ern Light Grange hall, Whites Corner Winter

| THE WANDERER RETURNS. The mysterious
disappearance of Harold Condor was explained
last Saturday evening, when he appeared with
William H. Baker in the latter's auto. Mr..
Baker left July 18th for business trip to
Willimantic, expecting to return the 18th, and
invited Harold to accompany him. A number
of their friends knew of the fact but did not
know of his family's anxiety in regard to Har-
old. Bakers auto failed to make the return
trip on schedule time and both tried to let
their people know the conditions, but Condor
failed to reach his. Mr.. Baker says it was
very expensive trip for him and regretted the
delay on his own as well as the boys ACCOUNT

After the organization President Frost intro
duced Hon. VIM. 7. Haines of Waterville as
the speaker of the evening, he taking the
place of Judge Philbrook of Watervllle, who
was unable to be present. Mr.. Haines is no
stranger in Belfast, and he received hearty
welcome He spoke for about an hour, using
the report of the State Treasurer for 1909 to
disprove the many false and misleading state
ments of the Democratic orators and news
papers as to the State expenditures. He showed
that large part of the direct tax is returned
to the tax payers, and that the greater part of
the revenue Of the State, which goes to sup
port the insane asylums, hospitals and other
benevolent institutions is derived from the
corporations, banks, railroads, insurance COM
papies. etc, He also illustrated the efforts
4 made to equaize taxation, by which the cities
are made to contribute to the support of
schools in the smaller places, many of them
receiving more money in this way than the
amount of their State tax. He referred to
what had been done under Republican ad-
ministration to regulate the trusts, and to the
tariff, which the Democrats say has enhanced
the cost Of living. Prices, he said. were regu-
lated by the law Of supply and demand. The
country has been growing rapidly and prosper
ing greatly and the supply has not kept pace
with the demand. When beef is high it stimu-
lates cattle raising and then prices come down
to normal. Prices are always high in times Of
great prosperity. MIR. Haines made very in
teresting and instructive address, at the close
Of which coffee, crackers and cheese were
served and social hour enjoyed. Judge B. F..
Maher Of Augusta, one of the best speakers
in Maine, win address the club next Monday
evening.
