CONTRADICTORY EVIDENCE

Mr.. Walter Lyman Brown, who for the
mast three years has acted as director of
American relief administration in Eur
one. says:-"Russia is much better off
than last year as there is plenty of grain
aor alp and that "the only question is to
have it efficiently and equitably distrib-
uted." He adds, however, that it will be
needful to keep 100 of his agents in the
country till nsxt spring to see that sup
solies 60 where they are needed.
On the other hand, the official newspa-
per OF the soviet government says there is
an alarming return of famine conditions
in many districts and mentions several
in which there is a total of about half a
million people who now are living unoer
famine conditions, and adds the predlc-
tion that this winter will bringra repeti-
ton of last years horrors. The above
soviet statement is corroborated by the
French Service Committee, an organlza-
tion of Ouakers which has been doing
extensive relief work in Russia.
These conflicting statements leave US
in some doubt regarding the actual ex-
tent of famine conditions in Russia, but
It is safe to conclude that there will be no
areat improvement while the country is
dominated by man who is an avowed
enemy to law and order, whose whole
aim is to tear down nnd who has no in
sention to rebuild on safe foundation

Germany lost the war. There is no
doubt about that and when she signed the
Versailles treaty she knew that she had
pledged her honor to fulfil its require
ments. From the hour when she assum-
ed the obligations of that treaty she has
played a game of bluff and has done so
with marked skill and success. Ihls 10
no concern of ours because the United
States and Germany ratified an indepen-
dent treaty. but it is of the greatest i'm
portsnce to the European allies, on ac'
count of both moral and financial consid-
erations. The unfortunate fact is that
after the treaty was signed the European
allies, united during the war, ceased to
be allies after peace was declared. Great
Britain and France have been at open
disa erecment ON several important mat
tiers and Italy having obtained little con-
8 liberation for her part in the war has
apparently given up hope OF getting any.
thing worth while out of reparations or
indemnities and mas not Joined force with
either Great Britain or France In any
positive way. Both Great Britain and
France have been gradually withdrawing
their armies of occupation and Germany
is holding off the diplomats. 1t seems to
us that the time is net far distant when
Germany. if dealt with at all, must be
treated as she treated France after the
close of the Franco-Prussian war.

What is a Cord Of Wood.

What is a cord of wood2 Newspapers
of Connecticut have carried some inter
estine discussions of the subject since
the coal strike made cord wool a mousse
hold necessity, but A. E. Moss, forester
at Connecticut College, adds some inter
estine facts.
While a cord of wood is accepted as
pile of wood feet high, 4 feet wlue' o
feet long and containing l2S cuoic Ieet, ~
seems that cords of the same dimensions
may vary largely in contents. AccoIuIns
to Mr.. Moss, the average cord oil wooo
contains 35 cubic feet of wood ana As
cubic feet of air. Straight sticks and
large sizes give the greater content OF
wood, while, small, crooked sticks give
the least wood and the most air or waste
space. Big, straight sticks are better
than small straight sticks, because tnere
is less space taken up by bark.
The shorter the sticks,the closer lney
will pile, saws Mr.. Moss. A cord OF wooo
cut into l6 inch lengths will pile INTO q
space of about los cubic feet, while
cord of wood cut into IL inch lengths
will occupy only o5 cubic feet. A core
of wood, thrown loosely into box VIII
occupy l4O cubic feet. In other WORDS,
cord of wood is not always what II seems

THANKSGIVING

By Margaret E. Sansster.
For all true words that have been spoken.
For all brave deeds that have been
done,
For every loaf in kindness broken,
For every race in valor run,
FOR martyr lips which have not failed
To give God praise and smile to rest,
wor knis shfly souls which have not quailed
At stubborn strife or lonesome quest;
lord. unto whom we stand in thrall,
We give Thee thanks for all, for ALL
For each fair field, where golden stuooie
Hati followed wealth of waving grain;
For every passing wind of trouble
Which bends thy grass that lifts aeain;
For gold in mine that men must seek,
For work which bows the sullen knee;
For strength, swift sent to aid the weak,
For love by which we climb to Thee;
Thy freedom, Lord, yet each thy thraii,
We give Thee praise fcr Ell. for all.

F6-ONuMIZE IN USING HARD COAL

sufficient amount of hard coal is at
hand to supply the immediate necessities
of the people in Belfast and vicinity
srbere are promises Of more to follow, but
N. limited States Geological Survey tells
- =. at the production of anthracite up
~. nth Of this year was less than
# the production during the same
"a of last year. For % weeks of this
wear, from April to Sept. 9. the entire
output for the whole period was less than
one-fourth of the normal output for
de week. Hard coal output for the
,l.et two months has been somewhat
above the normal and cannot be further
sncreased to any great extentthls winter.
There must be rigid economy in the use
of hard coal and other fuels must be useo
whenever possible or there will be a coal
famine in many localities, If not here.
The cumulative production Of soft coal
Tor the year, to date, shows decrease OF
less than per cent from the like PERIOD
of last year and it is likely that TINS a.
crease has been made up by increased IN
portstions. 1t is believed that only car
shortage can prevent dealers from secur-
ing considerable supplies of soft coal. In
more thsnl half of our states little OF no
anthracite is used, soft coal being used
instead, both for cooking and for furnace
use. Several Of cur aceuaintances, mere
and elsewhere, are getting satisfactory
results from its use.

The People of Maine
are doing the job
for themselves

A score of years ago, lots of people talked
about the need of developing Maine water
powers; but only few did anything about it.
These few, with far-seeing judgment and
rare courage, actually went at the task
AS long as the project was in an expert
mental stage they financed it themselves.
Then, when the financial solidity of the COM
panies was assured, and when large amounts
of capital were necessary to do the big work
in big way, these men went to the people of
Maine and enlisted their financial backing.
Today the splendid development of Maine
water powers is due to the efforts Of the peo-
pie of Maine in backing the enterprise, the
foresight and the business experience and
Judgment of Maine corporations. They are
doing the job the only way it could be done.
Today more than 5000 Maine people are,
as stockholders, backing Central Maine Power
Company in it's work Of developing Maine.
Every one of them has always received
promptly on time his regular quarterly dv-
dend check.
You, too, can help the men of Maine to
do Names biggest jobthe development of

sides an investment of good yield and high

She has gone to Europe and found the
body of her soldier son. Mrs. John Lowe
of Atlantic avenue, left for Europe, in
midsummer for that purpose and sue
cess has been awarded her. While the
task seemed almost hopeless, Mrs Lowe
upon leaving the United States, carried
the firm belief that she would find the
body. She has crossed t e Atlantic fully
20 times and feels very much at home
over there, although she likes Maine
