MONEY OR YOUR LIFE.
Cherryfield Man Says that Was De.
mand He Met on Road.


Frank Patriquin, aged twenty-five,
of Cherryfield, was arraigned in the
Ellsworth municipal court Monday,
charged with assault on Charles
White, also of Cherryfield. The al
legged assault occurred in township
%, which is in Hancock county.
hence the arraignment here. Patri-
quin was sentenced to fine of $40
and costs, or thirty days in jail. At
present he is in the Ellsworth jail.
There is more than the story of
simple assault behind this case. 1t
seems that Mr.. White, who is an
elderly man, was travelling on foot
from neighboring town to his
| home, and stopped at a house to ask
| lodging for a night. Patriquin was
working at the place where he
stopped, and Mr.. White shared his
room, ate breakfast with him in the
morning, and departed on his jour
ney. He had gone about half
mile, when he heard someone coming
behind him, and found that it was
Patriquin.
"Hello!" said Mr.. White; 81 didn't
know you were coming this way, or
| would have waited"
I'm after YOU" replied Patriquin,
according to Mr. Whites testimony,
drop your wallet; I want your
money, or I'll have to kill you
Mr.. White thought at first it was a
| joke, but noticing a rock in each of
Patriquin's hands and a dangerous
CLEAN in his eye, he parleyed: 81
have only a little money" he said,
''you wouldn't kill me for that. You
would get found out. What would
you do with me?'
ooh, I'd throw you behind those
rocks" was the calm rejoinder, &C
cording to Mr.. White.
Finally he induced Patriquin to
accompany him to the next house,
where he said he would write
check for $40 for him. Arrived
where there were witnesses, Mr..
White refused to deliver his money
or a check, and Patriquin's scheme
blew UP. His arrest followed.
The Hancock county officials ex-
press the opinion that Patrlquln is
mentally irresponsible, and danger
Gus man to be at large. They thlnk
the Washington county oflclals
should investigate his condition and
have him properly cared for.

Judgin' from the nature of the
troubles car owners have it's plain
that they're always tryin' to catch

They find they're usin' the car when
they know that it ought to have

any service today. By the time to-
morrow comes they've not only
neglect but trouble.
This means that the average car
never has fair deal and it never
shows what it can do in the way of
performance. The owner Is always a
slave to 1t and never the master.
That isn't my idea of car ownership.
I'd want to feel that every time l
went out for ride the car would
be ready for 1t. Being ready, of
course it could deliver the goods.
Seems to me that most owners
make the mistake right at. the start.
They assume that because the car is
brand new it will run ataleast a few
weeks without the usual attention.
That's dead wrong. 1t ought to have
a weeks attention before you even
start to use 1t. Then you're always
with your car-not trailin' behind
in the dust.

DEPENDS How you Drive

No set rule should be given for
the amount of play" in the steering
wheel. There is, of course, certain
allowable variation for different
cars, but most of the variation III
this adjustment should be scaled &C
cording to the temperament of the
driver and his habits.
Many drivers steer fine" That
is, they do not turn out to pass an
other car until they are rather close
upon it. They cut in and out OF
things rather smartly. In short
their steering is extremely precise,
and for that reason they should have
virtually no lost motion in the steer
ing gear at all.
Drivers who take things easier and
who desire maximum comfort IN
steering can often obtain desired re-
suits by adjusting the gear for
more play" than is usually recon-
mended Never placing themselves
in a predicament where slower ac-
ton of the steering gear would
present any difficulty they can and
should enjoy the advantages OF
more relaxed steering gear.
A little experience should show the
average driver just about what Is
the logical adjustment for his needs
At all events he should not assume
that the adjustment of the gear as
he found it when buying the car Is
necessarily right.

Nothing Is more annoying than to
get half way to ones destination
and then have the car break down.
It would be so much better not to

1t is very much the same way with
the man who would like to hog the
road. 1t would be SO much better
if he would go all the way with the
idea instead of breaking down SO
soon.
If he really felt that the road was
his he would probably treat 1t the
way he treats his own property.
But he only goes half way with the
idea.
If the road were his own he
wouldn't tolerate carelessness. he
wouldn't stand for the things that
happen en- route. This Is my road,
he would say. Measure up to
standard, or get Off. =.
There are a few motorists who be-
lieve that the road is all their own,

America Pre-eminent in Music

at is true!" Francis Macnlillen
agrees. as we sit together discussing
the musical problems before our
country today TT is true that at
last we have reached the position
where we can claim pre- eminence IN
Music and Art as well as in material
greatness.
This coming year gives every In,
dication of settling this issue for all
time. We have reached the turning
point-and from now on we may
have no fear regarding our future.
And the credit is due largely to
our women-to our women'S clubs IN
nearly every city and town through
out our country-and especially 10
the 800 clubs in the Federated MI
sic Clubs of America, that for years
have been working indefatigably 10

higher spiritual aspirations.
"Our American women have awak-
ened the soul of America-until to-
dav we realize that our rating as a
nation is not in our market places
alone, but stands or falls to a large
degree on our cultural standards.

we not merely welcome the musicians
that come to our shores: but we are
bound to create our own musicians
and our own music. Ann Reynolds

Since air cleaners for ;carhuretQgs
have come into vogue some intefests
ing points in connection with the cir-'
culation OF air in the carburetor have
come to light. Under some conditions
1t has been found that normally air
rushes into the instrument too quick
ly, while under other conditions more
power could be had by forcing air
into the intake. Different types of
air cleaners are being found to cover
these points in varying degrees, and
the centrifugal type employing a
small fan is said to handle all condi-
tions automatically.
