Paint Farm Implements
With Used Oil and Grease

Old greases and oils from automo-

thrown away. Instead, pour them into
a receptacle and put them to entirely
different uses. One is to mix with coal
dust enough oil to make the mass a
little pasty and use the stun az fuel.
Coal dust Is often a waste otherwise
and is more or less OF q nuisance TO
handle dry. but when mixed with the
OIL II nc only hangs together but also
burns well. Still another use Is to
paint the bright surfaces of farm i'm
plements with the old greases to stave

Wide Variation

Past Few DAYS

Monday the mercury went to 81 de-
Grees below zero in this city. Wednes-
day the mercury on the same thermor-
etcr touched So degrees above zero. The
actual time that elapsed between these
changes was about "a hours an aver
age of Il degrees rise an hour. Less
than week ago the mercury was IN
around 40 degrees above zero. One man
remarked as he looked at a thcrmom-
eter on Main street Yesterday that ff
exercise means anything to thermom-
eter there must be a pretty healthy lot
In central Maine at the present time.
The only mention of Florida as a
good place to go that was heard on
tho streets yesterday was by someone,
who was not here during the recent
cold spell Everyone who STAYED in
these parts through that cold spell was
so pleased with yesterday that King
Winters recent reign was forgotten.
1t is agreed that in order to appreciate
fine weather when it comes it is neccs-
sary to have an occasional spell of
bad weather.

rabbit hunters left the city on snow
shoes and up to about 10 o'clock the
walking was fine. but the wind whip
ped around into the southeast and the
sun came out. The result was that
when this party of hunters returned
they were pretty we'll exhausted, for
the snow was sticky and the snow
shoes heavy. AT any rate. they man
aged to bag one rabbit.
The automobile continued to be ex-
cellent' until about the middle of the
afternoon. when the going became so
soft that the chains chewed IN the

make matters worse. rain began to fall
and by evening the streets were COW

Two Pay Fines at
Court on Assault
and Battery Charge

Judge Charles w. Atchl.- sem
fenced Joseph Casparowuch alias
Caspar and Mike Wolchok both of
Winslow to pay fines of $50 and
costs of $937 each yesterday morn
ing when the two respondents came
into court and pleaded guilty to as
sanlt and battery on Joseph Man
tush. The Judge promised the two
offenders If they should come before
him again he would give them four
months straight. The fines imposed
carried alternative jail sentences of
four months but the respondents
were able to pay and were discharg-
ed.
The trouble occurred Wednesday
Afternoon when according to the story
told by Mantush he was assaulted
first by .WolchOk and then by Cas-
parowuc Mantush was a sorry

Judge Atchley's office. his clothes
were torn. his face aud hands COW

vision was a non-partisan one. That
1t ought to be SO is obvious. The bill
to date has been considered on a nom
partisan basis and the Republican
members are strongly of the opinion
that this course should have been
pursued to the end with the entire
bill, including surtax rates.
with this in mind the Republican
members have refrained up to the
present time. from meeting as Re-
publicans for the preparation of a
schedule Of income tax rates on a
party basis. On the other hand the
Democratic members of the COM
mittee have met as Democrats and
as partiSans. have prepared an in
come tax schedule which they have
presented to the country and con-
gress as the Democratic program
and have SO labelled it in their state-
ment which appeared in the con-
gressional record of January z.
IF anything more was needed to
make the attitude of the Democrat
members definite, 1t was settled by
their failure to accept the Republi-
can offer made at committee meet
ing last week to take up the income
tax schedule in the full committee
and consider 1t from partisan
basis with a view to reporting a bill
to the house which should receive
the support of both Democratic and
Republican members.
Our Democratic colleagues hav-
ing refused to consider our offer OF
compromise and having made 1t evil
dent that they propose to support
unchanged the so-caled Garner Plan
the Republican members are on their
part compelled to meet in separate
conference in order to frame @
schedule of rates for the bill to the
full committee"
Mr.. Garner said:
"They have offered no compromise
We asked what they had to offer the
other day and they adjourned with
out offering anything and also they
adjourned today with nothing salc
about the matter. The chairman's
statement is not based upon the pic
tu1e as it is or upon the facts.
"-'he Mellon plan was prepared by
the treasury under Republican ad-
ministration and propaganda for II
was distributed thirty days before
we ever saw it.
"The only suggestion ever MADE or
taxes except by the Democrats was
n so-called radical plan of Mr.
Frear and others. The Democratic
plan is in between the Mellon plar
and the Frear plan and we think oul
plan is the only compromise Offered
to date"

days have never amounted to very
much.
The directors are willing to work
for this fair but to put it over sue
ceSsfully they must have support
This year the support must be local
stronger than anything else and it is
up to local organfza atoms such as the
