NATIONAL PLUMBER.

One must wonder if the average
congressman has any idea Of the
cost of money, for the lavish appro-
pr%iations now planning in Washing
ton will appall the taxpayer. There
are four different pension schemesin
various stages toward enactment
that increase our benefits to soldiers
1928, 900, 900. Then there are vari-
Gus other subsidy and purchase
plans to let out another 5000, OOO,-
900, so that the war debt of 1865
may yet be but an insignificant item
in the list of burdens the people
have to carry. Fortunately prospec-
tive bankruptcy has come to the
vision of some one, who has induced
the committee on rules to ask for
the passage of a resolution that
when these pension grants go
through there shall be an accom-
ptnyirg law explaining just what
proce; S shall be taken to raise the
money. AS the surplus is now only
s17,O00,00O this pension load may
kill It. Another iniquity in the
tolls granting asubsidy to the Pacific
Mail Steamship company, a sort of
lobby job, to make good the loss
occasioned by the collapse of the
pool with the Pacific railways.
1t is unfortunate that Congress
cannot adjust itself to the spirit OF

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

Most metals and alloys shrink
or contract on cooling. But Ar alloy
which will expand on cooling ay
be made Of lead nine parts, anti
mony two parts, bismuth one part.
This alloy can be advantageously
used to fill small holes and defects
in iron castings. a3
The Mississippi River has not
been lower in years than it has been
this summer. A few days ago a
man on horseback forded it near Ga
lena, ILL.,, where usually the river is
three quarters Of a mile wide. The
deepest water he found was but a
trife over two feet deep.
In the recent Senatorial contest
in Atlanta, 1920 votes were cast,

ceiving 233 majority. He carried
the city by 1913 majority, and every

the times, and give its attention to
economic policies in finance and
patriotic plans for prosperity.
Quadrupling the nations debt in
charity methods is no benefit to the
people. The distress that may
linger twenty-five years after the
war can be loyalty relieved by the
very neighbors who surround it, and
let the nation as "a whole deal
with anxieties that throb from the
unrest of the hordes who have over
run us from foreign lands. If the
steamship and the railway, the gun
and gas business, cannot be made
profitable without a rich fee from
the Government, let these enterprises
await the propitious time when pri-
waite capital see their advantages.
We even doubt the expedicncy Of
wholesale donations to illiterates
upon a basis that does not take into
calculation specific places and their
people. An ignoramus in New Eng
land needs no national sc~hoolmastcr.
The people he daily meets ought to
stimulate him to the spelling book.
But in the South, where the hosts OF
freedmen live, and in the West, where
the Indian corrals, Uncle Sam with
his primer and his birch should
focus his educating attentions.
The business of the country is in
no condition for additional burdens.
The study of Congress should le

penses. The fervor of the Grand
Army camps or tom-tOms OF the
lobby should not swerve any mem
Der from a fixed policy for retrench-
ment, for there are expenses that
must be met. The coast defence
and a few harbor and river improve

pressing necessity, and all these
other raids on the treasury be
Switched into the oblivion they

MONEY.

1t is quite an easy thing to say
"two hundred millions of dollars"
but to persons who have not that
amount of ready change by them,
and do not expect to acquire it in
the next few years, a Boston paper
suggests that the bare words do not
and cannot have full significance.
For the sake of seeing how far such
an amount of money will go, let the
reader imagine he has placed $780,
100000 in his vest pocket and is
endeavoring to spend it. Two hun
dred millions of dollars!
Enough to buy 100000 seal-skin
sacques, which would clothe every
woman in New England.
Enough to buy 1000, 900 1000
loaves of bread, giving each man,
woman and child in the United
States eighty ~loaves, and every
inhabitant of the earth four loaves
each, making a pile of solid bread
higher than the tallest mountain Of
earth.
Enough to buy 10, 1000, 900 barrels
of -four at S. each. If these barrels
were placed On end they Nould
reach around the earth on the par
allel of Boston, or they would fence
in every State in the Union,
Enough to buy 10000, OO0 pairs of
boots or shoes at $3.50 a pair, which
would keep every resident in the
Uuited States in shoes fora year.
Enough to buy LOCO, OOO, 900
pounds of beefsteak at twenty cents
per pound, more beefsteak than is
on the face of the earth to-day.
Enough to buy 1000, O0O, 900
yards of calico at five cents a yard,
making 400, 900, 600 calico dresses of
ten yards each, which would give
every woman on earth who is over
fifteen years Of age Il new dress.
Enough to give every man, woman
and child in the United States a 81
d nj e..
Enough to support 10000 work
ingmen and their families forever;
so much that it would take labOrer
working Sundays and all at So a day,
273,00O years to earn it, or more
than 10000 men could earn in a life
time. ..
Enough to make nearly 5000 tons
of solid gold, nor than 1000 horses
could haul through the streets.
Enough to buy 500, OOO, 900 pounds
of coffee, 400, 900 pounds of tea,
1000, 100000 pounds of sugar, 1OO,-
100000 barrels Of apples, 10000

SOME PERTINENT SUCCESS
TONS.

