THE POS1MAN'S STORY.

"When Christmas had covered the house.
tops with snow,
And the bells had retold the sweet
story of old,
The postman was stopped on his weari-
some round
By dainty wee maiden with ringlets
of gold.
She held to her bosom little white box
With the strangest directions he ever
had read:
In round, childish characters, blotted and
blurred,
"ro Robert O'Malley, in Heaven" it
Said.'
"Now please. Mr.. Postman, my brother
has gone
To the beautiful land of the ar gels of
light,
And the tree in the parlor was stripped of
its gifts,
But no one remembered poor Bobby
last night.
And so have sent him my woody white
lamb"
She dropped from her lashes the pearl
of tear
Cor else he will. think that his home in
the clouds,
Is SO far that we all have forgotten
him here"
"Oh. simple and wonderful faith of a
child,
That knew not the grave with its dark
ness and gloom,
But looked to the skies as the country of
God,
Where the birds were in song, and the
flowers in bloom.
1t was this that was taught from the
manger of yore,
When the Bethlehem Baby was born in
the hay.
And the spirit of death at his first little
cry
In the snow and the starlight went
fitting away"

MARSHAL FOCH'S FAREWELL

Marshal Foch, before sailing for France
transmit ed through the American Lee
gion Weekly, official organ of the ex-
service mems organization, farewell to
the people of America. The translation
follows:
"With deep regret l bid you goodbye
For almost seven weeks the Legion has
entertained me marvelously in your
splendid country. My experience here
eads to two thoughts.
"W Len first met you and came to ad-
mire you as fighters. cheerful, subject to
discipline under your splendid leader,
General Pershing, the days were dark in
deed. Yet you smiled then as you fought,
and your cheerfulness and bravery help
ed much to bring us victory and peace.
"When next met you it was in your
country. The alarms of war were over.
You were engaged actively in those pur-
suits of peace which are so essential to
happiness and prosperity-hard work.
have come to love all Americans for
their spirit of diligence, for their gener.
Gus heartedness. France and the United
States are indeed close together, as they
always have been.
'These two thoughts-of the American
abroad at war, of the American at home
and at peace-lead to only one conclu-
sion, that the Americans are young, stur-
dy, honorable, God-fearng, full of faith
and hope; that they are to be admired,
respected and trusted by all peoples
everywhere.
Sand Of what type is the representa-
tive American of today7 The type you
find in the American Legion. He is the
man who sacrificed all to fight for his
flag and world freedom. He is the man
who now will see to it that we have
peace on earth, good will toward men,
"We in France are doing our share to
keep ourselves worthy of the victory we
have won. We k7ow you are doing
yours. Long live the American people!
Long live the American LegionP

Waldo Pomona Grange.

Waldo Pomona Grange was entertain
ed by Frederick Richie Grange, Waldo,
Tuesday, Dec. 9th. Although rather
a rough, cold day, neither GOOD sleiahing
or wheeling, still there was fairly good
attendance and another demonstration of
the fact that pleasant, helpful meetings
are not always dependent upon large
numbers. W. M. Bert Aborn was in the
chair, three officers were absent. The
Grange opened with singing. After the
usual routine business, as there were NO
candidates in waiting, the time was
pleasantly taken up by remarks by Bros.
Edward Evans, Henry Elms and Will
Shorey. The noon hour was most
thoroughly enjoyed by all. Grange re-
convened at p. m. Music by the choir;
address of welcome by Edward Evans in
his usual easy, happy manner and re-
sponded to by Oracle Bowen of Honesty
Grange, Morrill,.
Next in order came the election of Off
GERS. The Worthy Master appointed
brothers Evans, Shorey and sister Hattie
Paul a committee to receive, sort and
count votes. The election passed off
very quickly and harmoniously, only one
ballot required for each officer, with the
following results: W. NJ, Bert L. Aborn,
who is serving his fifth term; o., Leroy
Morse; L., Annie Aborn; S., Isaac San
born; A. S., James Woodbury.; Chap.
Grace Woods; Treas, Frank Clements;
Sec'y, Ernest Bowen; G. K, Wesley
Achorn; p, Mrs. Leroy Morse; c., Hat
tie Sanborn; Flora, Cora Gay; L. A. S.,
Edwina Berry; executive committee,
Delbert Paul, John Berry, Chas. Woods.
The topic, Should the Legislature Abol-
ish the State Highway Commission, was
then taken up, opened by Edward Evans,
and further discussed by brothers Shorey,
Ellis, Sanborn, Films, Paul "a patrolman)
Dow, Aborn, Webster, Morse and Del
bert Paul. 1t was ably brought out, but
as far as Waldo county is concerned,
Iulu&S Will Iculdlu dUOuI DIS Luey are.
Bro. Dow made some suggestive remarks
in regard to the attitude of the Milk Pro-
ducers Association towards farmers the
past autumn. Voted that the secre-
tary send letter of sympathy to Mrs.
Chester Cushman, testimonial of the
love and respect felt by the members OF
Waldo Pomona for her husband, a late
member of the executive committee. W.
O. was commissioned to express to w.
Pomona (who was lily the regret of Po-
mona Grange that she was unable to be
with us. A vote of thanks was given
the host grange for the courtesies of the
day. At the census 10 oranges reported

