was quickly shifted and aided by a
bucket brigade the barn was finally
saved after hard, stubborn fight
Great difficulty was encountered in
fighting the blaze as the line of hose
had to be carried inside the barn
which was filled with thick, heavy,
hay smoke. In fact two of the fight
ers, Percy Johnson of the Stanley
road and Harry Cushman of East
Winthrop, were carried from the
barn nearly overcome by the smoke.
DrS. KnoWlton of Winthrop and Har-
riS, Sanborn, and O'Connor of Au
gusta and Undertaken Henry w.
Plummer of Augusta worked over
them using the prone method of re-
SuScitation and soon revived them.
Two pulmoters were brought but it
was not necessary to use them. Hen
ry Gordon and Leon Hewett also suf-
fered severely from the effects of the
dense smoke.
The Willis Mace property was val
ued at $4,000 with partial insurance.
The Leslie Tucker property was val
ued at $4,000 with small insurance.
Mrs. Lizzie Mace property was valued
at about $500 with no insurance.
Mrs. Frank Plummer property was
valued at about $500 with no known
insurance. Merrill farm, loss $500
with no known insurance. Total loss
and damage is estimated at approx
maetly $4,000.
With the exception of Ford sedan
very little was saved from the Willis
Mace property, but from the Tucker
property practically all the furnish
ings were rescued also a Buick tour
ing car. Mrs. Frank Plummer'S home,
which was the old Horace Parlin
place, contained many valuable pieces
of old-fa shioned furniture and anti
CUES. The fire swept SO fast that
none of these were saved.
One unusual and fortunate circum-
stance was that the Plummer, Mer-
rill, Tucker and Mrs. Lizzie Mace
homes were not occupied, the owners
being away for the winter.
Much credit is due Chief Small and
the Augusta Fire Department for the
quick run they made to the fire and
the excellent work they did in saving
the Merrill house and Hewett barn.
But for their timely arrival these
places certainly would have gone and
probably Mr.. Hewett's entire set of
buildings.

the chart.
That the United States is not
hopelcssly enthralled by the lure of
stimulants is shown by survey of
the less vicious drug and stirnulant
field. Use of alcohol as expressed
in whiskey, beer and wine drinking
has decreased. Use of caffein, a
drug having definite pharmacologi-
cal properties, as expressed in cof-
fee drinking, has decreased in the
last three years for which govern
ment figures are available. The
drug caffein constitutes is per

this as basis of computation, cof-

ton from 21,255,952 pounds in 1920
to 18,626,8l6 pounds at the end of

struction. was not as great as the
comparative figures might suggest,
owing to the increase in building
costs during the last half decade.
1t is probably safe to say. how
ever, that in home building tho
prospects now are that this will be
the greatest year in the countrys
history.
From careful and authoritative
surveys the indications sare that
the amount Of dwellings to be
erected in this country this year
not including apartments and
apartment hotels, will be approx
mately 100000 on the SUPPOSE
ton that general building activities
will continue through the year in
keeping with present activities.
From an economic standpoint
the country needs more homes, but
the deeper advantages OF wide
spread home building lie in the
encouragement thus given TO thrift.
Money prudently saved Is always
a benefit to the person who makes
the saving, but money saved
through the processes OF home
ownership is doubly valuable.
A home OF this type shelters a
thrifty family. the youthful mem
bers of which will so forth into the
world with the value of thrift deep
ly and indelibly implanted within
them.
Home ownership gives an an
chorage for the family-a feeling
of security and stability that can
be gained in no other way.
The man who owns his roof-the
place that shelters his family and
himself-his refuge in times OF az
Fiction, and the haven of his hap
piest associa.ions-will never be
carried away by impractical theo-
ries of government.
This is the period OF year when
the encouragement Of home own
ership proves productive of the
greatest good.
1t is earnestly to be hoped that
the present prospects for the coIn-
try's greatest home building year
will be borne out.
No other single development
would be OF more salutcTy signifi-
canoe to the country.

~LOSE cooperation Of social
and official forces marks the
latest offensive in the CAM
paign against the narcotic drug evil.
Years of unceasing warfare have
not sufficed to even check it in the
United States. Leaders in the move
ment are now united in an effort to
bring about limitation of poppy
growing and opium production.
These things may be done only by
other nations, particularly Great
Britain, Persia and Turkey. So,
one angle of the new attack is to
arouse public interest here to the
knowledge that only in this limita-
ton can real progress be made;
without this limitation the drug evil
cannot be abolished.
According to figures gathered for
the Secretary of the Treasury by a
special committee appointed to study
the narcotic drug problem, the
1000, 900 drug addicts in this coun-
try consume more opium, heroin,
morphine and cocain than all the
, nations of Europe combined.
Recorded importations of opium
for legitimate medical and scientific
use were a little more than 100000
pounds year shortly after the Civil
War. They have now increased to
more than seven-fold. Ninety per
cent of these importations are said
to reach addicts indirectly. The
chart does not cover the operation
of smugglers. It is authoritatively
stated that the opium struggled into
American seaports and across the
Mexican and Canadian borders have

pal necessity. The cost Of food,

Elected in a lowered general living
cost. Food prices dropped in 1929.
The general cost of living also de-
clined.
Rents. however rose during 1922
and 1928. This halted the decline of
general living costs with the result
that in 1928 the level moved upward.
The rent level, unlike that of food
prices, fiuctuates but slowly. Build
ings, put up at the present high
construction costs, must charge
high rents until they pay for them
selves. After that rents may come
down. And meanwhile, the present
level of all living costs is likely to
remain.

Winthrop Highway in Good Con
dition

People who have tried the Winthrop
road recently, perhaps with misgiv-
ings, were surprised to find that au-
toins is very good practically all the
way. Tho passage OF the Winthrop
pillow sometime ago removed the drifts
to such an extent that no trouble is
now encountered as long as the car
stays in the road. The sunlight has
worn down into the road until in many
places the macadam surface has ap-
peared About the only trouble found
is in passing other cars, and this is
generally accomplished with ease, all
though there are few places where
it is prccarious. Many cars made the
trip to the power station Friday to go
to the fire. and little trouble was en-
countered in making the trip.
