some nation or nations will win but
the price they pay will be SO great
that they will not term it a victory
Then will be the opportunity for
America, with her unspcnt energies,
to step in and secure Europe's CO.

But our efforts will be as tinkling

HEALTHIER CHILDREN CAMPAIGN
ADVOCATED.

DR.. True of Auburn, Maine, in considering
the marvellous success of Healthier Children
Campaigns in scores of cities and towns. sets
down some mighty good advice that should be
of value to every mother.
Here's how Or. True puts it: Child health,
like charity, begins at home There many
instances when mother overiooks some small
illnesses or notices them only ordinary child
ailments. For instance, child is i'll hundred,
has foul breath. is constipated and exhibits
host of other small and hardly noticeable all
ments In fact, these lead to numerous com
pllcations and, # the cause is not removed,
the result often means disastrous ailments"
DIR. True has made thorough study of chill
dren's diseases and attributes most of these
ailments to the one disease He claims
that every child is subject to this disease, and
that if mothers would take precautions against
it, children's affections would be greatly re-
duced. And not only child en- susceptible
to this detriment. but adults also.
DIR. True's unexcelled knowledge of this
dreaded disease, called worms, has enabled
him to produce remedy that will expel these
"life-sappers." 1t is known as 'Dr. Trues
Elixir. the Family Laxative and Worm Ex-
peller," and sells at all leading drug stores.
This old family remedy has been on the mar
ket since 1851.

the profit or loss made by each animal in
the herd. One third OF the cows in the
country Go not make profit, according
to the Government reports.
Why not apply the same system to the
farms and fields of New England? By
taking "Babcock tests" of each field,
the farmer is able to tell exactly what
profit and loss is made each year. A
record of the profits from year to year
is also important. The expense for fer
tilizer, labor, seed and drainage can be
computed over a number of years. Bet
ter farm management includes tae up
building of the soil, just as dairylng in

WAR BOOMS SHIPBUILDING.

Shipbuilding in the United States has
been given such an impetus by the En-
ropean war, according to the annual re.
port of Lloyd's Register of Shipping,
that there is at present under construc-
ton and on order, in this country, the
largest tonnage on record.
AS result of this increase and similar
activity in Japan, Holland and Scandi-
navian countries, the tonnage of vessels
entered in Lloyd's Register at the close
of the year ending June 30, 1915, was
100000 in excess of that of the CORE
spending date the year before This
was in spite of the losses to shipping as
a result of the war and the great falling
off in construction in Great Britain and
the other belligerent countries.
The vessels actually completed and
classed in Lloyd's Register during the
year ending June 80, 1915, numbered 57l.
OF 1926, 623 tons, OF which 536 were
steamers or motor vessels, of tonnage
of l, 289, 827, and IS were sailing vessels,
of 5796 tons. Of the total, 1854, PAT tons.
or about CT percent, were built for the
British Empire.
The past year has witnessed further
increase in the use of wireless telegraphy
and submarine signalling in the world 8
mercantile marine, there being now re-
corded 1889 vessels fitted with wireless
Geographic apparatus and 947 fitted with
submarine signalling apparatus.

up more grain than she produces. AL
though the climate, soil and other grow
ing conditions are adapted to the growing
of cereals, she buys more oats than she
raises each year.
The growing season, rainfall and the
nature of the soils are all suited to small
grain production. Continuous cropping
without rotation has made many of her
farms deere asingly productive. Grain
farming, with the use of manure and
fertilizers to rebuild the soils to their
former productive ability, would estab-
lish New England's production higher
and place her agriculture on a perma-
nent basis.

Largest Potato Yield Grown in 1899.
"What is the largest yield of potatoes
ever grown on one acre?" is the question
frequently asked experiment station men
by farmers. Prof. Henry G. Bell, for
merly professor of Agronomy at Maine
University, believes the yield of 73S l 2
bushels, raised by Mr.. Coy of Aroostook
county. Maine, in 1899 is the largest
ever grown in New England or in the
United State by commercial grower.
Teach Better Farming with the "Movies."
Enter the movies" into the agricul-
tural progress of the country. The last
word in better farming work is that the

The Flora Condor Collision Case.

PORTLAND, Nov. 10. No satisfactory
agreement having been reached as to
which party was responsible for the col
lision occurring in this harbor several
weeks since, when the three-masted
schooner Flora Condor was run into by
the steamer Governor Cobb and badly
damaged, the sailing craft remains tied
up at the wharf of the marine railway at
South Portland awaiting repairs. Both
parties to the collision have made their
reports to the U. S. steamboat inspec-
tors, Messrs, Thompson and Trevett,
Capt. Mitchell, the master of the Con-
don, claiming his fog horn was going at
at the time of the accident, which state
ment is denied by the officers of the
Cobb. The steamboat inspectors have
not yet rendered decision in the mat
ter, and the case will probably come be-
fore the courts for settlement.
