executive who insists upon retrench-
men in government expenditure. For
one thing he would cut out, 46 Of the

thing he would reduce Mexico's
standing army from $4,000 to $4,000
and does not say what he will do to

general supposition is that it is easy
to get into mischief down in Mexico.

Gales predecessors have depended
on the power of the army to retain
their grasp on the government. He
will be a remarkable man if he shall
prove able to get along without such
support. He has surprised many by
giving the choicest plum at his dis
posal, the post Of Ambassador to the

One More Campaign
This for the Farms
VI 0uld Not Abandon
Gardiner. Maine,

Gardiner. Maine.
Dec. 29th, 1924.
On Nov. Goth, last a prosperous
and capable farmer, a man of af-
fairs in his own county called on the
writer at his home in Hartford,
oxford County. Maine. with the
question, What can we do with this
problem of abandoned farms in
Maine? If it keeps on we shall have
no StaIe by and by. The porcupine
and gray birch will have 1t all. In
my town alone ten farms that once
supported a family in comfort have
been abandoned since the first of
last January" II don't know Sir
what we can do" l told him. But
M belief is, that each town should
make a supreme effort to care for
its own"
The town cannot buy and sell real
estate as a business. but the indi-
vidual citizen can. They may form
companies or acquire corporate
powers to buy. sell or to hold these
laims. II any special legislation is
needed it can probably he secured at
the coming session or the Legis-
lature. There is no better invest
ment to the small capitalist than
these farms. The writer tried one
OF these some thirty-fve years ago
in the Baldwin apple belt of oxford
County and set out two thousand
trees. The results are quite salts
factory today too. to the owner,
Miss Winifred Robinson. Hartford,
Maine. These town companies can
form county organizations and these
at last combine as one great
State organization. Strong enough
perhaps to secure looSening OF the
immigration restrictions on Finland
and Sweden which would in large
measure solve the problem.
If these abandoned farms grow up
to forests of native growth and they
will pay fifteen percent from the
start. Our quickest growing and
selling varieties-pine. fir, Eastwood,
poplar, white birch. oak. and others
will give you twenty-five percent
annual increase in wood volume of
each tree. The only serious hazard
Is fire. The, Department of Agri-
culture at Washington will supply
complete instructions If you wish to
plant, possibly furnish some seed
from the Scandinavian Countries If
YOU favor Swedish and Norway pine

information that | possess from hall
century of experience in apple
tree culture and the surveying of
timber land. estimating the amount
of the growth for the buyers, will be
freely given to anyone who really
means to do something to help the
state of Maine. This plan may be
deficient in what some of our great
takers are pleased to call Far
Seeing Statesmanship" but it is as
far as my aged eyes can see at the
present moment.
II some younger and swifter
thinker can outline a better one

for save the State from wreck we
will. If some man who drove an
auto one hundred of the finest days
in the year could not make a living
on his farm. there are men who can
or make them valuable producers OF
choice varieties of timber or Of the
best apple in the world.
AS soon as the land can be seen,
write me IL you want anything.

Former Mayor Edward ". Hyde
of Bath, a director of the post OF
Portland had something more TO
say TUESDAY regarding the proposed
Nennebcc bridge. He says: In con-
vcrsat!on with u very high govern
ment official in Washington short
time ago | mentioned the opinions
expressed by Captains Perkins,
CLANCY and Goss regarding the clos
ing of the river in winter if a bridge
was built at Bath. This official
stated that if such testimony was
shown ut n hearing the War De-
partment would undoubtedly disap-
prove n bridge at this location as
an obstruction to navigation. A
great deal OF discussion and bother
over this bridge matter could be
saved If the kcnncben Bridge AS
sociaton would ask tho War Dc
partment for q hearing on their To-
cation now"
Proponents of the "Ruid a. Bath
idea for the Kennehec bridge are
row calling attention TO the fact that
Richmond has a natural bridge sat

