ington awoke to the fact that the pres
emit Congress and administration are
making rapid progress toward classify.
ing themselves in history as the greatest
and most potent destructive and ruinous
force our country has yet produced.
Mr.. Leland recognizes, as DO all inter-
ested, that there can be no revival OF
business and industry with Congress in
session to enact the destructive legisla-
ton demanded by President Wilson. He
says further:
All the elements of prosperity are with
the country except the administration.
We should now be on the high wave of
prosperity, as we have the glad promise
of abundant crops and plenty OF money
to use in business enterprises. Instead,
the baleful influence of Washington,
like a black pail, hangs over the
Nation, and capital, always sensitive and
conservative, upon which the country
depends for initiating business, hides in
the cyclone cellar and waits till the
breaking of the storm. Having PROS
pect of let up in this senseless cam
paign of destruction, good judgment
would prompt the great wheels of COM
merce and constructive business to go
ahead at full speed, instead Of having
factories running short time. closing
down, or failing entirely, as at present.
There is something in the situation that
certainly calls to memory Nero and his
fiddle.

VETERAN ARTIST GOES INTO CAMP

Walter M. Bracket, the Oldest painter
in the United States, who celebrated his
ninety-irst birthday at the Boston Art
Club last Saturday evening, left yester-
day for his annual camping and fishing
expedition to Canada. Alone, the sports
man left for Canadian wilds. This is his
thirtietb annual trip, and he will be gone
two months. His boy Arthur, who is
seventy years of age, was unable TO De ..
at the North Station to see his father OH,
as he went to his summer camp IN new
Hampshire two weeks ago. Yet the Ola
man was given good send-ott by otner
''boys," many of whom were sixty and
seventy years of age. Mr.. Bracket IN,
tends to stop at Sherbrooke for day and
spend two days in Quebec at the Chateau
Frontenac. He will make his way by
rail and boat to the Saguenay River. HIS
old guide, Louis, will meet him with a
blackboard, on which they will ride
twelve miles to the confluence OF the
Saguenay and Marguerite Rivers. From
there they will paddle in canoe three
miles to the camp, where Louis for the
last thirty years has attended to the
wants of the elderly fisherman. Mr..
Bracket, as he left, said that he never
felt better, although he now has to resort
to the aid of his glasses more frequently
than formerly, when he paints and reads.
Boston Transcript, June 18th.
Mr.. Bracket is a native of Unity,
Waldo County. His speciality is the paint
ing of fish.

This is an error. Mr.. Newbert made
she same appeal in an address in Belfast,

Gen. Thomas A. Hopkins said that the

of the Rebellion II, 745 men, small per

never returned. AS the writer served

The results of study of apple supply
and apple prices, recently published in
report of the New York Experiment
Station, are not encouraging to orchard
lists. The field covered was the New
York city market. The average yearly
receipts of apples for the first half OF
the twenty-year period ending July 81,
1918, were S49, 1866 barrels, while for the
last half they were 1858, 1884 barrels per
year. This seems to show that the apple
crop is increasing faster than the popu-
lation. The latter has increased As per
cent in the Metropolitan district, includ-
ing New York and thirty surrounding
towns, while the apple supply has ill.,
creased 131 per cent. The average price
of apples for the first ten-year period
was 50. 62 barrel, and in the second ten
year period it was $2.87. This is an in
crease of only 1-2 per cent, while in the
same time cotton has increased ga per
cent, corn AZ per cent, hay 80 per cent,
oats SO per cent, potatoes % per
cent, wheat 81 per cent. In COM
menting on these figures Farm and
Home says: "The price of apples has
no: increased, in all probability, nearly
as much as has the cost Of starting and
maintaining an orchard. Just what eff.
feet the vast number of young orchards
which have been planted will have on
the industry is the great question before
the orchardists." The egg business
seems to be the only one that, apparent
ly, cannot be overdone.

Joe Mitchell Chapple in his chatty "Af-
fairs at Washington" in the National
Magazine for June says:
Foreign foods and condiments are now
a-days regular feature of tirst-ciass
restaurants. A Hindu chef in native
costume will serve you dishes originated
to please Asiatic rajahs-chutneys from
a score of factories in Bombay, chllles
from South America, and score OF tor
rid sauces from Europe that keep the
palates on on the qui vive and the doc
tors busy. Tobasco sauce still chases
down the no longer nature-tiavored oys-
ters-with horse radish, pepper sauce
and cayenne never overlooked.
If there is anything in the way OF con-
diments hotter than the aforesaid Tabas-
co sauce we should like to know what it
is. Tabasco sauce is made from a red
pepper about the size of medium pea,
grown in Louisiana. The peppers them
selves are used by bruising one and rub
bling it over soup plate, or a dish, be-
fore the food is placed in it, and then it
will be too hot for any but seasoned
palate. In this connection we recall the
remark of retired English officer who
was using cayenne pepper literally and a
friend at the table remarked that it was
said to be very injurious to the liver.
"God bless your soul, haven't had any
liver for years." was the colonels reply.

they are open until 9. 1t is possible to

There have been some notable news
paper consultations of late. In Chi
cago five morning newspapers will soon
be represented in a single issue. In New

dated with the Times Democrat, t1eav-
ing that considerable city,. says an ex-
change, with only one morning news
paper" We wonder what has become of
the New Orleans Bee, (Abeille) estab-
llshed in 1926, and which was printed in
both French and English until 1872, and
since then only in French. The Picayune,
which derived it's name from five cent
coin, SO called, was started in January,
1887, by George Wilkins Kendall, with a
brilliant editorial staff. and was long the
leading daily of the South. Kendalps
letters from the Santa Fee expedition,
later published in book form, and his let
tiers from Mexico during the Mexican
war, when the Picayune got its news by
pony express, were interesting features
of the paper. The New Orleans Times,
which later absorbed the Democrat and
assumed its present hyphenated title,
was established IN 1868, and soon became
the leading morning and Sunday news
paper. 1t also pub ished an evening edi-
ton. The Sunday tsuesold at ten cents
and the morning andevening editions at
five cents. The consolidation of the
Times Democrat and Picayune follows
the demise of long list of ably edited
daily newspapers in New Orleans. We
recall The Delta, The True Delta, The
Co numerical Bulletin and The Crescent.
In 1857 New Orleans had nine dailies,
but in 1871 there were only five.
