It is rumored he used money belong

Is it not enough that Bulgaria

northern part of Thrace with its
Greek culture and Greek refined pop

crime that she was permitted by the

expected to last indefinitely Aside from his public
achievements his personal force and neghborness OF
heart had made him like personal friend TO mil

He has LETT his mark the worlds map in the

In the first place he has made politics for profit right

And in the second place, the "big business" which
reaped large profits expense OF the laborers and

Mus,c's Value In Home.

Music is so general in its inspiring
appeal TO our better emotions that we
cannot afford to neglect its cultivation
In the home. Few mothers realize the
Importance of training and association
IN this direction. One ventures to say
that many men and women have been
impelled to right living and accom-
pllshment of high ideals by the intan-
glble strain of music that runs like
bright thread Of sentiment through the
stress of busy days. Mechanical piano
players and other ingenious musical
devices threaten less personal partici-
patton In a onetime pleasure.

From the Lewiston Me- Journal
To be forewarned Should mean to
be forearmed. As soon as the Ger
handmade bolsheviki are driven
from Russia they will be certain to
seek refuge here, where their dis
organizing and murderous work can
be continued. To prevent this
should be one of our first efforts and
drastic immigration law should be-
enacted. This cannot be done too
soon. German propaganda is already
at work trying to create sympathy
and sentiment for the open door.
The more Teuton and Russian boil
sheviki that can be admitted the
better the prospects of these arch
traitors. Eternal vigilance will be
the only hope Of liberty in the
future. { We already have a ire
mendo1s problem before us in set
