the Threats of the people Of Wisconsin such
unfair legislation should be met with rebuff
What we want to plead for now is memories
long enough to retain the story of what Keno
sha has lost. The governor and his adn1inistra-
ton will do nothing to make up these losses.
1t will offer nothing as compensation for Ke-
noshas loss in prestige and population and the
loss of thousands yes, millions - Of dollars
which would be brought to Kenosha with ex-
banded industries.
Bitterness that has been engendered by
legislative sessions will be forgotten and time
undoubtedly will heal political wounds but the
people of Kenosha should not find it convenient
to forget. Kenosha paid too much to forget
too easily.

The Mechanic
BY BERTON BRALEY

A PRIMROSE by the rivers rim <
"A A yellow primrose was to him,
And it was nothing more;
So people CT the cultured kind
Regarded him as crude Of mind,
With no artistic lore.
WET he could take car apart,
4 Repair it with his cunning art,
And, when the job was done,
The motor, like living thing,
For very joy would purr and sing,
So smoothly did it run.
no make a hating engine function
4 With true efficiency and JUNCTION,
Was art enough for him.
1t thrilled him as a primrose might,
Which came upon a poets sight
Along the rivers rim.
1T takes artistic eyes to see
L The beauty of a flower or tree;
There's also art in knowing
The beauty of machines and such,
OF gear and valve and brush and clutch,
And how to keep 'em goingI

Evidently Governor Blaine thinks that there
are more ways of checking dog than feeding
it on butter. His suggestion that he appoint
as Prohibition Enforcement Officer of the state
the leader of the '.wets" on the floor of the
legislature is just another indication of his
desire to pay the liquor interests for their sup
port in the last campaign. Such an appoint
ment would be an insult to the intelligent peo-
pie of Wisconsin.

"Such planes easily will cost S1,O00,-
600 EACH" he says.
They must have engines of at least
5000 horsepower and must be capable
OF ascending to an altitude of 10000
feet, where with the rarifed atmos-
phere offering less head resistance,
sustained speeds of from 500 to 700
miles an hour are possible.
Passengers, if they are to survive,
must be given sea level proportions
OF oxygen and sea level air pressure
in the cabins.
"At 10000 feet-about seven miles
up-the temperature is about so to 60
degrees below zero. Provisions must
be made to keep the passengers from
freezing to death. And all of this will
cost money.
Aviation science will surmount
these difficulties as it has many 9TH

PRICES.

Iron and steel prices show a weak
ening tendency-not enough to need
monkey glands, but sufficiently to
worry sales managers in other indus
tries who watch the steel game as a
weathervane of general business.
When another period of depression
comes, prices will hit the toboggan
again. How far will they drop? Some
experts say prices never will go back
to what they were in the old days.
We hope not, judging by this letter
written in 1879 to John Adams by his
wife:
Corn is sold at 81, hard money, per
bushels. Linens are sold at $40 per
yard, the most ordinary calicos are $50
and $40; broadclothes at 5000 per yard;
molasses at $40 per gallon; sugar at
81 per pound; tea at $40"

Commander Ford Speaks to Rotnrians

The Skowhegan Rotary Club was
fortunate at its regular weekly lunch
con Tuesday to have as principal
speaker, Department Commander Per
ley H. Ford of Sanford. In the aD-
sence of the president, c. p Merrill
who is in Buffalo, A. K. Butler presid-
ed. Col. Roy L. Marston introduced
Commander Ford and in so DOING
stated that he felt that the American
Legion had not received the recognl-
tion which was its due in Skowhegan.
He told something of what the Le-
gioh was accomplishing elsewhere and
referred to Mr.. Ford as coming from
the one town in the state larger than
Skowhegan. Mr.. Ford said that he
did come from a town larger but not
better than Skowhegan. His talk
was based chiefly on the relation of
the Legion to the community, and he
brought special message of service
for that organization In the town and
state, with service to humanity as the
idea. He referred to the effort to
teach Anericanization to the boys and
girls as fundamentals of our govern
ment and the ideals of our forefath-
ers. He spoke particularly of the
revision plans of history for clear
er understanding of historical events,
talked of the immigration policy and
the adoption on the part of the Le-
gion Of a resolve for no more Hitter
acy after 1927. He told the club
that it was necessary for the Legion
to build its foundation in its own town
and that Simon Peters Post must be-
come a live factor in the community.
The local post, Mr.. Ford said, was a
factor for good and he thought he
could guarantee that its members
would do what they could If called
upon by the Rotary Club He spoke
briefly upon the proper use of the
American flag, the emblem of every
thing that is good in government and
urged the Rotarians to join with the
Legion In service.
The next meeting of the Rotary Club
will be held Tuesday noon.

MI US|C FESTIVAL WAS
MOST SUCCESSFUL
Pupils of Skowhegan High School
Score Success In Delightful
Entertainment

The Music Festival last Friday
night in the Opera House by the stu
dents of Skowhegan High School was
most successful and was listened to
by an audience of four hundred peo-
pie. The students occupied seats on
the stage which had been built bleach
er style under the direction of Gle
ment Downes, instructor and the boys
of the manual training department
The students filled the stage and the
orchestra overflowed from the pit
into the front part of the main audi
torium. The song numbers were
very we'll given and the music of both
the high school and junior orchestras
was exceptionally fine, bespeaking
careful training on the part Of Har-
rison A. Smith, director of music and
careful attention on the part of the
pupils. 1t was certainly n splendid
demonstration of music as it Is taught
In our schools today and gave the
citizens better opportunity to under
stand our music department. Mr.
Smith who directed the orchestra ex-
pressed his appreciation of the as
sistance given and announced the pre-
sentation of twenty letters to the or
chestra players for their faithful work
in music for thirty-six weeks. These
letters were presented by Florin Ellis,
president of the musical association.
