A BUTTERFLY FARM.

Mrs. Virgil P. DeCoster's butterfly
farm in Buckfield is one of the unique in
dustries of Maine. Like many unusual
methods of making money, it is an out
growth of something undertaken for per-
sonal pleasure Mrs. DeCoster as girl
was interested in nature studies, especi-
ally butterflies, land as her children be-
came large enough to understand such
things, she began instructing them con-
cerning butterflies. AS part of this in
struction she attempted the breeding of
the moths which turn into butterflies,
and after time found that she could sell
the product of this f rm. Since then the
business has grown SO that she imports
hundreds of valuable butterflies from all
parts of the world and breeds them here.
Her customers are nature students in all
parts of the United Sta tes, as well as
persons engaged in making fancy china
ware and plscques, which they decorate
with the butterflies. Besides growing
butterflies, Mrs. DeCoster conducts. a
large poultry business, and this year her
incubators have hatched 1000 chickens

This Will Satisfy the u. S.

The London Times recently published
an editorial advocating the issuance of
bonds for the payment of war debts due
from Great Britain to the United States
thus setting an example to the rest of the
world by discardins all attempts at COM
promise with the United States. The
American viewpoint is presented by the
Times in a convincing way. 1t is shown
that the money loaned to Europe during
the war did not come out of great sur
piuses in the United States Treasury, but
was raised through the sale of bonds to
the American people themselves, includ-
ing the farmers of the West who have
recently been the victims of distressing
financial reverses. The British people
are urged to get away from the idea that
Wall Street is the whole United States
N hile the sentiment of some of the in
ternatlonal bankers of New York is un-
doubtedly in favor of the remiss on of a
part or all of the loans the Times points
out that there is a vast country and many
millions of people west of New York who
do not take kindly to the suggestion that
they shoulder the debts rlghtfuly owed
by Europe. 1t is recommended that the
debts be treated in a business like way,
thereby not only enhancing British
American relations, but enabling Great
Britain to turn her attention to European
restoration with the knowledge that her
treatment of the American debt can be
taken as firm foundation for other set
Elements.
The note struck by the lines editorial
is refreshing contrast to the atmosphere
of evasion, compromise, and cancellation
that has surrounded almost every men,
ton heretofore of debt settlement.
1t is hoped that the sentiments express
ed by the London Times will find a re-
sponse in the sound sense of the leaders
of British thought. ureat Britain has an
opportunity that has never been present.
ed before, and that probably will never
come again. BY merely acknowledging
her debt to America, and setting about
arranging for its payment without fur
ther ado, she can set an example of in
ternational morality that will add i'm
measurably to her prestige in Europe and
her position in the rest of the world. The
cultivation of close relations with the
United States, which she declares is of so
much concern to her, would be stimulated
as by no other means. She would have
at hand an effective argument with which
to induce nations that owe her money to
hquidate their Indebtedness. British citi-
zens could point with pride to their moth
er country as the leader of the Old World
in standards of common honesty.

EIGHT ARGUMENTS AGAINST til
ISSUING OF TAX EXEMPT Sc
CURITIES.

Eight reasons why the issuance OF tax
exempt securities should be stopped were
advanced by the congressional ways and
means committee in its recent resolution
recommending the passage of Legislation
prohibiting the issuance OF such securl-
ties
AS the committee sees it, tax exemp-
ton does all of the following things;
|. Causes a great loss of revenue by
permitting large portion of property to
escape taxation.
2. Violates the ability principle of
taxation and disctiminates unfairly be-
tween taxpayers.
3. lmpedes private financing.
4. Discourages investment in new en-
terprises.
5. Encourages extravagances OF gov
ermental agencies.
g. Grants private subsidy to certain
interest
7. Increases he rate of interest re-
quired for all enterprises not carried on
by the government and thereby adds TO
the cost of living, because under 1t
money is withdrawn from private enter
prise.
8 Creates social unrest.
The committee proposes a constitution
al amendment prohibiting the issuance
of tax exempt securities, declaring that
they permit the establishment of priv
ileged class of wealthy investors who en-
Joy all of the benefits of public expendi j..
lures but who pay no share of them, and
that the added burden of taxation is
thrown on those with small incomes.
The committee reported that at the close
of 1921 there were at least S15, 1000, O0O, :
600 of tax exempt securities in exist
ence and that during the last year 81, :
600, 600, 900 worth of tax exempt securi-
ties were issued, with Indications that
the amount this year will be about the

u. S. POTASH NOW CLEAR OF
BORAX.

