he took second look at his clothes.
He then saw that the man had taken

shoulder strap braid on them,
strapped his officers belt about them
and rolled up the bottom to give a

MOrmOnism Getting a
FOOthOld in the Islands

Belfast, Me, July 5--(SpeciaD -
Mormanism, which is growing in
Maine. with it's Il missionaries
working here is obtaining a strong
foothold among the islands of PEN
| obscot Bay, with colonies in Deer
Island and Vinalhaven, and converts
, are being made continually. In
Vinalhaven the old Walker mansion.
! once the show place of the island,
built some 80 years ago at the cost
of twelve or fifteen thousand dol
lars, small fortune in those days
on the Maine coast, has been con-
verted into a temple and all the SER
vices of the church-The Latter Day
Saints as they are called. are held
there.
The fine old place was built by
the late Hon. Edmund Place Walk
er, wealthy and influential citizen,
at one time state senator. Mr..
Walker put a great deal of thought
into the house, which was the most
elaborate, largest and had the first
bathroom on the island. The inte-
riOr was finished throughout with
natural woods. highly polished and
carved, the grand staircase reached
to the cupola, four stories high and
the big drawing rooms on either side
of the massive hall contained beauti-
fully tiled fireplaces. These rooms
have been torn out, throwing prac-
tically the whole lower floor into
one big auditorium uuc from the
carved balastrade and newell posts
an altar of the Norman faith has
been built. 1t is said that the place
which has been out of the family for
some years. was bought by the
Saints for $4,000. The elder and his
family occupy an apartment on the
second floor.
The people of the village don't
have much to say about the Saints,
although some people don't hesitate
to say that they haven't much use for
a, Norman or the faith which they
represent. Others believe that they
are doing great deal of good. and
the reporteS was told of one dance
hall a few miles out of the village
which has been practically closed
this summer, "beeau use all the people
in the vicinity have turned Saints"
The Elder and his family are
quiet. intelligent people and out
siders who have attended the meet
ings out Of curiosity. say that the
services are very interesting and
that there is nothing to offend the
most orthodox taste.
A convention of the elders and
missionaries was recently held at
Stonington. Deer Island, and attend
ed by a large number of converts.

N!adivostock, July "a step toward
opening up the Maritime prov
ince is seen in granting timber con-
cessons by the local government and
concession fever" is particularly
noticeable among Japanese capital
lists who are trying to outbid onesan-
other. according to the Vladivostock
Daily News.
On the eve of the auction for tim
Der concessions, instructions were re
ceived by the Vladivostock authori
ties from the Chita Far Eastern gov
eminent forbidding timber conces
sions being granted by anyone ex-
cept Chita. The Vladivostock coun-
ell of directors, however, Immediately
sent protest to Chita against the
instructions, and at the same time
authorized Mr.. Antonoff, the local
prime minister, to confer with Chita
in order to have these instructions
annulled.
On April u applications were re-
ceived for timber concessions in the
Maritime Province on long lease
terms. The auction took place under
laws of June 81. 1910 which stipulate
maximum "a years lease. There were
seven tenders handed in, but as the
first three did not conform with the
stipulations, only four were consid-
cred, of which two were bids for the
same concession. Three leases were
granted to Americans. according to
the newspaper.

Mrs. Ida Hebberd's
Ideas on Reducing
High Cost of Living

Mrs. Ida Hebberd of Boston, who
for many years has had a summer
home at Swan island was a visitor in
Bath Saturday looking up old friends
This is Mrs. Hebberd's first visit for
five years, and she spoke of how good
1t seemed to get back to the Kenne
bee. When she first came to Maine
to see the kennebec river, she liked
it so much that she Immediately made
up her mind to pass her summers in
this section and bought the old Per-
kins' estate on Swan island
Mrs. Hebberd was the first woman
on the Kennebsc to run steam
launch and motor boat and for the
past ten years has been president of
the Housekeepers' League of Massa-
chusetts. This league started when
the price of eggs rose without any
reason and group of women bought
$4,000 worth of eggs at nominal
price. Since that time the league
has grown until every club in Massa-
chusetts is represented and is practi-
cally the only league in Massachu-
sets where there are no dues paid,
everyone working.
The object has been TO Investigate
the reasons for prices rising and to
study the conditions which make and
remedy conditions and show house
keepers how to buy.
Mrs. Hebberd thinks that the rise
in prices is due in great part to the
willingness of the housekeeper to pay
the high prices rather than go to the
bother of working to bring them
down and until women work together

Judge Lindsey
on Parentheod
State to Children

Des Moines, Ia, July 5-From a
different angle, but a no less import
ant one, than that of natural parents,
is the "Parenthood of the State" to
the child. Judge Ben B. Lindsey said
tonight in an address before the ma
tional Education association here
This was first expressed in the
struggle for Acknowledgement by the
state that it was it's duty to educate
the child" Judge Lindsey added.
/ No one today seriously questions
this responsibility. Since that ac-
acknowledgements the state is becom-
ing more and more the over parent
of the child"
The next phase of this struggle
concerns the responsibility of the
state for the health and morals of
the child. Since health and morals
are SO nearly related, they may be
considered almost as one.
The Parenthood of the State" in
cludes its duty to see that the child is
well born. By Strictest kind of mar
riage laws, the state must forbid, as
far as possible, the bringing of chill
from healthy parents The child must
no longer be the victim of conditions
over which it has no control but for
which society and the state itself is
to blame. When the state is imper-
illed, it calls the child of eighteen to
defend it with it's life. When the
child is imperilleu, it has right to
call on its over parent, the state, to
protect it with its wealth
1.-THE time will come when il will
be regarded as a crime against child
hood if the state permits that child
to suffer from undernourishment due
either to poverty or ignorance. Since
it is the accepted duty of the state
to educate the child, it is far more
it's duty to feed the child
THE time to save many a boy ban
dit is in the nine months before and
the nine months after his birth We
must have maternity laws. We must
have laws to see that the child does
nourishment if the parents are un-
able to perform that function, and
if they are able to perform it, to see
to it that it is performed.
IF this is .Paternalism' then all of
your free school system is Paternal-
ism, and if free schools are Paternal-
ism, then give US more of it. We
have the common experience in every
city Of five children of a wealthy
family for whom the state has paid
over $4,000 for their free education,
and the five children of poor wild
ow who need to be fed even more
than they need to be educated and
Tor whom the expense of education is
wasted because of this neglected con-
dition which make them inca pal BILE of
receiving its full advantages. Tn
dernourished children are more dan
gerous to the state than under-edu-
Gated children.
1T is not the purpose of the Par
enthood of the State" to usurp the
function of the home or to permit
the natural parent to shirk. but
rather to see that the home performs
it's function where it is careless, and
to see that no child suffers because
of poverty where theShome is help

for this common purpose there will
be higher prices than is necessary.
The war interrupted this work of
course and now it seems as though
many women do not want to think of
anything but pleasure. reacting from
the war.
