The following letter relative to the
formation of an association for the
purpose Of improving the crops of the
State is being sent out by DR.. Leon S.
Merrill of Scion, State dairy instruc-
tor:
My dear Sr:-The plan proposed by
the department of agriculture by
which the work of improving the
crops of the state through the selec-
ton. breeding and dissemination Of
superior strains Of seeds. is being re-
ceived with general favor.
1t is a line of work that should have
been undertaken before. 1t has now
been authorized by the legislature and
the commissioner of agriculture has
been directed to undertake it. 1t will
receive hearty cooperative assistance
from the Maine Agricultural Expert
ment Station and Agricultural College.
| believe the farmers appreciate its
tural interests and that many are now
ready to take hold and push the work
faithfully and perisistently.
1t is thought best to adopt plan
similar to that followed by Wisconsin
and other states where it has been
carried on so successfully, hence an
association will be organized with ne
cessary bylaws and officers. The ex-
pense of membership will be merely
nominal The dues in the Wisconsin
association are only 80 cents a year.
The work for the first year would
certainly include, corn, potatoes and
oats.
1t has been decided to hold the
meeting for organizing the above as
sociation in the city of Waterville, the
18th of the present month. The
meeting will be held in the city gov
eminent rooms in City hall at 10
o'clock in the forenoon. This will al
low ample time for anyone arriving
on the morning trains from the differ
ent parts of the State to reach the
hall in season for the opening of the
meeting If you approve the work
and would become d member of the
association we would be pleased
If YOU should find when the time az
rives that it is impossible for you to
attend the meeting for organization.
shall we record you as one of the
charter members and forward copy
of the proceedings of the meeting? An
early reply stating your desires in the
matter and offering any suggestions
which may occur to you will be ap-
preciated
Respectfully yours.

a little Diapepsin occasionally. This
powerful digestive and antacid, though
as harmless and pleasant as candy,
will digest and prepare for assimila-

eat.

sour risings, Belchjng, Gas on Stom-
ach, Heartburn, Headaches from stom-
ach, Nausea, Bad Breath, Water Brash
or a feeling like you had swallowed
lump of lead, or other disagreeable
from any stomach disorder you can
get relief within five minutes.
If you will get from your phaf-
macist a 50-cent case of Pape's
Diapepsin you could always go to the
table with a hearty appetite, and your
meals would taste good. because you
would know there would be no lndi-
gestion or Sleepless nights or Head
ache or Stomach misery all the next
day; and, besides, you would not
need Iaxatives or liver pills to keer
your stomach and bowels clean and
fresh.
Papc's Diapepsin can be obtained
from your druggist, and contains
more than sufficient to thoroughly
cure the worst case of Indigestion or
Dyspepsia There is nothing better
for Gas on the Stomach or sour odors
from the stomach or to cure d
Stomach Headache.
You couldn't keep a handler or
more useful article in the house.

USING ONLY OIL AS FUEL

Americas greatest battleship, the
"Dreadnaught" Delaware, is using oil
for fuel exclusively. This fact has not
been generally known, despite the fact
that the big fighting machine has been
in commission since April 1st and has
been lying at the navy yard at Norfolk
ever since. Oil was used for fuel when
the big ship was given her trial trip and
it worked successfully in every particu-
lar. tt has worked successfully ever
since. The Delaware is carrying coal
merely to assure the vessel of means
of generating steam should the tests
being made by oil fail to come up to ex-
pectations. It is confidently believed,
however, that with the success already
achieved with the greatest of American
war ships now in commission, it is merely
a question of time before all ships Of the
navy will be using oil.
The sailors composing the crew of the
Delaware are delighted with the success
of oil as fuel. The Delaware is the first
ship of the American navy to ''oil Ship"
an operation vastly more cleanly and
easy of accomplishment than the bugaboo
of the sailor known as "coaling ships"
which means from four to ten hours of
hard, dirty work. It is said that il only
requires from one to two hours to "oil
ship" the time required depending en-
tirely on the quantity to be taken on
board.

TO TEACH WOMEN

NEWARK, June 24th.-Trustees of Della.
ware College held their annual meeting
this morning and reelected the old off.
GERS, as follows: President, Charles B.
Lore; yice-president, Manlove Hayes
secretary and treasurer, Charles B. Evans.
Thomas L. sturgis was elected professor
of mechanical and electrical engineering
TO fill the vacancy caused by the death of
Professor L. A. Freudenberger.
G. W. Wade a graduate of Oxford Uni
versity, England, which he attended un-
der Rhodes scholarship, was elected as
sistant professor of English.
DR.. Harry Hayward, director of the
Agricultural Experiment Station and
chief of the College farm, made q recon-
mendation to the trustees that school Of
domestic science for women be established,
in connection with the farm. This was
referred to the legislative committee. Be-
fore such q school could be established
it would require an appropriation Of the
Legislature to provide the building and
also legislative sanction for instruction of
women. The idea of Professor Hayward
is for the faculty of the college to act as
instructors in most of the branches at the
school for domestic science.
The trustees voted degrees TO the mem.
bers of the graduating classes, whose
names already have been printed.

