HARDING'S RELIGIOUS SPIRIT.

On the Sunday following his inaugur-
alton Mr.. Harding will attend divine ser
vice in Americas Memorial church,
which pending the erection of the edihce
consecrated to the memory of those who
served in the Worlds War, is holding its
services in the assembly room of the
Wardman Park Hotel, Washington.
The religious spirit exhibited by Mr..
Harding since his elevation to leader
ship of his party and of the nation has
made a profound impression on all be-
lieving men, who in November, struck
for God and their native land. On the
day following his Overwhelming election,
Mr.. Harding spoke humbly: ut is all so
Serious" said he, "the obligations are SO
solemn, that instead of exulting | am
more given to prayer to God TO make me
capable of playing my part" And in
taking the oath of office he will place his
hand On the 9th verse of the 9th chapter
of Micah: "He hath Showed thee, @ man,
what is good; and what doth the Lord re-
quire of thee, but to do justly, and to
love mercy, and to walk humbly with
thy God?"

BRICKLAYING COST UP EIGHT
TIMES.

If New England construction COM
pany's records covering generation of
operating costs are correct as submitted
to the Boston Chamber of Commerce, it
is no wonder there is housing shorta &c
everywhere. The mystery is how any
body manages to erect house or office
building that can rent in competition
with structures put up Wien men did a
square days work and mortar, plaster or
even sand did not rival the price of
pearls.
Twenty odd years ago, according to
those records, mason and his helper
laid ], 5OO bricks in a working day of
eight hours for IS rs. To lay those same
LOU bricks to-day COSTS for the same
labor, $40. 30. But while this makes it
cost the builder eight times as much, in
round numbers, to get that work done
now as 1T cost then, the mason and his
helper do not earn eight times as much
money at their trade. The reason is
simple enough. What it took the mason
and his helper only eight hours to do
twenty odd years ago it no takes ma
son and his helper half a week to do. In
other words, the bricklaying capacity of
, mason and mis- helper has fallen from
1900 bricks a day to 500 bricks day
AT eight times the former rate thous-
and bricks the mason and his helper to-
day get two and half time the former
wage week because they do only va third
as much work. But while the m son and
his helper get only two and half times
as much as before, the cost to the man
who pays the bills has to be, of course,
tina, terrific figure of eight times as
much.
And here is what it ali means to the
man that rents the house in which lay
ing he bricks costs eight times as much
as before. There is not merely eight
times as much interest on the cost of lay
ing the bricks which must go into the
rent; there is eight times as much taxes
on the cost of laying the bricks; there is
eight time as much depreciation, there is
eight times as much insurance on the
cost OF laying them. The rent has to
take in all of it.
Nobody in this country ever suffered
when workers time after time demanded
and got more and more pay for doing
more and better work. Everybody in
truth, was the gamer. But when work
ers produce less and less they are dig
ging the industrial graves of both them
selves and their conntry.-New York

Why One Garage 4?

We heard prominent Maine man voic-
construction of the State garage at Au-
gusta, which, when completed, will have
cost approximately s208, 900, according to
the report rendered the legislature by the
State Highway department.
This gentleman doubted if the construc-
ton of so expensive garage was neceS-
sary and he emphaticaIly expressed the
belief that acuion launching, the State
upon SO large an expenditure and for a
definitely new purpose, should not ha We
been undertaken without legislative sane
ton, He remarked that it would certain
" have been possible to have rented
accommodations for the State trucks and
motor cars and that the State could have
well afforded to pay the Tenta! for a while
as the costs of building construction are
->4cpHStantIy decreasing. He expressed the
belief that delay would have saved money
for the State and also have given an op-
portun:ty to obtain the will of the legisla-
ture in regard to the matter,
Is is somewhat difficult to understand
why the policy of the State Highway de-
partment should have Deen to construct
one great garage in Augusta at an ex-
pense of more than 100000 rather than
number of smaller garages in several sec
tons of the State. The road work covers
the entire State and the trucks and motor
cars, if they are to be used, must be dis
tributed over the State wherever State
road work is being carried on. Suppose
that State garages had been constructed
in Portland, Houlton and Bangor as we'll
as Augusta Then the trucks would have
been comparatively near at hand for all
work and much transportation could have
been avoided as well as more convenient
storage afforded
The tax payers of Maine favor good
roads and desire that the roads of the
State should be placed in as good con-
dition as possible within reasonable cost,
but there is sentiment that the expen-
ditures for road purposes are increasing
with undue rapidity and to an extent
that compels reduced programs in other
departments, perhaps fully as essential.
There is not sentiment to unduly curtail
road construction, but there is strong
conviction that every possible economy
be exercised in the conduct of the State
Highway department
We do not allege that such economy is
not exercised but we say that it certainly
should be, We know that there is more
or less sentiment that there are consider
able opportunities for waste and consider
able belief that the system of patrol that
is conducted does not bring results COM
mensurate with the expense. Returning
to the matter of State garage, wefhave
heard the view suggested that hal the
highway department awaited the action
of the legislature in regard to garage con-
struction, no such large an expenditure
would have been made 1T Augusta and
that the legislature representing all Sec
lions of the State would have insisted
that garages be constructed in different
sections rather than centralizing all the
expenditure at Augusta.

