IN CASE OF WAR

Portland, Me-, April 29.-The First Reg

artillery organization of the National
Guard to be called into action.
sQuietly the war department has been
working with this end in view and there
lie now at Fort williams of the Portland
artillery district full equipment for every
company in the C. A. c., N. G. s. M,
recruited up to 10 men.
Staff officers of that regiment have
been furnished with complete field equip
ment--expensive German field glasses,
automatic revolvers and the like

forts goes into the hands of the Coast
Artillery Corps, N. G. S. NJ.
Seven companiese will remain at Fort
Williams under Col William o. Peter
son. The remaining five companies will
go to Fort Mckinley on Great Diamond
Island under the command of LIT. Col.
James NJ. Palmer of Lewiston.
The medical corps of the regiment
would also divide for service at either
fort
The regular companies are under six
hour orders for moving if the call
comes and the government transports
at either fort in the port of Portland
are manned day and night. They are
in readiness to hurry equipment and
supplies to the waiting trains in Port
land.

move in less than As hours and the
order to mobilize at the Portland forts
would probably be simultaneous with

son, the companies would go without
a halt to recruit up or make other
preparations.
The going of this regiment of Maine
is just as certain as the departure OF
the regular troops at Portland. Once
in the forts they would not be re-
moved for at least 80 days and then
perhaps to see further service in some

Unless either yetch or garden peas

How the Rain gores Holes.

When rain falls it does not actually
soak into the earth, but bores it's way
i'll, forming tiny tubes, says the Reho-
both Sunday Herald These tubes are
so small that 1t would be impossible
to insert hair in one of them with
out bursting its walls. Sometimes the
tubes are bored down to depth of
four or five feet. When the surface
dries the water evaporates from the
tubes, just as it would from pipe.
If the tube is twisted it takes longer
for the water to evaporate.
II one takes rake and stirs the
ground after each rain he breaks the
tops of the tubes and the water will
stand in them for months. In this way
the farmers of the West, on semi-arid
lands, store the rainfalls one year
and raise crop of wheat every other
year, there being sufficient water in
two years, but not enough in one. to
raise a crop.
