M P Howell, of the Wultyrboro

Bounded a clear note of warning ou
what 1h K(,lhK on not only In thin state
but all over the Hilled .Stales.
TliIh extract will Klve an Idea of
the nature of the entire article.
"The people should support and
maintain and preserve the government
ami not expect the government
to support and maintain ihu people.
The people have lost all sense
of public morals The government
treasury is regarded as a tuud to take
as much as you can ft out. and not
ever put anything in. government
money belongs to whoever can take
It. by guile or craft States, cities
and Individuals arc engaged In a fatefid
inssel to grab by fair moults or.
I,,ill as much public money as possible.
It's no defense that It Is being
partially used for valuable public Improvements,
for only a Hinall pait
of It Is so used, and many of the socalled
public Improvements are merely
pretexts. One state, town or Individual
will eay. they might us well
get their share while the riot of spending
goes on. This argument Is both
puerile and dishonest. Where will it
end? What will be the Until effect

Bankruptcy of finances lor the one |

among us the anomaly of men whoj
are in private business honest, bul^
who are public thieves. j
This sort of talk Is not popului..
people do not like to be told disagree-,

drift along and "take it easy." especially
when there is atllm of moral

Itself."
AN ARTIST INVENTOR
On October 1. 1SS2, Samuel F. lb
Morse, an American painter who had i
been studying the old masters In
Europe, sailed from Havre. France,
for New York. On the voyage ho discussed
with fellow passengers the
properties of the electro-magnet and
tho famous discovery of electro-magnetic
induction by Faraday the year
before.
As a result, ho got the idea that
signals might be transmitted by means j
of electric sparks, and while still on)
shipboard he made rough draPs of thej
necessary apparatus, w hich lie showed I
to Ills companions It was not until J
is:ui. however, that he completed an
Instrument that would work. J
After many discouragements ho flually
succeeded iii getting the government
to build a telegraph line beiweeu
Baltimore and Washtilguo.

