er control law, it was written by Re-
publicans, introduced by Republicans
and passed by Republican nlajorities.
One of the immediate and urgent
needs of the farming communities was
credit to tide them over their imme-
date crisis. In order to furnish this
credit the Republican Congress amend
ed the War Finance Corporation Act
so as to enable that organization to
have a revolving fund of s1,O00OOO,-
600 to be used exclusively in making
loans to livestock and agricultural in
terests Since that body began func-
tioning under its newly acquired pow
ers it has been loaning money to the
AGRICULTURAL and livestock interests of
the United States at rate in excess
of s1,000,000 day.
One of the earliest acts of this Con-
gress was the appropriation of $4,000
900 to be used in the purchase of seed
for the drought-stricken farmers of the
northwest. Since that time legislation
and appropriations have been made to
assist drought-stricken farmers in
other sections of the country and also
to relieve the settlers upon reclama.
tion and irrigation projects.
Still another act of this Congress-
was the increase of the available cap
! ital of the Farm Loan Banks in the
sum of s25,0OO,0OO, giving the Farm
Loan Banks a total revolving fund Of
S56,OO0,000 This bill was written by
Republicans, introduced by Republi-

MISS ANNA L. WILDES.

Miss Anna l.. Wildes, for many years a
resident of Belfast, died April llth at her
home in Los Angeles, Calf, at the age of
81 years and two months. She was born
in Monroe, the youngest of five children
of Nathaniel and Anne Wildes. 10 her
youth she came to Belfast, where she be-
came associated with the firm of Pote &
Quimby and remained in their employ as
long as they continued in business. Sew
eral years ago she gave up ner rooms in
Belfast and went to live with the family
of her niece, Mrs. Peter Cooper in Mon
roe, where she remained until about four
years ago when she accompanied them to
California. Up to the time of her last
illness, which lasted less than three
weeks, her general health was excellent,
though during the past year she became
enfeebled by the weight of years. The
immediate cause of death was a stroke.
During her last days her thoughts turned
often to the friends still living in Maine,
and perhaps oftener yet to the many who
have passed on before. According to her
expressed wish the remains were cre-
mated.

ABOUT BIRDS.

Bird Bulletin No. 1, has just been is
sued from the office of the State Ornith-
ologst, Mr.. Thomas A. James, who has
made life study of birds and is also cur
ator of he Museum in our State House,
place well worth visit Other bulletins
will from time to time follow this initial
number. Mr.. James says:
Many ask the question, "What can |
do to attract birds about my placer AS
an answer to such inquiries would say,
erect nesting boxes, provide bird baths,
plant shrubbery for shade and shelter,
erect feeding station for winter birds
and control the domestic cat"
There are very few homes but that
would be greatly improved and their
value increased by liberal planting of
shrubbery which would furnish a nesting
place for many of our birds, especially
the always welcome chirping sparro :;
and many others such as the blue bird
tree swallow, chickadee, purple marten
and wren, may be all made to feel at
home by finding suitable nesting boxes
erected on poles or in shade trees, or even
on buildings. Another interesting ex-
pertinent is to hang up handful of yarn
or wool for nesting material and the
amusement afforded by watching the
birds help themselves will well repay
you.
Bird baths are necessity. Have you
ever watched the little fellows about
puddle after a shower If so, you can
realize what pleasure it must be for
bird to have its bath ready at all times.
A bird bath need not be expensive, but
should be so placed that it would be in
the shade of tree or building preferably
a tree) and so placed that the birds could
enjoy their bath without danger from the
family cat.
| Concrete is the best material for bird
bath construction and should, if possible,
be at least four feet from the ground
The receptacle should be slopng from
the outer rim to the center, so that the
depth of water at the center will be three
or four inches Owing to the danger of
being broken by winter freezing, the
bath proper should be made removable
from the standard or base, so that it may
be stored away during the winter
months. Keep the bath clean by empty
ing and scrubbing once week. and see
that it is kept full of water at all times /;
Bird houses make an excellent substi-
tute for hollow trees and should invari-
ably be constructed of wood. The re-
quirements of house-nesting birds vary
to such a degree that considerable study
must be given as to the size of house, di-
ameter oil entrance, also the space inside
the house. Briefly, the conditions should
conform as near as possible to the nest
ing conditions of the family when nest
ing in the forests or fields.

Houses and How to Build them" is

Farmers OF the United States not
only comprise the largest single class
of producers but they are the largest
single class of consumers of finished
products of all kinds, and the largest
class of shippers. In view of all
this, it is essential. in order that the
country as a whole be prosperous, that
the farmer as a class be prosperous.
When the Republican Party came
into power in March. 1921, the agricul-
tural sections of the country were in
the midst of the greatest depression
they had ever experienced.
In response to a general demand
from the agricultural interests the Re-
publican Congress, on May 27, 1921, 40
days after the session convened, en-
acted the Emergency, or Farmers
Tariff This stopped at once the influx
of agricultural imports and saved to
the American farm producer his home
markets.
The best proof that the tariff really
protects the American farmer is the
fact that since its operation Canada
has renewed her efforts to negotiate a
reciprocity treaty that will admit her
agricultural products into this country
free. As a further proof of the effect
iveness of this tariff it was renewed
November Is, 1921, by the solid vote
of the congressman representing the
AGRICULTURAL States. The enactment
of this tariff was opposed by the solid
Democratic minority in both House
and Senate, with few notable excep'
tons.
For more than quarter OF CEN
tury there has been a demand from the
producers and consumers for control
of the packing and allied industries.
Responsive to this demand Congress
enacted such a law. II cannot be gain
said that the livestock industry OF the
United States has had better treatment
from the very day that this law began
to operate. This bill was drawn by
Republicans, introduced in both
branches of Congress by Republicans,
and passed by beth branches OF Con-
gress controlled by Republicans.
For more than 40 years there has
been pending before Congress, in one
form or another, legislation to control
grain exchanges and to stop the manlp-
ulation of prices Of farm products
such law has been enacted by this
Rerrblican Congress. Like tie pack

