prediction of the length Of the special

corn canning factory is to be erected at
once, for which over 300 acres of corn
have been pledged. Two creameries are

A writer in the Boston Herald who de-
elares himself ga sympathizer with and
a believer in trade unionism," thinks the
labor leaders are making terrible mis-
take in their attitude upon the destruc-
ton of the Times building in Los Ange-
les and the arrest of the men charged
with the crime. He says: eff they had
set out with the deliberate intention of
alternating all their non-union friends,
they could hardly have pursued more
effective course" Instead of an imme-
date and widespread denunciation of the
crime and the criminals from union
headquarters 1--WE have the humiliating
spectacle of the union leaders East and
West rushing to the defence of the al
legged criminals the moment they are ap-
pretended Could anything be more

Bangor was never known to be so free
from intoxication as during this ''dry''
period. Notwithstanding the city has
been crowded with sightseers, the num-
Der Of arrests has been below the aver
age. Many business men believe that
with very busy two years in sight for
Bangor it is better to keep the city
dry and will support the administra-
ton in an enforcement policy. Press
Despatch.
Yet one of the stock arguments against
prohibition has been that it could not be
enforced in the cities. Here we have
proof positive that it can be enforced,
and further that business men believe it
is for the best interests of the city that
Bangor should be kept dry. While the
origin of the fire that cost two lives and
destroyed 100000 worth of property
may never be known it is a fair suppo-
Sition that if Bangor had been dry city
she fire would not have occurred.

Then the city team can haul off the
rotting leaves and WORKOUT matter that
accumulates in the bitches around the
town: stuff that every street builder
recognizes as being worse than useless
for street material, and that when thrown
into the street grinds up into sticky mud,
then into dust, then washes back into
the gutter The Mayor.
All authorities on roads agree in con-
demning the practice of throwing dead
leaves, sods. rubbish, etc., into the
streets, yet it is followed here and evil
dences of it may be seen at this time.
Was this done because we had no city
team? What about the team for which
the city paid last year 5000, and for
which like appropriation has been
made this year? For the keep of the
mayors pair and the pay of man to
care for them $1,000 a year is conser-
vative estimate, and to this must be ad-
ded the 5000 appropriated for the use OF
single horse, total of 81 400. So Tar
as the use of these horses by the fire de-
partment is concerned we are told that
at least another pair is needed, and
three pairs would be better. Then we
should have a building for the fire de-
partment such as they have in the large
cities, with all the paraphenalia that
goes with it, and paid fire department.
This could be done by deferring the
building of schoolhouse, and the year
ly expenses could be met by doubling the
tax rate Such proposition would no
doubt be favorably received by the
mayors followers.

Indigestion.
Relief in Five Minutes and Permanent Cure
or Money Back,

When A. A. Howes & Co. state that they have
a remedy that only costs so cents and is guar
anteed to cure any man or woman who suffers
from food fermentation, or money back, what
are the poor stomach sufferers in Belfast and
vicinity going to do about it?
Food fermentation causes belching, sour
stomach, gas eructation, heartburn and that
lump of lead feeling as you probably know,
The name of this most remarkable stomach
prescription is MI-O-NA. Most people call
them MI-O-NA stomach tablets because they
know that there is no remedy so good for indi-
gestion or stomach disorders. Here is one
opinion:
II have been troubled with Indigestion for
more than year. l bought one box of MILO
MA and it cured me. Now would not be
without box in the house for S. 90. 1t saves
lot of doctor bills when you can be cured for
so cents.-Arthur Sederquest, Nichols St,
Wakefield, Mass.

fatuous?" This writer says further:

On accoun of the known opposition of
the Los Angeles Times to the unions,
here was their golden opportunity to
free themselves once and for all from
all suspicion of an 'unholy alliance with
murderous criminals, by placing all the
resources of the unions of the country at
the disposal of the officers of the law for
the detection and punishment of the
criminals If they had instantly appro-
priated 81, 900, 900 of union funds to the
detection and punishment of this crime,
it would have been the wisest and most
productive investment they have ever
made 1t would have restored the con-
fidence of the general public in the high
minded and unseltish purpose OF trade
unionism, and would have set the cause
