There has been received at the office
of the adjutant general sample of
the new service hat which has been
which will later be issued to the diff
ferent organizations of the National
Guard of the State of Maine. The hat
was sent from the quartermaSter'S de-
partment at Washington, d. c.. and is
said to be the best hat of the kind that
has yet been issued by the govern
mcnt. 1t is not dissimilar in style to
the one now in use by the Maine
troops, but is of much better quality.
and will undoubtedly prove more serv
iceabe. In color it is a dark shade Of
drab, darker than the hat now in use,
and harmonizes we'll with the olive
drab uniforms of the last issue. The
hat is ventilated at each side by Il
series of perforationS arranged in star
shape. A novelty i'm connection with
this new piece of headwear is an ar
rangement intended for keeping it on
the head of the soldier, and which
consists of a piece of cord which
passes around the rear of the crown
and then through the rim Of the hat
close to tn" crown, through reinforced
eycletS. liz tying the cord To keep the
hat on the head of the Wrurrr The cord
is not as might he expected. PASSED
under the chin, but around the back of
the head, the cord leaving the rim at
such an angle that when it is tied it
keeps the hat firmly in place. The hat
has met the approval of such officers
and men of the guard as have seen it,
and will no doubt prove Il serviceabie
piece of hpadwear

As might he expected from the thou
sands of visitors who record their
names in the register at the office of
the commissioners of inland fisheries
and game in the course of a year. the
book bears signatures of people from
all over the country, as we'll as from
Canada and the other provinces. The
most distant point from which visitors
have iourneyed to the Capitol, however
was recorded Wednesday, when two
registered from British West Africa,
the names Of the visitors being Jeffer-
son w. Ford. and Helen NJ. Farr Ford.

The automobile correspondence which
is nov being received at the office Of
the secretary of State continues to
show a healthy growth as summer ap-
proaches. and it looks as if the revenue
derived from that source for the pres
ent year would he quite respectabc
one. This correspondence includes not
only applications for the registration Of
machines and the licensing of opera
tors. but lot Of questions from pro-
spcCtive purchasers, concerning ma
chimes the road laws Of Maine. and III"
thousand and one things which can
originate in the human brain. Cum
berland county seems to be the great
center of the auto fever in Maine and
of the 1856 machines which We're regis

were owned in that county. and the
majority of that number in Portland,
There were 16 recorded from AroostoOk

TRIP OF A DRYDOCk
THRILLING EXPERIENCES OF
THE DEWEY"
Huge Steel Tank Being Towed to Phil
ippines Meets Storms and Heavy
Seas and Drifts Helpless for
Many Days.

When the voyage of the drydock
Dewey is completed and she is safe in
the harbor of Manila, the story of her
adventures across the Atlantic, through
the Mediterranean, the Suez canal. and
down through the Red sea and the In
dian ocean, will be one of the most in
teresting and thrilling ever read. That
is, if the latter part of the journey is as
exciting as has been the trip to the
Canary islands, a point reached only
after fight against wind and wave and
storm of nearly two months.
No one, not even the personnel Of the
towing fleet, anticipated the unusual
length of the voyage across the Atlantic.
Even the northeast trade wind seemed
to have come further northward than
usual at this time of the year to make
the voyage more of struggle. Trials
the towing ships and drydock have had
in plenty. Stormy days with gales and
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1906-04-25

