WEEKS MILLS.
Weeks w hite.

A pretty home wedding was held Sun
day at noon at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Hubbard j. White. when their daughter,
Miss Edna May, was united In marriage
to William Augustus Weeks of Water
town. Mass. The bridal party stood un-
der an arch of hydrangeas. The eere-
mony was performed by the Rev. Perry
Macy of South China, in the presence OF
relatives and friends. The double ring
service was used with Doris Shuman as
ring bearer. The bride was attended by
Miss Jessie Folsom and Miss Dora Mad
docks of Augusta, the groom by George
Rafuse of WATERFOWL. Mass, and Kerry
Steward of Skowhegan. A reception was
held after the ceremony. Light refresh
ments were served. Mr. and Mrs Weeks
are both very popular and the best wishes
of their many friends go with them to
their home at WATERFOWL, Mass.

big sugar factories in one State alone
have been closed. The ruined beet sugar
industry can be restored to life and pros
perity by an adequate protective duty; it
is not of the trust but the enemy of the
trust and Democracy has destroyed it.
We are now at the mercy of the sugar
producers of foreign nations. sugar is
going up steadily-and nothing save Re-
publican protection can make the neces-
sary reform.
Whether the Democrats are for the SUI
gar consumers Or the sugar trust has
been answered by former Democrats In
Louisiana the entire sugar growing pop
ulation has revolted because the Demo-
cratic party betrayed them TO the sugar
trust. The Democratic secretary of the
treasury has asked Congress not to al
low the United States Supreme Court to
pass upon the dispute between the
American sugar consumers and the SUI
gar trust. He does not want the trust
which is destroying competition and at
the same time initiating prices to the
highest point in history to be disturbed.
No wonder the voters want Republican
ism.

The Ready Reference Record
and Solution Blank Book
at HALF PRICE

BY >ss~ay OF explanation, Before
etarting the Picture Puzzle Pastime it
was realized that Journal readers as
a whole were not familiar with the
different phases and workings of a
contest of this nature and that much
enlightenment in this direction would
be necessary. A campaign of educa-
ton was begun and kept up for many
weeks but even today with the con-
who do not thoroughly understand the
Pastime, this being in part due to their
not having provided themselves with
the two books necessary for an in
telligent and thorough understanding
of the contest. The main idea of the
contest is to amuse readers and at
the same time reward them for their
work. or play as one may look at it.
1t is open to all readers Of the paper
and If it has amused them or been
the means of placing the paper before
new readers, the main object has been
attained The contest is not regard
ed in a financial light and remember
this, the Journal will not, in actual
cash, make anything in this contest.
The big cash prizes and the various
expenses attendant on a contest OF
this nature preclude any such posi-
bility. The Journal is content if the
contest has amused its readers, old
and new. The two books used in
connection with the contest are, in the
main, necessary to the general scheme

American mills would sell for $1.50 a
yard. Enough for a suit would cost
s5.25. The remainder of the cost, trim
mings, tailoring, etc, would bring the
figure to the retailer up to SIS. The
retailer has to add about 40 per cent.
to meet his expenses and allow fair
profit.
Now the question is: How much
do you reduce the price of this suit
under the Democratic tariff? There is
one way to save lot of money, pro-
vided, Of course, you can take the
time. That is to run over to London
and have your clothes made there. for
when the article is finished, there is
no duty on the product. But if you
bring over the cloth from Europe,
there is duty of So per cent When
purchased three and half yards
would make the cost $3.50. The duty
of 80 per cent. would bring this cost
up to $s4.65, which is near enough for
this purpose. That gives us reduc-
ton of SO or so cents in the cost of the
cloth on one suit of clothes. Do You
suppose you are going to get that re-
duction when you buy your suit? Most
certainly not. The price is going to
be the same as under the Republican
tariff, and ii is the same"
Professor Emery here emphasized
the fact that the American mills
would have to lower their price to
meet the foreign price, labor suffered
and the millmen suffered, but the man
who bought the suit received no bene-
fit; In other words. the foreign man.
ufacturer and the foreign laborer gets
the profit at the expense of American
labor and capital.
"A change of cent a yard in the
price of cotton at the mills will not
make much difference all over the
country" said Professor Emery, 'but
this cut affects the producer in profit
and loss. q 1t might mean a fortune.
That one-cent difference gets lost in
the shuttle If you shave that one cent
off and let in foreign goods, the mill
owner has to meet the drop and, may
be, close up his mill.
ANY talk that the price to the con-
sumner will be cheaper when the tariff
is taken off is not so. The price does
does not change, but at the same time,
foreign mills are helped and American
mills are hurt. A protective tariff will
make the American producer confident
so that he will be willing to run his
mill at full capacity and not take a
chance at running it on half time or

DEMOCRATS SHOULD NOT
TALK ABOUT SUGAR

From Washington some posters have
been shipped into Maine, the purpose of
which is to attract votes to Democracy
by the magnetism of Democratic legisla-
ton passed within the life of the pres
ent administration. The poster is made
up of a series of questions. all of which
are so easily answered that they have
furnished an excellent brief for Repub-
lican campaigners engaged in showing
the inefficiency of the present controlling
party. One of the questions has to do
with sugar. The statement is made that
the Democracy took off from sugar a
tax Republicans had levied upon it, and
saved the people s120,000.0 900. The question
then presented is: Are Maine voters for
the American people or the sugar Trusts?
1t would seem as If Democrats would be
careful not to mention sugar In their
campaign, for if they are cuipable in any
action of the last two years, they are
unpardonably culpable in their action on
the sugar duty.
Under the tariff provisions OF the
Payne Aldrich law a revenue of many
millions-though many millions less
than s120,0O0,000 as the Democratic
poster states-came into the United
States treasury from tariffs on sugar i'm
ports. And not only did these many mill
lions come thus into the great public
pocket of the American people, but the
tariff on sugar protected the American
beet sugar industry until under the wise
fostering of protection it became a fac
tor in the fixing of sugar prices in
America and was of itself a worthy and
legitimate American industry. The sugar
trust might raise the price of sugar
through the early summer months, but
unfailingly the coming upon the market
of the beet sugar in season brought the
price down again and saved many mil
lions Of dollars to sugar consumers.
Moreover, the Taft administration be-
lieved the sugar trust to be powerful
monopoly working in restraint of trade
and against the voice of the Sherman
Antitrust Act, and began litigation to
dissolve it. A great amount of work had
been done to this end when the Demo-
cratic majority with President Wilson at
it's head came into power
TIL Underwood tariff law
placed sugar on the free list This
means, of course, that the Tariff For
Revenue Only" set aside the sugar reve-
nues and the American people lost all
the dollars that IL had right to receive
from sugar importations. But they were
told that the result of the new law would
be cheaper sugar, and that through its
miraculous operations the sugar trust
would be driven to the wall.
What really happened to sugar? The
price went up! There is stronger and
richer sugar trust today than ever be-
fore! The millions in revenue that used
to go into the treasury of the United
States government now go into the treas
ury of the sugar trust The American
beet sugar industry is destroyed!
And what of the proceedings against
the sugar trust? They were halted!
The sugar trusts are not the producers
of sugar. but the monopoly which con-
trolls sugar trading and fixes sugar
prices. Since the Democrats have been
