SOUTH PIVOTS TO PROTECTION
The Southern Tariff Congress re
cently assembled at Greensboro, X.
C. was told by William Burgess of
the United States Tariff Commission
that the war bad eliminated the tar
iff issue from politics and he urged
that it be permanently divorced, but
admonished the organization not to
advocate tariff laws which might em
barrass other nations.
Mr. Burgess, in a sense, speaks
truly. An overwhelming majority of
the country today is dead set against
the pre-war Democratic idea of free
trade or a tariff for revenue only.
The sole advocates of that policy
today are a corporal’s guard of sen
ators and representatives in Con
gress, whose mental processes have
become too indurated to receive new
impressions. When their rant is si
lenced, tariff protection will no long
er be an issue, because it will be ac
cepted as axiomatic.
Tiie development of the protective
sentiment in the South since the pas
sage of the Wilson-Underwood law
if. 1913 to the average rtian is some
what phenomenal. Twenty-five years
ago an organization such as the
Southern Tariff Association, devoted
to the policy of protection, might
1 ave run afoul the Ku Klu.x Klan or
some sort of Vigilance Committee.
But today a man may talk protection
at the tip end of Texas without fear
of being impaled on agturnspit and
browned to a nicety fine growth of
manufacturing industnes in the
South has had much to do with this
change of sentiment.
OUR WIRELESS OPERATORS
County, state anil national confer
ences arc just as natural to the
American people as going to school
or the circus, so when the -‘First
National Wireless Convention is an
nounced for Aug. 31 to Sept. 3 at Chi
cago, no one is surprised, liut seri
ously, it will he a convention of some
size and of great importance, as 3000
delegates will attend and the subject
has grown into one of the most im
portant matters in the world of com
munication that we now have. With
the wireless, the steamer is today, in
direct at.d constant communication
with the land and already cases are
known where the wireless message
has saved lives and property, which
otherwise must have been lost.
Therefore, we expect material and
extensive results from the conference
of the wireless experts, through the
exchange of their experiences and
ideas.
New England will doubtless be well
represented, in proportion to her
membership. Her states now have
27 wireless clubs, divided: Massa
chusetts. 16: Connecticut 4; Maine,
3; New Hampshire, 1: Vermont, 2;
Rhode Island 1. Maine’s three are:
Portland Radio Association, Port
land; Bath Radio Association, Bath:
Central Maine Radio Association,
Waterville.
Over 300 sectional clubs are affil
iated with the American Radio Relay
League, under whose auspices the
convention will be held. These
dubs have members who operate
over 6500 amateur wireless stations
from Maine to California and f^om
Florida to Alaska.
The possibilities in wireless com

