AMERICAN LEGION NOTES

A few Legionaires, who as members
of the Elks, participated in the re-
ception given at Grand Junction to J.
G. Mcfarland, Grand Exalted Ruler
of the Elks, on the 9th OF May, were
pleased to hear Mr.. Mcfarland make
favorable mention OF the American
Legion many times during his speech
in connection with Americanization.
Immigration, and other National prob
lens, for which the Legion is still
fighting
Decoration Day only two weeks off.
1t is the desire of the membership OF
the Legion TO have some kind OF a
program on that day in keeping with
the spirit and practice, observed
throughout the land by the organiza-
tion. At the last meeting Of the Post
committee was appointed TO make
the proper arrangements with other
organizations. All ex-service men are
urged to be on hand for that day. and
assist in carrying out the program
At the last meeting of the Post
there was some discussion concerning
the Fourth OF July celebration. Delta
had no Fourth of July celebration for
several years, and no celebration OF
any kind this year. Other communi.
ties Of the size and Importance OF
Delta have several celebrations every
years. Several parties suggested that
the Legion put on q celebration IN tho
Fourth OF July The Legion Boys feel
that a celebration should be put on by
all the organizations. A great deal OF
work is required for a celebration OF
this size and kind, and the Legion Will
cooperate with the other Civic or.
ganizations in putting celebration
over in big way.

Some one with his eyes TO the
ground, possibly shoe sinner, has OBJ
served that thousands of Americans
are walking with the left foot turned
outward, the right foot straight ahead
or slightly toed in. The explanation
Is the automobile. Car-driying causes
shifting of the muscles of the right
foot until the position taken by the
foot becomes the fixed one, says the
Toledo Blade. Well. we suppose some
one will worry about 1t and point to
the fact-If 1t is a fact-as another In
stance of the demorallzing effect Of
the automobile upon once great and

already been blamed for increasing
the population of the obese, loosenlng

argued that their political indepen-
dence ought to have been recognized
only on condition that they should
have maintained the economic me-
chanism that united them in times
of Austria Hungary, but the new
states, he said, would rather live
less comfortably and absolutely

Are we to conclude" asked the
lecturer. that the Dawes plan
which keeps clear of politics, is a
justification of the economic theory
of reconstruction ?" He replied by
saying that the Dawes plan is diff
ferent not only in spirit but in me-
thod from the previous plans of I'M
compromising economists and that it
definitely states that political con-
sideration necessarily set certain
limits within which a solution must
be found
1T is the fashion in Europe in
certain circles in some countries, -
M. ALBERT concluded, ito speak i'll of
Democracy, but it does not appear
that they have substituted a regime
of such kind as to tempt peoples
accustomed to liberty. Four and
one half years after the armistice
the allied and associated powers are
taking up-and this time, let us hope
with Germany-the common idea
which united them in 1913. that
there would be no peace in Europe
until Democracy had triumphed."

BELFAST
Plans Underway
For Country Club

At a meeting of the committee ap-
pointed recently to confer with
members of the Northport Country
Club relative to opening the club
house another season, the reports
were very encouraging. 1t was the
opinion of those present that the
clubhouse should remain open for a
longer period each year than has
been the custom, giving the resident
members of Belfast the benefit of it
through June, September and
October, as we'll as July and August.
The most beautiful weather for
golfing and dancing, of the season
is that of the fall and while the
summer visitors leave, many of
them early in September, there is no
reason why the clubhouse should be
closed, when there is a large per-
centage of Belfast members to en-
JOY it.
1t is therefore planned, to keep the
house open from June to late
October. as long as it is possible to
have the water, which depends on
the severity of the weather. 1t is
row planned to have cafe service
during July and August. as has been
the custom, but during June, Sep
TENDER and October, there will be a
janitor, and members will do their
own catering or supply help to do
SO. This will give Belfast members
a community house during those
months

developed by the machinism of the
Dawes plan than upon the realiZa-
ton of the idea of fair play it en-
bodies, that we must count in order
to e-establish between Germany and
her neighbors a feeling of conf
dence and TO prevent failure such
as to justify the application of sane
tons"
NJ. ALBERT believed that the Dawes
plan must be allowed to develop its
mechanism without political inter-
ferences that might disturb it's func-
tioning." but said that it must not
imagine that the plan would succeed
all the better for being left alone,
because, before putting it into acr
ton, the most difficult part of the
task has been the establishment
of political accord between the al
lied and associated powers on one
hand and on the other between the
allied and associated powers and
Germany. Once started on it's
course the most difficult part of the
task will be to maintain with vigil
ance a general political accord upon
the Democratic principles that in
spire this plan.
NJ. ALBERT elaborated his thesis
that the lesson of former recon
structions is that success is due
largely to the precautions taken not
to subordinate political consideration
to economic requirements" citing

Entente where many sound minds

Case of Eoy ID. Adams
Pointing ont that Roy ID. Adams
of Houlton after one experience had
left the liquor business only to be
persuaded to take it up again and
that he had paid considerable money
for protection while in the business,
Attorney Harry NJ. Briggs of Houlton
made a strong plea in behalf of the
petitioner. Adams at the November
term of the supreme judicial court
at Houlton in 1923 was sentenced to
pay fine of $500 and costs and to
be imprisoned in the county Jail for
four months and in default of pay
mcnt to serve six months additional
for the keeping of intoxicating
liquor unlawfulIy. On similar
charge the respondent was further
sentenced to pay fine of $500 and
costs and to be imprisoned three
months, and in default of payment
to serve six months additional. this
sentence TO take effect at the eX-
piration of the previous one.
Attorney Briggs asserted that it
is the contention of the petitioner
that he has no been engaged in the
liquor business since October, 1925,
and since that date he has been en-
gagged in the manufacture of lum-
Der; that he has given the Aroos-
took county authorities valuable in
formation in the prosecution of GER
tain persons duly convicted: that he
is in poor health and the term of
imprisonment imposed upon him
might have a serious result: and
that he is out of the liquor business
forever.
Mrs. Adams, wife of the petitioner,
stated that she had tried to dissuade
her husband from going into the
liquor business for the second time,
but he was promised protection-he
was tempted and fell She declared
that for this protection which her
husband supposed he was obtaining,
he paid $500 cash down~and $50 a
week.
HOdgdon Man Seeks Pardon
Attorney Briggs also appeared in
behalf of Wallace A. Lang of Hodg-
don, who was convicted at the last
, November term of the supreme
court in Houlton on a charge of I'M
lawful transportation of intoxicating
liquor and was sentenced to pay n
fine of $500 and costs and to serve
three months in Jail with six months
in addition if he failed to pay both
fine and costs. The fact that Lang
has a wife and six children who are
living in poverty and that Lang is
