Daily rehearsals are going on in
Milo for the big centennial pageant
to be presented there, Sept. l, and 8.
Not only are the women Of Milo busy,
but the men are hustlinS 70 make the
centennial the biggest thing yet seen
in that part of the state. All the
American Legion will be used in the
military scenes, and several hundred
other men in other episodes. One of
the features will be the FoXcroft
meeting where representatives of the
whole surrounding community met in
1872 to decide upon building n gar
rison to protect themselves against
Indian invasions. Another big fea-
turc will he the Olympic Festival in
Greece. 500 B. c.. where the famous
Greek athlete Milo. wins the wreath
of olives and rides off in Il golden
chariot. the victor Of the Olympiad.
Three thousand people daily will re-
view the big spectacle.
Information just available indicates
that Maine has entered 11,45o acres
Of seed potatoes for ccrtificat;on as
against 1,1s6 acres which passed
final inspection last year. New York
has entered 1900 acres this year,
against 1.S0S last year of which
1876 acres passed final inspection.
New Brunswick his entered 2.794
this year against 3.135 entered last
year. of which only 124S passed final
inspection. Prince Edward Island
has entered 2.175 this year and in
1922 had 2113 acres which passed
final inspection. Vermont has entered
53S acres; it passed 5S8 last year
New Hampshire has 25 acres entered;
it had II acres to pass final inSnec-
ton last year. 1t thus appears that
all of the territory except Maine
promises to have smaller certified
acreage this year. yet the gain in
Maine is sufficient to make a total of
12.5cS acres this year against 6,525
which finally passed inspection in
1922. The principal acreage in Maine
CT course, is in the Cobblcr and
Green Mountain varieties The in
crease in Maine certified seed acre
age is largely due to the progressive
methods of the newly organized
Maine Potato Growers Exchange
with headquarters at Caribou, Maine.
a cooperative association embracing
80 locals and several thousand pota-
to growers in the famous Aroostook
county area. Modern methods of pro-
duction and handling of seed as we'll
as table stock were adopted as a
special part of the exchange program
for the coming year.

Their Thirteenth Birthday

THE BOY SCOUT movement has attained the
Il thirteenth anniversary of its founding and if
it simply holds its own, does not grow as it is
certain to do, it will continue to be the greatest
institution for the making of ideal American cit
.izenshiD since the Declaration of Independence
was signed by worthy gentlemen who entertained
real ambitions for citizenship.
The movement is not yet old enough to see any
of its members sitting in the congress, upon the
supreme court bench or in the presidential chair.
But in the years to come the men who do occupy
character developing. about the scout camp fire. At
present the Oldest scouts are just entering col
lege, or starting in business, or otherwise making
records upon which they can stand in the future
and confidently look the whole world in the eye.
The seeds of consideration and thoughtfulness
for others, courtesy, cheerfulness and loyalty
planted by scout training have already borne fruit
the country over. Millions of good turns performed
by the scouts are bright lights in the great paint
ing of everyday life.
The scouts have won the nations confidence and
interest, and the nation looks forward to the full
blossoming of the scout training i'll the maturity
of scout manhood. The nation hopes for prepared
and noble citizenship from these boys who have
pledged themselves to follow the great oath and
law.
Not only America, but the world has = right to
expect much, and has good basis on which to rest
this expectation in the record so far achieved;
hundreds of resCues, first aid in emergencies, fire
fighting, wild life conservation, community good
turns, finding lost people and hundreds of other
kindly turns.
"There will be less of selfishness 81 ga
And more of kindness when, .2i"E
The troops are mustered into life
And all the scouts are men,"