Both Cobolt.^M anganese
Needed in Making Steel
Cobalt is used in steels that are
mttde to hold cutting edges at high
temperatures. Such steels ure used
in high speed cutting tools and for
permanent magnet steel, observes
an authority in the Chicago Tribune.
The United States uses about 10
per cent of the world production of
cobalt. It produces none. Imports
come chiefly from Canada, Belgian
' Africa, and Australia.
Munganese is used in small quantities
in steel manufacturing to eliminate
gases. One to two per cent of
manganese in steel increases the
strength of the metal. Twelve per
I cent manganese steel makes an extremely
tough metal that is resistant
to abrasion.
Small amounts ure present in all
steels. Steel rails contain 1 to 2
per cent. Frogs, switches and
dredge bucket teeth are made of
steel containing 12 per cent manganese.
The United States produces
onfy an insignificant amount of manganese
and uses about 20 per cent
of the world output. Source of supplies
are Russia, Africa, Brazil and
India.
Other non-ferrous metals used in
making steel include molybdenum
und vanadium.
Molybdenum is used to produce a
steel that is capable of being drawn
or hammered out without losing its
strength and toughness. It makes
possible a strong steel that is particularly
vuluable for tubing and certain
machinery parts.
The United States supplies 80 per
cent of the world's molybdenum.
Domestic consumption takes about
30 per cent of the world supply.
Vanadium gives resiliency and
strength to steel used in tools,
springs, and machinery parts. The
United States produces about 15 per
cent of the total output and supplements
its supply with imports from
Peru and Rhodesia.
'Purebred' Descriptive
Of Full-Blooded Horses
The word thoroughbred is often,
even in well informed circles, erroneously
used in referring to a fullblooded
breed of horses?when the
correct descriptive term is purebred,
writes Capt. Maxwell M. Corpening
in the Chicago Tribune.
Thoroughbred, rightly used, means
a definite breed of horse which is
commonly known as the race horse.
The history of the thoroughbred is
well known. The breed descends
from the Arab, the product of 200
years of breeding for speed and size.
The breeding still goes on.
Not generally known is the fact
that it costs much more to raise an
offspring from a large, fast horse
than from a small, inferior one.
Thoroughbreds have a general range
in size of from 14.2 to 17 2 hands (the
hand being 4 inches) and 900 to
1,300 pounds in weight. Color varies
greatly. * "
The chief uses to which a thoroughbred
is put are in the field of
sports?racing, polo, and hunting.
Usually it is much higher strung
than a common horse and therefore
more easily spoiled.
Because of the long struggle to
improve the Arab for speed, faults
in conformation are frequently
found in thoroughbreds. Commonest
of these are small bones and
not enough heart girth. Like their
Arab ancestors, thoroughbreds exert
little effort in motion, giving a
comfortable ride. They have great
strength, and their greatest asset
?endurance?has given rise to the
expression, "A clean thoroughbred
never quits."
Caribs, Vanishing Race
A vanishing race are the Caribs,
Indians who made things hot for Columbus
when he discovered America.
Only a few hundred of them,
living on the island of Dominica, are
left today, scientists report. Dwarfish
but fierce fighters, observes a
writer in the Washington Post, Caribs
came from Brazil's Amazon
wilds to conquer what is now Venezuela,
the Guianas, Central America,
and the West Indies. Good seamen,
they used canoes with sails. In
reporting battles with these Indians,
Columbus called them "Caribal,"
later corrupted into "cannibal,"
which the Caribs were. The same
people supplied a name for the Caribbean
sea. Thoy were finally subdued
by Britain and French troops,
who sent them Into exile. Only a
few caribs managed to get back to
Dominica later.
Hardest Period in Life of Dwarfs
The hardest period in the life of
dwarfs comes with the first realization
that they will never grow more.
It comes when they are nearing the
teens and when they find themselves
outdistanced by their companions,
cut off from games and sports of
their larger companions, and
obliged to seek their own mediums
of entertainment. The fact is that
they turn to their own methods of
entertainment and develop along acrobatic,
musical or studious lines
'Monkey Wrench Corner'
Nearly every large seaport in the
world has a "Monkey Wrench corner,"
a street intersection near the
docks where sailors congregate to
exchange news aad stories. The
spot is so named, says Collier's
Weekly, because it is usually crowded
with unemployed seamen, or
"monkeys," who wait there to borrow
money from, or put the
"wrench" on, those in better circumstances.
Rules Giant 20
Times Its "Size
Immentc Colonial Empire
Of France Governed on
Small-Town Set-up.
WASHINGTON. I). C?The recent
attempted general strike in France
calls attention to the complex social
and economic set-up that ordinarily
runs the affairs of "flftymillion
Frenchmen" and their huge
colonial empire.
"A* an individual European state,
France is a compact geographic unit
organized on the 'home town economic
model," says the -National
Geographic society.
"Few French cities have a population
of half a'million. Small scale
and varied industries are widespread
over the lund, some 90 per
cent of all French factories hiring
less than 100 workers each. National
activities, almost equally divided
between farming and business enterprises,
are largely in the hands
of petty property owners.
ltules Territorial Giant.
"Yet this nation of prpverbinl
'stay-at-homes,' with a reputation
for caution, thrift, and domesticskills,
is nevertheless the head a:id
brains of a territorial giant whose
members make up a foreign domain
second only to that of Grea'
Britain. Like the British empire,
although little more than one-third
the area of that colossus, French
colonists and dependencies are scattered
about the world's continents
and most of its seas.
"France itself occupies an area of
something more than 200,000 square
miles. It is the third largest nation
in Europe; while abroad, the tricolor
flies over an empire more than
20 times the size of the mother
country, including an estimated <>5,000,000
people of many races, creeds
and cultures.
