WEEKLY SUMMARY OF CROP CONDITIONSAlmost incessant and in many sec­

tions, heavy, rains prevailed during the greater part of the week. Many low land fields were flooded and plants were washed out of the ground in many localities. Plant growth was considerably promoted by the moisture and a number of backward crops made a rapid approach to normal develop­ment for the season. Weeds have been making undue growth and all farm work has been considerably de­layed. Considerable damage to plant life has resulted from the rains but it is impossible to estimate the extent at -this time.

PlapUng of white potatoes has been finished in all areas. Weather condi­tions have greatly promoted growth

ol late and the crop is now nearly as far advanced as at this time last year. Work in the fields has been delayed by rain in all sections and in Aroos­took county many fields have not been buried yet. In this section of Massa­chusetts some low land seeding have been drowned out and there has been more or less rotting of seed on high land. Extent of damage cannot he yet told. In other States prospects are good as a rule.

All hay crops have made heavy growth of late. Some lodging is re­ported from a few localities. Grasses are very sappy and will need care in j harvesting. First cutting of clover 1 has gone into the barns in good condi­tion in southern areas. Old meadows | and pastures, injured by drought in the fall, have revived wonderfully of late'.; ' I

Broprietor George Russell of Cres­cent Bark has some excellent orches­tras which will furnish music for dances at the popular resort in the near future. The famous Rainbo orchestra from Boston which was scheduled to play here some time ago hut was forced to forego their trip will positively make their dehut at the Lake Wednesday evening, June 28. Jack Reid’s Harmony Hounds, an aggregation of college musicians, will furnish the music for the nights ol' the fourth and fifth of July during the big celebration at Houlton. On Satur­day evening. July eighth, Sam’s Bos­ton Syncopaters, a music conservatory orchestra of seven pieces, will make their debut at the Lake. All young with music as their life work they have a reputation for snappy music. A uniform costume of pure -white adds greatly to the attractiveness of their appearance.

AROOSTOOK POTATO GROWERS ASSOCIATIONIt lias been estimated in other or­

ganizations that about 33 1-3 percent of the freight hills have either been overcharged or undercharged. The reasons for these variations are many. It requires an expert to quote lowest legal rates. It requires considerable time and study before one can under­stand tariffs and usually when one does become proficient, some concern hires him away from the railroad. Again, we must take into considera­tion the. various increases and de­creases and the way the rates are made by locals, combination, through rates, class rates, commodity rates, etc.

Under the rulings of the Interstate Commerce Commission the Railroads are obliged to collect the legal rate as published in tariffs lawfully on file. They have no desire to collect

rates in excess of the published rate and each of us has the privilege of filing a claim and obtaining refund in ease of overcharge.

Will you therefore, kindly gather all of your old freight bills for the past six years and send them to this office where we will have them check­ed over, claims filed and overcharges refunded.

We also are filing claims for loss.We keep all records, correspondence

under your separate folder and when claim is paid the check is made out to you direct because under the con­ference rulings of the Commission, the railroads can only make refund to the parties shown on the transportation record.

This bulletin is for your own inter­est and it is hoped each one will take advantage.

It may give* a motorist a sense of exhilaration to astonish tlu* native's by dashing through their town at sixty miles an hour, hut it certainly is a poor contribution to the* move­ment for better highways. Laying aside the question of damage to tin* roads, dwellers in small places have children whose lives are as precious to them as are the lives of city children, and if they arc* forced to m a k e choke between good roads and safety for their children they are very likely to choose the lesser of two evils and let the roads go to pot.

Of the many thousands of residents din who own cars and use them to drive ago into the surrounding country it is probable that the heedless and reck­less are in a very small minority, but the law-abiding and considerate ma-

know all that is worth knowing and they look with contempt at the pru­dent caution of their elders.

Tin* young people of l’11 years of ;ig > today are much more advanced than their fathers ;md mothers wen' tit tic same age. They have seen nnuv of the woidd, know more* of its good and evil, frequently have tasted too much of its fast life for their own benefit. Whether this is a condition tending toward advance or retrogression would be hard to save

This spirit indicates nice power to do things, whether lor good or for evil. It will result in blunders, many serious and tragic mistakes. Tiles ■ self confident young people feel a new sense of power and are anxiuii- to try their wings, ami if many fall into difficulties, many others will ac­complish some remarkable flights at tin early age.

The question as to how soon young people should be independent of their parents, and when they should be* at liberty to strike out for themselves without interlereiuv, is a difficult problem. Many parents weakly yield when they should manifest firm authority. Seme, however, who have trustworthy children that could be allowed to do it restrain.

WILLINGNESS TO WORKTile modern young people have

keynote of young people I’d years was indolence. Aimless loafing

took a lot of their time. The typical boy spent many hours standing on curbstones watching the people go by and exchanging cheap talk with other

EDITORIAL COMMENTFARMER TROUBLES IN

CANADIAN NORTHWESTBy no means all tin* farming trou­

ble's tart* confin'd to this section, though there tare enough of them here to try tin1 fortitude and courtage for which Aroostook Coainty tillers of the soil tare widely noted. Here we have potato bugs, though the bugs, under modi'i'U methods of treating them, are not considered formidable enemies. A far worse enemy of the farmer is tin* potato blight. That is difficult and uncertain of control, and under spa'cial seasonal conditions, may damage, if not almost entirely ruin tlia* crop. But aside from the potato blight the Aroostook' farnm” does rot take* many chances in getting to normal crop.

Aroostook soil is of such a charac­ter that in a very wet season it is drained of over-moisture, aid in sea­sons of lack of moisture the drought hum he long continued and extremely severe to seriously damage the pota­to crop. If tin1 sections of the West which have lately gone largely into potato growing, were as sure of a crop as Aroostook is, and could pro­duce as many bushels to the acre, the competition from that quatter would he so formidable that Arois- look would have to relire from pota­to raising am! surrender tie- industry to tin- West. But the potato-raisingWest has a far larger percentage of potato crop failures than has Aro >s- tnnk. and during tic past twenty-live .vears the so-called banner years we have enjoyed have been when there was a shortage in the country owing tc failures in other potato growing sections, and consumers have to trim to Aroostook for their supply. For this reason Aroostook deserves s e- eial consideration, in that it is tin- oil!' section of the wholi' country which is reasonably sun', cadi and every year of a full crop of potatoes.

The West lias more farmer enemies than we have, and they make more serious inroads upon tic crops. T i m extreme Northwest is ju-1 now af­fording tin illustration in point. On; there millions upon millions of gra.-s- hoppers have swooped down upon the farms in some sictions and stripped the surface of the growing fields of (•very green thing. As the report puts it, where the scourge is thickest, the whole ground seems to he a moving mass." In trying to tight this enemy the farmers haul out hundreds of loads of straw, spread it over tlm ground within tin* infested area, and set it on fire, hoping in this way to exterminate the pests. Aroostook farmers may have many troubles, Inr they are spared the grasshopper , scourge and many otlmr evils that af­flict t lie West. - St a r-Hera Id.

had its defects. Nobody will deny that. But it also had its good points and one of them was that it prevent­ed th(* injection into every political campaign of a type of man who is not qualified either by temperament, train­ing or education for holding any kind of a public office from dog catcher up to President.

Under the direct primary system such men are at liberty to put them­selves before the people whenever they please and, of necessity, their claims must he given consideration and they succeed in securing what they most desire, the advertising, the notoriety, the momentary attention which is meat to their vanity and halm to their souls.

We cannot conceive of such men obtruding themselves as candidates for high and important offices under flic old convention system of select­ing candidates. They may hope to, and they often do. fool the unsophisti­cated, and tlm unthinking in the di­rect primaries but they would never dream of obtruding themselves upon the type of men most communities would select as their representatives to a nominating convention.

Viewed from the distance, and measured by tin* honeyed words wliii h flow so smoothly from their oily tongues, these primary candidates da succeed, oftentimes, in winning the earnest support of the few who measure men by their words, and m-t by tln-ir deeds. But we cannot con­ceive of such men having tlm effront­ery of standing before a convention of representative citizens and being < colly surveyed as to their real quali­fications for high office. Before such serutinv tlmv would wither avvav and

could not muster in their support even a corporal's guard to support their pretensions.

A nation will never lx*come great if it lias to rely upon men of such caliber to shape its destinies. A state can never hope* to solve its problems of such vital concern to its people with men of such qualifications to deter­mine its policies. Occasionally some of them get into office and do an infinite amount of harm but the most of them fortunately fall by the way- side*. The common sense of the peo­ple sometimes eliminates them. Hav­ing failed of their objective, but with their vanity flattered by having for a time been bathed in the limelight, they retire with their doubtful honors, having for a time stood on the pin­nacle where the eyes of their fellows wen* focused upon them—Portland Press-Herald.

POTATO SUMMARY OFSEASON 1921-1922

The season of 1921-1922 saw the yield and carlot shipment records broken for Aroostook ('onnty as well as for the State of Maine, but it was a very unsatisfactory one from a finan­cial standpoint for tin* growers and dealers. Several factors contributed

I to this but the main one was the general economic conditions through-

Wellesley Hills, .Mass.. .June f t p —With the news full of st tikes, threatened strikes and labor unrest, liu^ r W. Mali­son, statistician today issued the follow­ing statement regarding general indus­trial situation--

•'For som*‘ tilin'," said .Mr. Malison, "business in the Hast lias been reviving. Were it not for tin* textile and other strikes in New Hampshire, Massachusetts and lthode Island, business conditions in New England. New Vork State, andPennsylvania would be very pood today. During the past year, the Central West has been the weakest spot in the busi­ness situation. Tile abrupt drop in the price of grains, live stock, and other farm products left the acrieultura!sections of our country in a very had condition. You will remember the Pami­rs’ Conference at Washington and vari­ous forms of aid enacted by Congress and different state legislatures.

"The rise in agricultural produ -ts, however, which occurred a few months ago, accompanied by the good weather conditions of the past few weeks, has made the farmers feel very much better. Reports which I am receiving from cor- resjMindents in the west are truly en­couraging. This applies nd only to th • agricultural districts but also to the mining and lumber business. Keen the automobile industry, which is su-h a factor throughoi.t < >hio and Indiana, is leeling much more encouraged. » 'f course, the union eoal tields are quiet, but the non-union tields are more active each week. The cut in freight rates should help the coal and lumber busi­ness. The demand for cotton continue- strong atid the South is gradually feel­ing better. 'Phis better feeling through­out the West and South is reflected by the improvement in the business of the mail order houses. The customers of the mail order houses are largely in the rural districts. This shows that the farmers have again begun to buy. Tits is very gratifying and is one of the rea­sons for th" continued strong stock market.

"(•wing t o the change in the f .reign trade situation and the scale of foreign bonds in this country, sterling exchange is much stronger. Although it may he only a temporary m >vement, the \vh d • foreign situation looks better than it h is looked for some time. Private advi es tell me that a settlement is being ap­proached between tJermany, England and France, regarding the Herman repara­tions. If this is s<«, it should he distinct impetus to business, both by eau-ing Kurope t o buy from this country ami giving this country confidence to loan Kurope. Although no change has tak-’i place in the Russian situation during the past week, yet signs even in Russia are

Theymay he ended by the mill owners secur­ing other employees f rom the countrydistricts, who have never before worked in the mills, and by the old mill workers ge tt ing positions in other lines of a c t i v i ­ty. The strike s developing largely into a swapping of jobs. So far as the general wel fare of the cu i n t t y is concerned, this is as sat is factory as to have the strikers go hack.

ii. Ship­ments started earlier than usual and continued heavy throughout the ship­ping season. Daily carlot shipment records were also broken during the tall, the total per day at one time for the entire country reaching the high mark of 2.21 *> ears on October 12. I’ecause of financial conditions in certain producing sections the pota­toes wore rushed to the markets dur­ing the early part of the season. This "Xtra heavy movement was fairly well taken care of hy the shortage in the consuming states and hy being stored in terminal markets, without tiny noticeable drop in prices. The grow­ers mu! shippers of .Maine had a tendency to hold for higher prices and although the potatoes from Maine moved out in heavier volume than in previous seasons, a large part of the stock was held until after the holi­days. i

The information contained in summary is prepared from data lished in the daily marker report white potatoes as issued from

a glance, and this summary is pre­sented in order that it will be con­venient for ready reference.

1921 Acreage, Crop Conditions and Yield

The acreage for Aroomeok County in 1921 was placed at inn.o hi acres as against 87,200 in 1920. The total acreage for the state was placed at 129,dim acres as compared with 122 mu) acres in 1920 and lll.inid acres in Dll9.

The crop season for 1921 was very dry during the early part of the sea­son and at the time the potatoes were "setting." This limited the number ol tubers per hill but the rain which came in time to ho of benefit resulted in much overgrown stock and con­siderable "hollow heart," e.-p< chilly in the Cobblers. Except for the larg" coarse stock and tin- hollow ’near!, i!n> quality was good. The loss from rats.

Justice Forbes were features of the program enjoyed hy hundreds of members of the Pine Tree State Association at Sycamore Grove, Cali­fornia. The baked beans and syrup were on the menu, not on the speak­ing program, which accounted for the fact that most of the speakers were literally too full for words.

Following Justice Forbes's address on “Why I Left Maine and Came to

Southern California,” H. C. Parsons, secretary of the Federation of State Societies, who has a reputation for being able to speak even when he can't eat. made one of his customary witty addresses.

"The members of all the State societies think they come from the main State in the Union. Imt the Pine Tree Staters know they came from the Maine State,” said Mr. Parsons.

Then the frogs on the edge of the fountain and on the banks of the stream in Arroyo Seeo, leaped into the limpid waters, frightened by the thunder of applause.

Copy of Resolutions adopted by Houlton Grange, Saturday, June 24, 1922

Whereas, the Interstate Commcrc- ( ’ommission has recently rendered a decision against the proposed East­ern Maine Railroad and the Matta- wamkeag Rranch. thereby preventing their construction;

Be it resolved -That the Houlton Grange with over

eleven hundred members protests such decision as being absolutely unfair to Aroostook Bounty and Eastern Maine, leaving us as it does at the tender mercies of the B. and A. R. R.

We believe such decision was ren­dered on Incomplete and biased in­formation, furnished hugely by paid representatives of competing lines, and we call on our Senators and Re­presentatives in Washington to de­mand a rehearing on this matter, so that there may lx? an opportunity given for full information as to the needs of the section to he served by such railroad lines, believing that such a rehearing can only result in a reversal of the decision recently given.

Be it further resolved, that a copy of the resolutions lie sent to our Sena­tors anti our Representatives in Con­gress and a copy be given the Press.

FINANCING OURFUTURE HIGHWAYS

The State Highway Commission Wednesday received a communication from Thomas H. MacDonald, chief of the Bureau of Public Roads, United States Department of Agriculture, in which he says that now is the time to plan the financing of highways for the future and place highway transporta­tion, which has conn* to he an indis­pensable part of our national lift*, on a firm foundation.

"\Ye are starting out to construct a system of highways such as no nation ever constructed before", continues Mr. MacDonald.

"Tilt* nearest approach to it is found in France and Germany, ami the area of neither is as large as Texas. This great undertaking is being entered into because highways arc not a lux­ury hut furnish a real service, have a real earning capacity, and have be­come a national necessity.

"For stub an undertaking to he successful, financing to care for main­tenance, reconstruction and new con­struction should he planned for ;*. long period of years in advance. Changes in methods of raising funds every few years, uncertainty as to whether funds will he* provided, and periods in which funds are not provided all increase the final cost of highways. Such a policy would soon bring any private business to disaster.

"Development and increase in num­ber of motor vehicles and the coin­cident need and demand for good roads have come so rapidly that met­hods of raising funds have often been expedients for the time being. Con­sideration lias been given not so much to the just distribution of tile cost as to how the funds can be raised with the least contrversy and tin* utmost ease. Then, too, the use made of the highways and tin* service rendered by them lias changed greatly within tin* last few years.

