IsTHMIAN CANAL ZONE DRY
One Exception to Statement That
1.-THE American Saloon Follows
the American Flag"

No license for the sale Of intoxicat-
ng liquors in the Isthmian canal zone
will hereafter be granted by the COM
nissioners. The government received
considerable revenue the last six
years from the five canal zone settle
ments where saloons were permitted,
but it/decided that 1t didn't pay"
The dramshops and the three great
American breweries closed their doors
July 1.
Mrs. Abbie B. Hillerman. national
w. c. T. U. representative in the
canal zone thus writes:
I'VE are thankful that there will be
one exception at least to the state
ment that The American saloon fol-
lows the American flag With the
eyes of the world conferred upon this
strip of land. which is so soon to be
the great ocean highway of nations.
this action is most opportune. We
believe that the thousands of pages of
temperance literature sent to this sec
ton by the National w. c.. T. u, to-
gether with the influence of temper
ance sentiment at home. has had some
part in this victory. 1t is certainly in
harmony with the views and actions
of the president of the United States
and his cabinet"

JUDGMENT NEEDED
WITH LATE CHICKS
Late Hatched Fowls Must Be
Hurried in Their Growth
Fast as Possible.
CBy MRS. A. J. wILDERJ

June is a busy month for the farm
poultry raiser and the days are hard
Iy long enough to do what must be
done with the poultry and in the
garden.
The long, hard winter and late, wet
spring have thrown us all behind In
the work of both. This will cause US
to hatch more late chickens than we
otherwise would and means extra
care and trouble to bring them to
maturity before cold weather catches
them. This can De done. but requires
care and good judgment. Late hatch
ed chickens must be hurried in their
growth as fast as possible and still
must not be overfed so that their d.
gestion is injured. Indeed. this is the
problem in all chick feeding.
For all chicks, late or early. the
same rule holds for the first feeding.
Do not feed for twenty-four hours
after Matching. Some say thirty-six
or forty eight hours. but I think that
leaving the chicks SO long without
nourishment weakens them and is as
bad as feeding too soon. Twenty-four
hours is my rule and then feed only
a little. as much as they will eat up
quickly.
For the first feed give bread
crumbs and hard-boiled eggs. mixed
together and moistened with sweet
milk or water. To this I add little
clean sand. Be sure the feed is not
sloppy, but Just crumbly.
Little chicks should be given all
they will eat up clean every two
hours. giving the first feed as soon
after daylight as possible and the
last just before they go to sleep for
night.
After two days l feed oatmeal and
cracked wheat and little fine corn
for the greater part of the ration.
still. however, giving them the bread
crumbs for one or two meals day.
The bread crumbs / soak In milk
and then squeeze them dry.

CBy MICHAEL K. BOYER)
1t is surprising how many people,
otherwise model citizens. are guilty
of cruelty to both fowls and animals.
II may not be altogether intentional
on their part, but nevertheless they do
things that call for censure.
One of the most common acts is to
carry chickens by their legs. heads
down. This cruelty has been practiced
for years and no one thought much
about It,
They did not notice the rush of
blood to the head of the fowl when
carried that way. A neighbor of ours
the other day was carrying fat hen
by the legs and in a few moments the
bird was gasping and came pretty
close to choking to death.
An equally cruel method is to carry
tho fowl by the wings-especiallly SO
when the fowls are heavily bodied.
The proper way is to allow the fowl
to rest on the arm, the legs held firm
ly by the hand; or it can be held be-
tween the arm and the body.
A dealer was one day noticed to
yank killing stock out of a crate by
catching by a leg or wing and other
wise roughly handling them. When
demonstrated with he replied that it
did not matter. as the birds would
soon be killed
With some people It is, common oc-
currence to throw chickens over the
fence into yard. There is really
no telling In what manner they will
reach the ground and when this cruelty
is performed when the attendant is in
a fit of anger there is considerable
force put into the throw.
A very pious old gentleman was
vexed to the ''cussing" point because
his chickens happened to get out Of
the yard through a broken fence in
to his garden.
In his anger he threw a stone and
famed one OF the fowls. There. 1t
serves you right: ! don't pity you a
bit" was the only comment on the &C
cident.

