MADISON
Town to Receive
German Machine Gun

Word has been received by the
Madison Board of Trade that this
town is to be given a German Ma
chine Gun captured in the World
War. When the announcement was
made two years ago that captured
German guns were to be given 70
municipalities an immediate appli-
cation was made through the medi-
UNI of the Madison Board of Trade
after taking the matter up with the
board OF Selectmen. Application
was made for one of the big guns
but as there were so few they were
given to the largest towns but this
town is to receive its second choice
in the machine gun, which will
probably be placed on the lawn at
the new high school building.
H. Richardson of Dexter arrived
In town Thursday to take charge of
the local store Of the A. & p. Co.
during the vacation of d. N. Sawyer,
the regular manager.
Mr.. and Mrs. Leroy Gray left town

ing to Boston, where he expects to
make his homo in the future.

AGREEMENT WITH ITALY

The agreement between represent
atfyes of the Italian and OF our gov
eminent on terms Of debt settlement
is gratifying, although America has
conceded much. We have adhered to
the principle of full payment of the
amount Of the debt and permitted
the payment of interest according to
the ability Of Italy to pay.
II will be recalled that, at the time
Italy decided to enter the contest on
the side Of the allies, German indus
trialists and promoters had strong
grip on Ttaly's affairs and their op-
position was overridden by a spirit
which in many ways was admirable.
Moreover, once committed to the side
of the Allies the soldiers Of Italy
stood fast and suffered greatly.
Italy produces but small part OF
her food, she produces comparatively
little Of the material on which her
industries are employed. She is in a
somewhat precarious position finan-
HULL mas
been done to put her credit on a
better foundation. In the attitude
of her representatives at the con-
ference, in the work that has been
done to stabilize the country's re-
sources, is seen the effect of one
man power that of Mussolini. Such
dictatorship is a perilous undertake
ing but for the time it is in COM
mand, If it be judicious, it may pro-
duce in some ways excellent results.
The Italian commissioners did not
come in fear and trembling Of a pos
sible. political overturn on arriving
home. Mussolini will see to that.
The result suggests by contrast the
predicament in which the French
commission came to confer.

Wasn't DR.. Quack, the famous duck
doctor, hurrying., to the dear Old
Bramble Patch as we finished reading
Yesterdays story? OF course he was.
Dear Uncle Lucky had sprafned his
little pinllie toe, you Temember, and
Lady Love had called up DR.. Quack to
come over at once with his little black

"Gid-ap!" clicked the old pigs
tongue against his teeth and with
wiggle of his long ears, off trotted the
good little donkey, the creaky old cart
swaying to and fro over the uneven
road.
'"Who's ilI?" enquired Peter Pig, as
he flicked off with his whip a bother

portation agencies, the railroads,
now burn coal, although along their
entire length are sources Of hydro
electrical power. Theoretically that
power should be used in place Of coal
for such q purpose, used to the ad-
vantage Of the State. Indeed 1t
might seem the State could find a
way materially to encourage such
use.
We are told, and It sounds reason
able, that in order to develop our
hydro-electricai power cheaply 1t
should be done on large scale,
that the demand here in Maine does
not warrant the expense Of such de-
velopment. Yet development on
large scale is already taking place IN
the Androscoggin valley and we are
not lacking facilities in other parts
of the State. The impounding of the
waters does mean a large invest
ment of capital where capital is not
now invested and by SO much adds to
the taxable resources of our State.
Why should we permit valuable power
to run to waste when there is de-
mand for 1t is proper question. 1t
may not be properly answered by as
Stunning any dog-in-the-manger at
titude. We have had in the past dec
ade opportunity to bring industries
to Maine and in what respect are the
prospects for the next decade any
brighter?
On the other hand Maine does now
possess an advantage. even though
it be not utilizing 1t. The interest
which capital manifests respecting
our possibilities is unmistakable.
There is no evidence that it is dis
posed to make unfair use of what 1t
seeks and IL what it seeks may be
demonstrated to be mutually profit
able then would we be wise to be-
come a party to the development
proposed. In the nature of things
capital seeks profit from its invest
ment and should have it, but much
of those in control Of that capital.
And there is nothing in the record
Of such undertakings that warrant
us in not looking out for ourselves
and the future generations of Maine.
We do not know just how this may
be done, but we should make the at
tempt and the results will largely
depend on the enlightenment of the
selfishness we employ in the doing of
it, and we should not forget that 1t
is possible, If we may only find the
way, by which cooperation with
capital and enterprise may be made
mutually profitable. But just what is
the way? Isn't 1t time we were find
ing 1t, were determining as to the
methods by which, If we succeed in
making superior traps In the
Maine woods those, who wish to
control hydro electric power. will aid
us rather than say to us that good
enough mouse-traps are being made
in Massachusetts, where a, more
profitable rate for power may be had
than from any experimental enter
prises here at home?
Mr.. Young expressed the opinion
that there should be uniform en-
abling acts regulating power through
/ out New England, but evidently. II
these laws are to be uniform. it first
should clearly be demonstrated what
Maine, the source Of the power,
which 1t is proposed she shall throw
into the pool, will receive by way OF
compensation from this pooling.
There no longer may be any doubt as
to the opinion capital entertains re-

first seven years of Malcolm's life

learned his first lessons, with his
mother as his teacher. She was a
cultured and talented woman, and to
her Malcolm owes a large part of his

Hail, Armistics Day!


Armistice day
Was a glorious day
The sun was bright
And shed it's light
Ger land and sea;
OH Could there be
A lovelier sight
Than a day so bright
With skies so blue.
The whole day through
Till came soft twilight
And shadowy night.
Eight years ago
Brought Wars death-blow;
And white-winged Peace
Caused sweet release;
The cannon's roar
Was heard no more.
The SWORD was sheathed,
Men once more breathed
Without a fear;
For Peace drew near.
: Yes! Peace had come e..
And thoughts of home
And loved ones dear
Brought hope and cheer;
Lifted up faint hearts;
Healed wounds and smarts,
For Peace held sway
On Armistice Day.
Hail Armistice Day!