“All this leads to the conclusion that tin* whole situation should he gone over very carefully, traffic studies made, and the cost distributed in pro­portion to the service rendered.

"Tile Bureau of Public Roads esti­mates that of the $600,ui)t),uui) spent for highways last year 55 per cent was Federal aid and motor-vehicle revenue. The remaining 67 per cent comes

the White Rose variety has proven the best under warm climatic condi­tions. In spite of the fact that the British Queen or what is sometimes called the “Purple Blossom White Rose,” has almost always proven a failure in interior valleys and other places where similar conditions pre­vail, there are a few people who were not aware of this fact and planted this variety last Spring. A number of these fields will not be worth har­vesting and hardly any of them will produce profitable crops. This vari­ety, however, does well when planted along the Coast or for Winter crops under practically frostless conditions.

DIVERS IN QUESTOF JESUIT GOLD

Caught by the lure of sunken treasure, divers worked feverishly in the murky waters of the river Wye, Ontario, about an ancient chest sunk deep in the mud. They hope to raise it.

Tin* chest contains—they hope- treasure lost nearly three centuries ago by a hand of Jesuit missionaries to Huronia. If it proves to he tin1 J* suit fathers’ long-lost chest, dropped over- hoard in 1(150 while being carried by canoe to Fort Saint*1 Marie, the order will be enriched by recovery of a set of solid gold altar candel’nra, present­ed to the mission by the Court of France, ami a quantity of French gold coin brought over to pay the troops who accompanied the missionaries to the new world.

Although tradition long has had it that the seventh box was buried under tin* waters of tin* Wye, no serious at­tempt was made to recover it until a few days ago. This search was stimu­lated by the recollection of a story told hv a raftsman some :in years ago that he had touched the box when pol­ling logs. The story recently was told to Diver ( ’apt. Carson and lie inter­ested Edward Jeffery of Midland, who had invented a peculiar magnetic diving rod, which had proved success­ful in showing ore and mineral de­posits.

The two rowed about the river, until at length the needles of tin* divining rod showed a strong reaction to tin* influence of gold.

The place in the river was charted and subsequently the position and measurements of the chest were con­firmed by steel rods. Its dimensions corrspond exactly to the one lost by the Jesuit fathers when Fort Saint**

Marie was in the making.It is not only the recovery of price­

less relics which is at stake, however, for Jeffery has staked on the quest the reputation of his magnetic instrument which lie says can detect oil, gold, cop­per or iron within 25 miles.

The diviner is about four feet long, with a barrel like a machine gun and a compartment at the end for the in­struments, with holes for the arms which pass inside through thick rub­ber tubing, tarred cloth insulat inj

That is perhaps a feeble fig­ure, for at times there was an almost volcanic eruption with all the damage that it involves. It probably was in­evitable that such should he the ease at the first coming together of ele­ments so discordant.

ing influence at the Genoa conference will not save her from utter ruin.

As it turned out, there was little in the Genoa gathering to make parti­cipation in it attractive to the United States. Had American delegates been in attendance they might have brought out of the confusion benefits more tangible than now appear. But the Hague conference should assemble in a chastened spirit and bend itself ra­tionally to solving Europe's pressing material problems. American partici­pation at The Hague might be more* useful than it would have been at Genoa. Nevertheless it is well enough to require Europe to put its affairs in order unaided from the outside, if that is possible.

Should The Hague conference also not prove a complete success, yet the conferences of the European nations should be kept up until the right re­sults are obtained. The international discussions will enlighten the peoples of Europe and increase their under­standing of each other. Out of clear­er knowledge of the needs, difficulties, powers and wishes of the respective countries should grow the spirit of compromise, the give and take which will make for wist* adjustments. And this will mean a new and better day for Europe and for the remainder of the globe.

Help you Choose Tires500 miles at 94.48 miles an hour—a relentless grind

over a rough-finished, sun-baked concrete and brick pavement at record-breaking speed—that is the gruelling test Oldfield Cord Tires underwent successfully at Indian­apolis Speedway May 30th. They were on the winner’s car for the third successive year and on eight of the ten finishing in the money, upholding the confidence success­ful race drivers have in the trustworthiness and ability of these tires to meet the greatest demands of speed, endur­ance and safety. Their records in every other important race have been equally as good.

Consider this achievement along with another test of Oldfield quality made at Wichita, Kansas, this past winter and earlv spring.

34,525 miles on rutted, icy Kansas roads, running dav and night on a Studebaker stock car without a single tire change. This test was made by a group of Wichita auto­motive dealers in a tire, oil and gasoline economy run. Mayor Kemp of Wichita was official observer and mace affidavit to the mileage and service given by Oldfield tires.

You may never subject your tires to the gruelling experience ot Indianapolis nor the steady grind of bad winter roads, but it is good to know you can get such safety and mileage economy by buying Oldfield tires. Ask your nearest dealer.

AC CAIDDAMIfQ AND the 190s Havanas—while the ladies DOUGLAd l - A I K B A N M AFIU kept a tray ot* luscious chocolates in

MARY PICKFORD AT HOME(Story of a visit to the home of Certainly it was an ideal way to see

these celebrities as related by Karl K. motion pictures—sunk deep in a huge Kitchen in the Literary Digest.) easy-ciiair. after a perfect dinner

We sat down, six at the table—Mary (minus the cocktail) and with a long at the head of the festive board, with black Havana of a vintage year. Douglas on her left; Mr. and Mrs. When the reel was finished and the Frank Case, “ the gentleman with the lights were turned on, half a dozen typewriter” and ins accompanist. other people had appeared in (hairs

It was Saturday night at the Beverly 0n the steps behind the small, select Hills home of Mr. and Mrs. Douglas audience. Mr. Kitchen relates: Fairbanks, where we had arrived to “They’re our servants." Mary in­spend the week-end with the famous formed me. “We always have them film stars. But it was in no sense a | come in after dinner to watch the festive occasion. In fact, it was after pictures.”seven o’clock before all of us left the “And you mean to say that every studio, and no one was drest. We night you have a picture show?” 1 didn't even begin the meal with a asked, for the idea of witnessing a cocktail, for while the Fairbanks- movie performance every night in the Plckford menage is perfectly appoint- week seemed too muc h of a good ed in every respect, cocktails are thing.rarely served. Doug insists that even the rarest champagne tastes like citrate of magnesia—so. what’s the use?

There was a printed menu of the dinner in front of Mary’s plate and the meal was perfectly' served by a French butler and a second man; but its formality ended there. Before the first course was served Doug got up to start the phonograph, and he left the table again when the dessert arrived to find a box of vintage cigars.

Despite the spaciousness of the din­ing-room, with its beamed ceiling, rich rugs and massive furniture, the atmo­sphere of the dinner was decidedly intimate and homelike. Shop talk was dropped when we left the studio, and the conversation, which was general, never once turned to the gelatine side of their existence. Mary, in a simple semi-evening frock which she had

i “ Every night," answered Doug, who ' had made himself comfortable on the couch beside his wife. “ You see we

I hardly ever go into Los Angeles. It ’s no pleasure going to the theaters there because of the crowds and, be­sides. we have all the new pictures sent up here where we can enjoy them in comfort. Would you believe it?" he went on. “ that I’ve never been to any of the places in Hollywood and Los Angeles that the newspapers write about? Why, Mary and I have only been to the Ambassador Hotel once since it was built. We spend prac­tically all our evenings at home. And we’re usually in bed at 11 o’c lock.

The darkening of the room for the next picture a travel film- put an end to the conversation for a moment.

“Travel pictures are the best part of a movie show as far as 1 am con­cerned." I said, forgetting for the

hastily donned on our arrival, discus-, moment that I was the guest of tin* sed her shopping expedition to Los Angeles which she had made that morning, while Douglas argued with Frank Case, a New York hotel pro­prietor and brother Lamb, on merits of the plan for making the Grand Canyon a national receptacle tor

two most famous stars of the feature films.

"That’s what I enjoy most, too,” agreed Mary, adding, "but Douglas likes comedy pictures.”

Following another brief interval, during which more bonobns were

safety-razor blades that have outlived ; passed around, a comedy picture wa>their usefulness, in short, the meal was like any one of a thousand others served in well-appointed American homes. No one ventured any par­ticularly witty remark, but that did not prevent every one from laughing at the banalities that wen* uttered. And as every one had an appetite, the dinner was an unquestioned suc­cess.

As the guest of honor I was seated at Mary’s right, and we had quite a little heart-to-heart talk on the subject of marriage—strictly between our-; selves. She confided to me that in the two years or more that she had i

shown. But it was the uufunniest of alleged funny pictures and wt* all breathed a sigh of relief when the* star feature of the (‘veiling, a now Goldwyn picture, was begun. However, it turned out to lie even stupider and duller than the alleged comedy, and in tht* midst of one of its most tragic scenes Mary nudged me to look at her husband. He was sound asleep on the couch, snoring rhythmically, if not exactly musically.

“ I think we’ve had enough. Cheva­lier." Mary called to the operator, and when the lights were switched on Doug awoke with a start.

“ Pardon me," he said. “ I must havebeen married to Douglas Fairbanks, she had dined only three times with- i been dreaming."out him. j “ Snoring you mean.” corrected

"And on two of those occasions1 Mary. “ But I don’t blame you, Doug- Douglas joined me shortly after din- his. It was an awful picture.” ner,” she added proudly. ' “ That’s why the picture business

From the admiring glance she gave has been so bad of late—the pictures she made this !her actor-husband as

confession, it was obvious that their two years of married life have not spoiled their romance. If Mary Pick- ford is not head over heels in love with Douglas Fairbanks, then she is a far greater actress off the screen than , she is on it. I have observed many young married couples, but I have never seen such unmistakable devo­tion as this famous married pair lavish on each other. They literally hang on each other’s words—even the most i trivial matters are referred to each other’s opinions. In fact, they still act as though they were on their honeymoon.

When Douglas, as Mary always calls him, returned to tin* table with ' the cigars, which lie had the butler pass around with all the dignity due u 1908 Havana, the movies were mentioned for the first time.

“There were only two boxes of these cigars in tin* humidor of a big New York importing house*.” explain­ed Fairbanks. “ And it was only be­cause* ‘The Three Musketeers’ was the favorite book of tin* proprietor that he consented to part with one of them. Knowing my love for tin* character of d’Artagnan. he made me a present ot the entire box."

“ I don't sec* how any one can smoke them—they're so long and black." said Mary. And I b» li**\e Doug would have endeavored to justify ^is fond­ness for the rare weeds if the butler had not asked our hostess whether lie should serve coffee in the drawing­room or at the table.

