PEAS FoR FODDER.

Peas are always sown with oats when
they are intended for fodder. The Ca.
madam peas are preferred, as the seed is
not injured by the weevil, and there is
no loss by this damage. Weevil-eaten
peas will not germinate when the germ
is injured, as is generally the case, aud if
not, the substance of the pea being
psrtly destroyed, the strength of the
young plant is lessened for the want of
nutriment that is furnished to it by the
seed. One and one-half bushels of the
peas and two bushels of the oats are
sown. The strongest kind of oats are
chosen, as they hold up the peas better
than the weaker kind. It is advisable
to cover the seed with cultivator or
harrow, as three inches of covering is
necessary. New York Times.

PETITION BY TEMPERANCE WOMEN.

The petition of the Worlds Woman's
Christian Temperance Union. for the pro.
lection of the home, addressed to the Gov
ernments of the world, reads as follows:
Honored Rulers Representatives and
Brothers-We, your petitioners, although
belonging to the physically weaker sex, are
strong of heart to love our homes, our
native land and the worlds family of
nations. We know that clear brains and
pure hearts make honest lives and happy
homes, and that by these the nations
prosper, and the time is brought nearer
when the world shall be at peace. We know
that indulgence in alcohol and opium and
in other vices which disgrace our social life
makes misery for all the world, and most of
all for us and for our children. We know
that stimulants and opiates are sold under
legal guarantees which make the Govern
ments partners in the traffic by accepting as
revenue a portion of the profits, and we
know with shame that they are often forced
by treaty upon populations either ignorant
or unwilling. We know that the law might
do much, now left undone, to raise the
moral tone of society and render vice diff
cult. We have no power to prevent these
great iniquities beneath which the whole
world aroans but you have power to redeem
the honor of the nations from an indefen-
sible completely. We Wetherefore come to you
with the united voices of representative
women of every land, beseeching you to
raise the standard of the law to that of
guards and sanctions of the State from the
drink traffic and the opium trade, and to
protect our homes by the total prohibition
OF these curses of civilization throughout all
the territory over which your Government
extends.

THE OCCASIONAL GLASS,

1t is difficult to convince many otherwise
excellent people that there is any harm in
taking an occasional glass of wine or other
intoxicating beverage at the table or else
where. They never drink to excess, It is
said, and why should they deprive themselves
of harmless indulgence because other men
are too weak to control their appetites. This
is the usual argument but in the present
situation OF things at least it is a cruel sell
fish, unmanly and unchristian argument.

my brothers keeperf' st. Paul answered
this most effectively when he said, ''If meat
make my brother to offend, / will eat no
flesh while the world standeth."
There is true manliness in this, the true

apostll might have added, "even so harmless
and so important an article of food as meat,

my life. There are plenty of other kinds of
food good and wholesome, to which l may

FROM FATHER 70 SON.

A few months ago was present In DR.,
Garnier's consulting room watching the
prisoners from the depot filing past We
were informed that child had been brought
by its parents to be examined. These peo-
pie were shown in; they belonged to the re-
spectacle working class, and were quiet and
well hammered, The man was the driver of
dray belonging to one of the railway sta
tons, and had all the appearance of a stall
wart working man. The boy was scarcely
six years old; he had an intelligent, rather
pretty face, and was neatly dressed.
'See here, Nj. ie Docteur," said the father,
1--WE have brought you our boy; he alarms
us. He is no fool; he begins to read; they
are satisfied with him at his school, but we
cannot help thinking he must be insane, for
he wants to murder his little brother, child
of two years old. The other day he nearly
succeeded in doing so. Iarrived just in time
to snatch my razor from his hands,
The boy stood listening with indifference
and without hanging his head. The doctor
drew the child kindly toward him and in
quired:
rs it true that you wish to hurt your lit
With perfect composure the little one re-
piled:
~ will kill him; yes yes, will kill him p
The doctor glanced at the father and asked
in a low voice:
DO you drinkY
The wife exclaimed Indignantly:
HE, sir! Why, he never enters a public
house. and has never come home drunk"
They were quite sincere. Nevertheless the
doctor said:
'Stretch out your arm.n
The man obeyed; his hand trembled. Had
these people told lies. then, in stating that
the man had never come home the worse for
drink? No; but all through the day, when
ever he had called to leave a package the
people OF the house had given him something
to drink for his trouble. He had become a
orunkard without knowing it, aud the poi
son that had entered his blood was at this
moment filling the head Of his little child
with the dreams Of an assassin. Fortnight

The Forthcoming "Life'' of Whittier.


