pHE FORGOT THE COMBINATION

A colored man was driving along
the road in ramshackle buggy drawn
BY a bony spawned old horse, says
Everbody's when a stranger halieu
him:
"Hello. uncle!i Can you get me to
tho station in time for the next
train?"
mo sub; 1 don't believe kin,
sub. This is a broken-down OF
cavalry hawse. You CANT git him
often a walk nohow."
Huh! You say he's an old caval-
ry horse? Let me drive him."
The man clambered upon the seat
and took the reins. Make ready"
he called out sharply. CHARGE
The old horse pricked up his ears
and broke into gallop. AS they
reached the station the man shouted,
Halt" The horse obeyed. The man
flipped old John a quarter.
The next day two young men
stopped John and asked him to take
them to the station as quickly as
possible.
..Suttinly gen'lmen" said John.
"Git right in" He gathered up the
reins and shouted: Make ready!
Charged" The horse broke into a
gallop and soon reached the station.
"Git ready to jump, gen'Pmen,"
John, looking frightened, shouted to
his fares. 1--WE done forgot de
word what stops him."

BONUS OF 500
DUE EVERY EX-SERVICE MAN

WASHINGTON annual re-
port of the War department shows
that the United States government
has already paid a bonus of $780,
127,460 to ex-servcie men of the
World war. This is in conformity
with an amendment to the revenue
act approved February "a, 1919,
which directed the payment of $50
TO every person who served in the
military forces of the United States
during the World war and who was
honorably discharged. This payment
was to be in addition to all other
amounts due any ex-service men.
This payment of $50 was included in
the final pay voucher given every
ex-service man at the time of his
honorable disbharEb. Subsequent
to the passage of the act, all soldiers
discharged between April 6, 1917.

GERMAN SHOES IN ENGLAND

1t is not a figure of speech to say
that the free trade shoe in pinching
Great Britain. Commercial reports
from London declare that the boot
and shoe industry of the United
Kingdom is in distress en- account of
the heavy importation of German
shoes. 1t is stated that 1919, 500
pairs of shoes were imported into
the United Kingdom during the first
eight months of the present year.
British manufacturers are asking the
government to invoke in their be-
half the safeguarding of industries

for protective tariff. They ask an

TWO PROFITABLE CROPS

II the Gentle farmers of the Unit
ed states would buckle down to sugar
beet production as the Mormon farm
ers do in Utah and parts of Idaho,
there would be no occasion for COM
plants of hard times from settlers on
government reclamation projects.
Sugar is one of the agricultural pro-
ducts that are consumed by the ma
ton In quantities exceeding home
production. Every year we bring In
millions of tons from Hawaii and
other distant countries.
Moreover, while the consumption
of wheat is declining, that of sugar
is increasing Twenty years ago the
per capita consumption was about 70
pounds in the United States, in 1922
according to the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, 1t was 103
pounds.
Flaxseed, used for the manufac-
ture of linseed oil, is another pro-
duct imported in larg, quantity.
With an estimated flaxseed crop o.
1I.7O0.0OO bushels III 1922, the
United States produced less than one
third of its domestic requirements.
The production this year, as estimat-
ed by the United States Department
of Agriculture, will be greater, ap-
proxmately 100000 bushels, but
even SO will be less than half of the
country's requirements.
Ninety-eight per cent Of the Amer
lean production last year was in the
region whose farmers are loudest in
complaint of distress from unprofit-
able growing OF wheat the north
ern great plains area OF Minnesota,
North Dakota, South Dakota and
Montana, and the Department OIL
Agriculture estimates that these four
states will produce 80 per cent Of the
American production this year.
The panhandle of northern Idaho
once was large grower Of flaxseed
but in recent years has given up that
crop and turned more extensively to

Letter from Former Resident

F. E. Brann Of Wilton, formerly
of Skowhegan in recent communica-
ton to the Independent-Rep tells
much of interest about his life since
leaving our community. He says that
having lived in good old Skowhegan
for eighteen years and passed his
young manhood here he naturally has
big interest in her people and her
progress. Mr.. Brann went to school
with many Of the leading citizens of
the town Of today and became occu-
pied with the mill business in the
Coburn Wooden Mills in 1890. He
worked with this concern for six
years, fitting himself for most. all
classes of work in the fancy wooden
line. He left Skowhegan in 1895 go
ing to Bridgeton where he worked for
the Forrest Mills Wooden Company
for four years as sample weaver and
then went to work for the Pondicher-
ry Wooden Co. of the same place where
he remained for four years as weaver
and on sample work and then for
five years as second hand of the weave
room. He left there In 1913 to take
a position as overseer of weaving with
the Wilton Wooden Co. of which Geo.
Goodspeed is owner and president.
He left this last position in June, hav-
1rg completed ten years with this
company. Mr.. Brann was married in