The Joke Worked Badly.

Manchester, n. H.-Antonios Sigel,
who has been languishing in Jail in
Manchester for several days as the
result of a joke, sees liberty in store
for him as result of the reduction OF
his bail from $500 to $500. Sometime
ago Sigel went 10 call on his best girl
in Nashua and when he arrived there
found another man was ahead of him.
He thought It would be a good joke
on his arrival to carry away his over
coat and hat The other man took
the matter altogether too seriously
and had Sigel arrested with the re-
suit that he was lodged in Jail under
$1,000 bonds. An investigation of his
previous good character resulted in
the reduction as above. But he will
play no more jokes on his rival.

Life Underwriters Association Hears
Transportation Problems Dis
cussed-Boston Now In
Third Place

Boston-The freight terminals Of
Boston were condemned as about the
worst OF any large commercial city
In the world" by President James j..
Storrow, OF the Chamber of Com
merce, at the Both annual banquet of
the Boston Life Underwriters Asso-
citation.
Mr.. Storrow declared that condi-
tions in Chicago are best, that they
are still bad in New York, but infin'
itely superior TO Boston. He said that
while it was not the policy OF the
chamber TO ruin either New England
or the railroads, it's members did in
tend to see that the community gets
the service it needs, while the roads
get fair play.
He pictured the Grand Trunk as a
help TO Boston, not as a drawback to
other roads. lie declared that it's en-
trance into the city would eventually
make Boston clearing house for the
grain and ether exports OF Canada, in
place of New York, Baltimore and
Philadelphia as at present. He said,
In part:
"In 1907. 81 per cent of Canada's 8
freight came through Boston. and 3
per cent. through Philadelphia and
Baltimore. In just four years, in 1911,
Philadelphia and Baltimore had just
passed Boston. Why should these cit
les have the trade which should come
TO Boston?
For the better regulation OF railroad
problems, Mr.. Storrow advocated a
board to be composed of the six chair
men Of the New England states com
missions, 10 work in conjunction with
the interstate commerce commission.
New England's interests cannot be
adequately protected unless she is
represented at the commission" de-
clared Mr. Storrow.
Prof. Bruce Wyman OF the Harvard
law School, who has recently drafted
public utilities law at the requesa
Of Gov. Foss urged governmental con-
troll for the public utilities problems
and applying this to New England
transportation declared that the New
England states must combine their
forces.
I'VE need new terminals, more
tracks. bigger transfer houses, and
large classification yards" he said,
before any management. however de-
ternined, can render the service
which the growth of our industries re-
quire, and as the Governors have sug-
gested, very probably the time has
come for a reorganization Of the cor
porations constituting the system"

Elliott c. Dill in his annual report

Is the fact that never in the history
OF the organized militia have the Off
GERS and enlisted men worked SO
studiously and so successfully to per.
feet themselves in the essentials of
their military duties. The other is
the fact that despite this hard and
continuous Work there has been a
steady gain in membership" Figures

gate strength OF the National Guard

the year 1912 from 1914 TO 1850. or
this increase of 23o, 6l are accounted
for by the muster-in OF the new
Tenth Company, Coast Artillery
Corps, at Brunswick in April. but the
remaining increase OF 175 is distribut.
ed generally throughout the several
organizations and indicates healthy
and most encouraging growth. Discus
sing general conditions in the state

State and nation In time OF need they
would lend hearty support to every.
thing which would tend TO the fur
ther upbuiiding OF the National Guard

Compared with many States,
Maine has done little to encourage
service in the organized militia. yet
| believe this is due more to lack
OF proper presentation than to any
feeling OF antagonism or indifference
In common with many officers who
have studied the militia at close
range, | came to the conclusion "a
hong time ago that before the militia
could expect greatly increased sup
port from the people It must make
good in its chosen work. But the
time has arrived when the National
Guard and Naval Reserve can Justly
claim that they made good. From
somewhat extended acquaintance ]
feel justified in saying that the peo
pie OF Maine have right TO be
proud OF their militia organization.
