Good Roads Bulletin
Bangor Auto Assn.

The Bangor Automobile Club
Wednesday issued the first of its
1921 road bulletins as follows:
Aroostook County
Reports from Aroostook county
show that the enterprising towns are
getting an early start in putting their
result that the Aroosook roads are.
as a whole, probably better than in
most localities. From Houlton to
Haynesville, the military" road is as
good as in mid-season and the high
way from Houlton to Calais is in ex-
cellent shape due to the work of last
year. From Houlton to Woodstock
the travelling could not be better.
6angor-Portland via Roekland
This popular shore route Is rough
in spots but it Is fast smoothing up
and the continuous travelling which
is now going over the highway helps
in wearing down the spring bubbles.
Travel is now about equally dis
tributed between the shore route and
the route via Augusta and Water
vile.
Bangor to Bar Harbor
Work is to be done on the mile
stretch at Writings HILL Brewer, and
it is expected that the two mile
stretch at Ellsworth Falls will be re-
built this season which will complete
this important highway, the gateway
to Hancock and Washington counties
and to the summer resorts on the
coast and on Mt. Desert.
Bangor to WaterviIIe
Travelling is already heavy on this
highway which is fast getting into
the best of condition.
WaterviIe to Augusta
The road from Waterville to Au-
gusta, via Sidney, is all right now,
although there has been until lately
a bad spot on one hill for cars with
heavy loads. Owing to the fact that
sections of the river road between
Waterv.lle and Augusta on the east
side of the river will be under con-
stcuction during practically the en-
tire summer, it is advisable to use
the Webb.r Fond road from Vassal-
boro to Riverside. and then continue
on the river road to Augusta.
From Waterville to Skowhegan,
the going is good, using the river
road
Augusta to Brunswick

World Alliance
Congress to Disarm
in Session. Chicago

Chicago, ILL.,, May 10-Nothing
Is palmer than that North America Is
not being won for Christ as things
are now and that it cannot be so
won unless the churches combine,
DR.. Arthur J. Brown, Of New York
told the World Alliance Congress on
Reduction of Armaments here today.
Congratulations are needlessly null
tiplied. Expenses of maintenance
are heavily increased. Communities
which could be adequately served by
one church have a dozen. Buildings
are poorly equipped. Time and
money of members are so absorbed
by the struggle for existence that
little is done to advance the cause
of Christ" he said.
Dr. Brown is secretary of the
Presbyterian Board Of Foreign Mis-
sions, member of the executive COM
mttee of the World Alliance for
Promoting International Friendship
through the Churches and has been
trustee Of the Church Peace Union.
"It is clear as on-day that a
divided Church will never, can new
err, save the world" he declared
1.-The task of evangelzing the world
, is so enormous, it must be conducted
in so many different and widely sep
arated lands, it requires such vast
resources. and is co%fronted by such
stupendous obstacles, that there is
no likelihood whatever that it will

Cod combine more tremendously
and effectively than they are COM
bining now. A sundered Church

vantage. ~
an Korea and India. transfers in
volving thousands of Christians have
taken place between Methodists and
Presbyterians and between Angli-
cans and Presbyterians. Similar
agreements have been made in num-
erous instances in our western Unit
ed States, especially between Con-
gregatonalists and Presbyterians
and authorized committees are try
ing to lessen the evils of over
churching in small communities by
encouraging feeble congregations to
consolidate, the denOminational
utilization of the consolidated church
to be determined by priority of occu-
patton or preponderence of interest.

mission fields why are they not justi-
fable elsewhere? If it is proper for
four denominations to unite in a
Montana village or an India district,

The Menace of Tuberculosis.

If we would hope to materially
diminish the number of tuberculosis
cases in Maine, our chief care must
be exercised to protect the children
from contact with sources of infec-
ton and to build UP the system to
enable it successfully to resist the
beginning of the disease, says the
State Department of Health. Many
children of tuberculous parents, as
well as others who have not been
sufficiently nourished, are below nor

THE LUMBER SITUATION
One of our correspondents writes as
follows:

OHe Oh our correspondents WINS -
follows:
Tacoma, Wash.-Lumber prices are
down $50 as compared with same Pc
Rod last year; and what the: buyer
wants to know is: Will they go
down any lower?' Now, the fact is
that lumber cannot be sawed today at
a profit and sold at current prices
Saw mills are operating in many cases
at loss. Either costs of operation
must go down, or prices must go UP.
Shrewd observers of the lumber bust
ness believe that, even though mill
costs may go down more or less over
the country as whole and the mills
thus enabled to run, there is little
chance of lower prices. Costs of
operation must be met or lumber can
not be sawed"
Today is a good time to buy. Lum-
Der prices are down; whether they can
be kept down is problem. and-as a
general thing-they are not likely to
go lower.