UNDER THE MISTLETOE

ION Christmas Day maid and
Were walking very slow
From church, and all the grayish SKI
Was filled with falling snow.
II hoisted an umbrella up
To guard her from the storm;
Half filled with happiness my cup,
My heart with love was warm.
Dear me, l sighed, here is 60;
There's not soul in sight
If but had some mistletoe,
My heart indeed were light.
"Unfortunate, am l, though big,
A most unlucky fellow, -
Why dear, she said, l tied sprig
On top of the umbrella"

CHRISTMAS

~ shall see him, but not now; shall
behold him. but not nigh; there shall
come a star out of Jacob"
Numbers, 24.l7.
This ages prophecy was fulfilled
nineteen hundred and twenty-one years
ago when the wise men, expectant, saw
the star of promise and followed it.
"And 10, the star, which they saw in
the east, went before them, till it came
and stood over where the young child
was
"When they saw the star they rejoiced
with exceeding great Joy"
"And when they were come into the
house, they saw the young child with
Mary, his mother, and fell down and
worshipped him; and when they had
opened their treasures, they presented
unto him gifts" Matthew 20, 10, II.
The above is brief but comprehen-
sive description of the first Christmas, at
the beginning of the first year of our
Christian Era. The centuries have come
and gone, but Christmas lives. On each
of it's annual occurrences carols are sung,
there is rejoicing with exceeding great
oy. there is opening of treasures and
presentation of gifts, and, best of all, the
spirit of Christ still abides in human
hearts,"
"What means that star, the shepherds
said,
That brightens through the rocky glen?
And angels answering overhead,

men,"

A few weeks ago we noted that several
N embers of one of the numerous manu-
facturer's unions had been put in Jail and
lined for violation of the aged SHERMAN
antitrust law" About the time those
cases were disposed of indictments charg-
ing violation of this law have been return
ed against more than one hundred individ-
uals and corporations employed by or en-
gagged in the manufacture or sale of win
dow glass. These indictments charge
conspiracy between the labor unions and
the manufacturers "to limit production,
to suppress competition, to maintain ar
bitrary excessive and extortionate prices,
and to control the sale, shipment and de-
livery of window glass; The law against
these people should have been enforced
before they had grown rich at the expense
of the public in this manner. We believe
that trade unions have done much more
boo sting to the high cost of living than
can be charged to the labor unions. The
consumer directly pays the workman, the
manufacturer and the merchant. There
was a woman who had q hen which laid
an egg of gold each day." etc.

