Mr.. THOMPSON of Knox: Mr..
President, I have resolve here
which I present in favor of the town
of South Thomaston for the reim-
bursement of that town for high
school tuition paid by the town of
South Thomaston to the City of
Rockland for the year ending July !,
1919
You will perceive that the money
has been long overdue. I have been
to the State superintendent two or
three times. He informs me that he
can do nothing for it under any law
governing his department, also that
the Governor and Council are unable
to do anything. The money has been
actually paid. as certified by the SUI
perintendent of schools of that town.
but owing to neglect Of some one the
town has not received its money. The
superintendent of schools informs me
that the only way to get at this for
the purpose of reimbursing the town
is by legislative action.
I move therefore that the rules be
received and given it's two several
readings and passed to be engrossed.
The statement of facts which accom-
panies the resolve is substantially as
I have stated here on the floor.
The PRESIDENT: May the Chair
inquire whether the Senator from
Knox desires to have this referred to
a committee?
Mr.. THOMPSON: If it is the best
thing to do, have no objection to re-
ferring it to any proper committee.

tary please read the resolve and the

that the committee on banks and
banking reported the bill and asked
that it be printed and returned to the

MADISON HERO BURIED

The body of Jessie NJ. Dykes, Jr.
which had recently been brought from
France, where he was killed during
the World War, was laid in its final
resting place in the Richmond Gem
ctery. Sunday afternoon.
Thousands of Madison county citi-
zens and friends from other counties
gathered to pay their last tribute OF
respect to an honored son. Many
representatives Of the Cleveland Frost
Post Of Berea were also present to
participate in the solemn funeral cerc-
mony. Cleveland Frost was another
sen of Madison county who was tor
pedoed during the war and whose UNI
timely grave is the broad Atlantic.
The First Christian Church was
filled to its capacity when the funeral
service was held ut three o'clock.
There were songs by quartet, prayer
by DIR. r. l.. Telford and funeral SER
mon by. Dr. II. w. Carpenter.
DIR. Carpenter urged that his he
roic Death was not in vain, but that
those who are left behind take into
their hearts the lesson Of his sacri-
flee of home, humanity, and country.
The impressive funeral service of
the RED Men" was said at the grave,
after the brief service of the Rich
mond Legion.
The occasion was in every way a
solemn and impressive one, and all
felt it was a privilege TO honor the
memory of the First Son of Madison
county to give his life for the Glory
Of the Flag and the Honor Of his
Country.

SEVEN MOONSHINE STILLS
RAIDED LAST WEEK

A series of raids within ten mile
radius Of Berea, from Tuesday night
90 Saturday afternoon of last week,
resulted in the destruction of seven
Illicit stills. in connection with which
eleven persons are involved as oper-
ators and accomplices. Fully three
thousand gallons of beer and meal
malt were destroyed, together with a
large amount Of malt corn and a
barrel Of singlings. One of these
stills was of seventy gallon capacity,
with about one thousand gallons of
beer on hand in process of fermenta-
tion. One was within ten steps of a
well travelled footpath, while another
was within one hundred and fifty
yards Of county road constantly
travelled. In fact it was so close TO
the road that it would have been diff
hcult for any normal person to have
walked past the still while in the
read without noticing the smell of
still slop. One still was said to have
been located on property belonging to
Berea College.

Most important of last weeks
events In the United States was the
opening of the national conference on
unemployment. The social economists
and captains Of industry summoned to
Washington by President Harding are
not expected TO work miracles or to
find way In which immediate and
remunerative employment can be given
all the millions OF involuntary idle in
the country. but there is reason to
believe they can devise means for re-
lieving the distressing situation. In
a general way. the solution of the
problem. as the leaders In the confer
ence see II. is plan of cooperation
among employers and with govern
mental construction agencies to dis
tribute, regulate and increase the vol.
ume Of employment In slack seasons.
Among the broad phases of the prob
lem. as stated by Secretary Of Com
merce Hoover. are:
A determination Of the volume and
distribution of employment.
Emergency measures to provide EN-
ployment and mitigate suffering that
may arise during the coming winter.
Measures which may aid In restor
ing commerce and employment to
normal.
Immediately after the opening ses

program, but some Of Its suggestions.
made by the manufacturers. are as
follows:
Unite existing private and public
organizations 10 put through con
structive program for your community.
See that there Is a suitable EN-
plOyment exchange In your commun-
ity.
Assist private and public employ
ers and labor organizations rather
than have any single civic or family
welfare agency or combination of
agencies assume the full responsibility.
Bring 20 the attention of public au-
thorities specific recommendations for
Increasing volume Of public work.
Urge both private and public EN-
ployers 20 distribute labor by r0ta-
tion In shifts OF three days or more
at time.
Persuade each industry 10 absorb
definite quotas OF unemployed
Urge not only private and public
employers but individual household
ers and property owners 10 make Inn
provements, repairs, and general
sprucing up OF properties
Formulate standards and rules for

A notable change in the attitude
of the U. S. to the League of Nations
is noted during the week. In June
the various notes sent by the League
to the U. S. remained unanswered
and the Secretary of the League
could get no reason except from the
U. s. Consul ut Geneva, who said he
was instructed to say that the U. s.
would have no dealings of any kind
with the League. Recently, however,
Sir Eric Drummond, the Secretary,
has received as many as fourteen
communications at one time from the
U. s. to the League, all on oficiai
paper and signed by Secretary
Hughes. This does not mean that
the U. s. is going into the League,

1t is expected that the Senate will
cote on the Peace Treaties, October

ly to be made by which Congress
shall have the right to decide whether
the U. S. will participate in any body,
agency, or commission, recognized or
created by the Treaties. 1t is gen.
orally believed that the object Of this
is to prevent any representation on
the Preparations Commission to settle
the indemnities of the war. The
President has apparently given APP
proval to this reservation. It is felt
by many to be an unfortunate de.

According to the law, each European

asked for n glove which the manufac-
turer did not make. She went away,

leave without placing her order, and
both presumably made the rounds of
others In the glove business. The next
day several manufacturers CHANGED to

agreed they had requests for them.
