Servitude
(The Public Ledger

(The Public Ledger)
~The poet Joyce Kilmer said in his
poem called 1.-The Peacemaker"
Upon his will he binds a radiant
chain,
For freedoms sake he is no longer
free.
It is his task, the slave of liberty.
With his own blood to wipe away
stain.
The finest title that can be given
man or woman is that of servant, and
the title is honorable in proportion to
the number of men and women SER
yed or else the depth and devotion
OF the service given a few, or even a
single one. 1t may be the ruler of a
country who is great because he is a
friend even to the weakest and the
least Of all his people. 1t may be a
simple humble woman who stays at
home and takes care of her mother.
Kilmer had the right idea. 1t was
the idea that sent young manhood of
America into the war, drafted or not.
He was one of those who went, and
his name lives in honor because of it
and the way he felt about it.
Try to escape service and the duty
and privilege of servant, and you
earn contempt now and oblivion after
you come to lie in the dust. Every
useful person must prove it by serv-
ing somehow, somewhere. There
are some trifiers and idlers who never
have known what it is to do a days
honest work for days wage They
do not matter. Their money bags

may win them popularity among
others as worthless as themselves,
but their prestige extends no further.
We have come to attach mean
notion to that word servant. We
talk Of being "servile" and of "serv-
ility," and we signify a cringing, OBJ
scquious, lick spittle attitude, want
ing in self-respect, not venturing to
raise the head or stiffen the backbone
to claim it's soul for it's own. But
that is not the true notion of service.
The service of one who has no mind
and no will of his own were better
want worth his pay intelligence and
misunderstanding a ready obed-
fence to orderS-are qualifications of
front-rank importance.
Any good citizen of his country or
OF the planet at large accepts servi-
tude. He abides by the law under
which we must agree to live if we
are to have peace and industrial sta
blity and a wholesome social con-
members Of the community are never
those WHO are studying ways W CIR
cumvent the general agreements as
t. dccency and honor and fair play.
, They are not those who are forever
ready to sncer at the average man as
poor spritless wretch because he
lives with his wife, supports his fam
lily, loves his children, pays his taxes,
goes to church, minds his business
and sweetcnS his existence with
plenty of clean fun on the side as he
gees along.
That is what the Bohemians, or the
cmancipated or the radicals may
consider being shackled to effcte
conventions and a strait jacketing
civilization; but it is not the votarists
OF lawlcss self Indulgence who get
the worlds work done and receive
the worlds affection or its confidence
because they arc good servants. If
you are not servant, what excuse
have you for taking up the room you
occupy on the face of this busy inter-
dependent earth? If you are not one
of the ancient and honorable COM
pany of servants, you had best re-
frain from boasting of the molan-
chOly fact of useleSsneSs.

Editors Letter Box
Shipping Eggs to China

Editor Kcnnebec Journal:
Dear Sir:-In the Kcnnebec Journal
of Nov. 3 there appeared chart with
statistics appended showing How
Farmers Share in Foreign Trade"
which contained some very misleading
transformation. AS there is consid-
cradle misleading matter about farm
ers conditions and foreign trade cir
culating through the city dailies. it is
worth while to give the kennebec Jour
nal readers facts.
First, it was stated that we have
exported more foodstuffs in volume
this year brk less in value because of
reduced prices. and that the big foreign
demand is tending to increase prices
and advance the returns to American
farmers.
According to the figures given in the
Monthly Summary Of Foreign Com
mcrce prepared by the Department of
Commerce our exports of farm prod
ucts are less in quantity for most Of
the major products. Through large
decline in exports of wheat UP to Octo-
Der !, our exports of cereals and all
grains are 100000 blu. less the COR
responding period last year. We have
gained 37,000,000 bushels in corn eX-
ports and lost nearly 125,000,000 in
wheat exports. Rice shows a decline
of 200. O00, 900 pounds. Beef has de-
clined about 100000 pounds, pork
products over 2OO,oOo.ooO pounds,
milk over 100000 pounds, cheese over
6. 900, 900 butter gained over 2,00O.ooO.
1t is true that September and october
exports show a gain over summer
months, but if our exports of farm
products for 1922 equal in quantity the
exports for 1921 there will have to be
record increase during Novem-
Der and December.
Second China is buying American
eggs in large quantities. During 1921
China bought approximately $4,000 900
worth of American eggs and the 1922
trade will be nearly as great That
is the limit. If the Washington writer
Of that stuff had taken time to get a
Monthly Summary for December 192l,
he could have informed himself that
all our exports of eggs for the year
were valued at s10S00.O00. of which
Cuba, Mexico, Canada and United
Kingdom took all but about 100000
worth And if China took any she is
included in "Othcr Countries who
bought $1,000 worth.
China buying s1o.ooo,ooo worth of
American eggs. 1t is enough to make
every rooster rush off and try to lay
China eggs.
Very truly yours,
3. \. MEAD.