munication are simply beyond all
speculation. That this conference
means much to the entire world is
borne out by the announcement that
plans will be perfected thereat for
tests next December of trans-At
lantic wireless, when it is expected
that amateur stations in England,
France and Holland will hear the
messages from this country.- If suc
cessful. these tests will mean that
amateurs in any part of the United
states or Canada can soon have mes
sages relayed to friends in Europe.
LIFE ON THE FARM
I.ife on the modern farm has
changed somewhat since the days of
the first settlers'in the United States,
Maine included, according to the re
port of the Bureau of the Census.
Department of Commerce at Wash
ington in relation to the use of mo- ■
tor vehicles, telephones, water and
light on farms. The figures for the
entire United States are in them
selves a good illustration of the scale
on which farming business is done by
our people.
Of the total number of farms, 30.T I
per cent., or 1,979,864, reported 2.- 1
It6,al2 automobiles in use: 2 per
cent., or 131,551 farms, had 139,169'
motor trucks; 3.6 per cent., or 229,334
farms had 246,1 19 tractors; 38.9 per!
cent., or 2.50S.002 farms had tele- !
phones; 10 per cent., or 644,088 farms,
had water piped into the house; and
7 per cent., or 47)2,809 farms, had gas
o'- electric lights.
Maine, according to the census, has
48,227 farms. The above named ar
ticles were reported in use in Maine
as follows;
With "4.2 per cent, reparting, or
11,GST farms, 12,569 automobiles were
ir. use; with 2.2 per cent, reporting,
or 1061 farms, 1120 motor trucks were
in use; with i.3 per cent, reporting,
or 605 fa rms. 635 tractors were in
use; 23.632 farms reported telephones
installed, IS,020 farms had water
piped in and 4625 had gas or electric
lights.
Maine farms were first in New Eng
land in use of the automobiles; third
in motor trucks; first in tractors;
first in telephones; a very close sec
ond in water piped in house; and an
easy second in use of gas or electric
ity. *
As was remarked, modern farming
conditions in Maine differs somewhat
from those of the days of the early
settlers.
The reward of $1 given a Boston
man for the return of a bundle of se
[ curities lost by thd owner may re
mind some of the older citizens of
Gardiner of a like reward passed the
finder of an old fashioned wallet,
tilled to overflowing with some $16,000
; or SIV.O'Hi in cash and securities. The
j owner was a wealthy “down river”
j man and the finder what in those
j days was called a saloonkeeper,
j The latter refused the munificent
• reward, telling the owner, “Keep it,
I you may need it some day."
Tlie United States Forestry Serv
ice says: “Germany because of the
war, lost about 21,547,520 acres of
land exclusives of plebiscites: un
doubtedly a serious national misfor
tune. The United States, during the
period of 1916-20. inclusive, burned
up 56,488,30. acres of our forested
area-—over two and a half times as
much as Germany's entire loss—an
area greater than Xew York and
Pennsylvania combined, or of Min
nesota, Kansas, Idaho or Utah.
The United States government has
done wonderful work in bringing into
use parasites or friendly insects that
destroy serious crop pests without
injury by themselves to the crops.
One of its experts is now en route
to European parasjje laboratories at
Hyeres, southern France, to study
the insect enemies of the alfalfa
weevil, which has already done great
injury in the States.
With the German printing-presses
clanging night and day turning out
paper money, perhaps it might be
profitable to sell German marks short
now, if you could find anyone to buy
them.—Boston Globe.
How about those marks many of
our soldier hoys invested in while
‘‘over there”?
Berries are nearly gone and fruits
have been and are from two to three
weeks ahead of their usual arrival,
owing to quick ripening in the dry
and hot weather. Banking the house
and ice fishing are almost with us.
Panama, just as expected, acqui
esces in the United Suites’ view of
the disputed Goto territory and states
that site will not resist occupation by
Costa Rica. What else could the
poor girl do?

FOR THE LITTLE ONES
For he would trSmplo kindness
And ntercy into tne dust—

He is not the guide to trust.
Oh. shunto on the mothers of mortals
Who have not stopped to teach
Of the sorrow that lies in dear, dumb

The sorrow that has no speech.

That fashioned Man the King;

And 1 will tight his fight.
And speak the word for beast and

Till the world shall set things right.
The Frequent Visitor strolled into

ly Friday morning with a K. J. in his
hand, opened to the Maine Gossip

member the little old sign on the lit
tle old wooden building that stood
where the southwest corner of the
Masonic Temple now is, leading:
'Going Out Washing Done Here'.’
And the F. V. strolled out of the

“One of Maine's brilliant women
gave two wonderful addresses at the
New Hampshire Veterans' Associa

Weirs. N. H., Mrs. Wallace R. Tarbox
of Fryeburg. national representative
Of the ladies of the O. A. R. She is
a fine speaker, has a beautiful voice
and is a convincing speaker on any
subject. The manner in which she
dealt with the railroads was most in
teresting. Mrs. Tarbox certainly is a
great asset to the Pine Tree State
and she knows how to boom it_at
the same time being greatly admired
in New Hampshire."

judge’s room. A door now opens
from the corridor and the witness'
box that stood at the right of the
bench has been removed, as in the
future but one set of jury seats will
be used. The judges’ lavatory has
also been changed so that it opens
only from the judges' room and is ex
clusively for their uses.

Barley as Dough
(I.os Angeles Times)
! There doesn’t seem to he any me
i drum of exchange in Russia and
money will not stand still long
: enough to be counted. The soviet
government is therefore proposing to
make the pood of barley the unit of
exchange. Barley is a national sta
ple. and just now can lie used in any
! home. It can be used for bread, cof
| lee or beer. A pood of parley is equal
: to 36 pounds in this country and
might be called the new dollar of the
soviets. A commission has fixed its
1 exchange value for so many eggs,
i potatoes, cigarettes, hairpins, collar
i buttons and the like. Any gentle
man contemplating a trip to Russia
would do well to carry a few poods of
barley in his trunk. He will go far
ther than he would if equipped with
• a bale of paper rubles. It seems fun
ny that the basis of the home brew
in this country should be accepted as
i money in Russia. But why not?