Egg Rock light, which has warned
mariners of the treacherous rocky shores
off Nahant, Mass, for more than half a
century, cast its beams for the last time
Monday night Hereafter it will remain
darkened, according to an announcement
made by Capt George E. Eaton of Bos-
ton, United States department of com
merce and supervision of lig lthouses in
that district. The property of the gov
eminent on the rock will be disposed of
to the highest bidder May 29. Until that
time bids will be received for the light
house, tools, sheds and other property.
There has been agitation relative to the
restoring of bird sanctuary on Egg
Rock. Many of the older residents of
Lynn, Nahant and Swampscott declare
that before Egg Rock light was estab-
ished it was the home for many birds.

a sum estimated at between $3.50,
900 and $4,000 is being distributed

have prepared for the occasion and

SELLING WAR COOS
PROVES BIC BUSINESS

WASHINGTON, Oct 25.-One OF
the largest business enterprises con.
Quoted under one management in the
United States during the past year
has been the governments Job OF
disposing of surplus war material
More than 100000 different articles
have been sold for cash through a
nationwide auction sale system.
Sales have been in progress five
days in every week all the year
and property that cost nearly half
a billion dollars has been disposed
of, the cash proceed turned into The
treasury aggregating approximately
$S2,OOO!OOO
A summary Of the enormous trans
action in which the war department
has been engaged, obtained from the
office Of Assistant Secretary Vain
wrigt who is Uncle Sans head sales
man, shows that on September l,
1921, there was available for sale
about $75O,OOO,OOO in surplus war
stocks, ranging in character and size
from locomotives to pins and needles.
One year later there remained on hand
of that amount property worth $243,-
100000 and officials today expressed
the hope that Uncle Sans shelves
could be cleared in another six
months.
The rate OF return to the govern
ment varied tremendously. On one
small lot of lumber it received 1l5
percent of what it paid In war times,
on a great mass OF gas masks sold
for salvage the return was one-half
OF one percent Of what they cost.

CIVIL AUTHORITY. IS
GIVEN TO THE CHURCH

VLADIVOSTOK, Siberia. Oct q
The object OF the government in or
dering all persons in the Primoria
to register in the church communl
ties to which they belong or leave
the country was to establish a gov
ernment of priests and parish com
munities All civil authority will be
handed over to the church communi.
ty OF each district, which will appoint
its own executive council. Members
OF the church community who do
not attend the meetings of their
church are liable to fines amounting
to 25 roubles gold and to expulsion.
The decision of the executive coun-
Gil of mother church is subject to
the approval of the governor OF the
district.
This project has aroused the de.
rision OF the public and the priest is
hailed as the civil governor" Up
to the present the one means of
self-expression left to the peasant
and the villagers is through their
Zemstvos. These institutions were
semiofficial in the reign Of the
Car and although some of the mem
bers of the Zemstvos were elected
by the vote of the peasants the Or
ganization in itself was an official
one.
After the revolution the Zemstvos
became a purely political machine
consisting largely of social reyolu-
tionists. They were a formidable
enemy during the dictatorship of
Admiral KOlchat. In order to do
away with this evil the present die
tator has evolved this plan OF local
self.government. 1t is the first time
in the history of the district that
the peasant really has had the right
of self-expression.

LABOR TROUBLES
FINALLY ENDED
SATISFACTORILY
Crafts and Top Men Drop De-
mand for Increase of Twen.
ty-five Cents a Day

All threatened labor troubles are
a end in the Tonopah and Divide
districts. At a meeting of the crafts
and top workers held last night at
Eagles hall was decided to aban-
don any effort to secure an increase
OF 25 cents a day in the wage seal !,
a vast majority Of those present vot-
ing to accept the offer OF a 25 cents
a day increase in the scale for top
men which went into effect on OctO-
ber /, under the terms OF a counter
proposition made by the mine oper.
ators following the adjustment of the
scale with the underground workers
on October II. In other words the
topworkers and craftsmen are salts
fled with conditions as they now
exist and have no objection to the
underground workers receiving what
might be -ermed bonus Of rs cents
a day over that of those who work
on top of the ground.
The meeting last night was har,
mOniOus to a marked degree and fol
lowing the report of the committee
that was named to meet with the
mine operators, vote Of thanks was
extended to the members and an
adjournment sine die was ordered.
R. H. Thomas presided and briefly
explained the situation as it existed,
and it was through his efforts hat
harmony was maintained and an
adjustment of the existing contrO-
versies brought to a happy con
clusion.
The Tonopah and Divide districts
are now ready for a season of great
activity which will naturally be fO.-
lowed by an era Of prosperity. The
underground workers have signed
up at the present wage scale for
the period during which silver shall
remain at 81 an ounce, The Oper-
ators have agreed that the wage
scale agreed upon shall prevail dur
ing that period, and it is agreed by
both sides that there shall neither
be a decrease or an increase dur.
ing that period.
The Tonopah and Divide districts
now pay the highest wage scale of
any mining sections in the west, and
as a natural consequence we will
soon be homing the most skilled
labor in the country. Miners from
outside camps with true American
instincts are already making Tono.
pah their destination, and gradually
will the undesirable foreign element
be eliminated. The operators will
naturally benefit as a result in the
change of employment conditions,
which will be followed by greater
efficiency and increased production.
