Attorney Daggett
Explains ArOOstOok
Valley Railroad Bonds

Portland, Me-, Nov. 22-That the
bonds issued by the Aroostook
Valley Railroad in 1909 were sold
only to towns interested in the con-
struction of that railroad and to
them with the express understand.
ing that interest on them would not
be met until the company was in
financial condition to do so is declar.
ed by Charles F. Daggett of Pres
que Isle, secretary of the railroad
in statement by him today to Dan.
lei F. Field, chairman of the Repub.
lican State committee.
1t was one of these bonds thai
was displayed at public meetine
by Fulton j. Redman, Democratic
candidate for U. S. senator as a cam.
paign document, his Republican op-
ponent, Arthur r. Gould, being
president of the railroad.
Chairman Field in giving out the
statement of Mr.. Daggett said:
AT the time Of the Republican
meeting in this city I stated that
complete refutation would be &C.
cepted as final. This has been done
No lawyer stands higher in his pro-
fesion that Mr.. Daggett."
The statement follows:
my attention has been called to
certain statements made by Fulton
j. Redman, Democratic candidate
for United States senator, in which
he apparently accuses Arthur r.
Gould of bad faith in causing to be
sold to the public debenture bonds
of the Aroostook Valley Railroad
Co., with coupons attached.
THE transaction referred to was
in 1909, at which time Mr.. Gould or
ganiZed the Aroostook Valley Rail-
road Co., and undertook the con-
struction of an electric road from
Pressure Isle to Washburn. This was
new enterprise for Aroostook
county and the construction of the
road meant much to the commune
ties which it was to serve. In order
to obtain funds in addition to the
bonded Indebtedness necessary for
the construction of the road, served
by the road, with the express under
standing that the company should
not be called upon to pay the cou-
pons until it was in a financial con-
dition to do so. The town of Pres
que Isle took $4,000 of these deben-
lures with that understanding, OPEN
ly expressed in the town meeting at
which the town voted to purchase
the bonds.
II have never known or heard of
but one instance where a holder of
these bonds demanded payment. NV
recollection is that one of the bonds
was purchased by a man bv the
name of MCGOWAN, who afterwards
presented the coupons for payment.
My impression is that Mr.. MCGOWAN
was a bond salesman and the fact
that there were several coupons at
tached to the bond that were due at
the time of the purchase must have
given Mr.. MCGOWAN notice that
there was some reason why the same
had not been paid. 1t is very like.
~ that the bond now in the possess
sion of the man whom Mr.. Redman
describes as a MIN going to work

in overalls,' is the same bond pur-
chased by Mr.. MCGOWAN. The
Aroostook Valley Railroad Company
never sold any of these bonds ex-
cept to towns or parties directly
benefited by the railroad. All cou
pons attached to said debentures
maturing prior to December 1924,
with the exception of the coupons
attached to less than 81 900 worth of
bonds were voluntarily surrendered
and destroyed. 1t was inevitable that
few could not be located. The re-
naming coupons have been paid as
they have matured and been pre-
scented.
II have been the secretary of the
Aroostook Valley Railroad Company
from the time Of it's organization to
the present time, and, at the time
of the issuing of the debentures and
selling the same, 1 was acting as at
torney for the company and was
familiar with the transactions re-
ferred to-

Calais Gas Co. to
Reduce Rates Where
Used for Heating

The application of the Citizens Gas
Company Of Calais for authority to
establish reduced rates for gas used
for heating purposes, has been grant
ed by the Public Utilities Commits
sion in a supplemental decree lust
handed down. The decree reads as
follows:
This Commission by its decree
dated Jan. Is, 1921, authorized the
Citizens Gas Compan yto establish a
rate Of $500 per thousand cubic feet
for gas with a minimum monthly
charge of 81. BY further provision of
said decree the case was retained on
the open docket of the Commission
for such other and further order as
upon evidence already before 1t. or
thereafter to be presented, seems just
and proper.
by petition now presented by said
gas company, 1t is presented that in
view Of the existing situation attend
Ing the production of gas and the
sale thereof, 1t Is proposed to estab-
fish for the winter period, and as a
trial proposition a rate of $3.50 per
thousand cubic feet, with a minimum
charge of SIS per meter per month for
gas furnished for heating purposes. It
is represented by the petitioner that
1t is it's belief that the establishment
of said reduced rate will afford the
opportunity Of supplying gas for
heating purposes during the winter
period, or at time when the demand
for gas for other purposes is not as
great as during the summer period.
at is further represented by the
petitioner that for reason of the
present operating conditions. the in
creased cost attending the furnishing
Of gas for heating purposes will be
relatively low and will be compensate

