OCCUPATION AND CONQUEST

As was to be expected and as may be expected, tue winter German peace drive continues with unabated vigor. Its manifestations in Germany indicate clearly enough the frantic necessity of the case. Nothing like 1t. in fact has been seen since the copperhead cam paign to defeat Lincoln In 1894 It has been pointed out In this place that the normal objections to compromise peace arc insuperable. In our awe of the German war machine we have not sufficiently appreciated the mili- rary objections.
 That machine. reasoning after the manner of the unique German mind, from n false major premise to logical conclusion, confuses military ocupation with conquest. The African colonies of Germany, fer example. are not to any serious extent under military occupa- ton. But they are conquered In the real sense of the term. There has been . genu nc transfer of go Jerrment by ccnsent of the governed, B. fa4 as that coraent is erticulate. and iA'aeion and rA7orquest would be laetl.sry 10 change the conditions.
 But Belgium and Northern France have not been conquered. They have k-a fnA tr ifa with remorseless severity and utterly gratuitous cruelty; but 30 long as Pe- tain and Haig are hammering the German lines there Is no conquest. The challenge to look at the map" therefore. involves faNacy. This, in- deed, must be well within the know ledge of the German general staff. but is by no means so clear to the layman.
 In 1745 Prince Charles Edward in- vaded England and carried his follow CTS as far as Derby. Suppose, then. he had invited King Georges government to Too at he map," and settle on that basis? General Wade and tho duke Of Cumberland rectified the map in due course.

 When tho prize lighter feels him self approaching exhaustion, he hopes he is able to conceal. 1t is a favorite device to ask his opponent if he has had enough.

TIRE MEN ANNOUNCE \ SAVAGE SERVICE
 CREED' AT MEETING

conference of Savage branch sales managers was recently held at the home office of the Savage Tire corporation, at San Diego. Cal, for the purpose of discussing sales plans for the year. The chief topics dis cussed were, how to improve Savage service to tire users. and how to induce greater number of car own CTS to accept this service. These dis cussions were, undoubtedly, prompted by the adoption of the Savage Serv- ice Creed, announced by the Savage people a few days ago.
 Service, in connection with automo- bile tires and tubes, is of the utmost importance. The proper care of tires and tubes would save a big percent age of the millions of dollars spent monthly by car users To assure proper care of tires. manufacturers and tire dealers must give, not only timely and helpful advice, but real service to tire users. All realize this, and the word service is probably
 used more on tire signs and in tire advertising, than in any other way.
 Conservation is now the popular
 topic. Papers and magazines are filled with economy talks. These with offers like that made in the Savage Service Creed, of unconditional free service, are bound to increase the
 number of motorists who will avail | themselves of the help offered to them by manufacturers and tire
 dealers. The Savage Service Creed, | while of special interest to motor ists, is of interest to everyone.
 According to M. P Redondo, the local Savage sales manager he and his company realize that tires are bought for the mileage they give | Mileage is the first consideration, SC
 the first step decided upon in the | Savage conference, was to set the quality standard for Savage tires and tubes higher than ever before The | Savage people will not stop here, bu! they are going to go to the limit in helping patrons get the mileage and | satisfaction out of Savage products No conditions are attached to the Savage offer of free service. Accord | ing to Mir. Redondo, all who use tires l and need help of any kind, are well come to it and are invited to ask | for it.

