CIRCULATION B e R Xt ] 920 RAVAGES OF THE STORM. Appalling are the early reports which come from the flooded districts in the state of Ohio. The Omaha sit- uatfon seems only to have been a forerunner of different but worse conditions resuitant from the storms which have visited the middle west in the past week. Dayton and the other citles of Ohio were suffering badly enough from the rivers which over- flowed their banks, but with bursting reservoir dams and fires added there- to, the terrifving conditions were un- surpassed in history of that vicinity. The widespread sympathy of the coun- try is centered there today and every means is being taken to render what- ever aid possible for the homeless and foodless refugees. A hearty cooper- ation is being manifested by neigh- boring cities in this regard and gov- ernment aid is available if it is re- quired. Much sufferinz always follows In the wake of the tornado, floods or fires and 1t is against this that efforts must be directed. The middle west will have reason to believe that disasters do not come singly and those who have gone through the ravages know how mercilessly they operate. Tt will be some time before the effects of the storm will be fuily known and it will be a long time before the results of it can be removed, for not only are there many Mmfured but a vast amount of destruetion has been it will require money and time to re- place. Tnannounced and unwelcomed e storm king has left his mark and shown his power. 1901, average 1005, average OPEN SEASON FOR DEER. From all indications an open season for deer will be advocated in this state in the report of the fish and game commission concerning the bill before the legislature. The fact that there Wwas no opposition to it indicates the attitude throughout the state where damage has been caused to crops and towns have been called upon to ad- just the loss which farmers have suf- fered. TUnder the existing law the deer are protected until 1917 but the in- crease has been so great that an open season Is necessary to place a check thereon. With deer now feeding in the barnyards with cattle four years hence unless something is done they will overrun the state. The committee will unquestionably restrict the open season to a week. Longer would be inadvisable for the elimination of all the deer in the state| ecould be quickly accomplished if a suf- ficient season was permitted. In the other states the season varies from a week to three months, a the location and the conditions nectient wanted the deer and still likes to see them bounding about the fields, but it -is the havee which: they cause in getting their living which creates the feeling against them., The safety of the people must be guarded in the use of the rifie if it is allowed for with the deer in the habit of feeding near houses the danger froem random shots is great. TARIFF AND INCOME TAX. Not a little of the president’s time is being occupied by the considera- tion of the income tax, a matter which must be regulated to a marked degree by the aetion which congress takes upon the ifariff reduction. They go together, for whatever the tariff fails to produce in the way of revenue the income tex must be made to do, and It is the adjustment of this situation which is bound to furnish some in- teresting battling on the part of the democrats, This furnishes a big prob- lem, for upon the fixing and levying of the income tax depends the success of the democratie action with the tariff. From present indications considerable over $106,000,060 will have to be raised through the tax and it may have to 0 as high as half gs much again. Where to draw the line and fix the rate is perplexing the party leaders. At first it was thought it would apply to only those whese income was $5,000 or over, but it has since been main- teined that u leyy will have to be made upon incemes of $2,800 and over, This Course mesans a Sireng opposition once which is geing te fight and a of & wide difterence of opinion amens ceongressmen as lo where the limit should be fixed and all this is gving te have its effect upon thie slashing of the tawiff. The faet that free suger alemse would mesn the raising of sixéy millions has been one of the factors in bringing about a change of opinion on that schednie aad it is eppareni for their owan weifare that demeserais must adept seasible instead of radical aetiom im dealing with beth the arill and the imcome — of a development caused and this| ccording to | Con- 1 —_—— Entered at the Postoffice at Norwiea, i 1 Innre ought to be a pleasant day for It will be welcome news to Europe when the conferenee for the settle- ment of the Balkdn war is opened and steps are under way by the powers for the adjustment ef the tangled sit- uation. With the self injectien of Aus- tria inte the affairs of the allies and the conditions which are existing throyghout - the besieged territory, which must ultimately fall from the contrel of the Turkish ferces, the need of an early calling together of the dip- lomats representing the big nations of Burope for thé consideration of the terms of peace is apparent. There aré some demands which beth wili insist upon or resist with tenacity and there | is no promise that the