Chapter 211 of the Public Laws Of
1921" he added. Under this section
police officers are given full power
to stop any motor vehicle to exam
inc Identification numbers and marks
thereon, and Section 81 of the seme
chapter, which reads as follows:
"Whoever knowingly buys, sells
receives. disposes of, aids in the dis
posal of, conceals or has in his pos
session any motor vehicle from
which the manufacturers serial num-
Der or any other distinguishing num-
Der or Identification mark has been
removed, defaced covered, altered or
destroyed for the purpose of con-
cealment or disappearing the
identity of said vehicle, shall be fined
not more than $1,000 or imprisoned
not more than one year, or BOTH"
The seriousness of violating this
section is at once apparent, and 1t
is not believed that many individuals
will attempt to hamper the State po-
lice in their work of tracing and re-
covering these cars.
Chief Field ltated that in every
case where the unsuspecting buyer
of such car had expended money
for accessories which were placed on
the car, these were taken note OF
and will be returned to the buyer
who loses a car through seizure.

WHAT THE FEDERAL RESERVE
HAS DONE FOR BUSINESS

What the Federal Reserve System
has done for business is summed up
in these points: 1t has ~ given bust
ness greater confidence in the ability
of the banks to care for credit needs;
90 introduced an elastic currency
and eliminated money panics; (3)
eliminated extreme seasonal fluctua-
lions in rates of interest; (4 brought
business safely through the war and
postwar crises; 60 saved millions of
dollars to business through its eff
ficient system for check collection;
(6) made the gold reserve more effec-
tive as basis for credit extension in
times of extraordinary demand; (7)
aided in the financing OF foreign and
domestic trade by developing dis
count market for acceptances: (8)
provided a means for handling huge
financial operations Of the govern
ment without interference with bust
ness; (9) aided in the re-establish-
ment of the gold standard abroad !;
(10) given us an experienced banking
organization which will assist Us in
meeting the future exigencies OF bust
ness at home and abroad with courage
and confidence.

mind. And there is the key to the
whole problem. / am not saying the
pollen has nothing to do with it. How
ever, I do maintain that it's position is
secondary one. Else why does not
everyone who inhales pollen have hay
fever?
That the patients mental attitude
has much to do with the production of
hay fever can not be denied. Most of
my hay fever patients know right to
the day and the hour when this years
attack will strike them. Mr.. A, for
example, knows that on Thursday, the
twelfth of August, his hay fever will
be upon him. Not only that, but he
knows it will hit him in the middle of
the forenoon (Thursday's-not his).
And so through the whole list, they all
know when it will come, how it will
arrive, what it will do to them. They
are looking for it, preparing for it
inviting it. Is it any wonder they get
it? I sometimes think they would be
terribly disappointed if the unwelcome
guest failed to arrive.
Let us say a man has an obstinate
case of coryza ("code id tina hed")
during August. If the idea that it was
hay fever had taken up it's abode

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Stop Swallowing Air

Mrs. G. Writes: II came across this
article in the P o., where woman
speaks about gas in the stomach I
am bothered with the same thing she
speaks of. have tried every remedy
/ have heard of without relief / send
you this article so you will know what
| am speaking about"
Reply am returning the article
referred to, in which DR.. Scholes gives
Mrs. H. L. w. the best advice that
could be offered, and which you can
follow with profit to yourself. I might
add that a good little "stunt" for all
swallowers is to hold the mouth wide
open for ten minutes or so, several
times a day, the while breathing
through the nose. This often breaks
the habit of swallowing air.
AS DR.. Scholes says, however, you
should see doctor to make certain
that you are suffering from no organic
disease of the stomach.