MUST LEAVE BABIES HOME

It is exceedingly distressing to read oi
the attitude which certain young mothers
of Wellesley College have assumed.
These graduates, who so far forget their
obligations to uplift the world as to marry,
have actually dared to return to their class
reunions, bringing their offspring with
them. Naturally, the institution is ting
ling with Indignation, as witness these
hot words in the college paper.
Since We must keep Tree Day closed to
the public for the enjoyment OF the
alumnae, should they be allowed to bring
their obstreperous infants to distract their
attention, and mar the pleasure of the
undergraduate? If it is utterly impossi-
BILE for these young children to be left at
home we would suggest that one of the
society houses be turned into day
nursery, where fond mothers can leave
their offspring in charge of an attendant,
or, ifthey prefer, remain to compare Jack
and Ruth OF. to discuss the latest fad in
Infants food or cIothing."
This indictment is obviously complete
and unanswerahle. Not only do the OBJ
streperous infants annoy the alumnae by
their yimpering, but they so distract the
attention of mothers as to cast a gloom
over the whole proceedings. Why such
a thoroughly bad business must be haunt-
ed in the face of chaste college is indeed
hard to comprehend.
The truth is, we submit that there
should be astrict law preventing silly girls
from going to college.

COURAGE

IT'S easy enough to sing, my dear,
Through pleasant morn In June,
Easy TO join with the warbling birds,
In singing blythesome tune;
But different far to lift your voice,
When the rain beat time to our weary
hearts,
And all that is sweet is dead;
For the hero is he who sings his song
When the skies are drear, and the world
goes wrong.
IT'S easy TO speak word of cheer,
When hopes of our own are bright,
Easy TO bid one forget his grief,
And bid him be strong in life's fight;
Bot different far to cheer our friends,
When hearts of our own despair,
When brains are throbbing beneath the
load,
OF burdens too hard to bear;
For the hero is he who gives his cheer,
When grief is surging and days are
drear.
'Tis easy enough to smile, my dear,
When others are smiling to.
Easy TO laugh when others laugh,
Comes echoing back to you;
But different far when those you love,
Return your emile with fTown,
And different far to rise again
When you are buffeted down,
And the hero is be who smiles his smile
When grief is surging the live lone
while.

TEACH THE GIRLS

One of the best habits young girl can
form is that Of keeping an accurate ac-
count of her own personal expenses, and
the smaller the items the more important
to keep account of them. Few people
realize how money runs away in little
expenditures of half dimes, dimes and
quarters. Even the Insignificant penny
has way Of counting up that surprises
one. Car fares, soda water, ice cream,
candy-and the money is gone 1t is
only when one puts down the small item
in plain black and white that one realizes
the importance of looking after the little
outlays. If girls were taught to keep an
account of every penny they spend, urges
the Christian at Work, they would be
better prepared to expend their money
iudiciously when they become wives,
housekeepers, and providers for families.
Give the girlsa a regular allowance, and
then require strict account to be kept of
the way in which it is spent-and in q
few years we will hear less about thriftless
and extrayagant women.

Most of US would welcome q surgical

would cease from troubling.
1t Is not question of vanity, tight
shoes, or even excreacences. Our feet
may be free from bIemisb, our shoes old

pride, yet do they keep up perpetual
reminder of their presence.

stop wearing them for a time. The effort
to keep them on may cause half the
trouble. French heels must also be dis.

One cannot be too particular in bathing
the feet when hot weather is at hand.
This is no less necessary for cleanliness in
days OF dust and openwork stockings than
for ease from aching.
The woman who puts her feet into cold
water night and morning for ten minutss,
is not the woman who groans 'my feet

If the cold water is TOO severe. try hot

Bathing them in alcohol will give relief,
or in solution of vinegar and water.
When your feet ache until you cannot

That horried ache can often be helped
by rubbing the feet with half cut lemon,
This is also good to tie on q sore corn,
Repeat for several nights and the trouble
can generally be removed.
If you have bad corns and bunions, or
more especially soft corns, it will save
much misery to pay a visit or two to a
good chiropodist. Home treatment is
slower and not always satisfactory. Halt
the "misery in our feet" is due to such
growths.
Perspiring feet add to discomfort. There
are various good powders that can be
busted on the feet or used in shoes.
