Daisy is living example Of what
can be achieved by the law of kind
ness. Nine years ago nobody wanted
her and she was condemned to be
shot. Then John J. Bergh came
along. For $50 and an old horse he
secured possession, and you\ should
see her now, and the medals-some
Of them gold-that have been awarded
her in the annual workhorse parade!
Daisy dotes on her master and will
do anything he tells her to. II he
asks her how old she is she never
hesitates, but unblushingly paws 1t
of on the pavement. She shakes
hands (D with every one Of her four
feet, and If he puts lump Of sugar
between his teeth and tells Daisy just
to suck 1t she will lap 1t carefully and
does not think of trying for the
whole lump until he gives the word.
She picks her bit up from the ground
and does other remarkable things,
and she did them all for the War
Savings Organization, just to show
what she could do and what she was
glad to do to help the good work
along.
Daisy fs now a regularly accepted
member Of the Savings Division and.
whether you recognize her or not as
she goes about, frequently carrying
great boxes Of literature for the War
Savings Committee, you may be sure
that she is on the job and doing
everything she knows how to promote
the sale of Thrift and War Savings
Stamps among the people.

Creamery Business To Be Sold.

1t has been known for some time that
a movement was on foot to secure the
property of the Turner Center Dairyiug
Association for the New England Milk
Producers Association. The latter
organization has an option on the prop
erty which expires Oct. l, and 1t Is
expected that before that time the
arrangements will be completed for the
transfer to the new proprietors.
The Turner Center Dairying Associs-
ton, starting about thirty five years ago
in the CO. operative marketing move Of q
few dairymen Mt Turner Center, later
moved its headquarters to Auburn, and
has constantly been increasing Its busi.
ness, purchasing creameries and estab-
fishing new branches. 1t has now about
twenty five plants in Maine for the hand
ling of milk, cream and butter, and is
capitalized for $500, 900, of which amount
$3.50, 900 has been Issued. The price
named in the option is 0,000, which
is the government valuation, and 10 said
to represent actual visible property,
without including good will or paper
prospects.
E. L. Bradford has been the manager
of the business since 1t started, and 1t 10
understood will be continued In that
position by the new owners.
It 10 designed to make the enterprise,
under the new ownership, real co.
operative affair, 30 that the farmers OF
Maine will own and run 1t.
The stockholders In the present COM
pany will receive some more than double
the psr value Of their stock.

HOW TO BE A CAPITALIST.
Even Small Savings May Be The
Foundation Of q Fortune.

Do you want to be q capitalist!
It's easy.
Hartley Withers in his authorita-
tive textbook Poverty and Waste"
says that Capital is defined by
economists as wealth set aside to be
used in production. A certain amount
Of It is necessary before any indus.
try can begin its work; because in
dustry implies making or growing
something, and, during the process
of making or growing, those who are
at work have to be kept alive out of
a store that has ben set aside
beforehand to that end. Professor
Walkers well known example is that
of a member Of a savage tribe, living
precariously on fish caught from the
rocks which jut into the sea- who
lays I'D store of dried fish, and
keeping himself alive thereon, makes
himself a canoe, and thereafter can
paddle in 1t out to the banks which
lie two or three miles from shore,
where in one day he can get as many
hsh as he could catch from on the
rocks In q week.
"E3fs store of dried fish vas his
capital, which he reserved from con-
sumption and kept to live on while
making his canoe. Having done 30,
he has put his capital into . canoe
and can let 1t out to his neighbors,
taking payment from them In the
form of part of their catch, on which
he can live, while he himself builds
more canoes and sells them In ex.
change for the labor Of the rest OF
the tribe. The point ct which he left
on being mere hand-to- mouth work
er and consumer and became . capi-
talist, was when, instead Of eating
all the fish that he caught, he saved
some and dried them 30 that he
might Be kept alive while he carried
out his canoe-building venture. AT
every step Of its progress, says
Walker again, capital follows one
law. Il arises solely out Of savings."
Every man, woman and child can
lay aside part Of the proceeds OF
his labor, beyond what II necessary
for his present maintenance, and
thus start on the road to capital. The
safest and soundest way Of pnttiHg
aside your dried fish" today lies In
the purchase Of War Savings Stamps.
Nvan the emallest sums can be pu.

Lifting Up the Farmers.