Lincoln

IXT YEARS and more, historians and writer's,
~ great and small, have had Abraham Lincoln
for a subject. No figure in American history has
been so continuously written about. Yet the sub
ject seems inexhaustible. There is always some
new angle, som new fact, some new expression to
tell of this wonderful man.
No man of any time in the worlds history carried
a greater burden than that borne by Lincoln. Five
long weary years of civil war among our own peo-
pie with all that such a strife entails was but one
item. The wonder has always been from wherce
anne his strength to sustain, his preparedness to
perform with wisdom, patience and courage?
Lincoln was Graded in a cabin, reared in a Wild
erness. His youth was a part of the pioneer bat
tie against the elements without adequate cloth
ing or shelter; against disease, without the aid
of medical skill; against ignorance, without the
help of teachers or books; against the tangled for
ests, with only the most primitive tools aiding
sheer physical strength to clear spaces for cult
walton; and, finally when he had grown to manhod
and come to play a part in national affairs, against
wrong almost impregnably entrenched. There is
where he got his physical strength. Out of this ex-
perience in hardship came the perfect philosophy,
all the great attributes to guide a mighty nation
safely through its years of terror.
His spiritual strength came from his sublime
faith in God, taught to him in a frontier log cabin
at the knee of a real mother sent into the world
by this anne God seemingly to bear, inspire, teach
and prepare her son for a noble purpose.
The physical and spiritual strength of Lincoln
are rarely combined in the same person.

Put Ub or Shut Up

THERE is no better way to test the sincerity of
L those internationalists WHO so strongly urge
the cancellation of European war debts, than to
invite them to step up to the United States treas
ury and surrender their Liberty bonds and desig.
nate just which country is to have the credit for
the amount of reduction they desire made. This
is the practical way of reducing the obligations Of
their friends, and it makes of it a simpler prop
osition. For if any of the foreign Indebtedness is
RENTED the American people must pay that
amount in the form of taxes to meet the interest
upon and to redeem Liberty bonds issued for the
very purpose Of providing the money constituting
these foreign loans.
The money obtained from the people of the Unit
ed States is secured by Liberty bonds issued by the
government and backed by all the property and
things of value of all the people.
If it is the wish of any American citizen to
make a personal donation to any of the European
peoples who will be taxed in turn to pay the debts
owing to him and to others of this fellow citizens
that is his own private business. He can do as
he pleases with any wealth he possess. That is he
can give all of his property or all of his Liberty
bonds TO his friends i'll Europe but it is scarcely
the. considerate thing for him to insist that every.
body else be equally foolish. Very few people
arc fond of discharging the same obligation twice.
And that is just what ~forgiving the European war
debts amounts TO finally.
So, if the intcrnatiOnalist Is interested in the
liquidation of European debts the way is pointed
out to him to do his part, but he need not hope
that his example will be largely followed by Amer.
leans 10 whom their own people and their own
country comc first.

Sizing Up Cafes

The far ~stenographer was describ.
ing the system she and others oil
her s.sterhood had worked out for es'
timating from the outside OF rcstaur'
ants the cost OF n meal in relation o
their pocxetbooks.
'If YOU are trying to live on a quo

really do, and II o like to scout
around town and explore different
kinds of eating places. as most of us
sometimes do. It's necessary TO have
some kind of guide. or h first thing

place where they charge you 40 cents
for cheese sandwich and 20 cents
for n cup of coffee. and you either
,tnrye the rest of the day or shatter
your budget to bits getting enough
to eat. But Il you keep your eyes
open, after awhile you begin to get
a line on things and you know wheth'
er you can afford to eat in n place or
not by certain infallible signs h a
you only learn to recognize after long
and bitter experience.
FOR instance, one of the things
we've learned is that in many n tea
shoppe' you pay 20 cents more on
each item to cover the cost of the
last two letters. The same Is T in
the case OF names like 'Ye Blue Goose
or, 'Ye Teakettle.' II passing n res

kins folded in that fancy three

In the Dark Movie

The newest movie theaters are be.

ing in out of the daylight or the glare
of h street lights won't sit down so

Just the other day n woman went
to the afternoon show at one of those
pitch dark movies She walked in out
of the glare of the afternoon sun and
suddenly found herself as blind as a
bat, and her resulting experience was
one hat she will probably not forget
soon.
Before she was stricken blind she
said to an usher. Il know what seat I
want. thank you" and struck out in
the direction of the aisle which she
could see obliquely ahead OF her.
Then the darkness enveloped her and
she stepped on something soft and
crinRtng and there was a kind of
hasty shuffling at one side of her and
somebody said, Hey, for gosh sakns,
come tor
The woman tried to come to but
couldn't. She strained to see what
she had stepped on, but nothing. ap-
parently, was there. So she acted dis