“ We’ll have coffee in the other room and see* the pictures," said Mary simply. And, suiting the action to the word, we moved into tin* huge living-room, which had been trans­formed into a private picture treater for the occasion. A full-size* screen covered the middle of the wall at one end of the room, while the couches and easy chairs were* arranged in two rows at the other end. On the steps leading to this improvised playhouse were other chairs, and what I had supposed to be a blank wall covered with tapestry was a full-size projec­tion box. In short, here* was a com­plete motion-picture* theater, and while the coffee was served Mary explained that every evening after dinm-r the y

had a show.“ What’s the program tonight, Cheva­

lier?" Doug asked the operator, who handed him a printed slip on which were the names of a feature* him, a comedy picture*, together with the* latest news reels anil educational pictures.

“ Let's have the news reels first," said Mary, and a moment later- w** had hardly taken our seats the big room was plunged into darkness an 1 pictures of various events from all over the world were thrown on the screen. Doug. Frank Case and I smoked in silence—out of respect to

have been too awful for words," interrupted Frank Case. “ Isn’t it past bedtime?" In* added, changing the conversation without warning.

“ It’s after '*levt>n,” replied Doug. "We keep early hours here," In* ex­plained for my benefit, passing me an apple.

"How’ll you like* a glass of fresh laid milk?” In* asked as we said the usual "good-nights." " I ’m sorry 1 haven't any Scotch to offer you."

It was not surprizing that every one slept late. Mary and Doug had put in a strenuous week on tle*ir new pictures. And I had long since re­signed myself to the fact that for a New Yorker there is nothing else to do in Southern California but sleep, So it was nearly ten o'clock when I emerged into the bright sunshine the urn* sunshiny day in a month's stay to explore the grounds of their Bever­ly Hills estate.

As I walked over to tin* swimming- pool, a few hundred feet from the house, 1 heard a whistle f r o m an up­stairs window, and a l'e ,v m o m e n t ,

later, redolent of tooth paste and freshly talcumed. Doug joined nm on the lawn.

"Isn’t it wonderful out here in th e !

hills?" lie asked. “ Look over there ,

you can see the Pacific Ocean. ThF is the only phme to really live," he went on. taking deep breaths and apostrophizing the sum And for a moment I shared his enthusiasm, but the announcement that breakfast wa- ready turned my attention to nine important things.

Doug and I began our meal alone in the sunny breakfast-room, but lie- fort* we had two helpings of takes, Frank Case joined us and when we were ready to eat a third breakfast, Mary looked in on us.

It was a jolly breakfast party that is. if any morning meal can be described as jolly. We talked of everything from seedless oranges to

the horrors of Hollywood, and after discussing what would he tin* most amusing way to spend the day, we decided to omit luncheon and motor over to the studio.

"Charlie’ll be over tonight and we'll have some laughs," Doug announced, as lit* calk'd for the car. “ Do you want to go over to the studio with me?" -In* asked Mary, who merely answered that sin* would be ready in a minute.

And so we all bundled off for tin* Fairbanks-Fiekford studio in Holly­wood to see if everything was as we had left it the night before.

When it is explained that .Mary is building a bungalow on the "lot" and Doug is having a Turkish bath con­structed on his athletic field-in addi­tion to their respective “sets"- their anxiety to visit their studio on Sun­day may be understood. And it was surprising how much activity we en­countered there. When a studio is in tin* throes of picture-making--especi­ally a big picture like the next Fair­banks superb movie Sunday is al­most like any other day. In fact, it was almost seven o’clock before we were back at Beverly Hills for dinner. Charlie Chaplin had joint'd us at the studio and lie returned with us to spend a quiet evening with Mary and Doug.

Our dinner Sunday evening was a little livelier than the night before for Charlie loves to talk and lie monopolized most of the conversa­tion. Doug and Mary didn’t agree with him on anything, but that only made it more interest ing.

"Charlie, you’re a ‘nut.’ " Mary re­peated after each oratorical oitburst on the part of the famous eomdeian At which Charlie would make a funny face that would set us all in roars oi laughter.

Before the inevitable picture show Charlie suggested that we have live- minute speeches oil subjects selected at random from a hat the favorite indoor sport of this famous film trio. We all wrote subjects on slips of paper which we dropped in nm* of Doug's derbies and which we drew out later after they had been thorough­ly mixed up. As luck would have it Charlie drew the slip on which I had written tie* word “ warts," and In* stood u]i and for five minutes made a brilliant after-dinner speech on that important subject.

"Charlie can talk on any subject," Mary explained to me, for 1 was again on her right. "The other evening lm made a speech on Socialism to our five dogs and he kept right on talking for three hours, although three of the animals walked out on him."

It would have been more enjoyable to have remained at the dinner-table, but the picture show was announced and before we finished our coffee it was under way.

1 am unable to describe it very fully, as I went to sleep, and shortly before eleven o’clock when Charlie took his departure, he admitted that he had slept through most of theprogram.

MAINE MAKING CHEESE AGAIN1 HAS NEW BAD CHECK LAWThe state department of agriculture Law' No. 3845, of the Republic of

is co-operating in a movement which Chile, which went into effect on may prove to be the beginning of the [ March 24, says Consul Brett, Iquique, revival of an almost forgotten in­dustry, that of cheese making in Maine.

Tin* farmers of Monroe and Winter- port, in Waldo county, becoming dis­satisfied with their present facilities for marketing milk, have organized tin* Monroe Cheese Company, under the direction of two of their number, ex-Senator Charles M. Conant and C. C Clement.

