The history Of highway Transports
tioD since the days of the Roman EN-.
pire exhibits few phases and great
turning points which have marked
new eras in progress, in efficiency, in
conveniences or economy. Historians
of transportation tell rs that mans
1rst land vehicle was a poatlike struc.
tu-e without wheels, which was pulled
by sheer brute strength, first by nan
and then by animals which he sub
jugated, the OK. horse and mule. The
next step in land transportation was
by means of crude rollers, which were
clipped underneath the vehicle very
much on the order of the rollers which
we see in use in moving small build.

When the revolving wheel was ap-

PAYROLL Of
CIVILIZATION MET
BY FARMER
WANTS NO "DEADHEADS" ON
LIST OF EMPLOYEES.
A CALL UPON THE LAW MAKERS
TO PREVENT USELESS TAX
UPON AGRICULTURE.
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union

Lecturer National Farmers Union
The farmer is the paymaster Of
industry and as such he must meet
the nations payroll. When industry
pays its bill it must make a sight
draft upon agriculture for the amount,
which the farmer is compelled to
honor without protest. This check
drawn upon agriculture may travel to
and fro over the highways of COM
merce; may build cities; girdle the
globe with bands of steel; may search
hidden treasures in the earth or
traverse the skies, but in the end it
will rest upon the soil. No dollar
will remain suspended in midair; it is
as certain to seek the earth's surface
as an apple that falls from tree.
When farmer buys pillow he pays
the man who mined the metal, the
woodman who felled the tree, the
manufacturer who assembled the raw
material and shaped it into an ar
ticle of usefulness, the railroad that
transported it and the dealer who
SOlu ulul the SOO0c. 11O pays eiS
wages of labor and capital employed
in the transaction as well as pays
for the tools, machinery, buildings,
etc, used in the construction of the
commodity and the same applies to
all articles Of use and diet of him
self and those engaged in the sub
Sfdiary lines of industry.
There is no payroll In civilization
that does not rest upon the back
of the farmer. He must pay the bills
all of them.
The total value Of the nation
annual agricultural products il around
s12.O0O,0 100000, and it is safe to est.
mate that 95 cents on every dollar
goes to meeting the expenses Of sub.
sidiary industries. The farmer does
not work more than thirty minutes
per day for himself; the remaining
thirteen hours of the days toll he
devotes to meeting the payroll Of the
hired hands of agriculture, such as
the manufacturer, railroad, CONNER
cial and other servants

STATE HOUSE

The University of Maine Cadet
Band is to succeed the Bangor Band
as the reular band of the I'd Regi-
ment, N. G. S. NJ. The Bangor Band
retires because of it's decision that
the necessity of keeping an enlisted
strength of 90 men was burden
which imposed too great responsible
ity upon the organization and was :,
requirement SO difficult to meet that
the organization chose to retire. Port
land, Lewiston and Bangor have each
to meet the requirements placed upon
military bands of the n. G. S. NJ. and
with the withdrawal of the Bangor
Band it can be noted that each city
has found the responsibility of pro-
viding a band Of the necessary mum
bers too much Of a burden.
The University Of Maine Band was
given the appointment without solicit
tation and largely because the ap-
pointment Of this organization
seemed the most logical way to meet
the requirements. The L. of NJ.
Cadet Band has recruits every year
both from the incoming class and ad-
vanced classes and can keep up it's
enlisted strength more easily than
any other band in Maine. With it's
new responsibility the band will like
ly enough become more popular and
an increasingly large number of stu.
dent musicians will be candidates for
places with the organization.
The Bangor Band has served the
I'd Regiment for the last six years
The appointment being offered so
near the summer vacation, it was not
possible to recruit quite the required
twenty-nine men this year: but after
a visit and address from Colonel
Hume at a recent meeting of the
Bangor band, this organization voted
to assist the University authorities in
every possible way in launching the
cadet band in the new work. Pres
ident Alley and Lieut. Clark of the
University regard the appointment as
a distinct honor to the cadet band as
well as to the University and have
accepted the assistance of the Ban
gor band, thus making immediate ac-
ceptance possible.
Park Elliott, the present leader Of
the University band, is also a mem
Der Of the Bangor band and has been
enlisted with the latter in the Sec

How You May Change
Your Face Completely

Any woman not satisfied with her COM
plexion can easily remove it and have a
new one. The thin veil of sitting half
dead cuticle is an encumbrance and
should be removed to give the fresh,
vigorous, young skin underneath a
chance to show itself and to breathe.
There's a simple, old-fashioned remedy
which will always do the work. Get an
ounce of pure mercolized wax from your
druggist and apply it at night like cold
cream washing it off in the morning.
The wax will gently absorb all the lifeless
skin and leave a healthy and beautiful
complexion, as fresh as a childs. Nat
urally it takes with it all such facial
blemishes as freckles, tan, moth patches,
sallowness, liver spots, pimples. 1t is
pleasant to use, and economical. The
face SO treated soon looks years younger
To keep the skin free from wrinkles
there's nothing quite SO good as the old
reliable saxolite lotion. 1t is only nee
essary to dissolve an ounce Of powdered
saxolite in half pint of witch hazel and
battle the face in this as required.-Adv.

HOME INDUSTRIES
A FEATURE AT THE
Maine EXPOSITION

One Of the features Of the coming
Maine State Exposition at Portland
will be the splendid collection of ex-
amples of industry in the home, the
shop and in domestic circles. by the
women of the State. This has been
managed by an efficient committee of
women who are now issuing invita-
tons to responsible. wideawake wo-
men Of the State to act as patronesses
during the exposition. The use of these
names will be sought as having an
important bearing on the social sta
tus Of the affair which is in every in
stance being conducted on a high
plane with the sordid side Of com
mercialism suppressed. This is a copy
Of the letter:
May y, 1915.
Dear Madam:
I take pleasure in asking you, in the
name Of the woman's exhibit commit
tee Of the Maine State Exposition, to
act as patroness for the exhibit to be
held June 7-19 in Exposition hall

1t is the intention Of the committee
to make the exhibit representative Of
the work women are doing in the
State, whether in the city or on the
farm, and it is the hope that it will b.
instrumental in bringing about the
organization Of a State Woman's Elk
change.
In asking your support for this ex
hibit we know the value of your time
hut <t1of v;y>
for tho carrying out Of such a plan
and that its value to all women war.

The Returned Maine Battle Flags

BY Moses Owen
Nothing but fags-but simple flags
Tattered and torn and hanging in rags;
And we walk beneath them with careless tread,
Nor think Of the hosts of the mighty dead,
That have marched beneath them in days gone by
With burning cheek, and knding eye
And have bahed their folds with their young fes tide
And diving blessed them, and blessing died.
Nothing but fags-yet methinks, at night
They tell each other their tales of fright |!
And dim spectres come, and their thin arms Irvine
Round each standard torn-as they stand in line.
AS the word is gven-they charge! they form!
and dim hall rings with the battles storm;
And once again, through the smoke and strife,
Those coors lead to Nations life.
Nothing but fags-yet they're bathed with tears;
They tell of triumphs-of hopes-of fears;
Of mothers prayers-of a boy away,
Of serpent crushed-of the coming day.
Silent they speak-and the tear will start,
AS we stand beneath them with throbbing heart.
And think of those who neer forgot
Their flags horne-why they not?
Nothing but fags-yet we hold our breath,
And gaze with at those types of death;
Nothing but fags-yet the thought will come,
The heart must pray though the lips be dumb!
They are sacred, pure and we stain
On those dear loved flags come home again;
Baptised in blood, purest best,
Tattered and torn, they're now at rest