heavy rains and rough seas; nights
when towlines parted or had to be let
go and hauled in, while the rain and
wind and darkness made the task Of
handling the large and unwieldy
hawsers arduous. Yet not one of the Of
ficers or crew of the towing feet or dry
dock doubts that they will bring the do5k
safely to her destination.
The most trying experience came
when the dock broke from her lows and
for three days drifted to the northwest,
going 10S miles out of her course. Dur
ing this time the wireless telegraph in
struments enabled them to keep track
of each other, and served to keep the
crew on the helpless huge steel trough
hopeful and cheerful. In the early part
of the trip after leaving Chesapeake bay
there had been gales that had made
progress slow. Then pleasant weather
followed and speed of five knots an
hour was made during most of the time,
record of 10 miles being made on one
day. But just when Commander Hosley
and the captains of the Brutus and
Caesar were congratulating themselves
on the favorable progress, violent
storm blew up on the night of the oath.
The towing machine of the Caesar be-
came disabled, and she was obliged to
cast off her line. The Glacier, the flag
ship of the towing f1otilla, attempted to
take her place but she steered very badly
in the heavy seas, going as she was at
scow speed, and the tow line was cast
off. This left the Brutus with heavy
task and she soon was obliged to fash
the signal: 'Hawser carried away"
Followed few miutes later by the mes
sage: Towing machine total wreck.
Wire hawser went by board and carried
away, leaving about 40 feet on drum of
towing machine"
Just how the men on board the dry
dock must have felt as they realized
that they were drifting helplessly on the
raging pillows of the Atlantic it would
be hard to- imagine. For three DAYS
there was nothing to do but listen to the
pounding of the waves and wait until
weather conditions were such that new
line could be connected up. This was
accomplished with the aid of the Po-
tomac, another of the boats of the fiotil-
la, and lifebOat from the Glacier. and
the Brutus swung to the east again with
her charge. All went well until mid
night of the following day, when the
line parted again.
Our map shows by the broken lines the
wide detour which was made in the two
drifts. One of the singular things in
connection with the experience was that
the dock when she was finally taken in
tow for the second time was only 90
miles from the point where she had first
started adrift.
One of the interesting features of the
expedition was the successful use CT
wireless telegraphy. Communication IN
this method was sustained with the
United States for distance of more
than 1,400 miles, distance seldom if
ever equaled where no extra instaIlment
was made for special trial.

Now let all these choice specimens
take notice:
We will deposit one thousand or
fifty thousand dollars to be~covered by
a like amount from them, or any one OF
them, and if there was ever one ounce
of old bread or any other ingredient
different than our selected wheat and
barley with a little salt and yeast used
in the making, of Grape-Nuts, we will
lose the money.
Our pure food factories are open at all
times to visitors, and thousands pass
through each month, inspecting every
department and every process. Our fac
tories are SO clean that one could, with
good relish, eat meal from the floors.
The work people, both men and wom-
en-, are of the highest grade in the state
of Michigan, and according to the state
labor reports, are the highest paid in
the state for similar work.
Let us tell you exactly what you will
see when you inspect the manufacture OF
Grape-Nuts. You will find tremendous
elevators containing the choicest wheat
and barley possible to buy. These
grains are carried through long convey
ers to grinding mills, and there convert
ed into -four. Then the machines make
selection of the proper quantities of this
-four in the proper proportion and these
parts are blended into a general -four
which passes over to the big dough mix
ing machines, there water, salt and a lit
tie yeast are added and the dough knead-
ed the proper length of time.
Remember that previous to the barley
having been ground it was passed
through about one hundred hours OF
soaking in water, then placed on warm
floors and slightly sprouted, developing
the diastase in the barley, which changes
the starch in the grain into a form of
sugar.
Now after we have passed It into
dough and it has been kneaded long
enough, it is moulded by machinery into
loaves about 18 inches long and or
inches in diameter. 1t is put into this
shape for convenience in second cooking.
These great loaves are sliced by ma
chinery and the slices placed on wire
trays, these trays, In turn, placed on great
steel trucks, and rolled into the second
aryovens. each perhaps 75 or 80 feet long.
There the food is subjecte1 to long low
heat and the starch which has not been
heretofore transformed Is turned into a
form Of sugar generally known as Post
Sugar. It can be seen glistening on the
granules Of Grape-Nuts II held toward
the light, and this sugar is not poured
over or put on the food as these prevarf-
Gators ignorantly assert. On the con-
trary the sugar exudes from the interior
of each little granule during the process
Of manufacture, and reminds one OF the
little white particles of sugar that come
out on the end Of a hickory log after
it has been sawed of and allowed to
stand for a length Of time.
This Post Sugar is the most digestible
food known for human use. It Is so per-
fectin its adaptability that mothers with
very young infants will pour little
warm milk over two or three spoonfuls
of Grape Nuts. thus washing thesugaron

Irrigation a Necessity.

Under the direction of Milton Whit
ney, chief of the bureau OF soils of the
United States department of agricui-
ture, survey of the southwestern
Kansas region has been made by
James L. Burgess and George N. Cof-
fey. The object was to ascertain to
what extent the southwestern counties
of the state are dependent upon irri-
CATION for crops. The report says that
the western part of Kansas can pro-
perly be called a part of semi-arid
region and that the years of humidity
are always followed by arid years in
which the farmers who do not have
irrigation cannot pay expenses The
government experts are of the opin-
ion that irrigation is absolutely neces-
sary to the reliable production Of
crops in the region about Garden
City.
