NATIONAL GUARD M
 CANNOT MAKE TRIP Y

Washington, December 16.-(SpecialD In respect to the petitions of national guard units of the several states, the war department made known to Con- gress today that no provision had been made for the transportation of such troops to Washington for Inauguration purposes.

At the same time, the de- partment declared its intention of con ferring with Congress to the end that a small contingent of picked troops from each state might be brought to Washington. Practically every mem Der of Congress had addressed the de- partmenty in behalf of national guard units, The outlook, with Congress in it's present penurious mood. is regarded as dark.

 Citizens of Mississippi town have sent gsome cotton to Germany to be made into [cloth there and accounting to be made after the cloth was sold. Consul George A. Anderson, writing from Rotterdam, in his report to the department of com merce, mentioned this sound way of getting around the debased German mark:
 A proposition made by German cement factory to American inter- ests, who are anxious to secure ce- ment in Europe, provides for an ar rangement whereby Americans shall send to German cement mak- CTS supply of coal on credit for such time as may be necessary to manufacture cement. Other ma- terials for the manufacture of ce- ment will be bought in Germany by the cement makers as agents for the American importers and at fixed rate of commission or profit on the output manufactured from supplies thus furnished. .sss
 This method is being followed in an increasing number of cases and is being favored by some of the best German banks. Various Neither lands interests are following this method of doing business not only in cement but in many other lines of manufacture.
 Neither is Great Britain opposed to t111s method of doing business where the or dmary one does not apply. The same authority writes:
 Arrangements havebeen made by various British interests whereby there is practically anlagreement on the part of the German manufactm- CTS to manufacture goods for ac- count of the British or other interests out of raw material furnished by the the latter and for percentage of the goods as commission or profit Most of the work in this line has been done by the British cotton interests, who have arranged to furnish Ger man cotton mills with raw cotton and take from them cotton yarn manufactured therefrom, the Ger man manufacturers retaining a. portion of the yarn as their payment for the use of their plant, of their la bor and fuel outlays and other costs ofmanufacture

DEMOCRATIC TEXT BOOK
ARRIVES IN WASHINGTON
Praises Party Nominee and Wal
lops Senator Harding and Re-
publican Congress.

The democratic text book, issued by
the democratic national committee.
reciting the achievements of the
party and the promises of Gov. Cox.
the party's nominee for President.
has been received in Washington. It
contains also a severe arraignment Of
the republicans and their presidential
nominee.
In appearance the democratic text
book is very like that issued by the
republican national committee for
the present campaign. But that and
the fact that both of the campaign
text books contain the democratic and
republican platforms printed in paral-
lei columns is as far as the likeness
goes.
Harding Nuggets" so called, strike
the eye almost as the book opens.
They are quotations from Harding
speeches and editorials of the last few
years. the reprinting of which is in
tended to embarrass the republican
nominee. He is quoted as attacking
in scathing terms Theodore Roose-
welt and Hiram johnson.
Biographies of both Gov. Cox and
Franklin D. Roosevelt occupy promi-
nent positions in the democratic text
book, and their speeches accepting
their respective nominations. The
records of achievement by the demo-
cratic party and the republican party
are also printed in parallel columns.
The republican text book, while it
mentions the league of nations cove
nant, does not publish the text of
that document 1t is given in full in
the democratic text book. Winning
the war is discussed for hundred
pages or more: also the federal reserve
system. the Newberry case, the
charges of excessive campaign ex-
penditures by candidates for the re-
publican presidential nomination.
The democrats take credit for the
ratification of the woman suffrage
amendment by Tennessee, a demo-
cratic state. the thirty-sixth state
to put it's seal OF approval on the
constitutional amendment. The re-
publican Congress is called the do
nothing Congress-" and as such is
ridicuied in the text book. A chapter
is given to discussing what the dem.
ocrats have done for labor.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure catarrhal
deafness, and that is by a constitutional
remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused
bv an intlamed condition Of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inGlamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it
is entirely closed, Deafness is the result.
Unless the Inflammation can be reduced
and this tube restored to It's normal con-
dlton, hearing will be destroyed forever.
Many cases of deafness are caused by
catarrh, which is an inflamed condition
OF the mucous surfaces. HALLS Catarrh
Medicine acts thru the blood on the
mucous surfaces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that can

CAPT. JAMES P. BUTMAN.

Capt. James P. Butman was born Feb.
10, 1848, the son of Capt. William and
Margaret A. Butman of Searsport. He
first went to sea in 1868, going as sailor
on the bark Clara, commanded by Capt.
David Nickels. This, his first voyage,
covered two years and five months. Be-
fore it ended he had become second mate
and then mate. Then for two years he
went as mate in the bark Investigator,
commanded by Capt. James Fori. In
1873 he took charge of the vessel, The
Homeward Bound, and from then until
1880 he was in the North Atlantic trade.
After 1880 he voyaged mainly to the
Far East, commanding such ships as the
C. D. Bryant, the Elizabeth, the William
H. Conner, the Henry B. Hyde, the Gov
ernor ROBBIE, the Abner Coburn and the
E. B. Sutton.
Some of these voyages were considered
remarkably quick trips; such as that of
the C. D. Bryant from New York to
Hong Kong, thence to Iloilo in the Philip
pines, and back to New York in one
hundred and nine days; that of the Henry
B. Hyde from New York to San Fran
cisco, thence to Liverpool and back to
New York III ten months and fourteen
days; and that of the Governor Robe
from New York to Hong Kong, thence to
Manila, and back to New York in nine
months and seven days,
1t is said that the Henry B. Hyde,
which Capt Butman commanded in
l890-91, was the finest American sailing
ship ever built, and that a painting of
that ship is in the Smithsonian Institute,
Washington, d, C.
After following the sea for nearly FORTY
years, he retired in 1907 and had dwelt
in Searsport ever since
Capt. Butman was married July Is,
1884, to Miss Anna E. Colson of Sears
port. Mrs. Butman survives him, as do
also three of his children, namely: Mar
garet E., James P. and William Gordon
butman, but Gladys went before him.
passing away Sept. 4, 1914
On Feb. "a, 1889, he Joined the First
congregational Church of Searsport.
tie became deacon July rs, 1909.
He has made his record-on the sea in
his home town, in his home church-a
record of quiet yet very efficient service
lie died Jan. 80, 1920. Five days later at
MS home occurred his funeral, and his
comrades of the sea laid his remains to
rest in the Gordon Cemetery.
