WHAT COUNTRY PUBLISHERS
WOULD LIKE TO KNOW

Perhaps there is no profiteering in
paper. If not the country publishers
would like to know why they are not
enabled to make contracts the same as
their brother publishers of the daily
press. They are willing to pay a lit
tie more money in view of the small
amount of paper consumed and for the
difference between sheets and roll pa
per, but there is no such difference as
represented by $50 per ton on one
hand and 5000 on the other. Further
more, why are the mill owners back
ward about telling whether they sell
direct to jobbers and at what prices !?
They have no hesitancy in giving the
price to the large papers, but are si-
lent as the night as to whether they
sell the jobbers or not. Matters have
reached very close to the point where
there must be a showdown and If the
smaller publishers are not given some
where near a square deal the whole
paper situation will be given a public
airing in which the little fellows will
have few friends who will 90 to the
bottom of things. There must be an
end to profiteering.

PEOPLE ON FARMS.
LIVE THE LONGEST

Life on the farm is the healthiest
and safest, according to statistics
compiled by the United States bureau
OF labor showing the average age at
death in various occupations. The
farmer and farm laborer live longer
than any other workers. This does
not seem longer" which, it will be
remembered, is the point in the old
Joke concerning the longevity of mar
req 1oik contrasted with bachelors
ana splnsters-it is longer, and Off
cial research records prove Il. Farm
ers live to the average age of 5as
years, blacksmihs are given three
years less of life, and masons and
brickIayers die at an average ape 81, Of
56. The list tapers down to RooI-
Keepers and office assistants, who are
given an average life Of no more than
36.5 years, s'' s. 800

JUST TWO KINDS OF
/ MEN IN THE WORLD

Financially, there are just two kinds
{ men in the world; those who con-
antly figure upon the principal of
heir money and those who deal with
ae interest on the principal.
The one kind of man throws away
Ten dollars carelessly and says,
Whats the difference. It is only ten
dollar BILL
The other holds on to that ten and
says, Ten dollars is the interest at
per cent on capital Of two hun
dred dollars
One man figures on how much ten
dollars will buy. The other man fig
ures on how much it will cost him to
buy ten dollars.
A difference Of principal and in
terest-that is all.
Yet the principal figure is not the
;l2rincipal figure in life. Indeed, he
lkunts for very little except when he
spending that ten. No one comes
I y him with opportunities. No one
considers him as q possible investor
4 anything good. Money always
fasses him quietly BY,
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1920-04-07

And yet this is all simple habit
of mind. The difference between fl
nancial success and financial failure
is only little trick Of the brain.
And the habit of figuring interest
the habit of figuring every dollar
you spend as the interest on twenty
times that amount at five per cent, is
very easily learned.
Try it now in the personal things
you are going out to buy. If you
need a suit Of clothes, look through
the advertising in this paper. See
where you can save five dollars, and
then say to yourself, II am not mere
~ saving five dollars by buying a
suit Of clothes from this advertise
ment; ! am saving the amount which
one hundred dollars would earn if it
worked at five per cent interest for
whole year."
That's the thing that brings you
to your mutton. That's the thing
that makes you stop and think.
Now these goods sales are going
on all through this paper. You can
save money on anything you buy. Your
clothes, your shoes, your shirts, your
household goods-all offer money
saving opportunities in the sales.
Why, you can save the interest on
at least five hundred dollars if you
will only go at it right. And show
me the man to whom five. hundred
dollars is not a capital worth consid-
ering?
Interest that is the thing to figure
on always. And the way to save
the interest on lot of money is to
watch the advertising in this paper
day by day and do your buying from
these merchants.

year, however, owing to the conditions
he has not raised any. "The daffying
outlook Is not very encouraging and
there is no particular call for livestock, !"

