times he had crossed the city in the
night.
Evidently 1t is not absolutely neces-
sary for a community to revert to the
stone age in order to have deer run
ming wild in it's midst. Even New
York will be obliged to admit that
much now. AS matter of fact Maine
communities have more conveniences
and Maine folks live better than do
the people of communities of the same
size in other states.
The delegate of one of the strongest
labor organizations in Maine attended
a national convention for his union in
a far western city few years ago
and on his way home took occasion to
visit many cities and to investigate
the conditions under which men of
his craft lived and labored. He sum-
med up the results of his tour in the
following language:
THE workingman gets a little more
to eat, eats a little better food, lives
In a little better house in little bet
ter neighborhood, wears a little bet
ter clothing and has few more lux
uries like the piano, the monograph
and theatre tickets, in Maine than does
the Workingman earning the same
wages in the other States. He reads
more, he has more to say about how
he shall be governed and his social
caste is little higher. Maine looked
mighty good to me when l got back"
Maine isn't wilderness 1t has not
been standing still since 1860, but it
has not taken advantage of many of
its opportunities. The opportunities
are still here. Through the Develop
Maine Movement. Maine may benefit
through them. That is why the Devel-
OPP Maine Movement was organized Its
success depends on the rallying of all
progressive citizens to the cause. If

from the state of New York into the
state Of Minnesota, consisting of 539
boxes and 1922 cartons of Radam's Mi
crobe Killer, was alleged to be mis-
branded for the reason that statements
appearing on the labels of the pack
ages regarding the curative ard ther-
apeutic effect of the product were false
and fraudulent. This case was one of
the first brought by the government
under the Sherley Amendment to the
Food and Drugs Act, passed Aug. 23,
1912. The purpose of this amendment
is the more effectuaf prevention of in
terstate traffic in that class of prepara-

LOUISIANS ORDNANCE OF SECES-
SION TO BE RETURNED TO STATE

Washington, July 2S.-When the
pending bill passes Congress, providing
for the return of the ordinance of Sc
cession of the state of Louisiana to its
native archives, the files of the war
department will lose one of their most
curious possessions.
No one remembers exactly how the
old zinc tube containing the record OF
the convention which voted to leave
the Union reached the Department.
The case bears the simple legend
painted on its cover:
STATE OF LOUISIANA.
Ordinance of Secession.
January 26, 1851.
This is the only one of the ten other
similar documents that the govern
ment possesses, Different stories ex-
list as to the means by which the relic
reached the capitol. 1t is said that
General Butler, when he took New
Orleans seized all the official papers
he could find and sent them to Wash
ington. 1t is possible the old brown
tube containing it's message came
North with other trophies of war.
As far as the record shows the osdi-
nance first came to light in drawer
of Lieutenant Colonel Corbin's desk in
the Adjutant- Generals Department. 1t
was delivered to Major General Davis,
now retired, in 1895, and from him 1t
went to the Secretary of War who or
dered it placed on the files.

a different answer and all CLAIM to be
sure they have the right one and eagerly

have you if you swat the mosquito in

Massacre-A mosquito is a fish be-
fore it Is a mosquito. When you find
puddle full of wrigglers, kill them
before they turn into mosquitoes. A
wrigglers breathes, through his tail,
and oil on the surface of the water will
choke him to death. If you find all
the puddlels and keep them covered
with oil it means death to the mos
quito. Without birthplace or home no
mosquito can exist.
Extermination-Clea up and get rid
of the tin cans. broken bottles. old
pals; stock with fish all ponds and
fountain pools; clean the edges so the
fish can get at the young mosquitoes;
oil and screen places that hold water;
empty unused rain barrels. tanks. etc;

The Result.

Would it not be pleasant to be inform
ed by the Journal next fall that you
have won one of the prizes offered? If
you have friend or acquaintance that
is in the contest, there should be a
mutual exchange of ideas regarding
the pictures; not necessarily an ex-
change of answers but the points of a
picture; one may see it in one way and
another in an entirely different way
and this may give one of them a new
clew to solution that had not &C.

New Century Grange on July II took
up the topic of the advantages to the
farmer of the proposed rural credit
system, and it was discussed at some
length. One point brought out was
the recognition by the government of
the importance to the nation of the
American farmer. Selections from a
monograph were enjoyed also a solo
by Alta Black, who responded to- an
encore. Others gave readings, stories
or remarks. Several visitors from
other oranges were present.

CHATS WITH CONTESTANTS

To contestants already entered and
to those who contemplate entering the
Pastime, the editor offers this advice.
Do not become discouraged or allow
your interest to lag. Remember, you
are working for big cash prize and
II you find a picture now and then that
puzzles you do not give up but try,
try again; get the rest of the family
or friends, or neighbors to assist you;
perhaps they may see the picture from
different point than you have been
studying and give you a fresh clew
to work upon. And what feeling of
elation comes over one when, after
studying for long time, perhaps days
or weeks, solution is finally found
that just fits! And then one goes to

The following from the Municipal
Research, issued weekly by the Bureau
of Municipal Research of New York
City is on a subject in which we are
all more or less posted and the solu
ton of the problem viii interest all:
Mosquitoes without water are not.
Quiet water, stagnant water. slug
gish water, dirty water-A little water
and a lot of mosquitoes.
Tin cans broken bottles, rain bar
rels, bad cutters, catchbasins. marshy
places-all hold water.
The Answer-Get rid of the water
Many places are waging war on the
mosquito. Greenwich, Connecticut,
has spent over $4,000 in the last year.
Every county in New Jersey has a
mosquito discriminating commission.
New York has spent thousands. staten
Island is again habitable as a result of
the work
"The Female of the Species Is More
Deadly Than the Male"
Do you know?-That male mos
uito does not bite? That the mos
quito does not generate malaria? That
the mosquito catches malarie by bit
ing a person having malaria? That
you may catch it when she bites you?
Malaria-not bad air but bad mos
quitoes. Not all mosquitoes are bad
but none of them are good, so give
them mo quarter" Don't chase the
mosquito. You can't make him leave
home. But he'll go when he has no
home. Remove the water aI1 you'll
remove his home.
