Cars of the Ford class, in so many
farm families of moderate means, are
about their cnlv source of pleasure.
They constitute a show OF justice in
very unjust world. Cars of 20
h. p. might be taxed So per h. p.
,ars of 80 h. p. at So and cars Of 40
h. p. at IS. This would just about
suit my notion Of equity.
There would be another gain in this
increase of license tax. The big
trucks are absorbing more and more
business every year. Our railroads
are, beyond question, in desperate
financial straits. BY furnishing i'm
proved highways which the trucks
use, we are driving our steam rail-
roads to the brink of suspension. II
the larger taxes as recommended
could be applied it might possibly
put the brakes on the rapid increase
In auto-truck transportation. The
whole thing can be summarized some
what as follows:
Better very much better roads. Get
the money from the autos-most of
1t from the big ones incidentally,
defend the railroads by making the
large truck pay good for the right
of-way over which 1t does business.

Skowhegan's First Lady
(By r. It. Patten)

In the light literature of present
and past periods, and in moving pic
ture circles the term, 1.-The First
Lady of the Land" is sometimes
heard Even in our own democratic
America, the wife of the President Is
sometimes thus referred to and, In
conversation about state affairs, We
sometimes speak of the Governors
wife as the First Lady of the Com
monwealth. My prejudice against
royalty and all of its forms and terms
is such that / haven't very friendly
feeling for this term First Lady,.
Yet, there are instances when 1t seems
TO be entirely fitting. One of these has
come along to me at the present
time.
Ordinarily, the applying of this til
tie in a community, like SkoWhegan
would be fRaught with dangers such
AZ to dismay a man of holder heart
than mine but | am going to name
Skowhegan's First Lady and I shall
do so with perfect confidence that the
selection will be sincerely approved
and without the slightest luminosity
or Jealousy.
many years by the personality and
activities of a woman of somewhat
humble parentage and French-Cana-
dian descent. AS a girl she had per-
haps even less than the usual some
what limited education and privileges
of those days and, though she is en-
dowed with splendid mentality and
has accumulated much wisdom not to
be found in books. she has had to do
her own work and work for other
people, hampered somewhat by lack
of that knowledge which the rest of
us think is necessary to successful
and useful life. This makes her ca
reer all the more notable and entities
her to all the more praise.
Just why Celeste became so inter-
ested In the welfare of others would
be hard to discover She cannot
herself tell you. She must have
have been lmpelled to these sacrifices
through all these years by heart
and mind unusually sensitive to mis-
fortunes and sorrow. Certain 1t Is
that, to an extent quite unknown to
the majority OF us, she has sympa-
thized with and furnished material

where friendly and sympathetic min
istration has been of untold comfort.
Her work becomes Of additional in
terest wheU it is realized that she has
not given of her time from life of
leisure nor of her substance out of
abundant means. She has had plen-
ty of home duties and these by no
means have been neglected In
early life her own means were very
limited indeed and in later years they
have not been such as to put beyond
the classification of sacrifice what
ever she has set aside for other peo-
pie.
Those who have enjoyed, as I have,
the personal friendship and acquaint-
ance OF this wonderful little woman,
will regard the slight Canadian ac-
cent in her speech as an especial
charm. She has not at her command
a vocabulary such as is made use of
by most people who speak publicly or
by many who interest us in their per-
sonal conversation. Let no one be-
iieve however that Celeste is troubled
about expressing her thoughts point
eddy and forcefully. In her work
she has found many times things

to decide the amount that can be logl-

conflict with regular troops under
Gen. Othonaios. OF the 1,400 mutt
neers, 500 were captured. The ex-
tent of the casualties is not yet
known.
It was announced officially that
the mutineers at Schismatari had
fled northward, deserting their lead
eTs. The same communique con-
firmed the dispersal of group of
mutineers at Katerina and the cap
ture of their officers.
The latest news from Saloniki says
the mutineers under Col. Ziras have
been dispersed and that Ziras has fed.
Gen. Othonaios has wired the gov
ernment from Saloniki that he is able
to place as many troops at the dis
posal of the government as may be
required. This is interpreted here as
meaning the revolutionary movement
in Macedonia has collapsed.
Col. Plastiras, who headed the revo-
luton which resulted in the over
throw of King Constantine, said that
he considered the uprising in Mace
donia ended and that he believed it
would break down in a few days in
Peloponnesus. The Peloponnesus and
Corinth canals will be completely
blockaded.

Referring to the Imperial cnofer-
ence, the South African premier said
the preferences which the British
government had given dominion prod
ucts would prove valuable, but that
they did not amount to what was
called policy of imperial preference.
Although some of the conservative
newspapers and politicians are call
ing on Premier Baldwin to declare
for sweeping policy of preference,
Gen. Smuts broke straight into the
domain of party politics. He said:
1T would be most undesirable to
raise the issue of imperial preference
at such a time as the present-to
throw this great apple of political
discord among the people of this
country at a time when not discord.
