scented on the executive board of the
Waldo. Knox, Lincoln Good Roads AS
ISOLATION by three citizens selected at

eSts of the city and county. Those

Foster c. Small NJ. D., and Leroy A.
Paul, local automobile man. The OBJ
ject of the association, of which Capt.

hard surface between Northport and
Belfast and Frankfort and Hampden,
it Is gravel road with tarred sur
face. A permanent hard surface road
from Lincoln county to Penobscot
is the end In view and the Good Roads
Association will bend al energies to
reach that goal. Samuel, S. Lord, sec
rotary of the Rockland Chamber of

A MATTER OF QUALIFICATION

The selection of Brig. General
Albert Greenlaw for the important
position Of special ambassador of
the American Legion to establish
and manage the affairs Of the
Legion office in Paris for liason with
the French government officials is
very gratifying to the generals many
friends. Moreover 1t is a recogni-
ton Of Maine mans eminent fit
ness for such an important position.
It comes from associates in other
parts of the country, from those
who have become acquainted with
his capacity for such important
duties as will be those of the in
cumbent Of that post,
This also is a reminder that
President Coolidge a few months
ago, while looking about for high
way builders to represent this coun-
try at the world conference, selected
a Maine man, Paul D. Sargent, as
one Of them, the man to whom more
than to any other Is to be credited
Names enviable position with re-
gard to highway development and
the system under which so much has
been accomplished. Evidently up
here IN Maine there is opportunity
to command recognition for ability.

was not far wrong when he said:
Every wind has its weather" Winds
from the east may mean that a storm
is near at hand; wind from the west.
that the storm is past and gone.
The Bureau also agrees that THE
wind from the northeast" is neither
good for man nor beast"
Verify it is comforting to us shorn
lambs to have the winds of doubt
tempered to our condition, but the
heart should be delighted that not
all the old myths are true. There
are many myths Of the immediate
present the untruth of which should
be exposed, and so we get back to
the faith that the truth is mighty and
shall prevail.

PROPAGANDA vs. HISTORY

The great characters In history
Will continue to command interest
so long as man is interested in
man. In their day hated by many,
as their background becomes dim
and their figures are revealed apart
from confusing details. these char
scters occasionally become magni-
fed, in some instances worshipped,
often revered. But this nowadays
Is not long permitted. Wielders of
sharp pens seeking a livelihood see
IN them a shining mark, material
with (which to shock the common
herd accepting the obligation of
reverence, and so excite discussion
and "bulr' the market for the critics
wares
Karl Schriftgiesser writing for the
Boston Transcript would impress us
with the obligation to see that, 'if
in the past nothing but good has
been said of the dead we should
guard against the future possibility
that nothing but bad should be
said. There is something smart
about taking some poor old chap
whom we have been taught to think
was a fine fellow and painting his
wart in red.''
he further reminds US of an
aspect of history, as it is presented
in too many instances, which it will
be- well TO keen in mind.
There have always been two
kinds of historians. One is the
hired man, working for a cause.
The other is the lover, serving only
Truth, his mistress. Usually the
former writes for school textbooks,
misinforming his readers to suit his
own political, national or religious
tastes. in tilling his readers with
hatred for those whom he hates and
making heroes of his own kind.
The falsifications of this type of his
torian are given to US when we are
very young and make a deep I'M
preston upon our minds and often
upon our hearts"
While a general impression is that
only after the lapse of time is the
truth determined, nevertheless this
nowise relieves us Of the obligation
to do what we may to improve the
histories from which our school
children derive their imn~ecsions.
And in this connection we should
not overlook the efforts that may be
put forth in an endeavor to propa-
gandize those histories. Manifestly
.ohanges should be subjected to the
supervision OF those recognized as
the best, the most impartial author
tiles. Evidently there Is need that
this be done. Recently the state
ments Of an observer Of the late
war fatty contradicting statements
appearing In school histories and cit
ing authorities to support him have
been made public, and so far as
learned have not been disputed
The school history should be as ac-
eurate as 1t is possible to make a
history.

ty, being the best Gamer in the

milton Of their work.
Miss Smart is student at the \.
H. Fay High school in Dexter where

Upon her return from the Chicago
trip she will make a report to State
Club Leader Lester Shibles, copies of

farm and brought a wagon, but Poland
died before they could move him.

this town, and was visiting his grand
mother, Mrs. Viola Turner, at Fay

said Lady Love, closing the kitchen
door as a gust of wind scattered a
cloud of dry leaves upon the floor of
the little back porch. I'm sure he
is hungry. When did you leave the
Farmyard?" she asked, turning to
the forlorn old gobbler.
"Some time ago. he answered.
and then he went on to tell all that
had happened to him while away by
his lonesome; how Danny Fox had
almost caught him; how the little
rabbit had asked Downy Wood
pecker TO call for the Policeman Dog.
and how they had just escaped being
seen by the Farmers Boy
Dear me-" sighed Lady Love.