Edward Box writes in the Boston
Journal:
1.-THE gentle Quaker's well-known
modesty always led him to believe that
the public would never call for any ac-
count of his life after he had passed on.
But the death of Longfellow brought to
his mind the wisdom of leaving anthem
friend for a possible biography. And so
he chose s. T. Packard of Portland. Mr..
Pickard was not related to Whittier, as
has been enormously stated. A friend
ship of many years standing existed be-
tween the men, and the fact that Mr..
Packard is nephew of Whittier's first
teacher, Joshua Coffin, who introduced
the poet to Burns, and to whom his
poem, ITO My Old Schoolmaster, is ad-
dressed, may have something to do with
Whittier's fondness for the talented
Portland editor. And, from time to
time, during the last 10 years the poet
has placed in Mr. Pickard's hands mate
rial for his biography, and in his will, as
is known, the poet made Mr.. Pickard
his literary executor, intrusting to his
care all his papers, manuscripts and let
tiers. With the material thus placed in
Mr.. Pickard's care by the poet himself,
and the mass of material at Danvers,
Amesbury and Newburyport, the poets
executor has ample facilities for the COM
pilation of most satisfactory biography.
Upon this work Mr.. Packard win soon
begin, and he will probably be assisted
in his labors by Gertrude Cortland, the
dearest of Whittier's cousins.

CITY OF DEERiNG.
Golden Wedding of Mr.. and Mrs. Warren
Sparrow.

Yesterday was the fiftieth anniversary
of the marriage of Mr.. and Mrs. Warren
Sparrow; and last evening from to s
o'clock their home on Arlington street,
Woodfords, was the scene of a tea given
in honor of the event. There was large
attendance of friends from Deering and
Portland who came to tender sincere and
heartfelt congratulations upon the happy
completion of half century of married
life.
Besides the immediate family there
were present, of relatives, Mr. and Mrs.
Charles F. Goodridge of Cambridge,
Mass, and Mrs. Charles Lamson, a
daughter, from Worcester, Mass. Mr..
and Mrs. Sparrow were assisted in receiv-
ing by Mrs. Lamson and Miss Sparrow.
The ladies at the tea table were Mrs.
Charles F. Goodridge, Mrs. Charles Foss
and Miss Elizabeth Kinds, assisted by
Miss Henrietta Dana, Miss May Hobbs
and Miss Margie Elwell.
Many old friends were among the call
ers last evening; for Mr.. and Mrs. FSpar-
row came to Portland in 1916, and have
resided here and at Woodfords since.
Mr.. Sparrow was born in Massachusetts
and Mrs. Sparrow in Vermont, but they
became acquainted in Missouri, being
married at St. Mary's in that state in
1912. Mr.. Sparrow is one of the Oldest
and best known business men of Port
land. He established his residence at
Woodfords years ago, before Deering
ever thought of being a city, and has
always been an active promoter Of
measures for the improvement of Wood
fords as place of residence for Port
land business men. MI. Sparrow sub
scribed for the PRESS when it was estab-
lished, more than thirty years ago, and
has been a constant reader ever since.

Chairman Beane's Plan Not New.

%A@sAAA ASSs1AA0
TO the Editor Of the Press:
think that in your editorial in this
mornings Press in relation to the great
plan of the secretary of the Democratic
State Committee for capturing the elect
oral vote Of Maine you gave too much
credit to M, Fred Emery Beane, and IN
Intentionally did injustice to another.
Mr.. Beane's method is simply copy of
a scheu4e which was thought out and set
in oIeration by certain Democratic
candidate for governor some 20 years
ago. This gentleman sent letters to
democrats all over the state telling them
in substance that as it was an ssoff year,
it would be perfectly easy to catch the
Republicans mapping and elect him gov
ernor, and thus greatly advance the
standard of reform. Then he went on
to give instructions as to the way of get
ting out the full Democratic vote. All
the preliminary work, by the way, was
to be under cover of the night In the
day time the Democratic organizers were
to keep quiet and look unconcerned.
When election day came around the
leopuDliCetDS udu dDOub GliS USUAL LAdJOAt-
ty, and SO far the scheme proved a fail
ure. But the enterprsing candidate had
not forgotten to have an advertisement
of his business, including cut of the
article which he manufactured, printed
at the head of his letters, so all was not
lost. Perhaps the circulars which Secre-
tary Beane is sending out may have some
value for advertising purposes. All the
same he should not have glory that does
not belong to him.