American potash is now of degree of
purity well within the standard set by the
United States Department of Agriculture,
according to a statement by the Bureau
of Soils. Borax has been the only deleter-
ious substance found in American potash,
ana the quality of the materials produced
during I919-1922 show the producers have
met the requirement of the department.
Under the present method of producing
potash at Searles Lake, Calf, there no
longer exists the former danger to crops
from the presence of borax in the ferti-
liZer.
The department has followed closely
the course of American potash production,
not only with view to assisting In es-
tablshing commercial sources of potash
but also to maintaining a quality that
would be suitable for use as fertilizer
without fear of injury to crops. During
the summer of 1919. the attention of the
department was directed to injury to
crops by the use of fertilizers. The injury
was widespread and serious especially to
the tobacco and cotton crops of the cas-
tern districts of North and South Caro-
lima and to the potato crop of Maine.

A DELIGHTFUL RETREAT.

Hersey Retreat, the Universalist Sun
day school summer playground at Sandy
Point, named after its donor, General
Samuel F. Hersey, is now in full swing.
Five different parties, each staying live
days, are scheduled to visit the retreat.
Each group includes 33 persons, mostly
young people under 10 years accompanied
by their parents
The first group was expected to return
sometime Wednesday and the second
party will leave Thursday in automobiles.
Programs of swimming, boating and
general sea shore activities provide plenty
of diversion
Officers of the Hersey Retreat organiza-
ton are Mrs Fred Meinecke, chairman;
George |. Mansur, secretary and treas
Mrs. F. c. Chalmers, Mrs. E. E. Jordan,
Charles H. Adams and Carl Danforth,

SIDNEY MORSE BIRD.

Sidney Morse Bird, who was for some
time sufferer from tuberculosis, but who
fought it with all the courage of his in
domitsbe spirit, gave up the fight on
Monday night at the home o his parents
on Broadway, where he had been since re-
turning from Saranac Lake in May. Mr..
Bird underwent an operation in Montreal
last January, but it was to no avail, and
he was brought back to his home in
Rockland which he loved so well, where
he has faced the end with that calmness
and cheerfulness of spirit which he had
shown ever since it was realized that his
condition was hopeless.
Born in Rockland on August 9, 1883, he
lived all his life in this city. He was a
graduate of Rockland High School, class
of 1908, and of the University of Maine,
class of 1907, where he was member of
the Beta Theta Pi fraternity. On June
LIST, following he became a member of the
John Bird Co., and had charge of the
company's extensive manufacturing de-
partment until his falling health made it
necessary for him to cease work altogeth-
er. He was for a part of the time in
charge of the Lewiston branch of the
John Bird Co.
Mr.. Bird was always a lover of outdoor
sports, hunting and fishing being his fa-
vorite diversions. He was especially de-
voted to the study of birds and wrote
several articles on bird life, which were
published. AS bird fancier he possessed
as pets some rarely beautiful specimens.
He was a member of Aurora Lodge, x
A. NJ.
The loss of a man of Mr. Birds splen-
did character is a thing to which his
family and friends can never become rec
onciled. In his diversity of interests,
he made large number of friends who
found him ever a companion to be highly
valued, and he occupied place in their
hearts filled now only by cherished me-
mories of him, which will never die. Well
may they say, "To have known Sidney
Bird was to have gotten just little more
out of the fullness of life"
He is survived by his wife, formerly
Ella L. Sartelle; three children. Richard,
aged Is. Mary, aged IL, and Elmer, aged
10 months, and two brothers, Raymond
S. and Adriel U. Bird to whom the deep
est sympathy of the community is ex-
tended A sister, Gertrude, died in her
childhood.

residence of Elmer S. Bird 175 broadway,
