 's feather press correspondent was ta lking tip- bed,” said the major, who rem arked ped back his chair and went on, he not only had no, fear of

advertisem ents may be seen in the Berlin papers, offering as much as 400 m arks for a 20-mark gold coin and 10 m arks for a 1-mark silver coin.

All notes from 1-mark—normal value 24 cen ts—upwards are made by the government, and are only valid in the d istric t of the town whose name they bear, neither can they be exchanged abroad.

persons th a t the Governor and Council took over and became responsible for the detours around the work th a t is now being done on the s ta te high­ways.

The responsibility for detours rests directly upon the s ta te highway com­mission, and for the first time since M aine’s road program was begun, a definite policy has been fixed as to ju s t what shall be done on these d e ­tours.

The genera*! law provides tha t if an emergency arises the Governor and Council may make regulations govern-

and the responsibility, instead of be­ing divided, is now placed solely up­on the highway commission.

man who beats his wife,” said a passenger in the smoker of the 5.15.

“Well,” said another, a timid, un­dersized fellow, ‘ a man who can beat up his wife doesn’t need any sym­pathy.”

“You asked me why the New England -climate was variable, and that’s the answer.”

Then the weather man explained by word, book and chart how it happens that the valleys of the Connecticut, the Merrimack and the great rivers of

stormsbut always watched them closely and counted the seconds between flash ami thunder so to accurately measure the distance away. But he was quite willing to ta lk on safety methods for people who are afraid. “Who ever heard of an automobile being s t ru ck ?”

Maine are catch-alls for storms from asked he. “And linemen use rubbei all sections of the Country and for J gloves when handling w ire s , glass is storms that originate across seas aswell, sometime including those that start out on a course that sweeps them to the United State from Japan or the Philippines.

“Just as all roads once led to Rome, so now all storms lead to the St. Law­rence Valley. And from the St. Law­rence Valley they find an easy outlet down the valleys of New Eng­land. The St. Lawrence Valley is the bottle into which storms from all sections pour, and New England is the neck of the storm bottle through which they start on a course farther south. New England has a fine natural climate but it is grossly inter­fered with by weather that has jump­ed its own reservation.” The ma- j Jor went on to say that areas of low barometer and areas of high barome­ter often selected New England in which to fight out their differences, j The cool west winds and the hot south winds meet on this common ground; ’Blizzards from Canada and warm rains from the Gulf Stream seem to regard New England as a Happy Hunting Ground. A tropical storm starts out towards the north and picks New England for its high­way; A Canadian “Norther” starts for the south and aims straight at the New England valleys. The storms meet there as in No Mans Land and . ,dispute the right of way. The cyclone ' ■» proper'ly bel0n*8-

one if the best insulators known, and silk and gu tta percha are also large­ly used for tha t purpose. The woman who puts on her rubbers, gets on the old feather bed, or uses rubber or glass tips to her chairs, is usually laughed at, but in fact she is follow-

i ing along a line of scientific pre- ! caution.” Masses of metal such as 1 stoves or rad ia tors are to be avoided : in severe storm s and of course every 1 one knows it is unsafe to seek shelter

under t rees. Here in W ashington the time of the capitol and the W ash­ington Monument are equipped with rods and although they have been struck many times no damage has re ­sulted. Powder houses or o ther places where high explosives are stored, are

! sometimes protected by an off-stand­ing wire cage th a t acts as an insula- tir, by carrying off the current. A table showing deaths by lightning throughout the United S ta tes in 1909 and several years following, showed •that in Maine there was but one death from th a t cause in 1909, 2 in 1910 and 1 each in the two following years, 40 deaths in one year is the heaviest ! record given and th a t occurred in Pennsylvania in 1911.

But whatever happens d in ’t blame ■ the New England climate for it, but i put the blame squarely on the shoul- j ders of the St. Lawrence valley where

April, 1915, the first ost-geld ami coins were issued.

In the printing of the notes, the Russian language was entirely ignor­ed. One side of the paper was written in German, and the other side in Lithuanian. The people were not yet accustomed to the German unit of currency, so the Russian unit, the rouble, was retained. In the second

F ir s t—W here a detour is to be laid out over any public way, the e x p e n s e shall be borne equally by the town in which the highway is located and the state.

