Gathered About the Building

Saturday being a half-holiday for
the State House employees the usual
hustle wears away early in the morn
ing, but the workmen found time to
try out the new electric elevator, 1t
working like a charm. From the bot
tom to the top of the building in Is
seconds is an agreeable change from
the old hydraulic system. The elevator
will be put into commission as soon
as the elevator we'll and the car can
be painted.
The work of retouching the walls of
tie Hall of Representatives has been
going on fer some time. Kicker & Nc
Forlane being in charge of the job. 1t
was found necessary to cover quite a
lot of surface on account of discolor-
alton and in some places the plaster it
self had to be removed and replaced.
1t is said that the cause is moisture in
the great granite walls. as the discol-

Work on the big water meter being

progressing rapidly. 1t has been cost
ing the State about $500 per year for

a contemplation of other changes
brought about a discussion of the
yearly expenses, with the result that
that State House will go onto a meter

Road Building COMPLAINTS

The following letter from the State
Highway Commission to various chair
men of selectmen and road commits
sioners of Maine, accompanied by the
letter of Gov. Haines to the State
Commission will be of unusual interest
to our readers, in these days of road
betterment:
Augusta, July Ia, 1914.
Chairman of Selectmen and Road
Commissioners:
All through the present season,
numerous complaints have been re-
ceived at this Office with respect to
the manner in which road repairs were
being made in particular towns. Each
of these complaints has been taken up
individually, but 1t is most discourage
ing to have the same complaint COM
ing In from various towns week after
week.
Enclosed is letter received by the
State Highway Commission a few days
ago from His Excelency. the Cover
nor, calling attention to these same
things. The Highway Commission de-
sires that you read this letter care
fully. We also want to emphasize
every word that the Governor says.
Municipal officers have been told re-
peatedly to use the road machine less
and the split log drag more, and that
as a result their money would go far
Their and their roads would be better.
In town after town this year--the
same thing has been true for several
years-mile after mile of road which
was in excellent surface has been abso-
lutely spoiled by the injudicious use of
the road machine. Can't you exert
some influence that will prevent fur

The roads in this State, generally
speaking, would be in much better con-
dition than they are today II the road

the State boundary.

vantage. and they will most readily
adopt your suggestions when they I'M
derstand them.
We have 100000 in the State
treasury specially appropriated to
be paid. over to the towns for
the year 1914 in aid of State aid
roads. We shall also have more
than $4,000 surplus receipts from

lied and issued for this year. which
will also be paid over to the towns to
assist them in the maintenance of
State aid roads. Now with this great
assistance from the treasury of the
State, which all the people have been
taxed to raise, it does seem as though
the people of the State through their
State officials, whose officials you are,
should have some of this money eX-
pended in the maintenance of the
roads we already have, and particular
~ in the improvement of the methods

l believe YOU will find that the in
spection system. if you can work 1t out
and get its adoption in the towns, will
prove of the greatest benefit to our
State, that the use of the split log drag
will prove one of the best devices, and
the preventing of putting sods in the
highways remedy for one of our
greatest highway evils.
Will you please give these matters
your earnest consideration, and greatly
favor,

Fighting Disease Germs

There is a popular idea that most
sickness is caused by germ of the
disease finding entrance to our bodies
through the food we eat, the water
or milk we drink or the air we
breathe. This Is true as far as 1t
goes but it is also true that disease
germs are entering our bodies every
day without causing disease.
The reason for this is that there
are forces within the body that are
constantly fighting these disease
germs and it is only when this de-
fence is weakened that the germs get
the upper hand and we become i'll
One of the most powerful of these
forces that work for health is rich

close pasturage. and the burning over

recurrence of the army worm.
What to Do For Lawns.
For small areas like lawns and pri-
waite grounds, the poison bait men,
tened above may be used. Equally eff
ficient is the application Of a spray
of one pound arsenate of lead dissolv-
ed in 25 gallons of water. If the
powdered arsenate of lead is more cas-
lily ohtainable, one pound of this may
be mixed with 8 pounds of flour and
busted on the grass where the worms
are feeding. 1t must be remembered
that arsenate of lead is a deadly poi
son to men and animals, as well as to
army worms.

Washington July 19.-Letters, tele-
phone messages and individual callers
have been soliciting aid from the u D.
Department of Agriculture to stop the
advance of the hordes of army worms
that threaten their fields of wheat, oats,
corn, timothy, blue grass, and other
grasses There seems to be a gener-
a! outbreak of this pest throughout the
North, east of the Rocky Mountains
These worms are emerging from eggs
laid by moths that apparently swarm
ed ND from the Southwest. Great
numbers of these moths nave beeh
noticed in the vicinity of Washington
during the past month, hundreds OF
their broken wings having been seen
near the Union Station. Lawns in the
capital are being overrun by this pest.
The army worm is a smooth, striped
caterpillar about an inch and a quarter
long and a quarter of an inch in diam
eter. It is rather dark in appearance.
While normally it feeds by night ana
hides by day, not being generally not
iced. as soon as it has increased to
such a number that its food supply
falls short, it starts TO travel and be-
coming holder. feeds both night and
day. The moth from which this worm
matches is brown with a white spot on
the center of each fore wing. 1t meas
ures about an inch and onehalf from
wing to wing.
How Worms May Be Destroyed.
If the worms have not yet attacked
a field the most practical way to keep
them out is to plow burrows in front
of them, throwing the furrow in the
direction toward which they are traV-
cling. The worms will fall into the
furrow and when this is full they may
be killed either by dragging log
back and forth in the furrow or by de-
strnying the worms in holes previously
dug at intervals of 90 feet in the bot
| tom of the furrow. Kerosene poured
on them in the holes will destroy them
II the worms are already in the field
the following mixture which Will at
tract the worms and destroy them
should be spread about: l pound of
paris green (poisonous), so pounds OF
wheat bran, juice of one-half dozen
oranges. Bring this mixture to stiff
dough by the use of dilute molasses
| and scatter it amongst the worms.
| Care should be taken to keep this
4
| dough from children or domestic ami
| mails.
Prompt action to prevent the worms
| from infesting a field is much better
| than later efforts to attempt to kill
| them in the grain. Once the caterpil-
| lars have infested a field, the meas
ures necessary to destroy them may
seriously hurt or even destroy the
crop.
The worms at first are almost al
ways localized in some definite breed
ing place in the field and immediate
efforts should be taken to eradicate
them in these small areas before they
have had time to spread. The normal
breeding place of the army worm is in
rank grass, such as is usually found
along the edges OF swamps or in spots
! of pasture land that have been over
| fortified. They are practically never
! found in swamps, because the worm
needs a reasonably dry place in which
| to breed. Clean cultivation, rotation of
crops, cleaning up of fence corners,
