THE ORLEANS COUNTY FAIR
Biggest and Best for Many Years
in Every Feature

ucts handled by this concern includ-
ing furnaces, Delco lighting system,
washing machines, Louden barn
equipment, Miller lightning rods,
roofing, paints and complete line of
radio equipment.
The Barton Auto Exchange had
large display of Jewett, Paige and
Chevrolet cars, and there was a dis
play of Studebaker cars by 1. c. Bry-
ant of Newport, and of Oldsmobiles
by A. j. Hunt of Derby Line.
The midway was lively every min
ute of the time with the usual attrac-
tions that go with a county fair.
The poultry house was overfowing,
| 1T being necessary to use the building
usually devoted to dogs to house the
large number of entries and even with
this added room the geese and ducks
had to be arranged in tiers on the
outside of the building.
The exhibits of cattle and swine,
sheep and horses proved a big mag
net to the horse and stock enthusi-
asts.
The ball game Thursday between
Sranac Lake, N. Y, and the Fair
banks A. A. of ST. Johnsbury proved a
fast game, Saranac Lake winning the
game in the ninth inning by a score

The cavalcade of stock was unus-
ually interesting as the starter kept
his audience well informed as to what
exhibit was before his hearers. The
parade finished with two goat teams,
one single and one a double hitch.
The races were exceptionally good.
The track was in good condition and
fast time resulted in most of the
classes.
c. H. Trafton of Sanford, Me-, was
the starter and gave splendid salts
faction.
One of the sensations of the racing
event was the mile made by Caruso,
a racer owned by Carl Bean of Glow
er, whose driver was thrown in the
start of the last heat of the 230
mixed race Wednesday afternoon.
Despite the absence of the driver
Caruso kept his place for the full mile
and finished the heat in position and
in fourth place in field of 10 start
ers without mishap, a most remark
able feat.
The summary of the races follows:

BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial Despatch to The Reformer)
Copyright 1922.
WASHINGTON, March 31.-Amer-
ica's problem with respect to German
property held in the United States is
growing acute.
To give back the property to the Ger
man owners. it has just been discov-
cred, would mean virtual confiscation
by the German government and the pro-
ceeds would go INTO the national treas
ury either for government uses. or to
pay PREPARATIONS to the allied govern
ments. 4
Col Thomas w. Miller. alien property
custodian. who has been working on the
,angle for months. has presented
plan to President Harding out of which
it is expected a policy soon will be
evolved.
Here are the essential objects which
it is sought to attain by the plan:
1. American citizens whose relatives
lost their lives in the Lusitania or who
lost property at the hands of Germany
during the war shall be paid.
>. German citizens who have small
estates which have been seized by the
American government shall not be made
70 suffer unduly but should have their
property back as soon as possible and
the German government shall be re
quired to agree not to apply its severe
tax laws to this particular property.
3. Instead of permitting the German
government to confiscate through taxa
ton the bulk of the estates held by the
alien property custodian, the American
government shall use portion OF the
proceeds to pay American claims and a
portion as collateral for a huge trading
corporation which shall help re-estab-
lish commercial relations between the
United States and Germany. One hun
bred million dollars of German assets
held by the American government would
be sufficient basis. it Is calculated, Tor
4 billion dollar credit There are Ger
man owners with a hundred million
dollars worth of property here who have
expressed a strong desire to have their
assets pooled IN such a quasi govern
ment corporation which would operate
under the Edge law
L. 5. Opposes COniiScatiOn.
While the Harding administration is
not committed to any specific proposals
and is still welcoming suggestions. II Is
true, that the plan submitted by Colonel
Miller is the first official solution which
has been brought forward
The United States government Is. OF
course. opposed to contiscation OF the
German property and does not intend
to sanction any such scheme. The new
plan. therefore. attempts to use approx
ilnatey that portion of German assets
which would go to the German govern
ment instead of its citizens.
Copies of the German tax law have
been received here and have been care
fully studied. There is nothing in

be given a portion Of their estates back
and the remainder would be converted
into stocks or bonds in the new credit
corporation. ont of the profits of which
it is estimated American claims against
Germany could easily be paid. 1T would
Ike some years to reap enough profit
TO pay all the claims but the American
treasury could anticipate the profits OF
the corporation by paying claims IN ad-
vance.
Exact Amount Unknown.
The exact amount ef the American
claims against Germany VIII not be
known until the American-German
claims commission, soon 10 be set up
h3 treaty and With Germany gets into
qilm viii not amount to more than
00.000O0O. though nobody knows eX-
cept from historical experience, winch
shows that the final adjudication cuts
the claims down materially In any
event the amount of German property
held in America is more than Sumcleht
t. permit the return Of estates OF under
$4,000 and some think even higher ana
still have enough left to establish the
credit corporation and give back some
percentage to the owners OF estates
above $4,000.
As for Austrian property. or rather
the assets of citizens OF the former AUS
tro-Hungarian empire which now has d
vided into Poland. RoumanIa. Serbia
and Czecho-Slovakia. the claims OF
American citizens are considered Tela-
fiyelv negligible. So it is proposed to
give back all the property seized from
nationals of the former Austro-Hunga-
1 rian empire.

WHERE THE OLD TRAIL GOES
GOES DOWN THROUGH THE
CUMBERLAND VALLEY"

"The Wilderness Road to Ken
lucky" by William Allen Pussy, has
just been published by George H.
Doran Company. This book with
various maps and illustrations deals
with the early trials of our pioneer
days. DR.. Pussy has been able with
the assistance of diaries and books
of other days to bring together all
the data that explains and locates
the Wilderness trail.
DR.. Pussy explains the use that
Daniel Boone made of this winding
road and the important part it play
ed in the lives of the early settlers
who led their families and household
goods over the hills to "Caintuck. :"
All the old landmarks, the stones
that mark the fall of the pioneer be-
fore the onslaught of the Indian,
complete treatment of the highway
that fed the settlers of Kentucky.
There are some charming pictures
of the Cumbeland Mountains in the
book which offer an invitation for
the motorist who is weary of we'll
worn State highways. DR.. Pussy
seems to feel that with the advent of
the motor, the Wilderness Road
will come to mean as much in the
pleasure of peoples lives as in the
earlier days it formed the main
route of civilization westward.
There is beauty and loveliness in
this old trial and it will delight the
jaded motorist in search of new
country.
