Free Potash for The Farm.
Monroe, Me

Senator Hale has introduced in the sem
ate an amendment to the tariff bill pro-
viding that potash used in commercial
fertilizer shall be admitted free of duty.
Under the present tariff as reported to the
senate a duty is placed on potash for five
years ranging from two and one-half cents
a pound the first year to one cent per
pound in the fifth year. Under Senator
Hsle's amendment potash used in COM
mercial fertilizer would be admitted free
of duty. If this amendment is passed by
the senate it will mean saving to the
farmers of Maine of approximately $780,
600 dollars as there is annually used OF
It's. 900 tons of commercial fertilizer by
the Maine farmer alone.
1t is claimed by the Maine farmer that
the potash of American production has
damaged the potato crops on account OF
the borax it contained and that fields will
yield about so per cent, per acro OF the
crop as compared to the yield per acre
where foreign potash is used in the feIti-
lizer. 1t is claimed by the growers that
farmers in Maine especially in Aroostook
county have experienced tremendous
losses by using fertilizer containing Am
erican produced potash. A duty placed
on potash at this time would mean an un-
necessary burden not only to the farmer
in Maine but or rmers throughout the
country to carry. 1t is claimed by the
commissioner of agriculture at Augusta
that at least IL, 900 tons of potash are used
annually in Maine and that probably only
eight states use slightly more than that
amount Senator Hale is taking the lead
in the interest of the farmers of this
country to secure free potash salts for use
in central fertilizer and will fight for his
amendment on the floor of the senate
when the amendment is brought up for
and he will be ably support
ed by man, senators representing states
vitality interested in the proposed amend
ment.

FREQUENT mention is made of the "One

il and w. z. Foster is the deputy trouble
maker. who went to Russia some time
ago and paid visit to Lenine and held
ssr enuent consultations with the high
pats of Bols shevism in that ruined and
sta rving country. On Fosters return,
war was started against the railroad
bro therhood and other existing railroad
uni ons. In this direction the One Big
Union soon found that very large ma
iority of the railroad men would have
nothing to do with people who had de-
signs against wise and liberal form OF
government 1t is now evident that the
purpose of the One Big Union was to
absorb and dominate all labor organiza-
tions. Its sinister influence is seen in
the coal strike, in the textile strikes, and
in every instance the |. w. w., the Keds

see their leaders dominating a Russian

irving to disrupt the American Fedora
ton of Labor. The scum and refuse OF
that organization went over to the One
Big Union some time ago. and their exo-
.dus left the American Federation .of

SWAN LAKE

Nesting among the hills of Maine,
Easily reached by boat and train;
A prettier picture than artist can make,
Lies the mirror like waters OF lovely Swan
Lake.
Ii lies in three towns, Frankfort, Sears
port and Swanville;
Ii is wide near Blacks Corner and mar
rows down to the mill;
And its dimensions if I'm not wrong,
Is one mile wide and three miles long.
There are many cottages around its shore,
And we hope every year to see more and
more;
There are plenty of places to get good
board,
After you reach Belfast it is all State
road.
If for quiet vacation you arc wishing, .
Come to Swan Lake, there's all Kind OF
fishing;
If the truth of these lines you are in
doubt,
Come on your next vacation and you'll
soon find out.

Ie surfaced with gravel under the direc-
tion of Road Commissioner Goodrich.
The work of excavating the basement
of the new schoolhouse at the village has

High school building at Unity. The re-
quir rements for the new school house, as
provided for by the State Department of
Education, call for a two-room building
with a small auditorium on the rear for
the use of the pupils for entertainments or
for speaking. The basement will provide
ample room for heater and for storing
fuel. A large amount of lumber has been
landed on the lot and it is hoped the work
may progress as rapidly as possible.