"To France?handicapped at home
by scarcity of coal and other raw
materials?these far flung possessions
present a tremendous reservoir
of still-untapped economic
wealth.
"The roll call of French possessions,
dependencies and mandates
around the globe reads like the
index to a gazeteer. In north, central
and west Africa are Algeria,
Morocco, Tunisia, the French Congo
(or French Equatorial Africa), Senegal,
French Guinea, the Ivory
Coast, Dahomey, French Sudan,
Mauritania, Niger, and Dakar?together
with French Somaliland, a
small patch of land on the east
coast, and the major portions of former
German colonies of Togoland
and Cameroun, under the bulge of
the Great west African shoulder.
"Under mapdate, wjth promise of
early self rule, are Syria and Lebanon
in the Near East. In northern
South America is rich, sultry
French Guiana, with its penal settlement
'Devil's Island.'
Then There's Madagascar.
"Such oriental tongue twisters as
Pondichery, Karikal, Chtmderna^or,
Mahe, and Yanaon are French
specks on the map of India; while
Cochin-China, Annam, Cambodia,
Tonking, and Laos making up
French Indo-China, plus Kwangchowan,
leased from China, are other
Asiatic possessions. ^
"To all these far-flung continental
regions must also be added a
French island empire that dots ojen
water from Corsica in the Mediterranean
and New Caledonia and
New Hebrides in the south Pacific,
to Miquelon and St. Pierre in the
North Atlantic, and Martinique and
Guadeloupe in the Caribbean.
"Madagascar, off the coast of
southeast Africa, is something more
than an ocean 'dot' of French territory.
Bigger than France itself, and
world's fourth largest island, it cov
ers an area of some 240,000 squarr
miles, with more than three million
inhabitants.
"In the French colonial empire
are found most of the earth's prod
ucts needed to carry on modern industry
or warfare. During the World
war her colonics contributed to
France an estimated half million
soldiers and workers, together v^th
millions of tons of supplies.
"Today, France seeks one answer
to pressing economic problems Jat
home in new and intensified drives
to tap the resources of her foreign
domain. The French Colonial office,
according to news accounts, is now
carrying out plans to build up
trade, improve local politics, provide
for the empire's defense, and in
general develop its vast potential
wealth in materials and markets."
NEW WHISKY LAWS
WILL GO INTO EFFECT
Columbia. June 30.?A new trade
code for tho whisky business In South
Carolina, embodying stringent and
far-reaching regulations, will go into
effect tomorrow, It was announced today
by VV. G. Query, chairman of the
state tax commission.
Thirty new regulations have been
adopted by the commission, acting under
a recent act of the general assembly.
Copies of the regulations have
been mailed to all dealers.
The new code puts a rigid ban on
the retail sale of liquor on credit and
a wholesaler may extend credit to a
retail dealer for only fifteen days.
Wholesalers are required to report
dealers delinquent in their accounts,
and "the tax commission will at frequent
intervals mall to all wholesalers
a list containing the names and addresses
of all delinquent retail dealers,
and forbidding further sales by
any wholesalers to the delinquents."
"The granting of credit by a re^
tail dealer is strictly forbidden," the
regulation said, "as is the giving of
any free goods, samples, rebate, gratuity
or other things of value as a
trade inducement, or for any reason
whatever" it provided, however, 'that
a retailer may give a discount of 10
per cent to the purchaser of a full
case or more."
Other regulations are designed to
eliminate price-cutting, both wholesale
and retail.
Liquor salesmen must hold permits
from the tax commission before calling
"upon a retail dealer for the purpose
of soliciting, taking orders for,
or selling alcoholic liquors."
No brand of liquor may be sold in
the state unless it has been "approved
by and registered with the tax commission."
Prices must be displayed in the retail
stores and curb delivery is forbidden.
Purchase by one retailer
from another for resale is banned.
"The sale of alcoholic liquors by
a retail dealer to a person whom he
knows or has reason to believe is buying
for the purpose of resale is forbidden.
Where a sale amounts to
more than five gallons, and the buyer
it shown to have resold any part thereof,
the fact that the sale exceeded
five gallons shall be prima facie evidence
that the retail dealer knew or
had reason to believe that the purchase
was made for the purpose of
resale.
r No signs will be permitted on liquor
stores, and advertising displays
other than packages and bottles themselves
will not be permitted in win|
dows.
The North Pole is moving southward
at a rate of about six inches a
year.
JULY LIVESTOCK NOTES
/
In midsummer livestock need careful
attention, says County Agent W.
C. McCarley, who mikes these timely
suggestions for July:
Animal Husbandry: Keep hogs grazing
on green forage. Arrange to turn
hogs on corn when it is in the g'azed
stage. Reserve some permanent pasture
to be grazed by beef cattle In
late fall and early winter. Feed the
workstock three times a day. Change
pastures for livestock if possible. Provide
shade and fresh water for all
classes of livestock. Observe the livestock
for screw worm Infestation and
give treatment, if necessary.
Dairying: Mow pastures frequently.
Destroy breeding places for flies, and
use skimmilk-formaldehyde poison (3
gallons of skimmllk, 1 pint of 40 per
cent formalin, 1 pound of sugar) in
shallow pans to kill flies. As milk
production falls ofT, supplement pasture
with balanced grain mixture.
Feed up to two pounds of grain daily
to growing stock to maintain normal
growth. Keep milks or cream sold for
manufacturing purposes in barrel or
tub of cold well or spring water. If
retail milk producer with surplus at
this season, dry off all low producing
cows that are bred for fall freshening.
Poultry: Keep mash before laying
hens; it helps to keep their bodies
cool and stimulates egg production.
Reduce feed cost by culling non-lavers
and not by reducing feed. Keep
a grain feed before the pullets and
don't start feeding a laying mash until
the birds are at least Ave monthB
old. If troubled with roup or chicken
pox in past years, vaccinate pullets
when two to four months old.
