The result is a valuable collection
Of data bearing not only upon the
cement industry and the determine
ton of cement prices. but also upon
the meaning of uniformity and
stability in prices; the relation of
the latter to combination and
competition in price making: the
tests or criteria of fair prices,
normal prices, competitive prices;
and finally. the amount, rate, and
reasonableness of the profits which
eastern cement producers have real
lied in recent years.
The instinct which prompted the
producers to ask two economists to
study cement prices and publish
their findings. is sound one. They
naturally resent current charges of
combination and monopoly. These
charges rest largely on the ground
that the prices paid for cement at
any given place are substantially
uniform and do<not change rapidly.
Comparatively speaking. cement
prices show tendency towards
uniformity and stability" These
conditions. the producers believe, are
not only natural and wholesome, but
are likely to continue into the
future. The producers rebel at the

WHAT ABOUT 1T?

What about these investigations
which the Senators are making
Some suggest that now Mr.
Dausherty has resigned better let
up" That would be fair neither to
him, to the Senate nor to the coun-
try. While investigating that,
which may be demanded for the
good of the country they represent
and which may not properly be got
ten at in any other way. and which
is within the province Of the Sem
ators, 1t is not within their province
to make use of the investigation
SIMPLY to crafty a personal or a
partisan purpose. 1t is not within
the scope of decency to make public
lot OF gossip and rumor, or
genuine evidence. for that matter,
without following 1t to a logical con-
clusion, to the point where both
sides shall have had a fair hearing
and the public be permitted, from
the evidence that stands the test, to
determine what if any the guilt has
Eeen and have the satisfaction of
seeing that guilt properly punished.
The Senate of the United States
can engage in no more important
work than in cutting out the roots
Of official corruption, If such exist,
or in making sure they do not exist.
The very life of the country Is at
stake If corruption of officialdom be-
comes deep-seated. But there is no
occasion to perform surgical oper-
alton because some apprehensive
individual or some one wishing to
create a diversion or bewilder the
public declares a mere .pimple to be
a cancerous growth.
On the other hand we do not
think people will be tolerant of a
purpose already imputed to some of
the radicals and reckless partisans
Of making drive to clean out every
members of the cabinet. This of
course cannot in the nature OF
things be for putting an end to
political corruption. Sensible people
know better than that. The country
is fortunate to command the abili-
ties of such men as Hughes and
Mellon. Business men. men of af-
fairs. will denounce any such a pro-
cedure and any political party or

At a meeting of the Old Orchard

will be one of the feature attractions

September ]. Attractive prizes will
be offered for the aviators making
the best showing during the races
and other stunts on the program,
and it is hoped to bring planes from
all centers in the East Adding to
the gayety of the occasion arrange
ments have been made to have the
days designated as Shrine Day, Elks'

respectively. 1t has been the original
intention to hold the meet earlier in
the season, but 'on account of the
high tides which would interfere,
those in charge were forced to post
pone it until the last of August when
conditions for flying from the beach

to have special events during the
season, as well as week end excur-
sions. for which reduced rates will
be asked over the Maine Central and

Simple Way to Get
Rid of BI0ckhe0ds

There is one simple. safe and sure
way that never failc to get rid of
blackheads. that is to dissolve them
To do this get two ounces Of calonite
powder from any drug store-sprinkle
little on hot. wet cloth-rub over
the blackheads briskly-wash the
parts and you will be surprised how
the blackheads have disappeared. Big
hlackheads. little blackheads, no mat
ter where they are, simply dissolve and
disappear. Blackheads are simply
mixture of dust and dirt and secre-
tions that form in the pores of the
skin. The calo1ite powder and the
water dissolve the blackheads so they
wash right out. leaving the pores free
