about three months ago, president Wood
said that in 1919, the company paid the
government in taxes, more than five
times the amount of the dividends,
which was equivalent to saying that the
income taxes, the excess profit taxes and
the petty taxes were more than SS4, 000,-
have $40, 800, 900 as the profits of opera
ton for one year. The government held
the bag for little more than SO per cent
of this enormous sum, and the stockhold-
ers got little less than II per cent. We
do not think the American Wooden Co.
will be brought to bar for profiteering

THE Work He SAYS
TANLAC OVERCAME TROUBLE HE
HAD BEEN TRYING FOR YEARS
TO GET RIO OF.

"Tanlac has done the work for me and
l don't mind saying so; in fact it does me
good to tell people what fine medicine
l have found it to be-" said Charles B.
Place, II School Street, Portland, Maine,
while telling friends recently of his re-
markable Improvement. Mr.. Place is
carpenter by trade, has lived in Portland
practically all his life and is the oldest
member of the local No. 974, United
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of
America.
"For years and years l had suffered
from chronic Indigestion, and it seemed
that no matter how careful was about
what ate had to pay for it in suffering
afterwards. 1t was out of the question

sour all the time and was never free
from gas. l suffered terribly from heart
palpitation, and my breath would get so
short had to fight for air. If ate any

taking laxatives all the time. l tried
everything anybody told me, but nothing

that will do the work and that's Tanlac.

ago, but already it has completely reliev-
ed me of the troubles that Pve been try
ing for years to get rid Of My appetite

MONROE.

Mrs. Carrie E. Hobbs closed a very
successful term of school in the Pattee
district July End. This very enthusiastic
teacher won the hearts of her pupils, and
the sincere appreciation of the parents by
the unfailing interest she displayed in the
school. During the term she organized a
School Improvement League, and from
the dues paid into the League, and the re-
ceipts of two entertainments, she and
the pupils purchased new paper for the
school-room walls. Mrs. Hobbs contrib
uted several appropriate pictures for the
walls. The exercises on the closing day
proved that neither pupils nor teacher
had been idle during the eleven weeks
passed. The pupils showed very mark
ed Improvement in lessons and general
interest. 1t is with sincere regret that
we learn that Mrs. Hobbs could not come
back to us in the fall, as she expects to
leave for California in September or Oc-
tober.

Central Maine Power Company

The good weather Of the past few weeks
has enabled the construction force of the
Central Maine Power Company to make
wonderful progress toward the completion
of the power house substructure at Show
hogan.
For the month of June an average of
almost hundred cubic yards of concrete
placed daily and as there are only about
thousand cubic yards yet to be placed,
this part of the structure should be COM
pleted by the middle of July.
AS long ago as last November, when
only the preliminary plans were ready, a
progress schedule was proposed, showing
at what stage of completion each month
should find the work
1t is very creditable to the engineers
who proposed the schedule and to the
construction crew who have carried on
the work, that in spite of the very severe
winter, the continued high water and
the embargoes and delays in freight ship
ments, that July first finds the work well
along.
Almost as difficult as the constru ction
work is the securing of the materials
and of having them transported after
they have been purchased. 1t has been
founl necessary to send men as far West
as Detroit and Cleveland to see that ap-
paratus and material were not only
pushed through the shops, but were load
ed on the cars. Even then the difficult
ties were not over, and the only way to
be sure of deliveries was to have man
actually follow the cars through from
junction point to junction point and see
that they did not get side tracked.
In this way the base OF the turbine was
secured and was landed in Skowhegan
recently. This base is the foundation of
the water wheel and is a circular cast
thirteen feet in diameter and weighing
20 tons. One-half of this casting was
towed through the streets of Skowhegan
to the power house. 1t needed the COM
bined tfactive force of the large steam
roller kindly loaned by the city of Show
hogan and of a gasoline traction engine
to transport this casting. 1t will be nee
essary to lower this cotton mass of iron
thirty feet to the top of the draft tube and
set 1t exactly to position for both line and
grade within hundredth of an inch.

Have You a Bad Back?
If You Have, the Statement of this Belfast
Resident Will Interest You,

Does you back ache, night and day;
Hinder work; destroy your rest?
Does it stab you through and through
When you stoop or lift or bend?
Then your kidneys may be weak
Often backache is the clue
Just to give you further proof,
The kidney action may be wrong.
If attention is not paid
More distress will soon appear.
Headaches, dizzy spells and nerves,
Uric acid and its ills
Make the burden worse aud worse.

Reach the inward cause at all;

What they say you can believe.

