The high cost Of living makes little
difference to the mountaineers down In
Tennessee. A Columbus man who
made a trip through that region re-
Gently and remained over night and
through the day at the home Of
mountaineer, was asked to pay 81 for
his lodging and three big meals. And
the head Of the household wanted to
know II the charge was too much. At
each meal enough was set before the
Columbus man to serve five ordinary
men. The mountalneers raise every.
thing they eat and do not worry about
the high cost Of things, because there
Is little they are obliged to buy.-Co-

Local Pact and Fancy.

The recent spectacular fire at Rum.
ford, whereby nearly 10000 cords of
pulp wood was destroyed, has called
attention TO this particular commodity.
When the pulp and paper mills were
built at RumforG il was supposed they
were placed in the middle of a pulp
region where raw material could be had
for an indefinite period of time right at
their doors; but the period of time ap-
pears TO have been shorter than anticl-
pated for they have been importing pulp
wood for some years, and most of the
wood just burned had been dumped from
railroad cars into heap many feet deep
and spread over quite an area. This
material comes by steamer from Nova
Scotia and Newfoundland to Portland,
where it is reloaded on freight cars and
hauled to its destination. People from
this part of Oxford County think of rail
roads mostly in terms of Grand Trunk,
but if they only 60 to Hebron or Buck
field they become aware that the Maine
Central is doing something for the coun-
ty, especially in the way of pulp trans
portation. After pulp steamer arrives
in Portland, trains running In sections
sometimes three or four-trsvel north
over the road, each train composed Of
twenty three rack cars and following 3
big mogul. The pulp wood is cut in
junks two feet long and dumped into
the cars hit-or-miss. Before the war
pulp wood was even imported from Nor
way for these mills.

When one glsnces at the map of Ok
ford County and sees how much OF it is
covered with forest, one would naturally
suppose the fuel question was settled
for all time, SO far as local consumption
is concerned; but such appears to be
error, for long trains of coal follow the
pulp to be used in its macsrstion. or
course we have become used to the coal
in the many years of its use, but now oil
tank cars from far off Tsmpico follow
the coal from Virginia 10 assist in COM
bustion and cut down the high cost of
living, for it seems the poems of Mexico
do not expect as high wages as the
miners of Virginia. Some six or eight
of these tanks proceed over the Range
ley Division of the Maine Central Rail-
road each day for use in the Rumford
mills.

II is not often that the death OF a
worldwide or nation wide man affects a
rural community like Oxford County,
other than he is known as some fsr.away
big man that will be missed by the world
In general and consequently by the in
dividual units no matter where they may
live. Andrew Carnegie came nearer
than the average big man, for his bene-
factions were so widely scattered in so
many different ways. A lover of books,
and in bis youth forced to 60 without
them, he conceived the idea of giving a
library TO any town which cared enough
about il TO make an effort to offset
his generosity. In this way he reached
Oxford County. Then he conceived his
hero medal scheme and there are sew
eral wearers in the county. Also church
organs were rmong his benefsctions
Then there are pensions for college pro-
fessors, which may reach the county
some day, to say nothing of other bene-
factions. The first part of bis business
career has been criticized as those of
other millionaires, but from 1901, when
he decided TO give away most of his for
tune and die poor, he has done much to
countersct any cruelty in his business
transactions. he was accounted to be
the second richest man in America,
Rockefeller being first. Since he began
to give away his fortune be has disposed
of nearly $500, 100000 That meant Civ
ing away the vast sum of $40, 0O0, 900 a
year, or $4,000 day. OF this amount
s53, 00O, 900 went to libraries. He built
them all over the world, one going to
the Fiji Islands. Because of these bene-
factions be will not be forgotten in most
of the localities OF the United States.

This is a yarn about jazz music
"Those OF US who have fancied that ouI
jazz' originated in Uganda or among
the Igorrotes are, according to the latest
news, quite wrong. LIE Matin of Paris
maintains that the jazz band idea origi
mated In Paris 120 years ago. In those
days as well as now it says, people
did not know what to do to amuse them
selves; so they made q noise. Those
who had great taste for noise went 70
the concerts Of the cat orchestra. There
were 20 cats with their heads in q row
on the keyboard of harpsichord. The
performers by striking the keys worke ed
Q device which pulled the cats tails,
causing q caterwauling.'
Mr.. Murray Bigelow, who returned
from overseas last week, as Democrat
readers know, says number OF the boys
will remain in France because of femi-
nine attraction. Others have brought
and will bring their brides with them.
1t seems they found attractive girls In
each of the countries they visited for
among these already landed in their
adopted country are French, Scotch,
English, Irish, German and Russian
The organ of the American Legion is
authority for the statement that $1,000
have already landed.