Second—W here it is necessarv toissue, printed at Kovno in April, 1918, ! open a new piece of road or a tempo-

that struck the Connecticut valley something like a year ago was direct­ly traceable to one that originated in the Gulf stream region.

New England can point with pride tp the sort of weather that is hers by right of inheritance and natural cli­mate. but just so long as the unde­sirable elements frim other sections of the Country continue to use the New England valleys as a public highway, just so long must she bear the reputation of being variable and submit to Mark Twain’s comment that New England hasn’t any climate—she has only weather.

From the New England climate the talk turned to thunder storms.

“What’s the difference between a thunder storm and a thunder show­er?” queried the correspondent. “It’s a matter of intensity, not duration,” said the expert, “very violent rain, vivid lightning and heavy thunder are storms, whether they are of long or short duration, while less violent are ’ showers.” Then the major gave a ! clear description of how thunder! storms originate. He talked about tornadoes, cyjlones, or whirles as he called them. He pointed on the big chart to innumerable little lines figures and diagrams which to an expert spell in plain terms the state of the weather all over the United States, and “the why and the how” If what would next be meted out to New England. It seemed perfectly clear and simple as he explained it but the layman who tries to pass along information about convextion, water vapor, the boiling of air cur­rents and vapor evaporation is tak­ing a big chance if getting cause and effect badly mixed and before he gets through wouldn’t know whether he is coming or going.

Commenting on thunder storms and the safeguarding of life and property from lightning and major gave much valuable information and at the same time paid a tribute to the canniness of our forebears which impelled them to seek safety in feather beds when storms were at their height.

“What ».-> the best protection for buildings?” was asked. “Lightning rods” came back the answer without hesitation. Then the weatherman went on to say that a well rodded

PAPER MONEYRULES IN EUROPE

One of the s tranges t results of the I w ar was the rapid disappearanc e of i coinage from the world’s currency.

England has been very fortunate.: having los. only her gold. But on

the continent gold, silver and in many cases even copper, have disappeared from circulation.

France has paper money as low as 50 cen tim es—equal to fivepence in normal t im es—and during the years 1915-1917 actually had paper notes of 25 cen tim es’ value. Her silver ha not been withdrawn, but it is very rare. The constant moving about of British troops during the war kept it in circulation to some extent in tin1 northern parts, at any rate.

G erm any’s lowest paper note is 10 pfennig—2 cents normally. This is also the value of her highest coin. During the war her whole coinage was changed. Gold and silver were w ithdrawn and an iron coinage sub­stituted. To foster the spirit of patriotism, a standard ring was m a d e , which was worn as a sign of loyalty by all Germans tha t had surrendered any ornam ents to the state. The ring bore the words, ‘Gold gab ich fuer eisen, 1914” (Gold I gave for iron, 1914).' Today even the iron money has disappeared and the only coins left, in circulation are the 5 and 10 pfennig pieces. There is, however, one ex­ception. In Tilsit, in East Prussia, one can find 25-pfennig town coins.

As a result of this change the old laws which forbade a man to snndt coins have been repealed, and now

Lithuania was a recognized German province, and so the mark replaced the rouble on the notes. # Strange to say, Lithuania has made this mo'1 ,;y her national currency, bearing though it does the stamp, writing and signa­tures of her oppressors.

For the most curious collection of paper money one must turn to Russia. The many upheavals since the first ievolution of 1915 have placed the printing blocks in so many different hands tha t money has been turned out indiscriminately.

In fact, it needs only a little skill in engraving and printing to issue money which will find currency in one part or o ther of that vast and unsettled land.

In spite of the great changes of government, the old Czar rouble is still in circulation. Nobody knows who has the printing blocks, hut the stuff is still being printed and is alwavs welcomed bv the peasant in !I ' |

; preference to the new cu rr ien c ies , ; ; which he doevs not trust.