stretched hands as h went.
Presently her cropping hands found
something. They found n face. The
face had wh'skers on It.
A deep and passionate voice spoke
through her fingers, saying, Lady,
do you know me well enough 70 be
doing this?''
She dropped that face like n piece
of cactus and turned around and took
another tack into the darkness. and
suddenly came TO the end of n row
of seats, whack! The arm of the seat
fetched her on tho thigh and barked
/. considerably. and she rolled over
II rather ungracefully and sat down
in the seat pretty hard. on something
that felt like n cat. ond that sighted

At Least Consistent

THE DEMOCRATIC party always runs true to
l. form, wherever it operates. Back in New York
state the new Democratic governor, elected on an
economy platform, proposes to restore a million
dollars of expense which his Republican prede-
cessor had cut out.
Back in 1912 when the Democrats were seeking
control of the national government they denounc'
ed Republican extravaganza, declaring that there
was a needless number of people on the govern
ment payrolls. On that issue, combined with n
promise to reduce the cost of living, they won the
election. From the day of Inauguration, the mum
Der of people on the payroll increased, as also did
the cost Of living.
Within a few months after they came into power,
the Democrats were faced by a depleted treasury
and FASTENED to impose new taxes. That was many
months before the United States made the first
move toward military preparedness, and two years
before VT entered the war. Wilson's excuse was
that the people do not b~egrudge high taxes if they
get something for the money. Governor Al Smith
of New York, puts it in pretty much the same
language: "The people don't want the kind of econ
omy that handicaps state institutions"
Since you cannot cut down expense without cut
ting off some state activities. the Smith, Wilson
doctrine means that there can be no retrenchment.

The Onlu Wdu

ITALY, under the Mussolini government, has set
L an example, which could be followed with profit
to greater or less degree by every other country
of Europe. What the Italians are doing is no
more than what any patriotic people can do in
cooperation with their government. Mussolini is
instituting sweeping reforms to make the Italian
budget balance. Governmental employees are being
dismissed wherever they can be spared, more than
10000 workers on the state railways having been
separated from the payroll. The prevailing eight,
hour day is to be eight effective working hours
Far from taking offense at what their government
is doing, the Italian people are assisting in every
way. Groups of workers are offering to work ex
ira hours for the benefit of the government, and
even war cripples are surrendering their pension
rights in order to swell the %country's resources
These facts furnish food for thought for some
classes of American citizens who are constantly on
the alert for a chance to raid the American treas
ury on some pretext or other.

The way is open and the inducements are held out.

none is PERMITTED. Most.everybody wants the Trib-
une and it is simply placing the proposition before
them to gain success.
In engaging in the Tribune's subscription con-
test and coming in contact with the people you are
not only earning a splendid compensation, but you
are securing a business training and experience
in a brief time that would require years to gain
in many other endeavors in which you might
engage.
One outstanding fact is very patent and that
is that no one works for nothing or takes a chance
on making something out OF his work. Everybody
is well paid. That is he is paid in proportion to
what he does. There are no blanks. If one prr-
son works hard he makes more than the one who
only puts forth a half-hearted effort.
We want the lists full. We want everybody to
get into the contest who is determined to make a
go of it. The more the merrier.

An Ancient Fable.

SENATOR WALSH of Massachusetts, has again
~ trotted out that moth .eaten fable about the
tariff on wool compelling an advance of So to $40
in a suit of clothes or an overcoat. The occasion
of this latest outbreak was the announcement by
the American Wooden company of it's 1923 prices
on staple overcoatings and suitings for fall de.
livery.
Senator Walsh made a great number of sweeping
assertions to the effect that the present protec-
tive tariff would add So to SO in the price of an
overcoat or a suit to the American consumers next
fall. He even made a statement that "the cheapest
overcoat the American man or boy will buy will
cost him So more by reason of this tariff.
On the very day when Senator Walsh made these
assertions, the New York Times, probably the lead
ing Democratic paper of the United States, print,
ed the new price list of the American Wooden
company together with prices which were asked a
year ago for the same goods.
The following is the price list printed:
