riodo de tempo que lie de derecho
al maxino de la compensation, o
sea 625.00, 81 muere sin haber So
licitado el bono, la viuda y los hijos
recibiran dicha suma en- diez plazos
de cuatro meses, pero ST hubiera
heeho su solicitud tempo, la fa-
milia recibira unos 10000 de una

Otro motivo para presentar la So
licitud sin demora es que ell valor de
la POLKA que Sc envfa al Veterano
depende de su edad, y que. a medida
que esta crece el valor de la POLKA
decrece. Dejando pasar ell tempo,
solo Sc .consigue reducir el valor de
la POLKA.
Finalmente, ell pago en- metalico

que el Veterano haya hecho su So
licitud con suficiente tempo para

Los modelos de solicitud pueden

Americana, Cruz Roja, Veteranos de

En- vista de 10 expuesto, Sc espera
que todos los veteranos de Puerto

THE WAY OF EXPERIENCE

Doubtless We will 20 on making
cure-all laws. resting betimes from
the hustle OF doing 1t. and with a
fatuous smile~ on our faces consider
tho result complaccntly-for q short
time. very short time-and then
to make the first disable. Oc-
casionally 1t Will dawn on us that
something other than laws Is needed.
An instance of this is the conclu-
sion that no law can be drafted
which will adequately protect the
foolish buyer of worthless invest
mcnts. True. there must be laws.
but something else is of greater i'm
portancc. This Is arrived at by Con-
nccucut's bank commissioner. He Is
urging for education among invest
ors. He finds tho investor buys first
and investigates later: also in a ma
jority of cases is unwilling to tesu-
fy. Education would help, laws help
-somctimes--but IL the investor,
however educated. however sur
rounded by legal barriers. is OBJ
sesscd by n desire to get rich quick
~ he Will find way to play the
sucker" That is the way, the way
OF experience. many of us seem to
get our real. practical education. II
all chose that way. however. the
world would not progress in en-
lightCnment.

Kennebec, and not much more than
a brook in places. this is a small
problem to be considered. The little
town of Dresden is maintaining
three bridges across this river at the
present time.
We are not worrying about the
railroad people, as they know more
about this location than all the other
citizens of Sagadahoc county, for
they have made two surveys through
this section, and would only have to
build about eight miles Of railroad
instead of the ten or twelve men
toned by Mr.. Carlton.
Mr.. Carlton aiso states that every
candidate for governor has an
nounced himself in favor of n bridge
at Bath. In connection with this we
would say that one of our members
of the chamber of commerce has a
letter on file at his office, from one of
the candidates for governor stating
that he has not pledged himself for
O. bridge, either at Bath or Rich
mond. Another candidate has said
that Richmond was the molly feasible
location for bridge.
Senator Carlton further states that
Kennebec bridge at Richmond
would not help people going to Gar
diner or up the river at all, but the
fact remains that there would be 4
saving of about twenty-five miles by
rail over the proposed kennebec
bridge at Richmond.
We are told by competent enSin-
GERS that bridge at Bath, where
Mr.. Carlton wants it built, is too big
problem for the state of Maine,
that the expense would be prohib-
tive and that the traffic and bust
ness conditions do not warrant it.
We believe that the NJ. c. r. Il.
wants to rid themselves of the eX
pense of the Bath ferries. they real
ize that bridge at Richmond would
cost about one fifth of n bridge at
Bath, therefore the rental of SAID
bridge would only be one fifth, leav-
ing surplus of $4,000 per year,
which would pay the cost of build
ing the railroad from Richmond to
Wiscasset in few years.
Furthermore. instead of the stated
few of Richmond people being in IA
vor of bridge, practically every
citizen does favor it and is working
for it, and at the present time
complete survey is being maGe at
Richmond for the proposed Kenne-
bee bridge and a bill for the same
will be presented at the next session
of the Legislature.

ALLEGED CONDITIONS
ABOUT THE SNOW PLOW''
Augusta, Maine,
AInnoh z 1904

Augusta, Maine,
March Z, 1924.
Editor Kennebec Journal:
Dear Sir:
Can you spare some space in your
paper to print some of the conditions
as they are, on the Thomaston Road
or what is sometimes called the
"Snowplow?"
There are many men, mostly SOL
diers from the National Home, who
under the influence of liquor make
1T very unpleasant for women to
walk on the road.
On the sixth of March a man came
to my house SO drunk that it was
dlfhcult for him to stand up. He
came to the door and when | told
him to go away the names he called
me are not fit to be seen in print.
This man and two others came from
q. house occupied by a captain of a
company in the Soldiers Home. I
called Sheriff Cummings but was
told that he was ill. l then talked
with a deputy sheriff. He said that
he would look after it. But it was
almost two hours before anyone
came out. When they got here all
the DRINKS were off the road The
reason for this is that l telephoned
w viz III IL Jill Tie SdIn0 line Wllsl
some people in the liquor business.
When | was returning to my home
these people were very busy. one
member of the family was carrying
boxes, while another was trying to
drive the DRINKS into the Soldiers
Home.
We hear men speaking before
school assemblies urging boys and
girls to be honest and upright citi-
but children cannot grow into good
citizens if they have to be brought
up in such conditions as Sheriff
Cummings allows to exist around the
"Snowplow.
j wish that the voters Of Kennebec
county could drive over the Thomas
ton road right after the soldiers have
been paid their pensions. They
would see the conditions here before
they cast their vote in the June pri-
maries.
Very truly
MRS. EDWARD PURITY.

DEMOCRATIC PREDICTIONS
SLIP ON BUTTER

Judging from the reports the
Democrats right now are too busy to
talk much about the tariff, but in
view Of what they predicted when
the tariff was put into effect 1t may
he interesting to others to consider
what has happened.
None of the Democratic predictions
have proved true. Here are some
statistics relating to butter and the
tariff: Last year with duty of
eight cents the average pound i'm
port price was SO cents, as compared
with 3S cents, the average pound i'm
port price of butter during nine
months of 1922 when the duty under
the emergency tariff was 6 cents.
During seven months of this emer-
gency tariff rate in 1921 the average
pound import price was 81 cents. In
1920 under the Democratic tariff of
two and n half cents the average
price of butter was a shade under
so cents.
In 1928 this country imported
twenty four million pounds of butter
valued at little over eight and a
half millions. In 1920 we imported
31,454.000 pounds valued at S1S,646,-
900 under the Democratic tariff. This
may explain why the Democrats
think they may get more campaign
grease out of the oil scandals than
they possibly could from butter.
Those who produce butter, however,
may be able to arrive at a conclus-
ion respecting the fallacy of Demo-
cratic predictions.