And in addition all the governm ents | j of Russia have made their p a p e r ;money and circulated it. Kerensky, ;

; Kolchak. Judenitch. Denekine - all had i the ir own currency. Even the a d - 1 : ven tu rer Bergmond, who, toward the

end of last year, raided tin1 Baltic | provinces, left behind a paper cur-: renev printed in German and Russia. 1

POTATO CONDITIONIN N. Y. AND SOUTH

Some improvement in local potato cemditions is about due*, says the*Produce* News. Receivers look for a turn in the marked, not late*r than ne*xt week. The*y figure* that condi­tions must get better, as tIi**y cannot g<‘t much worst*. Early in the week, the market was elemoralize*d, because**>l tin* heavy supply of stock from the*Eastern .Shore of Virginia, the Nor­folk section and the* ( ’arolinas. Re­ceivers say, however, that the Caro- linas are churning up rapidly and that as soon as th**s<> are out of the* way, th**r** should be* an improveunent in local marked, conditions.

According to local r*:ce*ive*rs. New York is about the* worst potato m ar­ket in the country at present. It is low**r now than all n**arby markeds and considerably below Western m ar­kets. As an instance*: Eastern Shore: of Virginia —early in the we*e*k, were soiling $2.75$)3 f. o. b. and the most that variety would bring her*: was $2.75, with the hulk of demand around $2.25@2.50. About the same condi­tions existed with the Norfolk pota­toes, with the exception th a t stock from that district, unless branded and graded, would not bring over $2.25.

The* great trouble* with the local market, reeedvers say, is the heavy quantity of North and South Carolina potatoes which have been received.The bulk of these potatoes are un- hranded and ungraded, and conse­quently are not in demand by the best trade, which wants potatoes on which it can depend. The s ta tem ent s made that North Carolina shippers,

. n many instances, do not grade th e ir , stock, hut face the barrels, w h ic h : na tu ra lly causes the best trade to be­come suspicious of them. W ith Caro­lina potatoes out of the way, it is be­lieved th a t the m arke t on Virginia; stock will show improvement. j

New Potatoes Earlier jAll new potatoes a re considerably i

ea r lie r than last year. According to ; those who keep in close touch with the situation, the E astern Shore of Virginia has shipped up to th is time i fully 1,000 cars more than th a t a t the |Barae time last year. This same con- j dition applies to nearly all of the o th ­e r Southern sections. Shipm ents from Norfolk are far in excess of last yearwhile the Carolines have shipped | A proaucllon , rom th« no, el pUynearly twice as many potatoes as last the same name.

are practically ready to ship now. T h e bulk of the Long Island crop, how­ever, does not come in until later,

; while* central Jersey is due to sta*!. around July 15. In this conne* tion, it is understood that rep resen ta t ives from tin* Eastern Shore* of Virginia have* be-en in N**w Je*rsey recently , asking the big shippers there to *l**Iay loading until the 2oth or 25th. in o rd e r to give* Norfolk and the* Eastern Shore an opportunity to clean up and not have: the* two crops on the m arke t ini competition with each oth**r.

Poor Stand in V irg in ia

Advice?.s from the Virginia .sections north of Onley s ta te tha t the potato crop there* will not be up to expeeta- ions. The stand was poor and in ad- elition the: drouth has cut the* crop m a­terially. Unle*ss there is some rain in this district soon, the yield will be greatly curtailed.

Speculators in Virginia potatoes, both from ( ’ape Charles and the N or­folk districts, have lost money on the re*cent. slump. Some of them paid as high as $2 a bbl., f. o. b., stood a fre-ight rate* to New York of about 80c a bbl. and then were ceimpelled to sell the potatoes around $2.50. Quite a few potatoes have* been sold f. o. b. in freight this season, but the g re a te r bulk of them have gone* to W este rn m arke ts and not the usual proportion to New York because of the unsatis­factory condition here. Bart of the trouble here, receivers say, is due to the fact tha t the old potatoes have not entirely cleaned up. As long as there is any old stock on the market it is a lmost impossible to get high prices for new.

So far, the potato deal has been only fairly profitable to the growers. At $3 f. o. b. there is a little money for Virginia growers, but any th ing less than th is means a loss. If .the m arke t continues a t any where near its present level, the growers may come out about even, which will be satisfactory to a great many of them.