FREEDOM.

|. P. Critics has sent to the treasurer
of the Waldo County Hospital fifty dol
lars, the net receipts of the carnival and
confetti dance given in Freedom July
End. The affair was pronounced by all
present one of the best times ever gwen
in the town. When the drive was on last
winter to raise funds for the hospital, MIR.
Critics was appointed the committee for
Freedom, but could not give it attention
at that time. The affair last Friday
night is the result of the Freedom con-
tribution. Mr.. Critics wishes to thank
the good people of Belfast who came out
to entertain and help make it the success
that it was, also to thank all workers and
patrons of the dance for their interest
and help. A few more dances are plan
ned during the summer in few towns in
the upper end of the county and he hopes
to raise one hundred dollars for his con-
tribution for the hospital. Mr. Critics
was a patient in the hospital several
years ago when he had an operation per-
formed for a broken knee cap. Persons
who know how active he is at the present
time, will see why he has such an interest
in the institution. Mr.. Critics was the
original promoter for the annual donation
week, having started it when a resident
of Liberty many years ago. 1t was the
custom to have a harvest festival in the
village church when the farmers con-
The general donation week in the county

THE BUDGET

Briefly defined, the budget for nation,
a state or a town, presents an authenti-
Gated statement of the financial condition
of the nation, state or town, followed by
the opinion of the committee on budget
as to what specific appropriations are
necessary, having due regard for efficiency
of service and wise economy. We bave,
in this state, very good budget law.
Our fiscal period is two years beginning
on June 80 following the regular biennial
sessions of the legislature. The making
of our state budget is in the hands of
committee known as the committee on
budget and consists of the governor, the
state auditor, the state treasurer, the
chairman of the committee on appro-
priations and financial affairs on the part
of the senate and the chairman of SINH
lar committee on The part OF the house.
During the month of October preceding
the regular biennial session of the legis-
latpre all heads of departments, lnstltu-
tons. boards and individuals who are to
be entrusted with the expenditure OF pub
lie moneys, must file, with the secret airy
of the committee on budget, written
statements showing in detail the amounts
appropriated and expended during the cur
rent fiscal period of two years and writ
ten estimate of what they consider to be
necessary expenditures by each during
the next fiscal period of two years, to-
qether with the estimated income. On
the third Tuesday of November preced-
ing the regular biennial session
of the legislature the law requires
that the committee on budget shall
meet at the state capitol and pro-
ceed to make budget showing what
amounts of money, in their opinion, are
REQUIRED for the proper conduct of the
business of the state. The committee is
authorized to visit departments, institu-
tions and undertakings for which appro-
priations are requested, for the purpose of
investigation and may hold hearings As
part of the budget there shall be includ-
ed an estimate of the revenue of the state
for the ensuing fiscal period and report
of the expenditure of state funds during
the current fiscal period. Statements
shall also be made showing the total
valuation of taxable property in the state
as compiled by the state assessors, the
rate Of taxation required to meet the ap-
prcDrjations, and the estimated income of
the state for the ensuing fiscal period
The budget is to be transmitted to the
legislature not later than the fifth day Of
the session, and all papers filed with the
secretary of the committee on budget
shall be transmitted, upon request, to
legislative committees. From he above
it can be readily seen that our state
budget is made by men of high standing
and in closest touch with the affairs and
needs of the state. 1t gives our >legis-
lators foundation on which to build and
is a cheek to extravaganza in the expen-
diture of public funds. Congress, after
much elaboration, passed very good
bill providing for national budget sys-
tenn The President vetoed it. Why
should we worry about that? 1t is not
worth while to lock the stable door after
the horse has been stolen.

EXCESS PROFITS

The principal mills of the American
Wooden Co. have been running on half
time for few weeks and Mr.. William A.
Wood, president of the company, has an
nounced that they are to be closed for an
indefinite period. Mr.. Wood says that
the stoppage is made necessary by the
cancellation of orders filled or ready to be
filled, and curtailment of orders for
next seasons goods A great many PEG
pie are wearing old clothes. Perhaps
they have money but are angry because
greedy hands have been so brazenly and
deeply thrust into their pockets. They
are in rebellion and are resolved to buy
only when absolutely necessary. This is
what has caused the closing of these
mills. Federal charges have been made
that the American Wooden Co. has been
profteering, but president Wood does not
appear to be very much frightened Prob
ablv he remembers when we "had the
GOODS on the packers" and the air was
filled with threats and buster. We con-
TESS we do not know exactly what prof.
teering is, but we have gathered a few
facts about the American Wooden Co.,
from authentic sources. The company
has capitalization of 1000, 900, made
up of $4,000, 900 of preferred stock and
$40, 600, 900 common stock, all owned by
1900 stockholders, and there is no bond
ed debt. The preferred stock receives
dividend of per cent which annually
totals $4,000, 900. Since April Is, 1916,
the common stock has received dividends
amounting to per cent each year, and IN
addition to that received Feb. l, 1919, an
extra dividend of per cent and two
months later another extra dividend OF
10 per cent, making total of 20 per cent
dividends paid to the owners of common
stock, and amounting to 81, 600 600. The
cash total of dividends paid in 1919 to the
stockholders was $500, 900. How much
addition was made to the reserve fund
during that year we do not know, but the
total reserve fund of the company is more
than $50, 600, 900, more than half its entire
Capitalization. In an address delivered to
