SENTIMENT prevails more and more
strongly for an extension of the
draft ages rather than further calls
upon the ages Of 81 and 81. The pres

BILE without serious dislocation of in
dustrial conditions There are large
numbers of men available for military
service between 81 and al, while be-
tween 10 and 81 are perhaps as many,
eager and fully competent for duty.
Extension of the draft ages will pre-

of the selective draft law is to secure
for military service those who can be
spared from the necessary lines of
occupation, and whose enrolment in
the ranks entails the least distress
socially. Eventually the draft ages
will undoubtedly have to be extended,
and it should be done now rather than
later, to widen the field of possible Sc
lection at once and thus minimize by
equalization the drain upon the coun-
try's industrial forces.

A ssERTIoNs of shameless profit

porations in the United States produc-
ing and handbag necessities of life
are brought by the Federal Trade COM
mission in its report to congress. The
governments price fixing methods
have not awaited TO reach these COM
panies and combinations, that have
extracted enormous profits from the
public under the pressure Of war. The
conditions set forth in the commits
sions report should be stopped. War
profiteering on a large or small scale
is in its effect disloyalty to the United
States. 1t weakens the resources of
the people. laying upon them bur-
den they should not be compelled to
bear, and causing them to feel ag-
grieyed and resentful. Ii weakens the
war energies of the nation. II should
be punished as severely as the sedi-
tious utterances of individuals and the
reasonable acts of those hostile to
our cause Food, clothing, leather,
materials of all kinds have advanced
in price beyond any reason and for
no good cause. Certain commodities,
il is true. cost more now to produce
than before the war. Labor is scarce
and in consequence of price boost
ing, is more expensive. A vicious cir
Gle Of cause and effect has been Great
ed and those chiefly responsible are the
corporations that by reason of their
magnitude and scope exert a COM
handing influence in the country's
price market. Corrective legislation
need not be long in the framing or
enactment. Injustice may be done in
few cases by administrative checks,
but there is far less danger of injustice
to the people by price fixing than of
injury TO business interests. After all,
the peoples necessities are of prime
importance and should be conserved
and met first.

Here they are: "The destruction of

BELFAST
Carrier Pigeon Alights in Bel
mont, Rests and Is Fed and
On Its Way, But Eludes Cap

On Sunday carrier pigeon with a
message strapped to its foot stopped
in Belmont and rested on the Gray
farm for some little time and then
went on its way in the direction of
Camden. The pigeon was first no.
ticed as it flew into the barn. One
of the men shut the door and made
an attempt to capture it, when the
bird flew through an open windoW
and alighted on the ridge-pole. 1t
seemed TO be tired out and sat there
for some time. Justin Gray got some
food and spread it on the ground and
the bird flew down and ate hungrily.
1t had strapped to one of its legs a
message of some sort. The bird while
seemingly tame was willy enough not
to let one get near enough to catch
it and after eating flew again to the
top of the barn and rested. Then it
winged its way onward. Whether it
was a government pigeon. pet. or
German spy no one knows. but the
bird was undoubtedly we'll trained.
