TO CHEER DISABLED HEROES
All Legion Posts to Join in Campaign
to Aid, World War Men in
Hospitals.

More than 100000 men in almost
10000 American Legion posts in all
parts of the United States and it's pos
sessions have been enlisted in a cam
Paign to make life more worth living
to some 10000 sick and disabled
heroes of the World war who still are
patients In government and private
hospitals and to humanize all activi-
ties that enter into their care and
treatment Government bureaus at
Washington have supplied the Legion
with lists of these hospitals, about
1,20O in number and the number of
ex-Service men who are patients in
each. The country has been districted
according to Legion membership and
each of the five national vice com
manders of the Legion has been as
signed to supervise the work of Lee
gion posts, committees and individuals
IN various states. A plan to take
census of all eX-service men, especial
ly those still in hospitals, and straight
en- out their compensation and insur-
program The full weight of the wori-
ems auxiliary of the Legion will also
be thrown behind the movement and
the assistance of all loyal Americans
Is being asked for and gladly accepted.
"These men in hospitals are our
first concern" F. w. Galbraith, Jr.,
national commander of the Legion,
said recently, "and the situation with
regard TO them is far from satisfac-
tory. They are coming to believe, and
justly to large extent, that their
country has forgotten them. Their
greatest need is a friendly handclasp,
cheerful smile and an unqualified and
oft-repeated demonstration that we
have not forgotten them and will
never forget them while God gives us
strength to stand four-square with
and behind them so long as they need
our help. It's not our Job alone-it's
everybody's job-but it's just little
closer to the hearts of men and wom-
en- of the Legion"
The Legion takes the position that
the manned World war heroes repre-
sent Americas fundamental obligation
and that the Legion. backed by the
full weight of sound public opinion,
can make conditions with regard to
them as nearly perfect as human
agencies will permit.

Ever since the death of Charles C.
Spaulding, the veteran Hallowell news
dealer who had been in business for half
a century, the store at 1874 Water street
has never been reopened for business
The store and it's contents remain prac-
tically as they were when business ceased.
1t will be remembered that M. Spaulding
left large estate. He was in the habit
of hiding money in unexpected places, in
envelopes, books and drawers and some
think there may be hundreds of dollars
yet concealed in the store. Among other
effects were found two $1,000 Portland
municipal bonds from which money on
the coupons had never been collected.
The bonds were long outlawed by the 20
year limit, but when presented not long
ago, the city of Portland, although not
liable leg ally, felt moral obligation, and
paid the face of the bonds and the cou-
pons, the whole amounting to $4,000 A
smaller bond on Kennebec county was
similarly paid.

The Inspection of Meat.

The American people consume Is, 0O0.-
OO0, 600 pounds of meat in year, or at
the rate of half pound a day. Two
thirds of this is inspected by Bureau of
Animal Industry employees, while the re-
mainder should be inspected by State or
municipal men, but unfortunately, this is
true only to a certain extent. says the
Chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry
of the United States Department of Ag-
rlculture in recent interview.
Modern meat inspection in this coun-
try dates from 1906. Congress had made
but timid inspection laws. About that
time President Roosevelt became inter
ested in newspaper reports about activ-
tiles in packing town. and he sent two
committees to Chicago to investigate
Their reports convinced him that the
thing needed in the law was teeth. After
much sensational argument, every one
seemed to agree, so Congress put ON the
books the stringent act of 1906, COM
pete, effective, model measure that has
worked every hour since for the protec-
ton of the public against unwhoIcsome
food as well as for the development of
the nations live stock industry in remov-
ing the prejudices of foreign countries
against our meat exports.
Fundamentally, the law is based on
the principle of Interstate transportation
1t says that no meat can cross state IN

membrane, muscle and gland open to
pltlless scrutiny. Then. if it was picked
or smoked or went into can or casing,
1T must have been prepared without any
harmful preservative, and the can must
have been truthfully Tabled. Moreover,
the slaughter house must have been light,
clean, sanitary, the packing rooms like
kitchens, and every man or woman who
touched the meat must have been clean
and healthy and dressed in clean cloth

Cuba's Troubles

A special correspondent of the New
York Tribune writes from Havana that
Cuba is anxious to have the United States
assume control of the island, seeing no
other way out of Cuba's present difficult
ties. Cuba today needs financial assist
ance and also a strong hand to prevent
revolution growing out of the election
difficulties
Although 40 days have expired since
the election the result has not been OF
ficially announced in spite of the fact
that the law says the announcement shall
be made within this period. 1t is we'll
understood that the ma jority of the votes
thrown were cast for DIR. Zayas but it is
claimed that there was manipulation and
that the armed forces of the government
were used to terrorize the followers Of
General Gomez, who it is alleged, would
have been the cho ce of the people had
the election been a fair one.
Apparently the government is afraid
to announce the election of Zayas espec-
tally as the financial condition of the
island is SO bad. According to the state
ments the government supporters who
favored Zayas have started something
that they do not dare to carry through
and hence arises the talk of asking the
United States to again assume control of
Cuban tfai s.
The financial troubles arose from the
slump in the price of sugar. The island
during the war was very prosperous and
money was spent like water Then came
the slump and sugar dropped about 20
cents pound. 1t became necessary to
declare moratorium for the banks which
are still closed. Nobody is paying bills
and contracts are not beng fulfilled. the
situation is regarded as a very serious
one as may be seen by the fact that
American flnancers called in to give ad-
vice can see 1io course of action but to
allow the banks to fail if they cannot
weather the storm and many of them will
be unable to do that
We imagine that the Cubans will be
Obliged 10 work out their own salvation
as there will be little disposition in this
country to resume control of the island,

assistance may be Bangor

ENDOWMENT FUND PLANNED
Raise Large Sum to Aid Ex-
Service Men.

The Paris (France) post of the
American Legion has started a drive
for five milion-franc endowment
fund with which to meet the demand
made upon it daily by eX-service men
who are stranded, and by their famil-
les. The Paris post has been kept
busy helping former vets who were
sick, strengthening out legal tangles,
securing employment and helping the
stranded to get passage home.
The Paris post is obviously barred
from utilizing the usual method of
raising funds by entertainment for the
community, and has been forced to ap-
peal to the outside. The American
embassy and the consulate seni-offi-
cially recognize the posts work by re-
ferring hundreds of cases to it's off

CHEER UP

The country is passing through an ex-
traordinary period of deflation and basic
conditions are being strengthened by the
movement to restore the price level of
normal times. The readiustment has al
ready cancelled about 20 per cent. of the
average rise in commodity prices that has
taken place since the world war began
and, while the present level is still con-
siderably above that of 1913, the country
is eliminating the evils of initiation and
re-establishing business upon sound
basis. While such movement is always
attended with unsettlhment and note
worthy increase in commercial failures,
it must not be forgotten that nearly one
third of the worlds stock of money gold
underlies our credit structure and that
the United States has the safest and best
protected banking system in the world.
The country may be expected to give a
good account of itself, therefore, in the
readiustment period and emerge stronger,
vigorous and much more self-reliant tn an
in the days of exorbitant prices and easy
profits.