The Bulletin published by the
Board Of Agriculture, isa wei edited
and well \printed sheet Of eight
pages, subscription price 25 cents
per year. Oar excellent agricultu-
lural journals, \The/ North Carolina
Farmer and the PROGRESSIVE FAT
MER, make strong points against it.
They claim, very justly, that it
enters the general field of agricul-
ture, and hence comes in COMPETE
ton with private enterprises. Such
ii publication ought to >confne itself
to the work of the department., and
there is plenty of matter connected
with this work which the people are
anxious to know. The department
was established for the benefit of
the farmer, and consequently the
farmer desires to be informed what
it is doing to promote his interest.
The department has at its command
about + 1000 a year. This sum is
spent, but not one farmerin a thOus-
and feels that he is benefited by its
expenditure. How would it do for
the Bulletin to contain an itemized
statement, each month, of how the
money goes? To give the items to
cover $40 dollars per day would
take some space, but it would be
exceedingly interesting and i%nstruc-
tive.
The department is not popular
with the great masses of the people.
How would it dofor the Commission
er of Agriculture to leave his easy
chair occasionally and goout among
the people and deliver lectures and
give information as to the workings
of the department? The commits
sioner is a man of learning, ability
and fine literary culture, and he
could greatly benefit the people and
popularize the department. This is

No Fertilizers ever introduced have been
more universally successful or generally ap-
proved than the above brands, and, while not
intending to say anything to detract from the
reputation of any other fertilizer, we think the
experience of the past twelve years justifies us
in claiming that for Wheat, Glover and Grass,
and the improvement of the soil, these ma
nures are not surpassed by any of them. They
are unusually rich in ammonia, and real bone
phosphate erery atom soluble in the soil and
available as plant food, and they are in such
perfect chemica and physical condition as to
render their action prompt, continuous and
lasting. The quantity and condition of these
valuable elements make these manures of
exceptionally high grade, and they are reason
ably sure to give satisfaction.

Downhearted? Pshaw! there's seldom
A lane without a turning!
Each desert has a spot of green,
In spite of bright Soils burning,
Your friends have failed you? Well, what
then? ..
Remember changeling Peter;
Sorrow has tried the best of men,
And life is all the sweeter.
What adds a zest to Summers joy?
Is not q Winter weary?
Peace would be tame without alloy,
Past grief makes solace CHEEKY.
All canno win though all must run
When once life's race is started;
Yet all may hear the words: "Well

( Aroostook Republican.

lhiooshooA ltcPuoAiS"h'I
The all-important question with US is
"Who is the best man for the Officer" In
another place we have spoken of "represen-
tative men, Who, then, is the man who
best represents, in his life, character. and ex-
perience, the prevailing ideas of the time?
We regard Mr.. Bodwell as the man. We
have know him, personally, long and well.
We known him to be thoroughly "represen-
tative" American citizen. He has not
reached his present social and business stand
ing by artificial aids. His own strong hand
and clear brain have been the only means by
which he has climbed the ladder Ginning
from his native Granite State, a mere boy.
with a stone cutters chisel, his only posses
sion, in his hand, he has carved out from the
hard rocks of the bleak and barren shores Of
Maine an ample fortune and an honest fame.
He is known all over the country as a man Of
immense energy, industry, and executive
ability. Like Gen. Grant, he is man of
deeds more than words.
He is now capitalist, but his money and
vast mental aud physical energies have been
employed in setting in motion the wheels of
industry and giving employment to honest
labor. To him. more than to any other one
man, is Maine indebted for the development
Of its granite works, and agriculture has
received from him rich blessing in the im-
proved stock which it now has as the
result of his large investments and personal
labors. He uses money, honestly obtained,
to bless the hearts and homes of labor. He
is. therefore. the sincere, practical, reliable
friend and patron of labor, not loud-mouthed
pretender whose friendship is ror ct preterea
nthil. As republican he is too well known
to need any words of commentator. He has
been pronounced and active, and his republi
canism is of the kind that ''knows no varia-
bleness nor shadow of turning" With Hon.
J. Il. Bodwell for a candidate, we believe an
old time majority will crown the republican
standard with a rousing victory in September.
