THE MOSLEM MENACE

The Allied army at Constantlnople
is composed of $1,000 men. There are
in the population of that city, hun
bred times as many people. Now
that a Moslem leader, Mustapha
Kemal, with an army of 100000, is
victorious over the Greeks and
sweeping them out of territory oc-
cupied by the Turks before the war,
many adherents of the Mohammedan
faith are fevered with the desire to
sweep all dogs of unbelievers away
from the path of Moslem expansion.
Those who recall the lives lost by
the Allies and Greeks in the futile
though bloody effort to take Con-
stantinople from the Turks will APP
preciate deep reasons why the Allies
would be unwilling to surrender the
advantage of possession. They may
differ on other points, their interests
do conflict in the Near East. Italy
fears France and her interests at
some points run counter to those Of
England. France is committed to
Italy's competitors, is disposed to
dicker with the Turk for her own
advantage and has done so. Indeed
it is doubtful whether Mustapha
Renal could have made his successes
but for the influence of France, that
now is on anything hut agreeable
terms with England. 1t is just the
sort of situation out Of which for
several hundred years Turkey, as the
sick man of Europe" has been able
to command all the delicacies Of the
sick room and all the attention per-
mitted to an invalid. All the Mo-
hammedan world is filled with unrest
and ambition today as never since the
old days of the Saracens. In India
and in Egypt affairs are difficult to
keep in hand.
In the face of such conditions it
would seem the European nations
must see a threat to which all in
greater or less degree are exposed
The folly of surrendering control of
the Dardanelles to the Turks would
be supreme. Indications are that
they recognize this and have control
Of the strategic positions and are dis
posed to hold them. So long as they
do this England's fleet could easily
quell any uprising in Constantinople
and destroy any army which it now
seems likely that Renal could master.

THE BONUS SITUATION

Months ago President Harding told
Congress that the condition OF the
finances of this country at that time
was such that a bonus bill which he
would approve must be accompanied
by some provision for raising the
money.
Various expedients have been pro-
posed but the committee of confer
ence has dropped them all and the
proposition us served up to the Pres
ident in the law. Has the financial
condition of the country SO changed
as to warrant a change in his atti-
tudc?
II so, arrangements will have to be
made to raise at least four billion
dollars over the period arranged for.
Seventy eight millions will be re-
qulrcd in the beginning and next
year ninety-two millions more. The
year following that it is estimated
1870, 000.0 900 more will be required.
This money must come from the tax

WORDS OF POOR TASTE

II has been said that familiarity
breeds contempt. Here perhaps is
an instance where unfamiliarity with
the sentiment OF the country bred
contempt for the prohibition law,
though possibly familiarity with the
beverage so tabooed may have pleju-
diced.
The Governor of Nova Scotia,
speaking in New York-possibly at
tempting a witticism-said: 1--WE
have quite numte of rum runners
who go from Nova Scotia to your
country. Be kind to them. for they
are thinking Of you. and they know
that you need 1t. The stuff they
bring Is good"
We hardly think this little speech
viii appeal to the taste, however
much the stuff" he lauds might do
-. Considering the depths Of deg
Rdation and crime in which rum
vunning Is now wallowing even the
ylessing Of the governor of Nova
Scotia will hardly suffice. Should he
happen to be financially interested in
selling Canadian rum in the States
no would be we'll advised to sell out.