Expert Secured

Being unable to secure professional advice in tin* carrying out of tin* project, an appeal wis made to the department, and as a result the servile of H. J. Connor of St. Albans, Vt.. were secured. .Mr. Connor has had a life-time experience in tin* manu­facture of cheese and butter and has been abb* to render the new company much valuable assistance, the ex­penses of his visit being paid by the department.

Commissioner of Agriculture Frank F. Washburn and Chief Charles M. White of the division of markets visit­ed Monroe and were much pleased with tin* progress made. They re­port that, notwithstanding tin* fact that the project was only started very recently, they found the building in readiness and up-to-date machinery installed, while in the upper story were a number of large tables on which were neatly arrayed some lad cheeses in tin* progress of ripening. The product being turned out at present is what is known as a full- cream cheese, made ftom milk which tests over 1 per cent on the average. Most satisfactory results have been obtained, so far each nine pounds of milk producing a pound of cheese. Fifty natrons an* already delivering their milk daily at the factory.

“ We hope this may lead to other communities of farmers to interest themselves in a similar move," said Commissioner Washburn, "and also that our Maim* dealers and buyers of cheese will see what this new concern has to offer before ordering from out of t he state."

in a report to the Department of Com­merce, makes the passing of a check drawn against a bank in which the drawer has no funds a criminal offence, but it also contains several other provisions in regard to checks.

It provides that where the words “or order" and “or bearer" are both erased the ( heck may be paid only to the payee in person, it following that checks so written not subject to in­dorsement. A distinction is made between ordinary or “ payment” checks and “ sent" checks. The latter are those in which the words “ for me" are included, as “Pay to John Doe for me

100 pesos,” thus making it clear that the payee is acting only as a mes­senger for the drawer.

An important provision of the law is that giving legal force and effect to the crossing of checks. A check is crossed by having two parallel lines drawn across its face, after which it may not be paid by cash across tin* counter in any bank but can only In* accepted for collection or deposit from some person having a bank account. (Tossed checks may be indorsed from one person to another in the usual manner, and any indorser has tin- right to cross a check; bu. these marks, once placed, can not legally be erased nor can their effect be dis­regarded. The system provides almost complete security against the unlaw­ful cashing of lost or stolen checks.

HOME-MADE HOOCHIS MOST DEADLY

By William Preble Jones Probation Officer

Samuel G. Blythe is right. As his articles will show, home-made hooch cannot be produced with any degree of safety, and bootleggers’ wiskey. may prove the deadliest poison on earth . The drinker takes the risk, A I couple of recent instances by way of illustration: j

Two weeks ago, a young man, 40 years old, was placed on probation in <he Somerville court for drunkenness, young in appearance, but old in exper­ience. It was his 62d arrest in 20 years; nearly always for drunkenness. He held the local championship in this respect.

Twenty times he had been sent to the state farm, besides serving sen­tences in the house of correction, the Massachusetts Reformatory and other institutions. This time the judge thou­ght to try probation.

Tall, thin and healthy, he never looked the part of the old-time drunk-

^ ard. Whether galvanized-iron or por- * celain lined, his internal plumbing ap­

peared to be perfect. He could drink #anything with impunity. Moonshine, raw alcohol or any other kind of ret- Jfut, it was all the same to him.

One peculiar failing, however, may have been his salvation: it didn’t take a very great quantity of booze to make him drunk. Then, becoming fresh or quarrelsome, he was soon ar­rested and quickly sobered off. Had his storage capacity been greater, he might not have lived so long.

For years he was king of the “ink” drinkers. In the days before prohibi­tion, buying and selling second-hand whiskey barrels was his business—a very agreeable occupation from his point of view.

The recipe for “ink" is simple enough. Pour a teakettle of boiling water into an empty whiskey barrel, replace the bung, roll the barrel a- round a few times and drain off the contents.

The product which flowed from the charred interior of the oaken cask, consisting of water, charcoal, alcohol, fusel oil, etc, was delectable potion to those who liked it. Compared to the barbed wire and copper tacks of the modren hooch, it was as mild as rain water. It simply shows, however, what men like our friend will drink when pursued by their appetite.

But getting back to the point. This genial gentleman, with (52 arrests to his credit and the cast-iron insides, reported to the probation officer one night last week, apparently in good condition.

“No more of this moonshine for me! ” he declared with evident seriousness.- I t ’s rank stuff. I’m on the water wagon for keeps now.”

Same old bunk! We've heard it before so often that our replies about the pitcher that goes to the well are uttered with ritualistic formality. Nevertheless, these promises made

during moments of sobriety ring true 'They sound well and fill us with hope.

Next day our friend had a few more •drinks. At 10 o’clock at night an I ambulance rushed him to the hospital In 45 minutes more he was dead.

‘‘Alcohol,” said the medical exam­iner by way of explaination. And then he added: “Some of that dam­nable hooch!”

was transferred to the Relief station, where his stomach was pumped out. Then they carried him back to the po­lice station, and in two hours he was dead. Wood alcohol, the daily papers said, was the cause.

Tims our old-time drunks are cash­ing in. Stomach linings, formerly im­pervious to almost any kind or quan-

I tity of alcoholic poison, are now sud- I denly giving out, and the happy-go- I lucky owners are sleeping their last I long sleep.\ One of my regulars, who has often tempted providence almost to the breaking point, got the big scare of his life recently from drinking wood alcohol. He begged to be sent to the State Farm, but we got him fixed up and sent him home. He is now on probation and busily working at his trade, carving inscriptions on grave­stones at the Forest Hill cemetery, and occasionally wondering, he says, when his own grave will be filled.

