Farm Credit, Agri-
cultural Education
And Highways

Bangor. Me, March 1s.-Farm cred
it and agricultural education in the
rural schools and State highways were
among the topics discussed here Tues
day. when the members of the State
Board of Trade Committee on Rural
Cooperation met in conference with
local banking, transportation and ag-
ricultural interests TO gather inform
alton for report at the next meeting
of the State board.
The committee was represented by
Chairman A. A Heald of Waterville,
e. T. Munger and L. A. Goudy Of Port
land, and F. E. Bragg of Bangor. The
committee and number of guests
were entertained upon arrival at lunch
by Pres. John r. Graham of the Ban
gor Railway & Electric Company.
Considerable time was given to the
discussion of credit for farmers.
c. O. burlington of Bowdeinham, lee
turer of the Maine State Grange, said
that there were many young men who
would stay on the farms and not go to
the cities if they could be extended
help in the way of long time credit to
buy farms.
H. w. Cushman, a Bangor banker
said that the average farmer will not
meet his obligations as promptly as
a city man, that ordinarily a farmer
stand the same with a bank as any
one else.
A. H. Bartlett of Monroe believed
that towns might aid their farmers in
extending credit on proper security al
reasonable rates of interest.
Several speakers claimed that the
present courses in the rural schools
tended to At the pupils more for places
in the city than on the farms. 1t was
almost the unanimous opinion of the
agricultural representatives that more
training for the farm and home should
be gwen in the public schools.
Pres. Percy r. Todd of the Bangor
& Aroostook Railroad spoke in re-
gard tn the 100000 bond issue of the
State for good roads. He said that he
favored it, but thought that a large
proportion should be expended for the
benefit of rural communities in MAX
ing better roads for them to get their
products to market or the railroad
stations.

Borst of Philadelphia. There is also
an anonymous contribution on the
legend of Lake Wapiti.
AS in former issues, the pictures are
one of the most interesting features
of publication. There are many re-
productions of views, fine fish and
game and photographs of outing par
ties that will arouse memories and
stimulate future plans for the lovers
of the woods.
Besides the chapters on hunting,
fishing and canoeing, there is a di-
gest of the game laws, a list of sellers
of sportsmen's licenses in the Bangor
< Aroostook territory, information on
the cost of a woods vacation and a
section made up of personal tributes
rs to the excellence of Maine woods
camps.
In addition to the fish and game
information there are two chapters on
the agricultural and industrial prog

Here is homemade remedy that
takes hold of a cough almost instantly,
and will usually conquer an ordinary
cough in "a hours. This recipe makes a
pint-enough for whole family. You
couldn't buy as much or as good ready
made cough syrup for $3.50.
Mix one pint of granulated sugar with
u pint of warm water; and stir
minutes. Put 21a ounces Of pinex fifty
cents WORTH in a pint bottle, and add
the Sugar Syrup. This keeps perfectly
and has pleasant taste-children like
it. Braces up the appetite and is
slightly laxative, which helps end a
cough.
You probably know the medical value
of pine in treating bronchial asthma,

concentrated compound of Norway
white pine extract, rich in guaiacol and
other natural healing pine elements.
Other preparations will not work in
this combination.
The prompt results from this inexpen-
sive remedy have made friends for it in
thousands of homes in the United States

plan has been initiated often, but never
successfully.

Houses of Correction in State.

The Revised Statutes of the State of
Maine provide that cities and towns
may maintain warehouses; or houses
of correction, or that until special
building is erected, the almshouse or
any part thereof may be used for
that purpose. In some of the ether
states where it is permitted to use
house of correction. 1t is distinctly
provided by law that the quarters of
criminals shall be entirely separate
from those of the dependents. That
the sentiment of the various munich
palities of Maine Is nearly abreast of
the times, however, is evidenced by
the returns made to the State Board
of Charities and Corrections in rela-
ton to poor relief. From those re-
turns it appears that there are only
five municipalities in the State that
use the almshouse as house of cor
rection, viz: Augusta, Bath, Bangor,
New Gloucester and Portland. Angus
Ia provides no separate quarters for
delinquents. The New Gloucester re-
turn is not clear upon this point, and
the matter will be investigated when
the almshouse is inspected by secre-
tary of the board, later in the year
At Bath separate but connected
building is used. At Bangor and
Portland separate quarters in the
same building are used.

in some cases coal furnished for the
benefit of outside poor had been ex-
changed by those receiving it for
liquor. and an investigation made by
Col. A. NJ. Soule, the secretary, con-
firmed the report. Those who re-
ceived the coal needed it baby enough,
but apparently preferred the liquor
and were ready to make an exchange.