MANY institutions and organizations
are expressing their interest In the well
fare of the farmer and are offering 70
solve bis problems. Many people inter
ssted in such work are actuated by hign
motives; others because it Is proper 10
preach the gospel Of better agriculture,
while some are moved by their own self
ish interests.
We have always abhorred the state
msnt, 1--WE must do something to lift up
the fsrmers.p A statement of this char
acter reveals the mind back OF Ii, shows
it's limitations, and does not appreciate
the kind of men farmers really are.
Farmers are not looking for someone 10
lift them up, but rather for equal oppor-
,uuities with other business men. Inc
person who holds that something must
be done to lift up the farmer 10 rather
bumptious in bis own mind and holds
himself in very high regard. The uiti-
mate and lasting forces which viii I'M
prove agriculture and rural social con-
ditions will come through the farmers

through well organized associations
directed by intelligent leadership. NO
outside institution, organization, or IN
diyidusl will ever be capable OF materisi-
| ly changing the attitude, the practices,
or the social life of the farmer simply oy
doing things for him.

more common than now and it was tne

"Reminiscences from Col. Boothby
WATERvlLE, MAINE, May %.

hdtt0f Uem0cr0:
note from reports in the press that
the grounds between the Grand Trunk
station and the street at South Paris are
being Improved by grading and laying
ont grass plots and flower beds, etc.
Now this pleases me immensely, for OF
course can never forget my boyhood
days were spent In South Paris, and
many is the hour I have spent around
the station and playing in the Square.
But not to make long story, I don't
know 40 you personally are aware that
South Paris owes the filling In around
the station to me, though Joseph Jones
can tell you all about 1t.
When the stately old station structure,
with Alvah Hersey in charge on the pas
senger side and Mr.. Morton on the
freight, was removed, and the new or
present. one built, the unsightly holes
between the two locations were not
tilled, which always troubled me. And
Ii SO happened that when Mr.. McGuigap
was general superintendent or general
manager OF the Grand Trunk, he often
came TO Portland, and sat st my table at
the Falmouth Hotel, where Mrs. Booth
by and lived only thirty-seven years.
mentioned the subject to him and he
said, "Since you take 1t 90 much to heart,
the next time we have gravel train on
that division, We will have the grounds
flled," which he did, and even 80 leng
ago as that the citizens of South Paris
regretted that 1t was not grassed over.
So I am very glad the matter is at last
receiving attention, and hope to view the
spot when next travel that way.
Only q short time ago was reminded
of the many happy hours 10 and around
South Paris, by seeing in the papers the
death Of Daniel D. Sewsll, for when
was q boy bis father was the Congrega-
tional minister at South Paris, and
Daniel D. and his brother William were
firemen on the Grand Trunk. Many is
the mile have ridden with Daniel, and
sometimes on the locomotive "Coos,"
which I always thought such q funny
name, though we boys never gave up our
allegiance to the "Forest City," OF which
Jonas Hamilton was the engineer.
But oil of this for the reason that the
Sewall boys were the inventors Of the
present "Sewall car heating plan,
whereby cars are heated by steam from
the locomotive instead of by stoves, and
their names deserve going down to pos
terity as much as the inventors Of the
cotton gin or sewing machine.

OF course the simplicity of the system,
in place of the present unspeskable
hodge-podge which lays such physical
and mental burden on us, is the chief
argument for 1t, but another Is that the
rest of the world uses 1t, while 1t is q
foreign language to rs. 1t has come
slow, but there are some influences that
are going to help advance 1t. For one
thing, . million or two young men, who
have picked up little French on the
other side, have also learned to some ex.
tent TO think in kilometers and millime-
,ers. and they do not now share the idea
ones entertained by many people that
the metric system was something entire
ly beyond comprehension.
The change will involve some con-
fusion and mental labor, but the sooner
1t is made the less the trouble will be.

Here and There.

The Democrat has been requested by
an interested organization to express Its
approval of action which will lead to the
adoption OF what is known as the metric
system of weights and measures by the
United States and Great Britain, which
1t seems are the only two important
countries not now using 1t. That this
expression OF approval might 60 where
it will do good, we were furnished with
blanks to be filled out, and two stamped
envelopes, one addressed to President
Woodrow Wilson, the Senate and House
Of Representatives Of Congress, the con.
gressional committee on weights and
measures-and we don't now recall
whether there was anything more on the
face of the envelope. The other was ad-
dressed to Mr.. Lloyd George and several
separate bodies and committees of the
British government. The blanks were
promptly signed and mailed in the envel-
opes with their imposing arrays OF ad.
dresses. We don't know what junior
clerk or stenographer or new office girl
may open those envelopes and file the
communications therein contained along
with thousands of others, somewhere In
the dark where no mortal eye will ever
gaze upon them again. We wish they
might get far enough along toward the
parties addressed 80 that they would
add the weight of what ink 1t took to
make the signature to the movement for
adoption Of this simple system.