After years of warfare against the
gipsy moth and the brown-tsil moth, the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, through the Bureau of Entomol.
ogy, reports q substantial decrease in
the infested territory. The reduction
amounts to 1924 square miles previously
infested with the gipsy moth and 5,3S5
miles with the brown-tail moth. TWEEN.
ty-eight towns in New Hampshire, 6 in
Vermont, 8 In Massachusetts,, and 10 in
Connecticut, 81 towns in all, were found
to be free from gipsy moth infestation
and were eliminated from the quarantine
area. There is now under quarantine on
account of the gipsy moth, 20,747 square
miles in New England.
Isolated colonies of the gipsy moth
found In previous years in New York,
Ohio, New Jersey and the western part
of Massachusetts, were again carefully
examined, but no infestation was found.
There seems to be no reasonable doubt,
reports the Chief of the Bureau of Ento.
mology, that the insect has been exter-
minated In these colonies. The decrease
in area infested with the brown.tail
moth. includes 81 towns in Maine, SO in
New Hampshire, 6 In Vermont, 81 in
Massachusetts,, and 1c in Connecticut, q

in Washington, D. c., are inspecting the
slaughter houses of Oxford County this
week..
In the centennial celebration of Colby

pirate part. In the pageant, which is
given to-day, consisting of twelve epi-
sodes, the seventh will have relation to
the four preparatory schools of the col.
lege of which Hebron Academy is one.
On the committees are two Oxford Coun-

Hon. Charles P. Barnes of Houlton, for.
merly of Norway, and on the pageant is
Prof. Ernest G. Mariner OF Hebron
Academy.
Mrs. Emma G. Harrington died at her
apartment In Boston June 18th. She
was the widow of the late Colonel E. G.

several important Offices In the gift OF
the county, and was mentioned as q can.
didate for Congress when Hon. William
P. Frye was promoted to the United
States Senate upon the appointment OF
Senator James G.. Blaine as Secretary of
State. For many years he was inspector
of rifle practice for the national guard
on the staff OF several governors. Mrs.
Harrington was Miss Emma G. Healy of

Oxford County is q wood producing
and wood working section of the state
and therefore must be interested In what
might be called wooden statistics gath.
cred. The first wood product in matter
of size is pulp, and the mills at Rumford
furnish considerable quantity of this
article. Notwithstanding the paper
shortage, more pulp is being produced
and more paper made than ever before.
The amount OF pulp wood used In 1918
was 8, $50, ,794 cords. II this amount was
stacked on an acre of ground 1t would
make pile nearly four miles high; and
II the pieces were laid end on end It
would reach from the Atlantic coast to
that OF Japan. The wood working estab.
lishments Of America number 276,0O0
and the number of people employed are
100000. Thus 1t will be seen that
wood and wood working Is an important
industry OF the country, and that the
people Of forest covered Oxford County
can still rap on wood for luck.

Decrease 10 Food Production.

The Federal Land Bank of Springfield,
Mass, OF which Hon. Bertrand G. Nc.
Intire of Norway is . director, has issued
statement predicting serious decrease
In food production in New England and
other northern states.
The statement says that reports from
agricultural districts In all parts of New
England and other northern states indi.
cate serious decrease In food produc-
ton this season. This decrease is due to
an acute shortage of farm labor, coupled
with transportation d ficultiss, and
grealy delayed supply of seeds, fertilizers,
and equipment necessary for the spring
planting. This shortage is having the
effect of decreasing production in crops
and livestock and lowering the morale
of the agricultural class.

Expect a Bumper CROP.

The farmers and blueberry growers Of
Jonesport have been busy getting ready
for cultivating the berry fields by burn
ing over the fields. The report is that
some of the best burns for many years
have been obtained, which means that
next year, With frosts eliminated, o
bumper crop will result. =.
About 5000 acres have been burned
over, which is approximately half of the
ground under cultivation. 1t is the plan
to burn over half of the field each year
so as to give good crop each season.
The blueberry season ID short, about six
weeks, and as thousands of dollars are
made in that time, whole families 20 to
