Not a day passes without some !

Not a day passes without some re-
minder Of the dependence, one on an
other, existing in any community that
is fit to live in under modern condi-
tons. We are dependent in the mat
ter of health on those who bring us
tation In our schools, who sell us our
foods. who make laws against adult
CITATIONS and in many other ways. In
matters of business we are in a
measure dependent. If we would be
well served by our stores we should
give them our trade so they may
carry adequate stocks, so they may
have money to spend for that, in the
sale or distribution of which we may
be interested. The dealer, on, the
other hand, should take pride in MAX
ing 1t unnecessary for his neighbor to
go out of town to buy, either in the
interests of what he wants or because
a the prices which he has to pay.
1t is true, as some of the efficiency
experts tell us, that the local paper
can help and be helped in this effort,
that the bearings of the mutual de-
tendencies in community shall run
smoothly.
Efficiency experts are not always
what they assume to be, but they
surely have some reason for being.
A ut, e.
Il tells us that "a town where people
know the moral Improvement of
dressing up Is better town than one
which doesn't know" that y town
which buys at home is more pros
porous than one in which the citizens
have the mail order habit; that a
town in which people are addicted to
hagSling is a slow town, and so forth.
We would not dispute this. though of
course it isn't all of the truth.
Now a good habit to form is that
mendaton is due. 1t is not said in
the way of Boosting. but this seems
an appropriate place In which to re-
mark of the Kenncbec valley dealers
in merchandise, who have come under
our observation, that they command
the confidence of their patrons. We
realize this is saying II good deal
about them, also it is complimentary
to Kennebec valley people 70 say they
ar not addicted to haggling. but it is
true. isn't it? Sellers who are trust
trusted by sellers-and pay.

new GERMAN DISCOVERY
PROM 3ES RELIEF FROM
RHEUMATISM PAINS

From I.eipsg Germany, comes a report
of the discovery of newer method for
the relief of pain in cases of rheumatism,
govt, neuritis and neuralgia without the
use of internal medicines. The discov-
erer Jacob Butler. of Stuttgart. Germany.
has undoubtedly proved that in even the
most advanced and stubborn cases the
sufferers often secure relief the very first
DAY
Buhlerv proceeded on the theory that
rheumatism is often caused by internal
assesses tsuch rs a blind pus pocket in q
tooth), giving off poisonS which are alb
sorbed by the blood and carried to the
joints and muscles where they set up in
fammation and intense pain. When the
Inflammation appears in the muscles or
joints. it takes the form of rheumatism,
but where the delicate nerve sheath be-
comes inflamed it causes neurtis neu-
ralgia. To neutraliZe these poisons, Buh-
Ter compounded new form of oil intend
ed to penetrate to the affected joints and
muscles and neutralize the poisons in
much the same way that bicarbonate Of
soda magnesia neutralizes an acid
stomach. AS a result the aching joints
are soothed, the annoying pains and in
flammaton, stiffness and swelling are re-
lieved in many instances with even~ the
first few applications.
Note: The oil referred to above is
known in this country as Buhler Oil. AT
the present time, the following druggists
report that they have secured a limited
quantity of Butler Oil for distribution in
this city. So remarkable have been the
results from the use of BUTLER Oil that
these druggists are giving their CUSTOMERS
written guarantee to refund, the price
in full to all purchasers of Butler OIL
who fail to get immediate relief. On

UNWELcoME SUPPORTERS

1t especially is true that a public
official should beware of his pro-
fessed friends. Some employers of
labor, DESTROYS of having the Mellon
tax bill pass and believing the bon
us bill should not have a passage
have taken steps which look very
much like attempts to coerce their
employees into favOring this.
AS a matter of fact such coercion
lists are really no friends to either
measure. They are doing much more
to contribute to their defeat than
are many of the avowed opponents.
The matter being called to the at
tention of President Coolidge, his
secretary writes the editor of the
Legion Weekly: 1.-THE President de-
sireS me to say that while he is OPP
posed to the granting of the soldier
bonus. he is completely in sympathy
with the protest which the American
Legion Weekly voices against this
kind of propaganda to defeat the
bonus measure. He feels
strongly that such support for his
policies is certain to be injurious,
rather than helpful. His own atti-
tude about the bonus is we'll known.
He has said with all earneStncss that
he does not believe it represents the
real interests of the eX-SerVice men
themselves.
"But he believes also that efforts to
organize an apparent sentiment
against the measure, such as are rep
resented by the circular quoted, are
utterly un-American. subverSive of
the very fundamentals of democracy
and calculated to arouse hostilities
between employers and employees.
Convinced as he is that the bonus
ought not he granted. he feels keenly
that his position in this regard will
be infinitely more difficult to support
if such methods are to be adopted.
This question of the bonus is a
public question. Every American
citizen is entitled to entertain and
express his own opinion regarding it..
No interest or authority has the
right to mislead congress, by per-
version of the expression of honest
Judgment.
There is no higher duty under
such Il government as ours than to
keep pure and undefiled tho sources
and channels of public sentiments.
Tho President has claimed for him
self, because he believed if his duty,
the right to disagree with many
members of your organization and
many other citizens, regarding the
bonus. But he insists that every
other citizen shall have the same
right of absolutely independent
JUDGMENT that he demands for him.

Editorial Comment
Registered Against 1t

Every time the American people
have spoken on the subject of sub
versive radicalism they have regis
tered against it. Every time ma
tional elements have been put to a
decision. the verdict has been ad-
verse. Notable instances of this are
in the record of American labor
which shows repeated reflections of
radiCalisms bids.
There is no place for destructive
radicalism in Americas scheme of
things, and Americans know it.
