The Cost Of Living.

One Of the many broken promises Of
the Democratic party is the promise to
reduce the cost of living. We were to
have new freedom. Labor was to
be "emancipated".
The American workman, according to
the President, will have the opportun-
ity to sharpen his wits" in competi-
ton. at the close of the war, with
European and Asiatic labor.

A Bangor man relates a rather curious
experience he had in Cuba. He had made
tour OF the island and before leaving
Havana it occurred to him that he would
bring home few machetes as souvenirs
for friends, who had heard SO much about
these weapons at the time of the Spanish
war. Entering large hardware store he
found a variety of machetes, the prices
ranging from low to high figures. By the
merest chance, before purchasing, he
asked where the instruments were mace,
and to his great surprise the clerk re-
piled: In the State of Maine. U. S. A"
The clerk was not aware that the intend
ing purchaser came from Maine, but the
latter suddenly lost interest in buying
machetes in Cuba which were manufac-
tured in Maine, to bring back to the home
states.

those who were not present missed a
soul-stirring address by Miss M. Fran

of the hardships endured by those
who spread the light to the heather
countries. In addition to Miss Cross
most excellent address there was a
very pleasing musical program.
