STILL THE WINNER.

The other night a young man was
visiting his best girl, and he stayed
on and on until she became very
sleepy indeed. Also she had to work
the next day and thought it time for
him to go home. Finally she said:
Don't you think you had better
phone for a taxi to go home in?
It's so late now and there have been
several robberies out in this part Of
town after midnight"
The young man was visibly pleas

"Oh, yes, please do" he returned.

Thrift Unlike Pinehpenny
M W noro1jt


Thrift uses his time, his strength,
his mind intelligently, and makes his
money serve his needs and minister
to his pleasure. He labors hard at
things worth doing, but wastes no eff
fort on things not worth doing. He
has time fer Play, for observation.
for study. His hand opens quickly
when his head tells him it is time to
spend, or his heart counsels giving.
Thrift has learned to make the dol
lars he has earned work for him.
Pinchpenny sweats for his money,
and all his life long he is it's slave.
He fears to enjoy himself because he
fears to let go of his purse. He does
not dare to put out his money, being
haunted by the thought that it may
not come back to him. When OPP
portunity knocks at his. door he sends
word he is not at home and keeps on
counting coppers when he might send
them forth to bring back coins of
gold. Pinchpenny starves his mind

Probe to the Bottom

It would be doing the public no in
justice to suspect that it takes conn
paratively little stock in congression-
al Investigations: indeed an injustice
would be done to suppose anything
else. Nevertheless these occasionally
are productive OF some good and
serve to place on record for future
reference conditions which need to be
recorded and marked for the benefit
of future navigators. Furthermore
for our self respect as people it
will not do to ignore corruption and
Incompetence in governmental af-
fairs. So it is well that Mr.. Inter
meyer spoke as forcibly as he did re-
specting scandal touching our ma
tional department of justice.
Untermeyer has accomplished, all
things considered, remarkable results
already as counsel of the committee
investigating bribery and biackmail
in the building trades of New York.
He has been hampered and thwarted
by every means. known to Tammany
Hall and corrupt regime in the
great metropolis. Had he failed it
would not have been wondered at,
but he did not fail and he has been
able to materially assist in bringing
the naughty. high placed criminals to
their knees.
1t is to be assumed that he knows
much about evidence, it's value and
about the ways to draw it out and it
does not appear that he was endeav-
oring to create any political or per-
sonal capital when he declared that
our national honor is involved in the
scandals connected with the depart
of the alien property custodian law:
that 1.-The vast powers and patronage
Of those great Offices are said to have
been used, and it is the general be-
to build up a political machine which,
however, fortunately failed of it's
purpose. But the uses to which they
and their vast patronage were put
were none the less sinister because
they did not succeed"
He urges a nom partisan investiga-
ton, very difficult performance, by
the way, but one that should be at
tempted. AS he says, merciless ex-
posture is demanded of US; it should
include the high and the low, for
both are to be found in these expo
sures, and too often do we find that
the most powerful interests stoop to
collision with blacklegs and walking
delegates. Untermeyer himself has
succeeded in uncovering that sort of
brigandage in New York and we
would like to see him given like OPP
portunity in the national scandal.

On this page is pictured ne of the
most venerable Patrons in the State
of Maine. and yet one of the most
active, as he is now IS years old and
is still right in the harness, not only
in Grange affairs but in everything
that makes for the welfare OF his
community and State. This is Frank
lin w. Patterson, of Industry, in
Franklin county, who has the distinc-
tion of having served as master of
Industry Grange when he was "a
years old, a record perhaps equalled
by no other Patron in the United
States.
Mr.. Patterson was born in Industry,
June %. 1885, and is one of the best
known citizens of his town, having
lived there practically his entire life,
except the years from 1854 to 1868.
when he was located at different times
in California, Oregon, Washington,
Idaho, Montana, British Columbia and
Australia. His record of service in
various capacities in his home town is
very remarkable. Besides having
served several times as master of
Industry Grange, he has been a JUS
tice of the peace 40 years; was town
treasurer four years, first seiectman
20 years and town clerk Il years;
served as county commissioner nine
years; was a member of the Maine
State legislature in the years 1891
and 1903 and will serve again in 1921,
having been elected from his town
and district at the September election
by more than three-to-one vote; is
still serving as town clerk; has been
for many years chairman of the board
of trustees of the Methodist church
and janitor Of the church Is consecu-
tive years; has been for many years
chairman Of the republican town COM
mittee and is still alive and very well.
That Mr.. Patterson will be the old
est member of the coming State legis-
lature there is no question. He
retains very active interest in the
Grange, attends nearly every annual
session of the Maine State Grange
and is frequently seen at gatherings
of the Order in various parts of
Franklin county. From the following
history of the town of Industry is
taken this deserved estimate of Mr..
