PARIS, Nov. 26.-Statistics of export

ROUND TRIP IN A DAY

Liquor running by airplanes from
Montreal to Long Island points has
become so profitable that many avi-
ators, including one of the foremost
fiiers in America, have entered the
bootlegging game, according to Frank
j. Hale and James l.. Kerrigan. Fed

Jersey coastal counties.
Ayiators inclined toward the adj
venture of liquor running, said kerri-

difficulty in getting financial back

ceeding the supply, he declared. re
sponsible business men are underwrit-

I'VE know of one instance" asserted
Kerrigan. where Wall Street broker
made arrangements for an aviator to
obtain, cargoes of liquor in Montreal.
The liquor was purchased by the broker.
The full story cf his operations has
been told us by this particular aviator.
but we cannot make an arrest ,untH we
have absolute evidence on whicn 10
build a case.
THE aviator who conspired with the
broker to bring liquor over the border
went into the bootlegging game, he told
u.s. more en- dare than as money
making scheme. The profits were so
large, however. that he continued to
make trips to Montreal. Forty-five trips
between Montreal and a Long Island
landing field netted this aviator alone
$4,000 for summers work. The round
trip from Montreal to his Long Island
landing field, he said was made in q
day. The distance is about 700 miles.

''This man was under verbal con-
tract, according to his story, to supply
liquor to a group of wealthy men asso-
ciated with the broker who had under
written the flights. On each one of his
trips he brought over the border thirty
five cases of whisky, for which he re-
ceived $40 a case as a transportation
fee. The liquor previously had been pur-
chased by the broker. After he had dis
charged his cargo without being appre-
hended there was no danger In his adj

TAX CHANGES.
Many nuisance" Taxes Have Been
Done Away With


Done Away With.
Many changes in federal taxes
went into effect with the beginning
of the new year. Here are few of
the ways in which they will affect
you:
When you ride on railroad
train or an inland or cOastwise
steamer, you no longer will have to
pay the government per cent of
the amount of your fare and per
cent of the cost Of your seat, berth
or stateroom.
When you ship freight, you will
not be assessed an extra 8 per cent
of the cost Likewise you can send
packages by express or parcel post
without having to give up "war
tax"
When you visit the drug store for
bottle of proprietary medicine, a
tube of paste, a toilet preparation,
or the like, you will escape the vexa-
tious stamp taxes.
When you go to soda fountain,
you no longer will find Uncle Sam
holding out his hand for penny on
each ten-cent drink or fraction that
you pay the clerk for drink or
plate of ice-cream.
II you want to sport pair Of
shoes costing more than $40 or a
shirt costing more than So, you will
not have to pay out tax. These and
all of the other so-called luxury
taxes on clothing, as we'll as those
on umbrellas, parasols, sun shades,
picture frames, trunks, valises,
pocketbooks, etc., have gone into the
discard.
If you live in a place that still can
boast Of ten-cent movie show or
other place of amusement, you will
not be assessed penny tax. If the
charge exceeds ten cents, however,
you will continue to pay a war levy
at the present rate of cent for each
ten cents or fraction.
All heads of families with depend,
ents will get slight reduction in
their income tax during the new year
the extent being IS for each depend
ent as result of the increase from
$500 to $500 in the exemption ON &C
count of dependents.
If you are married, and your net
income in 1921 was $4,000 or less
however, you will get a still further
reduction in taxes, as the normal ex-
| emption for married men in this
class has been increased from $4,000
to $4,000. Single men are given nc
additional exemption, and can de.
duct only $1,000 from their net in.
come.
If your income is such as to put
you in the surtax paying class, you
will pay in 1922 at the old-time wal
rates, but in 1923 you will pay al
the new rates, which provide fol
some reduction all along the line.

England was excepted from the bene-

the other New England states for
the same reduction. Now, it is un-

the reduction, while the Maine Cen

not as yet. This leaves Maine alone
in the fight. No one doubts that

OBITUARY.
MRS. A. w. CURTIS.


Laura E. Schoppee, wife of A. w.
Curtis, died yesterday afternoon at
her home on Lincoln street, after an
illness of only few days. Mrs
Curtis was out last Wednesday, but
Thursday morning suffered a slight
i'll turn. She was about the house
until Saturday, but grew gradually
weaker, and dropped away at
o'clock yesterday.
Mrs. Curtis was born in Machias
May II, 1S43, and lived there until
her marriage to Mr.. Curtis in May,
1867. After year or two on a
farm in Hancock, they came to Ellis
worth which had ever since been
her home.
Mrs. Curtis was woman who
will be much missed in the COM
munity,, where for years she had
been the one called upon by many
families in case of illness, and was
always ready with assistance. She
was member of the Methodist
church in Machias, and a charter
member of Nokomis Rebekah lodge,
and it's first chaplain.
Mr.. and Mrs. Curtis have enjoyed
together much more than the aver
age span of married life. Two chill
dren were born to them-a son,
who died in infancy, and
a daughter, Bertha, who was
married to Hollis B. Estey,
and who lost her life in the
Mt. Desert Ferry accident twenty
two years ago. They found Sec
ond son in Mr.. Estey, who has since
lived with them, bringing to them
also another daughter in his second
wife.
The sympathy Of the community
goes out to Mr.. Curtis now in this
separation after more than fifty-four
years of close and devoted COM
partnership. Mrs. Curtis leaves
also one brother, Charles Schoppee,
of Machias.
The funeral will be held at the
home tomorrow afternoon at
o'clock.

OSCAR FELLOWS DEAD.

Passed Away Wednesday,.
Oscar F. Fellows, for many years
one of the best known attorneys of
the Hancock county bar, but for the
past ten years practicing in Bangor,
died last Wednesday at him home in
Bucksport, after long period of ill
health. Mr.. Fellows was siXty-four
years of age.
The career of Oscar Fellows from
his admission to the bar in 1881 I'M
til failing health compelled him to
relinquish his practice about two
years ago, was one of tireless activ-
ity and marked with steadily increas-
ing recognition and honors. He
ranked high in the legal profession
and not infrequently was mentioned
as possibility for the supreme
bench.
His practice was large and varied
and he was one of the most promi-
nent and loyal citizens of his home
town, identified with many of it's in
stitutions. Always keenly interested
in republican politics, he became one
OF the leaders in the county organic
