One of the "reminiscences Of the
late Mrs. Sarah Goss of Danville
Junction. which she always took
great delight in recalling. was the
time wnen a few years ago. she took
part in an <old-fashioned spelling
match. Mrs. Goss was charter
member of Danyille grange. and a
regular attendant at the meetings
The spelling was held as a part Of the
grange festivities. Students from the
Auburn and Lewiston schools were
present, including some from Bates
college. who accepted the invitation
to join in the spelling match. Feel
ing that Mrs. Goss would not be in
terested except as spectator, no
mention was made at first of her par
ticipating. But at the first invitation
she promptly took her place. The
spelling match began and Mrs. Goss
held her own, though. as she said
afterwards. Z had not looked in
spelling book for 40 years" One by
one the contestants sat down, de-
feated. Mrs. Goss continued to spell
and sat down at the end only because
there was nobody left to spell
down"

More Pay for the Army and Nav,

More Pay for the Army and Navy.
The personnel of the army and
navy do not 90 on strike for more
pay. Not one Of them would even
consider such a course. But they do
resign from the service. Why? Be-
cause the rate Of pay is not sufficient
to maintain them and their families
in decsncy.
The pay scale has not been revised
since 1905. while living costs have
risen over 100 PER cent Some of the
officers have ben obliged to let their
insurance policies lapse because they
could not pay the premiums. Single
men can get along. but married men
are unable to provide properly for
their wives snc children. More than
2ooe o@esrs hsve resigned from the
regular army. Naval losses are dis
qufetingly close. As usual, It is the
best men who are leaving, men who
posseD energy and ability which
thav are able to turn to more profit
abb account elsewhere.
The county cannot afford to lose
these men. Efficiency and morale
must not be allowed TO suffer from
'neagre pay. General Pershing
brought the matter to the attention
Of the House and Senate Military AZ
fairs committees last month, pointing
out that thee xperienced men of the
late war are the most valuable and
should be given increased pay, addi-
tional rations and . larger allowance
for commutation Of quarters. General
Edwards recently wrote that "a man
who accepts a commission today il
taking a vow Of poverty and his fam
lily will have to grow up with less
comfort than the average 'laborer's
wife and children"
What will Congress do about il?
IT il the younger men who are leay-
ing for better positions than a life in
the military service now offers. The
older men realize that they could not
command much more in the business
world and are holding on for retired
pay. The future Of the army and
navy depends on the younger men
II they continue to 60, there will be
n poorer army and a weakened navy
ten years hence. The exodus cannot
ne stopped any too soon.

were driven there. In the new
Iowa law, there is what is known
as a reciprocal provision, which, IN

which non-residents live require
similar action on the part of Iowa
citizens. If the proposed amend
ments to section eight, the cost OF
double license taxes for the people

heavily on those who operate

ut is reported that the Wiscon-
sin legislature rejected the plan to
SO heavily tax motor vehicles to
raise funds for good roads, but in
place thereof, increased the rate of
taxation on all property something
like four-tenths of q mill. Inas-
much as good roads will benefit
everybody and all property, II
would seem more suitable to tax
all property, real estate as well as
personal property. rather than to
impose an unequal burden on a