Better Men as well
AS Plants Burbank

santa Rosa. Cal, Sept. lab,
the Associated Press NIf fulfillmen,
comes TO the hopes and ideals of Lu-
ther Burbank, foremost plant breede,
OIL the world, history also will record
his influence in the developing ot
pelter men, as well as better plants
Tor he regards Improvement of man
KIND as greater work than improve
ment of plant species.
Il hope that the same laws. as ia,
as practicable, which l have discov-
ered and demonstrated in plant life
VIII be applied to the Improvement
or human life" said the dean of plant
scientists in his Santa Rosa home.
This IN measure, can, must and
will be done," he asserted.
Although every possible minute OF
Burbank's day is given to his plant
experiments, he is glad to give time
to civic affairs, specially to the 30,
Scouts, playground activities anG
school doings, for in these he sees the
beginning of the application to man
kind of his principles of plant breed
ing.
My time is all too short to do all
l wish and hope yet to do" he saws
The Improvement of plants, accord
ing to Burbank, is in it's earliest in
fancy, but "the possibilities are limit
less" he declares.
In mechanics and electricity great
progress already has been made. but
as every scientist knows, it is hardly
a beginning" says Burbank, in com
pairing mechanical and plant know
ledge. e.
After sixty years of plant breeding
he enunciates the principle "Plants
are pliable and amenable to the will
of man, but this has never been sur
missed by the general public until the
last twenty-five years"
Agricultprists few years ago re-
ported to Burbank that the tall stalks
on which sunf1owers grew made il
unhandy to harvest the seeds. Bur-
bank set to work on the problem
and this year is marketing seeds of
a new sunflower, which grows on a
three foot stalk. The bloom has been
SO greatly enlarged that it is a heav-
Ter producer of seeds than other var
leties and the seeds are white.
Next year he will give the world
six new peaches, a new prune which
does not need to be dipped before
drying, a new plum and a new nee
tarine. He has also been working
several years on potatoes in the hope
of producing new variety which
will rival his famous Burbank
grown and used in greater quantity
than any other, and after countless
experiments has narrowed his expert
mental varieties down to sixty, from
which he will eventually bring out
one or more varieties for the world. u

giving a bit more of his attention
than ever before to the development

An address of welcome was mado by
Rev Violet Bagley of Kenduskeag and
a flag drill was executed by school
children. An excellent dinner cheered
up the veterans, served by the women
of the Mystic Tie Grange.
1t was voted to hold the next re-

to that effect being accepted by the
association.
In the afternoon various mel -.bers
Of the regiment offered remarks and a

veterans discussed the exploits OF
their famed regiment, noted for many
deeds of bravery. On the records OF
Congress is printed the fact that this
regiment lost more men in one battle
than any other group in the whole

Nature Loves Bright Co|ors

We see the truth of this statement
in the varicolored flowers. the vivid
sunsets. the birds Of brilliant plumage.
But We never see it exemplifed more
attractively than in the person of
splendidly healthy woman. How does
nature paint this health? Why in the
rosy cheeks. the transparent skin, the
smooth red lips of such a woman. And
she molds it in firm flesh and rounded
contours. The ailing woman is def
cient in natural coloring, and she does
not even appear to advantage in
clothes that would set off her more
attractive sister. Many women who
long for glowing health will find that
they, too, can have these charms if
they will give a trial TO that remedy
which brings strength to frail women

mouth of the mine. The charge was
$3.50 last March. If this increase IN
price by the independent operator IN
this case is to be regarded as lndl-
eating the course of all the indepen-
dents, and it probably does, the ex-
pected has come to pass, and there
will be a general increase in the re-
tail price. 1t has been minated that
the big companies which took over
the mine properties formerly owned
by the coal carrying railroads Will
not advance their prices, but in New
York 40 per cent. of the anthracite
consumed comes from the mines OF
the independents. In the absence OF
q law preventing the independents
from charging more at the mine than
is charged for the company coai the
bill of the ultimate consumer, who is
the householder, will be correspond
ingly increased 1t is apparent that
in the present shortage of anthracite
there is no reason to expect that
competition will have even the eX-
tremely limited influence that it may
exert upon the price in normal times
Exclamation of the increase in price
in this case is promptly forthcoming
1t is stated that eighty cents of the
dollar will go to cover the cost OF
maintaining the mines during the
strike. The other twenty cents is
represented by the tax tpon sales
imposed by the State of Pennsylvania
and by the cost of additional safety
devices required by law Consumers
are asked not only to pay the tax
but to bear the cost of keeping the
mines. in condition while they were
idle. Again evidence is given that
when there is a strike the public is
expected to pay the bills. And, OF
course, the added charge at the mine
will not be the sum total of the in
crease charged the New York house
holder. 1t is believed that it will be-
come q dollar and a half by the time
the coal is in the bin. When "com-
pany cOar' comes into the market, it
is stated, the fuel administration may
succeed in averaging the higher and
lower prices at the mines, so that
there will not be passed along to the
householder more than the actual in
crease in the cost For that the ulti-
mate consumer should be duly CRATE
full.