conference when it is assembled will be characterized by brevity. The loss of the greatest part of its European territory is conceded by Turkey, though it cannot reconcile it- self to parting with Adrianople, or agree to pay a large war indemnity to the guccessful allies. Bulgaria will urge with all its power the ceding of | Adrianople, with the other térritory, if it does not capture it before the con- ference while there are the demands of Servia and Montenegro which must be taken care of. Greece has profited well by its conquest and Albania will be given self government. Payment of the war claims will be a demand upon which all the allies will insist. They need it for the meeting of their heavy expense ,while Turkey likewise needs all the money it can save for its own uses. Negotiations -cannot be started too soon for tHe best interests of all concerneq in Europe, especially since the disposition of Austria has been to add fuel to the fire. NEW YORK’'S REPUTATION. That New York sheuld want to es- cape from the noteriety and reputatien which it has been getting as the result of the disclosures and scandals in the | police circles, is commendable. New York cannot accomplish it, however, by irying to cover up the fact that such conditions exist. If they exist, as it has been proven that thev do the best thing that can be done is to make public the fact that concerted action is being taken to eradicate them, and let it be known that reform instead of rottenness is desired. Concerning the effortis to cover up the scandal as uncovered and hold up the city as an example, the New York Tribune says. “It reminds us of a famous ‘attempt to sweep back the sea. Or, to take a more modern par- allel, it is as effectual as Mayor Gay- nor’s plan fo crush District Attorney ‘Whitman by calling him an ‘enemy.” The idea of calling everyvone who in- sists upon cleaning up the city a de- famer is not new.” TFollowing refer- ence to the erection of the stitue of Purity in the city it sarcastically con- cludes that: “If the town would only come around to the ‘statue .of Purity’| point of view it would make Waldo its | permanent police commissioner. He is the great defender of the city's fair fame. Out of 285 charges made against policemen Wuring his administration 270 were investigated by the officers against whorm the charges were made. Trust the ‘system’ to keep the rep- utation of the city spotless!” New York can best set itself right! by giving publicity to the fact that it intends to clean up and lend support to the work which District Attorney Whitman has been so successfully accomplishing. Tt has covered up con- ditions too long already. EDITORIAL NOTES. Simplified spelling may shorten the| words, but it offers no relief from | the man with the long tale of woe.

EASTER BONNETS Lucy Lane was a sort of utility gir! at Mme. Lorimer’'s establishment. Most of her time was spent in the back room, ripping trimmings from hats that needed altering, or changing the length of garments. Lucy did not often get a chance to wait on customers. Her face was toa thin and colorless to be pretty, and she wore unlovely, serviceable dress- es; madame liked to have evervthing in her establishment exquisitely sweet and attractive. But Lucy did not compiain. She was only too thankful for the situa- tion as it stood, and wondered why madame kept her at all. She was too modest to realize the value of her painstaking service. She was thankful, too, for her mis- erable little hall bedroom, because shc had always been able to keep her room to herself. But even with this fund of “thank- fulness” at her command, Lucy would have had a hard time if it had no. been for her dreams. ‘When the back room or the hail bedroom became insufferably hot and bLreathless, she dreamed about the green grass, the waving trees, the re- | freshing breezes of her beloved coun- try where she had epent the early vears of her life. When the rumble of drays and the crash of cars made her head throb, she dreamed of the drowsy afternoons filed with the droning of bees and | crickets, and the croaking of frogs at twilight. 3 ‘When her fingers were blue with cold, she dreamed of the cracking of fragrant wood fires and the warmth of vellow lamplight. > Then, quite unexpectedly, one day = pew impetus was added to them. She was standing near the front doo: waliting for a dress that needed alter- ing when a man entered and looked about uncertainly. The face above his neat, white collar wad ruddy from sun and wind, with a white band across the forehead wher» his hat gave protection. Everything about him - from his fine, steady eves tc his easy, plain suit of gray wonl spoke to Lucy of the country, and when their eves met she smiled un- consciously, as upon a friend “Can vou wait on me?” inquired the man, stepning forward. “One of the other giris will know more about things,” suggested Lucy, modestly. “But I prefer vou,” he smiled. “You see, I'm not just sure what I do want and I know you will not laugh at me. It may seem ridiculous, but do you know it is very disconcerting to be laughed at under such circumstances “T promise yvou not to laugh,” sail Luey. “Now tell me what vou wish.” ““All sortz of things for a bhaby a yvear old.