MAINE WAKING UPThat the State of Maine has

even held its own for the past years can be seen from the fact the total increase I fill) to 192i> was

not ten

thatin population from 25.(j4.”». or per

cent., while the increase in Portland- South Portland, Auburn-Lewiston , Saco-Biddeford and Path was 2ii.4*!7, or S2 1 more than the total for tin* State.

The valuation of property for tax­ing purposes increased during the same 10 years $ 1 2A.:> 14 or 41 per­cent.

The rural population in nearly every i county in the State decreased. The above shows a very unhealthy condi-

| tion of affairs.If it is true that Maine possesses

wonderful soil, climate, scenery, water i powers, forests, etc., why are we not progressing instead of going hack ? Have we an}- definite reliable in­formation of what we have, where it is and how we tire handling it? Are we capable of handling it better?

The State Chamber of Commerce and Agricultural League believes that we have a wonderful State, that wa­it re capable of handling it well, al­though we are not at present doing so.In the hope of obtaining correct in­formation, the State Chamber is ask­ing the local Chambers to make a survey of their locality--agricultural­ly, industrially, tourist, fisheries, forests, etc. The pla l is to do this

: by counties, asking the organizations i in each county to arrange with repre­sentatives of every town in their county. Filiform information blanks will be prepared.

There will be possibilities for in creasing business in e\ery part of the J State through the State Pier. Coast­wise and Trans-Allantic Lines will run regularly to Portland, if assurance can be given them of tonnage. This will open an entirely new outlet for all kinds of .Maine products, agricultural as well as manufactured. It will be necessary, however, to know what w* have iu the way of tonnage and whether we desire to ship any of it over the Pier. The value of this Pier to the State will depend upon the use made of it by Maine interests. This survey or study should demonstrate whether use can and will be made of it. Its future rests with the people of the State, not with the Commissioners appointed to build it.

We believe that volunteer workers can be found in every town of the State to make this survey.

high: because he makes few lost motions. The scientific method of telling what a person is worth to a community is to take the value of what he produces and subtract from it the value of what he consumes.

It is proof that a person ought to keep at work if he is able; when he lias been abb1 to produce enough to enable him to loaf. From sixty to seventy are fertile years. Many men are busy in the seventies. Of course, if the old man has outlived his use­fulness, he may well vacate his chair for a younger man, who wants the job.

Tlie cost of labor turnover at the bottom of the scale is nothing com­pared wdtli the cost of the labor turn­over at the top. As soon as a man wdio has been a great producer stops and becomes a consumer, lie is living off the country. His money represents nothing but obligations of society toward him individually. It could neither be eaten nor worn in case of famine.

W’ liat would have been the cost to tlie nation had Kdison retired at fifty and gone into graceful retirement? What would the world have lost in service had Theodore N. Vail retired at fifty and gone to Furope to live in a castle as did Boss ( ’ roker. If George Fliot had retired when sin- might we should never have had ter wonderful books.

workers today as they were twenty years ago. There are, of course, many men wdio have attained competency whose business has slipped away from them; who have accomplished definit ■ things and these are yet going on producing. Take, for instance, men who have founded business still pro­ducing; wdio are responsible for de­velopments of industry; such dams, railroads these men hive oftee a justification things such as interest

farming, in specialties, which engage their attention. They are producers by reason of inertia of their earlier work. Each person must settle this thing for himself; but as a rule, where the business holds on and the person retains his interest directly in it or may do so, it is far better for the man of sixty or seventy to continue in active relation; to go to his work; to enjoy his vacations as such ami not to say tin' word retire.

Often have we all heard the remark "If such a person retire from business lie would die." He lias no time at present to think of pains and aches, fit* has no time to let loose the re­straint of his will. He is in danger the moment that lie does so.

There is in a recent magazine an article on the great literary c la s s ic s

done by men from fifty to .seventy. Herein is a field that requires con­sideration as worth while. Mon­taigne's essays were chiefly written out of mature life. His experience was the substance of his wdsdom. He 1ms enriched the ages with his fancy and his philosophy of life. And lie grew wiser as lie grew older. All do not. Victor Hugo wrote Les Miser- aides around the age of sixty. He understood by this time tin* heart of tin- man of yours. His philosophy ( omprehemp-d .hum Valjean as him­sel f . After sixty a man is mure critical, calmer, mure gentle and mure

understanding. He just begins humbly to feel that perhaps be might under­stand life could be live it over again. At this time in* understands all books and feels that if lie had tlie time he, too, might write such things, quite as wadi. He appreciated till moods of til! writers. They no longer annoy him; they but refresh him, for if Milton is pedantic; and Crabbe is turgid, there are others who wrote to liis very mood and all are brethren-- each has his loveliness. If he lias fewer of the* thrills of novelty, those which come

being intellectual or spiritual, are finer and more enduring.

Tin* power of leisure to rejoice is not so great at fifty or sixty as former­ly. Most men art* happier in their office managing their business than they are in hotel corridors playing for recognition and talking business for a pastime. Out of a hundred mea of strength and power who quit tin* busi­ness for a good time, ninety long for tin* old chair again. Think it over and keep a-going, if you can.-—A. G. S. iii Lewiston Journal.
