AN ELEVEN BILLION DOLLAR
LOAD
What is the matter with the American
peoples cost of living? What is the
matter with the American people’s in
dustry and business? What is the mat
\fr .,with .the American people’s jobs?
Well, for instance:
The tax which the American people
are paying into the United States Treas
ury to conduct the United States Gov
ernment, which is still on a war inflation
basis, is, in round numbers, five billions
of dollars a year.
1 he tax which the American people
are paying to the railroads, which are
still on a war inflation basis, to trans
port the articles they use and the com
modities they consume is, in round num
bers, six billions of dollars a year.
On just those two items alone, there
fore, each of them hitting the public’s
pocket squarely and unescapaoly, there
is a tax of eleven billions of dollars fia
year.
Eleven billions of dollars a year is an
■ /erage charge of about $110 a year
against every man, woman and child m
the United States. By the f ederal cen
sus estimate of an average of five persons
to a family, eleven billions of dollars a
year is an average charge of $550 against
every family in the United States. Just
think of it! An average family charge
of $550 a year for only national Govern
ment and railroad charges.
The American people who foot all the
bills for everything cannot stand a load
of $55J a year to the family from Gov
ernment and railroad charges alone oil
top of all the other charges they have to
carry. American industry cannot be
come active and buoyant again when the
American public, which must support
American industry, is so overloaded with
Government and railroad taxes.
These war inflation charges against the
public are largely due, both with the
Government and with the railroads, to
war inflation labor costs. The national
Government costs of doing business must
be cut to the bone so that the tax bur
dens it piles upon the* public may be
lightened. The railroads’ cost of doing
business must be cut to the bone so that
the tax burdens they pile upon the public
may be lightened.
But the task of cutting operating costs
must begin with cutting war inflation
labor costs. Then normal industry anf
business will get a chance. —N. Y. Her
ald.
HERE IS A BARGAIN
Owing to my ill health, I will sell at
my residence in Perry, Maine, according
to the government’s survey, one plush
raspberry cow, age sixteen years. She
is of undoubted courage and gives milk
frequently. She will not kick, except
when being milked. To the man who
does not fear death in any form, she
would be a great boon. She is very
much attached to her present home with
a stay chain, but she[will be sold to any
one who will agree to treat her right.
She is one-fourth Shorthorn and three
quarters hyena. I will also throw in a
double barrel shot gun which goes with
her. In May she usually goes away for
a week or two and returns with a tall,
red calf with wobbly legs. Her name is
Rose. I would rather sell her to a a non
resident, the farther away the better.
The price is right. If you aie interested
in the cow, or if you want better milk
and better service telephone Harry G.
Dore, Tel., 2-12, Perry, Me., R. F. D. 31.
KILLING THE GOOSE,
High freight rates mean a narrower
distribution and, coupled with large
crops, mean low prices. Freight rates
are now so high that Maine has not been
able to compete for potato seed business
in Texas and other parts of the South.
Texas farmers paid a good price for their
seed this year, about $5 per sack, but the
freight from Aroostook to Texas is now
$3.39 a barrel. This leaves the grower
$1.61. sacked and loaded, for 165-pound
sack. I feel that the railroads are find
ing that id raising their rates so high,
they have “killed the goose that laid the
golden egg,” for what is true of potatoes
is equally true of other farm products,
aud the railroad tonnage is falling off
very fast. Guy C. Porter, Sales Mana

MAKES A PLEASING PICTURE
Home Like This Would End the Wor.
ries Over Landlords, Rents and
Leases—Plenty of Light and
Ventilation.
By WILLIAM A. RADFORD.
Mr. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building, for the readers of this
paper. On account of his wide experience
as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he
is, without doubt, the highest authority
on all these subjects. Address all inquiries
to William A - Radford, No. 1827 Prairie
avenue, Chicago, 111., and only inclose
two-cent stamp for reply.
Uppermost in the thoughts of most
families today is the question of home
—where they are going to live—how
much it will cost—and will they be able
to pay. Thousands are practically fac
ing eviction upon the expiration of
their present leases in May. Their
rents have been raised to a point
where they can no longer pay and
live, so they must move. Consequent
ly they are in a nerve-racking dilem
ma. The possibility of their getting
a new flat at a reasonable rate is very
slim and they are confronted with a
situation that demands considerable
thought and worry. Many of them
are turning to a sure source of relief,
buying a home. In n home of their
own their worries over rents, land
lords, leases, etc., cease. They become
independent citizens of a community;
not wandering nomads nnd teat dwel
lers. And this can be done at less
monthly outlay than if they attempted
to rent an apartment.