ADJUNCT ID MODERN HOTELS FILLED BY
 WILLIS KNIGHT CAB

The service a hotel renders is no longer confined within it's four walls. It has broadened in scope until this service meets the patron at the sta tion, helps in making business en- agreements and social calls with pune tuality and dispatch. and speeds the departing guest on his way.
 To render a service which measures up to the standards of the hotel it. self, it's taXicabs must be as de- pendable as it's elevators, in appoint ment they must be on a par with it's finest rooms. The hotel patron must step out of one palace into another.
 That is why the Willys- Knight taxicabs have met with such instant approval. Why the leading hotel managers find in their construction and interior arrangements, just what they require in dependability and re- finement. They are not converted passenger cars but were built for this special service. The Willys- Knight sleeve valve motor makes them not only smooth running, but this motor actually improves with use.
 The two great fleets of Willys- Knight taXicabs, one of 55 owned by the La Sale Hotel in Chicago and one of 162, owned by the Wescott Express company of New York are well known to travellers.
 Ernest J. Stevens, vice president and manager of the Hotel La Sale who has had wide experience with this service is enthusiastic in his praise of the Willys-Knight taXicabs Stevens says that the motors are quiet, powerful and efficient, thor oughly dependable and surprisingly economical in operation and upkeep.
 Tn six months,'' says Stevens after the hardest kind of service the motors have noticeably improved witt use. In appearance, construction serviceability and durability we know of no car which would be as satis. factory in the steady grind of taxi cab service as the Willys-Knight." MT. Stevens declares that if tho automobile buying public knew as h' | has learned the advantage of tn, | Willys-K Knight taxicabs that it is hi: belief the demand for it would fal ! exceed production possibilities.

Type of Tractor Sent Abroad by U. s.
 Food Administration

American tractors-1500 of them sent by the U. $. Food Administration, will battle hunger in France. When spring comes they will be in the field. They will help the French to grow S2,0OO, 900 more tons of food.
 The idea of reinforcing the waning agricultural strength of France with American tractors originated with Henry Morgenthau, Jr. The Food Ad- ministration has designated Henry Morgenthau, jr., to follow the machines to France and put the in oper- ation. The first 100 tractors were sent to France on the deck of naval trans port and the entire number will Teach there in plenty of time for spring blow ing.
 The tractors will operate mainly in the battle scared portion of northern France, which has been retaken from the Germans. There property lines have been largely obliterated. The fields are consequently large and the batteries of tractors will be able to work most effectively. Thus in few months food crops, especially wheat and potatoes. will be growing in French soil plowed by American tractors-soil

TIMES RESPONSIBLE
 FUR COST INCREASE
 SAYS CHALMERS MAN

America demands the genuine old fashioned. high priced peace-"Not made in Germany And that means there is no short cut to victory, said T. J. Toner recently.
 of in needing these demands, the government continues to insist on a stacking of manufacture, the automo- bile industry must respond. But such n drastic order immediately increases our overhead expenses and a raise in price is inevitable.
 'It should be made clear that such a raise is no arbitrary action on the part of the manufacturers. The public should understand that such a move is but the natural sequence of prevailing conditions.
 "The government at Washington has plenty of money; raw materials arc abundant-but labor is at a premium There has been a drainage on man. power the world over, and there is a serious shortage of workingman pow CT in the United States.
 "The great Maxwell plants could readily maintain normal production and at the same time turn out tractors for the government The highly ef- ficient Chalmers factory could easily
 
 still manufacture vast storehouses of munitions for Uncle Sam.
 Both of these things could be ac- complished perhaps without effectine the supply of money or materials-but not so with men. It is manpower that the government seeks to conserve.
 Motor car production at anything less than maximum must force prices upwards Therefore a lessening o1 production is the most compelling factor which automobile builders have to confront this year.
 "Slackening of output means tha 1918 quality must sell at the quantity prices of 1915 or maybe even as higl as 1912. In other words the manu. facturer must go back to the perioC when less cars were built and highe prices prevailed.
 To this penalty for curtailment. mus be added, the present day scarcity an, price of materials; and the inadequat supply of labor. For these reasons a part of the problem to victory, tn automobile industry have to accep such orders with all the attendinj problems of decreased production am increased price.
 A year ago few would have believe, that the peace loving industrious Amer ican democracy would or could adap Itself to the rigors and sacrifices o war. But the spirit and accomplish ments of America at war, will go dow as one of the sensations of the twen tieth century.
 What America has done, its thir greatest industry has done and wi continue to accomplish in a propor tionate degree. The men that hay stood behind the automobile industr in the face of panics. financial flurrie

and periods of depression, are not the men to lay down today when business and victory need them most.
 There may be q scarcity, but there is no scare, among the leaders. The industry may mark time, but it will never halt.
 Sales during 1918 attained new high records. There will be two and perhaps three demands for every car on the dealers floor. High prices have as yet never stopped a selling campaign. There is not a foreign country that has not gone ahead buying cars; and American makes imported despite the special war time duties, reach as high as forty and fifty per cent.

