BELFAST FOLKS IN COLORADO.

We take the liberty of making the t blow"
ing extracts from a personal letter from Mr.
A. J. Condor of The Condor Mercantile Co.,
Greeley, Colorado, under date of August 3oth'
In renewing his subscription Mr.. Condon says:
1--WE can have no better use, or get no more
satisfaction out of these two DOLLARS thaa
sending it to you for the good Old Journal
which has been life long companion OF NINE
| have read it constantly since l first learned
to read, sitting on the lap of Miss Julia A.
Wiggin, some fortyfive years ago. There Is
always something about our native town.
especially if we spent our school days there,
that we always remember with tenoer
thoughts. It makes no difference how far
away we get, or how long we stay, our child
hood recollections are always fresh IN our
mind, and we look upon any person from Bel
fast as though he was a near relative. We
have quite colony of Belfast people here at
the present time. Arthur Condor is employed
in our clothing department. Wilson Ellis has
a fine position as bookkeeper with our next
door neighbors. Both of these boys room at
my house. They had a guest, last night,
Ralph O'Connell, who is travelling in this terri
tory for an Omaha shoe house. Mr.. and Mrs.
Faunce Woodcock are also our neighbors, and
Dan Carey, who used to be a schoolmate Of
Faunce, lives on farm about two miles from
town.
"Last Sunday Mrs. Condor, myself and the
children took dinner in Fort Collins with Jesse
Wilson and family. There we met Mr.. and
Mrs Bert Thompson. We can make this trip
from Greeley in our automobile in about an
hour and half, SO you see it makes very
pleasant outing for the day. 1t takes about
three hours to drive from here to Denver,
where we frequently go to spend the day, and
return in the evening.
lowing to partial failure of the potato crop
last year, together with general depression
of business throughout the whole country,
business has not been as good in this section
during the past six months as it usually Is,
but we are expecting fairly good crop OF
potatoes this year, with record breaking
prices. They are worth about Sl.5O per hum
dred weight at the present time. This we
feel is bound to restore our usual business.

THE GRANGE FIELD DAY.
Waldo Pomona Grange has Successful
Meeting at Centennial Park, Montville

Waldo Pomona Grange has a Successful
Meeting at Centennial Park, MontviIe
The field day of Waldo Pomona Grange at
Centennial Park. Montville, August Both, was
a success from every point of view. 1t was
an ideal day for gathering of that sort and a
crowd of people, numbering several hundred
was in attendance. 1t was good, honest, in
telligent crowd, too, who gave the best of at
tention to the speakers State Master C. S.
Stetson spoke in the morning on the topic of
good roads and made good practical address.
He said, in part: 1t makes no difference
whether you live in the city or in the country,
good roads are of great Importance in either
case and think l am right In the statement
that the roads in our State and county might
be better if the money appropriated was ex-
pended rightly. believe that if it were possi-
BILE to let the building and maintenance of the
roads out by contract we should have better
roads. find we have in Androscoggin county,
1852 miles of roads. l find the State roads built
in this county have cost 1920 per mile, and a t
this rate it would bankrupt the State if the
roads were to be built all over the county.
The cost of hauling produce to market, he said.
could be reduced so per cent by having good
roads, built on business-like basis. He
thought each town should build permanent
road to connect with the State roads.
At noon picnic dinner was partaken of and
sociability reigned. The question of No
License was everywhere being informally dis
cussed and a very large majority seemed to be
in its favor.
In the afternoon Rev. Mr.. Dunnack gave an
issue of the present time.
Hon. Howard Davies of Yarmouth spoke for
the Direct Nomination bill in his usual able,
ready and convincing manner. State Lecturer,
B. Walker McKeen gave an address on the
Parcels Post, which he explained as an extern
sion of the present postal system. enabling
people to send by mail heavier packages than
at present allowable. The other countries of
the world he said have better system than
the United States. That is, most countries
have adopted the Parcels Post and none have
discarded it. Some of the objections to Par
cells Post are from the carrying interests of
the country, in opposition to the great majority
of the people. He gave many illustrations of
the injustice of the present system.
The entire program was of plain, practical
and interesting character and must be of bene-
fit to the large audience.

An Obvious Lie.

The following is clipped from last weeks
New Age, owned and edited by Governor
Plaisted:
Every liquor law on the statute books will
remain in full force if the prohibitory amend
ment is taken from the constitution"
This plainly apparent attempt to influence
the unwary to take the first false step toward
the Rum Trust ideal, is only to be compared
with the attempt of characterless conscience
less, vile, immoral sots to get the first drink of
liquor into an innocent boy. The wholly obvi.
GUS lie that removing the law from the consti.
tuition makes no change in the law, may be an
swered by asking, "then why bother it," But
Democratic Governor to issue call to the
Legislature for a special session to change the
law the very week it is removed from the con-
stitution-if it should be.-Kennebec Journal.