Never was there a time when homes
were needed as badly ns they are at
sleep are not disturbed by the noise
from other parts of the house.
Directly to the rear of the dining
room is the kitchen, modeled along
the very latest ideas of home building
in that it is small, compact but com
plete in all details. The large awk
ward kitchen has no place in the mod
ern home. They only mean extra
work for the housewife because of
their size. A small pantry is built off
one corner of the kitchen. A modern
bathroom completes the floor plan ar
rangement.
It is obvious that an attractive home
like this will appeal to many families
who are planning on building a home
of their own, not only because of its
picturesque appearance and charming
interior arrangement, but because of
its reasonableness in cost. It is free
from any feeling of crowding, and a
wonderful place for children. What
most homeseekers need Is the stimu
lus to make their ambitions a reality,
and certainly a home like this will do
much toward bringing this result
about. ‘
REAL “PRINCE OF DENMARK”
Hamlet Not Altogether a Creation of
the Brain of the Greatest of
English Writers.
Hamlet, the hero of Shakespeare’s
most famous tragedy, Is a personage
who appears in history, yet is half
mythological, bflt has been trans
formed by the genius of the English
poet Into one of the most dominating
figures of literature. It is allowed
that Shnkespeare’s Hamlet was sug
gested by the Hamlet, or Amleth, of
Saxo Grammaticus. The latter's “His
tory of Denmark” had been published
ir Paris in 1514. Francois de Belle
forest included the tale of Hamleth
in his “Tragic Histories” (1570), an
English translation of which appeared
in 1608. Shakespeare’s drama was
written earlier than this last date and
must have derived its plot either from
De Belleforest’s work or a translation
executed before the end of the Six
teenth century, -unless the poet, who,
it is known, was a great reader of
histories, took the incident direct from
Saxo Grammaticus. to
According to the Danish historian.*
the present. With thousands marry
ing each year, the number of new
homes being erected to house them is
sadly inadequate. It is estimated
there are a million homes short in the
United States. That is why every
family should seriously consider the
possibility of getting a home of its
own. For the family of moderate
means the bungalow affords an excel
lent shelter. It is small, comparative
ly inexpensive, and delightfully cozy
and comfortable. Moreover it is dis
tinctively individual in design.
Such a home is the charming bun
galow shown here with floor plans.
Low rambling design, it forms a very
pleasing picture with its immaculate
white stucco exterior and seelusive
front porch recessed under an exten
sion of the roof. It gives an impres
sior of bigness, but really is not as
large as it looks at a glance, as the
dimensions show. This bungalow
home is 30 feet wide and 39 feet long
on the longest side which includes the
wing containing the rear bedroom.
The windows are unique and ample,
insuring plenty of light and ventila
tion in all parts of the home. Two
triple windows provide light for the
dining room, a large cheerful room on
the right front, 1(1 feet 6 inches by 13
feet. The porch is a few steps above
the walk and very attractively sur
rounded by broad stucco balustrades
and protected by an arch of the same
material. The front door opens di
rectly into the living room, the larg
est room in the home, being 17 feet 6
inches by 13 feet. The living and din
ing rooms are connected by a wide
open doorway. Leading from the liv
ing room is a narrow hall which gives
access to the two bedrooms and
equipped with space-saving garment
carriers which eliminate much*aȣTlie
waste entailed by old^ashioned
clothes closets. Each bedroom lias
splendid ventilation facilities and win
dow space. The rear bedroom has
windows on two sides. Moreover in
being separated from the living rooms
as they are, the people who wish to
Humloth was prince of Jutland; his
father, the king of Jutland, had been
murdered by his own brother, Fengo,
who took the throne anil queen of the
dead man. Humleth feigned madness
to save bis own life. He stabbed one
of Fengo'* courtiers, sent to spy upon
him, and for this purpose concealed
himself under a truss of straw. He
reproached his mother with her
shameful second marriage to such ef
fect that she promised to help him
in avenging his father by putting
Fengo to death—a promise which she
kept. These nre the very incidents
Shakespeare has selected for his play,
sometimes emphasizing the points of
the narrative, sometimes softening
them or changing them, in harmony
with his own vivid conception of
dramatic requirements. Shakespeare’s
“Hamlet” was first played in 1000 or
1001, and first printed.in 1603.