1914 Edition OF
Maine Woods Out

Bangor, Me, March 1.-THE 1914
edition of I'm the Maine Woods" the
handsome annual published by the
Bangor & Aroostook railroad has been
issued, the first copies having been
distributed at the recent sportsmens
show in New York The book has the
customary number of interesting ar
ticles and alluring photographs and
contains, even more than heretofore,
an unusual amount of information
for the sportsman or sportswoman.
The full supply of books has not
reached the B. & A. offices so that
it will be few days before copies
will be available for the general pub
lie.
The cover design is always one of
the features of the annual and this
years is a striking and characteristic
scene by Oliver Kemp. 1t is in colors
and depicts hunter and his guide in
a canoe. The guide has been giving
the moose cali with success and the
hunter is preparing to take a shot at
the antlered forest monarch which is
peerins through an opening among the
pines. There is less detail than in
former cover designs which makes the
effect all the more striking.
The book was written and arranged
by Wilfred A. Hennesey and the con-
tributed articles are "A Short Story

Telephone Achievements

distance circuits of which as much as 20 miles
in underground cables. BY 1905 UNDER
ground talking distance had increased 10 90
miles. BY 1912 1t possible to talk under
ground from New York to washington.
1t was then that the construction Of under
ground conduits from Boston to Washington
determined upon,--not that 1t was expected
to get through underground talk between
those places. but in case of storm or blizzard.
to utilize intermediate sections in connection
with the overhead.
Our persistent study and incessant expert
mentation have produced results more remark
able still
We have perfected cables, apparatus and
methods that have overcome obstacles hereto
fore regarded as insuperable both to long dis
lance overhead and underground conversation.
Underground conversation is now possible be-
tween Boston and Washington, four times the
length of the longest European underground
line. This enabled the Bell System in the re-
cent great storm, destructive on land and
sea, to maintain communication for the public
between all the principal points on the Atlantic
seaboard.
Telephone communication is established be-
tween New York and Denver, is potentially
possible between all points in the United States.
and by 1915 will be an accomplished fact be-
tween New York and San Francisco.
In our use of methods or apparatus. we are
committed to no one system We own,
troll or have right to inventions neces-
sary to operate any system recognized or &C.
copied as the most efficient The Bell System
must always recognize and in it's selection must
always be governed by the necessities of
a national service. with its complex require
ments which is infinitely more exacting than
local or limited service.
These achievements represent vast expendi-
lures of money and immense concentration of
effort which have been justified by results or
inlmeasurabe benefit to the public. No local
company unaided could bear the financial or
scientific burden of this work Such results
are possible only through centralized general
staff avoiding wasteful duplication of effort,
working out problems common to all, for the
benefit of all.
The pioneers of the Bell System recognized
that telephone service they saw 1t, was in
the broadcast sense a public utility: that upon
them rested public obligation to give the best
possible service at the most reasonable rates
consistent with risk, investment and the con-
tinued Improvement and maintenance Of its
property.
without this expenditure of millions and con-
centration of effort, the telephone art as 1t
exists could not have been developed.
What we have done in working out these
great problems in the past should be accepted
as a guarantee of what we will do in the future.

About 80 different pamphlets per-
tanning to education are constantly
kept on hand at the office of the
State Superintendent of Schools to
supply the demands of the teachers
throughout the State. AS new pamph-
let's are issued the demand for the
older ones becomes very small so that
the storage space for these pamph-
lets is practically the same at all
times. The pamphlets together with
a good sized library of text books for
the unorganized townships in the
State, are kept in one of the largest
store rooms in the Capitol building.

That POpham Coal
WillNot Stay Down

Capt Arson oliver brought to the
Bath Times for shipment to Washing
ton to the experts OF the Geological
Survey several more specimens of the
coal washed ashore this winter on the
beach at Popham. One of the Jumps is
as large as football and all are ex-
cellent specimeng of freeburning coal.
A native of Small Point made the
Times call Monday evening and was
positive the Washington experts have
the coal situation here sized up
wrongly, for so far as he knows, there
never was a coal vessel wrecked off
Popham Beach and he does know that
there has been large quantities or the
ccal washed on the two beaches for
$50 years. as has been stated in this
paper. Moreover this is uncommonly
good coal and unlike any that is
known. Great quantities of it have
been washed ashore the past winter,
He himself picked up two Jumps one
of which weighed 16 pounds, which
showed like most of the Jumps 40,
| the cleavage line where 1t had been
broken from the reef of coal in the
| sea. He is sure that coal Will be found

Point, but thinks that the discovery
| will be due to accident.
