Clinton. Nc, Feb. s.-(Special) y
Roger Adams Stinchfeld. winner of
the American Legion essay medal for
Maine, comes of family of strong
patriotic sentiments. His grand
father, the late Thomas +. Stinch-
field, was a Civil war veteran who
saw much services and possessed a
degree of loyalty to his country quite
unusual. The grandmother, the late
Mrs. Mary l.. Stinchfield. was also
deeply patriotic. She was active in
the organization and support of Bill
llnsS Relief Corps and it was more
through her effort than that OF any
other person that the Soldiers Mon
ument was erected in Clinton. She
was active also in the National
Womcn's Relief Corps, department of
Maine. being for several wears de-
partmcnr secretary. In all matters
pertaining to the work in the State.
she was a valued councillor. She was
also woman of considerable literary
ability. a member OF the Maine
Writer'S Research Club.
Captain Silas Adams of Waterville,
the maternal grandparent, is we'll
known over Maine, and beyond as a
writer of note and a speaker much
IN demand on patriotic occasions.
With these family traditions it
seems quite the natural thing that
young Roger should be attracted hv
the offer of the American Legion
prizes. and almost as an inspiration
came the thoughts which went into
tne essay submitted. 1t was written
hastlly one morning and posted in

L0nd0n's Wine Vaults
Cover Acres Of Ground

London, Jan. -(MaiD-London
has been keeping official records of
various of it's activities for so many
generations that today it is posi-
BILE, with little Imagination and en-
terprise, to bring together interesting
statistics comparing the big. modern
city of the present time to the Lon
don of the days of Queen Anne, when
coaches and chairs were the popu-
lar means OF conveyance.
In 1900 the foreign trade which
passed through the port of London
amounted to 100000 pounds ster-
ling; in 1922 it was over 1000. 900. =
900. according to Sir Joseph Brood
bank, who recently delivered an ad-
dress here on the rise of the city as
one of the great ports of the world.
He mentioned an interesting fact
concerning the type Of Dutch eel
boats which have been anchored off
the Customs House since the days of
Queen Elizabeth. These boats had
been granted certain privileges and
were similar to the first ones used,
but in the near future they are to
be replaced by motor vessels.
Among some curious facts Sir
Joseph mentioned that the river
Thames. which carried twenty mil
lion tons OF commerce every year,
could not afford to run steamers to
carry passengers. In former DAYS
wool was the largest export from the
port. Now wool is it's largest i'm
port. about 100000 bales passing
through the warehouses every year.
An idea of the size of the London
wine vaults is conveyed by the fact
that there are "a miles Of gangway
running through them. Millwall. the
largest granary in the port. with a
capacity Of $4,000 tons, only holds
enough grain to make London's
bread for one week.