Butter and Strawberries

VIM. NJ Wallace came from Caribou
and bought the Thomas Smith place,
four and one-half miles from Nor
ridge in East Mercer, ten years ago.
He had been a potato buyer in Aroos
took county, working, good deal of
the time, for j. c. Bagley, who after
wards moved to Skowhegan, where
his death occurred something like two
years since. On coming to Mercer,
Mr. Wallace went into potato grow
ing, averaging about 25 acres year
for about eight years. In 1916 he got
a little discouraged on the potato
question, or, at any rate, decided to
change his 100 acre farm into dairy
business. Since that time, he has
built up fine herd Of eight cows and
five heifers, Jersey and Guernsey
grade. For a time he disposed of
his produce through the creamery,
but more recently has been making
butter, his present output being 80
pounds per week. chiefly marketed
through John Currier OF Skowhegan
and Verd Cunliff of Smithheld
In 1917, Mr.. Wallace had an acre
and a quarter of Strawberries, Senator
and Warfeld, from which he harvest
ed 1900 baskets, all OF which were
marketed through c. W. Day of Show
hegan. This year. he has one acre.
from which he has already gathered
1000 baskets These also have been
disposed Of through the Days Luxury
Store. The weather is rather bad for
the strawberry business. Some of
the berries, this season, have rotted
before they ripened, and others rot
of at the stem. Unless conditions
improve, he does not expect to get
quite the yield he had last year.
Mr.. Wallace uses a Ford automobile
for hauling his product to market He
can take nine bushels OF berries at
one trip

The Old Red SchOOlhOuse at LarOnt
1918

One of the old landmarks in Larone
still left from ye ancient times is the
old red schoolhouse formerly known
as Writings, built nearly one hundred
years ago and by subscription. The
house was used, not only for the vii
lage school but also for house OF
worship and otherwise, and for all
country gatherings, including writing
schools and the now not familiar
spelling schools. And in this con-
nection we are carried back to the
time of Uncle Erastus Delano, good
old Quaker of unimpeachable, If
quaint characteristics who was wont
to attend the spelling matches with
the younger (only in years. people. At
one evenings session when it came to
spelling down (as it was called on
proper names, Uncle Rastus took up
the spelling of old Bible names; and
as he was a thorough Bible student
he could spell, as some thought, from
sunset to sun up and then some. But
be that as it may Uncle Rastus had
the floor to himself after all the
others were down and the name he
last spelled was Habakkuk although
he did not spell 1t as the little lad in
Sunday school did which ran some
thing like this and spelled quickly

This house has an interesting his
tory in many ways, and it is not to be
wondered at that it has been the
theatre of many an escapade. Many
time has the stove failed to draw
and the room been filled with smoke
because of the cover placed over the
top of the chimney during the prev
ious night But all this was to be
expected and was considered part of
the curriculum. At one time, owing
to a difference of opinion as to the
punishment of certain scholars there
came very near being a small war.
This was carried to the parents, and
in order to hinder the school the win
dows were all taken out and hid deep
in the woods where after much search
ing they were found and replaced. AS
time had somewhat healed the breach,
the difference was patched up and the
school started again under the same
management of one Bigelow from
Smithfield. This house was origin
ally built for a schoolhouse and had
the high straight back seats that
were made expressly for torture. The
seats themselves were very narrow
and hinged so that it was almost an
impossibility to arise from them
without lifting and turning back the
seat as you arose. After years OF
