Lieutenant Colonel Francis H.
Farnum, o. r. c.. chairman of the
general committee for the Obser-
vance of National Defense Day,
September II in this city,, was the
speaker at the regular meeting of
the Rotary Club. which was held
at the Augusta House, Friday even
ing, and told the Rotarians and
guests something of the origin, pur-
pose, and intent of the Defense Test,
and also about the plans for the
observance which is to be carried out
here.
At the conclusion of the talk by
Col. Farnum, the club voted to par
ticipate in the observance next Fri
day afternoon, and the 'Rotarians
will join with the members of the
Kiwanis Club in supplying the nee
essary personnel of one of the units
of the Organized Reserve which is
assigned to this city for recruiting
in case of National emergency.
The meeting last evening was the
first of the fall season of evening
meetings and the first to be held
under the new schedule of weekly
sessions. There were several
guests and visiting Rotarians, and
besides the speaking program, the
Rotarians furnished their own en-
tertainment and also the patrons of
the hotel in the main dining room
by their splendid rendition of several
song numbers, under the leadership
of J. Francis MacNichol.
Col. Farnum prefaced his remarks
on National Defense Day by briefly
reviewing the defense act Of 1920. by
which in case of emergency the
forces of the United States would
be divided into the first line of de-
tense, which would be composed of
the regular army and the National
Guard, and the second line of de-
Tense which would be made up of
the Organized Reserves. This plan
has been laboriously perfected as the
result of the experience gained by
our participation in the World War,
and it is believed that with the or
ganized reserve system, delays of a
year and more before troops could
wage offensive warfare. as was the
case in the World War, would be
eliminated.
The speaker told the Rotarians
that the officer personnel of the Or

Candidates For Office Come
And Go, But Principals
Go On Forever

Calvin Coolidge President of the United States, :
made the following statement recently, speaking to
Republicans: "You know the principles you represent
the principles for which party stands, and they
to be promoted and translated into sound govern
ment, it will be by electing men and women to office
that represent that thought and that ideal So
organize and select good candidates as and
after they selected do what can to elect Them
BY that method, certain you will secure the very
best results for yourselves, and the most patriotic
results for the America which we all love-"
These thoughts are good enough for great
leader therefore they will be good enough for every
Republican in Maine.
Again, President Coolidge says, speaking directly
to the Maine campaign and sending this message to
Maine, "Any who thinks he is giving support to
the President by voting the Republican national ticket
in November and the Democratic State ticket in Maine
in September is wide of the mark"
THE SMOKE SCREEN RAISED BY TAMMANY
HALL AND MR.. PATTANGALL HAS NOW
CLEARED AWAY
Thousands upon thousands of Republicans joined
by many Democrats are ready, united determined, to
repudiate Tammany Hall and Mr. Pattangall Mr..

doubtful whether there are any
more people living to "a ripe
old age" than formerly. d
even as many, for that matter.
The gain has been made
largely in cradle years. AS re-
CARDS individuals who reach ma
turity, they seem to die at about
the same average age as in for
mer generations.
AS far back as 1908, experts
estimated that three million
Americans were constantly on
the sick-list, and that AZ out of
every 100 of these illnesses were
preventable cases. Similar stu
alton today.
When people succumb to pre-
ventable diseases, they general
ly are victims of their own care
lessness. This carelessness in
many cases results from under
estimating their personal value
in cold dollars and cents.
For instance, take a man with
an income of $4,000 a wear.
Now, $4,000 is 6 per cent in
terest on an investment of $50
600. IF the $3000-a-year man
had an auto or any other ma
chine worth $4,000 he would
insure it against every possibility
OF disaster, and he would care
for it as if it were a priceless
possession. You can imagine a
radio bug neglecting a $4,000
receiving station if he owned it.
On the other hand, the 49,
OOO-a-year man often neglects
his $4,000 body as if it were
an, old bit of junk.
Give your body a square deal.
Treat it with the consideration
and care that its high value de-
serves.

must be convinced that nothing
else will do the work.
Yet, there is a better way Of
reducing the tax burdens - a
very much better way.
Oscar w. Underwood, now a
candidate for the Democratic
nomination for President, once
said:

The greatest abuse of the tax

Tax reduction of any sort will
be a relief, but the real oppor-

is through a lowering of tariff

day is the monstrous Fordney-

When King Tut's eyes, now

he was ruler of the greatest civ

Millions bowed to him, worship