With a shelving capacity of $1,000
volumes, the University of Maine
library now has 1880 volumes. &C.
cording to the annual reports, of
Librarian r. L. Walk ey, made pub
lie Tuesday. AS the annual in
crease is about 1000 volumes, it is
estimated that in two years the
shelves will be crowded to capacity.
The library received last year 20
books donated by residents of tho
state Of Maine. OF these, A were
given by John NJ. Oak of Bangor,
>T3, the Oldest living graduate Of the
Maine State College. Thirteen were
given by members OF the university
faculty and 10 by other friends of
the university. The library has now
used up all OF the Sl.150 emergency
fund which was given promptly in
1922 by the General and New York
Alumni Associations in response TO
an appeal by President Little. Use
Of the library in the past five years
EaS increased lou per cent, III OtheF
words, one and one-half times as
many books were borrowed for
home use and supplementary read
ing in 19c3-2f as in 1920. The
increase in appropriations for the
library for the same period has been
l5o per cent, but this does not mean
ilat support OF the library has kept i
pace with the increase in use. !
Books and periodicals are SO much |
more expensive now, Mr.. Walkley
says, that Il dollar spent today will
buy only as much as SS cents spent |
five years ago. OF the total library |
expenditures, AZ per cent is spent |
for books, binding and periodicals. |
This percentage is higher than In
most university libraries. as salaries |
are usually the greatest item of cN-
pense.

A PROMISING NEW YEAR

AS viewed on approach, the New
Year presents an appearance of con-
fldence. There are sound reasons
for confidence. They are not con-
fined to our country, although here
is where we get the first impression.
Is 1t too much to say that the peo-
PIE here have not, surely in recent
years shown more stabilized minds
respecting what we ought to do?
Whether we are more capable OF
keeping good resolutions remains to
be seen, but 1t Is apparent we wish
to get our bearings and 60 ahead:
that we are tired of quack doctors,
fed up on parlor pink milleniums
and are more inclined to depend on
the family doctor for our ailments
than upon alleged experts function
ing from a government bureau.
Briefly, is 1t too much to say that
we are in the mood to see what
We may do with the approved tools
at hand. laying our plans in accord
ancs with experience rather than
after the suggestions Of the
theorists?
As for the world as a whole we
may have been apprehensive re-
specting warlike fever In Japan,
bolshevism in China and Russia and
bad faith in Germany. We have
seen fever in the Orient somewhat
alleviated. we may be assured that
communism is making one Of the
most conclusive demonstrations in
all history Of its futility for good
and Of its possibilities for evil; and
We need not be considered over
optimistic in assuming that sanity
and common sense will prevail in
the end. The German problem has
several promising features. notwith-
standing increased lack of confidence
in the good intentions Of that people;
we see the allied nations presenting
4 united front. which the Germans
have 50 persistently attempted to
prevent and We note that way out
has been devised in the Dawes plan.
The process of stabilization
throushout the world seems better
understoood by the leaders Of world
thought than at any time since the
Wcrld War. /
Secretary Hoover's forecast for
1rA AA +;
reasons are sound, his conclusions
appear warranted. We know that
agriculture in this country is ON a
better footing. Purchasing power of
labor has not as a whole been cut
down by reduced wages. Conditions
in the textile industries are not
such as might be wished but are not
thought unsound. Wages as a
whole Mr.. Hoover finds 100 per cent
above pre-war; railroads have kept
up efficiency, and in many instances
improved it notwithstanding many
The foreign trade has shown con-
expansion the past year.
South America despite three revolu
tions has increased its prosperity;
in France, Italy and Belgium i'm !
is marked. +
Judged by the past, the world, If /.
it will behave itself, is warranted In
many favors from the

1t is said President Coolidge would
like to call another naval armament
conference during the next year but
1t does not appear that he has re-
ceived any assurances from other
nations that such a conference is de-
sired. Were we to appropriate a
billion or two dollars toward naval
armament they would be anxious to
confer. But even a conference to
reduce armament may be bought at
too great a price,

It is stated on excellent authority
that German agents with millions at
their disposal. after offering Samuel
Gompers huge sums II ne would use
his influence to stop the making of
munitions for the Allies, and when
he refused each and all of these
bribes. told him to name his own
price. Then he said to them that
he worked for the American Fedora
alton Of Labor for the salary which
1t paid him; that he had no income
from any other source and would
never have any. Evidently Samuel
Gompers estimated some Of the
things Of life as more valuable than
wealth, and among them were coun-
try. and faithfulness to an ideal.
