Personal Loss
Bangor Commercially

(BanSOr commercially
Governor Parkhurst was always
true to his friends and never lost an
opportunity of extending his aid
when possible.
Through the death of the Governor
the State of Maine is deprived of the
services of one who, had he been
spared, would have bulked large in
the executive history of the State,
whose administration would have
been marked by development and ad-
vance, by energy, fairness toward all
and the most careful personal con-
sideration of all problems. Here in
Bangor where everybody knew him,
the death of Governor Parkhurst is
felt as personal loss. Here it is felt
that the city has lost one of it's best
citizens, an esteemed business man
and a constant worker for it's i'm
provement and betterment.

Where Do AM the Lead Pencils Come
 From and Go To?
By Associated Prnsa

Washington, October 1.--Where do all the lead pencils come from and where do they go? Although almost everybody has one, many folk never buy one, but even so, more than 750,- 000.000 are manufactured for use In the United States every year, using up many thousands of cords of wood
 But woods suitable for lead pen cils are becoming scarcer and many manufacturers are turning to paper. Red cedar and red juniper, says the American Forestry association are the woods chiefly used in making lead pencils. A hunt Is on for other kinds of wood that will take the place of these. In East Africa kind of cedar has been found with which experiments are being made. The production in the United States IS about S0.000 cases of pencil slats per year. From each case 100 gross of pencils is made. this results in about one billion pencils of American grown cedar. Since one fourth of this number is sent to gor- eign countries that leaves 750 GOO, 900 pencils for the home market. which means an average of seven pencils per person figuring on the last census.
 As far back as history goes man has tried to make things to mark with and to set down his thoughts. The Aztecs and the Pharaohs had crude marking devices. As early as 1750 Kahn. a Swedish naturalist. made experiments with American cedar. In 1912 William Monroe made 500 pencils at Concord and sold them in Boston but the war stopped his plans. In 1861 Eberhard Faber be- gan making pencils on a large scale in this country.
 The graphite which makes the mark is of course the important part in the manufacturer of the pencil Ceylon has furnished much of the graphite used in this country. Crap hite Is also found in Madagascar and in Mexico. Czechoslovakia contains deposits of both the amphorous and crystalline graphite. In the United States the chief deposits are in Ala bama, New York and Pennsylvania.

THE LAND Of HOPE" WITH ALICE BRADY
Popular Star In Absorbing Romance, Attraction
 at the GaIax

Dreams are wonderful things, but there are hard roads to be travelled before dreams come true. The Land of Hope" is the story of the dream of boy and girl, who expect to find happiness in new land for the ask ing. The Land of Hope Is said to be a great picture, and this Is the at traction at the Galax theatre Mon day, Tuesday and Wednesday, with Alice Brady in the stellar role.
 Miss Brady is too well known to motion picture enthusiasts to need any introduction. but in The LanG of Hope" they will find her in an entirely new type of role, but one which critics say surpasses anything she has yet had. Many well known players appear in her support.
 ''The Land of Hope" is the story of two dramers who came to America to seek their fortune so that they could afford to marry. Soon the,r rude awakening came, their hopes faded, and and they even doubted each other, so hard was life in this noisy, hur- rying, bewildering new world. But success came at last, and then hap piness together.
 The story of the two young lovers who came to America to gain their ideals, and nearly lost them in the maze of bewildering new customs and ideas in which they soon found themselves grouping, makes an ab- sorbing romance

Formosa Women
 Now Beginning
 to Assert Rights
By Associated Press


 Taiwan, Formosa, october 1.-The world movement for woman's eman- cipation has struck Formosa at a time when the high cost of wives Is being felt severely. The women. who are mostly of the Chinese race, are demanding the abolition of the system Of engagement money which is paid by their suitors when the marriage contract Is made, declaring that the payment of money to thei, parents is an insult to their dignity and position as free-born women.
 A young woman of education. 4 graduate from a girls sch ool, com mands as much as 1,500 to 2,000 yen {sf56 to sf.000) as engagement money and such sum is very desirable addition to the family for tune these days. But these girls refuse to consider themselves live stock and decline marriage without personal consent and with bride groom of decent appearance and suf- ficient education.
 Most Formosan marriages are ar ranged on the basis of the engage ment money. and the bride tobe has little to say about the matter.
 There are young women who insist that the trouble with engagement money is that it is too high and de- sirable suitors are often kept away because they cannot pay the price de manded There is much in this ar gument which appeals to Formosan women. and a certain number of the less modern women are demanding that engagement money be radical Ky reduced to a point where mat rimony will be easter of accomplish ment for them.
 The Formosans are polygamists. But the modern tendency is to re main satisfied with only one wife. And it is said that if engagement money does not decrease soon the habit of plural marriages will de- crease too, because very few men can afford to purchase more than one wife at present high prices.

 The big thing, 1t seems to me, that our handlers of athletics have to learn from the British is that their system of training takes away ths nerve strain which ruins so many athletes. Many of our boys. under the existing conditions. grow nervous, ir- ritable and lose weight and strength. To such types the fact that the event is past brings relief and the reaction Is immediate.

THE ARMY OF DRUG ADDIcTs

Charles Phelps Gushing in Leslie S.
 In 1915 U. S public health service
 bulletin gave the number of drug ad-
 diets in this country as 10000. In
 1919 a congressional committee ap-
 pointed to investigate the drug
 problem reported that the total then firstexceeded 1,O0000o. Last Novem- Der. by an estimate quoted in con
 gress by Representatives Rainey of Illinois, the total reached 1,99S.000. They picture it-an army of addicts
 as large as the greatest size of the
 army that General Pershing conn manded in France! Today the total is believed to be decreasing, but II
 may yet be close to 100000 or Tn excess of that figure. The biuecoats and plaincothes men are doing all they can, and at last making progress at it. in combating
 the smuggler and hunting down the illicit vendor. A 'nation-wide police war; has been organized against the drug traffickers.
 I In New York city more than $2,- | 0OO. 900 worth of smuggled drugs have been seized in the past SIX months, and scores of vendors have i been arrested. The number of addicts | in New York--45. 900 six months ago -is at last on the decrease. too. for l if becomes more difficult every day to purchase drugs from unlicensed | sources. Meanwhile. the prices ol i 'boogle" narcotics are mounting be- yond the reach os the ordinary purse
 The New York police estimate that | the average addict who buys Iron illicit vendors now has to scrape to- gether s6 to $s day for his drug l supply.
