Republican Journal. Belfast-W. HI.
Staples of North Easton. Mass, for
merly of tbs county, gives the. fol-
lowing interesting statement in TAX
ing exception to a recent propaganda
article he had read in regard to the
difference between the labor and ma
terial costs of an ordinary dwelling
hiuse: This last summer I built a
house of rooms, large pantry and
bathroom. I was carpenter. mason
and painter. l did all of the work
except the plumbing and paper hang
ing. The cost Of material was $1456,
the plumbing was 800 and paper
hanging was $50. My time was $50
hours at s.! per hour. SO if I had
struck for a 10 per cent raise would
have netted only 500, instead of the
$140O that the expert estimated. Be-
fore the house was completely fin
ished, it was sold to a man who saw
it twice every day while it was being
built, for $780,"

There seems to be a general lack
of familiarity with. the federal prohi-
bition amendment as regards the
making of so-called home brews,
says the Bath Times. According to
James B. Perkins, federal prohibi-
ton director for the State of Maine,
it is absolutely against the law to
manufacture any kind Of brewed or
distilled liquor in the home, no mat
ter if such mixtures are made strict
ly for home use. The federal law
prohibits the manufacturer whether
for sale or not. There is a general
opinion to the effect that federal
agents cannot arrest a man making
brews in his own kitchen for his own
use. According to Director Perkins,
federal agents can arrest people and
can, if they possess warrant, search
any persons house at any time.
Capt. Mark L. Percy of Phippsburg,
who was in charge of the old time
Knickerbocker fleet of tugs during
the good ice years on the Kennebec
when there were 10 tugs towing on
the river in the 70's, recalls what fun
the natives made of the old tug Bel
bingham, the sidewheeler, that was
the first towboat on the Kennebec.
Capt. Percy says that you could look
right through her. meaning across
the deck between paddleboXes from
stern to stern. One of her jobs was
to haul a schooner off Han rock This
she did in good style. The captain
recalls that in the 70's he was ordered
to keep an account of all the vessels
leaving and entering the Kennebec
for year. He did so and they tailed
up 1900 vessels carrying ice, lumber
and general cargoes. The tugboats
used to stop at Parker Head for fresh
water. before steamers could use
seawater condensed and the water
was brought to the shore in a long
pipe from spring up the hill from
his office building.

BREEDiNG-PLACES OF WAR

If Italy and Jugo-Slavia have ac- tually, as reported, settled the Plume dispute by recognizing the independ- ence of Plume, the terms are a vic tory for D'Annunzio and his band of mutinous Italian soldiers and sailors, who have defied the three chief allies, to say nothing of President Wilson. Seeing no hope of outside aid, being too weak for another war and having small prospect of success if it should fight, Jugo-Slavia appears to have ac- cepted the best that it could get. This is much more than it was given by the secret treaty of 1915, for 1t now secures all of Dalmatia except Zara.
 This is the latest of a series of cases in which decisions of the peace conference have been set at naught or in which decision has been taken out of the allies hands. A mutinous Lithuania after the peace conference had awarded it to the latter country The Glagenfurt district no sooner voted for union with Austria than the Jugo-Slav forces occupied it. The Germans of Danzig are in a fair way to impose constitution which would in effect deprive Poland of it's treaty rights in that port. Though the Turk ish treaty declares Armenia inde- pendent, the Turkish nationalists and Russian Bolshevists are meeting over it's dead body. France is withdraw ing from Cilicia and leaving the Ar menians of that province to the mercy of the fanatics who long to extermi- nate them.
 The plebiscites required by the Yer sailles treaty have in several 1n- stances reduced the fine theory of self-determination to a mockery. That in south Schleswig gave Ger many the profit from having Ger manized the territory during the half century since it was stolen from Den mark. The vote in East Prussia sane tifies the results of a century and a half of oppressive Germanizing and was taken while all able-bodied Poles were absent, defending their country, Upper Silesia has been in a state of inter-racial civil war, which has caused postponement of the vote and which the allied army of occupation has been unable to suppress, and the Germans evidently will resist the de- cision if it should go against them. The allies have used no military force to execute the treaty except where their own national interests were at stake.
 When MT. Harding takes office, it will be incumbent on him and the senate to decide what settlement of all these quarrels shall be made in the interest of the United States. gests that Stefansson's prediction in all the localities named, and Amer ican interest requires that they shall never yield crop.

FERSONAGES OF HIGH FAME
Celebrated Nine Worthless Left Deep

and Modern History.

The Nine Worthless were famous
~personages who are often alluded to
and classed together In a rather arbi-
trary manner. like the Seven Wonders
Of the World, or the Seven Wise Men
Of Greece. The Nine Worthless have
been counted up In the following
manner: Three gentiles Of ancient
times, Hector, son Of Priam, king Of
Troy, who was killed during the ia
nous siege. described by the Grecian
poet Homer; Alexander the Great,
king Of Macedonia, who carried his
conquest to what Is now British In
dia and Julius Caesar, who made
himself ruler of the Roman world. aud
practically laid the foundations Of the
empire; three Jews, Joshua, the con
Queror Of Canaan.>David, the second
king of the children of Israel and
Judas Maccabaeus. a patriarch who
fought against foreign domination
three Christians, King Arthur of the
Ancient Britons; C~harlemagne, who
built an empire in western Europe
after the Western Roman empire iiad
fallen to pieces; and Godfrey of Boull'
lon, a valiant knight of western
Europe during the Middle ages.

Debts That Need No Payment.

English law does not recognize
gambling or betting debts, as a general
rule, although there have beer excep-
tons. More peculiar is the fact that
a barrister cannot sue for his fee.
Most other countries have the same
practice with regard to gambling debts
ss ourselves. Venezuela Is N Of the
very few states In which such debts
are ~collectable by law. In Holland
you cannot sue for a bet made upon
cards, but you can for one on a horse

CHARACTER TOLD By HAND
Charles Schwab Can Afford to pisre-
gard Appearances, but Not So
the Average Man.

Charles Schwab, the steel king. was
pictured recently In the feature sec
ton Of a New York newspaper wear
Ing a pair of ragged, decrepit-looking
gloves. To every appearance they
might have been q little token to the
magnate from the ashman. Beneath
the picture was an explanation by Mr..
Schwab that he had "worn these
gloves for over o year."
Dirty, soiled, ugly g~iovesl And yet
Charles Schwab, one Of the greatest
Industrial lords of the earth. proudly
Doasted how long he had made them
wear.
Mr.. Schwab's boast doesn't ring sin
cerely. He probably would not advise
one Of the rising young executives Of
his company to wear old gloves or
soiled gloves. On the contrary. he like
ly would "call down" that young ex-
ecutive for doing exactly what he has
Dragged about.
Mr.. Schwab can afford 10 wear those
gloves. If he wanted 10 he probably
.ould wear green golf Knockers to
work, and get away with II. But the
'est of the world, exclusive Of Mr..
Dempsey, Mary Garden. Babe Ruth.
and other pripa donnas who have "ar-
rived" so TO speak, in their respective
careers. must watch Its step.
