FILCHING RIDES

Every mode of travel has its para
sites. At sea it is the stowaway, and
his tactics have remained the same
from the era of sailing vessels down
to the modern liner and the days of
restricted immigration. On land
there has been more variety. Thirty
years ago the railroads we're the
main highways for the hobo, who
was content to view the country
from freight car door. Once these
wanderers were numerous enough to
be a pest to train crews. Now they
are heard of occasionally, sometimes
being listed as "unknowns" among
the victims of freight wreck, but
they have mostly disappeared.

THIS COUNTRY through the use
of the telephone, has become land
of instant communication. 1t is al
most a necessity and for all rural
homes, especially those pro produce
poultry and eggs, or ship products to
city markets. The telephone can be
credited with revolutionizing life on
the farm; it has brought the city
and country together; it has obliter-
ated distance; it has developed
neighborliness among farmers, and
it has been of inestimable value to
the farmer in facilitating his busi-
ness and saving his time.
1t is difficult to comprehend how
the farmer can very well do without
the telephone, but then, for that
matter, it would be pretty hard for
any of us to dispense with it. The !
whole structure of modern business |
is built around the telephone and it's
quick method of communication.
With the radio and telephone in
home the family on farm are not
isolated. They have music, lectures,
sermons and all kinds of news, for
the listening at almost every hour
in the day. Dinner music in the
farm home is restful and a pleasure
that farmers of only few years
back, never dreamed as being pos
sible. The farm life is changing
with the balance of affairs.

EVERY piece of material that
goes into a dwelling is protected
from it's raw state to the finished
product by insurance. Without in
surance, manufacturers would be
required to charge much more in Or
der to protect themselves against
loss. Without insurance there would
be no mortgage loans, and the man
buying home would be required to
pay cash.
There must be Insurance.! 1t
maintains the cost of materials with
in the reach of the average citizen
and it offers a basis for credit upon
which loans can be made.
No individual could afford to risk
all his resources in single invest
ment. such as a home, if it could all

European Situation Promising
 Field for U. s. Interests

Hughes, European rep resentative of the Burley Tobacco Growers Cooperative association, who recently returned from Brussels Belgium.
 Mir. Hughes reported last years sales by the Burley association in Europe approximately 90 per cent. More than sales of the previous year. He declared that under exist ing conditions, it is reasonable to assume gradual increase in the purchasing power of Europe and that with conditions remaining fav- orable, sales of burley tobacco on the continent may absorb ten per cent of the entire American produc- ton within the near future.

MAINE GOVERNOR DEFENDS PRIMARY
Addresses 8Srd Session of State
 Legislature

Augusta, Me-, Jan. 6.-lP)- Gov ernor Ralph o. Brewster, in his in- augural address to the S3d Maine legislature today, defended the direct primary system against the attacks of "certain individuals who have long been influential in our public life but have found their power weakened in recent years"
 The governors emphasis on the direct primary came as an after math of the contest to determine the successor of the late United States Senator Bert M. Fernald. during which it was charged that Arthur R. Gould. who subsequently, was elect ed, had exceeded the S1,500 limit al- lowed by law for expenditures dur ing his primary campaign. Although eXonerated after a hearing before the secretary of state. Gould's right to his seat is now being challenged in the senate.
 Governor Brewster said that the state budget would show "at least as ample provision for carrying on the various activities of the state as nas been provided at any time in the past" and that "it is possible to show reduction in the tax rate that will mean much to the citizens of Maine at this time"

PREDICT WAR ON NAVY ALLOWANCE
Coolidge May Be OVerridden on
 Ships Appropriation

Washington, Jan. lP-The naval appropriation bill moved through the house today to produce the first test of strength between "big navy" men and those who, standing with President Coolidge, would avoid for the present any extensive building program.
 An amendment-reefed course faced leaders guiding the bill in &C., cordance with the presidents in- junction that no additional appro- priations be authorized and thus keep within the budget recommen- dations.
 In his note yesterday to Represen- tative French, republican, Idaho, in charge of the measure. MT. Coolidge expressly warned against providing funds for construction of three cruisers authorized in 1924, but house leaders today were not cer- tain they could muster sufficient strength to defeat amendments to appropriate the money.
 A prospective amendment, in principle in accord with the presi- dents wishes but technically at vari- ance, and designed as compromise which it's sponsor hoped would be agreeable to both groups, loomed as the local point as the battle re- sumed today. The amendment, sug- gested by Representative Tison the republican leader, would appropri- ate a nominal sum, possibly s400,- 900, with which the navy could draw plans for the three cruisers and thus prevent lapse on next July of con- gressional authority to build them.
 MT. Tilson, who discussed the matter with the president, said the executive was not opposed to the change so long as it did not disturb the budget total. He pointed out that to win the complete approval of MT Coolidge 1t would be neces- sary to make a reduction some where in the navy bill equal to the amount provided for the cruiser plans.
 That the compromise is not ac- ceptabe to big navy men was indi- cated in the announced intention of Representative Britten, republican, Illinois, member of the naval com- mittee, to offer an amendment to appropriate nearly S10.000,000 for actual construction of the ships,
