MONMOUTH
Monmouth Grange Entertains

Leeds Grange was the guest of
Monmouth Grange at an all-day
meeting Wednesday. There were
also visitors from Winthrop, Wales
and Waldoboro. About one hundred
and fifty partook of a tempting
dinner.
At II O'clock a. m, the address
by Mr.. Dudley Altman, Augusta
the new editor of the Maine Farmer,
on Fundamentals in Agriculture"
was enjoyed by all who in any way
are interested in farm life. Among
some of the leading topics discussed
We note the following points. The
fundamentals of the Grange and
farm are those of service. That
service must be reciprocal to be
effective. You are engaged in the
most fundamental industry known
to man. 1t is we'll to remember that
the race cannot exist without what
the farm produces. Adequate finan-
cial returns are necessary for eny
industry to live. The telephone,
Z. L. D., and jitHey have wrought
a miracle for farm homes. The
radio is in it's infancy but it IS to
mean much to every live farmer in
days to come. America is n nation
of surplus production but foreign
countries are weak in purchasing
power and until this is relieved, de-
mand will be light. Cooperation in
marketing will insure adequate fl
nancial returns but to be success
full it must be voluntary. Remember
quality products. 1t would be well
to cease talking about more, and
substitute better. knowledge is the
only power which can save, and here
the speaker drew many lessons ffom
the work of scientists which have
blessed the world. Many favorable
comments were heard during the
noon recess regarding the address.
The afternoon program was pre-
sented by the visiting Grange.

hood families There was 10 lack of eongrega-
tional singing in church, for everybody from the
parents OF the younger children knew the hymn
times and words and could sing and did sing.
The children of these homes were to an unusual
degree, well-behaved, ohedient to parents and teach
ers and respectful to elders and those in authority
over them. These things were taught in the home,
at day school and at sabbath school, and a pride in
such things grew up with the child which never
was lost in after life.
There were hundreds of other touches Of this old
home life that could be worked into the picture
that would add greatly TO its strength and beauty:
but these few high lights will afford a glimpse Of
the environment that many a man and woman oc-
cHpied from birth TO the time of setting up for
themselves a similar Institution with a neighbor's
son or daughter, and thzt would be a nine days
wonder 10 the younger members of both families.
1t has often been asked by children in this day
how it occurred that the children. who came caI
of homes, such as described, were so much superior
in all that constituted true ladies and gentlemen
as compared with the children out Of modern
homes. And that brings matters to the only pain
full recollections of the old American home. 1t is OF
the woodshed and the holdback strap that hung
in the woodshed- This was the place and that the
instrument that enforced obedience. corrected sins
of omission and commission and inspired respect
full attention TO words Of wisdom and observance TO
the direction in which The straight and narrow
path lay. As n corrective institution the woodshed
stands today without a peer, and the sturdy en-.
forcer, the holdback strap, has no equal. These
things working together have made America
great. brought honor and glory 70 the flag, reduced
error TO the minimum and made a race of people
undaunted by wildcats.

PACK in Massachusetts they have been celebrat.
II ing Samuel Adams. the one hundredth anniver-
sary Of his birth. and in order TO impress the pres.
ent generation have delved into the archives and
the history books and shown us that Sr. Adams
was-a man among the men Of his time.
He was the man who drafted the policy Of the
New England colonies with reference to resisting
the Stamp Act and sounded the keynote in the fol
lowing words: "If taxes are laid upon us in any
shape without our having a legal representation
where they are laid, are We not reduced from the
character Of free subjects to the miserable state
of tributary slaves" Holding sentiments Of this
character the Boston Tea Party was inevitable
While Samuel Adams did not lead that "Indian
Uprising he aided, abetted and approved.
Aside from serving as lieutenant governor, COVER
nor, and previously in minor positions in the Mass
government, he was a member of the con.
tinental congress and one of the signert, of the Dec.
l~aration of independence. He was ths leader Of
congress. and the recognized leader of the Repub.
lican party.
His greatest service to his country was immedi.
ately preceding and during the Revolution. In devo-
ton to country and in accomplishment of its COOL
he was second only TO Washington and history nc.
cords him such a place.
Not a great orator, but an effective speaker. a
judge of and leader of men. Modest, unassuming
governmental matters, he accomplished his ends by
putting others forward and effacing himself. A
Warwick. The real power behind the, throne.
There was one point about Samuel Adams con.
corning which there never has been controversy.
He was absolutely unafraid. Statesmen of this day
may study his life and characteristics with profit
TO themselves. Backbone was q necessary quality
in his day and Samuel Adams possessed it.
He was not always right, but he was always go
ing in the right direction. He was never indefinite
He loved his country and What he believed his
country should have, he went after it and com.
PEELED his country to do the same thing. Society,
public opinion. kings. bosses, armies, ~navies-noth
ing-put fear into his heart. He acknowledged
but one ruler-his conscience-tha he never quar-
relied or argued with.
He was a real man, a real public servant, A real
nation builder Would that we had today a congress
chuck full of Samuel Adamscs.

Pinchot Tells E

PlNCHOT, Republican candidate for
" governor of Pennsylvania is hunting trouble.
and it is altogether likely that he will find 1t be-
fore he gets through with he campaign or through
with his job as governor, If he is elected. In one
of his speeches TO constituents he declared:
81 am determined not only to drive the saloon
out of Pennsylvania, but to prevent the bootleggers
from using the highways of the state for the trans.
p%ortation of contraband liquor.
Il have been informed that much Illicit LIQUOR
is being transported over our highways. When
L am governor, If the state police are not able to
prevent such violation Of the Law, I will know the
reason why.
"Some people may not like my views on the sa.
loon and the bootleggers. but / am determined to
do just what / say in relation TO both of them. And
L want il understood that when I discuss the
liquor question / am Just as dry in a wct town
as ! am in a dry town"
That's what you call telling the world" where
you stand, and Gift was ever strong on that line.
whether it was in the platform upon which he was
standing or not,
There is no liquor issue in Pennsylvania this
campaign. 1t is an issue believed settled. by most
folks. And if bootleggers and hooch merchants are
disturbing the usual quiet of Pennsylvania, other
places are enjoying the anne general a~ff1iction and
regard it as the final spasm before settling down
to n perpetual drought.
"A 1e" pootiesgers riding over the highways in
touring cars should not be disquieting. The fash.
ion will go out of style very shortly, the cars will
be worn out and the supply exhausted.
What Pinchot ought to do first is to be elected
governor. then tell them what he is going to them,
and do it. 1t would seem to be bad policy to warn
them in advance. He is likely to lose the support
of the bootleggers union, which according to Pin
chots own statement must have a considerable
number of votes.
