other tNpc of mental disorder which
the rough concentration banishes. No
body worries ON purpose, and worry
means that ones mind is only half on
what one is doing at >the time. Shy
ness and stage fright are also due to
lack of concentration on the matter in
hand. and to the intrusion of wholly
irrelevant matters. such as the thought
of ones own personality. One gets
over shyness and stage fright and the
nervous fears which belong to the
same class. by learning to be wholly

In spite of the modernization of the

hundred wooden war junks" on the
active list" most Of them being owned,
manned and armed by the higher order
of mandarins, whose pennants are flown
from the masthead on special occasions.
These junks are fror 50 to so feet long
s to 80 feet beam, and carry from to II
Misunderstanding guns, many of which are
made of wood. in some cases bound with
hoop-iron. Each junk has from two to
five masts of different sizes and stepped
in various directions-one to port, one
sloping for'ard. one aft, one to star
board, and the other vertical. They
have very high poops, the sterns being
decorated with curions-colored paintings,
and plankings extend forward and up
ward in a curved manner on each side Of
the bows, These plankings are painted
red, and are furnished with two painted
eyes, one each sde--evidently to guide

Apple Growers Join Crops.

Here is a point we believe worth
giving careful consideration b. Maine
fruit growers. 1t is advocated by w.
IL. Conant Of Buckfield. now taking a
short course in horticulture at Uni
versity of Maine. Mr.. Conant is
president of the oxford Bears Fruit
Growers Assn, and he believes in CO.
operation in marketing fruit. He
says:
Our Association was organized last
year with seven members. IL has
since admitted fonr more Its purpose
in TO efficiently and economically dis
tribute the fruit grown by its men,
in the hands Of one member to sell
A large number of dealers asked
them TO place price on the apples
they held. This they die not care TO
do until the time seemed right.
Finally when their circular was sent
out announcing the amount ana
grade of apples held, within two days
600 barrels were sold over the phone
at higher price than We ever heard
of apples being sold in oxford county,
We stamped upon each barrel and
box the grade Of the fruit it contain
ed and our aim was to pack little
better fruit than the grade called for
"A body of men can establish a
reputation quicker than an indiyid-
ual. because they have more fruit
available for sale. Large quantity is
always attractive to the buyer. 1t is
the plan of the association to employ
a bonded packer so that tie members
will have nothing to do with packing
the fruit. We believe that our Label
meant whole lot 10 us this year
before the season ended. at least
there seemed to be a brisk demand
for apples bearing our label"
This appeals to us as d common
sense plan and right along the line
of the tendency toward combining
common interests for common protec
tion; for getting the producer ant
consumer into the same zone ant
saving to both some of the unearneC
increment which is fattening tn,
scheming middleman.
Mr.. Conant advises against urgin,

not tell him that the proposition i
a sound one he will not be wort

recently gone in with more serious
ness for the aeroplane, whose adapt
