result Of using purebred sires my
pigs weighed 21s pounds last fall,
when the average scrub would hard
ly weigh i60 pounds. Consequently
my pigs went to market early, while
prices were high. while the man

longer and feed them high-priced
grain while prices kept going down. :"

Renting Money
But 10 there really anything more

hnds himself In need Of harvesting

to buy one. In that case be can either

or borrow money and buy machine.
The farmer would consider Il right
to pay In some way for the use Of the
machine. Why should he expect 10
borrow money-which is konored In
the markets In payment for the Same
machine-without paying for the use
Of the money?
"Now let US suppose that the farm.
er uses the machine 90 successfully
that be saves q thousand dollars.
With that money he can buy a farm
and he can let Neighbor Brown have
the use Of It. Neighbor Brown natu.
rally would expect to pay rent. In.
stead Of buying the farm, however, he
could lend the thousand dollars to his
neighbor In order that bis neighbcr
might buy the farm. In that case
Neighbor Brown should expect to pay
for the rent Of the money. All this
seems clear. When the actions
are as simple as these It Is plain that
there 10 Just as great propriety In
charging for the use Of money as In
charging for the use Of things that

Loaned Money Builds . School
I'VE may assume. however, that the
farmer does not want to buy land and
Neighbor Brown does not want to
borrow money. In that case the
\ tner deposits his thousand dollara

terest for the use Of his money. But
the bank can pay interest only II Il
makes profitable use Of his money
Now the bank finds that the city
needs . high-school building. and has
decided to borrow enough money to
construct It. In order to obtain the
money the city has issued bonds. each
Of which Is promise to pay one thoa
sand dollars at . specified date, and
inserest In the meantime at a specified
rate. The bank buys one Of these
bonds. Thus the farmer has had .
part In providing the city with !

just as much right to expect interest
for the use Of his money ~ though hs
bad loaned the money directly or In

ARIsTocRAcY OF SERVICE

There is ample room in a country
like this for an aristocracy, the
aristocracy of service. The associa-
ton of descendants of a distinguish
ed citizen of Massachusetts,, Cover
nor Thomas Dudley, have as the
theme at their meeting this year
THE Value to a Democracy of
Traditions and of Honorable Family
Names when Regarded as Matters of
Responsibility and not for prefer
ment or privilege"
1t is an excellent one. Family
associations as we'll as individuals
need an annual reminder, If not
oftener, of their indebtedness to
consecrated effort which has pre-
oeded them. Worship of ancestry
has never grown rankly in American
SOIL and assumption of preferment
CIR privilege on that account fortu-
nately is not popular. On the other
hand pride in the really laudable
achievements of ancestors is a
stimuant to love of country and OF
service to fellowmen.

AS WAS SUSPECTED

All along the suspicion that mid
dlemen were holding out more than
their rightful share of coal profits
has persisted, and now that the full
detailed report of the L. S. Coal
Commission is made public it is in
teresting to find that it's investiga-
ton supported this suspicion.
The commission learns that, while
there are too many wholesalers,
this branch of the trade over a. ten
year period made excessive profits.
and that these profits rise rapidly
during coal shortage. the coal pass
ing through the hands of many mid
dlemen, each taking his pound of
flesh. 1t is found that this habit of
gouging has grown upon the coal
wholesalers; that whereas they ex-
acted profit of 36 cents per ton in
1913. getting that year a return on
capital invested of 10 per cent, in
1920 they exacted a profit of IS cents
per ton, making $50 per cent on
capital invested. This was the ban
ner year, but even so the profit is
altogether out of reason and should
not be permitted if a way may be
found to regulate it.
The retailers have, some of them,
declared they We're being made the
goat, that they We're getting no more
than fair profits and the report of the
commission does not disprove their
contention in the main. Just what
the Government can do about this
is not clear but there ought to be a
way by which the Interstate Com
merce Commission, which regulates
the costs of transportation, could
prevent four wholesaler profits being
taken between the mine and the con-
sumner by denying to use of SUCH
wholesalers in time of emergency the
cars in which to transport their fuel.
We are not particularly sanguine
over the results of Government inter-
ference at its best but here would
seem to be> a necessity of life the
distribution of which might be regu-
lated by the agency which assumes
to regulate the country's transporta-
ton facilities.

WHAT FRANCE WANTS

Lloyd George is now a private cit
izen and as such enjoys a freedom of
speech which he would not were he
at the British helm. When the re-
port of the separatist movement in
AK la Chapelle was shown him Sun
day evening he declared there was no
doubt but Frances money is behind it,
that from the first he had believed
that the French invasion of the Ruhr
was intended primarily to force a
breaking up Of the reichs, and added:
There is no reparation in that"
If the French are fully convinced,
which may be doubted, that the
establishing of a Rhine republic as a
buffer between France and Prussia
would relieve France of the spectre
of war they might prefer it to rep
arations which might prove provoca-
tive of war. This isn't an assured
alternative; perhaps they think they
may get the PREPARATIONS along with
the Rhine republic. There are some
who wouldn't begrudge them both.

Based on historical facts, at the
time when the overthrow of the
Christian faith of Europe was
threatened by the Moslems under the
leadership Of Solyman, 1.-THE Young
Knight" is indeed a story of thrills
and glory which will appeal to the
average boy around ten or twelve
years of age. Michael Faversham, a
little orphan, is left to the caro- of his
uncle. who is Sir Gilbert Faversham
OF the Knights of ST. John, an order
which has grown out of the Crusades
and whose one idea is to defend the
Christian religion and the island of
Rhodes. which is the center of the
faith, against the Turks.
Michael, a loveable lad, full of
healthy mischief, Is taken to Rhodes,
by his uncle, where he becomes a
most earnest follower of the Cross.
His unquestionable faith in Christ
and the Knights of the order is re-
markable and does much to strength
en- the hope and courage of the Order.

Federal authorities should stop the
sale of alcohol but Sheriff Cummings
doesn't hesitate to seize any that he
finds. He seems to think he can keep
this county in pretty clean condi-
ton and judging from results there
is reason for his confidence.
He probably knows as well as do
other folks, that if he enforces the
laws without fear or favor he will
have the great majority of Kennebec
County people backing him. They
want the law enforced and are graf
fled at the record Sheriff Cummings
is making. He is doing his part.
Are the rest of us doing as we'll?

DOING HIS PART

1t is getting to be generally ac-
cepted fact that Sheriff Cummings of
Kennebec County is not disposed to
pass the buck in the matter of en-
forcing the prohibitory law. He may
be aware of ways in which the Fed
eral authorities might help more than
they do; we do not know, but have
heard no complaint from him on this
score. Perhaps he is too busy on his
own Job. Anyhow he is giving the
appearance Of being busy and ac-
complishing. something. Possibly the
