ON TIE SPUR
OF THE AOMENT
The Good Old Times.
By ROY x MOULTON.

SEE Lemuel Hicks, SEE he to me,
The times amt like what they used
to be
When a Teller could go with a ten
cent piece
And get enough bacon for to grease
The pancake griddle all nice and neat
And then to have a good chunk left
to eat.
Then butter was 5 cents a pound,
And we always had enough to go
round.
A Teller could go with a dollar bill
And whole blamed grocery order
But nowadays fer five banknote
A Teller can't get more'n he kin tote
Right home in the pockit of his over
coat.
Beats all how fur a Teller could go
On dollar back forty years or so.
But prices are gittin' so gol dunn high
Wen all eat hay like boss bime by.
Them good old days we will see no
more
When man with a dollar could buy
out a store,
But there is one thing that we must
allow,
There want so many dollars as there
are right now.

FROM OTHER PENS
THE BLUE AND THE GRAY.

Fifty years after Gettysburg the
survivors of the army of the Union
will meet in a southern city, the guests
of the survivors of the army that OPP
posed them. This verifies the words
OF Lincoln on the famous battlefield
that we here highly resolve that the
the nation shall, under God, have a
new birth of freedom, and that gov
eminent of the people, by the people
and for the people, shall not perish
from the earth"
Next September in Chattanooga the
Grand Army of the Republic will hold
it's annual encampment. This means
that the last sectional difference has
been wiped out; there is no longer
any bitterness between the north and
the south. This country is one and
indivisible. The veterans of the war
are brothers-it makes no difference
on which side they fought. This has
healed the wounds, there is no rancor,
no bitterness. No higher tribute to a
than this-we are one country, one
people and the interests of one section
are the interests of the other.
A half century is not long time in
stance it has wrought wondrous
changes. In peace and with renewed
strength the north and south clasp
hands and forget the past.-Pittsburg
Post.
LAST WORDS"
Nothing is much more ephemeral
than last words, so called. Particular
ly are last" words in naval construc-
ton, far, far from final. The two
American battleships, the plans for
which were stolen at Washington on
Inauguration day, are described as
having been designed to be the last
word in naval construction of such
high efficiency that they could not be
improved on
Such a statement, of course, is mere
folly. The 'invincib1e war vessel of
yesterday is headed toward the scrap
heap today. Before the two ships in
question could have been completed
these last words" would have become
hardly more than Introductory.
Already plans are announced at
Washington for a dreadnaught of 40
900 tons displacement, to cost 100000
600. This would be one-fourth larger
than any vessel yet authorized by con-
gress. The last words built in 1912
have $4,000 displacement.
After all, the real LAST word on
naval construction will be spoken
some day by the delegates in an in
ternational peace conference. And that
word will stay said.-Cleveland Plain
Dealer.

Currency Topics.

Currency topics have been much te
the fore at Washington during the past
week. When Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo Jared forth with statement
that he would advance $500, 000. 900 in
emergency currency to the banks, if
they needed it, tongues began to wag
and much comment was INDUCED in
Some said il I5ortended a spell of hard
times. Present Wilson, who had been
consulted by Secretary MeAdoo about
the matter. said ii was only reply to
numerous bankers who mad written to
Washington To know what the secre-
tarys policy would be in the exercise
of, discretion which the Aldreh- Vree-
land currency law gave him.
New York financiers are largely re-
sponsible for a feeling of tightness in
the money market. There is some APP
prehension over the old time subject
of sufficient money for moving the
crops but after all it is quite a while
before the West will harvest. The anx-
iety is really over the effect Of the new
tariff bill. This is aecentHated by the
fact that most mills, enga ged in man
ufacturng goods affected by tariff,
arc now running on short time. In
many quarters, there is eurtailment
because il is good business to wait Till
there is certainty as to prices and
rates. That happens always when a
tariff is being revised. It would be
true in some measure if the tariff were
to be revised upward
Republicans say, however. that the
administration is simply throwing out
life preservers. They are insistent in
their criticism and assert that the re-
suits they predicted of efforts to revise
so deeply are coming true. All this Will
be reiterated and emphasized much
during the next month or six weeks.
With factories running on short time
and business slackening everywhere,
there is feeling that the months OF
June and July and. perhaps. part OF
August will be dismal ones in The bust
ness world. 1t is probably fortunate
that the Slackening comes in the heart
of the summer season for il Will be
easier to forget il and to start with
fresh courage in the autumn. BY that
time conditions will be, at least, set
tied. There will be certainty by au-
tumn as to what the tariff rates are To
he. The lack of industry for several
months will make an increased neces-
sity for some activity in the autumn.

STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
Regular Meeting of Governor and
Council, Thursday, June 10, 1918,
10 A. M.

State Dairy Instructor f. s. Adams
has just returned from Aroostoot
county. where he has been on trip
connected with dairy Improvement In
speaking of the potato crop of Aroos-
took, to Journal reporter, he stated
that the usual acreage had been
planted by the farmers, but owing to
the extreme unreasonable weather,
this spring, were slow in sprouting.
The crop though late, if surviving the
attacks of rust and pests, after the
plants make their appearance through
the ground, ought To be one of the
best.
The hay crop, stated Nj. Adams
will be the lightest in years, and i'll no
place in Aroostook county did he see
the slightest indication of a banner
crop. He lays this to the fact thai,
last winter was so open that most of
the grass. or seed was winter killed.
Early in the season a layer of ice
formed over the ground and on top of
this came snow, killing seed ald
grass.
In many places, IL the seed has not
been resown, the crop will be a com
plete failure. Seed sown year ago.
failed TO come up again this year, and
many farmers have had 10 resoW
their fields.
Prospects of other crops are very
good al present, but many unforeseen
happenings may come before the
harvest time, destroying whole crops.
All will be late, however, owing TO the
cold spring