How Old Is MuSic2

No one could answer this question.
Man has made music of kind prob
ably since he first discovered that two
solid substances brought in sudden
contact made a noise. The drum was
probably the first instrument. and then
some kind of flute or whistle. Ancient
Greece had scale of notes similar to
those of today, and the first school
of singing that we know anything
about, was founded by Pope Sylvester,
A. D. $50. Music has developed with
religion. The church has done more
to foster love for music than any
other institution. We cannot here go
into the general history Of the art
There are many excellent volumes on
the subject which may be obtained at

HAVING IN FEBRUARY

Actual haymakina in February was
among the most unusual sights Of the
mild winter in Bath last week. Albert
johnson happened to need some hay with
which to cover his ice and found none in
the market. so he went to the owner of a
North Bath meadow and traded for the
standing hay. The meadow owner agreed
to let johnson have all he needed for 81 a
ton provided that the other should cut
the hay. Mr.. johnson Tuesday appeared
with moving machine on the meadow
and proceeded to cut all he needed in this
manner, the hay icing dry and dead on
the land. Such hay-making extraordi-
nary would probably not occur in Febru-
airy in this climate more than once in
1000 years.-Bath Times.

How Comets Can Carry Live Germs

How Comets Can Carry Live Germs.
Scientists now declare that comets
carry live disease germs. They further
state that it is possible for these
germs to travel to earth from other
worlds on the tails of comets.
This is not so extraordinary as it
may seem, if we examine the facts.
What is a comet?' Scientists tell
us that most comets are pieces of 9th
er planets which have been rent
asunder by some unknown cause. We
are further told that these comets
may contain innumerable millions of
the germs which lie in all kinds of
elements and that microbes can re-
main inactive but alive for long
periods of time.
1t is possible for germs to he whirled
through space in a comet, and, under
favorable conditions, to attack human
beings and animals after reaching our
atmosphere.

MUST YIELD PART TO CROWN
How the British Law Deals With the
Finder of What Is Known as
Treasure-Trove.

TreasuretrOve is money, plate, bull
lion, coin, gold or silver, found hid
den in the earth or other private place
the owner being unknown. According
TO Roman law, treasure found by
man in his own land belonged to the
finder; if found in the land of an
other, half was given to the owner of
the land and half to the finder. In
Great Britain treasure trove belongs
to the Crown and concealment by the
finder is an indictable Offense. The
Crown, however, is in the practice of
paying to the finder the value of the
property upon its being delivered up.
In 1886 the home office Of the British
government gave notice that the find
ers of treasure would be permitted to
retain articles not required for any
national institution. subsequent to Il
required for museums, etc, are paid
for at their antiquarian value, less
20 per cent. The civil code of the
province of Quebec, which is largely
based on the old French law, follows
the rule of the Roman law upon this
point. Article $50 says: The owner
ship of a treasure rests with him who
finds it in his property: if he finds it
in the property Of another, it belongs
half to him, and the other half to the
owner of the property, A treasure IS
any buried or hidden thing of which
no one can prove himself the owner

HANDLING or GRAINS

Our cerea! crops are harvested once q
year. They are consumed every day OF
the year. Some one must hold the crop
until it is required for consumption. In
addition, as a factor of national safety,
some one must carry over reserve from
one year to another. No system of dis
tribution is safe which does not include
the maintenance of a reserve food supply.
In this every one is concerned. 1t is not
only the farmers business to produce the
crop but it is his business to see that it is
SO distributed that he secures an adequate
price for his labor, and in addition we
have the national interest, which has
been SO abundantly manifest in recent
! years, that an adequate supply of food
shall be available. Just how far the
representatives of the people shall 60 in
safeguarding an adequate food supply is
one of the big questions.
Certain things stand out clear:
l. We must have an adequate supply
of food.
2. Same must be produced by labor
labor in other industries. We do not
want peasant class in America, nor will
the nation survive if it imports Chinese
or other low priced labor to operate our
farms.
3. We may have to fix tariffs to ex-
clude foods grown by lower priced for
eign labor in order to maintain our agri-
culture
A. The cheapest place to hold food is
on the farm and some system of tinanc-
ing the farmer to enable him to hold
grain in the rural districts will have to
come.
5. The transportation rates on foods
will have to be reduced to the minimum.
9. If the farmer decides to organize to
grade, manufacture and sell his own
products it is the function of the Govern
ment to see that no handicaps are placed |
In his way and that the field shall be
open and clear, to the end that the most
efficient form of distribution shall be de-
veloped. If the present system is the
most efficient 1t will survive.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
TONS OF PEAT ARE CUT
DAILY BY NEW MACHINE


DAILY BY NEW MACHINE
A new machine built on the end
less track principle. designed es-
pecially for the purpose of exca-
waiting peat, conveys some idea
of the proportions to which this
industry has grown.
The excavator proper consists
of a worm cOnveyor having cut
ting edges on the cupboard end.
This unit digs to a maximum
depth of seven feet, conveying
the mass to a macerator, where
1t is ground and churned to a
paste. The operation is continu-
GUS, the paste next being dis
charged upon the ground and
spread in a uniform layer, about
16 feet wide by feet thick, by
a spreader, which also cuts it
into narrow ribbons. Another
machine then cuts these into
easily-handled briquettes, says
an article in Popular Mechanics.
After preliminary drying the
briquettes are arranged in wind
rows that the drying process
may be completed. The excava-
tor is powered by a gasoline en-
CINE and is completely self-con-
tanned and self-moving. The ex-
IRENE width of the tread en-
ables the heavy machine to tray
ell easily over the soft, marshy
ground where it would be impos-
sible to move a wheeled vehicle.
Engineers of the bureau of
mines, University of Minnesota,
are authority for the statement
that there are sufficient peat de-
posits in sight to supply all the
fuel requirements of the state for
hundreds of years at the pres
ent consumption rate.
