Road to Happiness.

Be amiable, cheerful and good
natured and you are much more
to be happy. You will
find this difficult, if not impos-

improve the appetite and streng-

business here with his father, the late
Simon Page. then with another Hallowell
boy from the same store he made Chicago
his home, where he was at one time one
of it's wealthiest and most enterprising
citizens The great Chicago fire swept
away home, store and warehouses, but
bravely he began life anew. often saying
he would make his fortune in the West
but hoped to come back to the East to
spend it, and in these later years has been
happy in the home built by his father for
his bride, a daughter Of DR.. Benz. Fage.
Although Mr.. Page had grown very deaf
and lame, his cheerfulness was wonder
full and many on our streets and In our
stores win miss his smile and greeting
while the children on Lincoln ST. Will
miss his greeting. There was always
candy In his pockets for them, though
could you hear what they say. you would
know It was not only for the candy they
loved him. Mr.. Page was the last TO go
of four young men once so popular In the
social and business life Of this city. VIII

FRENCH TAXES
Show a Small Increase
Thus Far
Condition Disclosed by New In
come Tax Investigations

Paris, May 1.-the report Of the finance
committee Of the Chamber Of Deputies on
the bill providing for a new income tax
as a substitute for all other direct taxes,
shows that the war has caused compare
lively small increase in taxes In france
thus far. 1t emphasizes the purpose 70
effect a peace settlement which will i'm
pose upon Germany the chief burden OF
meeting the enormous expenditures result
ing from the war. The report shows that
taxes in England increased during the
war from IS to LIS francs per capita while
the increase In France was from IS to 1o5
francs. Finally. the report continues. let
US remember that we must impose upon
our enemy considerable part Of the bur-
den of this horrible conflict provoked by
them alone. We must have a peace that
pays. Refrigeration into our country Of
territories wrent he'd from US in the war
Of 1870 will aid us in repairing many
ruins. We should know also to what eX-
tent the Central Empires will be able to
pay us on the money the irdemnities they
will be compelled to render to US and our
allies.
1t will be necessary to have com ensa-
ton in kind, such as the mines of Sarre
in German Lorraine. and guarantees such
as financial control of customs. ports,
forests, railroads, mines and other ma
tional domain of the enemy which will
serve as pledges for annual obligations
we should require in case insufficient in
IDENTITIES are paid in cash.
In reparation for the damages caused
in the invaded sections we will require OF
Germany immediate restitution in kind OF
machines, stocks, merchandise. lumber
and materials of all kinds that have been
stolen from our unfortunate people, and
also that the towns and villages destroy
ed by a criminal race of barbarians shall
be rebuilt by German hands. We shall
insist, in addition. that ships of the Ger
man fleet shall be delivered to us to re-
place those sunk by the pirates.

GARDINER HUMANE
SOCIETY ACTIVE

A letter has been received by the
Humane Society of Gardiner from the
American Red Star Animal Relief. 1t
was written in reply to letter ask
ing the association in what way the
Humane Societies could be most help
full during the war. The letter stated
that one of the most important needs
is the raising of a fund to procure
trained veterinarians, properly equip
ped with supplies, base and field hos
pitfalls and ambulances. The great diff
ficulties England had in the sudden
mobilization of large masses of horses
and mules ought to prove to us the
necessity of acting, and acting at once
along these lines. 1t Is greatly desired
that the people of Gardiner become in
terested in the above cause and join
the local society. There are no dues
BY paying 81, one becomes life men,
Der and great help in meeting the re-
quirements of the American Red Star
Animal Relief. Names can be sent to

ARRAIGN LADS
FOR THIEVING

Three young lads between the ages
of IL and Is were arraigned Thursday
afternoon in the municipal court be-
fore Judge Atkins charged with the
larceny of metal from the plant of the
kennebec Leader. The loot consisted
of several brass galleys which the boys
had rendered worthless by bending
and quantity of pig lead used in the
linotype machines. The boys admitted
their shortcomings as they were dis
covered by Officer Mooers with the
goods in their possession. They had
not planned the affair and the THEFT
was due to the lure of the movies. II
was only the fact they had all borne
good reputation and a full realiza-
ton of their deed and its consequences
was now theirs, together with the fact
that the owner of the stolen property,
Mr.. Bowler. was willing to forgive the
lads. as he believed that they had
learned their lesson. that made Judge
Atkins so lenient that he placed the
boys on probation.