President Eliot Was Oarsman.
The Varsity club at Harvard uni
versity is made up of athletes who
have won their letter in competition.
At a recent luncheon of the club the
names of all the graduates present,
in llie order of their classes, were read,
and first upon the list was the name
of President Emeritus Charles IV. El
iot. ’53.
President Eliot was a noted Har
vard oarsman in his day, and he told
tlie club -youngsters present of how
the Harvard color was chosen by a
six-oared crew in which he rowed
while lie was in college. Harvard
“crimson” at one time degenerated to
magenta, according to color historians
at Cambridge, but deep research has
developed that the true shade is ar
terial red.
Letters of Recommendation.
“Billy” Williams, United States
commissioner of internal revenue,
says a lawyer told him once that “a
letter of recommendation does not evi
dence a man’s ability, but merely sig
nifies the amiability of the writer.”
That is about as solid a truth as one
will see in a day’s work. Every ready
letter writer will agree to that. Many
lettefs tell the truth about the man
for whom they are written, but they
rarely tell the whole truth. If there’
ere unpleasant facts about tile bearer,
of the letter, the writer lias been dis-L’
creetly and courteously silent in re
spect to them. It is not his business
to argue and analyze. It is his job
to give a friend a life.—The Mont
gomery (Ain.) Advertiser.
Wealthy Indians.
A great many Indians are very
wealthy and own a great (leal of both
real and personal property. A large
number of them are fully enfranchised |
citizens of the United States. The
commissioner of Iudian affairs says
that every effort is made to induce
the Indian settlers on the reservations
to improve themselves and make use
of the opportunity America offers
them to become citizens.
FROZE ICE CREAM WITH HAIL
STONES
Henry A. Bryant of Corea telephoned
to a Bar Harbor business man Monday
of last week and asked him how much of
a hail storm there had been in Bar Har
bor. The Bar Harbor man replied that
we had had a little hail storm.' The Co
rea man then said that the storm at Co
rea had been the worst that he had ever
seen, that the hail stones had been the
size of nutmegs and that he himself had
scraped up enough of these hail stones
with which to freeze five gallons of ice
cream. Other reports from across the
bay are to the effect that the storm was
the worst in years.—Bar Harbor Record.
MEETING OF PISCATAQUIS OIL*
COMPANY
A special meeting of Piscataquis Oil
Co. was held a few days ago and it was
voted to authorize the directors to make
a contract with D. J. Coulter, a success
ful Pennsylvania oil driller, to drill a
well.
> The lumber is on the ground for the
I derrick auu wora on u will begin at once.
It is expected that the machinery for
drilling will arrive from Pennsylvania by
the time it is completed.
It was also-voted to increase the num
ber of stockholders to 200.
American Legion Notes
Instances where the American Legion
has lent a helping hand in times of cat
astrophe as well aa in the ordinary rou
tine of civil life are reported almost daily
to national headquarters.
Between 6,000 and 7,000 maple trees
are to be planted along the Lincoln high
way in St. Joseph and Laporte counties
in Indiana, as a memorial to the soldiers
from the two counties who lost their
lives in the World War. The planting
will be in charge of the American Legion
PoSts at South Bend and Laporte.
“The charge has been made that the
Legion was a capitalistic institution, but
its very composition is enough to prove
that such an accusation is absolutely
baseless. The Legion’s big job at the
present time is to win decent treatment
for several thousand disabled veterans
and to provide employment for approxi
mately 400,000 more who are now jobless, j
Nothing very capitalistic about that pro
gram, is there?”
Texas and Arkansas Legion members
assisted in the recovery of 100 bodies of I
victims of the recent Texas tornado as !
well as carrying on relief work among
the survivors. The Williams Post of the
Legion at Clifton Forge, Va , has ar
ranged to take up picks and shovels to
help the city build a (10,000 playground.
The spring municipal house cleaning in
Kansas City, Mo., and Eunice, La., re
ceived fresh impetus when Legion mem
bers provided wagons and fatigue details
for the work.
