Names Adiutant General.

There is general and genuine regret
that Adjutant General A B Farnham
feels compelled by i'll health to resign
the position he has filled so ably and
acceptably for the past eight years. EX-
certic nally well fitted by experience and
training for the office to which he was
first appointed by Governor Hill. Cen
eraI Faraham has shown himself just
the man for the place. He has been an
IDEAL head for our National Guard sys-
TEN for whose development and well
fare he has been a tireless worker, and
to all tie routine of his office he has
given the faithful service that has
characterized his long career in public
and private life. Not only has General
Farnham earrcd and received the re-
spect of all as a public official, but by
his unfaling courtesy and considera-
ton. his broad and generous spirit and
his noble qualities of heart he has won
the greater tribute of love from all
those associated with him. In his re-
tirement from Office he takes with him
the esteem and tie best wishes of a
host Ct warm friends in all parts of the
state.
In naming Col. Elliott c. Dill of
Portland as General Farnham's sue
resSor Governor Ferrald has made a
most excellent choice. His long con-
nection with the National Guard of
Maine ard his special work along the
line of rifle practice which has brought
his recornitior far beyond the borders
of the State have been splendid prep
aration for the work of his new office

This task o; saving 81 a week out of

out carefully you will see that it Is not
so difficult after all. In the first place
YOU would nave to save 81 a week only

was working for $4,000 had to save
81 900 for the first year only. At the

1851 BY the end of the second year
this would have earned you $500 at 5
per cent, so tEat this year you would
need to save only $345.S0 instead of
1864 or $6.65 a week. During the
third year you would have $72S work
ing for you, which at 5 per cent would
ea:n $36 ~. leaving you $3.50 to save
each week that year. Figuring in this
way. in the beginning Of your sixth
year you would have to lay aside only
5.$0 weekly: at the beginning of your
ninth, 1920, and at the beginning of
your twelfth, only $3.l5. Yet at the
end of your fourteenth year you would
have saved over $1,000, which properly
employed, would mean a great deal to

THE ROAD TO FORTUNE.
The Gospel of Saving Money Preached
to Deaf Young Ears.

A young man who would have a com
potency at the end of ten years must
make sacrifices for the first two OF
three years. Say that you. for in
stance. are earning $50 week. At the
present time you may be spending
nearly all Of this. as thousands of 9TH
ers are doing. Now, during the first
year, YOU must save $1,000. why,
you exclaim, ''if l should save $1,000 a
year that would make $4,000 at the
end of ten years. without counting the
interest. You're off in your figuring!
But wait. We are SuppOsing now
that you are having your share of pros.
perity and that at different times with
in the next few years you will have
doctors bills TO pay and may even be
without employment at times. These
things must be taken into consideration
if you would save $4,000 in ten years
So the first year you save $1,000
This leaves you little less than $11
a week upon which to live during that
time. Perhaps you will have to move
out of your present home and rent one
that is cheaper. For time it will al
SO be necessary for you to contract
fewer tailoring bills. and in all proba-
bility you will get your wife to aid
Won in economiZing; but you must save
$1,000 during that year and you will
find that you can do it.
In the second year your load will be-
come lighter, and then you will see why
it was necessary for you TO save $1,000
during the first year. The $1,000 you
can easily place out at per cent. in
terest and at the end of the second
year it will have earned you $50. So
during this second year you have to
save only $3.50. In other words. you
have 81 week more to spend on the
comforts of life during the second year
than the first. In this way your load
continues to get lighter and lighter.
You begin your third year with $1,000
out at interest. and during this year
need only save 5000, which leaves you
So week more to spend than during
the first year. and so it goes until at
the end of your fifth year you are saw
ing only $50 year, or less than one
half of your S1,560. salary. Each year
you have more to spend. At the end of
your eighth year you are saving just
$3.50 week, while you have $3.50 to
SPEND
At the end of your tenth year you
have $4,000, which is earning you $500
a year ard which may even bring you
$500 or 800 year if you invest it we'll.
If you were only thirty years of age
when you began saving you are still too
young to retire on $50 month; but now
you can spend all that YOU earn, and at
the END of another ten years. if you do
not gather the honey which your
$4,000 is making for you. you will be
worth little over $4,000. which at s
per cent. will bring you an income of
SS5 month for the rest of your life.

can be made to work to the profit Of

An Augusta Minister.

The reception given Rev. Henry f.
Dnnnack last evening by the members
Of the Green street Methodist Episcopal
church was an occasion of much inter
in question. Never efore in the his
tory Of M.thodism in Maine or in all
New England has minister served the
same church 10 years in succession and
Mr. Dunnacks appointment is there
fore rot only a splendid evidence Of his
success hero and of the esteem in
which his people hold him. but it may
also De said to mark an epoch in the
history Of this great denomination in
Maine. Since Mr.. punnack came to
Augusta the Green street church has
enjoyed Il constant growth and a re-
markable prosperity. but Mr. Dunnack
is by no means the man to cOnfine his
work to his pulpit or his study. His
active interest in public affairs, his
broad sympathy with every good move
meat and his bcundless energy have
made him one of the leading men of
Augusta and one whom the city will
not willingly lose Therefore the greet
ings and the tributes at this time come
from all our citizens. and the city, as
wen as the Green street church is to
be congratulated.

The Chance in Turkey.

/! remains to be seen whether the
tinople will be for the good of Turkey
ana for the progress of civilization in
that section of the world. The new Sui
tan Is the brother of the Sultan who
has been deposed. He is man of 65
years who Las passed his life in q Sc
clusion which has been little less than
imprisonment and is wholly unframed
in public affairs. Once he is fairly on
the throne ard the work of bringing
about the changes and reforms pro-
posed under the era of triumphant con-
stitutionalism is we'll begun. then will
come the real critical period of the
Turkish revolution. If the Young
Turks are really patriotic and show Il
broad spirit in their hour of victory,
the problem will be much simplilied
but if they have acquired the revolu-
tionary habit Turkey is likely to see
within the next few years much more
bloodshed than has marked the past
few weeks. The army is now the real
power in Turkey and it will be strange
if the progress Of reform is not COM
plicated by barracll conspiracies and
military intrigues.
Abdul Hamid may consider himself
very fortunate that he escapes with
his life. Like Charles 1. of England
and Louis XVII of France he faced a
victorious revolution with all the mill
tary power passing into the hands of
his enemies. and it speaks well for the
moderation of the leaders of the pro-
gressive movement that they allowed
him to quietly step aside instead of re-
sorting to assassination. Assassinatio ton