Tennessee, Nays
Super Fighter Has
Successful Trial

Rockland, Me-, May 16-The super
dreadnought Tennessee, electrically
driven and equipped with a main
battery of twelve 14-inch guns
mounted in triple turrets, today pass
most of the tests set down for her
in her standardization trial off this
port. On her five top speed tests,
with all four propellers at work, the
great ship averaged 81 knots, the
highest clip being 21.378. She also
developed a maximum horsepower of
$4,000, exceeding her contract speci-
fications of 29,S72.
After the trials members of the
naval trial board which put the ship
through today's manouvers asserted
that her motors, turbines and gen.
orators functioned excellently.
Tomorrow the Tennessee, which is
manned by a crew of 400 men, about
half of whom were recruited in the
state for which she is named, is ex-
pected to complete the standardized
ton tests. She will cover the course
first with her two port screws and
then with the pair on the starboard
side. The speed required with two
screws in operation is Is knots.
On Wednesday the battleship will
leave for Boston to replenish her oil
supply. On her way it is expected
that she will start on her endurance
runs. four of which are required at
10. 10 and 10 knots and top speed.

IDEAS GALORE ARE
OFFERED FOR REVISION
FEDERAL TAX LAWS

Washington, May 1.-THE Senate fl"
nance committee was swamped al
hearings today with suggestions for
revision of the federal tax laws. 1t
Tense of the excess profits tax as well
as pleas for reduced taxes and elm
ination of alleged discriminatory pro-
visions against business.
c. c. Hanch, of Indianapolis, Ind,
and George M. Graham, of Buffalo,
speaking for the national automobile
chamber of commerce, were the chief
witnesses from the industrial ranks,
and urged removal of the excess pro-
fits, luxury, excise, transportation
and consumption taxes.
II. Archibald Harris, of Chicago, a
certified public accountant, was the
champion of the excess profits tax
committee members, several of whom
said they had felt the sentiment
throughout the country was practi-
cally unit for repeal of that section
of the laws. Mr. Harris also urged
exemption of corporation dividends
from personal income sur taxes.
Frank e. Seidman, of Grand Rap
ids, Mich, took still another tack on
the profits tax question, suggesting a
tax on undisturbed earnings of cor
porations to make good losses caused
by reepal of the profits taxes. He
proposed taxes similar to the gradu-
ated rates on personal incomes as the
proper method of dealing with undis.
tributed earnings.
Attempts of Officials during the wa:
to differentiate between essential and
non essential industries has left bad
spots in the nations commercial life
Mr.. Graham said.
I'VE can not feel" he said, that
the motor cars and motor truck in
dustry and many lines carrying 'stig-
ma taxes can be fittingly rated in
any classification whose value to the
public is questioned"
Mr.. Hanch stressed the need of the
country for an equilibrium between
supply and demand. He declared in
creasing the tax burden would make
more remote restoration of the bust
ness balance which he said was ne
cessary for an early revival of COM
merce and industry.

Washington, May Lett is the pol
ICY OF the American government in
every part of the world ito INQUIRE
and make representations to foreign
governments wherever it appears
that monopolistic petroleum conces-
sion might be granted to the possible
oetrlment of American citizens" &C
cordlng to a state department report
signed by Secretary Hughes and
transmitted to the Senate TODAY in
answer to resolution passed by the
Senate year ago.
Mr.. Hughes included in the report
copies of communications EXCHANGED
between the United States and the
Netherlands government in reference
to the Djambi oil fields of the Dutch
East Indies, and summaries of state
department actions taken in Mexico.
The report supplemented and brought
up to date information given the SEN
ate last year upon the world Oil sit
Uation. and the diplomatic steps talk
en- by the United States in endeavor-
ing to maintain rights of Americans
foreign oil fields.
In all diplomatic communications,
the statement said, it has been en-
phasized that foreign nationals and
corporations controlled by foreign
nationals have enjoyed privileges in
the exploitation of American oil fields
equal to those extended to citizens Of
the United States.
In the British empire during the
year, however. the report said. "the
operation of the Anglo-Persian oil
company, in which the British gov
eminent own two-thirds of the ordin
ary shares, have steadily increased"
In British dominions and French pos
sessions, further steps were said to
be tending to establish ownership
of oil developments and potential
fields in the nations of the country
concerned
