Please. Cynthia. tell us what this
lady should have done.
Ase she explained to the sympathetic
club attendant after II was all over,
they were new shoes and just shade
too small. although she can wear fivcs
and used to wear fours.
She had bought them particularly for
the tennis matches at Mannheim, and
she must say. they had almost spoiled
her day for her.
IL was this way: One of those shoes
kept hurting and pinching and aching
until, on her word Of honor. she thought
she would go crazy. All through the
Anderson Hunter affair she managed to
bear It. but then she couldn't stand it
any longer. Finally she slipped the
plagued thing off in n perfectly quiet
and ladylike manner. and breathed a
sigh OF relief.
She felt better after that and began
to enjoy life. although she was little
afraid that some one would notice what
she had done. Had this happened she
would. on her word Of honor. have
curled up and died. However, nobody
saw. and for the time being all went
we'll.
1t must have been a quarter of an
hour later that she made the horrible
discovery that the shoe was gone. A
haSty examination OF her immediate
vicinity revealed nothing but the ave-
nue. of it's departure. The plagued thing

An industrial crisis was precipitated
in England on October 16 by a strike
of 100000 coal miners. On the 2Sth
an agreement was reached for an in
crease in wages in consideration of a
pledge on the part of the miners to
help increase production. The strike
was called off November 3.
A severe business depression was
felt throughout the United States dur
ing the closing weeks of the year. The
trend toward lower wages was marked
by the announcement of the textile
mills of New England in December of
a reduction in wages amounting to
221a per cent.

Pulp WOOD

Few people of Oxford County, unless
they are fortunate enough to live along
the line of the Rangeley Division Of the
Maine Central Railroad, realize the great
amount of pulp wood, brought into the
county from Canada and Newfoundland,
Mention has been made in the Democrat
of the several trains following each other
and running in block, each composed Of
twenty three rack cars loaded with pulp
wood sawed two feet long. These re-
marks are called forth by the announce
ment that the last cargo of pulp wood for
the season had arrived in Portland. 1t
was in the steamer Lake Gatun and this
was her maiden trip. She was built in
ship yard on the Great Lakes and came
down the St. Lawrence River. Alto
gether seventy-four pulp ships have ar
rived in Portland this year and their com
bined cargoes amounted to IS, 900 cords.
This is the largest import of pulp wood
ever brought into Portland for a single
year, except in 1914, when 100, 900 cords
were landed.-Oxford Democrat.

ROUND THEM UP

The one bit of satisfactory news that
has come from the Shipping Board of late
is the announcement that some, at least,
of the rascals who have been using the
Board as base for wholesale robbel of
American taxpayers are really in immi-
nent peril of being brought to book for
their crimes. Admiral Benson, Chairman
of the Board, has made the specific an
nouncement that prosecution of graft"
cases will begin at once in New York,
Norfolk and other cities wherever the
crooks can be corralled. By graft" cases
the Admiral means presumably the brib-
cries, payroll paddings, collusive con-
tracing, robberies ia gross and thieveries
in detail, of which the pitifully helpless
Board has been for so long the victim.
This of course leaves uncovered the
criminal Indifference, the wanton squan-
derings, the sheer imbeclllties through
which the Board was filched of the peo-
pies money confided to its care. That is
altogether too vast field for exploration.
The millions or billions which have run
through that sieve are hopelessly gone.
Those responsible are hopelessly beyond
the reach of the punishment. But the
plain swindlers, the robbers, the petty
thieves, remain. They ar in many cases
within reach. And now, it seems, the
Shipping Board has sufficiently emerged
from its complacent trance to reach for
them.
This is what Colonel Golf, counsel of
the Board, has promised. His promise
would have lost nothing in convincing
quality had it been couched in somewhat
less flamboyant language However, let
him produce results in full bench show
exhibit of convicted scoundrels, and all
that and vast deal more would be for
given him. With nothing less than this
will the American people be satisfied.
The country has been sickened by the
long drawn revelations of crimes innu-
merable. 1t wants a relief in the form of
a rogues march to the penitentiaries.
A good example has been set in New
York with the Indictment of perjurers,
blackmailers, and shyster lawyer accom-
plices in the building trades plunderings.
There should be similar round up of the
Shipping Boards crew of scoundrels.-

Hon. F. w. Bunker of North Arson
and I G. Hume of Fairfield have become
owners of all the water power at North
Arson and of the mill stream socalled
which is the outlet at Embden Pond. In
cluded in the deal were the Shank factory
and real estate on both sides of the river
near the present dam. They also pur-
chased at the same time several lots of
timberland in Emblem and Concord 1t
is not definitely announced what will be
done with this water power, but it is
the hope of the present owners to enlarge
and improve it in a way which must
lead to the material prosperity of North
Arson and vicinity. Mr.. Hume was for
two and half years the general manager
of the North Arson Manufacturing Co.,
and during that time was a resident of
North Arson.