T came to yeu again becausc you did so well by me hefore—the little fellow has loeked as fine as a king all winter.” Lucy flushed with pleasure and ex- citement while she picked out gensible little rompers and gingham frocks and stout stockings, followed by the dainty white frocks and frilly: petticoats dear to every child’s heart. “You had better tell me your name,” suggested the man, as he prepared to leave. “I'm liable to have to come again, and I'd like to know Whom tc ask for. My name is Richard Fall- ner.” “I used to know of Falkners when [ ed in the country,” said Luecy, giv- ing her name. "I suspect, then,” said Falkner, “you must belong to the Wayland Corner Lanes?” And they proceeded to get very well acquainted, indeed. Occasionally through the winter Falkner came for something for the two children. Occasiona an old reighbor of Lucy’s found the way ia, following his directions. Nong of this escaped the eagle of Mme.

A Maine Solu Mr, Bditor. Ameng the solutions to “cost and seliing price problem” that have been published in the columns of the Bulletin during the past few weeks I have not seen one that appeared to me to be the correct solution. My method of reckoning percentage of profit on goeds sold is to recken thae percentage on cost price, and my method of Teckoning percentage of amount of business done (gross re- ceipts); now if we buy an article for $1.00 and want to make ten per cent. profit on it, we must sell it for $1.19, and them if we want to recover 22 per cent. of expense in handling the article we must sell it at a price from which we can deduct twenty-lwo per cent, and have $1.10 left; $1.10 is sev- enty-eight per cent. of the selling price them, as we find by subtracting 22 per cent. from 100 per cent.; $1,10 heing 78 per cent. of the selling price we divide $1.10 by 78, which gives one per cent. and muitiply that amount by 108, which gives us the full selling vice and according (o my figures it 5 $1.41 and a very smail fracton. ¢, L, LAMPHBERE, Brunswick, Maiae. That Problem Again. Mr. Bditer: Bxcept for the emiight- enment of A. M. B. the enly one whe has s@pwr 2 desire to effer a rule for fi the retafi preiee of a dollar's worth, in order te gaim a given prefit over expenses, we weouid net treubie vou again. Mr. A. M. B is manifest- 1y in erves, although thers is me flaw . in his algebra. The theory he proceeds on does not agree with his mathe- matics. For instance, he says, “Al most anyone will agree with me that to make a profit on an article of 10 to get $1.10 for every dol- ar pald out.” Very well, for the sake of argument Mr. Troland will agree that adding ten cents to a one dollar purchase will give $1.10 as the retail price covering the 10 per cent. profit. Then A. M. B. must surely, on the same principle, agree that adding 22 cents to the dollar wiil also cover the 22 per cent. for expenses. us $1.00 plus 10 cents, plus equals $1.32, while A. M. it out to be $1.41 1-39. But neither solution is correct. Adding 10 cents to a dollar purchase does not give 10 per cent. profit. A. M. B. shows this in his preof test. He says deduct 22 per cent. from his answer, $1.41, and vou get the $1.10. Very weil, then deduct ten per cent. from this $1.10 and yeu get just 99 cents for the or- iginal purchase, which proves the an- swer is wrong, It should be obvious to all that all expense and ull \profit must be drawn from the money coming in, not that geing eut, JOIIN Mareh 24, er eent. 22 cents, B. figures TROLAND, Norwich, 1913, Deserved the Jeob, “1 was a demeerat when they hunted them with degs,” is the remark that landed one of the pest jebs in the siate for Jake Hestetler—Kamsas City Jour- i nal.