VOCATIONAL TRAINING FOR
EX-SERVICE MEN

The Veterans Bureau reports that the
Federal government has expended S212,-
724, ,533 for the Vocatio al Education of
the disabled or partly disabled soldiers of
the late war. In this connection it is of
interest to note that the War Veterans
Bureau maintains an Office in Portland
which is branch of the Boston DEPART
ment "A school is also maintained in
Portland. The State of Maine is divided
into two districts or areas known as the
Portland area and the Bangor area. In
all there are about 700 men taking train
ing in this State, about $50 in each of
these areas The Portland school has an
enrolment of about 90. The men in train
ing in this school are learning elementary
education, if needed, blue print making,
auto mechanism and such other work as
can be successfully taught in the school,
and the courses which are pursued require
from one to two and half years for COM
pletion. Those who are not pupils in this
school, some 600 in number, are taking
their vocational training in industrial
plants in different parts of the State. In
Augusta there are "a of these men taking
their courses in various industrial or gen.
eral business plants. When it is consid-
cred that the work in this State was
authorized no longer ago than January
first of this year it will be seen that the
progress has been so marked that one can
confidently expect that within the next
year, vocational training for Maine ex-
soldiers, of the practical and helpful sort,
can be given right here, except to those
who desire to take advanced technical
training in special courses.

SAFETY FIRST

The international conference held in
Washington was in no degree political
conference and only so far as it lessened
national expenditures and blazed the
way for world peace, was it an economic
conference. 1t was in reality peace
conference, and a very successful one.
The conference now in session in Cen
GA is both political and economic in its
discussions and in its purposes, In which
are involved the interests of all Europe.
France and Germany are glaring at
each other across the Rhine; Greece and
Turkey, forced by the winter to cease
active hostilities, are reported to be pre-
pairing to resume fighting; Great Britain
has more than one hundred thousand SOL
diers under arms in the Near East; Po-
land is holding the dogs of war in leash
to defend herself from an expected at
tack by Russian boshevlstic forces, and
there is a general feeling of national dis
trust. fear or hatred. This, in brief, is
the political situation in Europe today,
and were it not for the fact that the ma
tions are war weary and impoverished,
it is probable that all Europe would be
drenched with blood in the not distant
future.
The economic condition in Europe, al
though quite as important in adjustment,
are secondary in sequence. 1t cannot be
greatly improved until after the political
atmosphere has been cleared If Europe
il to be saved she must work out her
own salvation nd bring forth fruits meet
for repentance. There must be renais
ssance of international honor. Fair deal
ing must take the place OF intrigue and
deception.
There are many who insist that the
United States GoverDmt mt should be-
come actively and intimately associated
with the conference which is sitting in
Genoa for the purpose of settling affairs
which are wholly European.
The quarrels of Europe are not our
souarrels. 1t certainly is not wise nor is
it the duty of the United States Govern
-nent to involve itself in the intrigues,
edeceptions and hatreds of the old world
at the present time. Our first duty is to
ourselves. Before we take part in Euro
pean conferences we have the right to
demand that the powers with whom we
confer shall have taken the initiative
and made some real progress in their
moral, political and economic regenera-
ton. Anything that the United States
could say or do now would probably do
harm and no good whatever. 1t isdoubt-
ful if there will ever come time when
! the voice of the United States would
! bring peace and amity in Europe. Ger
tainly such a time cannot come until all
the parties to the disputes have reacheo
the conclusion that they cannot, them-
selves, settle their contentious, and have
mutually agreed to submit those issues
ito some impartial and wise tribunal WITH
an agreement that the decision OF that
tribunal will be observed by all.

In circles where strict ceremony Is
observed. women seldom shake hands
when a man is presented to them. Even
in these frigtd zones, however newly

may be dropped for unceremonioas rea-

a certain degree Of intimacy proudly

Most of US are neither too ceremoni-
Gus nor too unceremonious TO refrain
from shaking hands when we encounter
friends. And there are right and wrong
ways OF shaking hands, toe. A limE
